The Bao Gu Orphanage was hell on earth, Tigress always thought. Never in her life did she plan on going back there. She never wanted to see the hate filled eyes of her old caretakers or the horrible, dark enclosed rooms she was locked away in.

That's why it shocked her so much when Master Shifu decided to she needed to go pay the orphanage a visit. Instantly, she got mad and begged him not to make her. But the master insisted that 'it would be good for her.'

Po had automatically volunteered to come along. He wanted to be there for Tigress, especially after the many times she was there for him, and she miserably accepted.

The panda nudged her as they walked, the Bu Gu Orphanage in the distance.

He kept trying to sneak a glance at her, determined to read whatever she was thinking from her expression, but constantly finding it impossible.

Tigress wanted to smile at him, offer some form of comfort to assure she was alright, but her mouth refused to move upwards.

"Hey" Po squeezed his best friends paw. "It's going to be okay, Ti."

Tigress nodded a bit too quickly, as they approached the doors.

"You ready?" Po asked, looking up at the entrance.

Tigress met his gaze, with fierce and determination in her eyes, before nodding again.

"Yeah."

A/N : Sorry for saying hell. And sorry this one was kinda short. More chapters will be posted soon (:
