After Po punched Tingfeng, he gets up and walks over to Tigress hugging her.

Tingfeng and his buddies run back to where the other kids are.

Shifu looks at Po and Tigress and ask "are you two okay?"

Po looks at Tigress and ask "are you okay?"

Tigress smiles "I'm fine, my Ying Yang cub."

Po looks at Master Shifu and smiles "we are fine Master."

Shifu walks back over to the orphanage going inside.

He walks inside the office to see Mrs. Zhi laying out the adoption papers and sighs "sorry about that, I had to go deal with three lions messing with my daughter."

Mrs. Zhi sighs "let me guess, Tingfeng and his two buddies? They never learn to leave Tigress alone. No matter what type of punishment they received."

Shifu smirks "why don't you have him and his buddies run around the Orphanage ten times every time he puts his hands on one of the kids?"

Mrs. Zhi smiles "I think I might just take that suggestion."

Shifu signs the papers and walk out of the office and out of the building. He sighs thinking 'now Tigress is officially his adopted daughter, now onto sleeping arrangements.

He walks over to the bench to see Po beating on Tingfeng and his buddy while Tigress is fighting the other lion kid.

He yells "Tingfeng!" And grabs him and snarls "I told you and your buddies to keep your hands off my daughter!"

Tingfeng snarls back "if I want to put my hands on someone for the fun of it, I will, even if it's Tigress!"

Shifu takes his right arm holds it behind his back force him on the floor and hits him with the nerve attack.

Mrs. Zhi comes out and ask him "what happened?"

Shifu smirks "Tingfeng here just announced that if he wants to put his hands on someone he will no matter how many times, you tell him to keep his hands off them."

Mrs. Zhi gasped at what Tingfeng just said.

Master Shifu and Mrs. Zhi walk away to discuss what type of punishment to give him.

Po on the other hand grabbed his arm and slammed it against the edge of the bench breaking his forearm in two.

Tingfeng screamed loud in pain getting the attention of everyone in the orphanage.

Po snarls "I dare you to put your hands on anyone else in this orphanage."

Mrs. Zhi yells "Po! That was inappropriate to purposely break his arm to teach him a lesson to keep his hands to himself."

Shifu sighs "Po let's go we're discuss your punishment for that broken arm tomorrow."

Master Shifu walks out of the orphanage heading to the Jade Palace.

Po and Tigress followed him through bamboo forest Tigress lays her head on his shoulder and whispers in his ear "I love you for defending me back there" in a sweet voice.

Po takes his right arm and wraps it around her waist and says "I will always be there for you Tigress, when you need me, your my girlfriend."

Tigress smiles at him nuzzling his neck while purring.

They reach the village and Po and Tigress break the embrace and walk closely to each other.

Shifu leads them up the thousand stairs.

Po and Tigress look at the stairs and say "that is alot of stairs to climb."

A half an hour later they reached the top of the thousand stairs to see a giant gate.

Shifu opens the doors to show them the Jade Palace, "Po, Tigress, welcome to the Jade Palace. Tomorrow we will begin basic training to train you both to become Kung Fu masters."

Po and Tigress marvel over the Palace. Zeng flew over to them and ask "are these the two recruits that will be learning Kung Fu?"

Shifu smiles "yes Zeng, these are the new recruits presenting Tigress, my daughter and Po her partner. Could you show them around the Palace and give them the last two rooms in barracks?"

Tigress ask "your not gonna show us around, baba?"

Shifu sighs "I have to go talk to Master Oogway, but when I'm done I'll come see how your doing."

Tigress sighs "okay baba." Zeng shows them to their quarters.

Po excited ask "this is where students sleep at?"

Zeng smiles "yes this is where the students sleep. We have eight rooms four on each side of the hallway. Master Shifu said to give you two the last two rooms. So Tigress, you'll be in the room on the left. Po, you'll be in the room right across from her."

Po smirks "see Tigress, I'll be right across from you, so you don't have to worry about anyone coming to attack you."

Po looks in his room to see a bed and dresser.

