Half an hour late Shifu returned to the Jade Palace. Po, Crane, Mantis, Monkey and Viper were sitting near the sacred pool. They looked up to see Shifu and another tiger behind him. The tiger was mostly white but had hints of orange along the edges of his stripes, ice blue eyes, and a black open vest and brown pants. "Good to see you all here. This is Bao-Zhi." Shifu said as the tiger stepped forward. "And this is Po the Dragon Warrior, and then Monkey, Crane, Viper, and Mantis of the Furious Five." Bao bowed to them before looking around. "So where's Tigress?" He asked. Shifu looked at the five of them. "She locked herself in her room." Monkey said. Shifu frowned. "Any idea why?" He asked. Viper stared at the floor. "I know but she said not to say anything. And I promised." Bao-Zhi sighed crossing his arms. Shifu nodded. "Well, we'll leave her be for now." He said. "And while we wait, I'll show you around." Bao nodded.
Suddenly out of nowhere a blur of orange came flying into the room crashing into Bao who fell back on the ground. "Tigie!" Bao said smiling looking up at Tigress who was on top of him glaring at him. She narrowed her eyes. "Don't call me that!" She hissed at him. She jumped off him and Bao stood up. "Tigress! What is the meaning of this?" Shifu demanded as the others just stared at her. She didn't answer Shifu as she stayed on all fours glaring at Bao. Her tail flicked side to side. "How dare you show your face here!" She hissed. "Sis calm down! What's wrong?" Bao said calmly. "Me calm down?! How about you get out of here!" Bao watched as she stood up walking over to him glaring at him. He backed up against the wall. "You should never have come here!" She snapped. "Sis it's okay." He said putting his hand on her arm. She hit his arm off while also slashing the side of his face with her claws. He put his paw over the cuts on the side of his face. "You deserved that!" Tigress snapped before running out of the palace. "Tigress!" Viper called out but Tigress ignored her. Shifu looked at the five. "Go! Find her and talk to her!" He said and they nodded running out. "Never mind her. She'll calm down after a while." Bao said following Shifu off.
The five of them followed Tigress into the forest. They saw her leaning on a rock with her head on her arms crying softly. "Tigress, it's okay." Viper said sliding over to her friend. "Go away." Tigress said softly wiping away the tears. "Tigress please. We want to help you." She said. "I don't want any of your help. There's nothing you can do." Viper looked over at the others. "Shifu told us to come and talk to you." Po said walking over sitting down. "He's worried about you and so are we." Tigress looked up at him. "Look, I don't know what's wrong between you and your brother. You don't want to tell us and only Viper then that's fine. But we're still here for you. If you don't like your brother than that is your choice. We can't make you decide what you do. But just let us try and help you." He pleaded. Tigress just sat there in silence. "I just need some time to think." She said softly. "Good." Viper said. "Before I go home and kill him!" Viper sighed softly. "Why don't we go and train?" Po said looking at Tigress. "I'll let you hit me if it makes you feel better." Tigress sighed but nodded getting up. They returned to the training hall and began their practice. Po did as he said letting Tigress fight him and hit him as much as she wanted. Shifu walked into the hall watching them closely. He smiled to himself happy they got Tigress back to them. He walked out of the room leaving them be to continue on with their training.
Late that night, the others had all gone to sleep. Tigress however was still awake. She got up off her bed heading out of the building. She sighed softly as she walked down the path slowly. She stopped at the top of a hill looking out over the village. She sat down looking up at the stars. "Why did he come back after he left us?" she whispered to herself. "I thought he was gone. He never even came back for me." she pulled her legs against her chest resting her head on top of her knees. "He only wants something from me. He doesn't love me." She sighed softly. Tears rolled down her face as she squeezed her eyes shut. She stayed out there for the whole night just thinking and meditating as much as she could to keep herself calm.
Bao woke up early the next morning and looked out of his window seeing Tigress up on the hill heading back for their dorms. He walked out of his room heading for the door only to feel someone stop him. He turned his head to see Po holding his shoulder. "You're causing Tigress pain. Don't try and talk to her till she's ready." Po said. Bao raised an eyebrow. "And why should I listen to you? You're no one important to her." He said as Tigress walked through the door seeing them. "Maybe not. But Tigress is a friend and I don't like seeing my friends in pain." He said walking in front of Bao. "So if you want to show you care for Tigress, you'll leave her be till she's ready to talk to you." Po turned around walking into the kitchen to get something to eat. Bao look over at Tigress before walking off. Tigress walked back to the kitchen sitting down. "Morning Po." She said. "Morning Tigress." He said handing her something to eat. She took it eating it up quickly. "Wow. You're hungry for someone who's just got up." He said. "I didn't just get up." She said washing the dish up. "I was up on the hill all night meditating." She then walked out. Po frowned putting his empty bowl up following her. "Meditating? All night?" He asked. "Yes. I do that." She said. "Not since I've been here you haven't." He said. Tigress didn't say anything. "You really don't like Bao-Zhi do you?" he said. Tigress sighed softly. "I'm going to go train more." She said putting an end to the conversation. "Hey Po! You want something to eat?" Monkey called out. "Uh…y-yeah. Sure." Po said watching Tigress close the doors to the training arena before he went back to the kitchen.
Tigress came out of the hall an hour later walking by the kitchen where she could hear the others laughing. She stopped near the doorway watching as Bao told them tales about his adventures. Scary ones, funny ones, adventurous ones, sad ones, all the tales he could. Even Shifu was enjoying the stories. Bao glanced up seeing his sister's disappointment in her eyes before she glared at him and disappeared down the hall away from them.
