Sibling Dayz


"I understand, Princess Tigress. Thank you for telling me," Shifu replied. "I will make arrangements ready." Tigress bowed and exited the throne room just as Po passed her by.

"What are you doing here?" Tigress whispered to him.

"I could ask you the same," Po smirked cryptically. Tigress glared at him, huffing away. "Dad, I need to talk to you."

"What is the matter?" Shifu asked, coming off of his throne.

"Did you ever think or have some suspicion about Nelon? I mean, you've always known when I was in trouble just by twitching your ear," Po confessed. Shifu chuckled.

"I knew something about the allegiance was off. I sent my spies into Qiangdu before I did anything. Primarily, I sent the spies to monitor any trouble in the Qiangdu Nation itself. When they gave me reports of the people, I found the allegiance suspicious from the start. But when he proposed giving up his daughter, then I knew I had an edge," Shifu explained seriously. Po's eyes widened.

"You were going to take her hostage or worse to protect the Empire, weren't you?"

"A good man does anything for his family," Shifu stated.

"But when I went to Qiangdu?"

"When you went, I knew that Nelon wouldn't try anything. An immediate attack on the empire would cause his defeat instantly. The Empire was too strong at that time. So I knew you were safe," Shifu smiled. "I just didn't think you would change his mind."

"Well, I guess I'm just like that," Po replied.

"But that's why. Now, you better get to Tigress," Shifu smiled.

"Why?"

"Because I think she needs a tour of the place," Shifu replied. "Oh, and no, I'm not going to change the treaty."

"Oh come on!" Po exclaimed.

"She's here to stay, Po," Shifu said, dismissing him. The Panda walked out of the throne room. Po walked over to Tigress's room where he saw Crane joking around with Tigress who was just shaking her head.

"What's up?" Po asked.

"Oh, we were just talking about your stage of growing up like a ballerina," Tigress smirked. Po glared at Crane.

"Why did you tell her that?"

"She asked what you were like when you were a child. I gave truthful depictions," Crane smirked.

"You're lucky I don't have the broom with me," Po grumbled as Crane flew away.

"So, why are you here, dancing panda?" Tigress smirked.

"I was thinking of giving you a ride around the Jia," Po explained.

"Why?" Tigress asked, honestly curious.

"The Jia is very relaxing and quiet. Plus, it would be a nice change to get you out of the palace," Po replied. Tigress smirked.

"Are you sure that you're not trying to date me?"

"Of course not! I mean, that's not to say you aren't datable. I mean... What I'm trying to say is... You just like seeing me in a nervous mess, don't you?" Po scowled looking at the laughing tiger.

"Yes," Tigress mischievously said. Po rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, why don't we take a tour?" Tigress thought about it.

"Sure, on one condition," Tigress said. "You bring all of your brothers."

"Huh? Why?"

"Just because," Tigress quickly answered. Po narrowed his eyes.

"You're hiding something," Po replied.

"Something that you obviously can't know," Tigress argued back.

"You win this round. Fine, I'll get my brothers," Po sighed, walking away. Tigress blew a sigh of relief.

"Whew! That was close."


The five rode in the Junk with Po driving. Tigress was in the front and the other three brothers were in the back. "So where are we going?" Tigress asked.

"Viper and Song's community service building. It's surprisingly very lively," Po said, as they parked in the service building. The building was also a small coffee shop for passing people. It's also very near the financial district, so a lot of high-class people came over to visit. Po usually only visited this place after hours or when there was a small number of people. But, since Po decided to have a spur of the moment kind of thing, they went during busy hours. "Wait out here, I don't want to lose you among the high-class suits and briefcases," Po instructed.

"We'll go in with you. More heads are better than one. Especially in this place," Crane said, as Monkey agreed. It was true, the community service building was a warehouse, a skyscraper, and a coffee house combined. There was a lot of rooms and a lot of places to get lost. Even after ten years of working there, the brothers still got confused about where everything was. After Po, Crane, and Monkey entered the building, Tai-Lung smirked at the glaring Tigress.

"What?" Tigress asked, fearing a corny pick-up line.

