Author's note:
Hey I'm back! Anyway, here is the next chapter…
ENJOY!
Chapter 10
Song was still standing outside the door. She was beyond mad. She couldn't believe that Tigress was seriously still holding on to the hope that Po loved her back. That was just childish in her opinion.
But what was making up a great part of her anger was Po. He was looking at Tigress not her. He broke the kiss when he saw Tigress, something that he was not supposed to do. He was caring more about that warrior than her.
She stomped to the kitchen, where her boyfriend was cooking for her. At least they were still a couple, but the way this was going, Po was most likely going to realize that he loved Tigress, meaning he was going to break up with her. And she was not going to let that happen.
Two days after…
Tigress told Crane about what happened, and like she expected, he smiled to the news. But what made Tigress happier, is that Po was beginning to spend more time with her. He usually invited her to eat something, of course, just as friends. They were back to how it was before the annoying Song arrived. While this was good news to Tigress and Crane, Song wasn't so happy about it. Po started spending less time with her. Canceling their dates, and having less time alone with her.
Po also used to do small romantic details for her. But now he had stopped doing, now he was getting that kind of stuff for Tigress. He was giving her from special dumplings to flowers.
This turned of events not only affected the two felines, but also the panda.
He wasn't sure why he was acting that way towards Tigress. But once he saw her smile, he wanted to keep it there, no matter what he had to do. He thought that his crush on Tigress was gone, but apparently it wasn't. It had just gotten stronger. He was realizing that she was the only girl for him. That Song wasn't for him, that even though she was nice, and kind, she wasn't Tigress. And he couldn't compare her to Tigress.
He tried just hiding his feelings for Tigress again, but this time it didn't work, they kept coming back up. So he started spending time with her, not noticing that he was ignoring Song. It looked like Tigress was his girlfriend and not Song.
Whenever he was with Tigress, he felt complete, with Song, he felt normal and comfortable. But even after this, he hadn't broken up with Song, and to be honest, he didn't know if he should.
With Tigress and Crane (Who were on the kitchen)…
They were both eating, the rest, besides Po and Song, were out in the village and for what they heard, Song and Po were having a date over at… well, they forgot.
Tigress was eating some tofu cubes, but she was frowning. It seemed that something was bothering her.
"So what's wrong now?" Crane asked.
"It's Po and Song" She responded. Craned raised his eyebrow.
"What about them?" He asked, he thought that Tigress had gotten over the fact that they were still dating, or at least enough so that it didn't affected her like it initially did.
"Well, you know how Po has been spending time with me, right?" Crane nodded.
"And less time with Song" Again, he nodded, wondering where this was going.
"What if Song is right, he will never love me? And he is just leading me on and on, and I'm here, still believing" Tigress said, resting her head in her paws. It was the first time she actually thought about that possibility, and it made her sad that maybe it was true.
Crane seemed hesitant about what he should do, or say. He didn't know if he was supposed comfort her, or just be straight honest with her and tell her that it might be possible Po just saw her as a friend.
"Well, that is kind of hard to guess. But I'm sure that Po wouldn't do something like that. I could ask him though, ask him what is going on with him and Song, or with you, if you want" Crane said, hoping that Tigress would say that it was fine. But it didn't happen.
"Yeah, Po wouldn't do that. But just on case, could you ask him?" She said, her face getting light up again. Crane frowned, but then looked at Tigress. He had never seen Tigress like that. Besides, Tigress has never fallen in love, and it could be a million years if she ever does again if this doesn't work out. So he sighed and gave in.
"Yes, I will… however, he might not want to tell me, but I will try" Tigress smiled and stood up.
"Thanks" She then exit the kitchen and went to the Peach tree.
After she left, Crane was still standing there. It wasn't long until Po came in, hungry and with a desire to steal Monkey's cookies.
"Oh, hey Crane, didn't see you there" Po said nervously.
"Po, were you going to eat Monkey's cookies?" Crane asked with a grin on his face.
"Of course not! I would never do… yeah" He finally said, dropping the act. Crane let him pass and grab the cookies, telling him how he was not going to tell Monkey about it. Once they were both having a conversation, Crane decided it was time to bring up the topic.
"Hey, so I been noticing that you are hanging out with Tigress and not… Song" He casually said. Po shifted and started to bite his cookies more quickly.
"I... well… You…" Po stuttered.
