Panda season

Alrighty, so I am AlienHeart1915 and this is my first fic in history (YAY). I am a great fan of kung fu panda fanfictions, mostly of the TiPo pairing and after a lot of consideration I've decided to write my own, I hope you enjoy it.

And if you anything I can get better in don't be afraid to tell me in the reviews, and thanks for giving this story a chance.

Another thing I know spanish and english, so if my stories go well I might create an english version and a spanish version before writing new stories, so you might have to wait before hearing something new from me.

I've chatted enough, on with the story.

Disclaimer: I only own my OCs all the other kung fu panda characters and places belong to dreamworks.

Chapter 1: The panda

The valley of peace

It was extremely early in the valley of peace and the gong wouldn't be ringing in about another hour and a half. Everything was really peaceful as it had been ever since the defeat of Lord Shen a year ago. Of course it hadn't been absolute peace, there were still some bandit raids, robberies and that kind of stuff here and there, but not any real problems to be concerned about.

Everybody in the valley was sound asleep even the greatest warriors in all of China the furious five and the dragon warrior were enjoying their dreams, but there was a certain warrior having one of the most special dreams in its life, that warrior was none other than Master Tigress, you could see it was a great dream because of the smile that was plastered on her face, she was having one of her fantasies, but today's was extra special.

Tigress's dreamscape

There were a lot of decorations, almost everything was white and people from all around China was at the jade palace courtyard to presence one of China's most historic events, the union of two of its greatest warriors: The dragon warrior, Po Ping and The master of tiger style, Master Tigress. It was almost time and everyone was getting anxious.

With Tigress (Tigress's P.O.V.)

Oh my God it is almost time, in just a few moments I'm gonna be married some times I thought this day would never come, it just feels so great, I'm gonna be Po's wife, after so much time of waiting we're going to be together forever, oh God someone's knocking the door.

-Tigress are you ready? It's almost time you know- it is Viper, geez ever since Po and I got engaged she really has been a pain, although I do appreciate everything she has done for me during the years and all the help she has given in my relationship sometimes I would really like for her to just leave me alone, I may not be the best in the romance things, but I'm not completely lost.

-Yes Viper I'm ready, and I know it is almost time why do you think I would forget something this important?- it seems that my reply didn't help since she came in to check on me all the same

-Because you are the bride, and brides sometimes get so freaking nervous when is almost time-Why would I be nervous? Po is the love of my life, I've been waiting for this day ever since we started dating- sometimes she could be so paranoid, this is going to be the best day of my entire life, so why would I be nervous?

-I don't know it's just a bride thing, maybe they start thinking stuff like: will we be able to hold the commitment?, will I get fat? Or in your case that you are different species will we be able to have children, and if not what will happen?-

-Well, I am not concerned about that- I said with a confident face

-Oh alright, good for you, anyway get ready the big moment is almost here-

When she finished her sentence she slithered out of my room a closed the door, in the moment she was out I felt my confident face fall, and be replaced a really nervous look. I hadn't thought about all that, mostly the cubs part, what would happen if we couldn't have any? Would Po leave because of that? Dam it Viper why did you have to tell me all those things. I quickly finished getting myself ready, just adding a little make up, not a lot obviously, it may be my wedding, but that doesn't mean I'm turning all super girly, I am Master Tigress after all. When I was ready a looked myself in the mirror and I had to say I looked darn good, but I still couldn't get Viper's words out of my head, seriously why did she have to bring it up right now?

-Alright Tigress get a hold of yourself everything will be okay- I told myself to ease my nerves. In that moment Shifu opened my door with a big smile on his face.

-It is time- he told me, and I nervously nodded, took a deep breath and went out of my room with my father by my side.

Nobody's P.O.V.

Everyone was gathered in the courtyard taking their seats to watch the ceremony, the furious five, except Viper and Monkey which were the couples best man & maid of honor, and Mr. Ping were seated in the front row and all of the valley was attending. Po was at the very front of the stage wearing a jade green robe, with red dragons embroidered to the sides, and the ying-yang symbol on the back, he wasn't as fat anymore since he had worked out a lot after defeating Lord Shen. In front of him was an old goat with a ceremonial robe with a wide smile on his face, as was everyone, but no one could have a bigger smile than the dragon warrior himself, it was his and Tigress's day after all.

After a few minutes of idle chit chat amongst the people the music began to play and everyone paid attention to the end of the aisle. After some seconds Tigress and Shifu stepped in and everyone gawked at the tiger master. She was wearing a beautiful red dress that reached her ankles and a long tail, with jade green flower patterns all over it and a jade green veil covering her nervous face.

