After having lunch, Tigress decides to do her punishment and begins to walk down the thousand steps.
Po decides to join her.
As they did their laps on the thousand steps Tigress ask "Po, what do you think of Viper as a friend?"
Po smiles "she's okay as a friend and nice."
Tigress sighs "do you like her more than a friend?"
Po looks at her and ask "are you jealous of Viper?"
Tigress sternly replies "I'm not jealous of Viper."
Po stops jogging up the stairs and stands there.
Tigress stops jogging up the stairs and ask him "are you tired after jogging two laps?"
Po shakes his head "no."
Tigress stands in front of him and ask "Po, what is it?"
Po looks at her and rush in to kiss her lips causing her to mew in surprise.
He wraps his arms around her waist while she stands there in shock.
After he breaks the kiss, he whispers in her ear "you don't have to worry about me falling for another girl because I'm already in love with you kitten."
Tigress blushes deeply and hugs him while purring softly.
They go back to finishing their laps on the stairs.
When they finished, they decided to take Viper to the village to show her the village.
Po and Tigress walk with Viper around the village showing her the villagers.
Viper smiles at the shops "the people are so nice here."
Po smiles "they sure are nice."
Viper decides to ask Po "do you like any girls from this village?"
Po smiles "actually me and Tigress are ordered not to date until we turn fourteen but unofficially we are like dating."
Viper ask "you two are dating?"
Tigress smiles "yes, but I'm still not taking an easy on sparring with him."
Viper sighs "that's nice, do you two kiss alot when Master Shifu isn't around you two?"
Tigress blushes "we've only exchanged eight kisses between me and Po."
Viper smiles "have you two went on a date yet?"
Po looks at Tigress and smiles "just one if you can consider visiting my dad."
Viper smiles "good for you two."
They head back to the Jade Palace.
Tigress smiles "me and Po defeated Boar, who was going around China defeating Masters and robbing villagers."
Viper gasp "you two face Boar?"
Po smiles "yep, we sure did."
They arrived at the Jade Palace for dinner.
Shifu and Oogway walk inside the kitchen to see Po preparing dinner.
Shifu sighs looking at Po making dinner for them and worry about how Tigress will take the news.
When Po pours two bowls of soup and lays them on the table for Tigress and Viper.
He sees Master Shifu and Master Oogway walk in and smiles "how was your day masters?"
Oogway chuckles at Po and says "your going to be a great Warrior to defend the Valley of Peace and those you love dearly."
Po smiles "thank you Master Oogway. What would you and Master Shifu like to have for dinner?"
Oogway smiles "I'll have noodle soup with a couple of bean buns."
Shifu smiles "I'll have the same and Po, I'm sorry to say this, but your father requested that you join him on a trip to trades tips for his noodle restaurant for three weeks."
Tigress looks at Shifu and ask "what do you mean Mr. Ping requested Po to travel for three week?"
Shifu sighs "I'm sorry that this had to happen, but I couldn't say no to him. So Po I will bring you four scrolls to work on for three weeks, is that understood?"
Po sighs "yes Master."
Po pours two more bowls for Shifu and Oogway and lays out a plate of bean buns for them.
As they ate their dinner, Tigress ate her dinner slowly feeling sad.
Po stole a couple of glances of her facial expression wondering how she is feeling.
After she finished her dinner, Tigress excused herself from the kitchen and runs off to her room.
Po stays with the master to chat with them for another ten minutes then excuses himself to go check on Tigress.
Viper tells him "good night" and goes to her room to sleep.
Po cracks the door to see Tigress laying on her bed, but hears sniffles coming from her and whispers "Tigress" to himself.
So he looks behind to see no one and goes inside her room shutting the door behind him.
He walks over to the bed laying down beside her wrapping his arms around her stomach.
Tigress turns around to see Po and wraps her arms around him nuzzling his neck while purring softly.
Po massages her back for little bit until he hears lite breathing meaning she fell asleep.
He begins to separate her paws from around his back when she tightens her grip around his back and sighs knowing she won't let go.
So he closes his eyes going to sleep too.
He kisses her forehead whispering "goodnight" to her.
Tigress lifts her head up to look at him for a second and kisses his lips deeply.
Po eases into the kiss getting lost in the moment of passion kissing her while massaging her back.
After the kiss she nestled her head in his chest going back to sleep.
Next morning the first gong rings waking Tigress up from her sleep.
She yawns sleepy and unwraps her arms from around Po's back.
She wakes Po up and tells him to go change in his room.
Po leaves her room to go to his room to change. The second gong rings and Viper, Tigress, and Po step outside their rooms to greet Master Shifu "good morning Master."
Shifu smiles "good morning students. Have breakfast, then train until lunch time and your free for the rest of the evening. Po report to your dad's restaurant for the trip."
Po sighs "yes Master, I'll see you all in three weeks."
They follow Shifu down the hallway.
Po calls Tigress's name to get her attention.
Tigress turns around to face Po and ask "what is it my yin-yang-"
Po kisses her lips wrapping his arms around her waist causing her to moan in the kiss while purring.
Viper smiles at seeing them kissing.
Shifu clears his throat to get their attention.
Tigress wraps her arms around his neck deepening the kiss.
Shifu clears his throat a second time to get their attention.
Po breaks the kiss for them to breathe.
Tigress blushes at being kissed in front of her father by her boyfriend.
Po smiles "I'll be back in three weeks."
Po follows them to the kitchen to make them breakfast.
While Po was working on cooking breakfast, Tigress wraps her arms around his waist resting her head on his back purring softly.
Po sighs "Tigress, how am I going to cook breakfast if your hanging on me?"
Tigress smiles "you will just have to figure out how to cook with me hugging you."
Po sighs "okay Tigress" and continues cooking breakfast. Five minutes later breakfast is made.
