As a few mores passed for little Sora since her first birthday party and first steps and now a new challenge was coming up for her a challenge we all had to face when we were kids going to school for the first time ever. Now Sora seemed very excited to start school as she wanted to make new friends and thought school sounded exciting which surprised both Po and Tigress as they never really liked school but it seemed Sora didn't inherit that from them which made them happy after all they want her to like school not feel like she is forced to go but before school starts which was in a couple of weeks and had decided to get school shopping with Sora so she could pick out her supplies and clothes. So as soon as morning would wise they would spent it shopping.
"Alight Sora are you ready to go shopping tomorrow" Tigress said as she sat on the edge of Soras bed and pulled the covers up to her chin while Po was standing next to the bed.
"Yeah" Sora said in an excited voice and felt the warmness of the covers over her and looked up at her parents and smiled.
"Well then you get a good night's rest alright Sora" Po said with a smile on his face and bent over kissing Sora on the forehead causing her to laugh a little.
"Yes dad" Sora said as she knew she already had to and seen her father walk to the door of her room as he waited for Tigress.
"Good night Sora I love you" Tigress said softly as she bent down kissing Sora on the cheek and make sure she was all warm and just right and then walked over to Po.
"Have sweat dreams Sora" Po said softly as he put his arm around Tigress and smiled at his daughter who was looking at him and Tigress.
"You to and I love you mom and dad" Sora said softly as she put her head down on the pillow and began to close her eyes while cuddling up with the two plush toys her father gave her while she was still a baby.
"We love you Sora" Po and Tigress said in unison and lightly closed Soras door as they then headed to their room which was right across from Soras and laid down in bed as the two began to sleep waiting for morning to come as was their daughter.
As they slept through the peaceful night with the full moon shining bright on the valley with stars accompanying it and eventually morning came as the sun began to rise over the valley and as it did it shined into Soras room who was sleeping peacefully and it began to shine on her closed eyes causing her to open them slowly and look up in the sky as it was blue with clouds and the sun.
"Morning" Sora said in a happy voice as she began to stretch and yawn and jumped out of her bed with excitement as she then began to get dress putting black sweats on and a red shirt on almost like Tigress red training outfit and headed off to her parents room with fastness.
"Mom and dad its morning" Sora said as she opened her parents door only to find them still sleeping as her father was snoring with his mouth open and her mother laying her head on his shoulder and snoring a bit causing Sora to laugh as she thought it was funny to see her parents like this.
"Come on guys wake up" Sora said as she climbed up onto the bed and onto Pos belly and began to bounce on it causing a jiggle sound and Po to open his eyes a little to see what was going on.
"Hu" Po said in a tired tone as he opened his eyes a little but hey were a little blurry so he wiped them and as he did she seen Sora right in his face with a smile on her face.
"Sora what are you doing up" Po said as he let a big yawn out and sat up a little causing Tigress to turn to her side getting her head off of his shoulder and onto a pillow and kept sleeping.
"It's morning that's why" Sora said as she did a few more jumps on his belly and then landed on the ground and pointed to the hallway as there was sunlight coming through the palace windows.
"I guess so" Po said as he rubbed his eyes a little and smiled at his daughter who then jumped back onto the bed and went over to her mother to let her know it was time to wake up.
"Mommy time to wake up" Sora said as she rubbed her mother's shoulder continuously until she began to see her open her eyes.
"Oh hey sweetie what are you doing up so early" Tigress said as she opened her eyes and seen her daughter and brought a smile to her face but couldn't help but wonder why she was already up.
"Don't you remember mom its shopping day" Sora said in an excited voice as she began to jump on the bed and Tigress then began to sit up in the same position as Po.
"Oh yeah today is the day Hu" Tigress said in a tired tone as she wasn't fully awake yet but was trying her best to stay awake.
"Uh Hu" Sora said as she calmed down and sat between her parents with a smile on her face as she waited for them to get up and get moving so they could go.
"Um Sora you think you could let us get awake first and I promise we will go right away" Po said as he looked over at Tigress and could tell she wasn't ready either as he and her needed to get awake first after all they are going to need their energy.
"You promise" Sora said in a serious tone as she wanted to know if her father was telling her the truth and not lying.
