Fluttering Finger Mindslip
Leo was in the library reading through a scroll. Leo thought he should read the scrolls so he can learn something new. He told Shifu about it and the small red panda agreed. His stomach was growling and decided to go to the kitchen. When Leo got to the kitchen, he sees Po laying down with a crate of scrolls. Shifu was standing on the table as Viper, Monkey and Crane were having breakfast.
"Good morning." Leo said.
"Good morning, Leo." Viper greeted him. "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yes, I did Viper." Leo answers her, walking past Po to grab a plate of dumpling and pulling up a chair to sit next to Viper. He looks over at Po. "You were trying to take a shortcut, Po?"
"Yes." Po sighed as he sat up.
"Taking a shortcut is not a good idea." Leo said. "That's why I'm reading the scrolls in order."
"What scroll are you on right now?" Shifu asks him.
"Number twenty." Leo answers him. "I read the other nineteen scrolls without any distraction or skip any of them."
"Impressive." Shifu said, impressed.
"Thank you." Leo said. "I started reading scroll number twenty until I lost track of the time."
"Tigress and I found you sleeping in the library last night." Viper said. "It was a cute moment."
Leo gives out a small smiled before eating a dumpling. "So what are all of you doing today?" Leo asks them.
"Crane, Viper and I are going to do some sparring." Monkey said. "What about you, Leo?"
"I'm heading down to the valley to buy some groceries." Leo said.
Po was sitting in the Hall Of Heroes as the scrolls were on a table He skims by the other scrolls until he picks up a scroll. "This looks awesome." Po said with excitement. Before he can open it, Po looks over his shoulders to see Shifu wasn't around. The coast was clear and Po quickly ran to the end of the table and dumps all the scrolls onto the floor and opens the scroll before setting it down on the table.
"So that's how you block the fist of fury." Po said, reading the scroll. "You can do that with chopsticks?" He read through halfway of the scroll until something caught his eye. "The Fluttering Finger Mindslip." Po read. "If done correctly, it will erase the short-term memory of your enemy." Po raises his right paw. "Swirl to the left. Swirl to the right. Flutter the fingers in a twisted motion and..." Po said, following the instructions. He looks up and gasps in shocked.
Viper was looking at Po.
He waved his paw in front of the snake. "This can't be good." Po said, worried.
Viper blinks. "Oh, hey Po." Viper greeted him. "I came to tell you..." Viper was saying, trying to remember something. "Huh. I can't remember. Must not have been important." Viper turns around and slithers away.
"Whoa." Po said in amazement, looking at his paw.
"Po, it's your turn to sweep the barracks." Crane said, walking up to the Dragon Warrior.
Po quickly puts the scroll behind him.
"And this time don't wait for the wind." Crane said. "I coughed up dust for weeks-"
Po grin nervously and did the Fluttering Finger Mindslip on Crane.
Crane stops talking for a second. "What was I saying?"
"You were saying that you really wanted to sweep, even thought it's my turn, heh." Po lied. "But you know what? I'm going to let you do it, since you're a pal."
"Wow, that's really nice of you letting me sweep." Crane said with a confused look. He turns around and walks away.
"This really works." Po said, with excitement. He toss the scroll into the pile and walks away.
"Thank you." Leo said to Apple Cart Duck, handing him some yuan. "What's next on the list?" He takes out a piece of paper and the last thing on the list was almond cookies. "Monkey really should hide those cookies a lot more better from Po." Leo said. "The cookies should be in the square." He heads over to the square and found the almond cookies. Leo was out all morning buying the groceries.
After getting the groceries, Leo was walking by Mr. Ping's restaurant.
"Good morning, Master Leo." Mr. Ping greeted him.
"Good morning, Mr. Ping." Leo said to the goose. "You don't have to call me "Master Leo". You can just call me Leo."
"Fine." Mr. Ping said, setting up the tables.
Leo enters the restaurant. "Are you opening just now?" Leo asks him.
"Yep." Mr. Ping said as he walks over to another table. "I see that you got some groceries."
"Thanks." Leo said. "They're for the Jade Palace."
"I see." Mr. Ping said. "How is my son?"
"He's doing fine." Leo answers him. "Po is reading some scrolls right now. I just hope he doesn't take any shortcuts."
"This is so great." Po smiled, walking down the hall. He was avoiding chores all morning and he used the Fluttering Finger Mindslip on the Furious Five a lot all morning. "They can't blamed their beloved panda for anything." The Dragon Warrior enters the kitchen and sits down with The Furious Five. "Hi, everybody." Po greeted them as he sat down. He slides a plate of dumplings over to him and began to eat one.
