THIS NIGHT IS SPARKLING DON'T YOU LET IT GO, DON'T YOU LET IT GOOO...I'M WONDERSTRUCK BLUSHING ALL THE WAY HOME...

Hahahaha, enjoy this chapter! And thanks for your reviews! !

Tigress waited for him. She was wondering how someone like him could be hurt so much. Or how anyone would hurt someone as innocent and kind as him. She began to think about the girl who did this. She didn't even know who she was, but she already knew she didn't like her. The girl was ungrateful, she couldn't hold on to Po...she shouldn't have let go of someone with a golden heart. She shouldn't have ruined him. She shouldn't, as simple as that.

Tigress forced herself to remain calm, to maintain her wants of hunting down the person who did this. Here she was, trying to love him, and there he was, trying to get rid of love, all thanks to someone who couldn't appreciate what she had on the palm of her hand. That wasn't fair.

Po listened to the silence. He was pondering what to tell the feline. The whole story? Just the ending? Maybe make it short, and dramatic, he concluded.

"The girl's name was Lin, she was a snow leopard," he smiled at the memory, making Tigress frown for a second.

"We met when I became the Dragon Warrior. I saved her from some bandits, and we became good friends," Tigress nodded, though the need to roll her eyes but not doing it was physically hurting her.

"That's nice," She said, trying to be more...compassionate towards him. Po only chuckled,

"Yeah. And one time I bumped into her, and well, it all began to unwrap itself out, you know? Then there was this small festival, and I asked her out. She said yes, and we began to date," he explained, a distant look on his face. Tigress sighed and watched the water.

Now she felt foolish because she loved him. Of course the guy didn't feel the same, they were complete opposites! And Po wouldn't even hesitate to choose some other girl over her. Afterall, she was a criminal nonetheless, and she had her own reputation...

"So it was perfect for you and her, huh?" Tigress added, a bit sarcastic. Po then frowned.

"It was, but I guess she didn't meant it when she said 'I love you'. Because I found her cheating on me with some other guy. Actually, my friends and I did." Tigress widen her eyes,

"Oh."

"Yeah. I was crushed and eveything. I confronted her about it, but she just said some awful things. My friends played a prank on her to cheer me up, they manage to drop blue paint on her," Tigress snickered, and Po did too. At least the feline was more content now that the girl had a little taste of revenge.

"But at the moment it seemed pointless," Po said, playing with his paws. Tigress then filled out the rest fo the story for herself.

"And you wanted to escape the pain. It wasn't ache anymore...it felt...numb. So hurt you can't feel nothing at all. And so you changed sides. Trying to forget, to feel, to run away from the betrayal...," Tigress met his shocked gaze.

"And I found you," Po finished. He was shocked that the feline could put it into words, that she could read a person so clearly.

"But I'm just as broken as you are," she added with a harsh chuckle. Po wasn't sure if he was supposed to smile or give her a hug.

"I'm sorry, she didn't deserve you," Tigress finally said. Po nodded, smiling at the feline.

"Thanks." Tigress sighed and looked at him,

"So, are you planning on going back to the Jade Palace? Or with her?" She asked. The answer was inevitable. Po wasn't like her, he couldn't keep himself isolated. Not when he could count on many people to have his back.

"I'm not sure, there's something keeping me from going," he shrugged. Or maybe someone. ...

Tigress remained quiet. With Po gone afterwards, she was back to her usual routine. Not anyone to talk, tease. ..to love. Po noticed her silence and tried to cheer her up.

"You know, Shifu misses you." Tigress looked up and smirked, punching him in the arm playfully.

"Yeah right." Tigress wasn't going to fall for that. Shifu never felt a thing towards her, not even the slightest hint of emotion. Which now that she thought about it, maybe contributed to the factor of her own personality.

"I'm serious though! He always brings up your name, saying stuff like 'Tigress used to do that faster, Tigress always listened, Tigress this, Tigress that," Tigress chuckled.

"What about Oogway?" Po looked down.

"He...passed away." Tigress widen her eyes and clenched her jaw. Her ears drew back and her tail stopped swishing for some instances.

"Oh, well, too bad I wasn't able to see him again," Tigress muttered. She closed her eyes and breathed in. She felt as if the world was trying to drown her in her web of lies. She opened herself, and of course, a flood of pictures had to come in through,

"You know, you can always come back. Your room is still empty." Tigress shook her head.

"Po, no one really needs me there, or even wants me. Things are better this way." Tigress stood up, wiping off the dust that remained on her pants. Po followed the feline, shaking the water from his paws.

"Well, I want you there," he whispered. Tigress darted her eyes at him, the panda who had just heard everything about her. And he still wanted her. She blinked, trying to melt all the hope that was making its way through her iron wall. Po had just broken up... and now it wasn't fair she took advantage from him in this position.

That, and maybe it was otherwise. Maybe she was the rebound girl who would just get used. And she was far more worthy than that. She was a rusted diamond... and even with her misused edges, she was still a strong and respected warrior.

So, when the panda didn't heard her reply he smiled. And he leaned forward, the feeling on his chest pressing him to do so. And just as his lips hovered above hers, the tiger quickly tilted her head, making his lips plant a kiss on her cheek.

Po noticed and quickly backed away. He was about to apologize when she coughed and spoke,

"We should get back to the camp. Its pretty late." And just like that, her doors closed again, and both figures began fo walk back.

She meant everything.

She wasn't lying when she kissed me, when she smiled, when she was gentle. She meant every single gesture she made to me. And I locked her out when she let me in. She went through a lot. Who losses their home, their family, their person, and walks out okay? She didn't. She doesn't want to admit it though. And then there's me. A guy who lost a girl like her, just because another one left me fearing. So...lots of mistakes to fix, huh? Tigress doesn't want to like me anymore, which is acceptable knowing how she gave me her heart and I dropped it. And now that I realize how her love is special,..it's too late. But hey, if she can fearlessly love someone even when she is broken, then I guess I can glue her and me at the same time...Afterall, they say love is fearless and that a simple gesture of love can go a long way...

sorry for the short chapter. ..this was more of a filler. But hope you like it and leave your reviews! Thank you!

-peace out:)
