TiPo me: *Rolls eyes* Things better look more… favorable on this chapter.
Normal me: I'll try…. Oh also special thanks to my bff who always reads my story at lunch! And… ENJOY!
Chapter 12
Crane was walking to the Jade Palace. He was wondering why Po was acting that way towards Tigress. Po had just told him some days ago how he loved Tigress, but now it didn't make sense, if he loved her, then why was he avoiding her?
He sighed and shook his head, this drama going on between them was really frustrating, if only instead of keeping secrets they just told each other, then they wouldn't have to deal with all this, they would be a happy couple and Song wouldn't even be a problem.
He went over to the kitchen, where he expected Po to be. Surprisingly, he wasn't there, the kitchen was empty, it was quite a weird and unique sight that you didn't get to see often. He stopped and started thinking where he could be. Song wasn't around, so he must be with her. So they must be on a date.
He didn't wanted to interrupt them, actually he did wanted to do so, but it would be rude to do so, and he didn't wanted to seem against their relationship, mostly because he needed Po's trust.. So he just waited for them to come back, their dates usually didn't took so long, but what he didn't know, is that this date was special.
After waiting for a long time…
Crane was in his room, when he finally heard the familiar footsteps he has been waiting for. He heard Song also there, well, he heard smooching noises, so he guessed it was Song. In the inside, he was getting disgusted. For some reason, she was really happy, well, for the sounds of it, she was more than happy, she was ecstatic.
He waited until she went to her room, to finally come out of his.
Once he did, he saw Po was smiling and making his way to the kitchen. He followed him, trying not to seem as a stalker. Po started to take out Monkey's almond cookies and started chewing them happily.
"Hey Po" Crane said cheerily.
"Oh, hey Crane. What a nice day, isn't it?" He replied smiling.
"Yeah, well kind of".
"Why is that?"
"Well, I was just wondering, why are you ignoring and avoiding Tigress?" Crane said, hoping he didn't sound too demanding. Po immediately frowned and his glow decreased.
"Why shouldn't I?" He said bitterly, turning around.
"What do you mean, what did she do?" Crane asked, maybe Tigress didn't told him everything. Po sighed.
"You know how a couple of days ago you told me to tell her how I feel?" Crane nodded
"Well, I did" Crane widen his eyes, why hadn't Tigress told him about that?
"I left her a note saying that I loved her and that if she didn't feel the same way to tell me, and maybe we could still be friends" Po explained, the memory bringing him pain.
"And what did she said?" Crane asked, apparently Tigress didn't say something like 'I love you too', and he was curious why not.
"She left me this note" Po took it out of his pocket and gave it to him so he could read it. He had kept it in his pocket, everyday he read it over and over again, as if it were going to change. Even though it brought him pain, it reminded him that Tigress didn't love him, so he should just start making the best with what he has, that would be Song.
Crane was reading and re-reading the note, like Po, he couldn't believe Tigress wrote that. It just didn't make sense, Tigress had told him how much she loved Po, and how she hated Song, and this, this note went against everything! Against Tigress's beliefs, but yet again, it used the same diction Tigress would have used, and it was signed by her.
"Wow, this… I… I'm speechless" Crane stuttered. Po snapped the note from his hands and started heading out.
Po was clearly upset about the note, like he was the first time.
The next day…
"So did he said anything?" Tigress asked Crane as she pulled him back into the training hall, as the rest went to the kitchen.
"You should know, you did it" Crane answered her. They started walking to the dormitories.
"What?" Tigress's face was overcome by a confused expression. They both walked inside her room, to make sure no one heard their conversation.
"He told you he loved you, by a note".
"HE DID!?" She started twirling around, smiling and laughing. But then she suddenly came to a stop, and regained her composure,
"Hold on, how come I don't know about it?" She asked him, Crane raised an eyebrow.
"Wait, you DO know, because you answered him in another note saying that you didn't love him and you didn't wanted to talk to him anymore" Crane said, also getting as confused as Tigress.
"I didn't even have the note! And if I did, I would never write something as mean as that, I could, but this is Po" She explained getting upset.
"But who would do that?" Crane asked, but as soon as he asked it, they both got the answer in their heads as quick as lighting. They looked at each other.
"SONG!"
"That's why I saw my drawer a little bit messy!" Tigress said, pacing back and forth on her room, clenching and unclenching her claws. They were both thinking of solutions to this love chaos.
"I will just go to Po and tell him what happened" She finally said, Crane nodded and started going to his room, finally glad that she decided to talk with Po and not just send him as her messenger. Still he was wondering if they were going to be able to work this out.
Oh, she just crossed the line! She shouldn't have done that! And the worst thing is that Po actually feel for that note! And I, so stupid, if I saw something weird and should have investigate deeper, not just let it sit! Ugh! This is what happens when I don't overthink things! Or when things seem to be looking good for me.
She started storming off to see Po, she wanted to kill Song, but Po was more important than her, so she was going to fix things up with him first… THEN she would kill Song.
She went to the Peach tree, he was not there, thank God, if he was, then it wouldn't be coincidence that only bad things happened there, or when things need to be revealed.
She went to the kitchen, where he was happily eating Monkey's cookies, again, or maybe he never stopped, but she didn't know and didn't bother to find out. It was a weird sight, he was happier than usual, blither. She sighed and stepped inside, Po turned to see her, and he frowned and started to pack up the cookies, clearly wanting to go away… with the cookies.
"Po, I need to talk to you" She said, her tone almost pleading.
"Well, that's not what you said on the note" He fired back, making Tigress stumbled backwards.
"That's what I want to talk about, I didn't write the note" She answered.
"Oh really? Then who wrote this?" He said, shoving the note in her face. She took it in her paws and glared at it, she had a smirk on her face, but she still seemed upset.
"You know me better than this Po, I don't write like this!" She said, almost teasing him by not acknowledging the fact that she wrote differently.
Well, it makes sense. She didn't write it.
But she did! She probably just feels pity for me! HA, well I'm going to show her that I don't need her fake smiles.
But maybe she is not, maybe she is being serious about this, maybe she does love me.
Po stopped thinking for a minute, trying to make sense of the things he was being told.
"Tigress, just leave it" He said turning around.
"No, Po. I know who did it! It was So" She got cut off.
""TIGRESS! Just leave it, besides, is not like you can do anything about it. I'm already engaged" He yelled.
Tigress swallowed hard.
No, no, no. I must be dreaming, this is not real!
She looked at Po, she pinched herself, and making sure it wasn't just a nightmare. She started breathing heavily, her heart stopping, spinning around the word 'engaged'… With who?
Song came in and watched the scene before her. She smiled and approached Po, swaying her hips as if she were on a fashion show. Swishing her tail from one side to another, until she got to where Po was, she wrapped her tail around his ankle and started to rub her head against his chest. Knowing that Tigress was watching all this.
Tigress could have growled, ripped her apart, bite her, kick and punch, but right now, all she could do was watch, too shock to do anything, still getting the main idea on her mind.
"How you doing sweetie, or should I say… fiancée" Song purred.
This is it, I am done for. I am dead, no… I'm living a nightmare! Song is…. Married to Po. And here I am, too late to say anything. Too late to confess, too late… to catch my true love.
TiPo me: Song is married to PO!?
Normal me: hehehehe, I…
TiPo me: *pushed me to the floor and starts fighting*
Normal me: Ahhh! You guys…..*receives a punch* review…. *kicks* and see you soon…
TiPo Me: I wouldn't count on that!
-Peace out :(
