Oblivious
Awesome name for a chapter XD

Po rushed down the thousand steps and into the valley, pushing away the swarm of pigs and gooses that tried to follow him. He didn't mean to be rude, but there was one specific person he needed to talk to, and he didn't want to let anyone ruin it. He finally spotted who he was looking for and approached her as she put down a baby panda with the name Lei Lei.

''Hey, Tigress!''

''Oh hello Dragon worrier'' Tigress greeted when she saw him, bowing ever so slightly.

''Dude, seriously, I know its awesome but Stop calling me that. It´s just Po''

Tigress stifled (?) an annoying sigh, ''It´s disrespectful to call such a worthy master by his name..'' she mumbled, looking down at the small panda that was holding a do- ACTION FIGURE of her.

''so...what do you want?''

''I need to speak to you...'' Po said, looking around at all the animals surrounding them.

''Why?''

''Just please? I really need to talk to you!'' Tigress hesitated before replying, biting her lip in worry. Po had never really begged about something, and she believed that this was in fact important.

''Sure...?'' She sounded a bit confused with her answer.

''AWESOME! Meet me at the peach tree after dinner!'' Po said, thanking her and then he ran back to the jade palace.

''Stripey baby?'' The cubs voice brought her back from her thoughts. Tigress looked down at Lei Lei, making the small panda giggle.

Po was undeniably terrified of what was to come, as he sat down under the sacred tree. He stared at the sun down with gloomy eyes, still deep in

''Po?''

He flinched at the sudden voice, his head twisting to the left. He noticed Tigress standing besides him with an eye brow raised up high. ''What is it that you needed to speak to me about?''

Po gulped down the lump that was stuck in his throat, and he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

''Maybe you should have a seat... its kind of hard to say...'' He replied sheepishly, and she nodded.

Sitting down next to him, she looked out over the cliff. It was starting to get dark, and slowly stars begun shinning in the sky.

''So..?'' Tigress questioned, looking over at Po.

Face it Po! This is the real life! You only live once!

''I need help with ... something..'' He started, afraid to look at her. He felt her nod for him to continue,

and so he did.

'' I need help with... romance... i mean , you´re a girl, right? You probably know this..''

Silence.

Awkward silence.

''I.. I´m not sure... Why don´t you go ask Viper? She more girly than me...'' Tigress said, her voice cracking at the end.

''Yes, well no- maybe a bit.. BUT I seriously need help from you! No one else teaches me better except for you and my dad.'' He argumented back.

She groaned, knowing this was going to be hard ''Then go ask your dad''

''It´s not the same as asking you..''

''Whats the difference? Besides, he would understand more than me''

She felt Po tense, and then they were both completely silent.

Tigress sighed, standing up from under the tree. She looked over the cliff once again, this time taking in the view of the night stars glimmering in the sky.

''Im sorry, but i need help with it myself..'' She flatly said, not sure where it came from. But she knew that it was true. She had also been facing a few problems with romance.

''then…'' He paused ''Why don´t we help each other?'' Po suggested, his ears peering up at his idea. She looked at him, confused.

''Okey, so we tell each other what the problem is, who we like and why!'' He said with a smile on his face.

''Right… I don´t think i will p—''

''Oh come one Tigress!'' Po groaned out. ''Why don´t you ever have fun?''

She irritatedly breathed out ''Fine''

''Ok, so who´s gonna start?'' Po asked, looking at Tigress with his big, green eyes.

''not me..'' She replied

''Fine! So… My problem is that my crush doesn´t really notice me except for when i talk to her. She also sometimes seems to hate for who I am… And she seems to love kicking me around…'' Po started.

''Thats one rude crush you have…'' Tigress sated. Po nodded at her, still smiling.

''How about you?''

''Um.. well… my crush is very oblivious to the fact that… i like him… And he doesn´t like me back cause he already got someone in mind…'' Tigress finished. Her voice was filled with more emotion than ever, and her ears were laying against her head.

Po examined her closely, noticing that she has sat down next to him again.

''So why do you like him?'' He asked her.

Her ear twitched, not sure how to fully answer this question without spoiling who it is.

''Well… when i first meet him, he was a nobody for me… But when i got to know him better, i released that he was better than what he seems to be…He taught me much about life, and even brought a bit of fun in to it… what about you?''

Po took a deep breath before explaining to her. He chose his words as wisely as he could, just in case. ''Well… I´ve known her since i was a teenager… but i never really meet her until an accident happened… And all this time I've known her she had helped me out, A LOT. Even though i highly doubt she knew about it…''

''Wow… She sounds nice… Maybe i could meet her someday?'' Tigress said, smiling softly at Po. He nervously smiled back.

''So, what´s his name…?'' Po asked her, his patience running out. She frowned, looking away from Po.

''Why don´t you say first?'' She replied back at him. He blinked.

''Well, its because i asked first… And you know what they say. Ladies first'' He grinned, and she couldn´t help but let out a small laugh.

''How about we say it at the same time?'' She suggested. He thought about it for a moment, before simply nodding his head.

''on three, ok?''

'' one..'' Po started.

''Tw—'' Tigress began the word but was cut off

''I like you!'' Po shouted out loud, startling her. Her mouth was wide open and her eyes were the same.

''Wait what?''

''Hey! You said at the same time!'' Po said, whilst blushing madly. Her face soon softened, and she let out another laugh.

''Sorry Po, but its just that you need to count to three, not two..'' She informed him.

''Can you at least say who you like now?'' Po asked her, his eyes filled with hope on finding out.

''How about… No?'' She answered back, smirking at him as he pouted.

''Hey! Not fair!'' Po defended

''Oh i did? I don´t recall saying 'I will shout out my crushes name', do you?'' Tigress had him outsmarted, and he had no other choice than to give up.

''Fine.. You got me there.'' Po said, raising his arms in defeat.

They sat by the tree for a few more minutes, talking and laughing together. They never noticed how late it had gotten, and they could´ve continued on the whole night until Crane came to fetch them.

''Where were you guys? Its been 4 Hours AND 40 minutes! You two were gone for nearly 5 hours!'' Crane scolded them, and Po and Tigress couldn´t help but laugh at him.

''Sorry.. A ruff day, yanno?'' Po stated, getting up along with Tigress, who dusted off the dirt from her cloths. The three masters returned back to the barracks, only for Po and Tigress to get even more scolded by Shifu.

''Tigress?'' A voice snapped her out of her meditation the next morning. She opened one eye, noticing Po by the paper door. She raised an eye brow at him.

''Do you have a moment?'' He asked her. She sighed, before smiling softly at Po.

''Sure. What do you wan—''

''Could you please, please, please tell me who its is?'' Po cut her off. She rolled her eyes.

''Po. I already told you. But its just you. You´re just too oblivious'' She answered. ''Now if you'll excu—'' Her words stopped when she suddenly felt two arms around her, embracing her in a tight hug.

''Do you know how awesome you are?'' Po asked out of the blue. She smiled widely before huggung back.

''Nah… Im too oblivious to notice it.''
