THIS IS FALLING IN LOVE IN A FOOLISH WAY...THIS IS FALLING FOR YOU AND YOU ARE WORLDS AWAAAYYYYYY 💗
ENJOY!
As Tigress and Po were cuddling to each other, on another room there was a snake, who was trying to search for a way to ask Mei Ling details of why she actually came. However, before Viper actually had a chance to ask the golden leopard for answers, Mei Ling had already fallen fast sleep on Viper's bed. Viper frowned as she curled her body on the floor.
Meanwhile, Tigress was on Po's bed. Or actually, ON Po. Though the panda didn't really mind, after all the feline was lighter than her training showed and her fur produced this warmth that made Po feel cozy. The feline noticed the small sounds coming from him. Snores. If she were anyone else, it would have been impossible to sleep in such conditions. But she was a master. Which meant she could sleep through anything if needed.
The night came and went. They were both so comfortable than even Tigress forgot that the gong was going to ring and that Shifu could kill both of them if he found her at his room.
Po fluttered his eyes open, yawning while trying to stretch, whoever, something held him back. He raised his head and found Tigress. Of course. He smiled and was about to go back to sleep when he heard the gong. He widen his eyes and he heard the rest of them come out of their rooms and greet their master. Po darted his eyes at Tigress, shaking her awake and putting one of his hands over her mouth so she woudn't say anything. Tigress opened her eyes and everything fell into place. She exchanged a look with Po before silently getting off his bed.
The rest were outside, all of them wondering where Tigress was. They didn't really worry about Po, because while Viper and Daichi already knew, the rest just assumed he was a heavy sleeper. Shifu waited for a couple of seconds to pass before knocing on Tigress' door. No response. He opened it and found it empty. Then Po came out of his room, immeditaly shutting the door behind him.
"Morning Shifu!" He said a little bit too quickly. Shifu turned around and stared at the panda.
"Po, do you have any idea where Tigress is?" He asked him, stepping closer to him, making Po corner into his bedroom's door. The panda swallowed and shook his head.
"Oh really? Then why are there strands of her fur on yours?" Shifu said, pointing to some orange hairs that were laying on his shoulders. Po bit his tongue, trying to think of an excuse.
"Oh, umm, she hugged me! Oh, and yesterday she mentioned something about going to meditate, so she is probably outside," Po stuttered, tring to avoid his master's gaze. Shifu narrowed his eyes and shuffled Po aside, opening his door. To his surprise, there was no one there. Or actually to his suspicions.
"Yeah, she also told me she was going to meditate!" Viper added, exchanging a smile with the panda. Po nodded his head up and down. Shifu rubbed his temple before sighing.
"Very well, then someone go tell her training is starting," Po and Viper nodded. They watched as Shifu walked out of the barracks and into the hallway. Po sighed and entered his room again, the rest of the six peeking behind him.
"Tigress?" he whispered, just in case Shifu was listening. All of them began to look around the room, trying to find the feline with their eyes.
"Got her!" Daichi shouted, pointing under the bed, where there was a hint of her tail peeking out. Po smiled and bended down.
"Tigress, Shifu's gone!" not much later, the feline started to cough and crawl out of the bed.
"Geez Po, a little bit of dusting wouldn't hurt." The rest chuckled while Po sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. Viper giggled as she watched the feline shake the dust off her clothes.
"So..." Daichi began, "shall we expect any babies crying soon?" Tigress and Po looked at one another before Tigress got it and widened her eyes.
"YOU ARE DEAD!" Both of them ran out of the barracks and into the hallway, Daichi's scream melting into the air. Mantis hopped to Po's shoulder.
"So, what was she actually doing in your room?" PO opened and closed his mouth.
"Just...um...helping me with something?" Monkey, Mantis and Crane exchanged a look before narrowing their eyes at Po, but before they could protest, Viper was leading them out.
"Guys, let's just leave Po alone with his business." Viper turned back to Po and winked at him, and Po gave her a thumbs up. At least Viper could understand and have his back on this kind of situations.
After a while they all were seated around the kitchen, yet it was obvious one way or another, Tigres had gotten her revenge. Daichi's fur was all misplaced, but that wasn't the only thing. Daichi was glaring at Tigress, while the feline was smirking at herself, proud of whatever deed she had accomplished.
