Start of with the usual... I don't own Kungfu Panda, it belongs to Dreamwork. Thanks to them such an outstanding, not to say visually attractive animation was made. So, yeah, that's all and this is my second Kung fu Panda story.

*****Chapter 1: New Intro******

*

Morning day light covered the Valley of Peace in brightness. The early gong had been sounded, and the streets are getting as busy as always. Mr. Ping's business is getting well every now and then. People come and go at his small little shop, but the tables were never enough to keep up with the customers' increasing number.

"Po." shouted Mr. Ping."You got a visitor!"

"Okay," mumbled the panda from up stair. "In a minute!"

It's been 2 months since he left the Jade Palace to help his dad in his business. Once in a week, Shifu and the furious five would pay them a visit. Normally, Shifu would play a game of Chinese Chess with his dad, and even though Mr. Ping is just a noodle folk, his tactics are still incredible; Tigress would drag Po into a sparring match, and for that, the folks would gather around to watch them battle each other.

Monkey and Mantis would joke about what's happening in the palace. Once, they told him that Shifu had added a new training course for them, calling it "Shooting Dragons". He actually got the idea from Po's bouncing attack. The trainers will be locked inside a room, and forced to dodge a series of giant rubber balls that bounces dangerously. Crane and Viper would urge Po to tell them the "secret ingredients", and it was fun hitting around the bushes as he continued to drag the topic week after week.

His room had been cramped with bowls as always. The sunlight shot across his room, on the walls and onto the posters of the furious five, which had been hanging there for years. Finding himself waking up on the ground instead of his bed again, he cursed for his kung fu dream. Don't know why, they had been repeating quite a lot lately. He lay on the wooden floor for a few minutes, before doing a successful flip to get on his feet.

"Oops, I did it again," sung the panda to himself as he danced along.

Then he jumped next to his window where he put his action figures.

"Monkey, crane, mantis, viper, tigress." Before he mimic the roar of a tiger, he peek outside his window to makes sure nobody is looking. Then "Roar!" as he imitates a tiger that is ready to strike. Finally he came to the last one, which he just acquired it few days ago. Doubtless, it still has the "new" sense of smell.

"Hello handsome." Giving his own toy replica a slight pat at the head.

"Po!" called Ping from downstairs, snapping the panda back. He quickly headed to the stairs, but then took a few steps backward; grabbed the Dragon Scroll on the table, and slide it open.

"Yeah, baby." muttered him as he checked his own reflection on the golden surface, giving himself a brush on his head. Then he hurried down the stairs, only to find his dad busy packing a stack of noodle bowls.

"Morning dad."

Mr. Ping said nothing, but gave Po a winkle in the eyes, signaling there is someone there to meet him. Looking at the direction where his dad pointed, he saw Master Tigress, standing in front of the store, arm folded. Most of the folks behind her seemed to be whispering among themselves, eyes passing back and forth between her and the panda.

"Owh," Po whispered to Mr. Ping, bending down slightly. "What is she doing here?"

"Who knows," replied Mr. Ping, soft enough not to be heard by the tiger. "Are you hiding something?" and gave him a "your girlfriend?" look, which makes Po frowned.

"Dad," said Po. "There is nothing really going on between me and her. No, uh-uh, not yet… I mean urmmm… not for now, and not… You know…"

Mr. Ping smiled and continued his work, signaling him again to go attend his visitor soon. The panda stood there for few seconds, took a deep breath and looked at Tigress, who greets him with a wave of the hand.

"Ssssssso," dragged Po when he approached Tigress, resting one of his hands on a table, while another on his waist. "What brings you here?"

"2 bowl of noodles," replied the tiger with a slight smile. "Take away."

Po widened his eye, surprised as she finished. Tigress normally chooses tea over noodles at his shop, saying that noodles are too heavy for her... Now she is going for two?

"Whaa….. I mean of course… Sure, 2 bowl of noodles, take away," said him.

"Don't choke, it's not for me," added her after seeing his reaction.

"Oooooooooooh…. Riiiiiight." Before he went to inform his dad about the orders, he turned at Tigress again. "…. Urmmm… Is that it?"

"No."
