Kung Fu Panda: Po Pilgrim vs. The World by

Mitchicus

Chapter 1: Something I've Wanted For a While

A/N: Mitchicus, my OC is in this story, but I assure you that he is not the hero like he was in the series. Plus, his history and other traits are different, so just follow this story.

Mitchicus glared at her.

"Join me Tigress, and we can rule China together!" Mitchicus said in an evil tone.

"Look at what you have become! You are so far from the one I fell in love with! What has happened to you?" Tigress asked.

The White Tiger snarled. "I saw the light, Tigress…or you could say the darkness, which gives me strength." The tiger tightened his fist as he said this.

"We cannot be together, Mitch. It just won't work out." Tigress said solemnly.

Mitch let out a loud laugh. "Is that just because you want to stay the way that your failure of a father taught you?"

Tigress roared and slashed at him with her claws. Mitch dodged her attack…almost. Tigress managed to drive one claw into his eyebrow, which drove over his eyelid and stopped at his cheek. A long gash was now on his face, and he shoved her away, grasping the wound with his paw. She wished that she did not have to hurt him…or scar him…but she felt that she had no choice when he denounced her adopted father. She eyed her boyfriend…and childhood friend.

Mitchicus moved his bloody hand from the gash and roared in anger.

"You defend HIM? He hasn't even treated you like a daughter, only another student! You stupid bitch! I should kill you right now, but I'd prefer to give you a slow death…and you'll still be a virgin!"

"W-what do you mean?" Tigress asked worriedly.

"I will bring all your exes together, and we will ensure that you will never have another boyfriend! That is, a live one." Mitch chuckled evilly.

"You basterd!" Tigress roared.

"Am I?" Mitch asked.

Tigress tightened her fists and growled through her fangs.

Mitch laughed again. "Goodbye, Tigress. I can only wish that you remain single, otherwise…" Mitch said as he backed up from her, "you will suffer heartbreak over your lover's death. We'll be watching you, more than you know."

The White Tiger vanished into the shadows, and Tigress sobbed loudly.

This happened five months after Po defeated Tai Lung. The relationship the two tigers had was secret. Master Shifu believed Mitchicus to be training in the northern mountains, but Mitch snuck into the Jade Palace to see Tigress occasionally. When the two broke up, and Tigress traveled to Gongmen City with Po and the others, she realized that she had feelings for him, but she did not want to show them. She wanted to be with him, but she feared that he would be killed by her exes. When Po "died", she was heartbroken. She felt as if a piece of herself had died with him. When she saw him alive, she never wanted to lose him again, but still did not want to risk his life for them to be together more than friends.

A day has passed since the heroes of the Jade Palace returned to the Valley of Peace from Gongmen City. All of the villagers greeted them on their return and their defeat of Shen, and all was peaceful.

Po paced the kitchen, biting his claw with his teeth.

"I don't know dad! She's the kind of girl who will rip off your arms and legs and shove them down your throat if she's angry at you! I don't know if I should take the risk!" Po said worriedly.

Mr. Ping shook his head. "Po, if she showed such feelings for you at Gongmen City, you should probably take the chance. Though she may reject you, she'll understand why you asked her, and…well…not kill you in a brutal manner."

Po nodded nervously. "I know, I know! But what if she tells the others that I asked and she rejected me, then what do I do? My friends will laugh at my clumsy ways and make fun of me!"

Mr. Ping shook his head. "They wouldn't do that to their friend."

"Mantis certainly would!" Po said.

Mr. Ping nodded. "Maybe him, but not anyone else. Besides, your friends don't listen to him. You should tell Master Tigress your feelings."

Po sighed. "I'll try, just don't freak out if I don't come back in one piece."

Mr. Ping laughed. "You're exaggerating!" The goose frowned. "Wait, are you?"

Po shook his head and walked out of the noodle shop, and ascended the Thousand Steps of the Jade Palace. After taking several breaks on the way, Po finally reached the palace. He went to the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom and found the girl of his dreams meditating there. She pretended to not notice him, and listened to his every movement.

"Hey uh Tigress?" Po asked nervously.

"Yes Po?" Tigress asked, not turning her head to him.

"Do you think we can talk about something important, where no one can hear us?" Po asked.

"Sure thing Po." Tigress said as she got up and walked with him to Wu Dan Mountain.

They went on the top of the mountain and sat on some grass there. Po scratched his chin nervously, and Tigress noticed this.

"Po, is something wrong?" She asked him.

"No, I'm just a little nervous." Po said.

Tigress gave a light smile. "You shouldn't be nervous when you're around me."

"Well, I can't contain myself from being in awe of your awesomeness." Po said.

Tigress gave a light laugh, and Po's eyes widened.

"Wow, I've never done heard you laugh before." Po said, shocked.

Tigress nodded. "I haven't laughed for months…until now." She eyed him, and he was twiddling his thumbs nervously. "Po, something's on your mind."

Po looked at her. "What? No! Nothing's on my mind." Po lied.

"Po, I know you're lying. Please tell me the truth." Tigress said, giving him her amber eyes.

Po shivered under her sight and gave up. "Alright, it's hard for me to say to say what I'm about to say."

"What is it, Po?" Tigress asked.

Po looked at her, his paws shaking. "Tigress, I don't know how to begin. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were the coolest Kung Fu fighter to ever grace the planet. When I was chosen as Dragon Warrior, you rejected me. Even though it hurt to admire someone your entire life and then they diss you like that, I persevered so that I could maybe win your approval, and I guess I did after I defeated Tai Lung. When you hugged me at Gongmen, I thought you had feelings for me more than being friends. Tigress, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Tigress was speechless. She loved him also, but she had feared it would come to this. She now feared for his life more than ever.

"Po, as much I would love to be with you, I don't think it would work out." Tigress said, bowing her head. Po was sad at this, but he was glad that he wasn't dead already, for she had remained calm. "For you to be my boyfriend, you would have to face many…challenges." She said, eying him again.

Po took her hand and squeezed it. "I'll do anything if it means that I can be with you."

Tigress gave a light smile. "Thank you Po, but I don't want to lose you. Please, can we just stay friends, that way we can still be together?"

Po smiled. "No, if it's ok with you, I'd like to be with you, no matter the challenges. After all, I have been able to stop the worst villains in China, and it's getting pretty easy now."

Tigress' smile widened, and she leaned forward and kissed him. Po was shocked but then returned it, the two staying that way for minutes, but to them it lasted for hours. It was Po's first kiss, and the first time he'd ever been this close to the opposite sex before. Their lips left each other with a smack and they looked at each other, dumbstruck by the moment.

A hawk, who was watching the entire conversation from afar, grinned.

"Looks like Tigress has a lover." The hawk said before taking flight, and heading towards his evil allies.
