Guess who the next couple is?
Chapter 9: Accepting Each Other As Valentine's
With one more day left until valentine's day, everyone was getting ready for Valentine's day and Po was the most stoked up about the holiday as well as he decided to make a valentine's day card for a certain someone he had in mind. He took some of what was left over from Musaki's artwork to make a perfectly good card for his valentine.
Just then, Musaki walked past his room and sees that he's up to making a card and he went in and asked, "Hey, whatcha doing?"
Po turns around and sees Musaki just standing there and he lets out a nervous chuckle and replied, "Nothing..."
Musaki lets out a suspicious look on his face and realized that Po is hiding something and he asked, "What you got behind your back?"
"It's...nothing." Po said, with a sheepish laugh.
Musaki could see that Po is obviously hiding something and he immediately knew what it would be and he asked, "Making a valentine's day card?"
Po looked surprised to know that Musaki knows what he was hiding from and then he whispered, "How'd you know, Lil' Saki?"
Musaki dropped his jaw in shock and was surprised that he knew that Po would make a card for someone and he asked, "You are? Who's it for?"
"It's for Tigress." Po replied, nervously.
Then, Musaki's excited face turned into a bored glare and asked, "Really?"
"Yeah. I was kinda hoping she'd accept it and I wouldn't end up getting beaten up for it." Po added, nervously.
Then, Musaki could see that he's doing something nice for her, which was a little weird for him, but he accepted it anyway and he said, "I guess that's a good thing."
Minutes later, Po walks past her room and gently slides the card under her door and left the scene without anyone knowing it, hoping that Tigress can accept the card. As soon as Tigress walked into the room, she noticed a little piece of paper flying through her and she was quick to grab it and she received something she never expected to have; a valentine's day card. When she opened it, she could tell that it was Po's handwriting and little doodles he made of her and Po just holding hands.
She didn't think that Po could do something for her especially on a day like valentine's day, but at the same time, she has developed some feelings for him after that battle back at Gongmen City and thought that if he's that kind enough to show his affections towards her, she should do the same for him...but how?
Later on, Po was looking up at the stars at the Sacred Peach Tree, just looking over the view of the Valley of Peace and taking it all in. He lets out a nervous sigh and thought about what would happen if Tigress sees that valentine's day card he sent to her and worries that she might get mad and stuff like that.
Then, as if out of the blue...
"Po!"
Po could recognize that voice anywhere. He felt a little scared to turn around because he knows that it might be Tigress' angry voice and he responded, "Yes?"
Then, when he turned around, it was Tigress. He started quivering his lip and Tigress quickly went up to him, causing Po to back away from her and when he leaned against the tree, Tigress got close to him and she said, "I saw your little card."
"You did?" Po asked.
"Here's what I have to say about that." Tigress added.
Po tried to escape because he knows that she might beat him up, but as soon as he tried to leave, Tigress grabbed him by the hands and gave out a kiss towards his lips, which shocked him. Po's eyes widened at that and then he was frozen for a minute and just plopped onto the floor. Tigress tried to wake him up, but he wasn't moving.
"Po? Are you okay?" Tigress asked, in concern.
He was still unresponsive, thinking that she might've killed him. She grew absoultely worried for him and she tried his best to wake him up, but Po immediately got himself up and said, "I'm okay."
"You scared me, Po!" Tigress shouted.
"I'm sorry. I was just a little shocked." Po admitted.
Tigress then felt a sense of relief over this and she said, "I actually wanted to say thank you for sending me this card. It was really sweet of you to do that."
Po smiled at her and he smiled back and replied, "You've always been my valentine. I was a little scared that you'd get mad and that you'd reject me."
That reaction from Po became similar to hers and she said, "So did I. I felt the same way when I made my card to you."
Po was surprised to hear that Tigress made him a valentine's day card and when she gave it to Po, he immediately opened it up and said, "The one person I would love to spend valentine's day with would be no one else but my only panda friend...whom I am lucky enough to come into my life in an unexpected but great way. Happy Valentine's day, Dragon Warrior."
Po smiled at her and figured that what she wrote was sentimental and really sweet and asked, "You said that?"
"Yes. I didn't think that I would be good enough to even be your valentine." Tigress added.
"What are you talking about? I'd be more than happy to be your valentine." Po said.
She felt as if Po would be willing to be her valentine despite her fears and hesitations. But she smiled at him and said, "You're a good person, Po."
"So are you."
Both of them hugged each other and Tigress could feel a little bit of weight being lifted of her shoulders after years of carrying much baggage and they decided to look up at the stars together. She lets out a chuckle and said, "The stars look so beautiful tonight."
"Not as beautiful as you are." Po said.
She looked at him and said, "I'm happy you came into my life, Po."
"Me too."
Sorry if I made it short, but I kinda ran out of small ideas. Anyways, here's the last chapter!