She was still troubled by Viper's words, but she couldn't let it show, she was thankful for the veil which covered her face. She kept walking looking straight ahead at her beloved panda who was looking at her with a loving smile that almost made all her nerves disappear. When she arrived a the front Shifu gave her hand to the dragon warrior and left to take his seat, after everyone was ready the music stopped and the priest began to speak.

-Dearly beloved we are here together today, to join this panda and this tiger in holy matrimony, they have served our country a lot of times, and have defended us against those who wanted to harm us. They have decided to live as one soul for all eternity, and will continue their duty as our protectors, if someone has something to against this marriage speak now or forever hold your peace-

Everyone was looking around just to make sure that nobody said a thing, after a few seconds of waiting without a soul making a sound the priest continued.

-Now the couple shall exchange their vows a give each other the rings, dragon warrior would you do the honors?- the priest said looking at Po with a smile while Monkey gave him the ring. Po took the ring looked at his beloved feline and started his speech.

-Tigress, when I first met you I never thought that you and I would get together let alone get married because of how you treated me when I came here- Tigress flinched a little bit at the memories of what she told him when he arrived at the palace, and how grateful she was that he hadn't listened to her when she told him to leave-but as time progressed I was able to see that beautiful side of you, the one you kept hidden from the world because you where afraid of it considering you weak, since you started showing it a little bit after I defeated Tai Lung, I have to say I worked really hard to establish a friendship with you, and it did caused me some pain, but it was all worth it for being able to be standing here today. I don't know I could get someone as good as you as my mate, and I can't promise you that everything will be completely smooth, but I do promise you that whatever the difficulty is we will get over it together, I also promise you to do everything in my power to keep you happy because your happiness is the most important thing to me, and I will be by your side for as much time as I can- after the speech he grabbed her hand and slid the ring on her finger while he looked at her with one of his biggest smiles ever.

Everyone in the public was crying for such a beautiful speech, even Master Shifu was spilling some tears. Tigress was trying really hard not to cry at her panda's words, and after that speech all her nervousness went away. She took a DEEP breath took the ring from her snake friend and did her part.

-Po, when I first met you I wanted nothing to do with you, I thought that you were a mistake some that should never had arrived to my life, I even openly told you to go away and that you were a disgrace- a tear rolled down her cheek as she said this while everyone looked at her wide eyed-but later I realized that you were meant to be in this place and more importantly to be with me, I recognized that I had wronged you in worst way possible and started to see you as the sweet, caring, and amazing guy you really were and I am eternally grateful that you didn't leave. You worked so hard to get close to me even when I pushed you away, so after really knowing you I realized that I didn't want to be away, but to be as close to me as you could every time you were away from me I felt as if a part of my soul was missing, when I thought that I had lost you at Gongmen I was destroyed, and when I saw you in that rooftop I almost cried for joy. I don't know why you would choose someone like me as your mate, but I thank whatever had brought you to me, I am not perfect, I actually have a lot of flaws, but I will give you everything I have to pay you back at least a little bit of all the happiness you have brought me, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I'll show you how much I love each day of my life till the day I die- when she finished she slipped the ring on his finger, and held his hands.

At this point the whole courtyard was sobbing really hard, Viper was blowing her nose with a tissue, and Master Shifu was crying on Mr. Ping's shoulder. After the priest calmed himself a little he ended the ceremony.

-By the power that the valley of peace I now pronounce you husband and wife, dragon warrior you may kiss the bride-

Po slowly let go of her paws and removed the veil to let her beautiful smiling face show, and started to move his head towards hers while she did the same, this was going to be it, their first kissed as husband and wife the extra official start of their new life together, they inched closer and closer, and when their lips were about to touch...

GONG!

End of dreamscape

Tigress's eyes snapped open and she fell out of her bed with a surprised yelp.

-WHOA!- she fell right on her face and stood up with very annoyed groan "Dam it, Dam gong! It just had to ring in that precise moment right? Sure I have a super awesome, great, and beautiful dream, and the gong had to cut it in the best part" she angrily thought as she rushed out of the door, and by the time she did she found all the members of the five, Master Shifu, and Po staring at her strangely.-What?- she asked in an annoyed tone.

-Uuh...well is just that you arrived at last and that is usually what I do, are you okay?- Po asked her in a slight worried tone, he always worried about her, he did kind of had had a crush on her since he was ten, and had had greater feeling since they got closer after the Lord Shen fiasco, even though he knew he would never have a shot with her he still cared.

