Teen Times Ch. 10: El Oh Vee Ee, Love

A new chapter, and sorry for not updating the story, i was just getting my mind to rest for a while.

Tigress reached the top of the steps to be greeted by Master Shifu.

"Tigress, where have you've been? It's almost dark out." Shifu asked.

"Oh I was just... getting something I forgot at school. " Tigress replied hoping Master Shifu would buy it.

"And what is this 'something' you forgot?" Master Shifu asked.

'Uh oh.' Tigress thought as she was thinking of an excuse. "Oh um... I forgot... a scroll." Tigress said.

"Hmmm... alright, get to the kitchen and have some dinner. This weekend, we would be training for the whole day." Shifu said.

"Yes Master." Tigress bowed and went to the barracks while keeping an eye on her pouch since she didn't want the figure to fall or be seen by anyone.

When she got in her room, she closed the door shut and placed the pouch on a small table. She took out the wooden figure and examined it again.

'He really is a fine craftsman. How many days did he took to make this?' Tigress wondered, 'And why was it only me that was made first?'

Then her thoughts were interrupted when a knock came from her door.

"Uh...who is it?" Tigress asked as she quickly placed the figure in her pouch and threw the pouch below her bed.

"It's me, Viper." Viper replied.

"Come in." Tigress said.

"Hey Tigress, dinner's ready and can I talk to you about something?" Viper said as she entered.

"Sure, what is it about?" Tigress replied trying to be calm as possible.

"Well, it's about something I've noticed about you." Viper said.

"Uh...okay." Tigress said as she got a little anxious.

"Well, I noticed you kinda act different with the panda around." Viper said as she raised an eyebrow.

"W-What do you mean?" Tigress asked.

"You were the one who wanted to help him most of the time and you kinda become soft when you're near him." Viper said.

"What's wrong with helping a friend? And I don't become soft when I'm around him." Tigress replied.

"I don't know, I think you have a crush on him don't you?" Viper said making Tigress go near her.

"I do not love that panda!" She growled.

"I never said you're in love with him, I just said crush." Viper said with a sly grin.

"So? It's the same thing." Tigress replied.

"No it isn't." Viper countered, "But now I believe you that you don't have a crush on him."

"Good, now you can go." Tigress said as she went near her bed.

"But you're in love with him." Viper added making Tigress freeze.

"I said I don't love that panda!" Tigress growled as she stomped her foot.

"Are you sure? We could do this all night if we have to." Viper said.

Tigress, knowing she can't win the conversation, gave a sigh of defeat. "I am not in love with that panda, but I do feel weird around him." Tigress said as she sat down on her bed.

"That's love Tigress." Viper said.

"No it isn't!" Tigress said as she stomped the floor again. Then a scroll from her pouch rolled out from under the bed.

"Tigress? Why is there a scroll under your bed? What's under there anyways?" Viper asked as she tried to look under the bed.

"Uh what? What scroll? There's nothing under my bed." Tigress said as she dropped down to cover the bottom of the bed.

"Come on Tigress, just let me see." Viper insisted.

"Alright." Tigress sighed as she moved to reveal her pouch. She grabbed her pouch and took out the action figure.

"Where did you find that figure Tigress? It looks like you." Viper wondered as she looked at the figure.

"Actually, Po made this, and I kinda of took it from his windowsill when he didn't look. You gotta admit, he can carve like a craftsman could." Tigress replied.

"You stole from Po?" Viper asked, shocked.

"Well, it isn't really stealing, it's just...um... borrowing without permission." Tigress said as she got a little nervous. Viper just rolled her eyes then a smile came to her face.

"That settles it, you do love Po." Viper said making Tigress look at her with a glare.

"I said that I am not in love with him." Tigress snarled.

"Then why did you take that then?" Viper asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Well...um...it's just...uh...the figure..." Tigress said trying to find an excuse.

"Come on Tigress, just admit it, you're in love with him." Viper interrupted.

"No I am not." Tigress said.

"Okay, but sooner or later you will realize that." Viper said as she went out of the room and went to the kitchen.

Tigress watched her friend leave then looked at the action figure in her paw. "I'm not in love with that panda, why do they think I am?" Tigress said as she threw the figure under her bed and went out.

With Po...

"At last! I'm finished!" Po said as he placed the duplicate Tigress action figure on the windowsill. He stepped a few steps back to admire his work. On the windowsill was five wooden figures of the Furious Five all in their own Kung Fu pose.

"May not be the real thing but it will do." Po said as he wiped some paint of his face. "Now to let them dry." Po said then heard his stomach grumble.

"How about I get something to eat while waiting." Po said as he went downstairs and ate dinner. When he got downstairs, his dad saw him with a bunch of paint splatters on his fur.

"Po? What were you doing up there? You're all dirty." Mr. Ping asked.

"Oh, um...homework." Po lied.

"Why does it involve paint?" Mr. Ping asked.

"Um...it's for art class." Po replied.

"Oh, well go clean yourself up before having dinner." Mr. Ping said as he began to chop some vegetables.

"Alright dad." Po said as he went to the back and washed the paint away. Then he went back in and sat on a chair to wait for dinner. When the food was served, he dug right in since he was very hungry. While eating, he was wondering on where the first Tigress figure go. He thought it must've fell outside and he would find it later. Then after dinner, he went to the alley to find the figure.

"Where is it?" Po make himself as he searched around. After searching for a couple of minutes, his dad called out to him.

"Po! Son? It's getting late, come inside!" Mr. Ping yelled

"Coming dad!" Po yelled back but his eye caught something on the ground. No, it wasn't the action figure, but instead, it was a tile that should be on the roof. Po saw this and went near it. There were a couple more nearby and it looked like someone was on the roof making the tiles slide down.

"Why would someone be on the roof?" Po asked himself then he realized something. "Someone stole the action figure!" Po said as he threw the tile to the ground, "But why would someone steal something like that? I mean it's just an action figure!"

"Po! Hurry up, it's almost time for everyone to go to bed!" Po heard his dad.

"Coming!" Po said as he ran back to the noodle shop. But he was still thinking on who could've steal something like a wooden figure.

Done, now to work on the next Chap.
