Chap. 9-Two Worlds Collide/Broken

Po told tigress her story, about how she was an orphan, who was adopted by master Shifu. About how out of the whole five she was the best out there. About how, before, she was a role model for children out there. "You make me sound like some sort of hero." She said once.

"You are a hero, but it wasn't just fighting that made you amazing. But you did have some weak spots." He continued and told her about how much she disliked him, when he was chosen dragon warrior and not her. He explained how she disobeyed her master's orders and went against Tai Lung, and sadly lost. How, he had defeated Tai lung, finally earning her respect. How, she soon got used to him and they became close friends. How they rescued the others when they were kidnapped by Tai Lung again. (A/N: If you haven't played Kung Fu Panda: Legendary Warriors, you won't understand).

"Wow." She said when he finally finished.

"Yeah, funny how we did a mission without beating ourselves up…"

"No, not that!" she laughed then looked at him. "Po, I'm sorry if I was ever mean to you in any way…"

"Oh, forget about it, I know how it feels to get your dreams taken away from you, trust me…"

"So we're cool?"

"Ice cold." They bumped fists.

"So, I guess this is what happens when two worlds collide."

"What?" he looked at her, confused.

"You know, I mean, look at us…we are, from what you've told me, polar opposites. We've come miles apart from each other, our lives and ways come from different worlds, but we, together, when we act as one, it's like a whole new world…I didn't know how weird that sounded until I spoke it." She laughed.

"Tigress?"

"Yeah?"

"Umm…promise me that you'll never change. Promise me that you won't ever forget me…no matter how hard things may seem that you won't forget all the fun we had together."

"Do you have to ask? I would never forget you. You'll always be right here," she pointed to her heart, "with me. Why? What's wrong?"

Po remained quiet for a while. "C'mon, you know you can tell me anything, Right?"

Po couldn't look at her. The pain was too great. "Tigress…"

"Yeah…" she was getting anxious.

"I-I…" he breathed in and out once; he turned and looked her in the eyes, "I can't be your friend anymore." His voice cracked. His eyes were becoming a bit watery but he fought them back, something he was forced to learn how to do ever since he was little.

"What?" she was shocked, in disbelief, she couldn't believe her ears. Did he just say that? "Why?" she was on the verge of tears.

"I'm…I'm getting married." He looked at the valley and now spoke without looking at her. "It turns out that it's the duty for the dragon warrior to do what's best for his people. The valley is in trouble, the government is in an economic slump, and the only way to save it is to marry the emperor's daughter. She's sort of…in love with me. This is the only way to save the valley from getting displaced from their homes by the emperor's rule. I don't have a choice."

"What?"

"It has already been decided. When I told her about you…she said…Muang told me to tell you this or it'll be much worse." Tigress then realized who it was that he was marrying. It was the eldest daughter of the emperor; she noticed the way she fought for his attention the day they visited once for 'important businesses'. Now she knows why.

"Po…how could you?"

"How could I? How could I!? Tigress! You, out of all people I thought you would understand!" They both stood up, staring at each other, not dropping their gaze.

"I understand alright! I just don't understand why you would choose her over your 'best friend'!"

"I don't have a choice!"

"You always had a choice!" she paused then spoke again. "Everything, you do in life, gives you a choice! What are you going to do now, huh? She's not real! She doesn't love you! And when she says, 'I always loved you, and always will', she means 'I don't love you, and never have.' She's not real, Po! I'm real!"

"Sorry Tigress, but I can't stay. I have to go to her…"

"So you're just going to leave, just like that? What about the others?" she turned away, heartbroken.

"I'm not leaving until next week…"

"Tradition says she come here." She stated coldly, while turning back around.

"American-styled wedding with some Chinese tradi—"

"Then go." She turned her back again, arms crossed over her chest. Her eyes were shut tight.

"Tigress-"

"Good-bye Po! Get out of here!" she said with her back still turned. How could she have been so blind? This explained so much.

Po kept his distance, he was heartbroken too. "Take care Tigress…" he said and left.

Tigress just stood there, suddenly dropping on her knees, and cried. She had a lot to cry about.


Tigress' P.O.V.

I can't believe this. That stupid sonofabitch is going to steal my best friend…is that all we'll ever be? This is hopeless. Now I know why he wanted me to promise. He wants me to remember him while he's busy doing 'bed business' with that stupid, ugly, he-she, marijuana-smoking-cold-hard-bitch, who happens to be rich and pretty. I hate this! I wish I could forget this! Forget everything! Forget kung fu, forget the valley of peace, forget…po…the one I lo-no. I can't. He's with that he-she witch. But, it's not like he wants to. Whatever, he's going to enjoy it anyway. I should have never attached to him. I…I don't even have an excuse to not love him for crying out loud! Why po? Why me?

Po's P.O.V.

This is insane! Out of all people…I thought she would understand! The only reason I did this was for her! Screw the valley for all I care…okay, maybe just a bit, but I did it mostly for us! She could have killed her if I didn't! Maybe I should have mentioned this first… God, why am I such a loser? I just wish that butt hole, would- did I just say butt hole? I meant asshole. See! I can't even think straight with her being mad at me, I'm all discombobulated. Whatever, Muang can burn in hell, dying slowly, being consumed by the fire while the dude with the horns looks at her laughing like there's no tomorrow and sitting on something cool, and she's like, 'No! I wanna live! I wanna live! I…WANT…TO…LIVE!!' Yeah…I really need some help…

Back to the narrator

Shifu witnessed from above the Jade Palace. He knew Po would have to tell her sooner or later, but this is just sad. "Master Oogway, I hope you know what you're doing up there, because things don't look too good down here…"


Things don't look too good! But, it'll get better...I hope.

If you wanna know....Please, guys, from the bottom of my heart, please...REVIEW! Thanks, your awesome! Happy Holidays!