"I just want to know something, do you love her, because if you don't, then you should stop making her believe that she has a chance with you and tell her" Crane said, his voice was now serious since he cared about Tigress. Po was there, shocked about what Crane just said, mostly because he knew that he would never do something like that to Tigress, and it was hard to believe that Crane didn't already know that.
"I wouldn't do that, and I think I'm in love with her. But I don't want to risk my relationship with Song. I would if I knew that she loved me back" Po explained.
"Are you seriously asking if she loves you!?" Crane said, increasing the volume of his voice, he thought that it was pretty clear. Po stumbled back.
"She loves you Po, she really does" He finally said, calming down.
"I want her to tell me, or to do something that shows it, not just being told"
"She has been trying to tell you, but she stopped since she thinks you are happy with Song. But in that case, why don't you ask her?" Crane told him. Po was hesitant.
"I will think of a way, because I don't want to directly ask her" He responded. Crane nodded and then went to his room.
Po stood in the kitchen for a couple more minutes, thinking about what he could do without Song knowing. But she already knew, for she was listening to their conversation.
It seems my 'boyfriend' likes her, now I just have to wait to see what he does to find if Tigress likes him back…. And 'change' her answer.
She smiled and walked off.
Next day….
Po knew what he was going to do.
The gong rang and everyone woke up and greeted their Master. With the exception of Song, since she wasn't an official student, then she could wake up at any time she wanted, and she didn't have to actually greet Master Shifu, she still did it though, just to be polite.
After getting the instructions from Shifu, everyone started heading to the kitchen, so they could eat breakfast before training.
Everyone started to get out the barracks, Po pretended to be behind them but he stayed at the barracks, no one noticed though. Except Song, but she pretended that she was following the rest. However, she hide by the entrance of the dormitories to see what Po was up to.
Po took a note out of his pocket and opened Tigress's door and entered her room.
Mmm, I wonder what does the note says. Song thoughts.
After a couple of seconds, Po came out of the feline's room without the note, he looked a little bit anxious but also relieved. Song came out of her hiding spot and went to him.
"Hey, what were you doing?" She asked, holding his arm, startling the panda.
"Oh Song! I…how long where you here?" He asked nervously.
"Not much, I just got here" She said with her sweet innocent voice. Po smiled at her, he didn't know she was lying. All of a sudden, Tigress showed up.
"Sorry for interrupting" She said, looking at both of them, "but the guys are getting in a bad mood, they were wondering if you are going to take any longer" She said, her eyes shifting to Po. In the background, you could hear Mantis and Monkey arguing and Viper trying to calm them down.
"Oh right, let's go" He made a motion, which made Song let go of his arm. Tigress smiled and went walking to the kitchen.
"Po, I forgot something, I will catch up to you" She said, waving goodbye to them. She didn't like leaving Tigress and Po alone, but she really needed to see what Po wrote her.
Once she saw that both of them disappeared into the hallway, she snuck on Tigress's room. She really needed to be careful, if she got caught, she would have to face a really, really mad feline.
She was looking at the floor, cautious to not step into anything. She looked around to see where the note was, it wasn't hard to find since her room wasn't really decorated or anything.
The note was on her bed, she grabbed it and opened it. She started reading it.
Tigress, I know we have been friends for a long time, but I just want you to know that I love you. I hope we can be friends if you don't feel the same way, just tell me, ok?
Thanks.
-Love, Po.
She read it over and over. She couldn't believe that Po loved her! She was mad, but she knew that Po was still technically her boyfriend, even if he did love someone else. And that someone else loved him back.
An evil smirk appeared across her face. What if that person, Tigress, didn't love him back?
She looked around and found a piece of paper. She then looked to see if she could find a brush and ink. Luckily she opened one drawer and found exactly what she needed. She started to write in the piece of paper. After she read it over to make sure she didn't wrote anything not-Tigress-like, she signed it.
-Tigress
She smiled and went out of Tigress's room, making sure she returned everything to the place where it was. After making sure everything was fine, and there was no evidence she had been there, she went over to Po's room.
She put the note over at his bed. She walked out and went to join the rest for breakfast. Excited to see how Po and the hardcore master were going to react, Mostly Tigress, since she wasn't aware of anything; which only made Song more excited.
Well that's it for this chapter!
TiPo me: What did Song wrote!?
Normal Me: You are going to see in the next chapter!
TiPo me: If you weren't the one writing this story, you would be dead.
Normal Me: ….. Please review… and hopefully I will see you in the next chapter.
-Peace out :)
