A Happy Ending

Zeng slugged into the kitchen. He was tired. It had been a year since Po and Tigress's wedding. It was another year for the Master's Exchange program. Masters Crane, Monkey, Viper, Mantis, and Lu were all in a different place. However, unlike last time it wouldn't be for a month, just four weeks in separate months. Ling and Krista were away on their honeymoon. They had gotten married five months after Po and Tigress's wedding. Master Shifu had requested that no masters come to the Jade Palace this time, so it was only Tigress, Po, and Master Shifu. Master Shifu, however, was out of town on official business. So it was only Zeng, Tigress, and Po in the Jade Palace.

That, however, was not why Zeng was so tired he had red eyes. No, the reason for him not getting enough sleep would be coming in the kitchen about...now! Tigress entered the kitchen with the happiest face that Zeng ever saw. She was quietly humming. She was in blissful ignorance of Zeng. Zeng just watched her walk around. Then, Tigress looked at Zeng. "Oh, hello Zeng," Tigress said casually.

"Three, two, one."

"Zeng," Tigress exclaimed whipping around to see him.

"Hello," Zeng greeted.

"I thought you were with Master Shifu on his mission," Tigress replied.

"No, I decided to stay here," Zeng sighed groaning.

"You look like you didn't sleep," Tigress commented.

"Oh no I didn't. Because for some reason I kept hearing noise from the barracks," Zeng said accusingly. Tigress blushed, embarrassed immensely.

"You heard us," She asked.

"Honey, the whole village hear it. Po didn't make a sound until one or two times. You, on the other hand, were screaming your lungs out. I guess you guys figured out what happens when he grabs your tail and you touch his left inner thigh, huh?"

"Hhhow did you know about that," Tigress asked shocked.

"Dear, I've been a lot of places with Master Shifu. You learn a lot," Zeng said simply. Then Po came in yawning and stretching his sore back.

"Hey Zeng," Po said casually. Then he stopped dead in his tracks. "I thought you were suppose to be with Master Shifu."

"I decided to stay. However, it turned out to be a bad choice. I'm going back to bed," Zeng said exiting the kitchen. "On the bright side, Mr Ping will hopefully have grandkids soon," He muttered. Tigress and Po looked at each embarrassed.

"I told you it was a bad place to do it," Tigress murmured.

"Hey, by the way you were making noise, I don't think Gongmen City would be far enough," Po argued, but he wrapped his arms around her waist. "But you loved it anyways." Tigress purred at the touch.

"I did," She purred. Po smiled as her tail wrapped around his leg.

"I love you, Lily," Po said kissing her cheek. Tigress giggled. Po would sometimes call her by her middle name, but only when others weren't around.

"I love you, too, Po," Tigress replied.

"You know, I can't believe that we're together. I thought you would never look at me more than a friend, or an acquaintance," Po commented. Tigress looked around nervously.

"Well, I...had a little crush on you when you first came, even though I was mean to you," She said blushing a bit. "You have to keep up appearances, you know?" Po rubbed her belly, making her purr and blush more. "Po stop that, that tickles."

"You're cute when you blush," Po replied, smiling. Tigress turned around to face him. "I had a major crush on you since you were first picked as the Furious Five." Tigress shocked.

"Really?"

"There's a reason why you were my favorite," Po smiled. Tigress smirked.

"You mean I'm not still your favorite," She asked.

"No, you're my wife now," Po grinned.

"So what are we going to do today, husband," Tigress said sweetly yet teasingly.

"Well, first we're going to go outside of the Jade Palace so Zeng can sleep," Po grinned. Tigress blushed. "Then we're going down to the valley to help out with the morning rush." Tigress grimaced.

"Aw, I wanted to enjoy my time off with you," Tigress pouted. Po shook his head with a smile on his face.

"Come on, you know you love working there. I have to pry you sometimes from the kitchen," Po commented. Tigress didn't look at him. She didn't trust her face to be firm. Po hugged her tighter around the waist. Tigress's smile slowly crept up, until Po lightly brushed Tigress's tail. Then she burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay," She laughed as Po stopped. "I'll go, but," She said as he brought him closer to her, "you have to make it up to me."

"Don't I always," Po said confidently.

"Nope," Tigress replied. Po frowned as she smiled widely.

"That's not what you were saying last night," Po said to himself.

"What was that?"

"Nothing," Po recovered. "Let's get to work." He kissed her again as Tigress caressed his face.

"Po, what do you think our baby would be like," Tigress asked. Po hadn't thought about that yet. Po smiled.

"She'll just be like you, Astounding, Astonishing, and, of course, Awesome," Po replied. Tigress smiled.

"I love you," Tigress said.

"I love you, too," Po replied as they kissed again.

Many years later stood a young girl about fourteen years of age, a miracle to Tigress and Po. She had a pretty little pink flower in the crook of her ear as she practiced her stances. Her white and black striped fur along with her green eyes made her a very beautiful person. With her blue vest and white pants, she was also very capable. She slowly went from one stance to another to another. As she was about to finally finish, she was caught by a hand on her shoulder. She whirled around and had her hands on the person. "Easy, Lily," said a young fox. "It's just me." Lily slowly released her grip from the fox that was older than her by three years.

