Ok, 'member that I had posted something called "Two Family Renunions?? Well, I'm kinda re-posting that. But it's gonna be different, let me tell you.
Here is...FIRST PART. He's my friend.
Chapter One: Secret Revealed
It was six thirty, and Po was hungry.
He trudged lazily towards the kitchen, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
He heard the slight patter of feet and turned around to face Monkey.
"What are you doing?" he asked. Po responded with a loud yawn.
"Just...getting something...to eat." he drawled. Monkey sighed.
"Po, every ten minutes you eat something! I've even seen you sleep-
eating! Every ten minutes each night!"
Po yawned again.
"You need to go back to sleep," Monkey snickered.
"No...Must eat..." Po snored. Monkey half-lead, half-dragged him to
his room.
Then suddenly, as Monkey dropped Po on his mattress, a loud BANG!!!
exploded in the air.
Po sat bolt upright. Monkey whistled through his teeth.
"It's happening." he whispered.
"What on earth," Po said nervously "was that?"
"Tigress," responded Monkey "That's what."
Po and Monkey looked out the window. There she was. And now Po could
see what had happened. An ironwood tree had been literally chopped in
half, and it had fallen on top of a gong. Tigress was looking down the
hill, clenching and unclenching her hand. Po spotted a small scarlet
spot the front of her paw.
"Eww." Monkey whispered "She's bleeding."
"That was...AWESOME!!!" Po squealed.
"You're happy because she hurt herself?"
"What? No, no! Just what she did with that tree!"
Po stared back, eyes wide. Monkey rolled his eyes.
Tigress was punching another ironwood tree. Peices of bark flew
everywhere.
"Why does she do that?" Po asked, his wondering green eyes on Tigress.
TBC
That was so descriptive!!! I loved it!! Milky shafts of light, swinging red lanterns that gave off an orange-red glow, a pale yellow tower with creeping green ivy and blooming orange flowers? TOO COOL!!!
@balah
Heh, yeah, Tigress IS kind of hungrier than Po And of course I'll read it! Thanks for your comment, and keep reading!
Here is the next part!
Zain grinned, and Tigress looked away from his twinkling green eyes to
the ground. "The Tiger Village lies just beyond this forest," he
informed.
"Oh?" Tigress stammered. She couldn't look up, her fur hot with the
embarrassment of knowing that Zain was staring at her with thoughtful
eyes.
"You're from China, right?" He said softly, the snide tone gone.
"You..you survived, right?"
Tigress nodded, swallowing back her overriding emotions and looking
Zain straight in the eye. "Would you," she hesitated for a milosecond,
before continueing steadily, "Mind showing me this Village?"
"Sure," Zain responded light-heartedly.
Tigress stopped again and looked up at the half-disc of the pale moon,
shining faintly along with the glimmering stars as the dark blue
night crept up and began to take over the evening. She would be missed
if she didn't return soon. Po would be worried...
Forget Po. She would be fine. It was only for a few minutes, right?
"You coming?" Zain twisted his head around, his eyes pale circles of
green gleaming from the moon's rays, which turned his fur silver-
orange and outlined his features. Tigress nodded slightly and quickly
shifted her gaze from his green eyes to the floor.
Without another word, Zain dropped on all fours and began padding down
the undergrowth. Tigress followed the sound of crunching brambles and
kept her eyes trained on his waving tail, the only thing she could
spot as the forest swallowed him up.
After a while, Tigress noticed that she could see better. Lights
danced with the shadows, ilumanating the trees and giving a
supernatural glow to the leaves.
"We're getting close." Zain answered Tigress's unsaid question. "Just
a couple more minutes."
The moon was shining brightly in the indigo sky, defying anyone to
come and oppose it's brilliance. Shafts of it's milky light sliced
through the branches of the towering trees.
Zain's word proved true; it seemed not five minutes and Tigress's
amber eyes fell on quite a sight.
Between two sloping mini mountains, a town much larger than the
Panda's rested. Red lanterns swung brightly on ropes, giving a red-
orange glow to the village. Sturdy brick houses stood very seperate
from each other, and maybe that's why it looked more spacious than the
Panda Village. The streets were smooth and worn down through years of
plodding feet, and tigers were walking down the paths. Some with cubs,
others in groups, others alone.
There was a sturdy tower much like Leader Dhani's, except it was a
pale yellow, and orange flowers were blooming along the walls, growing
of creeping green ivy. And much to Tigress's delight, she could spot a
cluster of ironwoods far in the distance. She had to forcibly restrain
herself from running over to them.
Zain was waiting patiently for her to take it all in. "Well?" He
prompted.
