CHAPTER 15- A TRIP TO SPIRIT REALM
HERE'S THE FOURTEENTH (OR MAYBE LAST) CHAPTER! ENJOY!
AFTER 1 WEEK…
Everything was normal. People didn't had to worry about that Evil-Rhino. It was a normal afternoon at the Jade Palace.
Tigress went to Po's room and knocked at his door. "Come in." Po said. She came in, Po was eating Monkey's Almond cookies. Po stood up. "Hi, Tigress."
"Hi Po." She sat beside him. Po offered her a cookie. She smiled took the cookie. "You stole Monkey's Almond cookies again?"
Po chuckled nervously. "Please don't tell him."
"I won't tell, but he will find out himself." She said.
Po sighed, "Yeah, whatever. What brings you here, Tigress?"
"Well, I just had to talk to you."
"About what?"
There was pause between two, Tigress said, "A week ago, when we were on the mission," Po nodded. "You promised me to take me on a trip to the Spirit Realm." Tigress said blushing. She felt like a child asking for a toy.
Po smiled, "Yeah, now I remember."
"So, when can we go?" She asked.
"Whenever you like, Tigress." Po said, eating another cookie.
"How about now?" She asked.
"Umm… ok." Po said and stood up. "Let's go."
They went to the Hall of Heroes. Po picked up his Jade Staff (the one master Oogway gave him in KFP3). He was the Master of Chi; he could easily travel from Mortal Realm to Spirit Realm.
"Grab my hand, Tigress." Po said. Tigress smiled and grabbed his hand. Po rotated his staff in a circle on the ground, a golden light glowed. When Po and Tigress opened their eyes, they were in the Spirit Realm.
"So, is this the Spirit Realm, Po?" she asked.
"Yes."
"It's so beautiful." She said looking around.
"Hello." Someone said. They looked back to see Master Oogway and Shifu. Po and Tigress bowed.
"Master Shifu!" Tigress said. She jumped and hugged Shifu. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too, my daughter." Shifu said.
"Looks like she's very happy to see Shifu." Oogway said to Po. Po nodded.
"Yes, she wanted to meet him so bad, so I took her here." Po said.
"So how was your mission?" Shifu asked, breaking the hug.
"You know about the mission?" Po asked, surprised.
"Of course I do. I always watch you from here." Shifu said smiling.
"We defeated that evil rhino." Tigress said, smiling.
"That's very nice." Shifu answered. "Tigress, I need to talk to you about something. Come with me." Shifu told and Tigress followed him. Shifu took her to the Peach Tree.
"What is it, Master?" She asked.
"Tigress, I see you're doing your responsibility as the Grandmaster precisely." Shifu said, smiling. "And I am glad to see this."
"Thank you."
"But I was disappointed when you gave up on your Title." Shifu said.
"Yeah, I am sorry, Master. I was out of rage, I won't do that again." She apologized.
"That's okay. Just try not to get so out raged. You need to focus on your inner peace."
"Yes, master. Is that's what you want to tell me?" She asked.
"No. I wanted to talk you about; I am seeing you're having some kind of feeling for that panda." Shifu asked seriously. Tigress thought before answering.
"Uh… well…"
"You can tell me, Tigress. Don't be afraid, I won't be angry." Shifu told.
"Well, yeah sort of." She finally said. "He's a close friend to me, maybe closest." She said. "When I sometime feel alone, he comforts me; he's always there for me, I think I kind of… love him."
"Then you should tell him your true feelings." Shifu said, smiling at her words.
"I-I can't, Master." She said. "He won't understand."
"Trust me, Tigress. He will." Shifu told. "I know you're not really the one for emotional word, Tigress. But you need to tell him, trust me, everything will be fine."
Tigress bowed, "As you say, Master. I'll tell him."
With Po…
"Dragon Warrior, I am seeing that you're having special feelings about Tigress." Oogway said, smiling. Po bushed.
