And here's the aftermath of the Jade Palace Winter Feast.

Chapter 24: Extraordinary Event

Soon after, the masters greeted everyone a fine farewell as they left the Jade Palace, thanking the masters for having this the most wonderful experiences ever and they looked at Oak Sung and told him that he was their inspiration for doing what they do and Oak politely thanked them for saying that towards them and that it was an honor to meet them all.

Suddenly, they looked at Max and said that it was a pleasure to actually meet him and the cub couldn't quite get why they were so focused on him, but he remained polite and humble as possible and one of them said, "Will you be back next year?"

"I guess." Max answered, innocently.

Most of them turned to Mako and Reiko and he said to them, "I definitely think it is an honor to meet your father and your wonderful family."

"Thank you, sir." Mako replied.

All of the other masters turned to the Jade Palace masters and congratulated Po and Tigress for their hosting duties and it definitely made both of them feel good about what they've done and he said to them, "You make excellent hosts, both of you. I really commend you for your efforts. Hopefully next year, you two can just enjoy the moment because it is the only thing we have to do. Just enjoy the present."

That definitely rung truth to Po as soon as he heard it, like it was something Master Oogway said to him after his first night as the Dragon Warrior and he replied, "We will."

"And by the way...the little cub here; he literally lit up the feast tonight. I think you should have him as next year's guest of honor." another master stated.

That definitely surprised by the masters and Tigress was essentially disgusted with the fact that Max stole the show throughout the whole thing; as well as being asked to become next year's guest of honor and has hidden a deep amount of resentment towards him, but keeps it low-key so no one else would know. Shifu clears his throat and replied, "The Bushido-Akio's are always welcome here. They actually helped out this whole thing along with my students."

"Bet it took a lot of weight off their shoulders, huh?" asked another master.

"Most definitely." Crane replied.

"Well...I gotta say, well done to all of you. We will meet again next feast." another master replied after bowing to them.

The masters bowed back to them as they departed out of the Jade Palace and Master Shifu turned to his students and said, "Another job well done, students. Our feast was a success once again. Po and Tigress...I'm very proud of you both for your roles as hosts for the entire event."

"Thanks, Master Shifu." they replied.

Then, Shifu turned to the Bushido-Akio family and said to them, "Thank you all for attending this event and making it a bigger success. Maximus...that outfit of yours definitely brought everyone's attention."

"Um...thanks, Shifu." Max said.

"Yeah, who knew you would wear something so elegant?" asked Viper, blown away.

Max smiled a little bit and just rose his straw hat up and replied, "It was something I threw on. Grandpa suggested that I would wear it to make myself more presentable for the holidays."

Now everyone was shocked to see that Oak Sung was the mastermind behind this outfit and Oak replied, "I used to wear it when I was his age."

"Very dapper. I bet a lot of girls will go crazy after that outfit." Monkey said, smiling.

"Nah...girls are gross." Max replied.

Suddenly, most of the girls cleared their throat and some said, 'excuse me' towards him and Max quickly said, "Not all of them."

Po elbowed Max with a chuckle and said, "It could happen, you know."

Mako chuckled at this and rubbed Max's forehead a little bit and turned to the others and said, "Thank you for inviting us. This is one event we'll never forget."

"Maybe that could be a new Bushido-Akio tradition." Musaki suggested.

Oak chuckled at this and said, "We'll see what happens."

Everyone bid them a fine farewell and the masters wished them a happy holiday and as soon as they left, Po lets out a huge sigh of relief and said, "Finally...we got that out of the way. If anyone needs me, I'll be asleep because planning this thing has gotten me worn out."

"It got us all worn out, Po." Shifu corrected.

While everyone was satisfied with how the feast went, Tigress was the only one that didn't seem that happy with how it went...simply because of Max. She just went from a little bit jealous to full-fledged bitter and spiteful towards the tiger cub because some of the 29 kung-fu masters and teachers gathered their attention towards Max and she wished she could've thrown him out in front of the crowd.

"Hey, Tigress...you coming?"

Tigress turned around and saw Po standing on the door and she said, with hidden bitterness in her voice, "Yeah, I'm coming."

Po noticed something in her voice like it sounded like she was angry about something and he said, "You okay?"

"No, I'm not. I feel like this has all gone wrong." Tigress answered.

"How can you say that? We pulled it off, didn't we? Also...I didn't mess anything up this time. That ought to make you the most relieved." Po stated.

"Yes, we pulled it off. And yes...you didn't mess anything up for once." Tigress answered.

"So...what's the problem?" Po asked.

Tigress lets out a hidden growl when she answered, "It's Max. I hate him with every fiber of my kung-fu being."

Po froze for a second and realizes that he just heard Tigress say he hated Max with every fiber of her and he said, "Now you know you don't mean that."

"I do, Po." Tigress replied.

"What has he done to you, Ti?" asked Po.

"You know what he's done to me, Po." Tigress stated, bitterly.

Po blinked his eyes a few times and replied, "No, I don't. I don't see why you'd hate a little kid. Besides that, it's not on our control."

"Well, it should be in my control. I would've thrown him out and then the feast would've been more perfect without him around." Tigress growled.

Po sighed heavily at this and said, "Can we talk about this tomorrow? I promised Max that I'd go holiday shopping."

Tigress suddenly turned to Po with that dangerous glare and got super mad at him for making a promise to Max for something she knew nothing about and Po's only response was, "Okay...good night."

After Po left, Tigress got back to the palace and she could not really bring herself to admit that she's jealous of Max and everything that he's gone through and got over it with a sense of optimism in him and she's always holding onto it for a long time and became cold and angry all the time.

"Why can't I just be like him?" Tigress asked.

That was kinda extended a little because I wanted to have a Po/Tigress moment where they talk about the event and ended up with Tigress showing a little bit of jealousy towards Max for stealing the show. Stay tuned for more!
