Great reviews you guys, thanks! Very insightful feedback! I'm glad to hear i was missed. Well, here's something for you guys to read. Hope you like it.

Po relaxed against the wall, breathing the fresh night air. What started out as a pretty bad night ended up surfacing some new developments.

The weight of Tigress' head on his shoulder was comforting and appreciated. It was light and soft, and the fluffy fur on her cheeks spread down under her head.

Po glanced down at Master Tigress. Her eyes were open, and staring right back up into his. Tigress had always been Po's favorite, ever since he was a young child. He knew all of the facts and statistics about her. He could recite her punch power, her favorite fight routines, the basis of her kung fu style, her kick reach, how high she could jump, and every other scrap of Tigress trivia that could be found in the Kung Fu Scrolls at the Valley of peace.

By more than one author, she had been described as fearless, hard core, tough, and impenetrable, on a physical and emotional level. She was someone you could never crack, let alone get under her skin.

Yet here she was, looking up into his eyes, with a slight smile that bore no resemblance to her hardened warrior face at all. Looking into those eyes without guarded suspicion or the ferocity of battle, Po realized that there was much more to tigress than what was in the scrolls.

He already knew about how she had trouble making friends at the orphanage she grew up in, and was adopted by master Shifu.

But he knew that there was more to her than that. Looking into those golden almond shaped eyes, there had to be.

"Tigress?" Said Po

"Yes Po?" She said quietly.

"There's something I want to ask you,"

"Ask it" Tigress said simply.

Po began, "Well,"

Suddenly, the doors burst open, and out came Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane.

"Po! Tigress!" Called Monkey as he exited the building.

"Oh…" Said Mantis as he turned and saw Tigress and Po.

Tigress' eyes flashed wide in a nervous expression. Po raised his eyebrows.

The four stared in confusion. Crane's jaw dropped all the way open with a creak.

Viper craned her neck forward and blinked. Her eyes moved from Tigress to Po, then back to Tigress.

"Umm," Said Viper slowly. "What are you guys doing?"

Po opened his mouth to answer, but Tigress quickly replied, "I was teaching Po the headlock escape form,"

Po looked confused for a second. Tigress cast him a meaningful pleading look, and Po said, "Oh yeah, yeah. That's what we were doing. The headlock escape form, developed by master Hong Jao in the...,"

Rest of the furious five stared. Mantis twitched his antennae, and made a cricket noise.

"…Fourth dynasty," finished Po.

After a brief silence, Po realized he was expected to put Tigress in a headlock. So he wrapped his arm around her neck.

As soon as he did, Tigress flipped him over her, slipped out of the headlock by twisting his arm, and after she held him to the wall with his arms behind his back, she swung him around and kicked him into the air with a loud "Hiaa!"

Po landed hard on the ground and groaned in pain.

"Well, that was… impressive," commented Master Crane. "I think we can all agree that it was good technique…"

Nobody responded, so Crane ruffled his feathers. Tigress got up from her fighter's stance, and after looking at everyone, walked purposefully away.

"Wait!" said Viper. "We came to tell you something!"

"What!" snapped Tigress, annoyed.

"We just found out that we're needed in the village of Lamb Chen, not far from here,"

"What?" asked Po. "Autographs? Parades?"

"No," Said Shifu. Everyone turned around in surprised, as Shifu had appeared seemingly out of nowhere. "No parades this time…" He said with and edge in his voice. "Now there's trouble."

I thought i would add a twist to the plot, as far as "trouble" and also keep things dynamic to seeing what happens when the rest of the five walk in on them. These are just ideas. I may develop on them further, as a little teasing thing to have fun with. What do you guys think, as far as these ideas and any others you guys have?
