Po and Tigress were putting up the remaining posters they had. The job was more enjoyable than they thought, but mostly it was because they spend the whole time talking to each other and forgetting about how putting up those posters was their duty and not just a side activity.

"Annndddd That's the last one!" Po exclaimed as soon as they finished pasting it. Tigress nodded, her eyes registering for a missed spot on their part of the village. Already had they heard bunnies and other families beginning to make plans to go. And while it made Tigress nervous, Po got more excited everytime he heard murmurs.

"So, what now?" Tigresss asked as she leaned against the wall. Po seem to ponder then smirked at her.

"Well... we got some time to ourselves... so maybe we can go to..." he stopped and started to brainstorm places that didn't involved food.

"Shadow theater!" He exclaimed, smiling widely at her. Tigress chuckled and shook her head.

"Shadow theater? Po, I don't think that's your... style," she answered with one small smirk. Po only pretended to frown at her, and then pout.

"Besides, is not nighttime yet," Tigress added. Po smiled.

"Then we can go walk around and get something to eat, and then we can go to the theater!" Tigress chuckled and pecked his lips.

"Well panda, lead the way." Po exchanged a smile with her before leading her away.

And while those two were relaxing, Daichi was panicking. Running from one side to another. Gosh what was he even supposed to do with his time? The day didn't seem to move fast enough, and well, he just wanted to see her again. Was that too much to ask? Apparently it was.

He searched through his room, hoping to find something that might distract him for what? 20 hours? Even Shifu wasn't around. Now that was bad luck. He fell into his bed, sighing. Why was this so frustrating? At least the sun was starting to make its way down, that was a start. Daichi was most surely was going to blame Tigress and Viper for his impatience and boredom.

At least you got her something, he told himself. Then he chuckled. No he didn't , well he did. But looking at the bracelet that was stuffed in his pocket, he now realized how bad at picking jewelry he was. Not like he had any previous practice though.

He groaned,

19 hours and 50 minutes to go.

"Po, we are not doing that." Tigress crossed her arms. As much as she loved the panda, she wasn't going to play out his crazy idea.

"Come on, you just heard the kids. They need some more pupeteers!"

"And you suggest we take their roles? No thank you." Po only tugged at her hand, his thumb tracing circles on her palm.

"Okay Ti, if you are so uncomfortable doing that, then we won't do it. But you know, I was just going to challenge you to see who could do it better, I guess-"

"Wait, challenge me?" she asked with a chuckle. Po only raised his eyebrows, shrugging.

"You are on panda."

Tigress rushed to the stage, or you know, behind the stage. She spoke politely to one of the women there before being handed her own shadow puppet. She shot a smug glance towards Po, who only stuck out his tongue and got his own shadow puppet.

And the play began.

Tigress already knew the intricate and coordinated job that had to be put into these plays, however Po was shocked to witness the patience and delicate touch each person displayed. He almost chuckled, afterall he was having such a hard time moving his own.

yet, unlike Tigress, he already knew how much fun it was to participate on this events. He used to do it when he was much younger. On the other hand Tigress couldn't believe the good time she was having, how come she didn;'t know about earlier? Gosh, she would have loved this as a child.

When the play ended, all of the crew was met my applause. It felt satisfying. Tigress stood up and and thanked them while Po stood behind her, also politely waving thanks to them. As they walked out, hand in hand, Tigress leaned her head against his shoulder. He wasn't much taller than her, so she could comfortable do that while walking as well. She wondered if he would be taller in the future, or maybe she will be the one who will be taller? She smiled, the future seemed so far out.

For the time she realized, she was actually happy with her present.

"You know, I love you," she whispered, loud enough for him to hear. Po smiled, he would never stop comtemplating those words and how satisfied and happy and complete they made him feel.

"I love you too."
