Admission Of Feelings


Po was deep in thought. Due to this, he had forgotten to close the door after entering. Viper saw the open door and went to investigate the speech she heard coming from the room.

“Man, I wish could tell Tigress who I feel about her,” Po stated.

“What was that?” Viper asked.

Po turned and saw the snake as she slithered in.

“Nothing,” Po replied.

“Come on, you can tell me. I won’t tell anyone,” Viper answered.

“All right. I have a crush on Tigress,” the panda said.

Viper looked at him.

“Is that all? Why don’t you just go and tell her?” Viper continued.

“Because I don’t want to ruin our friendship if she says no,” Po informed her.

“Look, do you really think that she’s going to wait around forever? The other day, a guy in the village hit on her. She rejected him, but you can see my point,” Viper said.

Po sighed.

“I should be the one to be with her,” Po stated.

“Then go and tell her,” Viper instructed.

“I can’t. I just can’t,” Po said.

“Come on. Who’s been her best guy friend forever?” Viper asked.

“I have,” Po said.

“Who’s not going to wait forever?” Viper continued.

“She’s not,” Po replied.

Po then decided that the time was right.

“I’ll do it!” he exclaimed.

And with that, Po headed to Tigress’ room. He knocked on her door. Tigress, clad in a silk nightgown, opened the door.

“Po, what is it?” she began.

“Can I come in?” Po replied.

Tigress quickly pulled Po inside and shut the door.

“What is it?” she asked.

Po stepped forward to tell her, but accidentally tripped and fell, hitting his head and knocking himself out. Tigress rushed to his side. When he finally awoke, he found himself with his head in Tigress’ lap. He smiled.

“Well, isn’t this pleasant?” he said with a chuckle.

“Po, this isn’t funny. What were you trying to tell me?” she asked.

Po decided to just tell her.

“I have a crush on you,” he said.

Tigress was shocked.

“Really?” she replied.

“Really,” Po answered.

Tigress gave a flirty smile.

“You know, I’ve had a crush on you too,” she told him.

Po was overjoyed to hear this.

“Well, perhaps we should plan a first date,” he said.

They did exactly that. Soon, that very next weekend, they were on their first date. Po took Tigress to his dad’s restaurant. Upon seeing them, Mr. Ping was excited.

“Po, Tigress, what brings you here tonight?” the goose asked.

Po proudly took Tigress’ hand.

“We’re on a date,” Po replied.

At that, Mr. Ping brought them to a table and served them. After eating their fill, Po and Tigress decided to take a walk. Their walk eventually brought them to the forest surrounding the village. After some more walking, they came to a bamboo grove. In the middle of the grove was a pavilion that seemed to be fifty or more years old. It was covered in vines and flowers.

“What a beautiful evening,” Tigress commented.

However, it wasn’t the scenery that had Po’s attention. Rather, it was Tigress.

“Yeah, but you’re better,” Po replied.

Just then, Po held out his hand.

“Tigress, may I have this dance?” he asked.

Tigress chuckled.

“Po, there’s no music,” she informed him.

That didn’t matter to Po. He simply began humming a simple Chinese folk tune. Tigress allowed him to take her hand, and they slow-danced together in the moonlight. It was a perfect end to a perfect evening.
