A/N: Hello readers here's chapter 10 (: hope you guys like it, i apologize for the delay again . but we hope you all enjoy this new chapter c:

The next morning, Tigress was the first to awaken due to the fact that she wasn't a heavy slipper, when the bright sunlight flashed on her face, she wrinkled her eyes a bit and slowly raised a paw to cover her face as she tried to open her tired eyes, she rubbed them carefully trying to clear out her vision and gasped as she realized they had spend the night out in this valley. She quickly sat up and gently shook the panda trying to wake him from his slumber.

"Po wake up!" she snapped shaking him a little harder.

"Mmm…Dad the bean buns aren't ready….." he mumbled, as he rolled over giving his back to the feline, Tigress growled in annoyance and got a great idea, she cleared her throat and sucked in a deep breath, suddenly she roared as loud as she could. Po's and the other's eyes snapped wide open in fear as they heard the ferocious roar.

"There's food in the basket just don't eat us!-" Po began, but then sighed in relief when he realized Tigress was smirking softly.

"Glad your all awake now." she muttered. Viper put her tail to her chest trying to calm her heart rate down.

"Tigress don't do that again, it scared me to death!" she snapped. Crane wrapped a wing around her and kissed her head, he looked at Tigress shook his head.

"Jeez Tigress was it necessary to nearly give us a heart attack?" the feline shrugged.

"I suppose not, but anyways, we have to get back to the valley of peace, do you realize the trouble were in right now? We spend the night here! Master Shifu is probably worried sick right now." she snapped, the other's froze, okay so that was a problem.

"Holy mother of kung fu! We're dead we're soooo dead!" Po panicked.

"Po calm down!" Tigress urged putting a paw on his shoulder.

"Tigress Your dad is totally going to skin us alive! Or worse! Use the wuxi finger hold on ME! Oh man I'm to young!" Po panicked.

"Po-" Tigress snapped.

"He'll never let me live through this!"

"Po Listen-"

"What will my dad say? He'll be so disappointed." he mumbled rubbing his head in worry. Viper looked at Tigress and slithered over.

"I got it." Tigress arched an eyebrow and Viper suddenly stood in front of the panda then…

SLAP!

Viper slapped him across the face making him fall over on his back.

"ugh…Thanks Viper I needed that." Tigress held in a growl, even though Po didn't seem to have a problem with getting hit, it still bothered her when Viper hit him, she shook her head of her nonsense and helped the panda back to his feet. He rubbed his reddened cheek and breathed in and out slowly trying to keep his composure.

"Uh Guys….Now that Po is better, we should really head back if we don't want to die." Crane Pointed out.

"Right! Let's go." Tigress ordered as she grabbed the picnic basket and wrapped it on her tail while she took off on four legs with other's behind her.

"Alright come on let's go!" Po grinned and surprisingly kept his pace with everyone, he wanted to get to the palace as much as they did.

Over at the Jade Palace.

"Man does Tigress think we'll try to steal something from her bedroom?" Mantis muttered to himself as he gazed around her room only to be surrounded by a lot of sharp weapons such as swords, star blades, and knives in place. He shivered a little.

"This girl can make her bedroom a dungeon if she wanted to." he whispered to himself, he sucked in a deep breath and slowly walked in her room, he was careful enough to make sure none of her weapons moved a muscle. He made his way towards her closet and picked up the rest of her dirty clothes and quickly sprinted out of her bedroom, he breathed heavily and wiped his forehead with his thingies.

"I NEVER WANNA GO IN THERE AGAIN!" he gasped.

"Man dude, you really are a wimp when it comes to girls." Monkey snorted walking out of Crane's room with the rest of his laundry. Mantis glared daggers at him.

"This is no ordinary girl we're talking about here! This is Tigress we're talking about!" he growled.

"She still a girl, quit your whining I'm sure its not that bad in there." Mantis gave him the -Oh-really- look. Monkey caught on what he was suggesting and put the clothes down, he reached the tiger's front door and took the door knob.

"How bad can it be?" he chuckled and took a step inside, Mantis waited and then suddenly.

WHOOSH!

Monkey ran out of her bedroom in no less then 3 seconds, he panted hard and held a hand to his chest. Mantis couldn't help it but burst out in laughter. He fell on his back and laughed hysterically wiggling his four legs in the air.

"You were saying Monkey?" he snickered.

"Dude Tigress is crazy! Po really loves his women feisty, let alone DANGEROUS!" he panted.

"Po's always been a weird guy, But hey it's his funeral, if he's happy with her then its no biggie." Mantis pointed out.