"Cross my heart and hope to die" Po said as he raised his right paw and made an x over his heart with his left paw and smiled down at Sora who could tell he was telling her the truth.
"Alright then I will be in my room fighting the enemy's off" Sora said as she hoped off the bed and headed to her room as she loved pretending to fight off enemy's in her spare time as it was her favorite.
"Well I can see what she gets her excitement" Tigress said as she looked over at Po with a smile on her face and laughed a little.
"I guess so" Po said as he began to rub the back of his head and began to blush a little.
"Well we should probably get awake after all Sora is waiting for us" Tigress said as she got out of the bed and began to put her usual outfit on her training outfit and Po then got out bed wearing his same old shorts as that was what he was going to wear and the two began to get awake the best way they can get awake Tigress began to do pushups and sit ups while Po was waiting for her to finish as he waited for his way to awaken as Tigress finished and walked up to Po.
"Alright Tigress you know what to do" Po said as he looked over at her but was still tired.
"Of course I do" Tigress said with a smile on her face as she walked up to Po and brought her lips to his and let her tongue dance across his mouth as Po did the same and the two stayed like this for about 5 minutes until Tigress brock away from his lips.
"YEAH BEST WAY TO WAKE UP" Po shouted as he flung kicks and punches to the air as he figured Tigress kissing him was the best way for him to get excited and ready to do anything.
"Hmm you sure do love that don't you Po" Tigress said as she laughed a little but she already knew that he loved it no matter how many times they have kissed.
"Of course it's awesome" Po said as he kept throwing punches and kicks into the air but stopped as he remembered that he and Tigress are both awake and what he promised Sora.
"Let's go get Sora" Po said as he handed his paw out to Tigress who then took it gladly and the two were off to Soras room as they got their they could hear hi yahs coming from the room and opened the door.
"Sora" Po said with a wondered look on his face as he then seen his daughter fighting off pretend bad guys.
"Oh hey mom and dad just had to fight off these bad guys" Sora said as she threw last punch into what seemed to be the last villain knocking him down.
"Sora behind you" Po said as he pointed behind Sora and did a barrel roll towards Sora punching the last villain down.
"Thanks dad" Sora said as she looked up at her father with a smile and then was picked up by him as he put his arm under her and her having one of her arms on the back of his neck.
"So Sora did you beat those bad guys" Tigress asked as Sora and Po came up to her and the three started to walk down the hall way.
"Oh yeah they couldn't handle my awesomeness" Sora said in a happy tone as she threw a punch to the air causing her parents to laugh a little and smile at her.
"I think I have heard your father say that before to" Tigress said as she looked over at Po who began to blush as he began to remember all the times he had said awesome or that his enemies were blinded by his pure awesomeness.
"Really dad" Sora said as she looked up at her father as she never knew he had also said that before.
"Well just a few times" Po said as he laughed a little and rubbed the back of his head hopeing the subject would change so he doesn't have to say all the times he had said awesome or anything that had awesome in the sentence.
"But I'm sure your awesomeness is so much more awesome then mine" Po said as he began to tickle Soras belly causing little Sora to laugh and giggle.
"What about your awesomeness mom" Sora said as she turned her head to her mother who had begun to think of an answer as she never used the word awesome.
"Well sweetie um" Tigress said as she was having trouble finishing the sentence that is until Po said something.
"Sora your mother is so awesome that people in the valley get blinded by it" Po said as he looked down at Sora who had an amazed face when she heard how awesome her mother was.
"Really that's so cool" Sora said in a happy tone and looked back at her mother who had a smile on her face.
"Yep the coolest" Po said softly as he looked up at Tigress with a smile and could tell Tigress was happy that he said that for her.
The trio then continued their way to the palace doors and when they reached them they began to open the doors until they heard a voice behind them as it sounded like Shifu and it was.
"Oh hi master Shifu" Po said as he bowed to his master as Tigress did the same and even Sora gave a little bow to Shifu.
"May I ask where you three are going" Shifu said in calm voice as he couldn't help but wonder where they were going at this time in the morning.
"Well we are going school shopping for Sora as she is about to start her first day of school in a few weeks" Tigress said as she explained to her master of what they were doing and as she did Shifu nodded as he was understanding what they were doing.
