A/N: Okay first of all, I'm really sorry for not updating this story without notice. I wasn't well and also had exams last month and was really busy so I didn't got time to write much. I was thinking to divide this chapter but then I just decided to post it whole. Hope you don't mind, sorry again.

Hope you'll like this chapter, it's the final one.

It was almost the evening. Po that was in Tigress's form had decided to stay in the Jade Palace and complete her training and reading chores, while Tigress had decided to go down the village to the Noodle Shop to see his dad. She was now getting pretty used to his clumsy body and was now able to walk down the stairs without falling. As she walked down the stairs, she thought about the incident during the lunch time. She and Po cooking together, she'd barely ever thought about it. But she had to admit that she actually enjoyed it. Having her life fully dedicated to kung Fu, she barely had the chance to try anything rather than training, meditation and mastering the thousand scrolls of kung Fu. And now that she was Po, she had started to realize being him wasn't as easy as she had envisioned it.

'Maybe I was being too hard on him.' she thought, regretting the things she'd said about his figure as she reached the end of the steps and entered the locality.

"Good evening, Dragon Warrior."

"How are you doing today, Dragon Warrior?"

Getting greeted by almost every villager, which was not really a new thing to her, but she tried to greet them back in the 'Po way'. It somewhat surprised her that Po knew every villager in the village.

"You're awesome, Dragon Warrior!" A group of children cheered as they passed her. She couldn't help but smile to herself at how adored Po was. To be honest, she really liked to see people not being afraid of her; although it was because she was Po, but still she could really feel free from all those chains of dignity and honor that kept her trapped for the last 20 years.

"Po!" Her thoughts were interrupted as she found herself right in front of the Noodle Shop with Mr. Ping running to her before jumping and splatting into her belly. "So good to see you here!" She smiled and nodded.

"Good to see you as well, Mr... I mean, Dad."

"Lotus!" She heard a shout as Li Shan marched out of the shop. "You're here!" He embraced her into a big hug, even lifting her off the ground in the process.

"I...can't breathe..." she mumbled before Li let go of her.

"It's so good to have you back, son. Now quick! Serve these!" Mr. Ping pulled out a tray out of nowhere and handed them to her before he tied up the apron around her belly. Before she could react, the goose pushed her inside the shop to serve. "Table 1, 4, 6 and 12. Service with a smile!" Tigress, still unsure about almost everything just walked up and started doing her job, she had to do it because she was Po. She must do everything he did, that's the condition.

Trying her best not to spill the noodle bowls on the customers, she barely managed to go thought the little space between the tables. "Uh, sorry. Excuse me, pardon. Uh, such a little space in here." She kept murmuring as she continued bumping her belly and butt into the customers. Her paw slipped, spilling noodles on a villager. "Oh, pardon me, citizen." But the pig smiled in response.

"No big deal, Dragon Warrior. I am going to keep this hat as a memorabilia." He said with a cheerful smile, taking off his hat that was now spilled with noodles.

"Huh?"

"Wheeee!" A child came running from behind and bumped into her butt. Taken aback, she straightened up and all the noodle bowls were sent into the air. But Tigress, still having her awareness as herself, caught all the bowls in the midair, balancing herself on one leg. Everyone started clapping and cheering at the performance. Tigress blew in relief before she suddenly realized she had stubby legs, lose her balance and fell down, spilling the noodles with her.

"Po, what are you doing?! You messed up everything!" Mr. Ping came running out of the shop, terrified at the mess.

"Son, you okay?" Li Shan asked with concern, helping her up. "I think you got too excited, ha ha."

"Yeah." she slurped the noodles off her face. "Wow, that tastes nice."

"You go inside and cook, I will do the serving."

"Okay, dad." she made her way inside the shop. 'Dammit, I messed up everything." she mumbled and walked to the stove. Shaking off what happened initially, she remembered the way Po had told her to cook and started adding up some spices to the noodles that were already boiling. "Hm... I think it needs salt." adding up the ingredient, she took a taste out of it, it tasted good. As she put back the spoon, her paw touched the hot pan. "Ouch!" She yelled out in pain, sucking her burnt finger. Then she thought of something.

She could feel it. She could feel the pain.

Looking at her finger, she realized that she had almost forgotten how it felt like. She kept staring at her finger until Mr. Ping entered.

"Po? Are you okay, son?"

"Um?...Uh, yeah...dad. I am fine, why?"

"You seem not well today, you aren't even doing your work properly, is something wrong?" Mr. Ping said, placing a wing on her forearm.

