A/N: Okay guys I hope you're ready for the sequel. I'm going to make sure this one has more action than the first one. I'm trying to get the chapters a little longer than in the first one. So hope you all enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kung Fu Panda or any of the characters except my OC, Gao which I made up.
Po and Tigress have been doing everything together since that night at the Bamboo Forest a month ago. They train together, talk a lot more often now, and they fight enemies together too. They were both surprised Master Shifu even approved their relationship. Right now they were both meditating by the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
Ever since Tigress was with Po she began to notice her surroundings when she's not just in a battle. Like now she can feel the cool summer breeze flow through her fur. She can smell the sweet scent of peaches from the peach tree. All was quiet until the messenger, Zeng, flapped his wings through the air landing in front of Po and Tigress.
"I have a message for Master Tigress." He said giving it to her then flying away. Tigress opened the scroll and examined it. Po looked over her shoulder trying to figure out who it was from. "Who's it from?" He asked giving up on trying to find who it was from.
Tigress groaned in annoyance. "What? Was it something I said?" Po asked. Tigress sighed. "No, it's just from this person I knew when I was younger, Gao" She said she said in disgust. "Okay so is there something wrong with this person?" Po asked "Yes there is something very wrong with this person." She said tossing the scroll on the ground. Po picked it up. "Can I read it?" He asked "Sure." Tigress said.
Po opened it and began to read it.
Dear Tigress and masters of the Jade Palace,
I am coming to the valley of peace tomorrow and I was wondering if you had any extra room in the palace. I'm traveling the country to learn new kung fu techniques and I was wondering if Master Shifu would teach me a little. See you tomorrow masters of the Jade Palace.
Gao
He looked from the scroll to Tigress, "Wait, hold up, who's this Gao person?" He asked. "Calm down. He's not really a big deal, he just acts like it." She said making her way down the stairs. "Where are you going?" Po asked "To tell Master Shifu." She replied. Po caught up with her and asked, "So what else can you tell me about this Gao person?"
Tigress looked off into the distance trying to remember all the details about him. "Well I guess I should start on how I first met him."
*Flashback nine years ago*
Tigress' POV
"I was in the village with Master Shifu. I was fourteen years old. We were picking up some food for that nights dinner. I stopped at a cart stocked with apples, I hadn't eaten all day because Shifu was training me hard that day. I turned around, I couldn't find Master Shifu anywhere. I started wandering around the village supermarket until I saw this tiger looking at me. He looked about my age and he was leaning against a building not moving at all. He started freaking me out so I walked away. I turned a corner, looked back for one second, and I ran into somebody. I apologized for running into him. It turns out that was the same tiger that was looking at me. Something told me he planned that but I wasn't sure. He introduced himself to me and started asking me all these weird questions, like 'what's your favorite color?' Or 'what do you like in a guy?' And everything I said he said the same about himself. I'm pretty sure he made up half the stuff he said though. I finally found Master Shifu looking for me and I just left Gao standing there. I heard him call out 'i'll see you around' and I hoped I wouldn't."
*End of flashback*
Po looked at her, "So when was the next time you saw him?" He asked "About a week later. He sent me a letter telling me to meet somewhere in the park. I got there and he was holding a bunch of roses." Tigress said "Uh... Why?" Po asked not liking this guy already. "I guess he liked me, but I never once liked him. He was so annoying, he kept showing off his muscles to try to impress me or win me over but it obviously never worked. Oh and another thing he would always interrupt my training." Tigress said about done with this topic. "Okay. That's a lot. When was the last time you saw him?" He asked. "Um... About a year before you were chosen as the Dragon Warrior actually. He said he was moving and I was like 'Thank The Gods he's out of my life' but I guess good things can't last forever." She said sadly
They were almost at Shifu's room by this time. They stopped outside his door, "Po would you mind going somewhere else, I'd like to talk to him alone." She asked. "Oh sure." He said kissing her on her cheek, giving her the scroll he still had and walked away out the Jade Palace doors.
"Master Shifu may I come in?" Tigress asked. "Yes you may." She heard his voice say. She walked in,"What can I help you with Tigress?" Shifu asked "Well a few minutes ago, while me and Po were meditating, Zeng brought me a message." She handed him the scroll and he began reading it. He closed it and looked at Tigress. "Well I suppose he can stay for a few days and learn a few things." Shifu said. Tigress was shocked he said this, she told Shifu about how he distracted her from training and everything else he did. "But Master I- you know what he did I need to focus on training and with him here I can't!" She exclaimed. "Master Tigress you were a teenager at the time and I presume that your focus has gotten better over the past few years. If he is just coming and learning kung fu, what harm can be done?" "All the harm in the world!" Tigress said getting frustrated. "Master Tigress, maybe he has changed, you don't know that unless you give him a chance, everyone deserves a second chance." Shifu said
Tigress was shocked when he said everyone deserves a second chance. He never gave Tai Lung a second chance. He never even gave her one chance. All he did was take her out of the orphanage and train her. The only person he ever gave a second chance to was Po. The Dragon Warrior is one thing, but a second chance to someone he barley knows, that's messed up.
"You never gave me one chance." Tigress said in a low voice almost a whisper so that Shifu could barely hear it. "What was that Tigress?" Shifu asked not hearing what she said "Nothing, it's not like you would care anyway." She said walking out of his room. Shifu stood there with a confused look on his face. He shook it off and went back to the meditating he was doing before Tigress arrived.
Tigress walked slowly to the nearest pillar, walked around to the other side so she wasn't facing Shifu's room. She leaned against it and slid her back down it. She let out a sigh. She bowed her head, she wasn't about to cry, she was just very frustrated.
A/N: Okay so tell me what you guys think so far. Yeah sorry if it's a little sad at the end, I was listening to some sad music while writing this because I was mad and music seems to calm me down. Oh and I'll try to update everyday if possible.
