(Set between kfp 2 and kfp 3, Hope you enjoy :3 )

''What the hell?'' Tigress exclaimed, her eyes narrowed at her friend in front of her. She had been gone for less than five minutes, and when she comes back they had eaten all the dumplings. Even hers.''You ate all of them?''

''Uhh.. We can explain!'' Mantis called out, striking his pincers in a defensive pose. The other followed his lead. ''Po ate them all!'' The small bug called out, then hid under one of the dumpling bowls.

''What? No I didn´t! Monkey did!'' Po passed it on to Monkey, and the primate looked petrified for a moment.

''Noooo! It was… Crane! In fact, he´s still eating one!'' Crane spat out his dumpling and looked at the three boys who had his them selfs behind something. Po was failing at it, as he tried to hide under the table next to theirs.

''Really guys? So immature. Just tell her who it was, either way you all are gonna get punished in some sort of way.'' Viper hissed at them, rolling her eyes at the same time. ''Tigress, Po ate them. Now that I think of It, Mantis was really telling the truth, the other two were lying.''

''As if i ever doubted that'' Tigress groaned. ''Now i have to spend 30 yuan for more dumplings. Great!'' She ironically said. Apparently didn´t Po catch her sarcasm, wanting to say something about it not being so great until Crane´s feathery arm slapped over his mouth. Suddenly, a wild, yet random, idea came into is mind. 'Perfect'

''How about you do something me and my mom used to do when I was little?'' Crane suggested, a sly smirk starting to form at the top of his beak. Tigress raised a brow at that.

''If it involves Po paying for my dumplings, Im in'' She crossed her arms and looked at him, waiting for his conclusion.

Crane cleared his throat, giving Viper a knowing look as she got what he was trying to say. She couldn´t help but grin and turn towards the tigress and the panda.

''Okey, just step closer to each other!'' She examined the length between them as they both took a step closer, awkwardly wondering where this was going. She put the tip off her tail under her chin. ''closer'' They took another step, this time making both of them uncomfortable. ''Oh come on! one more step!''

At this point they were chin to chin against each other, and Tigress noticed the grins on her friends face´s. ''I don´t understand. How will this help me get back My dumplings? and I'm starting to wonder what your mother did to you as a child.'' She looked at Crane, who frowned for a second but then his grin came back.

''Now just turn SLOWLY and look at each other.'' Monkey constructed, and the two 'captors' followed. With a much sudden touch by their muzzles as they both turned to face each other, the two of them noticed how close they had gotten to each other in less than 10 minutes.

Tigress immediately realized and backed away, leaving a stunned Po all by himself. She turned towards her friends with a visible blush on her face, but she was hoping her fur would cover the most of it.

''Crane! I thought you were on our side!'' She yelled at him, in both disbelief and anger.
The avian shrugged and looked down at the Viper next to him. ''I guess Im the traitor around here… But you could´ve gotten more if you stayed there longer.''

''What did you and your mother do when you were young?'' She asked, both in shock and horror at a thought that had crossed her mind.

''Nothing anywhere near what you´re thinking. its just something all birds do, feed the younger by chewing the bits smaller .'' He raised his wings in the air as Mantis and Monkey high five him. The trio turned to look at each other , then they all laughed. Tigress couldn´t help but feel as if she wanted to burn something.

''I think we broke Po. He isn´t really moving that much… Or at all.'' Viper exclaimed as she poked Po´s side with her tail. He didn´t move from the contact. Tigress groaned and turned to the three snickering boys. She was about to tell them to help him until Monkey interrupted.

''You caused it, you´re the one who´s supposed to fix it.'' He snap his finger at her, and mantis high five his other hand.

''Po! Theres… Um.. Some dumplings left! Do you want some?'' She tried it out with food, but no responds came. She looked over at viper, who was also trying to figure what to do.

Tigress realized at that moment that she had to do what they did all over again, but she had to do it for Po. She looked over at the boys and saw them chattering among each other, whilst Viper was in deep thoughts.

She sighed, before leaning forward and bringing their muzzles together. She could feel Po´s body tense up, and soon she felt his arms snake around her waist and pull her closer. He ran his arms trough the golden fabric and the fur on her neck started rising at the contact. She soon realized that Po had taken over the kiss and that the chattering besides them had died down.

When Po noticed that Tigress had lightly tapped her hand on his chest and he immediately released her from his grasp, breaking the sudden kiss. The others looked at them with shock, and Viper soon after decided to speak up.
''Soo.. Did it work?''

Tigress smiled simply at them. ''Yep. Tasted just like dumplings.''

(Dumpling hugs to all of you! )
