The Result Of Love

Tigress was sleeping happily in bed, but it wasn't hers. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the faceof a smiling white tiger. His arms were around her and hers were around him. Tigress quietly slipped out of Po's grip. She decided it would be best to get him up. "Po," she said. Po didn't reply. Tigress softly shook him. "Po are you okay?" She asked. Still nothing. She felt Po's head to check for fever. He seemed ok. She quickly decided to get Lion. Lion came in and inspected Po. Po was still breathing but slower. Finally, Lion figured out what was happening.

"He's asleep," he simply said. Tigress was shocked.

"But I thought Po never slept." Tigress replied. Lion nodded.

"Yes, but it seems that you managed to get him to sleep. He'll be up in a couple of days. His body has taken a real toll." he put his hand on Tigress shoulder as he went out the door, "thank you Tigress." He quietly went to his own business. Tigress look on at the sleeping cat. She smiled as he kissed him on the cheek.

"Sleep well, my panda." She whispered. She went out to the kitchen where Krista was there smiling as wide as the valley between two mountains.

"Oh hey sis," Krista said. Tigress groaned

"Don't tell me that you are going to start calling me that?" She sighed.

"of course not, but you are like a sister to me. Oh and two things," Krista punched Tigress hard on the arm. she winced as she rubbed it, "that's for you and Tai-gee talking about having a bet on how long it would take for me to date Alex." She then suddenly hugged Tigress, "that's the other thing. Because you guys were talking about it, Alex overheard you guys and now he and I are dating." Tigress gasped in joy.

"Krista I'm so happy for you!" Tigress exclaimed but she noticed that Krista continued to look at her with amusement, "What?"

"So I'm curious. Who won the bet?" Krista asked.

"Oh come on. Bets are a silly child's game. Ha!" Krista raised her eyebrow, "I won. Forty coins." Tigress said bluntly. Krista was a little surprised.

"Wow! I didn't think you guys had that much money." Tigress wickedly smiled

"We don't."

"Tigress?" Krista asked worried.

"I'm kidding. I guess since Po and I have confessed our love to each other, I have gained more of a sense of humor." Tigress stated not realizing what she said.

"Wait! You and Po? You guys finally... Oh I'm so happy for you guys!" Krista said overjoyed sitting her down, "So how did it go? When did it begin? Details! Details!"

"Easy crazy wolf, we confessed our love to each other last night. It ended in him holding me in his arms and me sleeping in bed with him. Not like you're thinking! We just slept next to each other, no funny business," Tigress said after seeing Krista raise her eyebrows again.

"Aw! So sweet! Well, the others won't be up for a couple of minutes. Want to start training?" Krista suggested.

"Sure," Tigress replied. As they went to the training hall, they saw Zeng carrying something black to his room. They decided to follow him and found him stuffing a black costume with a black hat and mask and a case of arrows and a bow. Tigress and Krista came in the room. "Zeng? You're Dead Shot Duck," Tigress asked as Zeng jumped.

"Don't sneak up on me like that! Yes I am the legendary Dead Shot Duck." Zeng said.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Krista.

"I guess I was nervous. When I disappeared, you guys took over so there was no need for me. Then Oogway knew who I was and hired me to be a servant. He said that he knew that I was the only one to be able to handle the stress and be the second line of defense. Sorry I didn't tell you guys earlier." Zeng finished sadly.

"It's me who should be sorry. I did nothing but intimidate you. Can you forgive me for that?" She pleaded. Zeng smirked at her.

"Continue to bring Po happiness and I will always forgive you." he said.

"Group hug," Krista said as she brought everyone together. What a good day it was turning out to be.

Po woke up very slowly. He opened his eyes to adjust to sunlight. He got up and stretched his arms. His stomach growled very loudly. "I'm famished. It feels like I haven't eaten anything in days." He slowly made his way to the kitchen. He noticed that all the others' rooms were empty. Po groaned thinking that he must have slept over. "Well maybe Shifu will be gracious to me." Po thought to himself. He sniffed the air and realized that something good was in the kitchen. The one thing that was constant about Po was his appetite. When he got to the kitchen, he could see that Tigress was the one cooking. "Mmmmm. What are you making?" Po asked. Tigress jumped as she saw that it was just Po.

"oh Po you scared me. I wasn't expecting you to be up." she said. Po was confused.

"Why? Did Shifu give us the day off?" He asked.

"No it's just that you've been sleeping for three days," she said. Po's jaw dropped.

"You mean, I've just been dozing off without waking up for three days straight? Now wonder I'm so hungry. So where are the others?" He asked as he sat down.

"Lion and the other Lion warriors are going to the Lion council to finalize my membership and Shifu and the furious five have gone to help fix up some of west China. So that leaves Alex, Krista, Zeng, you, and me here." she said as she sat right next to him. Po smiled.

"So where is Krista and Alex?" He asked knowingly.

"Oh they went to the shop to get something and Zeng is over Tai-gee's house playing with Miracle," she said as she rose from her chair and went behind his back, "so that means that we have time to catch up." They kissed lovingly.

THEN they heard a knock.

knock

Both of them groaned. They went to the door to see Lion accompanied with four hooded figures. Lion had the biggest smile he ever had on his face. "Please tell me you guys haven't gotten IT on yet." Lion joked.

"Lion!" Tigress and Po shouted. Tigress looked at the hooded figures.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I decided to bring a present for your guys' hard work." he said. The four hooded people revealed themselves. Two women, two men, one couple white furred, the other orange, and all four were one species, Tigers. Po and Tigress gasped.

"our parents?" Po asked slowly. The four tigers rushed up to them and hugged them. Tigress' mother whispered in her ear saying,

"I am so sorry we left you. Can you ever forgive us?" Tigress looked around for a second. She saw all the Valley of Peace. Then she looked at Po as he hugged his family. She smiled as she hugged her mother back.

"You never had to. If it weren't for your actions, I wouldn't be where I needed to be." Tigress said. All the cats cried in joyful tears as Lion said.

"Our kingdom is coming back together." Just then Tigress went over to Lion and looked at him with a smile.

"I still can't believe it. I mean you. The story of a slave becoming a prince. There are times when I still remember you as that mute little rat who I use to pick on. Now you're a prince rat and my teacher and best friend. Thank you." Tigress chuckled as she hugged the rat. The rat smiled and hugged back. Tigress laughed again as she pulled away. "Po's right. You do talk too much." Lion just laughed.
