Chapter 14: Friendly Discussion
"Help, someone help!" shouted a lamb female. Her hazel eyes were wide with fear, as she held onto the window sill for dear life. The way down was a long way, as a bunch of robbers was trying to steal the safe. They had guns and were shouting at people to get down. The lamb got knocked too hard and fell towards the window, it opened and she grabbed on to the window sill. Now she feared today would be her last. Her grip was slipping and as much as she tried to hold on, she fell.
"AAAAHHhhh!" she screamed falling to her death. Just then she felt something grab her. She opened her eyes and saw a female cat wearing all purple with white wings, holding onto her.
"Don't worry ma'am, my name is Changeling, I will be your hero today," the female cat said gently. The lamb woman looked at her in awe, as another figure dressed all in black. He looked like a Dragon to the lamb, as he flew next to the one called Changeling.
"Changeling, you and the lamb lady okay?" he asked.
"Yeah Dragon, go and help the others stop those robbers," Changeling said to the animal in black. He nodded and flew towards the building. The lamb lady found herself on the ground and saw Changeling. "If you could call the cops that would be deeply appreciated," Changeling said smiling. Then she took off towards the building that was robbed that day. The robbers ran outside, hands, claws, clutching bags of money.
"Going somewhere boys?" asked Huntress.
"Oh no, the Furious Five!" shouted one robber.
"Don't forget Dragon and Changeling," said Changeling landing next to Dragon. The seven warriors stared down at the robbers.
"Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way. What is it going to be?" asked Dragon. The robbers raised up their guns and ran at them.
"Why do they always pick the hard way?" Emerald asked.
"Scatter!" Quick Jade yelled. Jokester jumped in front of his friends, forming a rubber barrier. The bullets bounced off his rubber body, giving his friends time to come up with a plan.
"Time to even the odds," White Shriek yelled. He flew in the air and let out an ear shattering shriek. The robbers held their paws or hooves over their ears, desperately trying to block the noise. Emerald turned invisible and disarmed them. Some robbers ran away trying to get to their cars. Yet, Dragon using his fire power melted the tires. Changeling and Huntress took down any robber that came their way. Quick Jade ran to get some rope and Jokester was helping him tie up the rest of the robbers.
Soon the robbers were tied up and the civilians were safe once again. The crowd cheered for them and they all bowed and took off. "Man that was amazing," Changeling said smiling.
"Good work Changeling," Po said proudly.
"Yeah Jokester, way to go using your body to shield us," Emerald said.
"Just glad it worked," Jokester said.
"Hey White Shriek did great using his power to disable the robbers," Quick Jade said. White Shriek smiled glad he did well.
"Yes, we all did well," Huntress agreed. They headed back to the Jade Palace and took off their costumes.
"Well, sorry guys but I have to go to work," Viper said.
"Make sure you have your communicator with you," Tigress said.
"I always do, be back later," Viper said.
"Yeah I am working too," Mantis said.
"Sadly I do too, bye," Crane said.
"I am going to rest up," Monkey said leaving to go to his room.
"I am going to start getting dinner ready," Po said.
"I think I might go train for a bit," Song said. Tigress was left alone and was debating what she should do. Song had been with them for a week, and so far she was working hard to gain people's trust. Yet, whenever she was around Po, it made Tigress's blood boil. She was trying to figure out why? Tigress thought she was suspicious because Song was once a thief and stole from Po even after he helped her. Of course she did say she would get to know Song for like Viper or what is Mantis that said this. Tigress didn't know Song's story, so maybe she should learn it. Taking a deep breath she headed towards the training hall.
"Hey Song, can we talk?" Tigress asked the leopard. Song, who was beating up a wooden dummy, turned around to face her.
"Um sure," Song said. This is odd Tigress, never wanted to talk with me before. Maybe she just wants to talk, be nice Song remember if Po trusts them. So, should you.
"I know our first meeting was not very good. I see you are trying to gain our trust and I appreciate that. Yet, if I am going to trust you, I want to know your full story," Tigress said.
"Okay that sounds fair," Song agreed. "I was orphaned at age five, my parents died of a sickness. I was taken in by a group of dancers, called the Ladies of the Shade. I was five when I met them, and that is when I learned how to steal. They took whatever they wanted, food, clothes, jewelry, and I didn't want to do that. I think if you have to steal then you should steal what you need. So, I left when I was about ten. I learned to control my gift but at times I was seen as a freak. When I was twelve I stole from a bad man, don't remember his name. The only time I stole money was because I couldn't find food. I figured if I stole the money, once I found food. Then I could get more than a few mouthfuls of bread. Instead I found Po, and he became my family. And well you know the rest, that is my story," Song said.
"Is that the truth?" Tigress asked.
"Yes," Song said.
"Okay I will believe you," Tigress said. "For future references, I don't trust easily unless Oogway or Shifu tells me they can be trusted. Hence why I trusted Po, for he saved me even before I met him," she said.
"Oh so you were the tiger girl, Po thought he scared. He said once when he was a kid, he saved a tiger girl from being crushed to death by a boulder. Of course another one came after them both and he said, she picked up the boulder and threw it over her head. He was impressed but feared when she saw his healing ability, that she would think he was a freak and ran," Song said.
Tigress was shocked, Po remembered her from way back when. Well, she was happy that he remembered her in a good way. Soon she can tell him that she remembers him too.
"I know I have a lot to do to gain your trust, as well as everyone else's. The only one I truly want to gain their trust back first is Po's. I deeply care for him and I don't want to lose him," Song said.
Tigress's chest tightened but remained calm. "Good I deeply care for him too and I don't want to see him hurt," she said gently.
Song's face seemed to have a knowing look. "I am glad we agree on that, so for Po's sake we can try to gain each other's trust. For as you said we both deeply care for him. So, for Po's sake I will give you a chance if you give me one," Song said holding out her paw.
"Will do," Tigress said shaking her paw. Once they shook paws both felines felt relieved but now a new problem entered their minds. They both deeply cared for Po but who would he choose to stay with?
