The full moon was up high in the sky, illuminating the palace and Viper was not surprised to find Tigress in the training hall so late. A few hours prior they had received news that Po wouldn't be returning any time soon when he learned four of the panda children had inherited the Four Constellations' powers.
Even though Tigress was impressed that Po was taking his teacher role more seriously, she wanted to talk to him about who this girl was. She couldn't help but feel mad at herself for not noticing sooner. Why didn't she tell him sooner? She broke another one of the wooden warriors, not really seeing Viper come in.
"Tigress!" The sweet voice of the panda woke the tiger from her sudden rage. Viper smiled, proud of herself from bringing the now adolescent panda. Tigress smiled seeing Lei Lei as she ran over to
"Hey Lei Lei." Tigress smiled sweetly at the adolescent.
Lei Lei smiled, hugging Tigress as tight as she could. Her giggles put Tigress's mind at ease. She never thought a child would ever be able to do that to her. Viper slithered over to the two of them, her smile still plastered on her face. Tigress glanced at Viper and mouthed a 'thank you' earning a nod from the snake.

"I honestly don't know what came over me." Tigress admitted. She and Viper were sitting on the ground of the training hall. Lei Lei sat beside her, playing with the Tigress action figure she had stolen from Po a couple of years back. "I should be happy for him."
"You don't even know who she is, Tigress." Viper smiled. "You could be that mysterious girl." Tigress smiled slightly at the thought. True, she did not know who Po spoke up but the odds of it being her, were slim. Right? She and Po were completely different, yet she couldn't imagine herself with anyone that wasn't him. Lei Lei looked up at Tigress with a smile. The last couple of years had been nothing but a bliss with her. Seeing Tigress almost like a mom but it would be weird to call her mom right?
"We could go ask him." Lei Lei suggested. Lei Lei very well knew how Po felt towards Tigress and vice versa. Honestly it was kind of painful seeing them stumble over each other like this. Tigress looked down at Lei Lei. "I'm sure he wants to talk to you too." Lei Lei smiled to herself. Tigress raised a brow at Lei Lei.
"Or you just want to go to panda village and see that boy you like." Tigress smiled. Lei Lei blushed at the suggestion.
"What? No." Lei Lei pouted. Tigress chuckled, hugging the adolescent. Lei Lei giggled getting closer to her. If there was anyone Lei Lei wanted to love Tigress, it was definitely Po.

Po smiled at his students as they all sat eating dumplings. His students had definitely grown so much in such a short amount of time. The defeat of Jindao definitely gave them a confidence boost and then The White Demon's downfall had taught them way more than he anticipated. His students could definitely handle whatever was thrown at them. Though they still needed a lot of training and he was going to teach them everything he knew.
Li Shan sat beside his son looking at the children and smiled. "Ever think about having kids, son?" He suddenly asked.
"Dad, now's not the time." Po sighed.
"Did you figure it out?" Li Shan looked at his son, knowing that Po knew what he was talking about. Po sighed and rubbed his face.
"Yes dad. A while ago actually." Po leaned against the table. "A while ago. I've been busy with other things though. I don't have time."
"Nonsense." Li smiled. "There's always time. But your years are catching up. If you know what you want, why waste time waiting?" Po looked at his dad in thought. He was right. He should have done something so long ago but the fear that she'll kill him for it lingered on his mind.