"No, dad. I am fine, really." she replied and started stirring noodles.

"No, you don't." The goose snatched the ladle from paws. "My poor, Po. Looks like you'd been training a lot. You should go and rest in your room." Tigress wanted to protest but knew that he won't listen. She just nodded and walked up to Po's room. The stairs creaked under her feet as she walked up, still thinking. 'Wow, his dad really cares a lot.' She thought as she reached up, she hesitated a bit. She had never been into his room, she took a while to think before finally entering.

"Woah," escaped her throat as she saw the little room, decorated with the Furious Five action figures, posters and memorabilia. Closing the door behind her she walked to the shelf, it had the action figures of almost all kung fu masters, even the dead ones. She smiled slightly at the fine creativity. There were posters on the wall, hers too. Also there was an ox painted next to his bed with some ninja stars stuck on it. She chuckled as the little room looked like a kung fu battle arena itself.

Suddenly, she stumbled upon something. Looking down, she found a something under his bed, a diary. Picking it up, Tigress sat down on the bed, opening it's first page. Her eyes widened, it was Po's personal diary. She wanted to read it and was tempted to, but then she decided to respect his privacy and closed it. Reaching down to put it back, the diary slipped from her hand and fell down, and some sheets of papers fell out of it. Tigress quickly collected them all up but then noticed something.

"Wait," she opened the sheet and noticed some drawings of her and the four. "What the? Heh, Po draws pretty good." Tigress muttered to herself, smiling at the finely made drawings. She turned the pages to see something written, it looked like poems and stories he'd written about her and the four. She rolled her eyes at the over-dramatic use of words, it was completely about how awesome she is.

Tigress knew she shouldn't be reading this but she still wanted to. Then she noticed one more thing; a small substance wrapped in a green cloth was kept on the shelf next to his bed. Picking it up she opened it and saw it was a broken piece of a chunk. "Huh?" She really didn't understand what it was. Tigress kept staring at the shard, why was he keeping this and why was it so special? But she just shook away her curiosity.

Tigress just stayed there for a while, still looking at the poems and stories. He really respected and looked up to her. She remembered the first day he came, when she treated him like he worth nothing. Although it had passed years and Po had already forgiven her a long time ago, she still sometimes felt bad about it. She had bursted upon him this morning for no reason. She shouldn't have mocked him for his figure and gotten mad; no matter how he looked, he still was the nicest person she had ever met in her life and respected her like no one had ever done. Tigress sighed and clutched the peice of chunk in her paw.

The sun had already gone down, Po was at the Peach Tree hill, practicing tai chi. Moving his arms gracefully in the air and breathing along with the motion, he was feeling the flow of the air. He felt himself more graceful and elegant than ever before. He breathed out, coming to the rest position as he heard little footsteps of running.

"Stripy Baby!" A voice squealed as a little panda came up running.

"Oh, hey kiddo. You here this time?" Po said, picking up the little cub. "So what are you up to, Lei Lei?"

"I made a sand castle with Meng Meng today." She replied.

"Cool." Po replied, rubbing her head and kissed it. "I was just practising my kung fu. You know, awesomeness." Lei Lei looked at him, confused. Po decided to just let it go and picked two peaches from the tree and sat down at the edge of the cliff with the little cub in his lap. "Here, have it." He offered her a peach. The little panda took it but still looked confused. "Umm...what's wrong?"

"Nothing, you just act...different, Stripy Baby." she replied with an innocent face.

Po sweated. "Uh...different? How? What do you mean? I just look exactly the same. See? What's the change?" he asked, trying to sound casual, as in a 'Casual Tigress' tone.

"Um... okay." the cub just replied and began eating her fruit. She took out her Tigress action figure and gave her a 'bite' as well. "Is it good, Stripy Baby?" She asked the figurine with a smile, the figure 'nodded'. Po smiled at her, still having the fruit in his paw and not eating it. "Let Cuddles have some too." She took out her Po figurine that he had given her and gave him a 'bite'. "I love it, it's awesome!" she mimicked his voice. "Thank you, Stripy Baby." she brought the two figurines' face closer, as if to make them kiss. Po's eyes widened.

"Wait...w-what are you doing?"

Lei Lei smiled at him. "Stripy Baby loves Cuddles, doesn't she?"

"What, really?"

"But you told me she does." She said, her expression changing into an upset one. "Or...she doesn't?"

"No! I mean, yes, maybe. I don't know." He hesitated. The cub raised an eyebrow.

"Lei Lei?" A voice came from behind as they turned back to see the giant panda standing here who was actually Tigress. "What are you doing here, little one?" She asked with a smile.

