Po suddenly snapped awake hearing a loud "boom" outside. He jumped out of his bed careful not to disturb Tigress who was still sleeping. He pulled his pants on tossing a blanket over Tigress before running out of his room. Shifu was nearby watching out a window. "What was that noise?" Po asked walking up to him. "There was an explosion nearby. But it's hard to tell where with all this rain." He said. Po looked out the window seeing it pouring rain heavily. Lighting was the only thing lighting up the dark, black sky. "I can go check it out if you want?" Po said. Shifu looked at him. "Try. But if it's too bad out there, come home immediately." Po nodded running out of the building and down the stairs. Shifu watched as Po disappeared into the rain and out of sight. He sighed softly walking off.
Tigress woke up half an hour later feeling for Po only to find him gone. She wrapped the blanket around her going into her room getting a new set of clothes on. She walked out of her room looking around. "Po?" She called out walking down the hallway. "He's outside looking for what caused the explosion." Shifu called from the kitchen. Tigress ran to the doors to the palace opening it seeing the rain was so heavy she couldn't see the beginning of the stairs. The wind was blowing some of the rain into the palace. She whimpered softly scanning her surroundings. "Po…" She whispered before she felt someone taking her arm pulling her inside. She looked down to see Monkey pushing the door closed. "You'll get soaked Tigress." He said looking at her. "Did you know Po's out there?" She said. Monkey shook his head. "No. But I'm sure he'll be fine." He said trying to give her a little comfort. "He's out there by himself with who-knows-what just waiting to get him!" Monkey led her over to a bed sitting her down on the edge of it. "Calm down Tigress. This is Po we're talking about. He'll be fine. Trust me." He said. Tigress whined leaning back hitting her head on the wall. "I want him back." She whispered curling up on the bed. Monkey sighed patting her side before he left her to wait for Po. She watched the adults walking around the palace and talking amongst themselves. She sighed softly closing her eyes listening out for any dangers before she fell asleep.
She stirred in her sleep a while later. She whimpered softly clawing at the blankets underneath her. She snapped awake a minute later breathing heavily. Her ears twitched hearing a familiar sound. She look over at the doors as they opened and a soaked Po stood there. He looked over seeing Tigress curled up on the bed before the next thing he knew she was clinging to him purring happily. Po wrapped his arms around her waist closing the doors behind him. Crane flew over to them with a towel for Po. "Uh…Tigress?" Po said softly. She just looked at him. "You need to let go so I can dry off." He said only to find her hold got tighter. "Other way Tigress!" he said. "No! I don't want to!" Po sighed. "Do you want me to get sick?" he asked. Tigress sighed reluctantly letting go allowing him to dry himself. Crane than handed him a blanket so he could warm up more in front of the fire. Po sat down feeling Tigress crawling under the blanket and onto his lap. "What's wrong with you?" he asked putting a paw on her cheek. "I was worried about you. And I had a nightmare." She whispered. "Kinda figured that. The blanket you were lying on is ripped to shreds." He said. Tigress wrapped her arms around his neck resting her head on his shoulder. Po sighed softly holding her close feeling the vibrations of her purrs. He chuckled softly. "Someone's happy." He whispered kissing her cheek. Tigress smiled up at him purring louder.
Shifu came over with the others. "Po, did you find anything?" He asked. "Sorry Shifu. All I could see was just the buildings in the village. Although I did see some girl moving around in the shadows. I could hear their voices too but I couldn't see where they were but I know they were planning something because I heard them talking about the fact that they caused that explosion sound." He said. Shifu frowned thinking hard. "I want you to find out what you can about that group when the rain stops. Then report back to me." Po nodded and Shifu walked off. The other four sat down. Mr. Ping came running over to them. "Son! We're getting bored here. Can you put on a show for us? It would make us so happy." He said. Po nodded smiling. "Sure thing dad." He said. Mr. Ping smiled before noticing the tiger master cuddled up to him. "Do you know there's a tiger on you?" Mr. Ping whispered. Po's eyes widened just staring at his father. "Dad!" Po said as Tigress looked up. "Of course I know she is. I'm not that stupid." Mr. Ping just shrugged running off to tell the others. Tigress put her paw against his cheek turning his head to face her. "Never mind him. Let's just get the show started for them." She said kissing him quickly before getting up. Po sighed happily practically following her as if he was in a trance. "I had no idea I had this effect on you." She mused heading to the training arena.
The Five and Po started to do a whole kung fu demonstration for the kids and adults of the village. They were doing great till a kid got in the way causing Monkey to be sent off course and he crashed into Crane who landed on top of Mantis rolling into Tigress who tripped and fell on top of Po. Viper grabbed Crane with her tail trying to get them back on track only to lose grip as they fell on Tigress and Po. Tigress came face to face with Po panting softly. Po just smiled putting his paws on her waist. "Can't stay away from me can you?" he said huskily into her ear. Tigress let out a purr smirking. She then glanced up and froze seeing the villagers all staring at them. "Get up." She whispered. "What?" Monkey asked leaning over to hear her better. "Get up!" She growled. "They're watching us remember! This isn't training!" The others glanced up realizing that this wasn't their practice session like Tigress had reminded them. They suddenly jumped off each other lining up. "Sorry master. We'll begin again." Tigress said and they all bowed. They turned walking back to their positions to start again. Shifu watched them closely making sure they got it right which Tigress made sure from they got right from that time on.
They finished their training late evening and the villagers had started to make some food for their meals. Tigress walked up behind Po who was talking to his father. She leant against his back wrapping her arms around his neck. Po smiled rubbing her arm gently. "You okay?" He asked. "I'm fine baby." She whispered nuzzling his neck. Mr. Ping just stared at them both. "You're dating Stripy?!" Mr. Ping said wide eyed. "Dad! She has a name!" Po said with a facepalm. Tigress just eyed his father closely. "Yes he is." She said moving round in front of Po. "Is that a problem?" Po put his arm around her waist keeping her back in case she tried to do anything she'd regret later. "No no! Not a problem!" Mr. Ping said backing up from the tiger that was glaring at him with a look in her eyes that if he did she'd kill him. Tigress's expression softened slightly before she pulled away from Po walking off. "Dad you're so embarrassing!" Po groaned sitting down and Mr. Ping just went back to cooking.
