The crossing between love and war

Chapter 1: The message

One morning in the valley of peace, an old master strikes his gong to wake his students.

"Good morning master." The 5 of them said in perfect unison.

"Good morning my-, panda, Panda!! Wake up." Master Shifu shouted at a very fat but powerful panda.

"Unhh *snort* whaa." Po said as he awoken.

"Always waking up late." Master Tigress said to the other masters.

"It doesn't really matter; Shifu waking him up gives us extra time to wake up." Master Monkey stated.

"That is true." Master Mantis added.

"Well I don't like it, that flabby panda should have more responsibility if he is to maintain the role of the Dragon Warrior." Tigress said sincerely.

During their quiet conversation, Master Shifu finally managed to wake up Po (again) and disciplined him about waking up (again).

*15 minutes later*

The masters were now in the training area of the palace. Tigress at the 7 swinging clubs of oblivion, Monkey on the spiked hoops*, Mantis at the dummies*, Crane at the bowls and Viper at the fire coils*. Po on the other hand was in his own training area that Master Shifu put up for him. It was a moving dummy that only attacked and had spikes all over its body. Shifu put this up for Po to work on his reflexes and speed. But it was also put their on flat ground because Shifu knew that Po couldn't take on the 7 clubs while moving on the dancing dragons.

*4 hours later*

"Okay students, you are done." Master Shifu said to the now overly exhausted students (well, Po for that matter).

All of the students stopped except for one.

"Tigress. Stop!" Shifu yelled at her.

"What?" Tigress asked. She stopped what she was doing and looked towards Shifu, just as one of the swinging clubs came at her (she always spared one).

"Oh no." Viper said as the club came closer to master Tigress. But then, they saw a black and white blur going past them to the swing clubs. Then they saw Po and Tigress on the other side of the training area, with Tigress in Po's arms.

"Oh my," Shifu thought to himself, "He is closer to the Dragon Turning than I thought."

"Are you okay Tigress." Po said.

"Yeah thanks".

Then they saw the way Po was holding her, they both blushed a deep shade of red, Po then released her and then quickly walked to Shifu.

"Hmm, interesting," Monkey said to Mantis.

"I know, maybe they-" Mantis was cut short by the sound of breaking glass and the quack of a familiar duck.

"Ahh Zeng, I hope you bring good news this time" Master Shifu said to Zeng, the jade palace messenger.

"No Master Shifu, in fact, you have to go too the village quickly.

Yes. The first chapter is done. And to remind you again, this is my first story ever. There will be action and romance in the later chapters though. So please stick with it. Please review, no flames.