"Is there any particular reason as to why you wanted all of us to come?" Tai-Lung asked, still holding his smirk. Tigress rolled her eyes.

"Nothing in particular. And anything you're thinking about is probably wrong," Tigress replied.

"I think it was because you didn't want anyone to think you two were dating," Tai-Lung smirked. Tigress crossed her arms and smirked back.

"And what? Does that make you jealous?" Tigress said, almost seductively. Tai-Lung laughed as he playfully poked Tigress's head.

"Oh don't try to use your charm now. Now that you're practically my sister, your seduction tactics don't work on me," Tai-Lung grinned. Tigress's eyebrow rose.

"Really? That quickly?" Tigress questioned.

"Come on, you really think I would just turn head over heels like that on a dime?"

"But you did," Tigress smirked.

"Ain't nobody asked you," Tai-Lung glared at the smirking Tigress. The two glared at each other for a while.

"I think those two are starting up an interesting sibling rivalry," Crane whispered to Po as they exited the building. Po nodded in agreement. Tai-Lung looked to see his brothers and Viper and Song with them.

"Tai-Lung!" Viper exclaimed, shooting up and wrapping her snake body around Tai-Lung's neck. "It's so good to see you!"

"You too. Now stop choking me!" Tai-Lung wheezed out. Tigress smiled in amusement. "I thought you were working at Mr. Ping's."

"I do, but I work part-time here," Viper explained as she slithered down.

"And you seem to be their new victim. I mean new roommate," Song joked. Tigress laughed as Po huffed.

"Come on, Song. We're not that bad, right?" Po said. Everyone was silent. "Right?" Song looked as if she was thinking. "SONG!"

"I'm thinking," Song joked. "Anyway, it's good to finally meet you. I'm Song."

"And I'm Viper," the snake said.

"It's good to meet you two," Tigress replied respectfully.

"Hey, why don't we all get a bite to eat at Mr. Ping's noodle shop. We're buying," Po offered.

"We are?" Crane asked. Po elbowed his brother hard. "I mean we are," Crane replied unenthusiastically. "Why?" Crane asked Po. Po groaned.

"Just get in the car," Po muttered. So they drove over to Mr. Ping's to get a bite to eat. The group of seven occupied all of the stools at the counter. The order from left to right was Tai-Lung, Monkey, Po, Tigress, Viper, Song, and Crane. As the snow leopard and snake finished asking their questions of Tigress, Po whispered over to Tigress. "Hey, I never asked you something. Why did you go along with your father's plan?" Tigress sighed.

"Po, I don't think-" She stopped short and shook her head. "Ah, what the heck. I guess the good answer would be I wanted to honor the Qiangdu Nation. In reality, I just wanted my father to be proud of me." Before Po could speak, Tigress stopped him. "I know now he loves me. But that was my motive back then."

"Hmm," Po simply responded.

"Oh, which reminds me. Mei-Ling is supposed to be coming over. Do you think you can control your brothers enough?" Tigress smirked.

"Come on, my brothers aren't that bad," Po said, defending them. Tigress laughed a bit.

"No, no they aren't," Tigress replied.

"Why are you letting Mei-Ling visit?" Po asked, drinking his juice.

"Well, It's been a month and a half since the Thunder Tournament and I just want to make sure she's okay," Tigress explained.

"Well, I'll be sure that she's welcomed at the palace. Actually, that reminds me. Your dad said that you were able to fight," Po mentioned cheekily. Tigress smirked, knowing where this was going.

"Yes, I do fight just like everyone else," Tigress replied.

"What about you and I spar tomorrow," Po cheekily answered. That got everyone's attention.

"Um... Po, I think that's a bad idea. And I'm usually the one who knows about bad ideas," Tai-Lung argued.

"Nonsense. He should get the chance to experience her type of fighting," Monkey countered.

"I agree. To my recollection, you've only trained with a few number of people. And am I correct that Mei-Ling is your first female sparring partner," Crane asked. Po nodded. "Then you need some more experience. Even if it means that you'll be pounded into the dirt."

"Thank you for the vote of confidence," Po muttered.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, you'll fight Tigress," Song officially stated.

"Ooo, I'm excited! Tell me how it goes," Viper gleefully said.
