Chapter 8

- Guys and Confessions

Tigress sighed,

"Next!" the next guy walked in, each one of his steps filled with confidence... just like the other 7 guys; unfortunately for them, they weren't going to walk out like that. Tigress had now decided to sit down, the guy did too.

She had head resting on her left hand.

"So, let me guess, you think I'm perfect, or I'm beautiful and you always had eyes on me but were too shy to say something" She said tiredly, repeating what the other boys had told her. The guy just shook his head,

"No, I think you are beyond beautiful, and that we were meant for each other!' he said, trying to grab one of her paws, but Tigress yanked it away.

"Rigghtt. I'm not interested, so please leave" The guy started to protest but she didn't hear anything about it,

"Next!"

"how many others are left, 8 more. only 8 and"

"Oh Master Tigress! Good news! More men had lined up, you are a quite popular and lucky feline!" the matchmaker said with a huge smile on her face, then started to walk away.

'I don't feel lucky... more like, unfortunate' She thought. Shifu came and stayed to watch. Tigress just sighed, now she couldn't make them leave, she had to actually socialize with the guys. She shivered at the thought.

The next guy was a cheetah, he went, took the chair, and pulled it next to Tigress's so they were side by side. Tigress just raised her eyebrows.

"So what do you like to do?" She asked.

"I like exercising, and running. Also painting" Tigress nodded, pretending to be interested in his words, while he was talking about his exercising plans and stuff, Tigress was considering telling Shifu that she had someone else in mind. until she felt a hand touch her knee. Tigress immediately took the hand and bend it, almost twisting it,

"Touch anything else, and that will be the last thing you will feel, got it" She growled. The cheetah gulped and nodded. She let go of his hand, leaving a red mark. The cheetah just left after that, fearing that the tiger might do something else and hurt him.

Tigress could see that Shifu just shook his head at the distance. She knew it was rather hopeless to watch her with boys, why? Because she was not a girl who could be 'wowed' at first sight, she wasn't the kind of girl who could be won easily, she wasn't the kind of girl who would swoon over a guy who gave her chocolates or flowers or nicknames or

She sighed dreamily. Po came in with a nervous look on his face.

The goats weren't letting him enter the hall of warriors unless he was going to talk with Tigress. And so he said that he was there to win her over. The goats just shrugged, but nonetheless let him pass.

Now that he was inside, looking at the feline wearing that beautiful green dress, he was breathless. he took a seat in front of her, immediately feeling relief that she was still single, but he was also trembling on the inside since he thought that his legs were going to break if he stood anymore.

"Po, what are you doing here?" she asked happily (probably the only moment she smiled since this matchmaking session started), part of her hoping he was here to tell her he was interested in her. Of course, she knew there was another motive, but it was still nice dream about it.

"Tigress, I need to tell you something really important" He whispered. Tigress nodded and leaned closer, their noses inches away. But not with the intention of kissing or anything like that (even though Tigress would love to), but to exchange a secret just for them to know.

"What is it?" Tigress asked, trying not to get impatient.

"Well, i talked with the Soothsayer"

"And what did she told you!? Wait, why were you even there?"

"Doesn't matter, the point, she told me...um... the guy. I mean, the guy" Tigress widen her eyes realizing what Po was telling her,

"So who is it?!" She shouted, but cautious to keep her voice down to a whisper.

"Umm... how can I say this...it's ummm"

"Po, just tell me, how complicated can it be? It's just name"

"that's the thing... ok, first let me ask you something"

"Po, tell me" she said, now getting impatient,

"is quick! I promise, ok,so what if, hypothetically, it was... someone who you already know, and maybe are friends with, best friends with?" Po asked nervously, Tigress gave a light chuckle,

"Po, what kind of question is tha..." She stopped mid-question, and looked at him, Po just nodded and shrugged,

"Oh"

"Yeah"

"So, its you"

"Look Tigress, I know it might be awkward, but I didn't say it, it was the Soothsayer" He stopped and hesitated on what he was about to say "And I... I love you" He looked up and met her gaze, then his thoughts snapped, he was talking to the Master Tigress! He quickly covered his face,

"Pleasedon'thitme!" He said very quickly, waiting for the impact. But it never came. Tigress was still digesting the facts... Po... he was the one, it all just seemed too good to be true, and she didn't like to be fooled with.

"Po, do not joke around" She said firmly and a little bit roughly.

"I'm not joking, I really do love you and the Soothsayer really did told me that" he said, not letting his guard drop because that might be when she could strike.

Again, she did not move, her mind was having all sorts of flashbacks and memories, it was thinking 'Oh hey, this is a nice moment to remember everything we did to be mean to him!' Tigress gulped, her eyes focused again on the panda covering his face. She smirked, he really thought she was going to hit him.

She took his paws, and with the touch, the panda yelled, attracting the attention from the matchmakers and Shifu. Tigress shushed him and put a paw on his mouth, then once he quieted down, she rested her paw on his cheek.

"Po, calm down, I'm not going to rip you to shreds if that's what you are thinking" She said, soothing the panda. Po calmed down, but not fully, since he hadn't heard a reply from the feline,

'She probably will say that she just likes me as a friend' Po thought sadly.

"Po, I love you too...don't make a big deal out of it though, it doesn't mean I will be any softer on you" She said with a playful grin, but her eyes were saying that she was being serious. Po just nodded, the smell of her was entering his nostrils, intoxicating him, that's when he noticed they were still pretty close to each other, and without thinking, he leaned in and crashed his lips onto hers. Tigress widen her eyes but smiled; then kissed him back.

The matchmakers who were watching, started giggling and cheering, they could finally get away from the feline. However, a red panda was also watching... his ear twitching, and his eyes blinking repeatedly making sure this wasn't just an illusion. His breath was taken away so he just stood there watching the scene, too paralyzed to yell at them.

Po and Tigress broke apart, their cheeks still having red bushes on them.

"And Po"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks"

"For what? For loving you? For completing your life? For making you happy? For" Tigress laughed,

"I was going to say for getting me out of this matchmaking thing, but sure, that too" Tigress replied with a chuckle.

They both stood up and started to leave, hand in hand, but before fully disappearing, you could hear Tigress's voice "Oh and I have a boyfriend now, so you can all go now.. and do me a favor and never return" Then she kept walking with Po.

Po just laughed,

"What?" Tigress said, shoving him with her shoulder,

"Nothing" He said, his eyes pointing to where the matchmakers where, Tigress rolled her eyes,

"Oh shush" She then firmly pressed her lips on his, letting her cheeks be wrapped by his warm paws. She purred into the kiss, her tail swishing from one side to another, thinking that maybe Soothsayer and the future weren't so bad after all... not if they involved her panda at least.