Po calls her to let go of him.
She sighs deeply hugging Po.
Po turns around to see she is nearly asleep again and rubs her back causing her to purr happily.
He walks her to her seat and trys to wake her up but she still won't open her eyes.
So he sighs and tickles her sides causing her to start laughing.
She grabs his hands to stop him from tickling her.
He wonders if this idea would work and gently kisses her lips causing her eyes to shoot open at him kissing her lips.
He unwraps her arms from around his back.
She smiles at the affection from him.
Po sits next to her eating pancakes.
Viper smiles at what just took place between Po and Tigress.
Shifu's eye twitches from Po waking Tigress up with a light kiss.
Oogway smiles at the couple.
After breakfast Po gives Tigress a kiss on the cheek and says "I'll be back in three weeks."
Tigress in return wrapped her arms around his back and kissing his lips, moaning in the kiss.
Po breaks the kiss and kisses her forehead.
Po leaves the Jade Palace to go to his father's restaurant.
Once he walked inside the restaurant, Mr. Ping smiles at him and ask "are you ready for the three week long trip?"
Po sighs "no, I really don't want to go on this trip with you."
Mr.Ping sighs "I know you wanted to stay at the Jade Palace, but I needed your help with this trip."
Po and his father travel to the northern mountain village.
(At the Jade Palace)
Tigress and Viper train on the training course.
Shifu and Oogway watched them train until it was lunch time.
Viper ask Tigress "how are you coping with Po gone?"
Tigress sighs "I'll be fine for now."
Shifu sighs "well since Po is gone, I want to tell you both that we will be getting three more students over the next two weeks."
Tigress sighs "great more students to look after in battles."
Shifu replies in angry tone "Tigress they will be your team members!"
Tigress walks out of the training hall going to the barracks.
Viper sighs "what is wrong with her now?"
Shifu sighs "Po is gone, so she feels angry."
Oogway sighs "don't worry about her attitude. It's only for a three weeks."
Shifu sighs "and that's what got me worried."
Viper sighs "I don't think I could take her attitude for a three weeks."
(Northern Mountain Village)
Mr. Ping was trading recipes with a noodle shop chef while Po was helping in the kitchen.
After Ping finished talking to the chef, someone in and yelled "bandits are attacking a restaurant."
Po smiles and runs out of the noodle restaurant running to commotion.
Bandit 1: "give us your money or we will beat you."
The chef whimpers "leave now, we don't serve your kind."
Bandit 2: smirks "then I guess we will just beat y-"
Everyone gasped at seeing a panda punch the second bandit in the head sending him into a wall unconscious.
Bandit 3 ask "who are you panda?"
Po exclaims "I am master Po of the Jade Palace and I defend the Valley of Peace from criminals."
The two bandits attack Po trying to beat him.
Po grab bandit 1's arm and spin his arm around and threw him into a table breaking it to pieces.
Bandit 3 runs away and yells "our friends will be back to take away everyone you love."
Po smiles "bring it on bandits! I can take on many of you!"
The bandit runs away from the village.
Po smiles satisfied with defeating two bandits.
Chef gasped and ask "Master Po, do you know what you just sign yourself up for?"
Po ask "what do you mean by that?"
The chef sighs "that bandit is one of twenty bandits in a gang that terrorizes us."
Po gapped "one-one of twenty?"
Chef sighs "yes and they will go after anyone you care about."
Po whispers "dad" and leaves running to the restaurant that his father was at.
Once Po returned to his dad, he sighs wondering how to protect those he cares about, thinking of an idea.
Mr. Ping gasped "Po, you ripped your shirt."
Po sighs "maybe it's time I stop wearing shirts in battles."
Mr. Ping sighs "no son, let's go buy you a new shirt."
Mr. Ping and Po leave to go to the clothing shop to find Po a new shirt.
While looking through the clothes, Po finds a hooded vest similar to Tigress's training shirts but instead of patterned design, it had a dragon design wrapped around Yin and Yang symbol.
On the back had words stitched 'Furious as a tiger'.
Po trys it on and it fits perfectly.
Po walks over to the store clerk and ask "how much is this hoodie?"
The clerk looks at the hoodie and says "I thought I gave this to a Kung Fu Master to display in their hall of Warriors."
Po ask "what do you mean?"
The clerk looks at him and says "this hoodie was designed to represent two legendary Warriors, that worked in perfect sync forming the Yin and Yang symbol.
One was called the Dragon Warrior, the other was a tiger of hard style Kung Fu. Thousands years of their legendary story."
Po's eyes widened and ask "did you say the legendary Warriors of Yin and Yang were the Dragon Warrior and Master of hard style Kung Fu?"
The clerk smiles "yes, why?"
Po smiles "no wonder why me and Tigress are in sync with each other. Why I am the ice to cool Tigress's firey spirit, we find comfort in each other. Oogway calls us Yin and Yang."
Po smiles at the clerk "I'll take the hoodie and defend the Valley of Peace."
The clerk sighs "good luck with that"
Po puts on the hoodie and leaves with his father.
Mr. Ping sighs "Po, are you sure about becoming a protector of the Valley of Peace?"
Po smiles "yes dad, I'm very sure about this."
Mr. Ping and Po walk to the noodle restaurant to have dinner.
After dinner, Po puts on the hoodie and leaves to go petrol the streets.
He finds a couple of bandits sneaking into a clothing and says "time to defend this village."
Po yells "surrender now or face the wrath of THE Dragon Warrior!"
Bandits turn around to see a panda wearing a hoodie with a dragon around the Yin and Yang symbol and says "is that the Dragon Warrior that died years ago?"
Bandits attack Po, but Po beat them all up leaving them unconscious.
After knocking them unconscious he goes inside the clothing shop and grabs some string and ties their hands together.
