(A/N: This is as close to a Tigress/Shifu romance, as I will ever go. Mostly I just wrote this to see what corset-rebellion-follower would say… I may delete it later if I decide I don't like it…)

Fantasy…

Tigress purred as Shifu massaged the tension out of her tired and sore muscles. These few moments alone together were paradise, were Nirvana on earth for the tiger master.

"We're so lucky to have each other." She sighed as the red panda shifted his attention from her neck to her shoulder blades. "How did this happen, anyway?"

"I…" The diminutive martial arts master paused. "I, uh… I don't remember."

She rolled over onto her back to look him in the eyes.

"No, really, how did we get together?" She sat up, suddenly pensive. "It's hard to imagine it happening. That two characters such as us would cross the line of teacher and student so blatantly."

"It does strain the bounds of fantasy…" Shifu admitted. Then he shrugged it of as nothing, they were together and that was all that mattered.

'…fantasy?' Thought Tigress. 'That's it!'

"It's the only explanation!" She stood.

"What is?" The red panda was getting annoyed; he wanted her to lay back down so he could run his paws through her fur some more.

"We're just objects in some transient fantasy." Explained the tiger master. "We'll be gone when it ends!"

"We'll louse each other…?" Shifu didn't want that to happen.

"Well if this is all just going to disappear then there's one thing I'm going to do before it ends!"

"What's tha-" His question was cut off by Tigress suddenly pouncing on him and pressing her lips against his. The red panda's moment of shock was short lived, however, as he deepened the kiss and relaxed his body beneath her's.

….

Tigress was so disturbed that she shocked herself awake. Her and Master Shifu? Her? And Master Shifu? Shifu and her? That was just… just… He was old enough to be her Grandfather! Never. Never again would she eat Po's cooking before bed. It was a bad idea to humor the Dragon Warrior and try his Secret Ingredient Soup. 'Secret Ingredient' indeed!
