Po hardly sat down. He stared into the body mirror that Vince gave him. It was unbelievable what he saw in the reflection. "I finally got it," Po whispered to himself.

"Got what?" Tigress asked as she walked over to him. He was some distance from the group, so that they couldn't hear him. Po became nervous.

"What?! Oh! Nothing really. I was just talking to myself," Po said trying his best to lie. However, his best is actually THE worst. Tigress shook her head.

"Po, I know you're lying. What did you finally get?" She asked politely. Po sighed with a little smile.

"I finally got the body I always wanted. The body that would making people stop laugh at me. The body that everyone can respect," Po said in almost exhausted joy. Tigress's face frowned.

"Po, you were good just the way you were. Granted that there are some improvements, you shouldn't let people define who you are," She said comfortingly, resting her hand on Po's shoulder. Po smiled back at her. Po slid closer to her and put his arm around her.

"So, Tigress, do you like the new Po?" Po asked smugly. Tigress picked Po's arm off of her. She shook her head and chuckled a little.

"Don't even try, panda," Tigress said. She turned away so that Po couldn't see her blush. Just then the doors opened. Again, the group crowded around. There they saw a new Viper. She stood on slender smooth legs with her tail barely touching the ground. She was in a simple blue vest with a black lining down along the buttons. There were two noticeable bumps in her chest and her arms were dainty and smooth and butter, only showing a hint of muscle. Her head looked the same with her beautiful eyes and two flower clips on her head. Her head was proportionate to her body and her smile still showed.

"Wow," Crane gasped out. "Just, wow."

"How do I look?" Viper asked. Crane got the mirror that Po was looking into.

"How do you think you look?" Crane asked as he presented the mirror. Viper gasped at what she saw. "You look beautiful Viper," Crane said. The others cheered. Viper started to cry in tears of joy.

"I finally got it," Viper said through her tears. Po put his hand on her shoulder.

"I know," Po smiled. Viper hugged Po with all her might, which was apparently a lot. "Viper...air!" Po gasped out. Viper released him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hug you that hard," Viper apologized.

"Oh, that reminds me. Po and Viper will have an increase of strength. Like Leng said, it tends to make people stronger. So you two will have to restrain that strength," Vince mentioned. Po and Viper nodded.

"So, how's walking?" Tigress asked. Viper wobbled a little and fell into Crane's arms.

"It's a little weird in the least, but it's great! Um...thank you Crane," Viper said quite timidly as Crane helped her up. Then Viper quickly checked her head. She patted around to find nothing. She sighed relief. "Whew, I thought that I would grow some horrible horns." then she looked at Vince who had a deadpanned "really?" look. "Not ...that there's anything wrong with your horns, Vince."

"Let's just get to the training hall to test out your strength," Vince said dismissing the insult. They got to the strength test to see that Viper could lift 300 lbs. Twice of what she usually could lift with her tail. "Word to the wise," Vince advised as Viper put down the weights, "Your tail is the strongest part of your body because you're a snake and you naturally use your tail more. So keep in mind that your tail is a weapon too." Then it was Po's turn. He could lift his own body weight. 300lbs.

"Wow, Po usually could only lift 290 lbs. Good job Po," Master Shifu congratulated as everyone clapped, but this concerned Vince.

"You should be able to lift more than that. Are you sure that's all you can do?" Vince asked.

"Yeah, I was peaking at 300 lbs. I could try to go 310 lbs," Po said. So he did but he couldn't lift it. "Nope, sorry. I just can't seem to lift it."

"What's wrong, Master Vince?" Leng asked.

"Usually, potion would always boast someone's strength. For example, you, Viper, and I. But with Po, it seems to have made no difference. I mean he can lift ten pounds more than he use to, but usually it would be twice that," Vince said wondering. Po shrugged.

"Maybe I'm just different," Po shrugged. Vince sighed. It still bothered him. As the group sat down to eat breakfast, everyone noticed that Po was barely eating.

"Well, the potion must have gotten rid of your appetite," Monkey observed.

"Really?! NOOOO! I want to enjoy all my food! Now I can only eat half of it," Po said clearly upset. The others groaned. After eating breakfast, Po stood up and yawned.

"Well, I'm going to rest for the day. Master Shifu, is it okay I take a break for while? I think that potion left me drowsy," Po said wearily. Shifu nodded. So Po want to bed and soon went to sleep.

The full moonlit night illuminated the ground and shown quite brightly in the night. Two pigs with their money bags at their side cautiously walked the dimly lit streets of the valley. They had a little baby in their hands as they hurried home. As they were about to cross a dark alley, a gang of wolf bandits jumped out at them.

"Well, well. It's time for us to get our day's pickings," The lead wolf said as he grabbed one of the pigs by the throat, "Give us your money!" The baby cried. Then they heard a low growl. They turned to dark corner that they just came out of to see two eyes glowing in the dark. Before the wolf could say anything, the figure launched at the wolf, throwing him far, far away. He looked at the two other wolves, grabbed them, and threw them as well. The two pigs could see that the thing that had saved them was a huge creature, taller than most people in all of China. He stood on all fours. He crawled to the whimpering frightened pigs. Their baby looked at the creature and cooed. The creature seemed to smile and rubbed its big furry head gently against the baby making it giggle and laugh. That's when they realized that the creature wasn't harmful. After comforting the baby, the creature jumped into the air and vanished. The pigs would later tell the entire village that a big white and black tiger had saved them.
