Hey all! Aren't you all lucky getting a double upload from me in a day. I had this finished last week but saved it for today. We all like having new stories to read to start our week, right?

This is a random song-fic I thought of about 6 weeks ago. I've said this before, but sometimes you hear a song and you think "that's made for a TiPo song-fic"... so here we are. When I first thought of writing a story to include this dong in, I honestly had no idea what to write. I spent maybe the first week just changing the lyrics. I literally made up the story as I wrote it. While I was only intended on having it as a 2000, maybe 2500 words story, I was not expecting it to be close to 5000 words, but sometimes that happens.

Some details about the song:

The song used is "She's Everything" by Brad Paisley. Anyone here know of Brad Paisley? Or listens to his music?
If you would like to listen to the song, here's the YouTube link ( watch?v=JCjXaEbrLdw).

I have changed several lines of the original song, to make it a bit more related. You can still listen to the song to get the feel of the song, and listen to the original lyrics. Hopefully the lyrics I changed do work. I think it does, I listened to the song hundreds of times while going over the lyrics.

Disclaimer 2: The song was written and recorded by Brad Paisley (who is an awesome artist)

Alright... let's get into the story.

Please Read, Review, and Enjoy!

She's Everything

It was a warm summer's day in the Valley of Peace. The villagers were out and about, enjoying the warmth of the sun that blazed down on them. The valley was as pristine as it had always looked, with mountain peaks soaring high against the crystal blue skies. Anyone who stepped into the valley would find it very difficult to leave. While the villagers enjoyed their daily strolls around the village, up at the Jade Palace, the six warriors were currently in the training hall, going through their morning drills.

It had become second nature who everyone sparred against. Crane and Viper would spar, while Mantis and Monkey buddied up, only to annoy everyone as they messed around. However, none of these masters were sparring, or messing around, at the time. The spectacle unfolding between Po and Tigress captivated these masters. What fascinated them was how intimate their sparring had become. The two masters appeared to be getting close and personal, yet neither seemed uncomfortable by the intimacy of their sparring.

A few months had passed since the events of Kai, and for some time now, everyone was growing more optimistic that Po and Tigress would become a couple, as had long been destined. Instead, they carried on with their friendship, but were far more intimate than your typical friendship. To anyone who didn't know Po and Tigress, it would surprise them to discover they weren't a couple. At first glance, they appear to act like a married couple, but aren't. Despite the close physical intimacy that the two masters shared, it had never boiled over… at least, not yet, anyway.

Unknown to Tigress, Po had planned for some time to confess, as he knew there was more to their relationship. He just wanted to wait for the right moment to arise. Today, after weeks of preparation, Po planned on making the move. With the assistance of Crane and Viper, they had helped Po create an idea for him to execute his confession. Po had planned on having a morning sparring session with Tigress to get her exhilarated, as she usually gets during trainings, before taking her to the Sacred Peach Tree in the afternoon, where he would play a song he wrote for her. The peach tree held countless memorable moments for the two masters. It was a place they relied upon to seek peace and comfort. It was where their friendship began, the place that seemed to strengthen their friendship, and now Po hoped it would be the place that signified the birth of their courtship… if everything went as planned. But sometimes life loves to throw a curveball to mess everything up, or so it seems.

Back to the sparring. Things began heating up between Po and Tigress. While neither was trying to cause harm, they were not holding back either. One wrong move, and they would pay for it. To the other masters, it was not surprising to see personal space between Po and Tigress become non-existent. However, they were certain that if things were to continue on the current path, they wouldn't want to be in the training hall when things boiled over. Not because it would turn into a full-scale fight, they could handle that, but because… well, it may turn into something they'd rather not witness.

As the two masters continued to spar in what seemed like a dance routine, things took a turn. Po took a step back and lost his footing. While falling backwards, Po grabbed onto Tigress' arm, pulling her down on top of him. Po, not being able to brace himself, landed on his back as the force of the fall caused their muzzles to collide together. Without thinking, Tigress jumped out of the position and swiped at Po. It was just instinct, as she was not expecting their muzzles to collide, and before she could stop herself, she knew what she had done. Tigress' swipe had connected with Po's muzzle, leaving two distinctive claw marks across the top of his snout. Po winced at the pain and clutched at his snout while Tigress jumped off Po and backed away, looking in horror at her sheathed claws. "Po… I'm sorry."