"Well- I…"
"Dragon Warrior, hiding something from people only agitate your mind, if you tell her your true feelings, your mind will finally be calmed." Oogway said wisely.
"Yeah, I got what you're saying but what if she doesn't understand? She's my closest friend; I don't want our friendship be ruined."
"Telling your true feeling doesn't ruin your friendship, my boy. Trust me, she'll understand." Oogway told.
Po bowed respectfully, "Ok, master. As you say." Oogway smiled.
Tigress and Shifu came. "Students, it's your time to go back to the mortal realm." Shifu said.
"Yes, master. But really, I want to stay longer." Tigress requested.
"No Tigress, Po and your place is in the Mortal Realm. I am really glad you two visited us here." Shifu said, smiling. "You two can come here whenever you want. Po, it's your responsibility to give my daughter a tour when she wants to meet me, okay?"
Po bowed. "Yes, master." Po and Tigress grabbed each others' hands. "Goodbye, masters." Both said.
"Goodbye, students." Shifu said. "Say my hello to the four."
"Take care you two, we'll always be with you in your hearts." Oogway blessed them. Po moved rotated his staff; a big light came and formed a big Yin-Yang. When Po and Tigress opened their eyes, they were in the Hall of Heroes of the Jade Palace.
Tigress sighed with satisfaction, "Thank you so much, Po."
"Anytime, Tigress." Po replied, smiling.
"I finally got to see my father once again." Tigress said and hugged Po. Po hugged her back.
"I need to tell you something, Tigress." Po said, trying to hide his nervousness.
"What is it?"
"That- uh…" Po paused and took a deep breath. "I-I love you, Tigress." Po managed to say. Tigress looked at him with wide eyes. 'Oh! There she goes!'
"You- You really do, Po?" She asked. Po nodded. Tigress closed her eyes, Po was shivering.
"I know you didn't liked that, Tigress! I am ready, strike wherever you want! I will accept anything!" Po said.
"Okay, then this is your punishment." Tigress said and surprised him with a kiss. Po had his eyes widened, he closed his eyes calmly. They broke the kiss. "So, you learned anything from this punishment?" she asked smiling.
"Yes." Po answered smiling. "I found my true love."
"Good." She said. "I love you, Po." Po hugged her.
"I love you too, Tigress." He replied.
"WE SAW YOU!" The four came from behind a pillar.
"You two look so cute together!" Viper said.
Po and Tigress sighed. "How long have you guys been watching us?" Tigress asked.
"Just when Po said, 'I love you, Tigress.' and… did stuff." Mantis said.
"You people have no respect for our privacy!" Po said. Everyone started laughing.
Tigress cleared her throat, Po stopped laughing. "That's not right. You guys always sneak up on us. And your sentence is, I will prepare lunch for you all." Tigress replied with a smirk. They all groaned, remembering the last time Tigress cooked, that 'so-called food' tasted like HELL!
"Come on, Tigress!" they shouted. Tigress shook her head.
"You can't deny it, it's your fault. Go to the dining room." She ordered. They groaned and left.
"Hehe, Tigress, that was cool. Well, it isn't for me, right?" Po asked hopefully.
"You think you won't get to eat? Nuh-uh. I'll make the meal especially for you." She said, smirking.
Po's expression was shocked. "You serious?! I thought it was a joke! You remember the last time you cooked?! That thing tasted like hell!" Po said, but quickly covered his mouth when Tigress glared at him. 'Me and my big mouth!'
"You dare to question my food?!" Tigress said strictly and turned away. "Okay, I'll tell Monkey that you stole his almond cookies." She said and walked away.
"Pfft! You must be jok- WAIT! WHAT?! NO!" Po yelled and followed her. "No no no! Please no! He'll kill me! Don't please!" Po begged. Tigress shook her head.
"No, I'll tell him." She said and clicked her tongue.
"No, Tigress. Look, I said I love you! Don't do this please." Po said still fallowing her out of the hall. Tigress snickered to herself.
And everything became fine after that, except for Po and the four's condition after eating the lunch.
