A Fox's Life at the Jade Palace

Age 13

"TAI-TAI! MASTER SHIFU WANTS TO SEE YOU!" yelled Kimiko to Tai Lung... who was on the other side of the Jade Palace. "AND HE SAYS YOU BETTER HURRY OR ELSE!"

"Ow, my ears. That fox sure can shout..." muttered Tai Lung massaging his ears from another onslaught of Kimiko's extremely loud shouting. He turned around to find that Kimiko had snuck up on him. "GAH!" Tai Lung tripped on his tail and fell backwards.

"Sorry Tai-Tai, thought you heard me. Anyways, Shifu's at the Peach Tree of Wisdom. I'd hurry up if I were you." Kimiko skipped away leaving Tai Lung to get up on his own. He thought about this peculiar feeling inside. Like there were butterflies in his stomach or something. Tai Lung quickly walked to the Peach Tree of Wisdom trying to brush the dust from his bottom. Kimiko looks beautiful today... AGH! NO! BAD THOUGHTS! BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD!!! I WILL NOT THINK THAT WAY!!! EVER!!! NO NO NO NO NO!!!! His eye twitched slightly as he continued trying to rid himself of such thoughts. SHE IS MY FRIEND AND TEAMMATE! I WILL NOT THINK OF HER THAT WAY!!! I AM NOT GOING TO THINK THAT WAY!!! EVER!!! Maybe Master Shifu can do something about this... which reminds me, I need to ask him something...

~*~Flashback Time! ~*~

"Hey Tai-Tai! I know where babies come from!" said Kimiko after another training session. Tai Lung scoffed at that.

"Yeah right!"

"Yeah so! They come from the stork!"

"Well, who said they do?"

"Mother and Father."

"I'm going to ask Master Shifu." But he never gotten around to it and only remembered it a couple days later.

~*~ Present Time! ~*~

"Tai Lung, there is something I need to tell you." said Shifu, right behind Tai Lung.

"I WAS NOT THINKING ABOUT KIMIKO!" said Tai Lung quickly.

"Er... right. I think that I have to tell you that since tomorrow is an important holiday, you will not train all day." said Shifu. Just as he turned to go, Tai Lung quickly asked,

"Master Shifu, where do babies come from?" Shifu stumbled and nearly had a heart attack. Ok, stay calm and give him The Talk. Inner Peace... Inner Peace...

"ASK MASTER OOGWAY!" shouted Shifu as he ran all the way to his room where he hid under the bed and didn't come out until supper.

"... I never saw Master Shifu act like that... Guess I better ask Master Oogway." Tai Lung quickly walked to the Moon Pool and found Master Oogway drinking tea. "Master Oogway, where do babies come from?" Master Oogway spit the tea he was about to drink all over Tai Lung. "Eww...."

"Sorry Tai Lung, you surprised me." Master Oogway stood up and grabbed his staff "Let me tell you about the birds and the bees..."

~*~ 10 Minutes Later ~*~

Tai Lung twitched as he walked to the bath house. That... was... disturbing... he thought when suddenly he noticed Kimiko walking towards him.

"Hey Tai-Tai, whats-"

"THE MENTAL PICTURES! THE MENTAL PICTURES! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" shouted Tai Lung as he ran away from her, blushing and screaming all the way. The mental pictures that was caused by Master Oogway's Talk about the miracle of life was to much for him. He ran all the way to his room and literally jumped under the bed. Kimiko, being the curious as she is, decided to look for Tai Lung and ask him just what the mental pitcures were.

"TAI-TAI! WHERE ARE YOU?" yelled Kimiko as she walked in the Hall of Heroes. Suddenly, she remembered were Tai Lung used to hide when a storm occurred. "He's probably underneath his bed. Why didn't I look there in the first place?" She walked to his room and knocked as hard as you could on the paper door. "TAI-TAI! ARE YOU UNDERNEATH THE BED AGAIN?"

"KIMIKO! I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF MY BEDROOM! ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU CAME IN HERE MY FUR WAS TURNED BLUE!" shouted Tai Lung under the bed. Kimiko just rolled her eyes and opened the door.

"What the? Tai-Tai, why is there a trail of blood on the floor?" Tai Lung's head popped from underneath the bed. His nose had a thin trickle of blood from all the mental images.

"That explains it. Master Oogway gave you The Talk?"

"I-it was h-horrible. I'M TOO YOUNG TO KNOW THAT!!!!"

"You're thirteen, you are a teenager, this is the age when you're" Kimiko coughed a little, "hormones start to activate. And its-"

"NO! SHUT UP! I DON'T NEED TO BE EVEN MORE SCARRED!" And that is when Tai Lung had The Dreaded Talk.

Hehehehehehehe....

Tai Lung: Those images are STILL stuck in my head...

Me: And that is how Tai Lung got The Talk, experienced his first nose bleed, and to show you that Master Oogway is a, well, a-

Tai Lung: NO! I DO NOT NEED TO REMINENCE THAT DAY! IT WAS AWFUL! BAD DAY BAD DAY BAD DAY! *runs*

Me: Erm... REVIEW PLEASE! TAI-TAI! *runs after him*
