Tigress was amazed. She watched the panda drift around the kitchen, chopping vegetables, boiling noodles, and making soup with such grace that if you were to remove the kitchen supplies he would seem like a dancer. She saw him pour the soup and noodles into six bowls, and as he turned around he said,"Order Up!"
As he passed out the bowls of noodles, every member of the five thanked him, and then when he set down Tigresses bowl he said,"oh wait I forgot something." And proceeded to go back and grab a plate, he handed it to her and it was her favorite, Tofu. She smiled as her heart felt full. And as she thanked Po they all began eating.
It was silent for a bit but then Viper spoke up,"mmm Po your soup is always so good, like no other person can compare." Po chuckled as the rest agreed with her. "Aw come on your just flattering me." He said, Tigress then spoke up," No I totally agree Po these noodles are amazing!" She said, Mantis then spoke up,"Yeah if she eats anything thats not tofu, then that food must be really good." Po blushed at all the complements he was getting, then he said," If anyone would want to learn how to cook the noodles just ask the master." He said jokingly while pointing to himself, the rest of them chuckled when Tigress said,"can you teach me?"
The table went silent," What?" Tigress asked while looking around, Monkey spoke up,"well of all people to actually take up Po on that offer, we never thought it would be you." Tigress raised a brow, "why is that?" She asked,"well we always thought you would never do anything besides kung fu." Monkey said,"but it seems someone managed to get your mind off of kung fu." Said Viper knowingly while smirking. Tigress blushed hard while glancing at Po. Po spoke up,"regardless, she wants to learn how to cook, so I will teach her how to cook." He Said as he smiled towards her. She smiled back,"thanks Po."

It was their day off from training, everyone was doing something,"Me and crane are going shopping in the valley." Said Viper,"im going to see my girlfriend." Said Mantis, "and im going to watch a kung fu tournament." Said monkey. "What are you guys going to do?" Crane asked Po and Tigress. "Well I was thinking we could finally work on cooking." Po said clapping his hands together. "I think tigress wants to do something a little for handsy," Mumbled Viper, Tigress glared towards her while she said,"I think im ready to start cooking."
Everyone went their separate ways as Po and Tigress went to the kitchen,"ok Ti tell me, what can you cook?" Tigress looked down a little embarrassed,"I cant cook." She looked at Po, nervous of what he would think."thats fine." He said happily,"we all start somewhere, so lets start with a basic veggie stew." "Start by chopping some vegetables." He said while placing a cutting board and vegetables in front of her, aswell as handing her a knife.
Tigress took the knife and slowly started chopping. Her slices were slow and uneven, she groaned a bit annoyed, which caught the attention of Po who was starting to boil water. "Whats wrong?" He asked,"I cant seem to chop correctly." She sighed,"if i cant even chop vegetables how am I supposed to cook." "Hey!" Said Po,"Where is that determination I know you have? Come on Tigress you just started, you're not going to be perfect immediately." He said, as he walked behind her, once he was fully behind her, he pressed up against her back as he grabbed her hands with his."sometimes you need help, and there is nothing wrong with that." He said kindly, Tigress' face was on fire, she felt her heart pounding.
hoping Po didn't notice she nodded her head. He the proceeded to lift her hand and brought it down on to the vegetable, slicing it quickly and perfectly, he lifted her hand and repeated the process over and over again. He then pulled over another vegetable and lifted her hand once more and brought it down, he let go without Tigress realizing as she chopped the rest of the vegetable perfectly. She looked back and saw Po was no longer there, she turned and saw him back at the pot of boiling water, smiling at her.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at the chopped vegetation. Po said,"welp now all you have to do is add it to the pot." He said pointing towards the pot. Tigress nodded and picked up the cutting board, pouring the vegetables in. She stepped back as Po stirred the soup, he then turned to her and handed her the ladle, motioning her to the pot where she began stirring.
A few minutes later Po came over and took out a spoon, scooped up a little soup and tasted it. "Mmm This is really good Ti, I say you just made your first meal." Tigress smiled at him her fur covering her pink cheeks. He the scooped up some more, blew on it and aimed it at her, telling her to open wide. She opened her mouth, and just when he was about to give it to her he turned the spoon around and ate it himself, smiling smugly. She glared at him but then smirked as an idea formed in her mind. As Po had another spoonful of soup Tigress walked up to him, turned him to her, stared at him with a smirk, before leaning in and kissing him. Po froze as she pulled back, smiling but still a bit nervous to his reaction.
When he said nothing she sighed and said, "I just wanted to taste the soup." With a little humor, still a bit sad. Then Po said "well chefs usually test their food more than once." As he leaned in and kissed her, this time she was surprised but quickly returned the kiss. He wrapped his hands around her waist, as she wrapped hers around his neck. After some time they finally pulled apart, lightly gasping for air. "Wow" Po said. "Thanks for teaching me to cook Po." "No Problem at all Ti." He responded as he leaned in for another kiss. After that they spent the rest of the day together.