"Cuddles!" Lei Lei waved her paw. Tigress walked up to her and rubbed her head.

"You shouldn't be here right now, Grandma might be looking for you." She said. "Go back to her. She might be worried." The cub glanced at the feline, as if asked for permission.

"Yeah, um... he's right. You should now go to bed." Po replied. The cub smiled and nodded, she gave a kiss at the feline's cheek before running back down.

"Don't go alone, it's late. Ask Viper to drop you back to Grandma." Tigress said to the cub who was running off. After she left, Tigress turned to face Po.

"Hey, Po." He said with a grin. Tigress rolled her eyes. His grin became bigger as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Hehe, I mean Tigress."

"We need to talk." She said. Po nodded and patted the ground next to him, Tigress took a seat. Her stomach grumbled as she sat down. Po offered her the peach that he had. Tigress sighed, frustrated on her hunger but took it anyway. "So, how was your day?"

"Not so bad." She replied, looking at the moon shining brightly in the sky and eating the peach. "Yours?"

"Pretty good. Now I see what it's like to be...hardcore." He said, the smile on his face faded a little that Tigress noticed. She raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, so was it fun?" she questioned with an amused look. He gave her a look, thinking what to say but ended up just nodding his head silently.

"You do pretty hard stuff. Heh," He replied with a grin. "I did like...4 days training in one day." She nodded her head, looking down.

"I suppose I had a pretty tough day as well." She said. Po looked at her.

"You did?"

"Yes. Being a panda isn't as easy as I thought I guess. While being you I kinda realized that it's amazing that you really act how a good Dragon Warrior should act while still keeping your role as a good villager and a son." She admitted. A smile appeared on his face. "I...apologize for mocking your figure and...almost killing you."

He laughed at the last part. "It's alright, that's really nice of you. Also, I think I shouldn't have burst upon you for correcting me and should have accepted it instead of questioning your femininity. You're beautiful just the way you are, and your bravery and greatness proves it." Tigress tried to hide a blush but her white fur revealed it.

"Can I say something? You won't be offended, right?"

"Of course not." Po replied.

"I went into your room in the Noodle Shop." She said. Po gave her a startled look.

"O...okay."

"...And I saw those things in your diary."

"What?!" Po shouted. "Look, don't be mad! Those poems and stuff were just toddler me fanboying around, don't take it seriously."

"It's fine. I should be the one apologizing for not respecting your privacy but they just fell out and I happened to look at them." She explained. "And trust me, I'm not mad. In fact I'm surprised you look so up to me." She admitted, taking the piece of chunk out of her pocket.

"Wait, you found that too?"

"Yes. But what is this?"

Po took the chunk from her. "It's…umm…actually, it's the piece of plank you broke with the split the first day I came here." He explained. "I…kinda kept it as a souvenir. Cuz' I was a real big fan of you, I still am."

She took his striped, muscular paw in her own. "Po, I…I'm sorry for everything."

"It's alright. I love you." Po replied with a blush.

Tigress looked at him, her green, jade eyes sparkling in the moonlight. She smiled at him. "Really?" she asked. He nodded. "I love you too." Po pulled her into a tight hug. "Uh…t-too tight, Po." She mumbled, struggling under his grip.

"Ooh, sorry." He loosened his grip. "Just getting used to this overly awesome strength. Ha ha," Tigress, with a sly smirk on her face, pounced upon the feline panda, pinning him down, peach petals flying above as he bounced upon the ground. He chuckled, pulling her into a hug. "Sorry, I may not be as comfortable as before."

"That's not your fault." She replied. "What matters is that it's you. And I don't care what form you're in."

"Me neither." He said, placing a passionate kiss on her lips. She wrapped her flabby, soft arms around his neck, softly biting her lips while being careful not to hurt her with his fangs. They spent the rest of the night together, cuddling into each other's arms, snuggling into each other.

Po yawned and opened his eyes slowly as a peach petal on his face tickled his nose. Blowing it away, he stretched himself and rubbed his eyes to clear his vision. "Wha…?" he mumbled as he noticed his black, soft, furry paws instead of the striped one. Looking at his body he realized that he was a panda again. "Woah, I'm back to normal." He grinned, examining himself.

"Mmm…" He heard a mumble. As he looked down, he noticed Tigress, who was now back into her original form snuggling into his fat, soft belly, sound asleep. He couldn't help but smile at her and placed a kiss on her forehead, cuddling her tightly.

"You look better like this, my dear. You really do."

The End.