"It's amazing." Tigress couldn't help slip out. This was the place she
had dreamed of for so long...
"Come on then, I'll show you around. I'll bet Leader Rasket would like
to see you." Zain said.
Tigress almost flinched at his warm tone. Should she trust him?
She had already decided that when she had followed him here, so the
striped feline nodded, though kept her distance.
Zain smiled but sighed inaudibly, trying not to look disappointed.
This was hard...
"Come on, then, Tigress." The tiger said.
Tigress knew she should correct him for calling her by her name
without her proper title, but she let it brush by. Who cared? She
followed Zain as he led her down the hill, with the moon shining
bright above.

@Everyone who recommended my stories on the post 'I'm new here ...' posted by Heartfeet
OMG thank you so much! That makes me sooo increadibly happy, you have no idea how much!! Thank you, again, SOOO MUCH!!
Po was right. The panda and the tigress had spent a very eventful day
together. Exploring the valley, eating, playing mah-jong, eating,
talking, eating, and then more eating. Lots of eating. And Po
discovered Tigress had a soft spot for cubs. Especially little pandas.
And Po got to see Tigress act completely opposite of herself. Wait
till the rest of the Masters found out....
The two were walking home, when Po suddenly asked the question that
had been nagging him all day out loud.
"What happened to you, Tigress?"
Tigress looked up, distracted from her thoughts. "What do you mean?"
"Why are you acting like this?"
Tigress was about to answer, when suddenly, she stumbled backwards
with a moan, shaking a head and putting an orange paw to her forehead.
"Tigress, are you alright?"
The feline tried to answer, but instead, with a shudder, she collapsed
on to the dirt floor.
"Tigress, Tigress wake up!" Po gasped, shaking the pantherine's
shoulder fervently. Images coursed through his mind of when she had
first crumpled to the floor like this, when she had had the vision
sending them here. The panda turned her over gently, but her eyes were
closed.
He was pondering on wether to carry her to the tower when her amber
eyes fluttered open. "Oh, thank goodness, Tigress, you're okay!"
"Po?" she croaked, shaking her striped head slowly and squeezing her
eyes shut. "Why are we outside...why are you here?"
She blinked in confusion, then pushed the bear's paw away before
standing up. She dusted her pants off, and with an inexplicable sad
feeling, Po realized her voice had gone back to it's serious tone.
"Now, explain, Dragon Warrior." She stated.
Po scratched his head and retold the events of the day, from finding
her in her room to seeing her collapse. Tigress just stared at him
with cold eyes the whole time, the spark of joy having vanished.
"Forgive me for acting like this," she said in a less-than-friendly
voice. "It will not happen again."
"But why?" Po asked. "Why were you being so..so..." he couldn't find
the right word, so he stopped.
Tigress glared at him before growling. "Chocolates. Never, ever, give
me chocolate." Then the feline stalked away, her tail lashing back and
forth angrily.
"But what if I want to?" Po murmured sadly, before sighing and
trudging towards his father's tower.
Wow. This story is superlative (Me + big words = FAIL). I literally spent all of my night on Sunday reading this. I love how you portray Tigress, also. You have her personality right on the spot. Keep up the grand work!
@syrup240
Haha, yeah, guess so. :D Keep reading and reviewing!
Chapter Twenty Three Part Two
Po watched in silent amazement as Tigress downed her fourth bowl of
noodles.
"Hungry, weren't you?" Leader Dhani scoffed with wide eyes. Tigress
looked at the empty pot that had once been brimming with soup.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Starving." She answered, giving a satisfied sigh. All
Po could do was gawk, wondering distantly if this was how the Five
felt when he had first entered (more like sabotaged) the kitchen.
"Well, feel free to do whatever you want." Po's father chuckled,
spreading his ebony arms wide and beaming. "My house is yours."
Po nodded gradually. "Thanks."
"So, what do you want to do first?" Tigress asked with
uncharacteristic brightness. Leader Dhani shook his head and laughed
quietly, walking over to his study and leaving the tiger and panda
alone.
"Uh-uhm..ha, well, ahem, err...you-you decide."
Tigress shrugged. "How 'bout we go outside, explore the village a bit
more?"
"Uh...okay?" Po asked, before being dragged put the door.
"Good! Where do you want to go first?" Tigress asked cheerily.
"The physiciatrist. Or the eye doctor. I think I'm hallucinating." Po
murmured. "No, wait, I have to be dreaming!"
"Huh?"
"Tigress, punch me!" Po said quickly, then almost smacked himself. If
this wasn't a dream he'd have a broken arm or something. "No, wai-"
Too late.
