A/N: Ok, I'll get right to the point. The chapters looked like they were getting progressively shorter so I just decided combine chapters 7 and 8.

Tigress jerked upward from her sleep, only to have a pain run through her head. She put her paw on her head. After the pain passed, she looked around the room. She didn't recognize anything. She got up out of the bed and wondered around trying to determine where she was.

She walked down the hall until she heard people talking. She came up closer to the source of the noise and hid behind the wall right next to the door. "No, I want the flowers over here." said a stubborn voice -sounds like Gao…- she thought.

She kept listening, "But sir, there's no there if you want a statue there too." Said a voice that Tigress didn't recognize at all. "I don't care! I want this exactly the way I planned it! Make room, this wedding will not be ruined!" -wait,wedding? What is he talking about?- she continued to listen. "Yes sir..." She heard that same voice she couldn't recognize before say.

"I also want a new lattice, the one we have now is ugly." She heard Gao say. "But sir, we already spent too much on the lattice we just got yesterday! You said you liked it too!" "Yes, but that was before I changed my mind." "Now, I'm going to go check on Tigress and see if she's awake yet. While I'm gone I want you to fix everything I just told you about."

As soon as Tigress heard that she ran back to the room she was in and pretended to be asleep. A few minutes later she heard Gao walk in. "Tigress, it's time to get up." After she didn't get up Gao started to shake her violently until she got up. "Tigress, get up!"

*Back in Reality 8:30am*

Master Shifu was beside Tigress' bed, shaking her lightly trying to get her to wake up. "Tigress, Tigress you need to get up." He said quietly.

She finally woke up. She shot up from her bed, "What happened? Where's Gao? Where's Po?" "Tigress calm down, everything is fine. Gao is in jail, Po is in his room sleeping." Shifu said "What happened?"Tigress asked

"All I know is that you Gao, and Po were all passed out in that cell. You and Po had large wounds in your abdomen. Perhaps you could fill me in on the rest." Shifu said

"Okay, so me and Gao were in the bamboo forest looking for Po. Gao tricked me into thinking Po wasn't here when he really was. He threatened me that if I didn't go along with his plan that he would kill Po. But by the time I got to where Po was, he was lying on the ground with a puddle of blood surrounding him..." Tigress paused for a second, trying to get the image out of her mind.

She continued, "I tried to stop the bleeding, but Gao took my mind off of it. When I saw him, I was furious, I started hitting him, kicking, punching. I couldn't stop... I couldn't stop." Tigress was on the edge of tears after that.

"It's okay Tigress, you did what you had to." Shifu said "No it's not okay!" She screamed, her voice cracking a little bit. "All my life I've been called the monster, this just proves it!" She yelled, now crying.

"Tigress I'm going to tell you something I told you 20 years ago. You are not a monster you are just a little girl." Shifu said. Tigress stood up from the bed, "You were lying, weren't you?!" She screamed at him and ran out of the room, tears streaming down her face.

In Po's room

He jerked up from his bed, he thought he heard someone screaming. He jumped when Master Shifu opened his door. "Oh good, you're awake." Shifu said.

"Yeah, I just woke up, to the sound of somebody screaming I think." Po said "Oh, that was Tigress, she freaked out, would you go talk to her, calm her down a bit?" Shifu asked. "Sure, why did she freak out?" "She thinks she is a monster because she almost killed Gao. When I told her otherwise she started yelling at me." Shifu said disappointingly.

Po nodded and walked out of his room to go find Tigress. He checked the kitchen, the training hall, the hall of warriors, and then he remembered, Tigress usually goes to the peach tree when she's upset.

When Po got to the peach tree, he heard someone sniffling. He saw Tigress sitting next to the tree looking down at the valley. "Hey." He said. She jumped and turned around. Po could see the tears welling up in her eyes. "Go away Po." She said turning back around.

Po sighed and instead of leaving, he walked over and sat down next to Tigress and put and arm around her. She refused to make eye contact. "Tigress, you're not a monster, you're just protective over the things and people you love." Po said.

Tigress looked over at Po, wondering how he knew what was wrong. "How..." Po interrupted, "Shifu told me."

Tigress hugged Po and he hugged back. They hugged for at least a minute until Tigress pulled back, "Are you okay?" She asked him. "What do you mean am I okay?" Po asked "The stab wound." She said "Oh yeah that, I'm fine. A doctor came in yesterday and put stitches in, did the same with you. You were still unconscious though." "And by the way, I hate Gao just as much as you do now." Po said "I don't think that's possible." Tigress said with a small smile. "Uh, I think it is, he kissed my girlfriend." He said. "Ugh... Don't remind me." Tigress said with a disgusted look on her face. "I know what will make you feel better." Po said with a smile on his face. "What?" Tigress said with a confused look.

Po pushed her up against the peach tree they were sitting next to and placed his lips on hers. She closed her eyes deepening inLto the kiss. Tigress put her arms around Po's neck. Po put his arms around her waist. They shared the kiss for probably about 2 minutes until the broke apart, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, Tigress." Po said "For what?" She asked, confused. "For not believing you the first time when you told me he kissed you, I should have trusted you more." He said "Po, it's okay. Forget about it." She said

"Well I'm going to start believing you more. Anything you say I'll believe." Po said with a smile. "Okay that's good." She said, "Oh my gosh Po look! A flying bean bun!" She said pointing in the distance. "WHERE!" Po said as his face lit up. He turned around trying to find it. Then he realized, "Hey..." Po said as he realized she tricked him. "Oh silly me. My eyes must be playing tricks on me." She said. "Yeah, sure they are." Po said. She chuckled.

They shared another kiss and went down to the kitchen where the others were waiting for breakfast. Tigress sat down and Shifu walked up to her. "Tigress I am sorry for how I treated you when Gao was here, I should have known something was up when he sent that note, I remember you telling me a long time ago he never had an interest in kung fu."

Tigress remembered now, she told Shifu about that the first few weeks she had known him. "It's fine. Don't worry about it." Tigress said Po and the furious five now returned to their normal lives. Protecting the valley. Training on a daily basis. And occasionally Po getting yelled at by master Shifu. But other than that everything was peaceful.

A/N: Okay that's it's. Please tell me what you thought of it. And I was thinking, should I make another sequel? So I decided to ask you, my viewers. So please review this story and tell me if I should make another sequel to this. If so I'll make an epilogue after this chapter.