"You got a point, hey speaking of them, they didn't come back last night did they? " Monkey asked the insect.

"No they did not." a voice called from behind making Monkey and Mantis jump a foot and put a hand/thingy on their chests trying to restart their heart.

"Oh jeez Master, don't sneak up on us like that!" Monkey complained. Shifu chuckled a little.

"My apologies, but as to answer your question Master Monkey, neither Po or Tigress, Crane or Viper returned home last night." he added seeming completely calm over the fact.

"Well you don't seem to be bothered Master." Mantis pointed out. Master Shifu arched an eyebrow.

"Should I be bothered?" he asked. The insect shrugged.

"Well I don't know I mean…they are a couple and out alone in who knows where…who knows what they could be doing." he added. Shifu's right eye began to twitch as he caught on to what the insect was assuming.

"They wouldn't do such a thing." he nearly growled. Mantis held up his thingies in defense.

"Sorry master! I'll keep my mouth shut!" Mantis promised hopping on Monkey's shoulder, Shifu let out a deep breath and slowly began to walk out of the barracks.

"Carry on." he mumbled and disappeared from sight.

"Those two really need to learn how to grow up, I can relate to Po's and Viper's annoyance." he muttered to himself and made his way to the training to catch on his meditation.

Out in the Valley of Peace.

"Hurry!" Viper urged slithering as fast as she could.

"ah (Pant) are we (Pant) almost there?" Po panted slowing his pace into a jog. Tigress took hold of the panda's paw and tugged him along.

"Come on Po, we're almost there." she urged.

"Oh man, My throat burns!" he complained forcing his legs to keep running. Tigress thought for a minute, then a it hit her. She quickly grabbed the panda's face in her paws and smashed her lips to his, Po felt the heat run up to his cheeks and grinned stupidly when Tigress released him, she stared at him hoping that would help, suddenly with out a warning Po picked her up and placed her on his back.

"Hold on! This is gonna be a bumpy ride!" he smirked and took off running in an insane speed. Tigress gasped and held on tightly. Viper and Crane's eyes widened, damn can a kiss really give him that much energy? They didn't know, but if they wanted to keep up they had to hurry, Crane picked up Viper and put her on his back.

"Hang on." he warned, Viper nodded and coiled her body around him, the avian took off flying fast, Viper could feel the wind on her face and closed her eyes.

"If we weren't in a matter of life and death right now, I would totally love this." she stated. Crane chuckled.

"If we leave through Shifu I'll take you flying tonight. I promise." he grinned, Viper blushed but nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile on the safe ground with Po and Tigress.

They made it through the valley and came in front of the palace stairs, Po eyed them in annoyance but sucked in a breath and turned to look at Tigress, who was still holding on to his neck.

"Hold on Kitten." Po grinned and began running up the palace stairs. Tigress couldn't believe that a simple kiss could give him this amount of energy, still it didn't bother her, she was TOTALLY glad to help. A few minutes passed and Po suddenly reached the top of the stairs, panting a little trying to catch his breath. Tigress jumped off his back and gave him a peck on his cheek.

"Thank you for the lift." she smirked. Po collapsed on the floor breathing hard.

"No (pant) Problem." he panted, Tigress chuckled and helped him up.

"Come on, we have to get to shifu." she urged.

"Right! Hey where's Crane and Vi-"

"We're here! Now let's go if we want to live!" Crane snapped all four warriors rushed into the Palace and passed the training hall, they were about to reach the Hall of warriors only to stop at dead tracks when they saw a pile of Tigress clothing and it was…..walking?

"Monkey hurry up I need to get this to her bedroom." Mantis called out. Tigress snarled, Who the hell dared to touch her clothing?

"MANTIS?" she growled the insect dropped her clothes and hopped on top gulping as he gazed at the furious tiger.

"Uh..He-Hey Tigress… I was just uhh…" Suddenly Monkey came out with a pile of Crane's wet clothes.

"Alright, I'm done jeez your so impa- Oh uh…Hey guys…" he gulped. Crane arched an eyebrow looking entirely confused why his clothes were being washed by the Primate. His thought were interrupted by a sudden snarl.

"Care to explain what your doing to my clothes?" she growled stomping towards the insect. Po and Viper looked at each other and backed away a little.

"Well uh… you see.." the insect began.

"I have ordered them to wash your dirty clothings Master Tigress and Master Crane." Shifu stepped forward making Mantis sigh in relief thanking the gods he showed up before he died.

"Master?" Tigress arched an eyebrow not sure where this was going.

"As a punishment for these two's ridiculous behavior, I have assigned that they will be serving you and Master Crane with out any objections for two weeks." he clearly stated.

