don't own Kung Fu Panda
sequel to Clue
Po had made breakfast for everyone. He was putting the finishing touches on his creation. He didn't notice that an orange cat was sneaking up behind him. When Po turned around, Tigress smiled at him. Po jumped and yelled like a girl. Tigress's smile widened. "Good morning," She said laughing a bit. Po panted gripping his heart.
"Don't do that!" Po said gasping for air. Tigress snickered. "So what are you doing here? Don't you want to train?"
"What? I can't visit my good friend?" Tigress said talking to Po over his shoulder, nearly hugging him from behind. Po chuckled.
"Yeah, but it's new for you," Po said smiling.
"What, you're saying I can't learn new things?" Tigress asked.
"No, I'm just saying it's new for you," Po replied. Tigress quietly chuckled.
"Well, good to see you two are up," said a voice. Tigress and Po quickly parted to see their mystery solving clue-loving rat friend, Clue and their duck servant, friend, Zeng. They blushed brightly.
"I guess you're having fun cooking with Po," Zeng said smirking. Tigress growled.
"I liked you better when you were a shy, scared little servant. I don't like this sassy little Zeng," she muttered. Zeng just shook his head with his smug smile.
"What are you two doing here?" Po asked a little annoyed that they interrupted Tigress and his personal time.
"Well, things have been a little dull around here. I mean other than the usual fighting and bandits and stuff. So, I'm excited to tell you that we've gotten a new mystery case," Clue said.
"So I guess the old gang is going to solve this one," Po wondered. Clue smiled. He knew that Po asked that question because he wanted Tigress to solve it with them.
"Alright, the cat can come along," Clue teased. Tigress growled.
"Here's the case," Clue explained as they neared the crime scene, "Fung and the croc bandits have stolen an old lady's entire clothing shop. The woman makes very fine cloth so its really quite expensive."
"When did this happen?" Tigress asked.
"Over night," Clue answered as they went past the guarded crime scene. Absolutely nothing was left on the racks. The place had been swept clean.
"The croc bandits finally managed to work a crime without us knowing? That's weird," Po said.
"Exactly, and Fung and his gang say that they didn't do it, but the old woman says she saw them," Clue replied. Tigress and Zeng looked around for clues.
"Well, we know that they were here. Their footprints are everywhere," Zeng concluded. Tigress took a good look at the footprints. Something was off. Anyways, the group went to the prison to see Fung and the others.
"Well, well, I didn't think that you could actually do it, Fung. Stealing and actually almost getting away with it. Nice," Po taunted.
"Gah, we didn't do it," Fung claimed, "We're weren't even there."
"Yeah we were busy stealing someone else over the edge of the village," Gahri said. There was a total silence before Fung threw his hat to the ground.
"Darn it Gahri! You didn't have to tell them that," Fung fumed. Tigress looked at the crocs and noticed that they were all different with height and weight. Before Lion was about to say something, Tigress said.
"Thanks for telling us. Your help is appreciated," Tigress said rushing outside. The others followed her.
"What was that about? I wasn't through interrogating them," Clue said once they were outside the prison.
"They didn't do it," Tigress simply said.
"How do you know?" Po asked.
"Because it was only one set of footprints that we saw," Tigress stated. Zeng snapped his feathers.
"That's right, they were all the same size and had the same depth to them. The whole gang couldn't have done it," He realized.
"So, that just means that they didn't do it. But who did?" Clue asked. Po rubbed his chin.
"Let's go check out that old lady and hear what she has to say," He said. When they got to the old sheep lady, they asked what the intruder looked like.
"It was scaly and huge just like those bandits," she said in the dearest old woman voice.
"So you only saw one?" Tigress asked.
"Why, yes. I assumed that the others already left," The old lady said. Tigress and Clue looked at each other.
"Compared to other crocs would you say that this croc was exceptionally bigger than the rest?" The mouse asked.
"Why yes. A huge fellow, right George?" The old lady shouted to her old goat husband. All the group heard was a wheeze. "He's very sick."
"Well, we have an idea about who it is," Clue said smiling to the others, "We'll check up on you once we've captured the crook." They left the place.
"These things are *snort* very pricey. I deserve a good gold yuan," Li-dong said threatening the duck counter person.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you the money," The duck said frighteningly giving the money over. When Li-dong turned around laughing, Po stood in front of him.
"Oh look, it's the big bad Dragon Warrior come to fight me alone. Well, panda, can you face me?" Po just touch a certain point on his chest and Li-dong fell limp. Clue, Tigress, and Zeng came in with him.
"Oh so that's why you wanted to face him alone," Tigress realized. Po nodded. They carried Li-dong to Chor-gom and finally met up with the old lady and brought back her clothing back.
"Oh thank you so much. I'm so happy. Even George is happy," The lady pointed to her wheezing husband. The husband seemed to motion to Tigress and Po. He wheezed out.
"The tiger and the panda have always fought, one of peace and one of power, but both gave up their child to end the war between them. Now they must learn their history," He said wheezing. He finally went to sleep. The four looked at each other in amazement.
"What did he mean?" Clue said when they finally got back to the Jade Palace. Tigress stood over Po, who was sitting down. Her hand was on his shoulder.
"The tiger and the panda have always fought? Does that mean that we weren't meant to be?" Tigress asked fearing the worst. Po touched her hand reassuringly smiling.
"Maybe...he was talking about...your guys' past. Maybe he knows the mystery of your past," Clue suggested. Zeng just came in looking depressed.
"Maybe we should ask him," Tigress said.
"We can't," Zeng muttered, "Her husband just died from his sickness." There was a major silence for a while. Po stood up.
"That doesn't mean that the mystery is unsolvable. We can figure this out, we just need to find some clues," Po smiled. So now the new mystery began.
