Training ended just after midday as normal, leaving everyone to their free time, and more specifically- two male warriors were given the time and means to set up the romantic dates they so desperately needed.

The furious five and the dragon warrior were exiting the hall of heroes, when Po approached Tigress casually to tell her something.

"Hey Ti, can I talk to you?"

"Of coarse Po, what is it?"
Tigress was sincere, and also a little down. She had been trying this whole time to impress Po, to show him she loved him back. But now, he had made his first move in months when he put his paw on her leg, and she made a big deal out of it.

One step forward two steps back.

"I was wondering if you were going anywhere today?"

What kind of question is that, this man of mine...
Tigress didn't understand the logic behind the question, but whatever was going on- it couldn't hurt.

"No Po, I'm not going anywhere today. I plan to meditate, and get a little reading done if theirs time."

"Alright Tigress, that's good. Later today, I'll need your help with something- so it's good that you'll be around."

Thank the gods for a little privacy while I read!

"Alright Po, I'll help you with whatever you need."

"Thanks Ti!"
Po sounded happy at first, but then realized he had forgotten one last thing, and this last thing was of dire importance in his mind. How did I forget this?

"Oh and Tigress, I'm sorry about breakfast this morning, I shouldn't have done that. It was wrong of me, sorry."

Po walked away now, leaving Tigress with the apologies weight bearing down on her shoulders.

What was she to do? It's not that she didn't want Po to do that, it's that she did want him to do that, but surprise took advantage of her.

"I can't believe he apologized- he did something right, and because of me, he thinks it was wrong..."
Tigress felt so helpless.
"I had been trying advances on him- and now that he tried one on me, I force him away!"

"Later when he comes to get me for help, I'll have to correct this."

WITH PO

"Ok, so things I need to set up a romantic dinner, let's see..."

Po was entering the village square now where many storefronts and carts were set up, selling winter festival related wares.
The snow covering was light, but many believed a heavy snow would be arriving in accordance with the festivals beginning.

"I think I'll do something sensual, something to bring us together!" Thought Po, having the best and most practical idea he had had in months.

Po traveled from booth to booth, store to store, and cart to cart, purchasing things like winter flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables, spices and herbs, even a table cloth.

Po had a grand vision in his mind of what he wanted that night to look like, and nothing could challenge the dream Po had stored up in his mind.

"Tonight's going to be perfect, finally a way to connect with her, to show her I really do care, mostly to say I'm sorry about pushing her away so much."

Po was saddened at the though of this, he was so worried about slipping; revealing his intention to propose that he literally avoided her.

"We're coming in on it now though- the home stretch!"
Po kicked the air in front of him, taking a pose like he was preparing for a battle.

WITH TIGRESS

Po had been gone for a few minutes now, she watched him walk through the palace gates, descending the first few steps until he was out of sight.
Crane and Viper had parted ways from their conversation a short while ago. Crane had headed out the gate, and Viper was in the barracks.

Po shouldn't be back for at least a half hour, so I think I'll catch up on my reading- have something new to dish out on Po tonight, hopefully special.

Tigress entered the barracks, traveling to not her room, but to Po's room.
He'd never guess I'd have something of mine hidden in here.

Yes, you read correctly. All along- Tigress had been hiding her self help book in Po's room.

She reached up, elongating her feline body. Tigress was standing on Po's bed, in order to be closer to the ceiling.

The book sat carefully placed on top of a wooden beam, that beam was wide enough to conceal the books width, and tall enough to conceal the books height.
Tigress had thought of putting the book in her room, but if someone found it...

She could claim it wasn't hers, that it was written for males, but the odds would be stacked against her. Everyone would see she was surprised and nervous- the jig would be up.

But in Po's room, they'd believe it was his for sure if someone found it. Po would react poorly, being nervous and dumbfounded. Tigress would be the last suspect. Po would likely try and pin it on Crane or someone else.

She grabbed the book, shuffling it to one side so that it would fall off the beam, and land in her paws.