"Whoa meaning like, they get to boss them around and they can't complain?" Po asked. Shifu nodded.

"Precisely."

"That's awesome!" Po snapped, Monkey and Mantis glared at him. Tigress and Crane looked at each other for a brief moment and smirked evilly at the two, the primate and the insect knew those looks perfectly well and shivered in fear. Shifu cleared his throat and gathered their attention.

"Well now I shall be off to my meditation, Tigress, Crane do what ever you please." he ordered and walked out of the hall of warriors, Monkey and Mantis looked at each other completely scared their butts off.

"This can't be good." Monkey whispered to Mantis.

"No doubt about that." Mantis squeaked nervously. Tigress walked past Mantis heading over to her bedroom and smirked.

"Alright then, Mantis I expect my clothes in 10 minutes, after I'll see you in the training hall." she grinned flashing her fangs making the insect gulp in fear. Crane however wasn't exactly the meanest guy in the world so he gently patted Monkey on the shoulders.

"When your done with my clothes, mind cleaning up my painting area?" he grinned. Monkey let a small smile and nodded.

"No prob, at least your not demanding." he whispered and then turned to Mantis.

"If you die can I have your room? Your farther away from Po's I can't any sleep with his snoring." he whined. Po frowned and glared at the primate.

"HEY! I don't snore." he complained. Monkey rolled his eyes, Mantis shivered.

"You- You don't think she's that heartless right? Hehe" he chuckled nervously. The others shrugged looking indifferent.

"Come on! Po you're her boyfriend, how do you survive?" Po chuckled and shook his head.

"Dunno, I guess it's just the fact that she cares about me." he smiled widely at that. Mantis rolled his eyes at his dreamy expression.

"Not helping big guy." he muttered.

"Well just do what she says and don't piss her off. Simple as that." Po encouraged.

"That's easy for you since she LOVES you." he groaned. Po blushed as he pointed that out.

"Well at least try not to tick her off, I learned that the hard way, even if she does care for me I wouldn't say I don't try my best not to piss her off." he admitted. Mantis gulped but nodded.

"Alright, I guess the only way to make it out alive is to suck it up and do what she says." Monkey snickered, Mantis glared daggers at him.

"Shut it Monkey." he snapped.

"MANTIS HURRY UP!" Tigress growled from outside the gate.

"Better hurry if you want to make it out in one piece buddy." Crane grinned, Mantis gulped and picked up her clothing from the floor yelling.

"COMING TIGRESS!" and began hopping out the hall of warriors. Crane, Viper, Monkey and Po looked at each other and snickered hysterically.

"Poor guy, he's a goner." Po stated, Monkey picked up Crane's clothes and headed out the gate.

"I might get a new room tonight." he grinned to himself and shut the gates behind him. Po turned to look at the couple.

"I'll go see if Tigress is going easy on the poor guy, I'll see you guys at Dinner." he grinned the couple nodded their heads and watched him leave.

Over in the Training hall with Mantis and Tigress.

"Alright I'm finished with your clothes, what did you need Tigress?" Mantis asked as politely as he could seeing how Tigress was beating the living crap out of the crocs, he shivered thinking that if he didn't be careful that is what most likely will happen to him. Tigress caught sight of the bug and did a back flip landing in front of him.

"Let's have a sparring Match." she grinned.

"N-Now?" Mantis gulped, Tigress grinned.

"Yes now, do you have a problem with that?" she snapped.

"Oh no! of course not! Hehe sparring…yea I love it.." Mantis said nervously. Tigress flashed her fangs again.

"Let's get started." she stated and put a fist in her palm, bowing at the insect, Mantis bowed back hoping and praying that he will survive this. Tigress stood in her fighting stance.

"Ready?" she grinned. The insect shivered a little and held up his shaky thingies.

"Ready as I'll ever be." he gulped. Tigress launched at him throwing a kick, Mantis dodged it and jumped in the air aiming for her back, Tigress sensed his attack and quickly did a back flip, she used her tail and smacked him in the back of the head. Mantis landed on his back rubbing his antennas.

"Ow." he groaned, and glared at the tiger that was now in her stance once again ready for him to strike back.

"I'm just warming up." he groaned, Tigress smirked.

"Right." she said sarcastically. Mantis used his speed and tried to throw several punches but Tigress could hear and sense his every move and dodged them with out a problem, she scissor kicked him and while he tried to block her feet she used her tail to strike him on the stomach making him fly across the training hall, Mantis hit the wall and landed on his stomach groaning in pain.