Tigress looks in her room to see a bed and a dresser with a candle on her nightstand.

After checking their rooms, Zeng ask them "are you two ready for the tour of the Jade Palace?"

Po and Tigress nod their heads and follow Zeng around the Palace.

Shifu followed them around and ask "Tigress? Po? What do you think of the Jade Palace?"

Tigress smiles "it's great place, baba."

Po smiles "it's really big Palace."

Shifu ask "Po, can you cook as good as your dad?"

Po nervously replies "not much I'm still in training with cooking."

Shifu sighs "then in the morning report to your dad's for training while I train Tigress and in the afternoon she can train you on what she learned. You both are free to do as you please for tonight."

Po and Tigress decide to go play tag.

After playing tag they decided to play a couple games of checkers.

Po won a game, then let Tigress win one.

For the tie breaker, Tigress won using a good strategy.

After the tie breaker they cleaned up the game and walked to the kitchen.

Master Shifu and Master Oogway was sitting at the table eating dumplings.

Shifu sighs "nice of you both to join us for dinner."

Tigress smiles "me and Po was playing a game of checkers."

Oogway looks at Shifu and ask "do you agree that it was a good idea to bring Po?"

Shifu sighs "I don't know if it was a good idea to bring Po here, even though he is the only one to be Tigress's other half."

Po ask "what do you mean by Tigress's other half?"

Oogway smiles "Tigress has a fiery spirit, short temper and dangerous to approach when she is angry and your the only one she will let near her."

Shifu sighs "now there is a rule here at the Jade Palace that boys and girls can't sleep in the same room, incase they try to mate."

Po sighs "yes master, but we've just started a friendly relationship right now that comfort each other, plus we would have to kiss each other to prove that we are in a relationship."

Shifu sternly says "well now that I adopted Tigress making her my daughter. There will be no sleeping with her in the same bed."

Tigress sighs "baba, couldn't you let that rule slide since we're only five years old?"

Shifu opens his mouth to speak when Oogway smiles "you two are cute together. How about this, Tigress, if you feel scared or cold at night, you can room with Po?"

Tigress smiles "thank you, Master Oogway."

Po and Tigress head to bed after having dinner.

Po smiles "goodnight Tigress, see you in the morning."

Tigress smiles "goodnight Po, see you in the morning."

They walk into their rooms to go to sleep.

Po lays down on his bed, laying on his side. Tigress lays down on her bed falling asleep.

Three hours later Tigress wakes up from her sleep wondering if it's safe here from Tingfeng.

She gets up and walks out of her room and over to Po's room.

She peeks inside to see him laying on his side and smiles.

She enters his room closing his door and walks over to his bed, climbing into it nestle her head in his arms and nuzzles his head going back to sleep.

Po sleeping on his side feels Tigress nestle her way in his arms and nuzzle him.

He tighten his arms a little in an embrace causing Tigress to purr.

She wraps her tail around his left leg.

Po nuzzles his head against her causing her purring to become louder.

She smiles in her sleep at Po's return affection.

Tigress licks Po's face. Both in their sleep thinking 'we're boyfriend and girlfriend'.

Next morning, the gong rung signaling the start of a new day.

Shifu walk down the hallway and stops in front of Po and Tigress's door.

He opens Tigress's door to see her bed empty and sighs knowing where she's at.

He turns around and opens Po's door to see Tigress snuggled in Po's arms, purring loudly.

He walks over to them and taps Tigress's shoulder saying "wake up Tigress, time to get up."

Tigress slowly opens her eyes yawning "good morning baba."

She turns her head and nudges Po's head saying "wake up Po." Po opens his eyes yawning "morning Tigress" and looks to notice that Master Shifu staring at them in their position.

He sighs "Tigress, Po, I thought I told you both, no sleeping in the same room after night?"

Po nervously replies "you did tell us that, but I think Tigress felt scared last night."

Shifu rubs his temple knowing that Po didn't ask Tigress to sleep with him "have breakfast, Po, you go to your dad's for training while Tigress, you will begin your training."