As Po continued on with his cooking, humming to himself, everyone was already being part of a conversation. Po started to serve the bowls of his soup along with some leftover dumplings from some days ago.
"Enjoy guys!" he exclaimed as he sat down with his own bowl and began devouring. Unlike the guys, Tigress and Viper took their time eating and enjoying it. Not soon after they were done with their food, Shifu came with Zeng following close behind him. The poor duck was carrying a big column of papers. Po amd Tigress saw this and immediately stood up and went to help him. Each one took the column by the side, their hands touching at the bottom. Daichi rolled his eyes.
"Oh bite me!" Viper lightly hit him with his tail. The couple started to carefully set the papers at the table, yet one of them slipped out and landed in front of Mantis.
"Look guys! Is those posters Shifu was telling us about!" Mantis said as he held onto one and began reading. Monkey and Crane peeked over, along with Mei Ling.
"Wow, Shifu, you actually made a pretty cool design!" The guys nodded in agreement. Shifu just frowned and snatched the paper away from him.
"I'm glad you like it, because there are over 100 of these papers, and its your responsability to get them to the village. I would suggest you go in pairs and distribute them." A long echo of groans filled the kitchen.
"Oh and Daichi, your dad told me to give you this," he said, extending a scroll towards him. Daichi curiously took it.
"With that said, have a good rest of your day." They continue to silently eat what was left of their breakfast while Daichi read the letter. Po could see the annoyance in Daichi's face, so he nudged Tigress, motioning her to ask. The feline complied.
"So daichi, any news?" Daichi shook his head and dropped the scroll in the table.
"Its fine. My dad just wrote this to say goodbye cause he needed to head back to our house to inform my mom about...well, everything," he responded. The seven of them exchanged look, the boys and Tigress didn't get it. But Mei Ling and Viper seem to.
"Geez, he should have said it in person!" Mei Ling muttered, earning a nod from Viper.
"Yeah, but that's my dad." Tigress nodded, giving him a small smile. The room stayed quiet for the next minute, until Mantis went up the stack of papers and carefully but quickly began to divide them.
"Okay, so I'm going with Mantis. Crane can go with Daichi, Viper can go with-"
"Mei ling! I'll go with Mei Ling," Viper quickly said. Mei Ling chuckled at her excitement. The guys shrugged it off and Mantis continued listing.
"okay, and that leaves...Oh no...Tigress and Po." Po flashed a smile at her.
"So now that we got the groups, let's begin." Mantis gave everyone a stack of about 25 posters and each pair made their way to the village.
Viper and Mei Ling were behind the group, who had already started to take up different parts of the village. They were working really well since Mei Ling could easily set them apart and Viper pasted them with her tail.
"So, you and Crane. You guys knew each other?" Mei Ling smiled to herself. She knew sooner or later Viper would ask about it, it just seemed as something she would do.
"Yes. We have. We been really good friends since we were young," she responded. Viper nodded, grabbing another poster and putting it up in a different spot.
"That's nice. So, you guys aren't dating or-" Mei Ling cut her off with a smile.
"Okay Viper. Here's a secret, he left the academy before I could tell him how I felt. That's why I'm here, but now I just have to spend some alone time, you know?" the leopard explained. Viper squealed and her body did some sort of dance.
"That's so sweet! Gosh you guys are going to be adorable! Well of course Tigress and Po already have the couple spot in the team, but you guys are a nice second!" Mei Ling laughed. Viper smiled but before she could say anything she heard Daichi in the distance.
"Hye Mei ling, I will get you your alone time!" Before Mei Ling could question, Viper was already dragging her near the other group.
"Hey Daichi and Crane!" Viper smiled and let go of Mei Ling.
"I need a word with Daichi. So I'll leave you two alone!" Daichi was about to protest, but with a glare form Viper, he couldn't argue anymore. So once those two were off, Mei ling and Crane were left...and the leopard nervously smiled at him and began to speak...
"Why did you drag me away!?" Daichi protested once they were some blocks away. Viper just shook her head.
"Ughh boys. Can't you see she needed to have a private word with him?" Daichi just made a grimace.
"Don't tell me thet are going to get together," He said with a grim tone. Viper just giggled and nodded in reply. They continued to walk down the village since apparently both of the groups were done putting up the posters.
