Chapter 3
"No!"
Po shot up, breathing heavily. His was beating so fast he felt like it was going to shoot out of his chest. He was in his room at the Palace. It was night time. A small, sudden light from outside his room came to life, casting a faint shadow to stick itself the paper walls. Po's breathing was slowly getting back to normal rate as breathed out a shaky whisper;
"Hello?"
The door suddenly opened and a figure slipped in.
"Po?" It whispered.
Po knew that voice, it was a stern, yet gentle voice...
"Tigress? Tigress, it that you!"
"Sh! You'll wake the others, and yes it's me."
Po jumped up and hugged the tiger tightly, startling her as he lifted her off the floor.
"Your OK!" He whispered. Tigress suddenly forgot her shock, and was now curious.
"I'm OK?" She questioned in a confused tone.
"Yeah your alive! Tai-lung and Shen killed you and then you were an angel with the wings and all the flying powers and melted the side of Shen's face with a yin and yang fire ball-"
The panda went faster and faster every now and again, but then Tigress stopped him.
"I was killed by Tai-lung and Shen? Since when? Po their the ones who are dead not me."
Po was suddenly embarrassed.
It was all a dream?
Po was so confused he burst into tears as he let Tigress down onto the floor. Tigress was suddenly worried as Po let out tearful sobs, but was still a little confused at the same time.
Was it something she said?
"Po..." She whispered softly as she pushed the thought to the side. Po continued to cry in a sorrowful manner, he slowed down as Tigress slowly held his paw and guided him back to his bed, sitting him down with her.
"Tell me everything, from start to finish." She said.
She continued to hold his paw as Po told her about the dream. He didn't tell everything at first, but then bit by bit, he spoke in great detail, including the part when Shen sent her the knife that made her life come to a close. Tigress let go of his paw after he said everything.
"I'm sorry you had to experience such a nightmare Po," she said in a slightly sad tone. Po bowed his head in fear.
"The worse part wasn't the guys getting covered in blood and guts, or facing Tai-Lung and Shen again, it was when Shen killed you and all I did was stand there and watch him do it." Po said without thinking. Tigress froze for a few seconds. Tigress tilted her head to the side slightly, blushing slightly as she stood up.
"I didn't know you care about me that much..." She whispered. While saying that she stood up as she turned her back on him, folding her arms and hiding her smile. Po stared at her, eyes wide and mouth open. Tigress raised an eyebrow at the panda's actions when she turned her head back to him, completely forgetting what she said a few seconds ago.
"What?" She questioned.
"You never knew how much you mean to me Tigress! Your the reason I wake up in the morning, the reason I train everyday until I pass out, the reason I laugh at evil in the face... the reason I'm alive after Shen shot you with the cannon! I can't live without you Tigress because-"
Po paused as he cover his mouth, realising what he just said. His eyes darted down to the floor as Tigress' ears pricked up at the each reason he spoke of about her.
Damn my big mouth! he cussed.
Tigress turned her body around slowly, her Amber eyes meeting Po's Jade Orbs as he looked up at her. Po stood up slowly as Tigress walked a little closer to him, until their noses were nearly touching.
"Because..." Tigress said, wondering what the panda was about to say.
Po took a deep breath, knowing there was no turning back now.
"Because... I love you Tigress... you meant so much to me right from the start. When you and the five were introduced to the Valley, I only had a pathetic fanboy crush on you... but not anymore, my love for you had deepened when you saved me from the cannon shot, and nearly died in front of me..."
Po sighed shakily as he reached out and held the feline's paw as he got up. He leaned in closer until their foreheads were barely touching.
"When I look at you Tigress... I see you as the definition of Natural Beauty..." Po whispered.
Tigress' heart stopped.
That's how he felt about me? Even after the way I treated him when he first came to the palace?
"Po..." Tigress breathed out.
Po gulped.
"Y-yes?" Asked Po in fear.
Tigress just shook her head, mouth open a few cemtimetres.
Po gulped and was about to turn away, but then Tigress cupped his cheek and moved his head to look at her. Her eyes were shining with happiness and passion.
They leaned in.
Arms held each other as they sealed their kiss.
Tongues began to dance.
This went on for about 10 seconds, until they broke apart for some air. They smiled at one another as they held each other. After breaking links, Tigress retreated back to her room.
*Song.*
*Tigress thinking about Po at this part.*
The day we met,
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I'd found a home for my heart...
Beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more...
*Po is thinking about Tigress in this part*
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more...
*The to love birds tell the others the next morning*
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer...
*Six months Later, Po and Tigress were married.*
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more...
*And Po never experienced another horrific nightmare again.*
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more...
The End!
Hope you liked it everyone!