"Ugh, alright! You win!…again." he growled, Tigress removed her stance and smiled at her accomplishment. Then she wiped her forehead removing the sweat drops dripping from her fur.

"Mantis get me a glass of water." she demanded, walking over to the training dummy that held a towel, Mantis was still on his stomach groaning in pain.

"Ugh… Can you wait a little I-"

"Are you questioning me?" she snarled, Mantis quickly got to his four legs and dusted himself.

"No No! I'm going, I'm going!" he shivered and hopped out the gate only to bump into Po.

"Oh hehe… Hey buddy your alive." he grinned, Mantis growled.

"Yea for now, jeez I barely finished a sparring match with her now she wants me to get her some water… Po no offence but why the hell do you like your women EVIL?" Po chuckled and patted him gently.

"Don't worry two weeks go by fast, you'll be alright." he encouraged and began to walk into the training hall.

"Yea right, easy for him to say… he's dating the girl" he snapped and hopped his way to the kitchen.

In the Training hall.

Po walked into the training room and glanced over at his beloved that was sitting down in front of the obsticle courses meditating.

"Hey beautiful, How'd the little guy do?" Po chuckled, Tigress snapped her eyes open and turned around glancing up at the panda she loved.

"Hey Po." she greeted him as she jumped to her feet and walked over to him.

"Did you go easy on him?" Po asked again. Tigress smirked and giggled.

"If throwing him across the room, and making him get me some water sounds easy for you, then yes I went completely easy on him." she grinned. Po chuckled and shook his head.

"Little harsh don't you think?" he snickered. Tigress shook her head.

"After making you and Viper go and run some 'errands' do you possibly believe I wont get back at him?" she grinned evilly.

"Guess not, at least let the poor guy live until he meets a girl of his own." Tigress thought about that for a minute.

"Alright, I guess that seems fair." she grinned. Suddenly Mantis walked in with a glass of water, he walked over to Tigress and handed it to her.

"Here's your water, need anything else?" Tigress thought for a minute.

"Yes I do need my weapons to be sharpened." she stated, Mantis felt a chill on his spine. Going back into her room? And sharpen THOSE things! Tigress noticed his terrified expression and grinned.

"Is there a problem with that Mantis?" the insect gulped and slowly shook his head.

"Nope not at all, I'll errr….get started." Mantis squeaked and began to hop out of sight when suddenly Monkey came in covered in paint.

"WHOA! What happened to you buddy?" Mantis asked, Monkey groaned in annoyance and tried wiping away some of the paint from his face.

"I was cleaning Crane's painting area…" he muttered, Po and Tigress silently snickered as they gazed the Primates body, his was painted in different colors, any more and he would be the perfect example of a rainbow monkey.

"Gotta say bud, Pink is your style." Mantis snickered. Monkey glared daggers at him.

"Shut up bug." Mantis burst out in laughter falling on his back.

"Alright, alright I'm done. I'll see you later." he snickered and hopped out of the training hall. Monkey groaned and slowly walked over to Po and Tigress that had a paw on their mouths trying to hold in their laughter.

"So did you wrestle Crane's paintings?" Po chuckled. Monkey rolled his eyes and glared at him.

"Can it Po." he growled.

"I'm joking. Maybe you should head over to the bath house, you really need it." Po pointed out gesturing his fur.

"Right. By the way how's Mantis holding up?" Monkey asked, Tigress shrugged indifferently.

"He'll live." Tigress grinned evilly. Monkey shivered thanking the gods he got Crane and not her.

"I'll take it that your not going so easy on him." he whispered. Tigress chuckled, and Po only shrugged. Monkey shook his head in disbelief and started walking out the training hall.

"Well I need to go get cleaned up, I'll see you guys later." he stepped out the hall leaving Po and Tigress alone. Once he was out of sight Po turned to his beloved and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"You know, I think I should head over to the kitchen and get started on dinner." Tigress smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'll meet you over there." she stated, Po nodded and gave her a tight hug before he released her and ran out of the training hall.

In the kitchen

Po walked over to the kitchen already thinking of what would be a good dish to eat, noodles? Porridge? Hmmm he'd have to think carefully, but soon his thoughts were interrupted but a sound of a plate hitting the floor. He quickly looked up to find Viper taking out the food from their basket.

"Hey Viper." the snake looked up to see the panda entering the kitchen.

"Hey Po, I'm just putting the left over's away… you know before they go bad."

"Here let me help you." Po offered grabbing a pile of bowls filled with noodles, some left over bread and fruit they packed.

"Thanks brother." Viper smiled sweetly.