His friends didn't say anything. They just stared at him. But they got into their kung fu stances all of a sudden.
"Who are you?" Tigress growls at Po.
"Huh?" Po asked confused.
Mantis lands on the edge of the table. "State your name and your business!" he shouted.
"Po? Panda?" Po asked, still confused.
"What are you doing in our barracks?" Monkey demanded.
"What are you..." Po wondered. "It's me, Po."
Viper wraps his left arm and started punching him in the face a couple times before slamming Po's face on the table and hitting him again in the face with her tail. "Take that, me Po!" Viper hisses at Po angrily.
"Ah." Po moans, rubbing his head as he sat up. "Viper!"
"Come on guys." Tigress said, cracking her knuckles. "Looks like this stranger wants to rumble."
"Wait, no!" Po yells in shocked.
"Intruder!" Tigress shouted as she and her friends were throwing plates at Po.
The Dragon Warrior quickly ran backwards a couple feet as he got hit in the face with a plate. "Hey, I'm Po!" Po shouted. "We're friends. I'm the Dragon Warrior."
"Don't be ridicules!" Monkey yelled, kicking Po in the face to send him flying backwards. "Oogway hasn't chosen a Dragon Warrior yet."
"And if he did, it would be one of us." Tigress said, walking up to him. "Not some flabby panda."
"Hey!" Po snapped. Po blocks Tigresses palm strike with a chair. "Yeah, well funny how the universe works that way." Po was able to block her attacks and send Tigress away from him while dodging an attack from Viper.
He lands on the table to block an attack and jump towards on of the beams. Po was about to land on the second beam, Monkey punches him in the stomach. The Dragon Warrior used that attack to swing behind Monkey for a black flop attack. Po lands on the floor and blocks another attack from Tigress. The Furious Five attacked him, one by one and Po was able to block them all.
Po quickly got off the chair and wraps Viper around. He quickly turns to left and caught Crane who flew at him.
"Kiah!" Mantis yelled as he did a flying side kick, but instead he hits the bottom of the chair. Po was able to catch Monkey and spun the chair around to duck from Tigress's punch. The Dragon Warrior sent flying in different parts of the kitchen. "Whoa, where did this guy come from?" Mantis wondered. "He got some serious skills."
"Mantis, it's me." Po said. "Po, Po, Po!" He blocks three attacks. "You know, funny, lovable, sharp dresser. Nothing? Ow!" Po shouted as Tigress punches him. He backs near the table. "Tigress, we're friends. You don't attack me."
"Then why does it feel so right?" Tigress growls at him.
"You usually want to attack me, but you hold back!" Po shouted. He notice that he was surrounded before looking back at Tigress. "Tigress, we're friends with Leo!"
"We're not friends with this Leo or you!" Tigress snarls at him.
"You are!" Po argues her. "Leo is your boyfriend and you're his girlfriend! He's a human!"
"That's impossible!" Tigress growls. "I don't have a boyfriend! I would never date this "human"! If this "Leo" ever came here, I hope death takes him!"
Po gasps in shocked.
"He can't take all of us at once!" Crane told his friends. "One.."
"Wait!" Po begged them.
"Two..."
"Don't!"
"Three!"
The Furious Five jumps at Po. Po quickly used the mindslip to erase their memories before jumping above to dodge their attacks and slams their heads with his ass. Po left the room silently. All five of the warriors were groaning.
"Hey." Monkey said to Tigress. "You with the face. Do you know who I am?"
"No idea." Tigress said to him. "Wait, could you be Monkey?"
"No, I am a monkey." Monkey said. "So my name couldn't be Monkey, right?"
"Oh my god!" Viper yelled in shocked, looking at her body. "Where are my legs?!"
"Calm down." Crane said, walking up to her. "I think you're a snake."
"Oh." Viper said. "Oh my god, I'm a snake!"
"I couldn't stand it with what kind of animal I am." Crane said. "I need a name with real panash."
"Oh." Mantis said, coming up with a name. "How about Bunny Cup Hat?"
Viper and Crane looks at each other.
"Are those real words?!" Mantis shouted.
Po takes a peek at in silently and left the barracks.
"Ah"! Po shouted in terror as he runs into the hall. "This is the worst thing I've ever done! Including Leo and Tigress's relationship!" He stops running. "Top five." Po began running again. "I've got to make them remember me and Leo or else I'm going to lose them forever!" He dives into the pile of scrolls and quickly began to search for the scroll. "Where did I put that scroll?" Po was tossing several scrolls. "No. Grocery list? No. Oh." Po unrolls the scroll. "Spicy broth noodle recipe. Focus, Po, focus!"
He continued searching. "No, no." Po said. "Where is it?"
