Tigress walked back to the palace, and up to the kitchen. Upon arrival everyone was already seated and waiting for the food to be ready.
"Ah, Tigress, that wasn't a very long trip, do you have my ingredients?" Master Shifu turned to Tigress who was standing in the dorrway. He was currently taking care of a big pot of soup, which needed to be completed.
"yes master, I did" She replied holding up the ingredients in her arms and walking over to him. She placed the ingredients on the counter, standing on her tiptoes to allow her arms to reach it. She then walked over and took her seat.
"So, how was your trip to the village?" asked Monkey, trying to get a conversation going.
"It was ok. I met another kid there, I think he just moved in. He was kind of an odd child. Couldn't go two feet without tripping over himself"
"hah, that's funny, whatever, we cant all be awsome like me" Mantis gloated, earning hating glares from all the other children.
The children stopped glaring as master Shifu placed a bowl of soup in front of all of them. "eat" he commanded. All the children followed their order and shut their mouths...For the moment.
Po was cooking with his dad. He was feeling kind of awkward because of how he made a fool of himself.
Mr. Ping closed up the shop so they could have their lunch break.
"come Po, we will go eat, and then, start cooking again"
Po sighed "dad?, is that all I'm ever going to do with my life?, cook and eat?"
Mr. Ping was slightly shocked, but replied "well, if you want to look at it that way, I guess so. But I dont see it as such a dull thing Po, life is like a bowl of noodle soup, the same thing over and over again, but if you add a few spices and other ingredients, you can make something that tastes delicious and is exciting to your senses. something different, yet still the same"
Po thought on this fr a second, and then smiled shortly "ok, thanks dad"
Po then remembered something "dad?, did you see that girl I was talking to earlier?, the one that wanted the ingredients?"
"Ah, yes I did Po, what about her?"
"I was wondering if you knew who she was"
"That, Po, was little Tigress. She is one of the children of Master Shifu and Grand Master Oogway up at the Jade Palace. They are the the greatest kung fu masters of all time, Master Oogway was the creator of the art. They are training five children, they call them the furious five, those five children are said that they are going to be the greatest masters in China when they grow to be masters. Though it's a little rare to find one of them in the village, they are always training. I've always thought that it was slightly cruel to train children so hard, but that's how all great masters are born, and without them we would be flooded with criminals, and there would be no peace in the Vally of Peace. So in a way I'm thankful"
"oh" Po was shocked, though not in a bad way, he just couldnt believe who he was talking to just a little while ago. He felt rather inferior and embarrassed. "Kung fu..." Po queered, liking the thought of being a great kung fu master.