"Really are you excited about that Sora" Shifu asked the little cub as he walked towards her as she was still in her father's arms and looking down at the little red panda.
"Yep" Sora said in a happy tone making Shifu crack a smile as he had never seen a kid so excited about school as he remembered how Tigress was her first day and let's just say she didn't really like it.
"Well then I wish you luck in finding the right tools she needs and clothes" Shifu said in a soft tone as he bowed to the three and walked with his staff in his hands back to the sacred hall of warriors to continue his meditation.
"Alright then you ready to go Sora" Po asked as he turned his attention back to Sora and began to face the doors along with Tigress.
"Yeah" Sora said as she was already ready to go and as she said that Po opened the palace doors to the palaces court yard and began to walk to the stairs that lead down to the valley and as they got their Soras eyes widened at the sight.
"That's a lot of stairs" Sora said with an amazed face as she never thought this many stairs could exist.
"It sure is" Po said as he began to remember the first day he had to climb up these stairs as he was exhausted and tired by the time he was done.
"Hey mom" Sora said as her eyes were still fixated on the stairs in front of her and then turned her head to her mom.
"Yes sweetie" Tigress asked as she walked over to Sora and wondered what her daughter wanted to ask her but Tigress had a feeling what she was going to ask.
"Can I sit on your shoulders please" Sora said as she didn't want to walk down the stairs and rather sit on her mother's shoulders.
"Of course you can" Tigress said with a smile on her face as she had a feeling Sora didn't want to walk down those stairs I mean Tigress couldn't blame her after all Tigress wasn't a fan of these stairs either.
"Thanks mom" Sora said as Tigress grabbed her and put one of her legs on her right shoulder and the other one on the left. As Sora then rested her head on her mother's head and began to enjoy the hot sun beating down onto her fur.
"I can't believe it Po she is already starting school" Tigress said as she looked up to see little Sora taking a nap on her head but felt sad to see her daughter grow up so fast.
"I know it seems just like yesterday we were blessed with her" Po said as he remembered the night she was born and the first time he held her in his arms and he began to get teary as he didn't want her to grow up.
"Don't worry Po I know in my heart that she will grow up right and be a kind person" Tigress said with a smile on her face and looked over at Po who began to smile as he imagined Sora grown up.
"Yeah she will be" Po said softly as he walked over to Tigress and put his paw on top of Soras head and rubbed it a little and as he did he felt her purr and as she did he felt his heart fill with warmness as it always did when he felt her purr.
After about 50 minutes passed they had arrived in the valley of peace and headed towards the store and once they arrived their Po got a cart and Tigress decided it was time to wake Sora up as it was time to start shopping.
"Sora" Tigress said softly as she moved her paw across Soras cheek a little causing Sora to open her eyes.
"Yeah mom" Sora said in a tired tone and began to open her eyes.
"We are here" Tigress said as she looked up at Sora to let her know it was time to start.
"Really awesome" Sora said in an excited tone as she jumped off her mother's shoulder ready to start looking for clothes and supplies.
"That was quick" Po said as he was amazed at how fast Sora went from tired to a burst of energy but she was excited about this.
"Well Sora where do you want to start" Tigress asked Sora as she took her paw and looked down at her.
"Clothes let's get clothes" Sora said excitedly as she began to pull her mother to the clothes with fastness.
"What about your supplies" Tigress said as she was being pulled but then stopped as Sora stopped and looked over at her father.
"Don't worry I will get them" Po said as he could tell was more interested in the clothes and decided to get her supplies for her and besides that he didn't really like going clothes shopping he found it boring.
"Thanks dad now come on mom" Sora said as she looked at her father thanking him and then began to pull Tigress again to the clothes section and soon they were gone.
"Ok now supplies" Po said as he pushed the cart and began to look for the school section and eventually found it as there were signs and everything was on sale.
"Now let me think" Po said as he pondered at the supplies trying to figure what Sora needed for school as it couldn't be a lot after all she was just starting school and while Po was deciding Sora and Tigress were trying on clothes.
"What about this one mom" Sora said as she held up a pink t shirt that read party girl.
"Its cute you can get it if you want" Tigress said with a smile on her face as Sora face lit up when she could get it.
