Chapter 3: Sneaking out and getting disappointed
Authors note: Thank you so much for the reviews. I've just come home from school but I really want to add another chapter so.... read and enjoy.
Po had enough of eating only stupid salad. Especially broccoli, he absolutely hated it and always left it at dinner but Shifu would just sit there until he ate it all up.
"WHY ME !!!!" Po yelled slamming his head down on the table as Shifu sat there with a grin plastered to his face. "Calm down panda it is only one more bite of the good stuff" Shifu explained "what good stuff ? You call this healthy ?!" Po asked waving the broccoli in front of Shifu's nose. "Why yes panda I do find it healthy it's better than noodles or dumplings" Shifu said still smiling "no the things I eat are healthy !" Po said "well if they were healthy I wouldn't be putting you on a diet right now" Shifu explained "are you suggesting I'm fat ??!! Well I have some information for you MASTER SHIFU I am not fat,of course I'm not as skinny as Crane but I am not as fat as you make out and I don't need a stupid diet !!!" Po shouted to the stunned master "well let's see can you touch your toes ?" Shifu asked. Po got up and tried to reach his toes and stay balanced at the same time. It didn't work he fell over face first and broke a panel of wood in the process. "OK well maybe I do need to lose a little weight but come on! Stop feeding me stupid broccoli please! I beg of you!!" Po pleaded getting on his Knees and begging for mercy. "Alright panda but only if you promise me you won't sneak out at night and eat then make yourself ill" Shifu said as the panda slowly nodded. "Anyway speaking of which is that why Crane,Mantis and Viper haven't spoken to me since I threw up on them ??" Po asked "Well why don't you ask them for yourself Po" Shifu said as he stood up and left the room.
Later that evening...
Po hadn't really gathered much confidence to apologize to Crane,Mantis and Viper for throwing up on them three days ago.
Shifu stopped the panda as he made his way to the kitchen for dinner, "Po we were all waiting for you" Shifu said as the frowning panda sat down. "Sorry master I was just walking around" Po explained "well I'm so glad you decided to join us" Shifu said with a little enthusiasm that Po didn't even seem to notice. Tigress and Monkey sat Po's side if the table acting normal but on the other side sat Mantis Viper and crane who all glared at Po and frowning at the same time.
"So Po how's the diet coming along ?" Monkey cheekily asked laughing quietly to himself "oh just great I bet I have just lost over ten pounds over these past three days with the way Shifu is starving me !!" Po said sternly glaring at Shifu, Shifu just glared back and just plainly said "I think I will chose to ignore that comment". "Well I bet you haven't threw upover these past couple of days have you Po ?!" Crane said both angrily and sarcastically at the same time "Yeah I bet you haven't even ate any of our food !!" Mantis added. "Look I'm sorry for throwing up on you and eating your food and I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything so I'm sorry" Po said looking at them as they turned their expressions from angryto glad. "That's all we wanted... an apology" said Viper.
Later that night...
After dinner Po still felt hungry (starving is a better word to describe it) and wanted to get something to eat, but he promised Shifu he wouldn't sneak out and get anything to eat and he didn't want it to turn out like the other night when he tried to do it. "no I'll be fine it's just my stomach playing tricks on me that's all" Po whispered to himself.
All of a sudden Po's (sensitive) nose started leading him out of the door, he could smell something, something good. It was an unusual smell and it smelt similar to Cranes fish dip. "It can't be Cranes fish dip can it ??" Po thought to himself. Cranes fish dip made him ill in the first place and tasted revolting but it smelt good,and that is why Po ate it in the first place. But this smell was different in a way, getting closer to the source of the smell Po could smell something else,it smelt like Noodles or dumplings and the fish smell was gone.
Po's nose had lead him through to the kitchen but know one was there but there was a steaming pot on the stove. As Po slowly walked over to it someone jumped and let out a small squeak or quacking sound then slowly stepped into the light. It was Zeng the palace messenger (and a very jumpy one at that). "Zeng what are you doing in here ?" Po asked "I was going to ask you the same thing dragon warrior, I thought you were on a diet" Zeng said shaking slightly. "How do you know that ?" Po asked unsure "well Shifu told me, and I have also been the one going into town every morning getting your vegetables" Zeng explained. Po decided to change the subject "what are you cooking in there ?" he asked slowly looking over the pot "Oh I'm cooking Duck seed with some pond weed and a few string beans with noodles. I felt like having a midnight snack and this is good for me, anyway why are you in here ?" Zeng asked. He had just asked Po the dreaded question that he didn't want to answer, he knew if he told him he was getting a snack Zeng would just tell Shifu and then he would be in deep trouble. "Em... I just came for a... glass of water" Po said getting a glass out of the cupboard, "oh I thought you came for something to eat but... it doesn't matter" Zeng said plainly sitting down with his bowl of food. "Well I had better be going back to bed" Po said leaving the room tripping over a chair in the process "OK good night dragon warrior" Zeng replied and then continued to eat.
Out side the kitchen Po felt completely embarrassed, annoyed and most of all disappointed. He just blew his chances of getting something tasty in his stomach for the past three days. Po walked slowly back to his room to try and at least get some rest let alone sleep.
Authors note: OK I know this chapter isn't that funny but I'm running out of ideas could you please give me some on how to make it more funny. Thankyou.
