~~~ A talk with a friend~~~

There was a knock, so faint so light Viper had hardly heard it. She turned her head to see the shadow of a slim figure in front of her door.

Viper rolled her eyes. Not door, paper one which concealed almost nothing. Privacy, was not a thing provided in the Jade palace much to her annoyance.

"You can come in Tigress"

Her only female companion gave an audible sigh before she slid the door and entered hesitantly." You're awake"

"Were you hoping that I wasn't?" She replied and the girl looked away." No" but Viper knew Tigress long enough to know it was a lie.

Her relationship with Tigress was not one that she could explain with words. Tigress was nothing like her sisters, many would eventually say that her company was boring and her sullen aura would keep them ten steps away from changing that.

But not her. She was determined. Determined to go past the walls her new friend had created for selfish reasons at first. A friend with whom she could gossip or kill time with sleepovers in this boys wonderland. That was what she wanted at first. After many failed attempts and insults, She had given up.An attitude with no reason. Viper had decided that her brain was too thick and she was too proud of her abilities.

Must be from a rich family. She had thought but Oogway corrected her. Tigress wasn't from a rich family, she had no family at all. No home, proud parents or siblings to whom she could sent letters to.

It was a shocking revelation. If any other had told her she wouldn't have believed it. Tigress was not proud, never proud instead it was something she had desperately needed to do. She didn't think highly of her self, it was the very opposite. She wanted the village to be proud of her, not afraid. She wanted her adopted father to be proud of her, not disappointed. Something Viper had desired too once. Viper looked down, ashamed. She had judged her. She was no better than those in that orphanage.

From that day, Viper was determined Not out of pity or guilt, to break her walls. She had conceder Tigress as her friend and as a friend she would act. She had tried a different approach. One with more caution and care. And it had worked. Day by day there was a change in Tigress. Minor and only visible to her blue eyes but it was there, it was present and it was progress.

Years had passed and Tigress had become a little open to her. A little. Viper had managed to put a crack on her wall but her hammer wasn't strong enough. That is, until he came. Po had done what she wasn't able to do in a decade, in only 3 years. Tigress was changing, healing rapidly and everyone could see it.

"What's wrong?" Viper asked, Tigress face was stern and soft but her eyes were Distant as if lost in a world of their own.

She sighed and sat down on her bed. Rubbing her temples simultaneously." I really don't know."

Viper slithered to her." You can tell me."

"I know I can" Tigress responded." But I don't know how."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know"

She looked down." I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'll leav-"

"Tigress, what's wrong?" Viper asked concern leaked through her voice. Tigress sighed. Tell her what exactly? She closed her eyes and cursed Po under her breath. What ever was happening to her was his fault one way or the other.

"It's Po." She finally said

" Po? What about him?"

"I don't know Viper. I seriously don't know. When I see him wave at me or praise me, I feel heat rising to my checks and.. And when he smiles I feel as if my heart would bust out of my chest. I find myself staring at him and smiling, admiring him and smiling, thinking about him and smiling." Viper listened, mouth agape with credulity.

"Some times I think things that I'm not suppose to. His eyes they..take me somewhere. I get lost in them, in some kind of trance. When he touches me in spars or just normally it sends heat rays all around my body and It burns through my very core."

Tigress shook her head ." I don't know how Viper but I think.. I think I'm..I'm" she trailed off and shook her head again.

"You are?" Viper urged.

"I'm.."

"Oh, Come on Tigress! Say it already!"

"Infected with some sort of new disease"

"What!?"

"It is the only logical explanation." Tigress explained." A disease name Po-ei-ya or something."

She sighed." Are you serious, Tigress?"

"Yes I'm. So what do you think?"

"I think you're perfectly normal." She said and shrugged." Just do what you do and one day you'll know the answer by yourself."

It was logical. Viper had expected it for awhile. Po had taken a place in Tigress heart. A place she didn't know existed. She slightly smiled. How grateful she was to that panda for coming in her life. He had not only helped her break her wall, he had done something she could only think in dreams.

"So I'm not sick?"

Viper shook her head. Tigress must find it out on her own." So Po-ei-ya will disappear with time?"

"Hopefully" Not. she added mentally.

Tigress nodded and got up." I thought this was serious enough to make Shifu stop me from training." She smiled."I'll leave now."

"Sure" Viper chuckled and nodded.

"Thank you" she said and left.

Tigress walked to her room and turned around to see Po's. she could hear the slow humming sound of his snores.

She closed her eyes listening to it.It'll go away. She entered her room. it'll go away.She sighed. I'm not in love with him. She slid the door shut. I don't love Po Ping. And Tigress knew she was lying.

Review! Please if you can!
