A/N: This was originally a single one-shot but then I came up with some more so I thought, what the heck. Anyway, title's based off a line from the first videogame…

This is set during the first film. It's probably a bit wrong in places but oh well, it suits the story

I just own the plot, by the way

Biggest Fan

Po seriously couldn't believe his luck. He'd only wanted to see his heroes and now here he was, living with them! Chosen as the Dragon Warrior! How much more awesome could one day get?

Actually, he was experiencing that feeling you sometimes get which makes it seem like you're in a dream; like it's not happening in real life. And suddenly the panda couldn't be entirely sure if this really was real; or if he was gonna wake up in a few hours. Everything seemed kinda dazed and swim-y.

He knew it was really happening but at the same time, it felt like it wasn't. It was – what was that word again? – surreal. He could barely believe it had all happened in the same day.

Somehow Po knew he had to make this last. To find some way of telling in the morning whether or not everything was really happening; or at least to break the ice between himself and his heroes. But something that would still be totally awesome to dream about, if everything was happening in a dream today.

Then, of course, there was only one thing to do. Geez, he was sooo lucky he'd brought it with him. Po hurried to his room.

Shortly after Po's appauling attempt with the training dummy, the sounds of more training dummies being brutally slaughtered could be heard from within the training room.

Master Tigress was training hard, knocking the obstacle course to splinters. Soon there'd be nothing left to fight against but the other Kung Fu masters. And judging by the rage she was in, they didn't stand a chance. Crane whistled. "She's really mad."

"I'm not mad," Tigress grumbled. "I just want to make sure I beat that stupid – fat – useless – moron!"

She punctuated every word by kicking or punching more training dummies to smithereens.

"Looks like you'll kill him if you try," Viper commented as another training dummy was kicked into oblivion.

"Good!" Tigress grunted, punching the last training dummy so hard it actually exploded.

"You killed them all," Crane said in a mock-upset voice. "They're all up in that training room in the sky now."

"Grow up, Crane," Tigress said, rolling her eyes, as she set up another wave of training dummies to beat.

For a while the Five talked as Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey watched Tigress slaughter wave after wave of training dummies with merciless brutality. Then, about five dead dummies into wave number eighteen (they thought it was eighteen. They'd lost count, Tigress was beating the dummies so quickly) they heard the door to the training room open.

"Woo! There you guys are!" Po exclaimed. "Seriously, I've been looking all over for you. I – woah, awesome!" Po had spotted Tigress slaughtering the training dummies. "An actual Kung Fu Master training! I never thought I'd get to see it with my own eyes!"

"Big deal," Tigress drawled sarcastically as she punched a training dummy and knocked its head off.

"Cut the kid a break, Ti. We were all like that once," Monkey said.

Tigress increased the viciousness of her attacks on the dummies. "Don't – ever – call – me – that – AGAIN!"

She sent a dummy flying and it landed in tiny pieces at Monkey's feet. The other four warriors – and Po – looked from the dummy to Tigress with surprise and awe. Tigress smirked to herself, fairly certain that they'd got the message. Then she turned back to causing carnage.

"Hey, y'know, we might need those!" Crane said as Tigress destroyed another dummy. He shrank back a bit when she turned around but instead of turning on him, Tigress turned to the rolling snakes in the training area and started destroying the swinging clubs that came at her.

"You're going to destroy the training room if you're not careful," Viper teased.

"Good," Tigress muttered.

"Maybe you should take a break," Monkey suggested.

"Yeah," Mantis said. "Try some meditation, or some acupuncture."

"I don't have to," Tigress insisted. "I'll manage just fine."

"Tigress."

Shifu's voice ran out with authority through the training hall.

"Go meditate."

Tigress nodded, jumped onto the floor, bowed to Master Shifu and walked out. Stupid panda… he was ruining everything! She glared at him as she walked past… he backed off, petrified.