Tigress couldn't believe what she had just done. She had hurt Po and betrayed the special bond they shared. Tigress became infuriated at herself. Po looked up and saw the distress and anger in Tigress' eyes. "Tigress, it's okay. It was an accident."

When Tigress looked up at Po, her eyes fell upon the two claw marks on Po's nose. It caused flashbacks to her time at the orphanage when she hurt a friend, leaving them with a broken arm. Everyone started called her 'a monster', and now, she's hurt another friend. Not just any friend, but Po. Her best friend, her companion… and as much as she hates to admit it, her soulmate. The last thought caused a spike of anger to flood through her blood. She had hurt the one she vowed to protect. Tigress backed away from the scene. "I'm a monster."

Po tried to reach out to Tigress, but he was too slow. "TIGRESS! WAIT!" Po's pleas fell on deaf ears. Tigress had fled the training hall. Po knew, as did the other masters, that what just happened was a mere accident. Perhaps it wasn't an accident, but rather a series of events that would lead to something far more significant. But for now, things looked dire.

Crane walked over to Po. "Are you okay, Po?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just… what can I do?"

Crane and Viper glanced at each other, knowing what Po was referring to. "Do what you do best, Po," Viper said.

Po looked at Viper, confused. "What's that?"

"Whenever Tigress is feeling down, you're always the one to bring her up. When she's sad, you make her smile again. Po, right now, Tigress thinks she's betrayed you. She'll be upset thinking she's ruined the friendship because of what she did, and I know for a fact that she means a lot to you, doesn't she?"

Po half-smiled as he looked down at the floor. "She's everything to me. I'm nothing without her."

"Then go show her how much she means to you."

Po looked up at Viper and Crane. "How do I… you know… what I had planned after what just happened?"

Viper smiled. "She needs you right now, Po. After you comfort her, tell her I need to see her, and ask her to come back at dusk."

"Yeah, okay. I'll try that, but if I don't return, just assume that she's either thrown me off the cliff or… we're busy up there."

Viper shook her head while Crane looked clueless. "I don't get it. Busy doing what?" Po and Viper both stared at Crane, but Crane still didn't put two and two together. "What?" After a few moments, it clicked in Crane's head. "Ooooh… right. Okay. That's a little disturbing. I'm just gonna… go."

Po and Viper watched as Crane shuffled out of the training hall, visibly disturbed by his mental images, before Viper turned to Po. "You should go, Po. Don't waste this opportunity."

"I won't, but when you see Tigress back here, could you just preoccupy her until dusk? Like, take her to the valley or something?"

Viper smiled and nodded. "Of course, Po. Now go!"

Tigress was slumped on the ground, leaning against the Peach Tree with her head buried within her arms. She couldn't understand why she had struck out at Po like that. It was just so unexpected that Tigress reacted that way when in reality she had been longing for the day that chance came about. Now, it happened by accident, and instead of utilising the opportunity, she went and hurt her best friend. She had gone and ruined their friendship. Destroyed the close, intimate bond they had created over the years. She truly felt like a monster.

Po had never meant for that to happen. But why did their muzzles have to collide together? Had she fallen onto his shoulder or chest, it would be a completely different story, but that's not the case. They had kissed. It was unintentional, but it stunned the tiger so much that she struck out. Had Tigress not been so angry at herself, she may have realised that Po would never have thought for a second that she was a monster. For Tigress to see her best friend in pain because of her, it hurt.

Fortunately for Tigress, she was dealing with the one person who has never given up on her over all these years. From the moment they met, he had never questioned her actions. Since Po's had the chance to get to know Tigress so intimately, Po has never looked back. Just when Tigress thought she had ruined something so great between her and Po, little did she realise it had created the opportunity for something far greater to come of it. Something she couldn't have possibly imagined.

"Tigress?"

The voice that Tigress was so familiar with snapped her out of her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw Po standing there with a smile on his face. That vanished upon seeing the fur on Tigress' face was damp. Po could tell she was distraught. Tigress couldn't even look at Po. "What do you want, Po?"