Master Shifu was walking by and stops a scroll from rolling away and picks it up. "How is the studying coming along, panda?" Shifu asks Po, looking at the scroll before looking back at pile. "Have you learned anything new?"
Po pokes his head out of the pile and smiles, nervously. "About that." Po said, jumping out of the pile and walks toward the red panda. "It's possible, maybe..." Po was trying to say.
"Yes?" Shifu asks, turning his back.
"Sort of..."
"Yes?"
"Accidently, use the Fluttering Finger Mindslip a few dozen times on the Furious Five and they don't remember me or anything!" Po shouted.
"What?" Shifu asked in shocked, turning around to look at him.
"And I think I lost the scroll I learned it from." Po added.
"Do you know what this means? Shifu asks Po angrily. "Po-" But he didn't get to say another as Po did the mindslip on him by accident.
"Gah!" Po yelled in shocked. Shifu was staring at him. "I'm so sorry. It was all reflex.
Shifu drops his staff and he began to move.
"Hey, Shifu." Po smiled nervously. "So to sum up, I've just told you that I erased the minds of the Furious Five with the Fluttering Finger Mindslip that I learn from a scroll that I lost."
"What?" Shifu asked angrily.
"Then you punish me and I learned a valuable lesson." Po lied.
"I... punish you?" Shifu asked confused, picking up his staff.
"Yes." Po answered. "Very severely. I hated it. A lot. Wow, you're some master." He bows to Shifu.
Shifu just looked at him.
"Any who, here we are." Po said. "Fixing the problem. Without anger."
"Hm." Shifu said. "There must be an antidote. We have to search the Cave Of Mysteries."
"The Cave Of Mysteries?" Po asked excitedly. "That's sounds awesome!"
Shifu looks at him with a serious look on his face.
"And serious." Po muttered. "Super, super, serious."
"I should get going, Mr. Ping." Leo said to the goose. "And thank you for the lunch. It was good." He spent nearly an hour at the restaurant. Most of the kids were curious about Leo. A few of the parents were slowly beginning to trust him. Leo left the restaurant with the groceries. "I should get back to the palace now." Leo said.
"What is it with you people?" Taotie asks the Furious Five. "You don't remember me?" Taotie and his son was standing in the hall with the Furious Five. "How do you not remember me?"
"Seriously, how?" Bian asks them. "I need to forget him too."
"Wait." Viper said. "If you expected us to know who you are..." Viper said looking at her friends before looking back at Taotie. "You must know who we are. It's a good thing we bumped into you."
"Yes it is." Taotie said, beginning to trick them. "It is a good thing because I am Taotie. Your Kung Fu Master."
"Master Taotie." the five warriors said, bowing their heads to their "master".
"Heh heh." Taotie chuckled. He points at Viper. "You. You're Noodles." He looks at Monkey. "You're Doodie." Then Mantis. "Little Britches." Then Tigress. "Whiskers Kitty-poo." Then Crane. "And... er… you're El Storko."
"Loser." Biao faked cough.
"We have so many questions master." Crane said.
"Tell us who we are." Tigress said. "Where do we come from?"
"Oh." Taotie said nervously, trying to make up a story. "Well, my students. You have been my pupils for as far back as anyone can remember. I trained you in my special kung fu; using my incredible machines. Everyone in the valley was impressed. They called me a brilliant genius."
"Isn't this supposed to be us?" Manis interrupted.
"Right, sorry." Taotie apologized.
"But then, at the peak of my glory, there arose a terrible menace." Taotie continued. "A dark lord of evil known as Shifu's… an idiot. Yeah, Shifu's-An-Idiot. And his nefarious confederate, Po-Chews-With-His-Mouth-Open. And there is one more person with them."
"Who?" Tigress asked.
"Leo's... a bastard." Taotie said.
"Even though we defeated them at every turn, those three keep coming back." Taotie said. "The last time we fought those guys, I saved your lives. By the way, you should be really nice to me. Also there was cake with giant eyes, or whatever. The end."
"I think I remember that cake!" Mantis smiled.
"Anyway, point being, you guys just do whatever I say." Taotie said to them.
Shifu ran into the hall, several feet behind the Furious Five. "Taotie." Shifu said.
"Get him!" Taotie ordered them.
The Furious Five turns around and jumps toward their "enemy". They pinned Shifu down to the floor.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Shifu yelled.
"Save your breath, Shifu's-An-Idiot!" Tigress growled.
Taotie walks up to them. "So, Shifu's-An-Idiot. We meet at last again." He said, seeing the Furious Five staring at him. "What are you waiting for? Start punching him and stuff." Taotie walks away from them. "Whiskers Kitty-poo, attack!"