"Oh look at this one" Sora said as she found a red t shirt and it read kung Fu Master.
"Awesome do you like it" Tigress asked Sora but could tell by her daughters face she loved it.
"Of course can I get" Sora asked with an excited voice as she looked up at her mother hopeing the answer was yes.
"Yes you can whatever you want" Tigress said as she rubbed Soras head a little and smiled down at her and with that Sora began to pick out a bunch of t shirts, pants, and sweats.
As the day passed on Sora got her clothes and Po got her supplies and with that the three began to head back home with Sora back on her mom's shoulders sucking a lollypop.
"So Sora you and mom have a good time" Po asked as he was carrying groceries in his arms and looked up at her.
"Yep it was awesome Hu mom" Sora said with a smile on her face and looked down at her as she pulled the lollypop out of her mouth.
"It sure was awesome" Tigress said as she looked up at her daughter with a smile on her face and Sora then placed her head down on her mother's slowly and looked up at the sun setting and began to close her eyes.
After Tigress and Po with Sora on Tigress shoulders had reached the palace as it was dark as the moon came out and the stars were back to lite up the sky.
"Ok Sora we are h" Tigress said as she was about to tell Sora they were home but stopped as she looked up only to see Sora sleeping already as she looked very peaceful.
"Looks like she is already asleep" Po said as he opened the door for Tigress and Sora and then entered the palace with them. As they did Po went to the kitchen and Tigress went to go put Sora in her bed.
"Alright let's get you to bed" Tigress said softly as she opened Soras room and walked over to the side of her bed and picked her up off her shoulders gently and place her in the bed and pulled the covers over her keeping her warm.
"Sweet dreams my little Angel" Tigress said softly as she kissed Sora on the forehead and left the room closing the door slightly and headed to the kitchen to see Po sitting at the table.
"Fun day Hu" Po said as he looked up at Tigress who then sit on his lap and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I guess" Tigress said as she let a little cat yawn out as she was tired and she wasn't the only one Po was also tired as he and her had a long day.
"So what did you get" Tigress asked Po as she looked up at him with a wondered look.
"Pencils, glue, rulers, backpack the usual stuff I think" Po said as he looked down at Tigress and hoped he got the right supplies for Sora.
"Well it will just be a few weeks until school starts for her" Po said as he held Tigress paw and began to rub it also placing his head on hers.
"Yep I hope she will like it" Tigress said as she began to close her eyes and began to rest on Po.
"I'm sure she will" Po said softly as he to begin to close his eyes and began to sleep with ease.
The weeks then flew by like they didn't even happen and school was here for little Sora as she stood outside the school with Po and Tigress by her side but Sora was feeling very nervous about it and almost felt like she was going to puke.
"You alright Sora" Tigress asked with worry as she kneeled down to her daughter and placed her paw on Soras shoulder.
"Yeah I'm just nervous" Sora said with worry in her voice and began to twiddle her fingers trying not to be nervous.
"Well Sora just remember if you feel nervous or scared were here with you" Po said as he to kneeled down and put the necklaces heart in his hand and opened it up showing Sora the picture of her and her parents.
"Thanks dad" Sora said as she felt her nervousness start to go away as her father reminded her that they will always be with her even when they aren't.
"Alright Sora its time for us to go so have a good first day alright" Tigress said as she felt tears start to try and come out of her eyes and had to let a few fall and hugged her daughter.
"I will mom" Sora said as she returned the hug but also felt a little embarrassed as her mom was hugging her in front of the school.
"Have fun Sora and we will be out in the front when you get out" Po said as he too gave her a hug and rubbed her head a little smiling at her.
"Alright dad" Sora said as she smiled at her parents and ran to the front door but not before turning around and shouting something to them.
"I LOVE YOU" Sora shouted to her parents so they could hear her and that they did.
"WE LOVE YOU TO SORA" Tigress shouted as she waved her arm to her daughter who then entered the school and as she did Tigress couldn't help but feel happy for Sora but also felt sad to see Sora go. As she and Po then headed back to the palace and waited for school to get out.
Sora then entered the school and as she did she was greeted by a sheep.
"Hi what's your name" the sheep asked little Sora.
"Umm Sor…Sora" Sora said as she was a bit shy as she began to blush and her eyes looked to the ground and back up to the sheep.
