Friday.
She woke up clutching her chest. Tomorrow was the competition. Today she would pack her bags and start to drive so she could find a hotel and start training and focusing in everything... Shifu would meet her there. She smiled as she put on her pants and a shirt; she was going to take a shower once she got home. That is if she didn't forget to do that.


Po got to school without any new things to think over. But now he knew what he had to do...
Song rushed over him, once again greeting him with no kisses or hugs.

"Po, I need to talk to you." Po was about to interrupt her, tell her that he was busy even though all he was doing was taking stuff out of his locker.

"Po, We need to break up." He widened his eyes and turned around.

"Wait what?" Song sighed.

"THIS isn't working out, you like another girl and-"

"And?" Po couldn't believe she was breaking up with him... she, the girl who seemed to always have a reason to be with him. But now, she seem to have a million reasons for not being.

"I might have cheated on you," she mumbled. Po only facepalmed himself.

"Ughhh!" Everything, everything was happening right now!

"Po, let's be honest, you are in Love with Tigress," Po was about to argue when Song shushed him,
"And don't say you aren't! But you know what? I think you still have a chance to show her that, so do that. We are still friends, okay?"

Po nodded and sighed.

"Thanks Song." The girl nodded.

"And I'm sorry, you know, for cheating and stuff... and next time, don't wait too long to chase the girl you love." Song winked at him and then went away, joining one of her friends and walking away.

Po stood there, for the first time he felt relieved. He chuckled to himself. Song had figured it out... she was able to help him when he couldn't do so himself. Gosh, how stupid he had been all along?! Tigress knew it now... that's why after all those things he said, she didn't bother with him anymore. He wasn't worth it... and he agreed. He would have done the same.

He would fix all those mistakes. He would be strong enough for both of them. He would tell her just how stupid he has been and how he loved her. Loved her so much that he had confused himself and lost himself trying to figure it out. Because feelings are like that, he repeated in his head, they are just a riddle to figure out. And maybe, like Song has said, it wouldn't be too late to show her that. The bell rang and he headed towards class, his new-found confidence with him.


Tigress was tapping her fingers at a constant are in her desk. They were all red and her palm was sweaty. Gosh, she was never this nervous. Not in other competitions, not before. She smiled bitterly, Po was always there to calm her down. He said she was awesome and that she was always a winner. After a while, all she needed to calm down was him.

'I guess I'll have to find another way.'

Class soon began, and the moment Shifu was going to begin to talk Po entered. He was always interrupting him, she chuckled to herself. He apologized and took a seat, the only one that was left, which was the one resting next to her. He smiled at her, his green eyes glimmering. She looked away, today was not about him.

Hours passed and the bell rang, marking the end of the school, along with the beginning of summer. Tigress dashed to her locker, grabbing her jacket and then running to the parking lot. She had agreed with Shifu that she would be leaving right after school, she would only drop some thing at their house, take a shower and then drive those 3 hours to Gongmen. That she will be careful. And lastly she assured him that she was okay. Viper told her she would go, but she would leave on Saturday. And before going Viper wished her good luck along with Crane, who gave her a hug and told her to show everything she's got.

And gone she was.

Po walked out his latest class, trying to find Tigress along the hallways. She wasn't there. He went to her last class. The girl was not present. He ran to her locker and waited there. Five minutes. Ten minutes. He groaned in frustration. He went to Shifu's classroom, where the girl had to be. Before he entered, he peeked. Now was not a good time to have conflicts with him. But that was too late.

"Po, come in. I know you are there." He sighed and came inside.

"Why are you trying to find her?" Po widened his eyes, how come Shifu knew everything before he was able to tell?

"I... Shifu, I was so dumb, but you know that, right?" He sighed and continued on with his ranting, "I mean, I loved her. I do! But... but I was scared and confused and I thought I could get over it but... ahh! Instead I hurt her again and again! I am building a tower of mistakes!"

"I guess you are,"

"And I just realized that and... I wanna make it right."

Shifu sighed and grabbed his stuff, leading himself and Po out of the classroom.

"Well Po, good luck. But if you wanted to talk, she is not going to be here. She is going to Gongmen. She is having a tournament there tomorrow."

"Did she already leav-" Shifu nodded, once again cuttimg him off. Po smiled half-hearted and waved goodbye.

Now what?

"Po, if this is meant to work out, it will." Po looked behind him, but like always, Shifu had vanished.


He marched out, grumbling and rubbing his forehead. The world was against him, everytime pulling her further away from him. He bumped into someone, making his heart skip at the thought of it being Tigress. Maybe.

He looked up. No, it wasn't her. Shifu was always right, he shouldn't have expected this time to be different. It was Viper.

"Viper!" The girl widened her eyes and took his hand, helping her up. She shook the dust off her skirt.

"Hello Po, what are you still doing here?" He half-smiled.

"Searching for Tigress." The girl raised an eyebrow.

"Oh really?" He nodded.

"I thought-"

"Viper, I need your help. I messed up... everything! And I want to find her and she is in Gongmen and how am I even supposed to get there!? She has a tournament and I just wanted to talk... and... tell her I love her." Viper smiled and patted his sholder before giving him a side hug.

"Po, I'm going to her tournament. I'm going to leave tomorrow morning, you know, drive there and stuff. If you want I'll give you a ride too." Po smiled so brightly, making Viper chuckle. She was sure that by helping him, things would get better for her friend too. Po was on his way of redemption... at least that's how she thought about it.

"So, what do you say?"

"Yes! Of course yes!" Po shouted, hugging her and even lifting her off her feet. Viper chuckled.

"Well Po, I'll see you at the school at 6am!" The girl walked off, and went to one hallway... Po smiled when he saw Crane waiting for her there.

6am. That was really early, but at this point he didn't care about anything but seeing Tigress. And telling her those words he was sure she always wanted to hear from his lips.
