Happy Late-Valentine's Day everyone! I was just watching this video called DANCE EMSMERALDA on YouTube. And the one segment starring Salma Hayek caught my eye. I personally like hers' the best so I suggested looking up that video if you want to see what I mean. The video's by DufaelLenhador. Anyway, the love triangle PoxSongxTigress has been on my mind lately. So, this story came to mind. So, enjoy!

Sān yuè èrshí…

The citizens of the Valley of Peace could not be happier. Within the next three days, their favorite festival, Àiqíng jié. The festival of love. Even the Jade Palace were excited for the holiday. In fact, they were even pitching in with the set-up of the festival. Tigress, Monkey, and Mantis were overseeing building operations, Crane and Viper were helping with decorations, Shifu was talking to the Valley's leaders about the events that were to take place, and Po (after some begging on his father's part) was assisting his father in advertising for his noodle shop.

"Po, my boy, remember what I told you?" Mr. Ping asked his son.

"Never eat imported furniture?" Po responded.

"No! Service with a smile! We need to give these free coupons for noodles away." Mr. Ping said.

"Wait, free noodles?' Po asked, slightly surprised at what his dad was offering.

"No, free coupons." Mr. Ping stated in an obvious tone.

Po mustered up the best smile he could. "This is gonna be a long day."

Luckily for Po, a certain tree snake spotted him. She nudged her friend and nodded toward the panda. Crane and Viper nodded in agreement, and then hurried to catch up with them.

"Hey Po! Where are you going?" Crane called out to them. Po and Mr. Ping turned.

"Po, don't you remember? You were supposed to help Crane and I with the decorations." Viper told him. Po was confused for a moment, but he caught on.

"Oh yeah! Sorry, guys totally forgot! You understand, right dad?" Po asked.

"Of course, my boy. I'm capable of passing out free coupons for noodles." Mr. Ping smiled.

"Wait, free noodles?" Viper asked.

"No, free coupons." Mr. Ping said pushing his noodle cart away.

"Man, I owe you guys big!" Po sighed happily.

"And you can start paying us back now." Crane said handing Po some flowers. "Go hang these up by the stage."

"Kay, why do we even have the stage anyway?" Po asked as the three of them started to make their way toward the stage.

"For the circus, of course." A voice from behind said. All three masters turned and bowed in respect.

"There's a circus coming, Master Shifu?" Viper asked.

"Yes, it is custom to have performers come during the festival. They should be here any-"Shifu was cut off by the sound of loud music and children's laughter. The four masters turned to see a male fox, wearing brightly colored clothes, a silly hat, and a necklace made of bells back-flip into the center of the Valley.

"Ladies and Gentlemen… Boys and Girls… I, Master of the Circ, King Mǎxì tuán, proudly present to you-"Before the citizens very eyes, the fox disappeared in a puff of purplish-pink smoke and reappeared not too far from the four masters. "Circ de Amor."

That's when the music seemed to grow louder and louder, along with joyful shouts and laughter. Pretty soon, they saw a large group of people entering the Valley. There were musicians, jugglers, fire-breathers, acrobats, and a single dancer. This dancer, a young clouded leopardess with violet-blue eyes, a red vest, light-brown sweatpants, sandals, and she held in her hand a red umbrella. Upon first glance, many upon many of the Valley's male citizens were in awe of her beauty.

This included the Dragon Warrior, but Po was in awe for two reasons. Reason Number One: She was probably the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. Reason Number Two: Po remembered their last meeting all too well.

"Is that…?" Po asked Viper and Crane. Who were equally surprised to see the leopard again.

"I think so." Crane said.

"Is everything alright? Who are you referring to?" Shifu asked. After getting no response from his students, he followed their gaze and spotted the leopard, whom was happily dancing up toward the stage. "Do you three know that leopard?"

Before either of his students could respond, the leopard danced by. Po, though he didn't notice, blushed. "Song…" He quickly set down the flowers and made his way to the stage.

This didn't go unnoticed by Shifu, Viper, and Crane. Shifu turned to his two students. "Who is this, Song?"

"A few months ago, she was a part of a gang of thieves. Her job was to try and get Po to fall for her so the gang could have leverage against us. Not sure of it worked but anyway, Po and Crane and I went to her village to try and get the stolen goods back. When we were surrounded, Song stepped in and helped us escape." Viper explained, leaving the part about the Dragon Chalice out.

Shifu glanced to see the Panda shoving his way through the crowd to get closer to the stage. He noticed that the female, Song apparently, had already mounted the stage and was dancing in time to the music. "It must have worked…"Shifu thought as he observed the Panda's behavior. Without anymore hesitation, the trio of masters made their way toward their friend.

A few moments ago, with Tigress, Monkey, and Mantis…

The three masters had just finished building the stage. And were dismounting it. Mantis, once again perched on Monkey's shoulders, spoke up. "So, what do you guys wannna do now?"

"We should probably go help Crane and Viper with the decorations." Monkey suggested.

"If they were even there." Tigress remarked. They looked to find their two friends weren't there. Pretty soon, they heard music and laughter and took note of the large group of people entering the Valley.

Mantis chuckled. "Circus's arrived."

Monkey's eyes widened. "Wait… Is that-?"

Tigress and Mantis exchanged confused glances. Then they followed their primate friend's gaze and spotted her. "Song?!" The three masters exclaimed in unison. She mounted the stage, a flirtatious smile on her pretty face, and continued her dance. They noticed Viper Crane, and surprisingly Shifu join the panda.

"What is she doing here?" Tigress wondered aloud.

"Since when is she with the circus?" Mantis asked.

