Sorry about the lateness of my update. It was Spring Break for me and I was busy hanging with homies.

"Maybe the harder I push myself the quicker I will forget." Po stated to himself as he punched the dummy harder and harder.
It had been an easy two months after the defeat of Shen and Po had settled himself back into his duties, but about a week ago Po ran into an old bully of his. Despite having becoming the great and powerful Dragon Warrior, his childhood bully still belittled Po to the point of a near break down from the panda. The gentle black and white bear was never one to upset others and I would prove to be equally accepted that he didn't like to be upset himself. As Po continued to beat on the innocent dummies, he failed to notice the female tiger that was calmly watching him from across the training hall.
"Why do I have to be such a fat…" Po punched the dummy hard.
"Stupid…" He punched it even harder.
"Clumsy…" His words oozed with venom as he delivered yet another powerful hit.
"Disgusting panda!" Po's voice echoed through the hall as he smashed through the dummy. Po let his breaths spill out in large amounts as he sat on the ground. Tigress, who had watched everything happen, had eyes wide in shock. She had never seen Po destroy anything in a rage, much less get angry. That had always been her job, to have the temper. After watching the panda for a moment, Tigress decided to go talk to him.
"Are you ok?" She said as she came up behind him.
"Yeah." Po said, refusing to look her in the eyes.
"Usually I'm the one destroying stuff, is something the matter?" Tigress said and sat next to him, longing to get a look at his eyes.
"It's just… I ran into an old bully and even though I'm the Dragon Warrior, they still mocked me." Po said and turned his hurt eyes onto Tigress who had a soft understanding look on her face.
"Why do you let it bother you?" Tigress asked.
"I don't know, it just does. After becoming a warrior I just wanted the people who were rude to me to at lest be somewhat nicer… but that didn't happen." Po said still upset.
"Then those kinds of people don't deserve your lo… uh… your respect." Tigress fixed her words and hoped like hell Po didn't hear her. Po never reacted so she figured she was safe.
"Yeah, but it would still be nice." Po mumbled.
"I'm sorry." Tigress softly said after a few moments.
Po looked at her with a questionable look. "For what?"
"For you first couple of days here." Now it was Tigress' turn to look upset.
"You mean when you wanted me gone?
"I was just so angry."
"I wouldn't blame you, a fat panda dropping in front of you taking your title away that you had worked for all your life." Po said meaning only as a joke, but Tigress felt like he was beating himself up.
"Po please don't ever say that." She stated in a serious tone and gave him a stern look. "It's your title you deserve it, and don't call yourself fat… it is healthy for you to be at that weigh and you look… good with all of that 'fluff'." Tigress finished as she pointed at all of him, making them both chuckle.
"I forgave you guys a long time ago, for all of that." Po said brushing it off his shoulder.
"I really am monster…" Tigress buried her head into her paws
"Hey! If I can't call myself fat, then you can't call yourself a monster. Your just hardcore and awesome!" Po said with a smile, trying to get Tigress to show her rare smile.
"But I was so mean to you! I didn't show you any…" Tigress stopped when she felt his paws wrap around her.
"I said I forgave you. I understand where you were coming from, please don't blame yourself." Po said as he tightened his grip on her, and he was surprised when she hugged back. "Please, for me."
Tigress had always admired him, for him. And always hated herself for being rude to him when he first arrived at the Jade Palace. When he had grabbed her paw in Gongmen City's harbor, right before he defeated Shen, Tigress was positive that she had fallen for the panda, but was just too scared to admit it.
"Okay. I will." Tigress said with closed eyes as her head settled into the crook of his neck as they continued their hug. But soon their moment was ruined when they heard someone coming into the training hall. The tiger and panda broke apart, both with a bit of blushing on their cheeks.
"Po! Po?" Viper was yelling for him. "Ah! There you are! Master wants you to start dinner."
"Oh, well I'll go get it started right away." The blushing panda stood up and hustled out of the building with quite the speed. Viper then turned to Tigress curiously.
"What were you guys doing in here?" Viper asked.
"We were training." Tigress lied; knowing only one of them had actually been training. Viper knew this wasn't what they were doing, but decided not to push the issue.
THE NEXT DAY…
Po was running more errands for his father. He was minding his own business, but then a face that didn't exactly make Po smile showed up.
"Hey fatso!" the voice yelled from behind Po.
"Who's that?" Po whirled around to reveal his old bully, back for more. "Rich, why are you here?
"Is the little baby Po off to help his daddy?" the panther said in a child-like voice.
"Stop it! And get away from me." Po said and tried walking away, but Rich stood in front of him.
"What? The mighty Dragon Warrior get his feelings hurt?" he said while making a pouting face.
"Why do you do this to me?" Po looked at the panther.
"Because you don't deserve the title. You're fat, stupid, and clumsy. Everything the Dragon Warrior should be, you aren't." Rich tried pointing out all of Po's flaws. And when Po looked at the ground, the panther let out a laugh.
