Reminisce old memories

Chapter 3

As the last night that Tigress and Po would spend in the Valley of Peace slowly came to an end, the sky above started turning brighter and brighter with each passing moment. Te big white ball rolled down behind the mountais and in its place came the yellow orb, the same orb which can make a happy day, a warm or a hot one. But this time that same orb announced the tragedy that was soon to take place.

The sleeping master of the Tiger style slowly began to wake up, the stains of tears still visible on her face. For the second time in 20 years she felt weak, unable to do anything and wanting to give up. Tigress turned around and slowly got up from her bed and walked towards her door. The gong would not ring for at least another hour. She got dressed and walked out of the barracks towards the palace doors, down the 1000 steps and into the one place she was alway welcome no matter what. Mr. Pings noodle shop.

"Sorry we're still closed!" the old goose yelled from behind the counter not looking at her. When he turned around and saw who he had yelled to he imedeately smiled and hugged Tigress much to her surprise.

"What was that for Mr. Ping?" Tigress asked a little confused.

"Oh for keeping your promise on protecting my son ofcourse" Tigress' heart sank to the bottom of her chest when she heard those words. Yes shw may have saved Po once from shens cannon, but how was she supposed to save him from death now. She looked down at the floor, her ears flat agains her head as a few tears came down her cheaks.

When Mr. Ping saw this he tried to comfort her the best he could. "Po is still upstairs you may go to him if you want."

She nodded gently and went to Po's room. When she came up she could hear feint sobs coming out of his room. She opened the door gently and walked inside only to see the once mighty Dragon Warrior sleeping in his bed crying.

Despite the circumstances Tigress managed to smile a little knowing how much this panda cared for her. She slowly made her way to Po sitting next to his bed. She wiped off his tears with her paw gently which in turn made Po wake up. When he saw who was next to him he emmideately darted up and pulled her into a giant hug still sobbing quietly. Tigress held him tight a few tears leaving her amber eyes aswell.

"Tigress I can't lose you." Po sobbed into her shoulder. This time it was Tigress' turn to comfort him.

"Po somehow we'll manage. I promise to never leave your side." She smiled slightly.

With those words new hope lit up in those jade green eyes that Tigress loved to look at. A hope so bright that even if all light in the world gathered at one place his eyes would shine brighter. Po stood up and offered Tigress a paw. She took his paw and Po quickly led them out of the shop into the street where people were gathering.

"Po what is this. I didn't know there was another festival coming." Tigress said with a surprised tone.

"There isn't. After last night i realized something." Po said softly and pulled tigress into a passionate kiss. At first Tigress felt tense, uneasy, but soon she melted into the kiss infront of the whole valley. Some people left their jaws hang open while others d'aawwwed and still other cheered at the two.

When the two lovebirds finally broke for air Po smiled at Tigress and looked to the open space right before the 1000 steps. There was a crude yet durable stage with a few musicians from the village they saved a few weeks ago.

"Are those…" Tigress began to ask but Po cut her off.

"They owed us a favor for saving their village so i called it in." Po gave his usual grin which made Tigress blush immensly.

"Po you arranged a concert for the Valley?" Tigress asked softly.

"No. Not for the Valley. For you" Po almost whispered and made his way to the stage.

Tigress looked surprised and yet she wanted to see what will happen next. When she heard Po sing the few times she was enchanted by his voice. So obviously there was no reason not to be interested.

When Po got up on the stage there was already a crowd of people gathering. But what he didn't know was that Master Shifu and the rest of the Five were coming down the steps behind him. They were about halfway when the musicians started playing a song. A song which ment to Po more than anything in the world right now. Except for Tigress ofcourse.

"Is that….Po?" Monkey asked confused but was shushed by the rest as they wanted to hear what was going on.

The music echoed softly through the valley, everyone could hear it but what mattered to Po was that his tiger could hear it.

My best friend gave me the best advice

He said each day's a gift & not a given right
Leave no stone unturned
Leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less travelled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause
There's no second try
So live like you're never livin twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
Would you call those friends you've never seen?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one your dreaming of?
Swear up & down to God above
That you'll finally fall in love?
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make it up by mending a broken heart
You know it's never too late
To shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind
A moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

Slowly but surely Po finished the song and the people of the Valley began to cheer. But what happened next made the entire Valley of Peace go quiet. Po pulled Tigress on the stage and kissed her infront of everybody. Now remember the expression crane had when Tigress hugged Po in the prison of Gongmen City? Well that is how master Shifu looked when he stood mere feet behind Po and Tigress on the stage.

So my daughter has found comfort in this panda? He thought to himslef. Shifu then let out a little chuckle. As long as she is happy i will not stand in their way.

Shifu began to loose himself in his memories of how he felt when he was young. How it felt when he first fell in love. And how crushed he was when she died in a bandit attack. From that moment on he devoted his life to Kung Fu under Master Oogway. Master Shifu let out a small sigh as a look of sadness crept onto his face, his eyes threatening to let droplets of water run free.