Po approached Tigress and sat down next to her, putting his arm around her. Even though Po's touch made her feel a little better, she still couldn't bring herself to look at Po, as she knew the moment she'd see the marks on his nose, she'd become angry. "I'm not angry about what happened, Tigress."

"How can you forgive me so easily, Po? I hurt you!"

"Because I know you didn't do it on purpose. Besides, it doesn't change how I feel about you."

Po clasped his mouth with his paws, realising that he may have said too much. As for Tigress, she picked up that Po had said more than he intended, causing her to glance at Po, astonished. "W-what do you mean, Po?"

"I… um, I wanna tell you something, but not now."

Tigress felt a sense of disappointment wash over her. She thought she may have misunderstood what Po meant, but she was hoping to be wrong. "Po-"

Po placed a finger on her lips, stopping her from talking. "Can you meet me back here just after dusk?"

Tigress looked at Po, confused. "Why?"

"I… I've sorta got a surprise for you."

Tigress couldn't help but smile at Po's nervousness. Her instincts were telling her that whatever Po had planned was something he had been working on for a while, and she couldn't let him down again. "If you insist."

"Thank you. Don't be angry about what happened, okay?"

Po tightened his hold on Tigress, allowing her to rest on his chest. With the warm sun beating down on them, mixed in with the cool, gentle breeze, Tigress felt herself become drowsy. As hard as she tried to fight, her body snuggled closer into Po's soft fur before closing her eyes and dozing off. The two snuggled against one another, leaning on the peach tree, when Po remembered what he had to do before dusk. He didn't want to break this moment, but he needed enough time to pull off what he had in mind. Po sat there calculating how much time he could give up to remain like this, as he didn't want to let go of Tigress in fear she wouldn't come back, but he dashed those thoughts away. He knew she wouldn't disappoint him, and after much consideration, he knew that with the help of Crane, the two could transform the Sacred Peach Tree into the platform that Po had envisioned.

Po glanced down and couldn't help but smile at the sleeping tiger in his arms. As much as Po didn't want to, he needed to get to action. "Tigress?"

Tigress stirred from her slumber. "Hmm?"

"I think Viper wanted to see you."

Tigress lifted her head off Po's chest and looked up at Po. "Are you trying to get rid of me?"

Po chuckled. "Yes, but all for a good reason."

Tigress smiled as she looked away, trying to hide the blush forming on her face. "You better not leave me disappointed."

Po laughed as Tigress stood up and left the Peach Tree. To see Tigress walking with a jump in her stride made Po smile to himself. He knew things were gonna be alright. Once Tigress was out of sight, Po raced back to the student barracks in search of Crane. It didn't take long for Po to find Crane, as he was in his room doing some calligraphy. Crane looked up, hearing the disturbance outside of his room, and saw a panting Po scrambling into his room. "Hey, Po! What's going on? Are you being chased by Tigress?"

Po shook his head as he regained his breath. "Nah… I just need your help?"

"With what, Po? I assume you and Tigress are okay now?"

"Yeah, we're good. Um… you remember what I had planned?"

"Oh… what do you need me to do?"

"Could you get the musicians from the Musicians' Village and bring them to the Peach Tree?"

Crane saluted Po with his wing. "On it, Po! I'll meet you there!"

After Crane flew out of the student barracks, Po went to gather the bag of lanterns he had hidden in his room before taking them up to the Peach Tree. Po had spent the past few months collecting well over three hundred lanterns to be used for this night, which Po had long planned. Once Po was up at the Peach Tree, he placed the lanterns around the ledges surrounding the peach tree, to act as a barrier before walking down the steps and placing lanterns on every second step. It was a lot of hard work, but Po knew the outcome would be well worth it.

Once Po had finished lining the steps with lanterns, he went back to his room to gather the second and final bag of lanterns. Po wanted to line the Peach Tree with these lanterns to create a mesmerising vibe. He knew it would feel very romantic, but it felt perfect for the occasion. Po dragged the bag of lanterns, and himself, up the steps to the Peach Tree. Upon reaching the top, Po fell onto his back, panting. Just as Po was regaining his breath, he heard the flapping of wings in the distance, signalling that Crane was coming down with the villagers. Po pushed himself off the ground just as Crane landed on the ledge, with three villagers and their instruments tied to him. Crane set the villagers down before walking over to Po. "Hey, Po! Are you all set?"