Just a little more...

The book inched to the right, slowly beginning to tilt...

Butterfingers.

The book slipped through Tigress' digits, and without her claws elongated, she wouldn't be able to grab it in time.

Watching it fall felt like slow motion to her, she knew Viper would here the crash, and be over here instantly.

Tigress had to think of a plan, fast.

The book moved closer and closer to the floor, its covers spreading open and the pages flopping about.

Finally, the torture was over, the book hit the floor with a loud thump. Its covers spread open, facing up, with the poor, innocent, off white pages kissing the floor.

Tigress bent down quickly, grabbing the book and some of Po's belongings.
In a flash, she lightly placed one of Po's things on the floor. Ironically, it was the Tigress action figure.

She didn't stop to look at it, but it was cute he kept this, even after they were friends.

Tigress leapt out of the room, crouching down, and springing up, forcing Po's balcony door open, as she flew out to the garden below.

The door to Po's room opened slowly.

"Tigress! What are you doing over there! Po would flip out if he knew about this!"

The tiger master was standing below Po's balcony with her eyes clenched shut, the book was placed vertically in her waistband, and her paw was pressed heavily over her mouth, trying desperately to keep quiet.

How did she know it was me?

Viper slithered across Po's floor, picking up the Tigress action figure, and putting it where it belonged. She then continued over to the balcony. To confront the culprit.

Viper reached out, closing the balcony door, cursing the wind.

"Good thing Po will never know you fell on the floor Tigress, he'd go crazy."

Viper continued out of Po's room, closing the door behind her, as she returned back to her room.

Viper was talking to my action figure? Now that's messed up.

Tigress had thought she was caught, instead, it was a toy version of her. So strange.

She walked on, following the slick garden path around to the front of the barracks.

Inside the palace, adjacent Shifu's bed chamber, was a separate room. It could be converted to a guest room but was usually set up as an office, as it was now.

Tigress walked inside, moving the wooden privacy shade to its original closed pose.

No one will suspect I'm in here.

Tigress sat down at the grand masters desk, it seemed to hold its own sort of power and prowess. Just the desk.

Tigress hoped to one day have a desk like this, with students of her own. Maybe even cubs of her own.

Tigress leaned back in Shifu's chair. Placed her feet on the desk and read.

Physical Love: When, Why, Where.

Physical! A word tigress truly needed to see, plus love. This combination seemed to perfectly describe the solution to her problems.

Sometimes when push comes to shove, you need to lay down and just have fun! There's never been a more private moment in a couples life- other then this! Love making is simply that, you MAKE LOVE. a physical and tangible incarnation of feelings! A fun one at that!
Do it when your alone and have an hour or two, night time is best.
Do it because you BOTH want to, do it because you truly are in love- and your not just ditzing around with your secretary.
Do it when things feel romantic. You'll know when!

Tigress looked expressionless, her face lite up with a happy glow not many had seen before.

"Perfect! Hey look, diagrams..."
Tigress submerged herself in a word of diagrams. A dirty, dirty, dirty world of diagrams.

~30 minutes later~

The top button of Tigress' vest was undone, she was panting like a mad woman. Squirming every five seconds. Her hips bucked madly on occasion.

She threw the book down on the desk, clenched her eyes closed, and tried to suppress her self.

"Dear gods..."

She was going crazy. Those diagrams were a fill in the blanks moment. Me when she did, she couldn't help but go a little feral.

She held her head straight up in the air, taking he refer from the desk. She looked down now at its wooden surface, raking her claws through her head's fur and over her ears.

"I think..."

It hurt her to think this, but it would have to be done...

"I think I need to talk to Viper."

Tigress grabbed the book, holding the few pages with diagrams in her paw, she tore slowly, removing them from the binding.
Viper would have to see these herself.

Tigress stood up, fidgeting with the top button of her vest, trying to redo it.

She walks out of the office, closing the shade behind her, and moving briskly out of the hall of heroes and off to the barracks...

To be continued...
