The warriors were now back at the Jade Palace and it was time for dinner. Everyone stayed silent during the whole meal because there was nothing much that they felt was an appropriate topic right then. They had noodle soup and just ate.
Tigress on the other hand, didn't even pick up her spoon and just asked to be excused from the table. Spontaneously, a certain tension in the kitchen was now relieved. Everyone else sighed, except Master Shifu who was meditating yet again. They then started to tend to their wounds they had gotten just recently.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After everyone finished up their meal and washed their dishes, Po decided to check on Tigress for a while, no matter how scared he was of her now. The rest of the five had already gone to their bedrooms to get some shut eye as Po quietly made his way to Tigress' room. He cracked her door open slightly and peeped in. Tigress was sitting on her bed with her head in her paws.
Sensing his presence, Tigress looked up. "What are you doing here?" She asked Po, startled a little.
Po replied, "I just wanted to check up on you. You were pretty exhausted before."
Tigress sighed. "Stop lying Dragon Warrior. You only came here to check if I was even inside, and not out and about causing fires to buildings." She said bitterly.
Po exhaled slowly and went to sit beside Tigress. He told her, "No, I just wanted to check on you. You're not evil and we all know that. We're just confused right now."
Tigress faced him. "You don't think it's because of the shadow that made me pass-out before, do you?" She asked Po in a serious tone.
"What do you mean?" Po questioned.
Tigress took a deep breath before saying, "During my...my 'rampage', I didn't feel like I was in control of my own body. I couldn't see what I was doing or what was going on. I just closed my eyes and I somehow managed to be in Chorh Gom Prison..."
Po's eyes grew wide. "We have to tell Shi Fu then!" Po exclaimed quietly. "Who knows what could happen if that shadow thing keeps controlling you. Come on!"
Po tugged on Tigress' arm but she stood her ground. "Po, as I told you before, I don't want Master Shi Fu to worry more than he as to! This news will just make things worse."
"And the news will GET worse if we don't do anything about it!" Po argued. He pulled on Tigress' arm harder, making her stand up.
Tigress tried to pull her arm back. "We..are going..to Shifu..to..help..you." Po managed to get the words out as he used all his strength to bring Tigress with him. Though, Tigress was glued to the spot and tried again to pull her own arm back. It then turned into a silent game of tug and war, so as to not wake anyone up.
"We're not going!"Tigress retorted.
"We are!" Po said stubbornly.
"Not!"
"Come on do you really want to live the rest of your life being accused?"
Tigress didn't seem to like that phrase at all and used all of her strength to get Po off of her. Although, Po hung on tight and instead collided into Tigress and bumping into the bed.
There was a bit of noise and woke Monkey and Viper up, but they were so tired from before that they just groggily went back to sleep and didn't bother.
Tigress and Po, who had squeezed their eyes shut before the mini crash, now opened them ever so slightly. Tigress' eyes soon widened as she realized the her and Po's mouths were...connected?!