(START)
"You see! You even realize these things! You aren't a hero; you're a fool who has nothing but a dream! Give it up!" Rich sent out yet another monstrous laugh.
Po thought as his head hung, he was the biggest loser on earth. But then he remembered what he and Tigress had talked about the night before. He was through with all this… he was going to show this panther what he was really made of, and that he couldn't be torn down.
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
As Po's voice slowly came out of his mouth, the panther's eyes looked on menacingly.
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
Unknowingly, a certain tiger that had followed Po was now watching on from behind a shopping stall.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Tigress' eyes widened at the panda's amazing voice. She really admired him now for not instantly fighting back against the panther, like she would have done. He was taking the time to tell the panther how he feels. Besides that, she could feel herself becoming excited to hear him sing. Her fur stood on end and her heart rate increased.
Cut me down
But it's you who has further to fall
Ghost town, haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much
Po became to walk around the stupefied panther, still conveying his feelings.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Po let all his memories form his past of being bullied, flood into his mind.
I am titanium
Then he let go… He didn't let it bother him anymore. He wouldn't let it bother him.
I am titanium
Stone-heart, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-heart, loves bulletproof glass
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Tigress felt him let go of his past, and a small tear fell from her eye. She quickly wiped it away. She knew how he felt. She would always get picked on for looking the way she did and for having uncontrollable anger. She always hid her feelings from Shifu and her friends, but Po was finding them and letting them out.
I am titanium
Po finished and stood before the panther, who began to laugh.
"That's it? Singing? Your more pathetic than I thought!" Rich let out more roars of laughter, but then he noticed Po walking away.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"I don't need to listen to you, nothing you can say will hurt me." Po said with a smile.
"Maybe this will!" Rich said angrily and rushed at the panda, but before he could do anything to Po a female voice was yelling behind them. Tigress had seen where this was leading to, and decided it was time for her to step in. She knew that he could handle this on his own, but wanted a little revenge for hurting her friend in such a way.
"Who are you? "Rich looked up.
"A friend of Po's." Tigress stood close to the panda. "What's going on here?"
"I'm just showing this fatso some facts on why he shouldn't be the Dragon Warrior." Tigress' right eye had twitched a little when Rich said that. "Now we don't need his little 'girly' friend to get involved, so why don't you return to…"
Tigress and taken a hold of Rich's left wrist and held it behind his back in a painful position. Then she had slammed him into the ground, arm still behind his back.
"First off… Po isn't fat. His weight is handsome and makes him look attractive." Tigress didn't realize she had said what she had said in the middle of her escapade, this caused Po to blush behind her.
"Second… He deserves to be the Dragon Warrior as much as you deserve to be in the dump along side the other trash." Tigress growled and twisted Rich's wrist painfully, causing him to growl in pain.
"Lastly… Don't ever call me girly. I am most definitely not one of those bimbos that fall for your kind." Tigress tightened her grip on the squirming panther.
"And if I ever catch you harassing my panda again… I will personally see to your immediate destruction. Do you understand?" Tigress didn't get the response she was hoping for, so she again twisted the feline's arm even more. "Do you understand!?" This time the panther nodded his head.
Tigress finally felt satisfied and let him up, kicking him to get him moving faster. In seconds the scared panther was gone. Tigress turned to the panda that had watched and heard everything.
"So… you think I'm… attractive?" Po managed to ask after a few moments of staring at each other.
Suddenly Tigress realized what she had said during the whole ordeal. Her ears flattened against her head and her gaze fell to the ground. Her tail wrapped around her feet close to the ground and one paw rose to hold the other.
"I-I'm… I didn't… If you don't like that…. I'm sorry…" Tigress struggled to say, but she felt something lift her chin up. It was Po. He pulled her gaze up to his. Then he kissed her.
Po knew it was a gamble, but from what he just heard he knew his odds where pretty good on his side. Po put as much passion as he could into the kiss. She began to melt into the kiss, despite being shocked at first, and lean into his soft embrace. Po held on to her waist as they continued their kiss and Tigress wrapped her arms around his neck. Then she let her tongue brushed against his lips. Po was surprised but then accepted the gesture. After the two had enjoyed their dance of lust, they broke apart.
"Don't ever be sorry." Po said with heavy breaths.
"But what if I hurt you?" Tigress whimpered from his enveloping grip.
"I think you tried pretty well to hurt me when we first met." Po said joking and felt the tiger chuckle into his chest.
"I did. I'm just glad you stayed." Tigress said, pawing at his chest then she looked up and stared lovingly into his jade eyes. "If you ever fall, Po, I want to be the one to catch you."
"Fire away." Po smiled and gave his love another passionate kiss.
YAY! I really like this song, so I hope I wrote well enough to go with it. If you haven noticed yet that I don't update a whole lot, that's because I find myself to be much more of a reader than a writer. And I find it very important to me to make my works of art beautiful to the eye, so I try very hard to do so. AKA99 I hope you like it, as do the rest of you do also! Pleas R&R. Simba593 over and out!