"Oh Po you always caring for me, why are you so good? I wish I could tell you my feelings" Tigress thought as she looked over at him, but still kept her hardcore mask on because everyone was near-I am perfectly fine Po, just had a rough night- she lied while she thought "Yeah such a rough peaceful night".

She saw how his relaxed, but still kept his eyes on hers, while she stared at his soft jade green eyes, she could watch those eyes for all eternity just to be at peace, and he would love to be able to see those fiery amber eyes for the rest of his life looking at him. They would have been all day looking at each others eyes if Shifu had not cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention.

-Very well, students today we will have a pretty regular day, go have breakfast, and then retire to the training hall to do you basic sets, after that you may have lunch, then I want you to meditate until dinner, then is off to bed- Shifu explained and everyone, except Tigress, sighed in frustration.

-Master, don't you think it is a little overwhelming, I mean there hasn't been any real problems in a whole year maybe we could have a little bit of us time for a change- Po said, even if he had been taking his training more seriously ever since Lord Shen's fall, and had been getting in better shape, he still liked to slack of a little bit.

Shifu seemed to ponder on what the dragon warrior said for a while until he finally let out a quiet sigh and said.

-Alright, if you all do everything what I told you to do today you may have tomorrow off- everyone smiled when he said this, even Tigress showed a little smile appear on her face, maybe she could play some checkers with Po just to spend some time with him.-Now if you all excuse me I'm going to meditate- and with that Shifu exited the hall.

After he was gone the masters relaxed their bodies, stretched some, and then started their way to the kitchen. While they were walking Tigress decided to stay a little distance behind while the boys made their way out sleeping quarters, but this did not go unnoticed by Viper, and something else she noted was the reason as to why the tiger master had stayed behind.

"Wha... Am i going crazy, or is she checking Po out?" It was true, Tigress decided to go behind the group, so she could "examine" the panda from a distance. It wasn't such a shocker to Viper, since she had always been the observant one she had had a feeling that Tigress felt something towards the dragon warrior for quite some time know, she had been keeping an eye on her ever since the hugs in Gongmen. "I may have to talk to her about this" Viper thought while she slithered out of the sleeping quarters beside her feline sister.

When they arrived to the kitchen Po immediately went to the counter to prepare breakfast, and the rest of the furious five took their respecting places at the table, with a certain feline stealing glances at the panda cook.

"Sometimes I still can't believe that I fell in love with him, I mean, he is...errrr...was a big, fat panda, always enjoys slacking off, making pranks all day" she thought as she sighed inwardly " Oh but who am I kidding a better question would be how can you not love him, he's sweet, caring, thoughtful, dedicated when he wants too, strong willed, sees for the well being of everyone else above his, a golden heart in a few words" she took another glance at the panda who was whistling a very happy tone, and she smirked some at the warrior of black and white "And his not bad looking actually even before, that sweet and gentle smile, and those big, green, caring eyes made me swirl even before I knew what swirling was. And then when he started taking his training more seriously after Shen his arms gained some muscle, his belly went slimmer, but he still kept that cuddly body that a panda must have, I still remember when he hugged me at the harbor, it felt so dam good: his soft fur against mine, the big warm arms around me, it was magical, but at the time I was still trying to figure out what was this thing he made me feel. Surprise, surprise for me... It was love". She thought happily.

The tiger master was so deep into her thoughts that she didn't notice the green apple snake looking at her with really big, but hidden smirk on her face while she watched the feline taking glances at Po, and smiling a little here and there.

-Order up- Po announced while he put a plate of steaming noodles in front of each master before he took his seat beside Tigress and started eating. He didn't notice said person looking at him from time to time with a small smile watching him eat.

"And the there are his antics, okay sure his table manners could improve some, but it is kind of cute the way he eats, and he just has such a funny personality, he can cheer anyone up in a heartbeat without even trying. He is practically the perfect mate, I just wish I could tell him so badly, but I'm not ready and besides what could happen?" Tigress thought as she continued to eat her noodles, and looking a the panda she loved, again without noticing a certain snake looking at her.

"Yep I definitely have to talk to Tigress about this, maybe during the meditation time" Viper thought as they continued to eat. Unbeknownst to Tigress she would have to get ready faster, since she wasn't the only one interested in the dragon warrior.

