Zootopia: Snowfall (CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN)

Chapter 17

AN: Really not sure if I like this or not 😩 Anyway enjoy!

I wasn't focused. Master Shifu knew this. All the Kung Fu Masters in the dojo knew this. Even Master Po, and he's the most oblivious and sometimes naive one of all. And it's because I wasn't focused that I'm currently on the ground with Master Tigress's foot on my chest, keeping me down.

"If you were paying attention, you'd have heard me coming," She scolded. "What's troubling you? What's got you down?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe its your massive foot that has me down?" I retorted, stupidly being smart with her, and grunting in slight pain as she pressed down harder.

"It would be wise of you to not sass me, fox," She said, calmly, not even looking angry or annoyed at me. She always looks at everyone with an angry or annoyed expression, including her husband, Master Po; though I know that's just an act so everyone doesn't think she favors him, which she clearly does.

When she does show any positive emotions it's very rare, and it's usually targeted or caused by Po himself. He sees her good side more than anyone else, and we love having those rare days when she's in a good happy mood.

Po is very talented at Kung Fu, but not with the ladies; at least that's what the other Masters have told me when I first arrived five years ago. I saw what they meant during my first year as I got to know him. I also saw what everyone else meant about Tigress being....intimidating. Not much has changed really. She's still scary, and Po is still funny.

To this day, no one knows how he was able to win Tigress's heart. He had talent, but we never thought he had that much of it! We still can't believe that a silly, laid back Panda like him managed to score a hardcore, stoic tiger like her. I had been taking martial arts classes for about two years when they finally got married; I was actually there at the wedding. It's been three years since then and their marriage is still going strong. Despite this, some still think it won't last.

I'm glad marriage didn't change them, personality wise, but I will admit, while Tigress hasn't changed a lot, she has simmered down just a little bit. She's still pretty scary, just not as much as she once was. She's nicer than what she was before in the past, and everyone couldn't be more grateful toward Po. After all, it's his doing. According to Master Monkey, she was never so happy and relaxed before falling in love with the panda. I don't know what he did to make her fall in love with him, but really, what's not to love about Po? Not even the hardcore can resist him and Tigress is proof of that. She is the hardcore.

But despite the fact that they're happily married he's still not allowed to call her by her real name; Angelina. Anyone who calls her that gets a beating, at least that's what Master Shifu says. Not even her beloved Po can get away with calling her by her actual name. And while sometimes I think Shifu's a crazy old mammal that says a lot of crazy stuff that makes no sense, I believe every word he says about Tigress. Why would he lie? I don't need to see it first paw to know Tigress can kill someone just by looking at them.

Which is why I sinfully hope that when Snow's kidnappers are found, Tigress will beat the living hell out of them until they are barely alive. Having them found and beaten by Tigress, and then put behind bars for the rest of their life seems to be the only thing on my mind these days. They deserve everything that my mind comes up with. Including death. Although death just seems too easy.

"She's right," Po said as he came to stand next to her, staring down at me. "It is never wise to sassily talk back to her."

I sighed as I closed my tired eyes; If my mind didn't keep me up with so many scenarios maybe I wouldn't be so tired. "I know and I'm sorry. I'm just..." I didn't want to say the same words that I've had on repeat for who knows how long. So instead, I trail off, saying nothing.