"Look over there. There's a huge crowd!" Viper motioned towards the center of the street were there were indeed a large group of people around something. There seemed to be a bit of music coming out.
"Lots of people in one place? Let's head the opposite direction." Daichi was starting to march away but Viper grabbed his wrists and dragged him along with her.
"Viper!" the snake just shushed him and continued to approached the show.
"Yay! There are dancers!" She let go and began to lightly move her body to the rithym of the melody. Daichi just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. It was frustrating how he always got tagged along to activites he never asked for. And what was in it for him? Nothing. Absolutely no-
He stopped when he saw her. He blinked and rubbed his eyes to make sure he was just dreaming.
"Viper Viper! Song is there!" the snake stopped and followed Daichi's gaze...Song was behind the group also dancing with that red parasol of hers. The snake squealed. The melody stopped and the dancers all vowed, getting washed over by a round of applause from the people. Moments after, the dancers started to gather their stuff and they all went to stroll to different areas. However, one of them was still there.
"Viper, you have to help me. I need to talk to her and-"
"Hey!" Viper greeted loudly. The feline looked up and smiled curiously at the snake. And then her smiled soften when she saw Daichi behind her.
"Hello." Viper smiled.
"My friend here wanted to ask you something, I hope you don't mind." Song shook her head and grabbed her parasol, taking a step forward.
"Not at all," she turned to him, "so what is it?" Daichi swallowed and rubbed the back of his neck. Then he shifted his weight and looked away from her face. Viper coughed to get his attention and with her tail she pointed at the feline, who was still waiting.
"Ummm...so...There's this festival tomorrow. You know, to celebrate the dragon warrior and this new group and me included, well technically I'm not but-" there was another cough by Viper and Daichi stopped rambling. "And anyway, I was wondering...if maybe, if you want- we could, of course you don't have to. So..." Viper face palmed herself.
"I would love to go to the festival with you! I'll see you at the bottom of the palace stairs tomorrow afternoon!" Song replied with a small giggle. She was so happy that she got to see him again...and that he asked her out! Well...that's what he meant to do in some way shape or form.
"Great thanks! I'll see you there!" Song waved at him and soon got called over by some other dancers. Daichi watched her walk away and he waited until she was out of earshot to speak. Once she was, he turned to Viper.
"Viper...THANK YOU! You are an angel!" Viper chuckled.
"I know." Daichi widen his eyes and looked at Viper.
"Vi, I hate to leave you alone but I need to buy some flowers for her and maybe necklace or write her a letter or something. So I'll see you back in the palace!" the lynx ran off and almost tripped when he was a few feet away. Viper just laughed and sighed.
"Now its just you Mei Ling."
Crane had his beak at a 90 degree angle. His eyes were staring straight at her and he was sure that his legs were trembling and they would break like some fragile crystal stick. There was a knot in his throat that kept him from forming any other words... But it was probably her face the thing that was unnerving. Mei Ling was just looking at him with those big eyes of hers and a small smile. She was expecting an answer. But what would he say... 'Oh I like you too but I never had the guts to say it!'
Gosh that would sound so stupid. And it seemed impossible that a girl like her actually liked him. Him! And that only made him question one thing,
"Is there something wrong with you?" he thought out loud. Mei Ling frowned, offended.
"Excuse me?" Crane shook his head and flapped his wings, one of them covering his face.
"Gosh, sorry. I didn't mean to say that...I meant like...why me? You could do so much better!" Mei Ling rolled her eyes.
"Crane, let's not go off track here. I just told you I like you as in more than a friend. Now you add on to it..." Crane nodded. She always made things easier than they really were.
"I like you too," he responded, his cheeks turning a deep scarlet. Mei Ling let out this high pitch squeal and embraced him in a hug.
"My question still stands though," Crane added as he also wrapped his wings around the girl. Mei Ling closed her eyes.
"There are tons of reasons, but let's just say there's something about you that its amazing and nobody else can even come close to it."
And that's it ladies and gentlemen! Hoped you lliked it and please leave your review...I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING IT EARLIER! Sorry...also...i can either move on to the festival...or have a fluffy chapter on Tigress and Po...you guys decide:) love you.
