I felt the sun's warm rays on my fur as I started to stir. My eyes fluttered open, and I was greeted by the faint sound of the morning gong shortly after.

I slowly sat up and stretched, and realized I was in my room.

Which made me confused.

Weren't Po and I both on the night shift? I questioned mentally.

I looked out my window, and there by the Peach Tree, was a black and white physique resting at the bottom of the tree.

Wait, if he was still over there, how did I get back here? I was with him last night.

~Flashback to last night~

Po and I sat in front of the Peach Tree, looking out into the valley for any signs of trouble.

This was our 30th night shift together. And honestly, I didn't mind that. We definitely have gotten a lot closer over the past few weeks, and things have been a lot more playful with just the two of us.

The others were on a different mission on the other side of China, so we were the only ones who protected the citizens in the meantime.

But, nothing really happened these past few nights, and I was starting to get bored. Po, on the other hand, was bored a long time ago.

"Uuugghh, I wish something awesome would happen already~!" He whined, leaning against the tree and looking up at the starry night sky.

I couldn't help but chuckle. I had to agree; even Fung and his bandits would provide some entertainment for us. But, we were in no place to argue.

Master Shifu ordered us to do this, so there was basically no way out.

"Hey, Ti. Can I ask you something?" Po asked.

I turned my head to him curiously. "Sure, Po. What is it?"

He looked up at the sky and sighed.

"This is just a thought but, what would you do if you were in another world, and you could do anything besides Kung Fu?"

"Personally, I would stay as the Dragon Warrior! But, being a cooking teacher doesn't sound bad, either." He grinned while patting his stomach.

I shook my head playfully at him. Po may love fighting bad guys, but his love for food was stronger than anything.

He then turned back to me. "What about you? What would you like to do?"

"I..." I paused, thinking about it.

I never really thought about anything else besides Kung Fu, but I do remember that I used to sing to myself when I was little.

Maybe I should try it again.

"It's... just a thought but, I would like to... be a singer," I replied shyly.

"Wait, YOU SING??!!"

Well, that certainly surprised Po. He beamed at me with the biggest smile I have ever seen him make.

I giggled softly at him. "I used to. I stopped because of training. I'll think about doing it again."

Po started to get more excited. "If you ever decide to start singing again, can I be your first audience?"

I started to blush. The thought of him listening to me sing... was so embarrassing!

But, I guess it would be okay.

Smiling softly at him, I replied, "Sure. You're more than welcome to be my first audience."

Po gasped and pumped his fist in the air. "Yes! I can't wait!"

I giggled again. Po was cute whenever he was excited.

Fatigue started to get to me as I yawned and stretched my arms.

"Getting tired already?" Po smirked.

I was about to say no when he came next to me and wrapped his arms around me, trapping me.

"W-wha?" I started to feel my face heat up as I tried to break free.

"P-Po! Let me go..."

He shook his head, being stubborn. "I'm taking you back to your room so you can sleep."

"But-"

"Tigress, it's okay. I'll keep watch for the both of us. I'm more concerned about you. Will you sleep for me...? Please?"

My face turned even more red. Why was he doing this? I wanted to stay on the shift, I had to! What if an surprise attack happened?!

But then again, I have been dozing off lately. And Po's grip was too strong for me. I sighed, defeated.

"Alright... I'll sleep in."

Po grinned happily. "Thanks, Ti."

He kept me in his arms as he walked back to the Palace. I began to slowly drift off, resting my head on his shoulder.

Before I fully went to sleep, I heard him whisper something.

"You're so cute, Tigress. I love you~."

*Hey warriors! Chapter 1 is finally here! And tomorrow... IS YOUR GIRL'S BIRTHDAY!! 'ahem' Anyway, enjoy!*