Monkey, about to voice in his own thoughts was cut short when he saw Po push himself through the crowd to be front-and-center. Monkey studied his friends face. For a moment, it was blank and unreadable, as it should be. But when Song gripped a pillar on the stage with one hand, extending her arm as she circled the pillar, thus making her hover slightly over the audience. And in turn, closer to Po, said panda's unreadable expression turned into a goofy grin and dazed looking eyes.

Monkey then remembered Po only had this expression once, about a month ago when he met Lu-Shi. "Guys," Tigress and Mantis turned to Monkey. "Check-out who has front row seats." He pointed.

The two of them followed his direction and gasped when they saw Po standing front row. They took note of his goofy-looking expression and the fact at how he never took his eyes off Song. Tigress, it seemed, was the one most surprised.

With Po…

For Po, everything but Song seemed to disappear. He visibly smiled when it seemed that Song slowed down, her violet-blue eyes sparkling.

"Song. She's so… she's just so… woah." Po thought to himself.

The music took a different turn. Song giggled slightly as she closed her umbrella and leapt back to the center of the stage. She did a sort of back-flip and drove the tip of her umbrella into the stage. With a smile on her face, she gripped the other end of the umbrella with her hand and seemed to spin in a circle around the umbrella. For part of the time, she seemed to defy gravity, but pretty soon, she spun down to the floor.

The music came to an end when Song stopped spinning, and just for an added effect, she blew a kiss to the audience. If the majority of male population of the Valley wasn't already entranced by her, they were now.

Mǎxì tuán appeared once again by Song's side. "Citizen's, you like what you see?" He gestured to Song, who at Mǎxì tuán's statement, blushed. The citizens, mostly males, cheered loudly. "Then you can see this adorable lotus flower again, in the Àiqíng jié's opening ceremony, performing La Dance De Amour!" Mǎxì tuán announced helping Song to her feet.

Before he could say anymore, a loud scream rang through the crowd. Po, who finally snapped out of his dazed expression, whipped around to see Mrs. Yoon struggling to hold onto her purse as Fung attempted to steal it!

"Fung!" Po shouted.

"Can't we just have a regular day where no one ever attacks the Valley or steals anything?" Crane asked sarcastically. Just as Po, Shifu, Viper, and Crane were about to spring into action, a figure leapt over them and landed in-between Fung and Mrs. Yoon.

"What the- who the heck are you?" Fung ask, bewildered.

"My name's Song. Now that formalities are out of the way; give this kind woman her purse back!" Song demanded. Fung laughed scornfully.

"You? A dancer? You gotta be kidding me! What could you do to me?" Fung asked, lowering his guard. This conversation did not go missed by the four masters. Viper shook her head in a saddened way.

"He just sets himself for these kinds of things, doesn't he?" Viper asked her comrades and master.

"Am I missing something here?" Shifu asked.

"Oh you'll find out…" Crane remarked.

Shifu, confused as ever turned his attention back to Song and Fung. Just in time to see Song smirk and say "Let's find out, shall we?" Before Fung could reply, Song delivered a hard and swift kick to his chest. Knocking him off his feet and the wind out of him. Still not finished with him yet, she scooped him up with the tip of her umbrella, and then quickly opened it. This sent Fung flying high into the air. Song smiled and then leapt into the air. She then delivered a hard punch to Fung's gut. This sent the bandit plummeting back toward the Earth.

And to add insult to injury (A/N: No pun intended here.) Fung crashed landed into a barrel. This caused everything but his feet and head to be trapped inside this barrel.

"DARN IT!" Fung shouted. Song smiled and picked up Mrs. Yoon's purse. "Here's your purse, ma'am."

Mrs. Yoon smiled gratefully. "Why thank you, child. You are quite skilled in Kung Fu." Mrs. Yoon complemented as she took back her purse.

The crowd cheered. Even the circus performers cheered. From a distance away, Tigress, Monkey, and Mantis were appalled to see Song perform such Kung Fu moves. Even Shifu was impressed.

From his position on stage, Mǎxì tuán smiled. "That's Song for you! Full of surprises! Am I right folks?". As for Po, if he wasn't completely and utterly entranced by Song before, he certainly was now. For he once again resumed his goofy-grin and dazed look.

Tigress, Monkey, and Mantis approached the others. "Did you guys see that?!" Mantis asked once they were all together.

"She appears to be as skilled in Kung Fu as she is dancing." Shifu remarked thoughtfully.

"Man, who'd thunk it? Right Po?" Crane asked. He was slightly surprised when he didn't get a reply. "Po? Po?" All the masters turned and saw the look on the panda's face.

Monkey snapped his fingers in front of Po's face. This seemed to bring Po back to Earth. "You ok, buddy?"

Po blinked and then smiled in Song's direction. "I'll be right back." Po said brushing him off.

Before his friends could interject anything, Po approached Song.. "You're just full of surprises, aren't ya?"

Song gasped happily and turned to see the Panda, smiling and arms extended. Obviously expecting a hug. Song smiled grew bigger as she leapt into Po's arms.

"I knew I would see you again!" She said. And, to the great surprise of Shifu and the Five, Song gave Po a kiss on the cheek.

Crane, Monkey, Viper, Mantis, and even Shifu's eyes widened and surprised and their jaws dropped. Tigress, however, was having a different reaction. Oh sure, she had the same reaction as the others did, but only for a second.

Now, she had wide yet silent growling snarl on her face, her claws were fully extracted and she was in the process of clenching and un-clenching her fist, and her tail was swishing back and forth in an irritated matter.

Luckily for Tigress, no one noticed her change in behavior. But, that didn't stop Tigress from casting a nasty glare at Song.

This didn't go unnoticed by Song. And since Po had his back turned to his friends, didn't notice Song's reply to the glare. In response, Song smile turned into a victorious side-smirk as she tightened her grip on Po.

Oooohhhh, I smells jealousy a brewin' don't you! This story is gonna be good. Anyway, review!
