Month with Tigeress
CH2: Welcome to the Jade Palace

As I reached the top of the stairs i saw the bunnies and others walk inside the gate getting the seats to perpare to watch the furious five. I was so exicted i couldn't wait to see Tigeress in action so i walked past the gates and looked for a place to sit down.

I couldn't find anyway to sit down so i did the next best thing i leaned on a wall next to the gate, now i can finnaly take in the sights of the Jade Palace itself, as far as i can see it look really impressive and i can't wait to try to get in and explore but i have to be a student first. It be really hard to be near tigeress if i was a normal citazen so my best bet is to ask Shifu after the performance.

As the gate beside me closed and the drums began to play i saw Master Shifu himself take the stage. "Citazens of the vally of peace i give you the Furious Five" After thoes words he pointed towards the sky, everyone looked up inculding me and there they were falling from the sky as i noticed tigeress herself. To me she was moving in slow motion as her body was spinning towards the ground and landed perfectly and leaped in her pose to join in union with the rest of the masters. Crane finished it off by blowing the wind towards us closing the window above my head.

I was breath taken as shifu announced the first event that Crane took part. As time went by i witnessed all Crane,Viper,Monkey and Mantis events and then shifu announced Master tigeress on the stage to face a wooden ox holding six swords. My heart must have skipped a beat as the first sword came down towards her but she side stepped it and jumped on its arm avoiding blade by blade in till she reached the head and one hard kick the head came clean off smashed to bits as it landed.

The crowd celebrated for a short while as everyone suddenly turned there heads to Master Oogway as he walked towards the stairs with his hand pointed out. "Citizens of the valley of peace Master Oogway will now choice the dragon warrior" The time had come, i knew what was about to happen next. I closed my eyes and waited as my ears picked up someone scarming above and then followed with a thud.

I opened my eyes just to see Po waking up looking dazed at the masters and then at Oogway pointing at him. "huh...oh sorry i just wanted to see who would become the dragon warrior" Po bowed and walked back as tigeress stepped forward. "Master are you pointing at me" "him" repiled Oogway as Po tried to escape from his point. Oogway then lifted his arm "Our universe has sent us our dragon warrior". My ears picked up lots of people saying what as the drums start to play.

I closed my eyes again as the citizens once again celebrated. I thoughts carried me and tried to understand Tigeress pain, she trained so hard to become the dragon warrior but Po ruined that for her. I sighed as i now watched the citizens leave. I saw shifu talk to his students and said to myself "this is my chance"

I took a deep breath and lifted myself off the wall and walked towards Shifu. "Excuse me are you master Shifu" i walked past the furious five and made eye contact with Shifu. "i am and who may i ask who you are" "my name is Stripes i came from Japan to learn Kung fu at the Jade Palace" The five looked at each other puzzled "Why do you want to learn Kung fu" "to better myself and learn the many ways of Kung fu"

He was slient as he walked around me analzaing me, i thought to myself have i screwed up is he going to say no to me. He finnaly spoke "I will see what you are capable off but not today i have...the dragon warrior to see master Tigeress please look after this one and let him see your traning for today after that send him to our spare rooms"

"Yes Master" Tigeress bowed respectfully as i did the same "thank you Shifu" "now that you are my student you will call me master Shifu and obay every order i give you do you understand"

"Yes master i do" i lifted my head as shifu nodded and walked upstairs. "Come we head to the traning hall where you will train tommrow" Master Tigeress said as she walked ahead off me with the other masters. I followed behind them couldn't wait for further events. Then it hit me Tai long will escape tommrow, fear went to my head i know my traning wasn't going to start tommrow they be to busy with Po trying to get him to quit or is it possable that i changed events just by joining.

I know one thing at least i will have time to bond with tigeress as time passes by hopefully she will take notice of me. My thoughts snapped as we reached the entrance to the training dojo. I couldn't wait i was ready to try my best to get tigeress to know me and hopefully love me.
