Author's note:
Hi! Ok, I have no idea what to write now, like as a note, and… hold on. I do… Oh yeah! So this is still a flashback, basically, this is the whole story before Tigress plan's to confess, so this is going to be a long flashback. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and review, favorite, follow if you want to (except for the enjoy part, I really hope you do enjoy it)!
Chapter 2
Just keep walking and tell him, as easy as that. Tigress was breathing heavily as if she was making the hardest decision, which in one way, she really was.
Flashback (again)…
It's been some more days after she actually came to agreements with her emotions. She spend time with Po, more and more, or you could say it the other way as well, because Po also spend most of his time with her. Every one of their friends knew that they were inseparable, but Po and Tigress claimed they were just 'best friends'.
Tigress, even if she didn't know, when she talked or had a conversation with him, she flirted, she was sure she didn't know how, but if you tilted your head, and narrow your eyes, you could clearly see that The master Tigress was flirting, something that no one, not even her, thought it was possible.
It wasn't until one day, that someone else knew Tigress's secret crush.
It was one day, when Po invited her to tag along with him, because he was going to his dad's noodle shop.
They were both training, Master Shifu made them train extra hard, so everyone was exhausted after their training session. Most of them had to go with Mantis so he could do acupuncture on them, which really helped them, but the poor insect had to help his friends, and himself.
After training, Shifu told them that they could spend the rest of their day however they wanted, but most of the warriors were too tired to do any of their activities, so they decided to just go to their rooms and rest.
Tigress, however, wasn't going to rest. She always pushed herself to perfection, therefore, she wasn't tired after training. Instead she decided to go meditate.
And a certain panda was planning to go visit his dad, even though he was really tired, he had already promised him that he was going to help him on the kitchen, and Po always, or at least tried to keep his promises.
Po was walking towards his dad's shop, and as he was going to the stairs, he saw a figure on the Peach tree, he immediately identify it as Tigress. He smiled at her. He then started heading towards her, he didn't like seeing her alone, even if she said that she was fine, he knew that part of her would like some company.
"Hey" Po said.
Tigress didn't seem to pay attention to him, she was in deep meditation.
"Umm, Tigress" Po said again, now walking in front of her, waving his hands in front of her face.
"PO, stop that" She said, her voice emotionless, which made Po frowned. Tigress was still in the same lotus position.
"What do you want?" Tigress asked him, this time her voice was a little bit softer.
"Well, I was going to my dad's noddle shop, so I was wondering if you would"
IS he going to ask me out?! Tigress thought, she just raised an eyebrow, and managed a small smile, now standing up in front of the panda, who looked nervous.
What am I thinking, asking her out?! She is obviously going to say no, how is that going to help me move on.
"If you would care to join me?" He said, Tigress frowned in disappointment that Po wasn't asking her out but just inviting her.
"Sure, I would love to" She said, Po smiled.
Ok, if I knew she was going to say yes, I would have probably asked her out instead, but what's done is done, at least now I have some alone time with her.
As they were about to go to the stairs Mantis and Crane went outside, and mantis seeing both of them together started teasing them.
"Hey Po, are you guys going on a date?" Po and Tigress started blushing.
"No we are not!, We are just friends" He said, then both of them started heading off, leaving Mantis and Crane laughing at the reactions of the panda and the feline, though quietly because unlike Po, Tigress could use them as sparring partners.
"SO we are just friends?" Tigress asked,
"I didn't mean it like that!" Po quickly add
"Yeah of course, I know" She said quickly, not trying to make the situation more awkward,
"We are… umm" Po said, he was trying to figure out if Tigress wanted to be called more than friends, or if she just meant like a best friends relationship, and as he was thinking that, Tigress was yelling at herself,
You just made it obvious that you like him!
"We are… best friends, right?!" She said, faking a smile, Po quickly turned to look at her.
"Yeah, that's what we are." He said, both of them sighed, sad that they were both only best friends, but not willing to say another word about it in fear of making things awkward.