"Almost. I just need to place these lanterns in the Peach Tree."

"Why don't you let me do that, so you don't have to climb the tree. You can run through the song with the musicians, then."

Po smiled. "Alright, that sounds like a plan. Thanks, Crane." Crane bowed before grabbing the bag of lanterns and placing them under the Peach Tree. As Crane started decorating the Peach Tree with lanterns, Po walked over to the musicians, who were setting up their instruments on the platform that Po had designated. "You guys are incredibly awesome for doing this. I cannot thank you enough. In fact, I'll treat you to a free meal."

The musicians, a pig, and two rabbits, bowed in respect. "It is our privilege to take part in such a majestic event for the Dragon Warrior. We are truly honoured you have come to us for our musical requirements."

"You guys truly are awesome! You're welcome to run through the song once you've set up. We need this night to be perfect."

The musicians smiled, hearing the nervousness in Po's voice. "Fear not, Dragon Warrior. We will make this the perfect night for you and the one you love."

Po blushed, hearing them refer to Tigress as the one he loves. "Po, all the lanterns have been used. I think the place is set," Crane said, walking over to where Po stood.

Po turned around, resulting in his jaw dropping wide open, seeing the magnificent decorations that Crane had done. "That looks amazing, Crane. Thank you!"

A pair of arms surprised Crane by wrapping him up in a bear hug. "Oh… no worries, buddy!" Po let go of Crane and stepped back. "I think you better get prepared. There's not long left until dusk."

Po glanced over the valley, noticing that the sun was touching the distant mountains, signifying that dusk was beginning. "Alright, you know the deal, Crane. When you see Tigress coming up the steps, let me know."

Crane nodded. "Good luck, buddy!"

Before Po could say anything, Crane flew off to a nearby peak that Po could see. Crane would flap his wings, alerting Po that Tigress was approaching. That was Po's cue to begin the intro of the song. Po turned to the musicians, who stood ready. "Okay, guys. When Crane alerts us, that's our signal to begin the intro of the song. Just keep playing it over and over until I'm set. I want Tigress to hear the music as she's walking up here."

The musicians smiled and bowed to Po. "We wait for your word, Dragon Warrior."

Po smiled before he looked out and waved at Crane, who was nested on a distant peak. Crane waved back, confirming that they could see each other. Po looked out at the sunset, while controlling his breathing, before he took a few moments to scan the setup he had created. Thanks to Crane's help. It looked picturesque, with the lanterns lining the steps, along the cliff ledges and within the Peach Tree. Po feared it was too much and might overwhelm Tigress, but hopefully it would show her just how far he's willing to go to make her happy. When Po was in deep thoughts, a breeze blew across the Peach Tree causing him to look up and see Crane flapping his wings. Po raised his arm, showing he had seen Crane. The time had come. Tigress was on her way. Po turned to the musicians. "Alright, guys. It's time to start playing."

As the sun set below the distant mountains, Tigress made her way to meet Po at the Peach Tree. The setup that Po had created amazed her. Every second step had a lantern on either side. As Tigress was walking up the steps, her ears picked up the sound of a gentle melody being played. To the ears, it was so hypnotizing that it drew you towards the source of the music. When Tigress walked up the last few steps, what she saw was breath-taking. She couldn't believe Po had gone to such trouble just for her. To say Tigress was speechless is an understatement. This was far more than what she expected.

Po had lanterns scattered throughout the Peach Tree, illuminating the tree glamorously. More lanterns were lined along the edges of the cliff, while underneath the Peach Tree stood three villagers with their instruments. As Tigress was looking around, Po approached Tigress with his paw extended out. Tigress reached out and grabbed Po's paw, before Po led Tigress towards the Peach Tree. As they were walking under the Peach Tree, hundreds of fireflies landed on the Peach Tree and began oscillating their bioluminescent lights, creating a breath-taking scene that neither Po nor Tigress could take their eyes off.

Po sat Tigress down and walked over to take his spot next to the musicians. "I don't think this needs an introduction, but if I must say anything, every word I say comes from the heart." Po placed a paw over his heart, causing Tigress to blush, before Po started performing his song for her.