"Sora Hu let me take you to your class" the sheep said as she took Soras paw gently and began to walk with her to her class and when she got their the sheep escorted her in and when she did there was a bunch of kids playing around as they waited for the teacher.
"You think you will be okay here with the other children" the sheep asked softly as she looked down at Sora.
"Yeah" Sora said as she looked up at the sheep and then back to the kids playing around and with that the sheep left and Sora was standing by herself that is until a small wolf pup came up to her.
"Hi there" the wolf pup said as he was trying to catch his breath from playing with the others and greeted Sora.
"Hi" Sora said softly as she began to feel shy and nervous again.
"My name is Bandit" Bandit said with a smile on his face as he waited for Sora to tell him her name.
"Sora" Sora said softly as she seemed to be relaxing when talking with Bandit.
"Sora that's a pretty name" Bandit said with a smile on his face and as he did Sora began to blush a little at what he said.
"Thanks" Sora said as she smiled at Bandit and the two then starred at each other in the eyes that is until the teacher came in as it seemed to be an ox.
"Alright children take your seats" the ox said as he walked over to his desk and set his things down as he did the children then found their spots and began to sit all except Sora and Bandit.
"You can sit next to me if you want" Bandit said as he figured that there was two open spots on the ground and they were the only ones not sitting yet.
"Ok thank you" Sora said as she set her back pack down and walked over with Bandit sitting on the matt with him as they and the others waited for the teacher to begin.
"Alright children my name is Mr. lock" Mr. Lock said as he wrote his name on the board so the children could remember his name.
"Now today you will be telling us about yourself and what you would like to do when you grow up" Mr. Lock said as he looked at the children who began to get excited as they could tell their classmates who they are.
"Why don't we start with you" Mr. Lock said as he pointed at Sora who heart began to beat fast from all the eyes staring at her.
"Umm okay" Sora said as she stood up and began to look around and began to feel scared and nervous from all the eyes on her waiting for her to say something but she then grabbed the necklaces heart and heard her father's words echo through her and as they did she began to relax and felt happy.
"My name is Sora" Sora said as she looked at the teacher and the students.
"Hi Sora" the children and Mr. Lock said in unison.
"I live at the jade palace and my parents are Po and Tigress" Sora said in a happy tone as she was glad to share who she was but the class began to have amazed looks from what she said.
"No way that's so cool" a sheep said as she had always heard of the famous Po and Tigress and was happy to see that they had a daughter.
"Yeah it is" a ram said with excitement.
"My wish is to be like my parents kind and full of awesomeness" Sora said in a happy tone and the class laughed a little at the awesomeness part but they thought it was very cool.
"Thank you for introducing yourself to us Sora" Mr. Lock said as he began to clap as did the other children for Sora and she sat back down.
"Nice" Bandit said as he looked over at her and smiled.
"Thanks" Sora said as she returned the smile and began to listen to the other children's dreams and who they were.
As the last child finished up School was over with and the children grabbed their backpacks and headed out to the doors and as Sora headed out she seen her parents standing there as they promised and waved to them.
"See you tomorrow Sora" Bandit said as he began to walk towards his parents and waved to her.
"See ya" Sora said as she waved back at Bandit and then ran up to her parents and as she did she hoped into her mother's arms embracing her.
"How was your first day Sora" Tigress said in a happy tone as she was glad to see her daughter as it almost felt like days she had seen her but it was only a few hours.
"Awesome" Sora said as she looked at her parents and smiled.
"That's cool did meet any new friends" Po asked as he wanted to know if his daughter was popular in class so much that she would have to fight them off.
"I think so" Sora said as she remembered Bandit and seen how nice he was to her and felt like he was a friend to her.
"Well in celebration of your first day of school and making friends we are going out to eat with the others to the pizza place" Po said as he looked at her daughter as he knew that pizza was her favorite food and deserved it.
"AWESOME" Sora shouted as she began to jump up and down in Tigress arms causing the two to laugh and smile at her daughter being so excited and when night time came Po and the others went out for pizza as Sora got her cheese pizza as it was her favorite while her mom got tofu and the others peperoni and they began to dig in stuffing their faces in honor of Sora as she had made it through the first day of school.
