A/N: Here's chapter 4! Enjoy! I don't own KFP or the Kaftar from Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011.
Chapter 4 - Deciding and going
At the kitchen, everyone has finished their dinner and Viper was washing the dishes.
"I wonder how the dinner's going," said Tai Lung.
"I'm sure it's going great," Shifu said with a smile.
"After all, it is Po and Tigress," Viper pointed out, "They get along with each other so well."
"Well, it looks like we're done with dinner. I'm going to meditate," Shifu said with a smile.
Shifu got out of his seat to go meditate, but before he left the room, Po and Tigress came rushing in, they were gasping for air. Shifu smiled widely and asked, "Oh, Po, how did the…"
"Oh, *gasp* it went *gasp* great! She accepted *gasp*my proposal!" Po said in between gasps.
"Really?! That's great!" Shifu declared as he smiled.
Viper giggled when she saw the smeared lipstick on Po's lips. Po looked at her and asked, "What?:
"Oh nothing," Viper giggled as she pointed her tail to his mouth, "You've got a little…something on your mouth."
Po in a mirror and saw the smeared lipstick on his mouth and he said, "Oh no!" Everyone else began laughing while Po blushed deeply. The panda grabbed a napkin and brushed it off.
"Is that better?!" Po shouted while blushing deeply.
"I liked it better when you had it on," Monkey chuckled.
Everyone laughed again and Po said, "Hey! It's a special kiss when you propose to your love and she accepts it!" Everyone was happy for Po and Tigress, they'd gotten engaged and they couldn't be happier.
"Shifu, we've gotten a message!" Po said.
"What? Wouldn't Zeng have let me know first?" Shifu asked in a wondered tone.
"The letter's for me, Master," said Tigress as she held the letter, "It's from New York City."
Everyone was shocked and Mantis shouted, "New York City?!"
"Yes," replied Tigress, "It was the most shocking letter I've ever read."
"May I see it?" Shifu asked as he held his hands out for the letter.
Tigress gave Shifu the letter, Viper, Mantis and Monkey looked to see the letter as well. After a minute, their eyes went wide and Shifu's fingers became limp and he dropped the letter like Tigress did.
"What is it?" Tai Lung asked.
"It's a letter from Tigress' father," said Po.
"WHAT?! Your father?" Crane asked Tigress in a shocked tone.
"Yes."
"And he wants Tigress to come to New York to take care of the new evil that's coming to terrorize the city. It also mentioned a werewolf," Shifu said.
"Didn't Tigress' mother mention a werewolf was the cause of their separation from their daughter?" Tai Lung asked while rubbing his head.
"Yes, she DID!" Po said as he remembered.
"It sounds like he wants to get back at the werewolf from doing that to him and his family," said Viper.
"So, is Tigress going?" Mantis asked in a wondered tone.
Shifu sighed and rubbed his eyes, he was still shocked from what Tigress and Po showed to him and the others.
"I'm not sure," he replied, "New York City's over the Pacific Ocean, and it's farther than any other place that a kung fu warrior of this Palace has traveled."
"We're always up for an adventure," Monkey declared as he smiled.
"I know, but we don't know much about this guy," Shifu said in an unsure tone.
"He's my father," said Tigress, "I need to see what I can do about that werewolf. If he hurt me and my family in the past and he's plotting something bigger, I say we need to check it out."
Shifu sighed again, "What I'm mainly concerned about is that he won't let you live here anymore." That froze everyone, after all, it is Tigress' real father, what will he do? After a minute or two of stillness Tigress said, "We can show him that I belong with you. We won't break apart the team."
"Yeah, but he's your dad," Viper said.
"I may be able to say that my dad understood that I belong here, and I'm sure Tigress' dad will also," said Po.
"You could be right about that," Crane said.
Shifu sighed once again, he wasn't sure about this.
"Why don't we all go?" Tai Lung suggested, "We can watch her back."
"Yeah! We can all go!" Viper agreed.
Shifu looked at them all, and he saw that they all wanted to go.
"I'm sure my dad will understand I brought some help," Tigress said as she looked at Shifu.
Shifu sighed again, he began thinking some more and then he finally, said, "Let's do it."
"All right! I'm gonna go pack!" Po said in an excited tone.
Po took off for his room in a flash, and Shifu said, "Master Tigress, I want you to know that Tai Lung is also coming with us."
"What? Why?!" Tigress asked, not wanting him to come.
