Hello. Gulefritz here.
Once read a quite good story, about Tai Lung ending up in the crate of radishes instead of Po, and Po ending up at the Jade Palace at an early age. A shame he has not updated the story, so I thought I would make a story of my own, with this very concept. Tigress will also be, in this story. I know she is, younger than Tai Lung, with around ten to twenty years difference, but here will it just be one to two. Don't worry, she will still be at the Bao Gu Orphanage.
Now let's start, shall we?
It was a very bright night in the Valley of Peace. The stars lightning up the village, no cloud in sight. The people of the valley would all be sleeping within their homes, in their beds. Yet, not all would be sleeping. On the way to the Jade palace, a person with something wrapped in cloth is on its way to the palace. The stranger takes on step on the one-thousand step stairs. "The Jade palace is closed for visitors at this hour, you should honor the masters by let them have their sleep" a rhino wearing a black armor, hiding him beneath the shadow of a tree. The stranger's eyes would widen and run away, heading into the village.
The stranger makes down an alley and look around, to see if the rhino followed, but would seem he stayed at the stairs. The stranger would look down at the cloth-wrapped bundle in its arms. A small snow leopard cub, sleeping in the arms of the strangers. The stranger would find the backdoor or "Mr. Ping noodle shop" an lays down the bundle in a crate of radishes by the door. A tear would fall down from the stranger's eye, accidently hitting the cub, waking him up. It would look very happy, even purring at the figure in front of it, but suddenly, it would disappear.
Inside, Ping, the owner of the noodle shop is enjoying a late cup of tea, together with a regular customer, a sheep called Wu, playing an enjoyable game of Mahjong. "It's nice that you would join me for a late game of Mahjong, Miss Wu." The sheep would smile at him "Anytime Ping, I know how lonely you can get here". Ping was about to reply, when they both heard sounds from the backdoor. "Mew", both goose and sheep would look at each other now. "Mew?" Ping would stand up "Did you hear the mewing" before Wu could answer "Mew", this time though, some crying can be heard. Ping rushes to the door, and finds a snow leopard cub, lying in a crate of radishes. "Would you look at that, what are you doing here?" Ping would ask, before looking at each side of the alley looking for its parents. Seeing no one would he picks up the cub, and walks inside, and shows the cub to Wu. "Who is that?" Ping would shake his head. "I don't know, he was lying alone in a radish crate outside, perhaps he was abandoned?" Both sheep and goose would look at the cub, looking at both strangers and would begin to cry. Ping would react instantly, trying to soothe the cub. "What are you going to do now?" Wu, asked him. Ping would look at the sheep and smile at her "Seems, I will have to adopt him, the Orphanage got enough children, and as you said, I am a lone goose, and who know? Now I got one to inherit the Noodle shop!" the sheep would walk up to ping and puts a hand, "I will aid you, if you need it Ping, but now I think it's time I go home" with that said, she turns around and leaves the Noodle shop "Night Ping, oh, nearly forgot, you have a name for him?" Ping would give him one look, thinking about a name, when someone by mistake has ignited a piece of firework, illustrating a dragon over the village. "Great dragon, Tai Lung".
3 years later.
Jade Palace, a female panda walks up the stairs, having sneaked around the rhino guard, who would be sleeping from drinking on duty. She would in her paws, hold a basket with something covered in a blanket. She would walk up the stairs looking around, fearing the worst and lays down the basket before knocking on the door. Shifu opens the door, having missed the figure moving in the shadows, and sees the basket he removes the blanket and finds an infant panda cub. He looks around for the cub's parents but see none. He picks up the basket and enters the Jade Palace.
Shifu walks into the kitchen with the basket, trying to figure out what to do, when Oogway, the elder turtle and grandmaster of the Jade Palace stands in the hall way. He looks upon Shifu "Who is our guest?", Shifu would look upon Oogway, having not expected him "Sorry, if I waked you master, this? I do not know? I heard someone knock on the door, and found him under a blanket in a basket.. do you think this is an accident?" Oogway would chuckle and smile at Shifu "There is no such thing as accidents, Shifu. This cub here, he is a part of your destiny, now put him in a bed and get some rest, you will need it" Oogway would smile for one last time, before turning around leaving for his own chamber.
Shifu would look confused at the cub, but would listen to the words of his master "Master Oogway is always right", He would walk into his chamber, and lays the cub in his bed, with some blankets over it, making sure he will not get cold. "But, what is his name? what should his name be?" Shifu would ponder on this question for quite sometime before deciding. "Po, your nam is Po"
With that Shifu went to bed, unaware that someone is watching him from the shadows of a nearby peach tree, smiling. "He is safe there" a soft and light feminine voice would come from the female panda "I hope we will meet again". The panda begins to descend down to the village.
Well that was chapter one guys. Review and tell me what you thought about it, and if I should continue, and of course what I should improve.