They both headed to his dad's noodle shop. At first they were walking in silence, but after a while they were both having a conversation all the way there, well, Po was the one doing most of the talking, and Tigress was listening, once in a while making sarcastic-funny comments or saying her opinion on the topic.
Once they got there, both of them were already smiling, which wasn't unusual for Po, but for Tigress it was. Po was staring at her while she was telling him a legend, he loved how pretty she looked, how smart she was, how passionate she was about Kung Fu, how her smile was beautiful, that's why when he was around her, he always tried to make her smile more often. That's why he fell in love with her.
She finished telling the story, and then Mr. Ping came to greet his son.
"Hey, son! I'm so glad you are here! Maybe you could help me with…" He said, but he forgot what to say next when he saw that master Tigress beside Po.
"Oh son, you didn't told me you guys started dating!" Po and Tigress blushed, and shook their heads.
"No dad, she just came with me as friends you know" Then he grabbed his dad, and dragged him to the kitchen, away from Tigress, so he couldn't embarrass him anymore.
"I'm going to cook us some noodles!" Po shouted from the kitchen.
Tigress just chuckled and went to grab a table for him and Po, while she was there, she was staring at Po, and how he was cooking with his dad, having a great time. She sighed dreamily.
Then she felt someone tap her leg. She looked down and it was a little bunny. The bunny was probably just a few years old, Tigress smiled at her.
"Yes, how can I help you?" She said, she wasn't great with kids, but she wasn't rude, you could even say she had a soft place for children.
"I was just wondering… is Po your boyfriend?" The bunny asked shyly. Tigress widen her eyes, she seriously didn't expected that. But then she smiled, and went back at staring at him,
"I wish…" She replied, the little bunny smiled, satisfied and went to her mom.
Little did she know, that someone had listened to her answer…
With Crane…
He had forgotten that he was supposed to pick up some ink that he had ordered, therefore, he had to go to the village, he was tired, but if he didn't picked the up today, then the ink wouldn't be in a great condition.
He was thinking about his friend, Po and the relationship he has been developing with Tigress. But the complicated thing is that, Tigress seemed to return his feelings, but he wasn't really sure of that.
He had finished picking up his bottles of ink. Now he was walking back to the Jade Palace.
I think I will drop by to see Po, and maybe get some noodles at his dad's shop.
He started heading there, but as he was about to enter, he saw Tigress talking to a little bunny, he quickly hid behind the entrance, and just peeked carefully. He was listening to the small conversation they were having.
He heard the bunny ask Tigress if Po was her boyfriend, Crane expected Tigress to growled at her, or do a grimace, but instead he was met by one of the biggest surprises of his life, Tigress turned to look at Po, and Crane noticed it was the kind of stare when you love someone. His beak dropped opened when he heard her reply.
"I wish…"
Hold on! Tigress LOVES Po!? OK, calm down, and get out of here, then figure out what to do with this information!
Crane thought, then he carefully started to walk out of there, and went flying to the Jade palace. Once he got there, he directly went to his room to think more about what he had just witness, mostly because he was afraid that he was going to bump into someone and spill the secret, cause he is not really good at keeping secrets, much less when he is nervous.
Ok, Tigress likes Po, and Po likes Tigress. I'm pretty sure that if Tigress finds out that I know, then I will be dead, so I think I will keep it to myself, at least now I know what is going on between them, and hopefully Tigress will get the courage to tell Po, or vice versa.
After he made up his mind, he felt much more relaxed, but he was wondering if either one of them was going to be able to confess, or if one of them was going to miss their chance.
Well, I hope you liked this chapter! Remember this is still a flashback. I wasn't sure how to finish this chapter, and I just couldn't end the chapter, could I? No, I couldn't. Anyway, this is chapter was mostly about them 'labeling' their relationship, and Crane hearing Tigress. Next chapter is going… actually, you will find out soon enough! *evil smirk*
Oh and leave your reviews!
-Peace out :)