At the time the gong sounded, in a camp some miles away from the valley

The encampment was sleeping soundly as the first sun's rays started to come out, inside the biggest tent in the camp a snow leopardess was having sweet dreams, or at least one would think that since she had a huge grin on her face, and was purring loudly while she hugged a scroll as if it were its child. The snow leopardess was the leader of an organization of dancers, former thieves known as the ladies of the shade, and had straightened their ways ever since they paid a visit to the valley of peace a year and a half ago and had a change in leadership. The snow leopardess's eyes slowly opened , she sat up her bed, and stretched with a yawn. Then her eyes drifted to the scroll in her hands, she opened it to reveal what would be a heart with a cross in the middle, when she saw it she couldn't help but letting a sad sigh escape her lips.

"Oh Po, almost two years, it has almost been two years since I saw you last, I miss you so much. Sure, things have been great here, but you are not here and that makes me feel empty inside, I still remember those green eyes of yours, or that lovable smile, or that carefree attitude, and it breaks my heart that you have found someone else to be with, but I also hold on to the hope that you are still available" she sadly thought, but held on to that hope. She rose from her bed and exited her tent to wake up her camp. She sounded the gong and the girls started to come out to begin with their day, as she walked absentmindedly through the camp just thinking of a big, fluffy panda with green eyes.

She arrived at the center of the encampment where a huge table was awaiting with a lot of steaming noodle bowls for everyone. The leader of the ladies of the shade walked silently and took a seat next to her best friend Ming-Ling, her second in command, and started to play around with her soup something that didn't go unnoticed by her friend.

-Thinking about him again?- Ming-Ling asked asked her leader who slowly nodded in response.

-I haven't been able to take him out of my head for a year and a half Ming, and it is torture- the snow leopardess replied

-And why don't you go and see him Song?- Ming-Ling asked as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

-Why? What do you mean by why? I am the leader of the ladies of the shade I can't just walk away whenever I want, you guys are my responsibility- Song replied with the same hint of sadness she woke up with.

-But Song if you don't see him he may go and get someone else, if you want your male you gotta be near to get him- Ming-Ling told her in a matter-of-factly tone

At hearing this Song almost broke into tears, imagining Po in the arms of some other woman always made her very upset, it made her want to find whoever that girl was and rip her throat out, but she had to keep her composure in front of everyone.

-Don't you think I haven't thought about that-Song angrily replied-But as I said I have responsibilities with you guys- She added, her sad tone returning.

-Look, you have taught me everything of how to run this place, and we are not too far from the valley, why don't you take a little vacation and go see him? I can take care of this place for a while- Ming-Ling said with a great smile towards Song, who just started to smile wildly, it was such a funny sight, Ming-Ling had always wanted Song to be happy, and she would be lying if she said she wasn't getting annoyed with all her sad talk.

-You are serious? You would do that for me?- Song asked with big hopeful eyes, this would be great for her, she would see her beloved panda again, and would clear her doubts of his availability, and if he was free she could get him for her.

-Of course I would and I will, now finish your breakfast and go get ready to catch yourself that panda- Ming-Ling stated in a serious but amused tone.

Song quickly ate her noodle soup, stood up and hurried back to her tent to pack her stuff, she didn't know how much time she would stay at the valley, but she would stay as much time as she needed to get her panda. She packed several of her outfits,some food for the trip, Po's butt scroll, some money, and of course her trustful umbrella. When she was done she closed her pack and headed to the exit of the camp where all of her girls were waiting for her.

-Well girls, I expect to find everything in one piece when I come back, Ming-Ling will be in charge, so you better listen to what she says- Song stated in a serious tone looking at all of them in the eye, but that look soon disappeared and was replaced by a smiling face- Now work hard, and have fun, but please don' t destroy the camp, the tents are new- After she said that she turned her whole attention to Ming-Ling- I want to know everything that happens in my absence, I don't know how long I will be gone, but please do control them at least some- She said almost pleading, which caused Ming-Ling to smirk.

-Oh don't worry so much, miss responsibility, we will be fine now go on, and get to your panda, you don't want some girl to take him away do you?- Ming-Ling said amused, but the comment only caused that Song growled a little at the thought, and with that she started her trip towards the valley of peace, and the panda she loved.

"Get ready Po because here I come, and to those girls who set her eyes on you they better watch out before I slit their throats, no girl is getting her paws on you except for me my sweet panda, that I can tell. You will be with me, and we'll be happy don't worry" Song thought in a decided manner, that panda was hers. But she didn't know that things wouldn't be that easy.

Well that is the end of the first chapter in my first fanfic "Panda season" I wanna thank again to all those who gave my story a chance. My OC won't be appearing until kind of later, but the "hunt" will start without it.

Please review.
