Chapter 2
Once Tigress got him to the Jade Palace, she almost immediately had to get him back down to the village since the medics were going to treat Po in a hospital. Once Po was settled in, he was at his room alone until Master Shifu came in.
"You like Tigress don't you."
If Po had milk in mouth at the time he was asked, well more like a statement, about this he would have spat the milk all over Master Shifu.
'I think he's on to me,' Po thought. 'Ok got to act causal.'
"Wha-wha-what makes you say that? Ha ha haha" Po said nervously. 'Yup real casual, way to go Po, that was really smooth,' Po thought sarcastically.
"Are you serious?" Master Shifu said. "It's pretty obvious…"
"It is?"
"Is training when Tigress is training obvious?"
"…maybe."
"Well anyway you should probably tell her."
"So the first thing you decided to say once I recovered and wake up in a hospital, is this? You're joking right? Oh wait, I forgot you never joke…right?"
"Of course I never joke. I'm serious Po, you should tell her."
"Aannnddd why is that?"
"Well you see I don't exactly understand myself but I saw this vision while I was meditating, and it's the future vision to be exact."
"Oooo the future, what did you see? Me and Tigress got married or something?"
"No, I saw a bunch of people wasting their time on unintelligent stuff"
"…and that's my reason to tell Tigress I love her?"
"No, just listen we're getting there. So the reason these people were doing crazy things like this was because of YOLO."
"YOLO?"
"Yes, You Only Live Once, meaning since you only have one life, you should just tell Tigress your feelings even if it seems stupid to you because you only got one life, meaning you can't waste a chance like this!... i think"
Po was well speechless, he only thought things half way through the process to the conclusion that if we only live once then shouldn't we try to stay alive as best as possible? He decided that his master may not be on the right state of mind right now and decided not to think too hard about it. Instead he decided that being the good student he was, he should help his Master a bit by…
"Master Shifu…" Po began, "I think your dumpling deprived, here have some." Po magically hold up a bowl of dumplings.
"…I think so too, what non-sense I have been speaking."
Po could only silently agree and while they were both silently eating dumplings the door to his room opened. Tigress appeared by the door way.
"Hey…" Tigress said.
"Hey…"Po replied.
"Oh yeah Po, I forgot to mention, you should stay in the hospitable and rest and stay out of fights," Master Shifu said.
"What!? I can't do that! I got to help and defeat the bad guys! Not sit here and be a couch potato!" Po exclaimed.
"If only you were like this every day…" Tigress said mumbling. "But Po, Master Shifu is right. You're injured and if you don't rest it'll never heal."
Po could only reluctantly agree and that's when Shifu decided to act pretty awkward.
"I feel like I should go, it feels tense in here," Master Shifu said and before he left he winked at Po and Po could only think about how seriously disturbing that was since his master isn't like…the winking type?
"So… How's your arm and leg? "Tigress said.
"Terrible, they won't heal until a couple of months," Po replied.
"Well isn't that reassuring."
Po could only smile at Tigress's sarcastic statement. They started talking about a few things here and there and soon everyone came. His dad brought his soup, worried that Po will suffer from hospital food and may I add, didn't worry in the slightest about how Po could actually be suffering from the injury he has. The very reason why he was in the hospital. Why wasn't he worried? Well the conversation went a little something like this…
"Dad… are you not worried about how my leg and arm is broken?" Po said.
"Mmmm nope!" said joyfully.
"…why?"
"Because I believe my soup has healing properties so your injury will heal in not time."
"An injury? That's an understatement when we found him his arms and legs looked disgustingly twisted. Oh and Crane almost threw up." Monkey said, adding on to the conversation.
"Thanks for reminding me…" Crane said looking queasy.
"I probably would have thrown up, but I don't think Mantises can throw up…Actually I heard we can throw up if we eat carrot crickets, you see we get sick and spit out this black goo and-" Mantis said about to go on about this "interesting topic."
"Please… no more. Reminding me of Po's arm is good enough for one day."
"Whoa, you're actually looking a little green... Kind of like Mantis and Viper!" Monkey said excitedly.
"Thank you for stating the obvious," Viper said. "You should have your new title be Captain Obvious."
"Really!? Sounds awesome!" It was silent for a moment and that's when Monkey came with this realization. "...That is a good title right?"
And that was also how we got to talking about not worried about his son's injury to Monkey getting his new found title. All in all they had a good time until it was time for them to go train and Mr. Ping needed to tend to his shop. Only one person decided to stay behind, surprisingly it was Tigress since we could all agree she's the most disciplined in the group. Even Po was surprised but also a bit happy.
"Soo Tigress-," Po began only to be cut off by Tigress.
"How did he catch you off guard?"
It was a simple question that wasn't very specific at all so it would be hard to tell what she meant, but Po knew. He knew all too well what the question meant. How did he almost got killed in battle? He was supposed to be the Dragon Warrior for goodness sake! When Po thought about it more, he didn't want to say because he remembered he got distracted… He thought he heard Tigress scream for help but that could have been anybody! It could have just been a villager and telling Tigress that he thought he heard her scream was just embarrassing. When Po stayed silent Tigress could only sigh and say…
"Well… It doesn't matter, you're safe now"
"Yeah…"
"…Are you hungry?"
"What?"
"If you're hungry, I can feed you some soup"
Now this was an opportunity he couldn't miss. Tigress feeding HIM soup. His crush was going to feed HIM the panda that she kept insulting saying how he's too slow, his pain tolerance is terrible or this and that-
"Po?" Tigress said interrupting his thoughts.
"Oh sorry just thinking. Sure I would like some soup."
That's how they spent the rest of the time together until it got too late. Tigress feeding him soup, occasionally they would talk and Po would make a joke or two. When it was time for Tigress to leave she couldn't help but be engrossed in her own thoughts.
'I was really worried at that time...I almost thought Po was going to... to die' Tigress finally accepted the fact, in her thoughts, in all honesty that Po was going to die when she heard him scream. ' I ran after him and i wanted to tell him...' Tigress blushed a little at her own thoughts.
Now i'm pretty sure we all know what she was about to think. Unfortunately Tigress is pretty stubborn and wouldn't want to say those three words, even in her head. The thought of herself saying that just seems too unreal for her and so she continued home with her thought processed not completely done. Po, on the other hand was seriously contemplating about YOLO even though he already told Master Shifu that he was "dumpling deprived."
'Maybe, I should tell her... I mean, I only live once right?' Po thought.
Everyone was off doing their own thing. Now what was Shifu doing this while time after his hospitable trip to Po? Well he was meditating seeing all kinds of other visions.
"Huh, why are they dumping a bucket of ice water on their heads..."
Done! Hoped you like the chapter! man, I was laughing so hard throughout the whole thing, oh and the comment about Mantises throwing up... that's actually true, my friend searched it up. Gross...
Anyway, review and I will update soon... I think
-Peace out:)
