When we finally reached the top of the stairs, Shifu went inside right away. Po and I on the other hand stayed outside for a moment.

"Over there, up that hill is the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. Up that mountain is the Pool of Sacred Tears. I'll show you the Peach Tree tonight once we're done inside. The Pool can wait for another night because it's a long walk." I said. Po nodded in response.

We then pushed the doors open to reveal the Sacred Hall of Warriors. I looked at Po. A huge smile appeared on his face and his eyes widened. Before I could say anything, Po dashed over to one of the artifacts (A.N. This was one of my favorite parts of the first movie!)

"Master Thundering Rhino's armor, with authentic battle damage!" he said. I smiled and chuckled as he dashed to another artifact.

"The Sword of Heroes! Said to be so sharp you can cut yourself just by looking at- OW!" he shouted and put his finger in his mouth. I laughed a little harder.

"Wow! I've only seen paintings of that painting!" As Po continued to marvel at the artifacts, I continued to laugh harder and harder until I fell over. Niu would've just rolled her eyes but considering Po knew my secret, I could laugh as hard as I wanted. Finally I managed to pull myself together, ignoring the pain in my side, as Po dashed to his last artifact.

"No! The Legendary Urn of Whispering Warriors; said to contain the souls of the entire Tenshu Army!" He looked at it for a moment and then whispered into it. "Hello?"

"Have you finished sightseeing?" I asked smiling.

"Sorry, I should've come to see you first." Po said. At first I was confused, until I realized that Po thought the voice was coming from the urn. I smiled and silently chuckled.

"My patience is wearing thin." I said in a ghostly voice unable to wipe a smile off my face.

"Oh, well, I mean it's not like you were going anywhere." I cracked up. Po looked at me and frowned realizing that the voice wasn't coming from the urn.

"Not funny!" he said. I stopped laughing. Long story short, we both ended up falling over in laughter. After we finished, we walked to the Training Hall, ignoring the pounding in our heads.

We went in to find the others training and I remembered to be Niu. Monkey was busy on the Seven Talon Rings, Viper was on the Field of Fiery Death dodging every single blaze, Mantis was on the Gauntlet of Wooden Warriors and Crane was practicing his fighting moves on the Jade Tortoise of Wisdom. I looked at Po and could once again tell he was impressed.

I told him about the Training Hall and he listened the whole time. I showed him the rest of the Palace and told him all about it, although it didn't seem he needed it. He seemed to know a lot.

We finally finished in the Palace and by then it was almost two in the morning. We had an hour left till we had to go home, so we walked to the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. We sat down and I grabbed two peaches off of the tree and gave one to Po. I figured I had told him enough about the Palace for the night. As Po took a bite out of his peach, I decided to strike up a conversation.

"So how did you first get to wanting to be a Kung Fu master?" I asked.

Po swallowed his bite of peach. "It's kind of a long story."

"I like stories."

Po looked out at the stars and dark sky. "When I was about five, it was the first day of summer, and the Summer Festival had arrived. There were always a lot of fun activities like games, really good food, shadow puppet shows for little kids or shows in general, sometimes there was even a fireworks display. One time, my dad and I were both at the festival and we had just gotten moon cakes, when I saw a bunch of people crowding around a stage. I walked over to it, not realizing I had just left my dad. I saw someone doing a bunch of moves. He was a turtle with a beard and a staff. He looked rather old, but he was very light on his feet. I asked someone what he was doing and he said he was a Kung Fu master demonstrating his moves. I watched and thought it was incredible. When he was finally done, I tried to walk up to him, but my dad found me and claimed he had been looking everywhere for me and we left before I could even figure out his name. The rest of the night, even during the fireworks display, I couldn't get him out of my mind. I then decided about right when the show ended, that I wanted to be just like him."

My eyes grew wide. "Did you say the Kung Fu master was an old turtle with a beard and a staff?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?" Po asked looking back at me.

I looked at the ground. "That was Shifu's master, Master Oogway."

Now Po's eyes grew wide and he smiled. "Wow, cool! I actually get a possible chance to meet him!" He then noticed that I hadn't drawn my eyes away from the dirt. "What's wrong?"

"He… he died of old age."

Po's smile quickly turned into a frown. "Oh… I'm so sorry."

I looked back at him and shrugged. "It's alright. He lived a long and happy life." Po smiled again.

Something then came to my mind. "Hey Po, how did you recognize me earlier? As Tigress, not Niu."

Po was silent for a moment. He looked back at the sky. "The stars are really pretty tonight aren't they?" he asked. I could tell he was trying to change the subject. I just looked at him. He sighed and mumbled something very faint.

"What?"

"It was your," he mumbled the rest.

"What?"

"It was your smile!" Po then covered his mouth as if he had just cursed in front of a bunch of little children.

I cocked my head to one side. "Why my smile?"

Po was silent for a moment. Before the silence could get creepy, he spoke up. "I just for some reason remember it so well from the moment we met. I don't know why, but I couldn't seem to get you out of my head. I thought about you the whole day." He then looked at me. I then realized how beautiful his Jade green eyes were.

"To be honest, I couldn't either." I said still staring into his eyes. I didn't even notice myself leaning closer to him. I didn't notice that he was leaning closer to me either.

I didn't notice any of this until our lips met.

I felt like I was in a trance. I was KISSING Po. I was shocked for a moment until I eventually felt him take my paw. I put my free one on his cheek, deepening the kiss. I could feel my heart pounding, but in a good way. I couldn't resist moaning into his mouth a little bit. This kiss felt strange. Not a bad strange, a good strange. It felt… right. I finally pulled away and we both stared at each other wide eyed. Did that really just happen?

I then realized it was three o'clock in the morning and I had to get home. "I… We need to get back." I said awkwardly. Po nodded with his eyes still wide. We both walked towards the stairs not talking to each other. So many questions were going through my mind, but there was one that out did the others.

What did I just do?
