Chapter 3

Shifu's POV:

This trip would have started out well if only Monkey, and Mantis hadn't started it out with their annoying, so called jokes. We have been running for hours following this poison trail, and of all the things they could do, they cause an avalanche with one of their ridiculous pranks. It was outrageous. It started out normally.

There we were running up a snowy mountain when one of them decides to attempt to ambush Viper. They screamed, and the roar was unmistakeable as we fell down the mountain with hundreds of pounds of snow on the mountain. Needless to say we lost the trail. Yelling didn't help. They just wouldn't stop. So, I took the more major course of action.

"Monkey, Mantis, do you want to cause the death of a fellow warrior? Do you want me to be trying to keep Po, Viper, and Crane from killing you while trying to restrain myself? If not I would take this seriously."

We heard no further complaints for several hours. When we finally got the trail back it was too late to travel any further. It was unfortunately to dark.

Sleeping was an even bigger problem. The pranksters from before decided to fake snore all night. The racket was unbelievable. I was getting tempted to send them back, and have Po sent. I know better than that now though. Po would refuse to leave her side. I should know that better than anyone, the way they stare at each other it's a surprise no one else has noticed. As soon as I noticed Tigress staring I confronted her.

*Flashback*

" Tigress, I need to know something. Lately I've noticed that you have been staring at Po. What is the meaning of this trivial act?" I immediately questioned. The smile faded from her face. Followed by quite the shyness.

" I uh don't know what you're talking about. I don't stare." She stammered. She was always a very bad liar.

" Tigress you still have no lying skills. Tell me what is going through your mind. Don't make me, make this and order." I changed my voice to a demanding voice. The flinch was unmistakable.

" Alright. I really like him. Not as a friend. More than that, way more. Everytime I'm near him, my heart races. Ever since I met him, and began to notice he wasn't just another idiot, I've began to develop some sort of feelings the Panda. It's a wonderful feeling." She smiled, and became very excited. I groaned.

" It's called young love. It's very contagious. Do not express these feelings, they may fade, and we don't want to be picking up pieces of a broken Po, or a broken Tigress. Keep them to yourself for now." That will be all, you may return to your room.

*End Flashback*

I smiled remembering the conversation. I had been mistaken. Their feelings only grew, and it was slightly scary. They would be a very protective couple.

Hours later we ran into a very interesting problem. The trail was leading out of all the cities and heading towards Gongmen City. Arriving we were put in 8 point acupressure cuffs, and half dragged into the city. There in the middle of the town square stood Wolf Boss, and he was holding the poison.