"You haven't shown him much affection when he first came here," Shifu said as he raised an eyebrow, "You need to build up your relationship and get along with him."
"But Master…" Tigress started but was cut off by Shifu who said, "Master Tigress, I know you don't like this. But I'm still the boss over you, and I'm sending him with you to get along with him. And no back talking. Am I clear?"
Tigress sighed and said in a reluctant tone, "Yes Master Shifu, of course."
"Good," said Shifu, "I want everyone to go pack up. We're leaving tomorrow."
Shifu left them and then the others began to make their way out, Tigress didn't even say a word to Tai Lung.
"I'm gonna be with you too, Tigress," said the Kaftar in her mind.
"Go away!" demanded Tigress.
"I'm a haunting beast, Tigress. You know I am! You cannot escape me!"
"SHUT UP!" Tigress screamed.
The others weren't close enough to hear Tigress scream. She shuddered at the thought that the Kaftar's gonna talk to her through her mind on the way to the city and during their time in the city.
The next morning, our warriors are walking through the streets of the Valley. It was a hard night last night, everyone was excited and nervous about the trip. Everyone was dressed up for travel, they had their backpacks and they were properly dressed. Shifu is coming along on the trip as well, he had to see Tigress' father. The villagers could see that the warriors were going somewhere, but they didn't know where. Tigress is back in her usual clothing like always, as they walked they discussed the plan.
"So, we'll get on the plane at the airport, and then fly to Los Angeles, and then to New York City," Shifu said, refreshing his memory.
"That's the plan," Viper replied.
Po went up to his tiger and asked, "Tigress, are you sure about this?" Tigress turned to Po and said, "I'm positive, Po. I don't want to come alone. Especially without you." Po blushed when she said that, and then Mr. Ping came over.
"Here comes the goose," said Tai Lung.
"Oh, dear," Po murmured under his breath.
"Hiya warriors!" Mr. Ping cried.
"Hello Mr. Ping!" Viper greeted with a smile.
"Where're you going? On vacation?" Mr. Ping as he put his wings on his hips.
"No Dad, we're off to a place beyond Asia," Po said.
"What?" said Mr. Ping, a little surprised, "Really? To where?"
"We're going to New York City," replied Po.
"New York City?!" Mr. Ping cried, completely shocked, "Why're you going there?"
"We're going to meet my father," Tigress explained, "He sent us a letter last night about a new evil coming."
"Oh my!" Mr. Ping cried, "My little boy can't go to a far off city with strange people and dangerous things!"
"I gotta go, Dad," Po said, "I need to be there for Tigress."
"And besides, he loves adventure. He'll be back soon," Tai Lung assured the goose.
Mr. Ping sighed and said, "All right, just take care of him."
"We will," Viper said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Ping."
Po gave his dad a goodbye hug before they left.
A little while later, Po and the others came upon the house of Tigress' mother, and Monkey asked, "Why're we stopping here?"
"I have to tell my mother that my father's alive," said Tigress.
Tigress knocked on the door, and a minute later Tigress' mother came to the door, she gave her daughter a warm smile and said, "Ah Jai-Li, nice morning isn't it?"
"Yes it is," said Tigress.
"Are you off to somewhere?" Tigress' mother asked when she noticed she and her friends were packed for traveling.
"You're not gonna believe it, but my dad and your husband is alive," Tigress said with a smile.
Tigress' mother gasped when she heard that she then asked, "You're not joking are you?"
"Nope," Tigress said, "He sent us a letter last night."
"How?! How did he?!" Tigress' mother kept asking, shocked.
"I wish I knew," Tigress said, "But we're on our way to New York City."
"New York?! He's all the way over there?"
"Yep. And I'm gonna find out why he's there,"
"I wish I could go with you," said Tigress' mother as she put her hand on her daughter's shoulder, "But I've got things to do."
"I understand," Tigress said with a smirk, "But we've got to get to our flight."
Tigress gave her mother a hug and her mother did the same. Tigress then said, "I'm gonna be back soon. Don't worry."
"Okay, you be safe," Tigress' mother whispered into her ear.
Tigress nodded as she broke loose from the hug, then Shifu said, "Tigress, we've gotta go." Tigress understood and Po said, "Don't worry, she's in awesome hands." Tigress' mother knew that, she nodded as they began to leave. As they left, Tigress' mother had to go inside to relax before she passed out.
A/N: And we're off to the Big Apple! We'll see what'll happen next! Shifu does have a right to be concerned. Remember to leave a review! See ya next chapter!
