Chapter 2: A Love To Be Praised
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT KNOW THE EVENTS OF CHINA NOR DO I INTEND TO. DO NOT TAKE IT SO HARSHLY.
Tigress noticed a rose, but it was not ordinary. The petals were sliced Ruby and the stem was steel, signifying fury(ruby) and strength(steel), the blend created the signed powers of love. This particular flower was called a "Love Marker." (Item Note: This item was invented in my own idea, therefore it's Birth is here and now.) A Love Marker is a special flower only blended with a gem and material to specify the heart felt bond, and three scents can be chosen. Two scents on chosen petals as to signify the individual's likes, or personality. Tofu is her personal food, as the training hall smell is of her personality that was obtained within. The third which resides in the middle, is the signature and most important of all, it either identifies the giver. Peaches is Po's personal fruit and most active. Therefore, being signed off as him!
She sets the flower near her, but soon noticed the scent of peaches covered the scent of a letter. She opens it, reads, and smiles saying to no one important other than herself, "Of course Po! I would love to." Po already fast asleep, though this time sleeping peacefully with no snoring at all is also in a deep sleep. Though, a smile perks up in his face.
Morning arrives as Master Shifu has announced today being the Dragon festival. That meant the warriors had this time to themselves. (Clothing Note: Tigress has on a Blaze-Red kimono black trim showing strength. Crane wore a silver plated hat as his hat with its outer ring being gold. Viper recolored her characters on her back gold with the help of Mantis and Crane for the occasion. Mantis had only the back golden. Po wore his robe of gold with a jade trim along with a golden straw hat.)
Po had woken up early setting each their respected bowls of noodles, Tigress's was specially made with burning spices as she liked it. He settled in his room for until he was to be the last out of the Jade Palace hoping everyone has left. Unbeknownst to him, Tigress was waiting, leaning against the Jade Palace doors which were open as the panda arrived. Both examined each other before speaking, Tigress going first, "Hm… You seem to dress up nicely, Dragon Warrior!", as she smirked one brow up as the other descended waiting for his reply. "And for a lady of awesomeness!" Said with a little hype. "You are stunning in a kimono!" She seemed rather delighted but kept her calm attitude replying with, "Thank you, Po." He then lifted his arm in an offer, "would you mind?" She then spoke with a surprise, she hugged his arm as she laid her head on his arm purring. "I would definitely be delighted too!" They headed down the stairs to the event.
The Dragons Festival was an event celebrating the Dragon Warrior. As they made there way through the Valley, Tigress smirked with one glance at a training dummy challenge and asked, "Think you can manage?" He looked at her and said, "Only if your ready to lose!" They headed towards the dummy and told the owner to start the game. He plucked a lever and both mechanisms came to life, lashing and swinging. Tigress blocking most of the attacks and making sure she had delivered the favor back, as for Po. He had no trouble like Tigress. Around the corner had been two kids challenging each other for the bulls-eye score, one held it back about to shoot when his friend tripped him. He lost his balance and fired to the sky over the area behind him. Po was happy he was finally able to show Tigress how to have true fun! But he saw a flying arrow from the bow and arrow games heading towards her. She noticed but had no time to react, although Po knew better and thought ahead. He broke off an arm earlier and with bump and swift kick making it flew up and shot up till it dropped towards Po, he then spin kicked the board straight towards to the projectile. Instantly, the arrow head struck and got stuck on the board and fell. Tigress then said with a smile, "The win is yours, Po! Always got to be the hero, right?" Po then look at her, eye to eye saying, "As long as you remain alive. I will always have a motive! Besides, you're the most precious feline I've come to known..." At that moment, he started to blush when he heard the crowd of people cheering at his statement. They were now close as Po held her hand, looking at her beautiful amber eyes, and slowly brought her in for their kiss The Panda had read a scroll on how to make a moment extra special, for he made sure to be extra slow to build up the suspense for the kiss. Finally, he stopped the torture as their lips locked deeply in moment. Nothing could be heard, or mattered, and it was rather the most peaceful moment shared by both! Only little blush shown by Tigress due to her orange fur, but Po's was quite noticeable. They finally broke, and the panda had whispered to her in between breaths, "I love you, Tigress." Tigress couldn't help but smile as their eyes mesmerized each other. They just began to walk off as the crowd cheered on. The camera changes view from a cliff. There stood a lone figure with entities behind him. He wore an eyepatch, a black hood among his coat. He was black from top to bottom! His red eye looking towards the Valley. "Po, you better be careful! I will come home soon...friend!" A white cloaked white furred creature comes from behind him and massages his shoulders, "Honey, we must go back to the camp...we cannot take long for our temple will be loned without a Lord!" The dark figure had looked back at her light blue, beautiful eyes. "My mistake, but we must be ready for the oncoming battle... The day will rise once the Dragon roars and the Pheonix is reborn!"