"Sorry, Zin. You startled me," Lily confessed. She didn't like saying she was surprised.

"Yeah, something I will not repeat," Zin said rubbing his throat. "Where is Qiang?"

"I haven't seen him. He's probably with his parents," Lily shrugged. Then they heard a great commotion. "Or getting in trouble," Lily sighed. The two ran to the scene of the crime. Qiang was in the Training Hall trying to punch the dummy. Unfortunately, the dummy knocked him back, threw him into the rolling stage, tossed him into the balancing turtle, and shot him into the pits of fire. He came out completely covered in black. He nervously smiled at Lily. His smile was the only thing visible other than his eyes. Lily looked at the small little bird. "Qiang, what did we say?"

"Don't go into the Training Hall unless you're there," The small crane said sadly.

"And," Lily asked.

"Don't turn on the Training Hall," He said sadly. "But I survived without you guys' help," He came back. Lily's stern look didn't falter.

"You could have been hurt," Lily said. Qiang huffed.

"Mom isn't that worried about me," He replied.

"That's because she trusts us to protect you," Zin answered. That wasn't entirely true. The reason why Lu didn't worry about Qiang getting hurt was because she knew he was capable. Crane himself wanted to make sure that he wasn't overprotective about Qiang. Lily, however, was overprotective about everyone, even the adults. Which reminded her.

"Zin, can you make sure that Qiang stays safe? I have to go to Grandpa Shifu," Lily explained. Zin nodded. Lily went off to the Hall of Heroes. She bowed to the mediating master. Her father, Po was there too. "Master Shifu, you called," Lily said respectfully. Shifu chuckled.

"I've told you young one to call me, Grandpa Shifu," he said. Lily still stood at attention. Po sighed. She was just like her mother. "I just wanted to see my favorite granddaughter. Today is a special day," Shifu said. Lily was confused as she walked with Shifu to where Po was standing.

"What is today," Lily asked.

"Today is your parents' anniversary," Po explained. Lily's face lit up with excitement. Po smiled.

"What are we going to do for mom," She asked.

"Wait and see," Po said excitedly.

Tigress was in the Training Hall practicing. She had been complaining that she had gotten a fat from the years of working the shop. This, of course, wasn't true in the least but she did it none the less. Just then, Lily came in. "Mom! Mom! Grandpa Shifu needs you, quick," She said.

"What's wrong," Tigress asked as she went.

"Just come," She urged as they both ran to Mr. Ping's shop. As Tigress ran in, she got a surprise.

"Surprise," everyone shouted. It was a celebration for her marriage to Po. Po smiled as he presented her a basket of flowers. Tigress was speechless.

"You remembered," She whispered.

"Of course, the day we got married is the best day of my life," Po said. Tigress smirked at him. "No seriously. Becoming the Dragon Warrior comes second." Tigress kissed him.

"You want to know something," She whispered. "I may have...forgotten our anniversary." She hoped he wasn't upset. Po laughed.

"It's alright. Just being married to you is a great enough gift for me," Po said as they hugged each other. Lily squeezed in between them. She came to their chests. "Well that and Lily." Lily squeezed her present through, giving it to both of them and squeezed out. Tigress chuckled. Han, Monkey, Jin, Lin, Gen, and all of their friends came out here. Zin was looking around the party when he bumped into a friend of his. A good friend.

"Oh, Ming! It's um...good to see you," Zin said nervously. Ming was still shy.

"Well, good to see you, too," the bunny replied. "Do you...um want to get some food?"

"Ssure," He replied. Po and Tigress looked around the family they had. Ling was talking with Crane and Lu while petting Krista's pregnant belly. Ming and Zin were now laughing with each other. Monkey and Jin were with Lin and Gen discussing old pranks they use to do. Master Shifu was arguing with Mr. Ping about their game of Mahjong; Mr. Ping actually won. Mantis, Viper, and Viper's parents examined the dress Lu and Viper made for Tigress. Po smiled at Tigress, still in their embrace. Tigress's face grimaced when she touched his scar. Po still smiled. The scar was across his eyelid and went down to his cheek and up to just past his eyebrow. He had gotten the scar from Tigress while she was being a bit...(coughs) rough.

"I'm sorry for giving you that," She apologized.

"Don't worry, you've hit me in much worse places. Plus, it makes me look cooler," Po said heroically. Tigress rolled her eyes.

"Sure," She said kissing him on the cheek. "I'm just sorry I was so rough on you." Po smirked. "What are you thinking?" Po lightly yanked her tail making her yelp in surprise. "Po, don't you dare," She warned.

"That's not the only time you're rough," Po smirked confidently. Tigress smirked back.

"You really are a one of a kind panda," Tigress said kissing him on the lips. "That's why I love you." She hugged him tightly.

"I love you, too," Po replied. Lily squeezed in again.

"I love you, two," Lily smiled.

"Group hug," Viper shouted as everyone tightly hugged together.

Funny what a month will do to you.
