TiPo ME: Oh, I'm not done with you!
Normal Me: Oh oh, see you! *Runs ways*
Chapter 13
She stopped breathing, she couldn't believe the turn of events, only a few days ago, she still stood a chance, and now… now she had lost, she had nothing left. Well, she did have her reputation, her friends, her tittle, but she didn't have Po. And for her, that was all that matter.
"Oh hey Tigress" Song finally greeted her, she faked a smile at her and let go off Po. She approached her, she might be engaged, but that didn't mean she wasn't still scared of Master Tigress…. Tigress could still beat the crap out of her if she wanted to.
Tigress hold back a growl, and her tears. She just glared at her, not caring if Po saw her. Is not like it matter anymore, Po had chosen Song. So no longer was it important to hide her feelings, not the hatred towards the feline, nor her love towards the panda. But right now, she was showing the hatred.
Po was watching Tigress, most precisely, her scarlet eyes that always got tangled in his heart. But this time, he could see her emotions on them, she was glaring at Song. In that moment, he knew that Tigress hated her. Something he had quite expected, but never bothered to notice. But he pushed it aside and saw something else. Pain.
Why would there be pain, unless…
Song was now standing in front of Tigress. Waving her paw in front of her face, showing off the ring in her finger.
"Isn't it pretty, Tigress?" Song said, a little bit of mocking in her voice, that didn't go unnoticed by her fiancée.
Tigress just watched the ring, there was something about it that caught her eyes, she lean forward, so she could look at it more closely,
Weird, huh? It has Ti written on it.
She pulled back, and glared at Song.
"Po proposed to me today! Isn't he sweet?!" Song mentioned in a bragging tone, as if Tigress cared, she started to wrap her arms around his waist. Po was lingering on the scarlet eyes, wondering what they were going to do next, he almost forgot about Song, he wasn't even aware that her arms were wrapped around him. He was just looking at Tigress.
Tigress looked up, her fiery eyes met his for a second, Po gasped quietly, something felt weird, he didn't feel the butterflies this time, he felt the whole zoo. Tigress looked away, now her eyes were on Song's icy ones. They both were glaring at each other.
"Yes, he is sweet. Congratulations" She said, looking straight in her eyes. In a quick motion she turned around, but before leaving she looked at Po.
"To both of you". She turned to Song and started exiting.
"You are a lucky girl" She muttered. Song didn't heard her, since she was no longer paying attention to her. But Po did. Part of his heart started breaking, Tigress really valued him, but he pushed her away. And he didn't know what to do. He had already proposed to Song, and there was no going back in that.
Flashback… (When Po proposed)
Po had taken Song on a date. But this time he was planning on proposing to her. He already had a ring. He had originally picked the ring for Tigress, that's why it had her name on it, well, the nickname he used for her.
The ring wasn't gold. He knew that Tigress's wasn't a big fan of gold. The ring was silver. It had red diamonds around it, but in the middle there was a sapphire in the shape of a heart. In the inside, it had 'Ti' written on it. It was written on silver. No one could really notice it, unless you are looking closely, like he hoped Song wouldn't do.
He sighed, Tigress was on the past now. She was history. At least that's what he forced himself to think. Always shoving his feelings for her away.
He walked over to the Peach tree, where he had set up a little picnic for both of them to eat and talk and sit.
After making sure everything was in order, Song finally came. He smiled at her, part of his smile was pretend, he didn't know why though.
Song was giggling at the fact that he had made a romantic date for both of them, glad that Tigress did not stand a chance with him anymore. She sat down and rested her head on his shoulder. Po was sitting down, he put his arm around her and they both stared at the village in front of them, it was an amazing view.
After a while, they both stated chatting and eating. Having a great time. Po was still feeling uneasy, his mind was somewhere else than on the girl before him. He felt something was wrong, something was missing, but he couldn't figure out what, or mostly he didn't wanted to know.
After a while that feeling melted away.
The sun started setting and they were both done with their meals. Po thought it was time. He stood in front of her and got on one knee, if it were Tigress, he would have done something differently, maybe so she wouldn't say it was cliché. But this was no longer about Tigress, and he knew that he shouldn't care about what Tigress thinks, but about Song.
Song was staring at Po, her heart beating faster and faster. Until she heard those words,
"Song, you are one of the most wonderful girls… I… Would you marry me?" Po said, he was going to say that he loves her, but… he just couldn't bring himself to do so.
Still, he asked her, and that was the goal.
Song was squealing, and jumping up and down. She had a really big a smile on her face.
"YES, YES, YES, YES!" She said, hugging Po and giving him tons of kisses. Po just smiled. He was happy, but something that one would call 'superficial happiness'.
That's when he started to put the ring on her hand, she was so happy, she was filled with bliss.
'HA, take that Tigress!' She thought.
They both started walking to the barracks…
End of flashback (You know the rest)…
Now Song had gotten what she wanted to make Tigress jealous, and of course, marry Po.
With Tigress….
She was on her room, she was breathing heavily, forcing herself, trying so hard, to not cry. She wasn't going to do that. She didn't wanted.
But she was crushed, Po had chosen Song, he didn't wanted to talk to her, he…. He was gone. But yet, there was something in his eyes. Yes, when they saw each other, there was a spark. It could have been her imagination, but it was too real to be that.
She sighed, she remembered something else. The ring. It had her nickname written in it. Only Po called her that. It couldn't just be coincidence that it had her name clearly written on it. And that Po was the owner, or at least the original one, of the ring.
But is like Po said, even if he liked her, there is nothing to be done know, he is already engaged…. Or is there? (I wrote that for my brother, inside joke)
With the couple…
Po and Song where still in the kitchen. Except that now Song had a scroll and a paint brush, and of course a little beaker with ink. She was planning on the wedding now.
"So where do you want it to be?" She asked. Po was still trying to digest the look on Tigress's eyes.
"Where ever you want" He mumbled.
"Very well, Oooh, I know this little place that looks like a castle but smaller, yes! That will be it!" She said and started writing it down.
"And when do you want it to be?" She asked.
"When you want" He said, not paying attention to her.
"Ok… let me think… 3 days from now!" She nodded and started writing the date.
"Ok, the main things have been taken care of, now I'm just going to get my dress and I will do the invitations!" She said, she stood up and give him a quick peck on his lips, then headed off.
She was so excited for it, for her dress, for the invitations, for the cake…. One thing was for sure, Tigress couldn't do anything now to ruin this!
With Po…
He was still on the kitchen. He was now processing what Song just told him. They were going to get married on 3 days!
3 days!? I still have to pick my suit and…huh, I don't have much things to do. Oh wait, and a cake. I will tell my dad if he could do the honor, I will tell him tomorrow.
He went to the Peach tree, trying to clear his mind. But it didn't work, instead, he was bombarded by new thoughts. But something kept showing itself. Something that really put him to think, that made him hesitate, that made his heart skip a beat.
Was he doing the right decision? Everything said that he was, but mostly her eyes. Tigress's eyes were yelling at him, saying that he shouldn't be marrying Song. Now it was his turn to decide, was he going to look at them, was he going to ignore her scarlet orbs?
Well…. Never knew that Tigress's eyes were so special, huh? Anyway, I hope you like this chapter! Please leave your reviews (Another 3?) And I will be updating soon, like always!
-Peace out :)
