I'm back and finding it very easy to fit my writing into my schedule, witch I am happy about. Though this song is about betrayal, I was asked to make it into a romance… Challenge Accepted. Haha, so this will be about Tigress being insulted, and Po comes to her aid. Any more and I give away the plot, now that can't happen can it? (Start) will signify the start of the song, so join along!

Tigress had been dating a male tiger she had just recently met while searching for her family's lost village.

(A/N: Though I truly believe that Tigress would never date someone she just met or anyone that isn't Po , I am willing to set my beliefs to the side so that I can make a kick ass story.)

Everyone at the Jade Palace was very surprised when Tigress came back from her month-long trip to find her origins, holding the hand of Chou. Everyone never thought of Tigress of feeling love, especially Master Shifu, who initially said no to the whole thing. However after some pleading from the tiger master herself, his mind was changed. But one master still wished that Shifu would have stuck to his "no".

Po was very upset on the inside when Tigress came back with another male, though he wouldn't show it on the outside. That night he silently cried himself to sleep, wishing that it was him that was holding her hand.

Time moved on and days turned into weeks, Po eventually got used to Chou being around and accepted their relationship. Even after he accepted the fact that she would never love him, they still acted like best friends. They still trained and hung out together, but when ever Tigress talked about Chou, Po would grow quiet and just listen. They were still inseparable best friends, though one would run off with someone else, leaving the other one alone. Who would ever love a fat panda like him?

Even if Po's heart ached to be with her, he never tried to harm Tigress and Chou's relationship. Every time the two kissed, his heart would break even more and he wouldn't be able to stay in the same room they were in. Oddly enough, Po was glad for her, all he ever wanted was for her to be happy. The old saying stood true, 'If you love them let them go.', only if Po realized how often those 'loved' come back.

Tigress was always excited to be with Chou, they went out to dinner almost all the time and he always strived to meet her expectations. The only problem is that he would push the line almost too often and didn't know where to stop, this nearly pushed Tigress over the top often. Though he wasn't Kung-Fu trained, he was considered 'handsome' for his species. She had always known that Po had liked her, but she didn't want to screw up the friendship they had; she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she screwed up her friendship with him. So to avoid any danger of screwing it up, she found someone else. He was her species and of her home town, he was her match right? He loved her and was always there for her, so she had to love him back right?

Truth is she had hoped that Po would have taken the first step, so that she wouldn't have to worry about hurting anything. Then Chou came along and swept her off her feet. Tigress gave up on Po and followed Chou, strange, she never did see herself following anyone. That was before Po broke down the walls… there was that name again. Po. Did she really make a mistake? Eh, it would show itself if she did.

One day, during training, Chou showed up while Po and Tigress were in a sparring match. Chou didn't wait for the match to be over to butt in, he simply walked up into the middle of it stopping both panda and tigress in the process.

"Chou! What are you doing?", Tigress snapped.

"What? Not like you were doing anything important.", Chou retorted earning a growl from Tigress.

"We were in the middle of a spar.", Tigress said trying to cool herself.

"Like I said, Tiger Lilly, nothing important.", Chou grinned.

"You know, you can really be obnoxious", Tigress grabbed her brow in frustration. "And I thought I told you I don't like it when you use that nickname."

"Tigress are we done or…?", Po came up to the two, quietly raging because Chou interrupted his time with her.

"Sorry Po, yeah we are done and thanks for the spar.", Tigress told him smiling sweetly.

"Yeah… no problem.", Po returned a fake smile and walked away still fuming.

"Anyway… I came here hoping you'd want to go to dinner tonight.", Chou asked.

"Sure, I'd love to.", Said Tigress as she put away some training equipment, thinking he had remembered her birthday.

LATER THAT NIGHT

The two sat down at a table at a fancy restaurant, all dressed up and nice looking. They started some small talk as they waited for their food, Chou being slightly obnoxious, as usual. Finally their food had arrived and then Chou brought up a touchy subject.

"You know Tigress, I'm still not liking this 'friendship' thing with Po. I really still believe that you nee to stop being friends with him.", said Chou.

"Chou, we have been over this… I'm not going to stop my friendship with him just because you think something is going on between him and I", Tigress said, doing her best to ignore him.

"I'm not talking about it anymore, I demand it.", Chou put his fork down.

"And I'm not going to do that.", Tigress put her fist down shutting him up immediately

Tigress was getting heated and she didn't care if others in the restaurant were looking at her.

"Oh, and I was talking with my buddies today and we agreed that Kung-fu was sort of guy-ish."

