Later on, Po made dinner for us while telling stories. I stayed distant away from Tigress because of three good reasons of mine. First off, I don't know if she would get to know me, second, Is she like jealous of me and Po or something?, and third, I don't know if she would warm up to me. That's just it. The others were interested in Po's story. I stayed quiet while he told the story. I think his story is interesting me.
Then Po served the others the soup he made. It does look good to me. It smells good as well. The others liked it. I must say, he's a great chef. Po then said that we should try his dad's secret ingredient soup. Only he knows that.
The rest of the Furious Five gave him compliments on his cooking. I smiled at him. Then Crane said, "Now we should focus on Jade, if what she said is true on how she got here, it was a portal opening up." This caught Po by surprise.
He said, "Wait a portal opening up? The only thing that I know is that one of us has to help her mostly." Monkey asked, "What are you talking about?" Po then said, "It's the mystery of the five human kung fu warriors. They had two portals, one for entering and the other for leaving. One of them was starting to grow old, without him, the others grew apart."
The Furious Five then made faces as if they remembered it. Crane then said, "It won't be easy, but one of us has to help her and do it." I then said before I had my head down, "Or I may never get home."
Monkey then said to Tigress that she has to try the soup Po made. I saw that she had tofu on her plate. I didn't dare to look at her. Not at all. She then said, "It is said that the Dragon Warrior can survive for months at a time on nothing but the dew of a single gingko leaf and the energy of the universe." She then put the tofu in her mouth. I don't believe that. I looked at Viper and she said, "It would be true Jade, you have to believe that." I looked at Po to see what he would think.
Po then said, "I guess my body doesn't know it's the Dragon Warrior yet. I'm gonna need a lot more than dew. And, uh, universe juice." I rolled my eyes in amusement. I don't know what he would need. It has to be more than dew and energy of the universe. He really does need more than those two.
Then he slurped down his soup leaving a noodle stuck on his upper lip. This is too funny. To me and the others. They teased Po with the Master Shifu talk. I smiled at this. Then I got my eyes wide. Shifu was right behind Po. I tried to get his attention. The others noticed what I am doing and Monkey whispered to Po.
Po didn't notice it till now. He got startled. I noticed he stuck two bowls onto his chest. I smirked and tried not to laugh. I kept my cool. Shifu then said, "You think this is funny?! Tai Lung has escaped from prison and you're acting like children!" I got my eyes wide when he said that Tai Lung escaped. Shifu continued, "He is coming for the Dragon Scroll, and you are the only one who can stop him!" Po made a look on uncertain on his face before the bowls fell off of his chest.
Then Shifu turned to me and said, "You have to help Po Jade, I believe that you can stop him with his help." I got my eyes wide in shock. Stop Tai Lung?! I tried to say something, "Master Shifu with all due respect, I've never stopped an enemy before. Sure I've taken down opponents in my kung fu tournaments, but not an enemy before."
Viper and Monkey gave me smiles of encouragement while Crane said, "Please Jade, this could be your first time to take down an enemy." Viper said, "You can do this Jade, I know you can." I felt uncertain though.
Po laughed before he felt scared when he saw that look on Master Shifu's face, "And here I am saying you got no sense of humor. I'm gonna... stop Tai Lung...What, you're serious? And I have to... uh... Master Oogway will stop him! He did it before, he'll do it again."
That occurred to me and I asked Shifu, "Why can't Oogway do it again like he did before?" Shifu answered before turning sad, "Oogway cannot! Not anymore." The Furious Five and I looked at him in shock.
I realized what happened and asked, "You mean…" Shifu answered me, "Yes Jade. Our only hope is the dragon warrior."
Tigress asked Shifu, "The panda?" Shifu answered her angrily, "Yes the panda!" Tigress then said while she pushes the chair back and stand up, "Master, please! Let us stop Tai Lung, this is what you've trained us for!"
I got angry and I've had enough of what Tigress said about Po so I said, "No Tigress, YOU'RE WRONG!" Viper, Crane, Monkey and Mantis looked surprised when I said that. Tigress looked at me shocked and I continued, "You may think that it's your destiny to stop him, but that's not what Oogway wanted. He would want us to believe and listen. He wanted us to listen to his choices."
Shifu said, "Jade, you are absolutely right." I looked at him and asked, "I am?" Shifu nodded his head while Tigress asked him, "You agree with Jade on what she said Master?"
Shifu answered her, "Yes! It is not your destiny to defeat Tai Lung. It is his!" Then I noticed that Po is not with us. Shifu and I asked together, "Where'd he go?" I then said, "That's weird, he was here a minute ago."
Shifu then said that he'll go talk to him. I then went outside. I don't know what I should do.
