The day was going great for the members of the Jade Place, everyone was happy, smiling, and having a great time. After diner, Tigress, went to her room and never returned. The others were getting worried and sent Viper to check on her, when Viper returned she had tears pouring out of her beautiful eyes while holding a few letters by her tails.

"She's gone." was all the snake said.

"What do you mean she's gone?" Master Shifu asked. He was never the one to play favorites with his students but Tigress was his prize student because she was his daughter.

"All of her stuff is gone from her clothes to her shoes and all she left were these letters." The snake answered. She handed the letter with Shifu's name on it and everyone watched as he walked away with worry written all over his face.

"Well, let's read the letter that she left us."Po said as his voice cracked a little. He truly liked Tigress and even had a crush on her, so to hear that she left was hard on the poor panda. Monkey took the letter from Viper and opened it up for her so that she can read it aloud for everyone to hear.

Dear, Po, Viper, Crane, Mantis, and Monkey,

You guys are the few people in the world who I can truly call my friends. You guys never judged me on my past and welcome me with open arms. Viper I will always be greatful for the female friendship that we have shared together, I never thought that I would have such a close relationship with a female who I can call me sister. Crane you were always so calm and your paintings were always so beautiful to me and that what I'm going to miss most about you. You were like my older brother to me and helped me understand life in a better light. Monkey and Mantis please keep up your funny jokes; you always made me laugh on a gloomy day. Po, even though we didn't get along in the beginning I still think that you're a great person with alot of talent. Keep making noodles the way that you do and good luck with being the best Dragon Warrior that you can be. You all might be thinking why am I leaving and it's because I don't feel like my talent is good enough for me to stay here with you all. Please remember that I love all of you with all of my heart.

Love you,

Tigress

By the end of the letter everyone at the table was in tears and thinking of ways to bring her back. Outside of the dining room, Shifu was listening to the letter that Viper just read out loud and pain hit his heart, harder than when Tai Lung threw him across the Hall of Warriors. 'She thought that her talents weren't good enough?' The aged master asked to his-self. This time the red panda walked to his room, ready to open the letter that his daughter wrote him. As he walked he wondered why she didn't write on the same sheet of paper as her fellow teammate's letter. Once in his room Shifu sat on his bedroll and opened the letter.

Dear Master Shifu,

Did you ever love me? Name a time that you ever said that you were proud of me? Cause if you think that you told me then you are must be mixed up with telling Tai Lung or even the others that, but never me. Do you think that I was a monster too? Children need love, hugs, and warmth and monster don't get that. So I guess I'm a monster now because I never got any love, hugs, or warmth from you. I tried making you see that I'm not going to be like Tai Lung but do you believe that? I always thought that someone was going to love me and teach me how to be me. You took me in and made me into the best damn kung fu master ever, but you also made me a monster. People said I was heartless and cold, but I'm not.

I just didn't have the father figure in my life to teach me about love like normal children. I kept a wall around mine heart and never let people in because you never let me in. Tai Lung may have master one thousand scrolls but he destroyed the Valley twice and you never saw his mistakes and you still loved him better than someone who tried to stop him. Once myself and the others came back from the bridge fight, all I heard was "What were you thinking? He could have killed you!" Not once did I hear "Good job for trying. I'm glad that you're okay." What the hell do I have to do to get love around here? I was upset with myself when I wasn't picked to be the Dragon Warrior and I thought it was my fault, but it wasn't.

Even though Po and I didn't get along at first, you still treated him better than me in the first week than you ever did with me with my whole life living here. You took him n camping trips to learn away from the rest of us, what were we not good enough to be around him? I was never good enough to replace your beautiful and perfect son was I? You always pointed out mine mistakes and I'm sorry that I wasn't made into a flawless Kung Fu master on my first kick move like your damn son. But just to let you know your son tried to kill me on the bridge but I don't think that you care because you were trying to apologize to that son of a bitch that almost killed you if it wasn't for Po. The point is I'm tired of trying Shifu and I'm leaving so go ahead and replace me like you did Tai Lung and I hope that whoever it is, has what you never saw in me.

Love,

Tigress

Shifu couldn't believe what he just read.
