Clue
Don't own Kung Fu Panda.
Question: Do we really need to put this on? I mean considering name of the site.
Po was training his high-kicks with Monkey and Mantis in the Training Hall. It was fairly early in the morning and Po was still slow from his slumber. He made a high-kick at the punchbag and it whacked him back. "Ugh! I'm tired of that thing. I can fight boar, croc, wolf, and ox bandits, defeat crazed and sinister villains, and train with the Furious Five, but I can't defeat this thing?!" Po exclaimed as he pushed the sand-filled dummy, and it whacked him again. Monkey laughed.
"Well, we all excel in certain things and fall short in other things. In your case, the dummy," Monkey laughed. Po glared angrily at his monkey friend. Suddenly, the doors bursted open to reveal a completely white Tigress staring angrily at Po, with a scroll in her hand.
"PO!" she yelled and lunged towards the panda. Po quickly ducked Tigress' attack and ran around the Training Hall.
"Luckily you can also out run us when you want," Monkey said dying from laughter.
"Help me, Guys!" Po pleaded.
"We're sorry Po. We can't get in between Tigress and her prey. That's too dangerous," Mantis explained.
"What?! But I didn't do anything!" Po screamed as he ducked another attack from Tigress.
"You're going to pay Po!" Tigress shouted. All the commotion caused Crane, Viper, and Shifu to appear.
"What's wrong?" Viper asked.
"Po's in trouble for pulling a prank on Tigress," Monkey said through his laughter.
"I DIDN'T DO IT!" Po shouted in helplessness. Tigress finally tackled him to the ground.
"I oughta-"
"Tigress! There are other ways to get back at one without being so...violent." Shifu said stopping Tigress. This made Tigress get off of Po and cross her arms, still fuming.
"BUT LOOK AT ME! I know he did this!" Tigress protested as she pointed to her white fur. "He put dye in the bathing water to make me look like this!"
"I DIDN'T" Po protested getting up from the ground.
"Yes he did! He even left a note saying he did it," Tigress said unraveling the scroll showing it to Shifu. At this point, Shifu, Crane, and Viper were shaking their heads while Monkey and Mantis were still laughing.
"You don't cover your tracks well, do you panda?" Shifu said handing the scroll over to Po.
"I promise you I didn't-" Po stopped short as he saw the scroll. There was something very unusual about the scroll. He looked on the back. There were markings on the back but he couldn't figure it out. Then he furled the scroll and the markings came together to form the word: CLUE! Po gasped at this.
"Well, what do you have to say?" Tigress said still mad. Po seriously at Tigress and Shifu. This threw the others off guard; why was he looking at them like that?
"Zeng!" Po shouted, "We've got work to do." He stormed off to find the duck. By now, everyone was still and silent. They decided to follow Po.
"What's wrong?" Zeng asked nervously. Po and the others were in his little working hut. It was much like the barracks with a little desk for Zeng. Zeng was sitting at the desk when Po called. Po handed him the scroll, and Zeng immediately sighed when he saw the word: CLUE! "I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do this anymore," he muttered.
"Me, too. Can you figure it out?" Po asked.
"When have I not figured it out?" Zeng said rhetorically.
"I don't understand. Why are you concerned about the scroll?" asked Tigress, who was still white but was calm now.
"Clue is the name of a person I know, an old friend that Zeng and I knew. He use to do stuff like this, but he was secretive about it," Po replied.
"So you're saying that he was the one that made Tigress white?" asked Crane. Po nodded. Zeng turned back around.
"Alright, figured it out. You know how base and acid works, right?" Po nodded but the others were confused. "It's basically that certain base things, like flour, react violently to acids, like acidic fruits like lemon or grapefruit. If you're careful, you can write a message with a base object that can only be seen with an acidic object," Zeng explained.
"Like Lemon?" Po suggested.
"Precisely," Zeng said as he held a lemon in his hand. He carefully ran the lemon juices over the back side of the paper. He let it sit for a while and words started to appear. As soon as it was done, he started read it.
"'If Zeng or Po is reading this, that means that Po managed to get in the shower before the tiger, or that the tiger stopped chasing Po long enough for him get this message. To Po and Zeng, I say greetings and glad to see you are well. As you may suspect, I need your skills that you used while we were in the spying detective business. You can bring your friends along (those that can withstand the bandits on the way) but I warn you, this is no easy task.' Like they ever are 'sincerely yours, Clue. P.S. For the tigress: don't worry, the dye comes off with pure water.' Well, this is great," Zeng said as he finished reading.
"If he can't figure out something on his own and needs our help, then he is in trouble," Po said.
"So where do we start?" asked Shifu. Po looked at Tigress white fur. She was already trying to wipe the dye out with a towel.
"There's only one person who sells dye here in the Valley of Peace, right?" asked Po.
"Yes, Mr. Chung. It's highly unlikely that Clue would stop there, but its worth a shot. Po and I will go down to the village and see what we can find. Master Tigress...will get her fur cleaned and we'll be right back," Zeng explained. As they went out the door, Po went near to Tigress and whispered.
"Told you I didn't do it."
