Secrets

Chapter 9 –Gabs & embarrassing moments

"You're my what!" Po screeched, now getting up. Everyone was as shocked as he was. It was then Master Shifu entered the room.

"Master Shifu," Po said, "Did you know that Tigress was my god mother?"

"You told him!" Shifu shouted at Tigress," Are you out of your damn mind, you know what hold Ping has on us!"

"Po deserves to know the truth, Shifu." Tigress replied. Her anger started to burn her very soul.

"Look, what the hell is going on here and why are you referring to my father as some sort of villain," Po said, although inside, he always knew what his father was keeping from him. Who could ever forget.

"Oh will you all just shut up!" everyone realised that CJ was watching from the doorway, "Can't we all just go to sleep and then sort it out in the morning. I am sick and tired of so many dumb arguments."

"I agree with CJ, we will discuss this in the morning when everyone is rested..." Shifu turned his head to Tigress,"...and rational!"

With that, everyone headed for their dorm rooms.

Po walked up to Tigress and asked, "What was my mother like?"

"What?" Tigress replied in surprise.

"What was she like?" Po repeated with curiosity, hoping to fill in the empty space in his soul and recover his lost memories of his past, although he didn't need to...he already remembered but kept it a secret for so many years from his father and everybody else. He just wanted somebody to have the guts to tell him. Tigress did and he was thankful for that, but what he wanted now was his father to tell him. Inside, Po knew that was never ever going to happen but he never lost faith.

"Well she was very funny. When ever something weird or wacky happened she would make sure everybody knew about it. Once, she even painted it on the moon!"

"Wicked!"

TIGRESS' THOUGHTS

Oh my God, I knew he remembered! He didn't react badly when I said 'she even painted it on the moon'. No simple mortal can ever reach the moon. He remembers what he is, what our family is. But why doesn't he say he remembers...

"Um, Tigress," Po said quietly.

"Yes Po," Tigress answered.

" Is it true that when Lung was one years old, you waxed a pink skirt on him?" Po asked.

The guys heard him and immediately spun round in shock. A blanket of silence fell upon the hallway. Even Mia, Kitty, Tai Lung and poor Lung poked their heads their doors. Lung was mouthing the word 'no' to her. Tigress couldn't help but smile,

"It was more like a tutu than a skirt,"

Everyone immediately broke into laughter and rolled around on the floor. Even Shifu couldn't help but chuckle. Lung just blushed with embarrassment, turned to Shifu and said,

" Well it was better than what she did to you...Princess Shifu," Lung teased. Hearing these words Shifu, all of a sudden, stopped laughing and answered,

"I don't know what you're talking about,"

"Oh yes, I remember now, my funniest prank ever," Tigress said, putting her arm around Po.

"Don't do this Tigress," Master Shifu said sternly but Tigress just carried on.

"Well, first I got him drunk on vodka. Then, I waxed a pink dress on him, put on a little make up and what do you know? He's a pink princess!"

The students' laughs only became louder.

"I need a strong drink," sighed Shifu, leaving for his own dorm room where he hides the vodka- his everlasting love.

Master Shifu entered his room. He looked around. He could sense someone's presence. A cold breeze filled the space in his dorm room. He shivered. His bed was in the top right hand corner of the room. It was up against the corner. It was then he noticed the top left hand corner was darker than the other corners. He thought nothing of it. He kneeled down next to his bed and took a dark, brown bottle from underneath. He opened the cork. It gave out a loud 'pop' sound. He took a small sip.

"That hit the spot," he whispered, smelling the rich aroma which came from the bottle. It was vodka.

"Oh Shifu," a female voice echoed throughout the room. Shifu dropped his bottle causing his bottle to erupt into tiny fragments which belly flopped into the sparkling pool of vodka, "It's time."

A woman in a plain black hooded cloak emerged from the dark corner. You couldn't see her facial features under her hood, only her one, long, brown curl, resting on her right shoulder and her emerald green eyes. She wore flat, golden shoes with small stars cut out of them.

"Gabs?" Shifu gasped in disbelief, "No, I won't let you train her and take her away from kung fu,"

"Shifu," Gabs said sternly, "Let me tell you something, you can take the girl out of the wood, but you cannot take the wood out of the girl."

Shifu gave off a smile of relief, but his smile dropped like a bomb-shell when Gabs said, "But just in case you do interfere, I brought my lovely Aunty Eva along."

A Spanish tiger emerged from same black space. She wore sleeveless scarlet dress which stopped at her knees. Her dress had a small split on her left side. She rested her left paw on her left hip and leaned to her right.

"Hello Uncle Shifu," She whispered in a Spanish accent. Shifu gave her a nervous laughed and waved. He was powerless against Eva. She was the only person who could beat him at a fair match of kung fu.

"Tai-il will be here by tomorrow afternoon. We will be outside the dorm rooms just as the gong rings." Eva said. With that, Eva mysteriously evaporated into autumn leaves and Gabs into a blue mist. They went through the black space in the dark corner. Suddenly, the dark corner turned a little lighter. Shifu just sighed and searched for more vodka.

After the gong rang, the students greeted their master, eager to know the truth. They were definitely not expecting things to get even more complicated. They did not even know thing could possibly get more complicated than they already were. They were about to be proven wrong. They had noticed two people behind Shifu. One of them was a figure in a black, hooded, cloak. It had a grey strip along the bottom. Behind her was a tigress, she had a little more exquisite markings than most tigers and had no beard. It was a Spanish tigress. She wore sleeveless scarlet dress which stopped at her knees. Her dress had a small split on her left side. She rested her left paw on her left hip and leaned to her right. Tigress and Lung smiled lovingly and said in unison,

"Hi Mum,"

"Wait, if you're my niece then you two are my..." Shifu managed to say before fainting.