He walks out of the room to join Oogway for breakfast.

Po and Tigress soon follow after him to the kitchen to have breakfast.

Once they arrive at the kitchen, Oogway ask them "how was your first night here?"

Po smiles "I slept good."

Tigress smiles "I slept good knowing that my panda bear was holding me."

Po blushes at her comment.

The chef brings out bowls of dumplings for them to have breakfast.

They talk about things in the past about how they met each other.

Shifu gasped "so you two been sleeping like that for three days to comfort her at night?"

Tigress sighs "pretty much."

Oogway smiles "you two are both Ying and Yang. Destin to stand by each other's side through the end of time."

Tigress walks with Master Shifu to the training hall while Po heads down into the village to train in cooking from his dad.

Afternoon finally came and Po left to head back to the Jade Palace.

Half an hour later, he arrives at the top of the thousand steps and can hear noises coming from the training hall.

He walks inside the training hall and stands by Master Shifu watching Tigress train on dummy trainer.

When she punched it, it flew across the training hall.

Po smiles "that was cool."

Shifu gasped "Po? You all done training with cooking?"

Po smiles "yes Master Shifu."

Shifu sighs "okay, you can try training on the training toy."

Po and Tigress work on their stances learning Kung Fu leg kick, practice the splits.

After two hours of exercises, Shifu calls it a day and gives them the rest of the evening off.

Po and Tigress leave to walk around the Palace and play tag.

After chasing each other around they walk to Heavenly Peach Tree of Wisdom to watch the sunset together.

Tigress sighs "I enjoy our alone time together." Po smiles "so do I Tigress."

Oogway and Shifu watch them at the Peach tree and says "you shouldn't worry about Tigress being violated. Po would never violate her."

Oogway smiles "I'm going to the Hall of Heroes to meditate."

Shifu smiles "I'll head off to bed after telling them something."

Oogway smiles "just don't push them away from each other, it would cause only sadness."

Shifu sighs walking over to the Peach Tree where Po and Tigress are.

Po and Tigress lay on the ground watching the sunset.

Tigress rest her head on Po's shoulder enjoying their moment alone together.

She breathed in sync with Po when her ear twitches signaling that someone is coming.

She gets up followed by Po to see Master Shifu and bow to him.

Shifu smiles at them "I was getting ready to go to bed. I just wanted to say don't stay up late and in the morning, be up and out your doors in the hallway to greet me when the gong rings."

Po and Tigress smile "yes Master, we will try to get the hang of waking up to the morning gong."

Shifu smiles "one more thing before I go, Po you can't court my daughter until she turns fourteen. Meaning no kissing or sneaking off to have a date. After she turns fourteen then you can court her."

Tigress ask "can I still cuddle with him at night because I sleep better that way?"

Shifu thinks about it and says "if you both can wake up in time for the morning gong, but the gong rings twice. So you have until the second one to step outside of your room."

Po and Tigress smile "goodnight Master Shifu."

Shifu smiles "goodnight Po and Tigress."

Shifu walks down the path to the Jade Palace and inside to his room going to sleep.

Po and Tigress decide to head to bed as well. They walk down the path to the Jade Palace heading into barracks to their rooms.

Po opens his door, walking inside followed by Tigress. Po closes his door, laying on his bed.

Tigress climbs on his bed cuddling in his arms purring softly, wrapping her tail around his left leg.

She thinks about what Shifu said about no kissing and thinking about what the feeling of kissing feels like.

Po tighten his arms around her waist more.

She snuggles in deeper breathing in his scent while purring loudly.

She licks his face saying "goodnight" to Po.

Po blushes from being licked by Tigress and says "goodnight kitten" giving her face a lick.

Tigress mews at being licked shocking Po for a second.

Tigress smiles and nuzzles Po's neck feeling like being loved.

Po whispers "I love you Tigress."

Tigress whispers "I love you too, Po."

Tigress whispers "I wonder what they call two animals that love each other?"

Po smiles "I think they call them mates, but we would have to talk with Shifu or my dad."