[Po]
She's a blazing pair of stunning eyes
With her cute little muzzle
She looks great in her golden hanfu
She looks great in anything
She's: "I wanna spar with you, panda"
"Take me dancing somewhere"
She's: "I wanna fight some bandits"
Now and then, she's moody
She's a stroll across the valley
With her orange hair a-blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving

And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her
I go on and on, and on
'Cause she's everything to me

She's as hardcore as anything
And as gentle as a soft breeze blowing
She's the light to my heart
And the fire to my soul
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby, come and kiss me
She's got the heart of an angel
And she's feisty like a tiger
She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my pocket
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the paw that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayers
And she's the song that I'm playing

And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her
I go on and on, and on
'Cause she's everything to me

~~{Music}~~

Po walked over to Tigress and pulled her up from the spot she was sitting. Under the Peach Tree, he brought her to the centre, where they waltzed around in a circle slowly. Tigress rested her head against Po's shoulder as Po continued to sing.

She's the voice I'd love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Every day that passes
I only love her more (Po looks into Tigress' eyes)
Yeah, she's the one that I'd lay down my own life for

Tigress smiled and laid her head back down into Po's shoulder as they continued to dance around in a circle while Po sang the last part of the song.

And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah, she's everything to me
Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
Yeah, she's everything to me

Po and Tigress continued to waltz around in a circle, holding each other close as the musicians softly played the last chords of the song. Seeing the panda and tiger as they were, the musicians resumed playing the music to accompany the two that were dancing around one another. After a few minutes, the musicians finished playing the song, allowing Po and Tigress to have this moment to themselves. Po glanced down at Tigress, who had her head buried in his shoulder, with her eyes closed. Both held underlying love for each other, but Po knew it just required him to express to her, to show her how much she really means to him. Now that Tigress has seen and experienced his love for her, she didn't feel vulnerable by reciprocating the feeling back to Po.

"I hope I didn't disappoint you," Po whispered.

Tigress chuckled as she glanced up at Po. "Luckily for you, I'm far from being disappointed."

Po smiled as Tigress laid her head back onto Po's shoulder. "You're everything to me, Tigress. I don't need to be the Dragon Warrior or a kung fu master. You're everything I've ever wanted, and everything I need."

Tigress nuzzled deeper into Po's grasp. While Tigress didn't respond with words, Po understood she was not one to speak many words, but used actions to express her emotions. By her wanting to nuzzle closer to Him, Po held her tighter, mainly because he never wanted this moment to end, but also because he wanted to have her as close as he could… without crushing her, of course. After what seemed like an eternity, the two finally broke their embrace. Po got Crane to take the musicians back to their village, promising them free noodle soup, which they politely accepted.

Once Crane left with the musicians, Po and Tigress cuddled against the Peach Tree, with Tigress leaning into Po's shoulder while Po wrapped an arm around her waist, holding her close. Tigress still felt guilty for causing the wound on Po's snout, and so without warning, she leaned up and started licking the wound. To see Tigress display such affection surprised Po, but he wanted her to be happy and so he allowed her to continue. The roughness of Tigress' tongue caused Po to giggle. Hearing Po's laughter made Tigress chuckle to herself, as she knew it was from her actions, and so she continued to clean his wound to keep on hearing his laughter. Unknown to neither was the fact that Tigress was healing Po's wound. By morning, it would be healed.

As the night drew on, the two continued to cuddle as they talked, not daring to break the embrace they had, mainly because they didn't want to leave the warmth they shared, but also because neither wanted the night to end. Unfortunately for both Po and Tigress, their bodies had other ideas and were longing for sleep. Tigress was the first to succumb to sleep, using Po's chest as a cushion. While Po watched the sleeping beauty that laid in his arms, his eyes grew droopy, and before too long, Po too had fallen asleep.

A/N: And that concludes this song-fic. What did you think?

I know... it was very mushy, cushy, itsy-bitsy fluffy. I couldn't help it. Well I could, but shhh!

Hopefully you liked it. It was pretty random, but hey, what story isn't?

Until next time, take care and stay safe!

Adios!
