Author's note:
Hey, so here's the next chapter! Hope you guys like it! Oh and guess what, today I went to this library,and while I was printing, soemone stole my USB...just what I needed.
Tigress got to the orphanage just in time for the soup. She was thinking about the warriors, they seemed ok. But the panda...he was...different. Mr. Ping served her some soup and sat beside her. She always sat alone in a table by the corner.
"How was your day Tigress?" He asked her. She took a spoon and began to devour the soup.
"Pretty good, your soup always makes my day" she gave him a small smile and continued eating. After a few minutes of discussing what she was planning to do after she got out of the orphanage and with the conclusion that she was doomed,Mr. Ping had to go. She said good bye and then went to her room to read some kung fu scrolls. She always saved her money to buy new ones, to help her improve. Even though she was reading the scrolls, her mind kept going back to the applecart events, to those warriors...to that panda.
with the others...
"what took you guys so long?" Their master asked. He was a red panda name Shifu.
"Well,the bandits were already defeated by someone else" viper answered.
"Yeah, and she totally knew kung fu!" Po exclaimed.
"And she was really cool and pretty, i uh, i mean agile and stuff" Po stuttered. Mantis only chuckled.
"Yeah and Po has a crush on her!"
"Do not!" Mantis and Po started arguing like children, Shifu rolled his eyes and turned to Crane and Viper, who were the ones who took things seriously.
"So who is she, where did she train?" Shifu asked them.
"Her name is Tigress, and she told us that she trained it herself" shifu seemed to ponder about it,
"Who are her parents?"
"She lives in an orphanage, she is around our age, and I don't think she gets out much seeing that we haven't encounter her before" Viper mentioned. Shifu nodded,
"Well, it couldn't hurt to get to know her better" Shifu said,starting to go back inside the Jade Palace.
"Am not!"
"Yes you do!"
"Nu-huh!"
"Po! Mantis! Stop that right now! Remember, tomorrow we are having auditions to be part of the team, so please behave" Shifu ordered tiredly. Po widen his eyes,
"Wait,can Tigress try out?!"
"If she wants to, she could" Shifu answered, Po smiled. He would tell her...of course he would have to go find the orphanage first, but that wouldn't be a problem,his dad always goes to an orphanage called Bau Gau, so maybe Tigress is in that one.
He was daydreaming about the tiger being part of the team...it would be awesome!
The next day...
Tigress woke up and rubbed her eyes, ready to follow her usual routine. Eat, train, eat, train, sleep. She took a quick bath and dressed up, then she hurried to the cafeteria, where breakfast was starting to be served.
She finally got to the small place and lined up, to her surprise the small kids had already woken up. The caretakers served her less food than they did to others, Tigress noticed.
"Hey, can I get more?" Tigress demanded. The caretakers grumbled,
"Now don't be selfish, these kids need it more than you do" Tigress sighed and went to eat her breakfast on the roof of the orphanage. She liked it up there, it was calm and silent. She started eating but she finished her meal in less than a minute since it was not a lot. She frowned and laid on the roof, looking at the sky.
She wanted to get out of this orphanage, even if she didn't know what to do after. She just wanted a place where people didn't hated her...where she could fit in.
With Po...
The gong sounded and all of them woke up. Po yawned and looked at his master.
"Today you will not be training but observing the people audition for a place in your team" they all groaned because they knew it was going to be boring. Po realized that he still needed to tell Tigress and convince her to go audition.
"I will meet you outside in 10 minutes, eveything is already set up so you will just take a seat" Shigh announced as he walked out of the barracks. Po started to head out to the village until a snake stopped him,
"Where are you going?" She asked him.
"To find her, she could be part of the team!" He said excitedly as he got out of the snake's grip and sprinted towards his dad's shop. Mantis snickered, probably suspecting another motive.
"Hey dad" Mr. Ping smiled and gave his son a hug.
Hello Po! What can I help you with?"
"I was wondering, where is the orphanage you always go to?"
"Tha Bau Gau orphanage? Its really close, you just need to walk a little bit outside the village, its near the place where you bought the wood for your action figures" Po smiled and nodded, he was about to go when his dad called him back,
"Why do you ask? "
"There's this girl and-"
"Oh! My son has finally met someone! Who is it?!" Mr. Ping asked, patting Po on his back and making the panda blush.
"No dad...she is good at kung fu and since today there are this auditions I thought maybe she could try out" po explained.
"Well, on the way there, you should tell Tigress too, she is a tiger and she loves kung fu more than anything. She is an orphan too" Po widen his eyes,
"Wait, you have met her before!?"
"Of course, she is such a nice person...tough past though. People do not like at the orphanage, ah, poor kid" Mr Ping said sadly.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" The goose laughed.
"You never asked...are you sure this is just because of the kung fu thing and no other motive?" Po blushed,
"Pffft, of course not...Bye dad!" He ran out the door and to the orphanage. He was panting by the time he got there, just as he was about to enter through the big, cement opening, some guys about his age stepped in front of him.
"Whatcha doing here fatty?" The leopard, who seemed as the leader, said mockingly.
"I'm searching for someone" he responded vaguely, trying to find a way around.
"Wrong place panda" the leopard was about to send a punch to his jaw, when someone else knocked him down.
With Tigress...
she was laying on the roof when she heard a familiar voice.
"It can't be" she muttered, she stood up and gazed below her... everything was the same as usual except for the fact that Xiang and his gang where about to hit someone. She realized it was that panda. Without thinking she jumped off the roof and knocked the leopard down.
(General P.O.V)
"Po?" She said, no one has ever visit her...wait, Po was not here to see her, that was imposible. The gang glared at Tigress as they dragged Xiang out of there.
"Hey Ti!" She raised her eyebrows,
"Right, can I call you Ti?" Po asked shyly. Tigress chuckled.
"Sure. Do you want me to lead you to where tha caretakers are? We don't want to get you in any more trouble" po laughed.
"Right...so unlucky of you to have to live with those jerks" Tigress shrugged.
"Oh, but I didn't came to talk to the caretakers" tigress shoot him a confused look,
"I came here to talk to you" tigress crossed her arms and smiled.
"What about?" she said, taking a seat on a bench near them.
"Well,I notice your kung fu is AWESOME, and there are this auditions to be part of the team, so maybe you'd like to participate? " tigress smiled. This was her opportunity, she could do something she loved and get out of the orphanage!
"That sounds compelling, when is it?" Po was grinning that she took up on his offer.
"Today!"
"Today? But there is no time and-"
He grabbed her hand and began running towards the jade palace with Tigress,
"I'm sure they will make an exception, besides, I AM the Dragon Warrior" po said smugly. Tigress rolled her eyes and continued jogging by his side.
"Oh, of course" she answered sarcastically.
They got to the front doors of the Jade Palace, Tigress took a deep breath as Po opened them, she had one chance at this. She couldn't mess it up.
Well...is Tigress going to get in? and what will the others think of her? You'll see on the next chapter!
-Peace out