"She totally hates me, doesn't she?" Po asked as Tigress walked out. He knew it wasn't a dream now. In his dreams, Tigress was Po's best friend.

But it still felt all swim-y, like a dream.

The rest of the Five – who were rather annoyed at Po (how could someone like him possibly be the Dragon Warrior?) – suddenly felt sympathetic at his crestfallen face. They suddenly took pity on him.

"No way Po, of course she doesn't," Viper said. "Tigress is just a grumpy person."

"Yeah," Mantis agreed. "She really wanted to be the Dragon Warrior. Like, more than the rest of us."

"Actually I'm pretty sure Master Oogway was pointing at her before Po almost fell on her," Crane muttered.

"Woah…" Po gasped, suddenly back to his usual fanboy self. "Master Tigress – the Dragon Warrior? Oh, that would be totally awesome! But…" the sad face returned. "she's not… that's my fault, I guess…"

"Hmm…" Mantis tried not to say anything. His didn't trust what words might come out of his mouth.

"What's that in your hand?" Monkey asked Po, trying to change the subject.

"Huh?" Po looked around. "Oh! It's like, er… it's like, it's one of my favourite posters and I was wondering if you guys could, like, yannow, sign it…"

It was a good few minutes before the Masters stopped laughing. Much as Po's expression made them feel bad, and despite the fact that at one point they would've probably said something along the same lines, it was such a silly request that they really couldn't help it.

"Why would you want that?" Viper asked, after she'd caught her breath.

"Yeah, I mean, you live here now," Crane agreed. "You're gonna see us every day."

"I know, I know," Po said. "I'm just a really big fan and I can't believe this is actually happening, I never expected –"

"Say no more, man," Mantis said. "We've all been there."

The four agreed to sign the poster and, for the briefest moment, they were united by the strangest idea, the strangest feeling… that of being a fanboy.

After all, Viper exclaimed defensively, girls can fanboy too. Just the same as guys can fangirl.

Not that anyone else was too amused with the fangirl part of this defence.

But still, Po's fanboy presence was somewhat overbearing, and the four Masters breathed a welcome sigh of relief when he rushed off to find Tigress and ask her to sign the poster. They would quickly learn to put up with Po's fanboy ways, for the most part.

Po found Master Tigress meditating under a big, really old-looking peach tree. He did not realise it until later, but this tree was sacred. It had been planted by Master Oogway a thousand years ago at least, when he had first come to China.

"Master Tigress! Master Tigress!" he yelled.

Tigress, who did not like being distracted from her meditation at the best of times, growled. "What?" she demanded. Her voice was cold and hostile – a little more so than she'd intended, but close enough to still have the effect she was going for. Po stopped in his tracks, leaning against the peach tree and panting.

"I just… wanted… to ask if… you could… sign a… poster for me," Po said, slowly but surely catching his breath. "The others… did already but… I wanted you to… sign it 'specially."

Tigress smirked, feeling almost smug. "Surely the great Dragon Warrior isn't giving up already?" she drawled.

"Eh? No, I just… the others already all signed it, I just wanted, you know… for you to sign it, cuz you're so insanely awesome!" Po had pretty much caught his breath again by now.

Tigress frowned. "What?"

"Yannow, cuz you're so awesome! You're, like, my favourite! I mean, seriously, I'm your biggest fan!" Po blurted out, completely unable to restrain his inner fanboy. He saw Tigress raise an eyebrow at this.

There was a long, painfully silent pause while she thought. Not only had this idiot ruined her chances at becoming the Dragon Warrior, but he had as good as admitted that he was just a fan. It just made the whole situation worse, not to mention more awkward… geez, this guy was supposed to be the Dragon Warrior and he was asking for her autograph!

At last, she sighed heavily, took the poster from Po, signed it quickly then thrust it back at him and turned away again, trying once more to meditate.

Po ran back to the palace, the signed poster clutched tightly to his chest. Dream or not, this day had been completely awesome!