"No problem." he grinned back, then a sigh escaped his lips, Poor Monkey and Mantis, they have been going through a lot right now, first they ran up and down the palace stairs, had to paint the training hall (which they failed miserably), only to earn a horrible punishment in serving Crane and Tigress, well it was kinda entertaining to watch but still that's a little to much.

"You know, I can't help but to feel kinda sorry for Monkey and Mantis." he whispered. Viper slowly nodded, he was right on that.

"They have been going through a lot, honestly I think this punishment is a little to much." she admitted.

"No kiddin, I mean they thought they were helping us, but this is a little rough even for those two." Po agreed. Suddenly both Po and Viper beamed up.

"I GOT IT!" they said in unison, they earned a small chuckle after that. It's really weird but funny on those random moments where they would talk at the same time.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Po grinned. Viper nodded and whispered something in Po's ear making him grin and rub his paws together.

"I like your thinking. Alright I'll just fix up something to eat for Monkey and Mantis and we'll go." Po added. Viper nodded and slithered out the kitchen.

In Tigress room.

"Man this girl wants to kill me." Mantis shivered, as he gently picked up the smallest sword he can find, he examined it for a bit and rubbed it with his thingies, it looked extremely sharp, he gulped and was about to get started when suddenly Tigress's door snapped open making Mantis squeak in fear, he threw the sword in the air and made it land two inches behind him. Tigress snickered at the sight of the bug shaking in fear not daring to move.

"Jeez Tigress can't you knock!" Mantis gasped, putting one of his thingies to his chest, Tigress rolled her eyes.

"My bedroom." She simply answered looking around to see if he hadn't screwed anything up.

"Right." Mantis gulped. Tigress turned her attention to the sword behind him and grinned evilly.

"How's the sharpening coming along?" she taunted.

"uhh it's coming a long just fine." Mantis shivered, looking at the sword in fear as if it was ready to attack him. Tigress rolled her eyes.

"Well get started. I expect them to be-"

"Hey guys!" Viper smiled sweetly slithering into the Tiger's room. Mantis sighed in relief saved by the snake.

"Hey Viper." Tigress greeted. The snake giggled looking at how frightened the poor insect was.

"I just came to ask if you can do me a favor and inform Shifu I'll be heading over to the Valley to pick up a few things." Tigress shrugged and nodded.

"I'll let him know." she stated, suddenly Monkey walked he was soaked from his recent bath. He arched an eyebrow as he saw the small group blocking his way to his bedroom.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" he asked.

"Nothing, I was just asking them for a favor." Viper grinned. Then Crane quickly stepped out of his bedroom and looked at Monkey.

"Oh good thing I found you, listen I need you to go down to the valley and get me some more paint, I'm running low and I need to finish a painting I recently started." Crane announced, Monkey groaned in annoyance but nodded.

"Fine, I'll go in a minute." he groaned and walked past his friend walking into his room. Just then Po arrived to the scene.

"Hey guys, Can you do me a favor? I need to go and pay my dad a visit, he might need help with some things. Could you guys please tell Shifu?" Po announced and began walking out the barracks until Viper caught up to him.

"I'll go with you, I have some stuff I need to take care of myself." she smiled sweetly. Crane and Tigress stiffened a little, both of them going down to the valley? Alone? Not gonna happen. Tigress and Crane shared a glance approached their beloved.

"A-Actually I'll go and get the paint myself, hehe.., Mantis you can Monkey he's off the hook for right now." he announced. Tigress turned to look at the bug and nodded in agreement.

"You can sharpen them later, I'm sure Mr. Ping might need all the help he can get." she muttered, as she clunged on to Po's paw. Just then Monkey stepped out.

"Alright I'm done what kinda paint did you want Crane?" he asked.

"Actually Monkey you can take a break, I'll go get them myself." he grinned, Monkey arched an eyebrow but didn't complain he needed this break so badly.

"Mantis you may take a rest for today, but tomorrow I expect to have my weapons sharpen." she snarled, Mantis quickly nodded in agreement. Then the two couple began to walk out only to have Po and Viper give them a small wink at the primate and insect.

"You two are far more then fortunate to have friends like Po and Viper." the two warriors turned around to find Master Shifu standing behind them with a grin on his face.

"I'll keep that in mind!" Monkey grinned.

"I'll never tease them again!" Mantis gasped and fell on his back breathing hard. Shifu chuckled and began walking out the barracks.

"Use your break wisely, and don't forget to thank the Dragon warrior and Master Viper for their kindness." he announced, Mantis and Monkey nodded in agreement and sat down for a little enjoying the little freedom they received.