Po felt a cracking pain shoot up his arm, and he was dully aware of
flying a couple meters away before landing face-first into the dirt.
"OWW-HOWHOWOWWwwww!!" he gasped.
He could hear the pad of footasteps and feel Tigress's paw on his
back. "Po, are you okay?"
Po felt himself being pulled up, and then he almost stumbled on top of
Tigress. Their noses were a hair breath's apart, and Po felt red creep
up his cheeks involuntarily as he backed up, shaking his head to clear
the fuzziness out of his mind.
Tigress, though, didn't seem to notice. "Po, tell me. Are you okay or
not?"
"Yeah-fine," he murmured shyly. His arm didn't feel broken, though it
was numb. Then was taken back by Tigress's response.
"Well, in that case...DID YOU SEE THAT?! I WAS AWESOME!! I
was all like- WAAPOOWW!!" At the least word, the feline gave a punch
to the air and looked back at Po with a smirk. Po facepawed.
"Why are you acting like me?" he blurted out.
Tigress cocked her head. "I'm not acting like you," she said. "I'm
acting normal."
"Yeah, 'bout as normal as a dancing Shifu." he muttured, but Tigress's
keen ears picked up his words.
"I would pay a pretty penny to see that mouse dance." she grinned.
"What?!" Po almost screamed.
"Wouldn't you?"
"Ah, Tigress, we're not supposed to be talking about our Master like
this..."
"Pff, he's not here, is he? And you didn't answer my question. Would
you like to see him dance or not?"
Po thought it over, a sudden smile creeping over his face. He looked
at Tigress with a gleam in his eye. "Oh, yeah, I would!"
Tigress smiled, her eyes narrowed mischeviously.
"You and I are gonna have a lot of fun today," Po smirked.
@Tyrande21
Actually, that's only the first part. There's a bit more to it, but I couldn't post it yesterday...sorry. Thanks for your comment, though, and keep reading!
@syrup240
XD Yeah, call the ambulance!! Tigress blacked out...who knew Valentine's Day was so DANGEROUS!?
Here is the next part of that chapter...
Po looked up from taking a sip from his soup with a start, his dark
green eyes wandering over to where he had heard the crash.
"Are you alright, Po?" Leader Dhani's hoarse voice asked from the
kitchen.
"Fine, Dad." Po reassured, setting down his bowl of noodles and
getting awkwardly out of his chair. "I'm just gonna go see if Tigress
is okay."
"You did that two minutes ago!" His father's laugh echoed through the
hall as he came out with his own bowl of soup. "By the way, your
noodles are amazing! Who taught you how to make them?"
"My dad, uh, I mean, Mr. Ping." Po told him, lumbering over to the
stairs and looking up. "I'll be right back, Dad."
"Okay, son!" the panda chuckled, rolling his twinkling eyes and then
taking a long sip of the soup.
Po clambered clumsily up the stairs and then walked nervously over to
Tigress's door. He knocked cautiously.
"Um-Tigress?"
"Come in!" the voice was shrill and excited, and it sounded as if
Tigress's voice had gone chipmunk.
Po raised an eyebrow with surprise, shrugged, and opened the door.
"Hey, I heard a crash, are you o-o-o...." he never finished the
sentence, because his jaw dropped so low it could of touched the ground.
"I'm fine!" Tigress exclaimed happily, swinging from the top of the
bunk bed on one leg, the other dangling carelessly on her side. Her
arms were crossed and her mouth was a grin that went from ear to ear.
She quickly flipped down, but her smile looked as if it had been
copied and pasted and wouldn't come off. "You needed something?"
"A-ar-are you s-su-sure your-r o-okay?" Po stammered, his eyes round.
"I'm fine, Po!" she said his name with such light-heartedness it was
hard to believe that they weren't best buds since first grade or
something.
"You don't seem okay." Po replied bluntly.
"For the last time, I'm fine." the striped feline assured, her amber
eyes full of something Po couldn't place.
"Well-uh-I..."
"Is something cooking?" The words snapped Po out of his thoughts.
"Huh?"
"I'm hungry. I said 'is something cooking', deaf guy." Her words held
no hostility, just playfulness.
"Uh, yeah." Po managed to slip out. "But didn't you just eat?"
"So what?" Tigress snapped. "I'm still hungry."
"Well, there's, um, noodles in the kitchen...."
"Great! I haven't eaten since forever!"
"You mean five minutes ago," Po said, slightly seeing why Shifu got
annoyed with him.
"No difference," the feline shrugged before jumping past him and
running down the steps eagerly.
"What's happened to Tigress?" Po muttered stupidly to himself, shaking
his head in shock.