"Really? You and your numbskull friends came up with that?", Tigress asked with a surprised face.

"Yeah we were thinking that you should quit that and learn some real women stuff, like cooking or sewing."

No… I don't think so.", said Tigress trying to keep her composure.

There he was, pushing the line again.

Tigress tried to change the subject. "You know, today is special, remember?"

"Oh yeah! That means I am going to get some!", Chou practically shouted.

And that line snapped.

"ABSOULTEY NOT!", Tigress roared as she stood up from the table. "I had told you that nothing like that was going to happen until I am married, I will not be quitting Kung-fu for house work, and I will not be getting rid of my friendship with Po! And worst of all you forgot my BIRTHDAY!", Tigress having finished her rant threw the napkin on the table and said, "Do not show your face at the Jade Palace again."

Chou just sunk into his chair trying to avoid the eyes starring him down, as he watched Tigress walk out.

Tigress made it out of the restaurant without a problem, but as soon as she made it outside her tears began to flow freely. She ran back to the Jade Palace, tears matting her fur.

(Start)

It started to slowly rain as Tigress ran home. And Instead of going into her room she climbed to the top of the training hall on the roof. The rain was still coming down as she sat with her face in her hands, silently sobbing. Then it happened…

(Tigress): Skies are crying, I am watching

Catching teardrops in my hands

Only silence, has it's ending, like we never had a chance.

Do you have to make me feel like, there's nothing left of me?You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Po woke up from his sleep,

(Tigress): Like I'm made of paper

And he followed the sound of the voice he heard.

(Tigress): Go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

'Where is that beautiful voice coming from?', he thought.(Tigress): As the smoke clears, I awaken and untangle you from me

(Tigress): Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed

All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet

You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Po looked up and out a window, barely recognizing who it was.

(Tigress): Like I'm made of paper

Po turned on his heels and ran to grab a towel.

(Tigress): Go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraperGo run, run, run I'm gonna stay right here, watch you disappear

Go run, run, run yeah it's a long way down, but I'm closer to the clouds up hereYou can take everything I have, you can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass, like I'm made of paperGo on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

Tigress finished he song and sat down, realizing she was soaked head to toe.

"Tigress, down here!"

Tigress looked over the edge to see who she heard, not realizing how slippery it was and fell off the roof. She waited for the ground and mud to come, but it never came. She felt a pair of fluffy arms catch her, she opened her eyes to see a pair of jade eyes looking down at her.

"Wow Tigress, your soaked.", said Po in shock, Tigress said nothing back as she continued to look into his eyes.

"Good thing I brought one of these.", Po set her down inside the training hall and covered her up with the towel he brought. Tigress remained silent and just cuddled into the towel.

"What were you doing up there?", said Po and he sat down next to her. Tigress snapped out of her trance and clung onto Po, burring her head into his neck.

"Oh Po... it was awful. He wanted me to stop being friends with you, and wanted me to stop Kung-fu too. Then he thought we were going to mate.", Tigress began to cry again as she tightened her hold on Po.

Po felt so bad for her, she looked so hurt. He picked up the end of the towel around Tigress and wiped the water off the top of her head. Tigress lifted her head up from his neck and he continued to wipe her face free of water, also wiping the tears away.

"Why would he do this to you on your birthday?", Po said, still wiping her face off.

"You r-remembered?", Tigress grabbed his hand and pulled it out of the way, so that she could see him clearly.

"Well y-yeah. Who could forget?", Po said flustered that she was still holding onto his hand.

Tigress instantly realized she had made a huge mistake coming back with Chou. She should have chased Po to the end of the world, and she knew she would now.

"Why wha-mphh…", was all he could say as Tigress forced her lips onto Po's. It took Po a few seconds to realize what was happening, but was soon kissing back. The passion soon kicked in as Po allowed Tigress's tongue into his mouth, and a battle of passion was soon wagging. Tigress never felt this much passion when she was with Chou.

Tigress broke for air first and laid her head on his chest, purring. Purring, again, something she had never done with Chou.

Po was still blushing. His love of his life had just kissed him, a passionate on at that. And now she was laying on his chest, purring. Then Po thought of something.

"So, can I call you Tiger Lilly?", Po asked with a small chuckle.

Tigress smiled for a moment then spoke, "You're the only one who can."

Woot! And another one bite's the dust. I don't know if you caught the 'Tiger Lilly' thing at the beginning and end, If you did: Kudos. If not: Reread! Lol LexasTexas2000, I hope you liked it :] Stay Frosty!