"Wait!" Shifu shouted. "I don't want to hurt you."
Tigress picks him and turns around. "I wouldn't worry about that, Shifu's-An-Idiot!" Tigress growls at him. She tosses Shifu in the air and did a spinning side kick.
Shifu was sent flying into one of the pillars. "Gah!" Shifu grunted, sliding down onto the floor. He opens his eyes and jumps high into the air to dodge Tigress's attack and landed several feet away from her. "Listen to me!" Shifu exclaims. "I don't know what he told you, but I am not your enemy."
"Preposterous!" Taotie argued. "If he's not your enemy, then why would you be attacking him?"
"Good point!" Monkey said, jumping over Mantis. Shifu dodges a couple attacks from Monkey and jumps over him, but Monkey punches him in the chest.
"Noodles, hit him low!" Crane shouted.
Viper slithers fast and jumps into air, hitting Shifu with her tail. Crane flew towards him.
"Ha ha ha!" Crane yelled, delivering several kicks at Shifu.
"Nice move, El Storko!" Viper shouted.
"Oof!" Shifu grunted, hitting the floor. "Heh heh." Shifu chuckled. "El Storko. That's actually pretty funny." The Furious Five landed in front of him.
Leo made it to the ceremony grounds where he saw Zeng flying towards in a panic. "Zeng?" Leo asked him as the goose lands in front of him. "What's wrong?"
"It's Master Shifu!" Zeng exclaims. "The Furious Five is there and they think Shifu is their enemy because of Taotie!"
"What?!" Leo shouted. He drops the groceries and ran towards the palace. As Leo got to the Jade Palace, he sees, Shifu facing the Furious Five as Taotie was looking at Po. Po was holding a gray pot. "Shifu, what's going on?!" Leo yelled.
"They don't know who they are." Shifu answered.
"Yes we do." Tigress snaps at him. "We're the Furious Five! Whiskers Kitty-poo!"
"Noodles!"
"Little Britches!"
"Doodie!"
"And El Storko!"
"And you are our arch nemesis's, Shifu's-An-Idiot-, Po-Chews-With-His-Mouth-Open and Leo's-A-Bastard!" Tigress growls at them.
"What?!" Leo gasps in shocked. Why would Tigress say that?
"Just give them the remedy!" Shifu shouted to Po. "Get the clay on their heads!"
"Furious Five, get that panda!" Taotie ordered.
"Yes, Master Taotie!" Tigress exclaims. She jumps toward Po.
Leo quickly ran to Po much faster than Tigress and blocks her kick with her left arm. He kicks Tigress away and the tiger jumps over him to get Po. The panda threw the pot and ran as the pot lands on her head. But the clay quickly shattered.
"Are you okay?" Leo asks Tigress, walking up to her. Tigress answered him by slashing him across the face. "Grah!" Leo yelled, putting his hand on his face in pain as he kneeled on the floor. He removed his hand from his face and notice the blood. "Gr." Leo growled, looking up at Tigress.
"Who or what are you?" Tigress snarls at him. "You and this intruder should not be here."
"Tigress, I'm Leo." Leo said, standing up. "You know I'm a human. I'm your boyfriend."
"Impossible." Tigress snarls at him. "You're not my boyfriend and you never will be!" She began to attack to Leo.
Leo was blocking her punches and her kicks. He leans backward to dodge a swipe and kicks her in the jaw before doing a front kick. Leo jumps towards her to deliver a punch, but the tiger rolls backwards as his fist cracks the floor.
"You and I are different!" Tigress shouted. "What woman would ever love you?!" Tigress lunges at him with a kick but Leo caught it with his hand.
"What's gotten into Tigress?" Leo thought. "Why is she saying that way? What the hell did you do, Po?" "Ha!" Leo shouted, throwing a punch at her.
Tigress ducks and spin around to sweep Leo off his feet.
Leo jumps in the air to dodge the sweep and notice the clay on the floor. "The clay must've brought half of her memories." Leo thought. "Half of her memories are there. This call for a desperate measure. Once the opening reveal itself, I'll have to take it!" He lands on his feet and threw in a couple of punches. Leo blocks Tigress swipe and found an opening. "Ha!" Leo yelled as he was going to deliver front kick, followed by a punch. But Tigress pushes his kick away and kicks him in the chest to send him flying into a pillar.
"Gah!" Leo grunted in pain. He saw Tigress flying towards him. Leo tried to do a palm strike, but Tigress caught his strike with her free claw and delivered hew palm strike to Leo's chest and his stomach. "Argh!" Leo shouted.
Tigress leans in, their noses barely touching as they lock eyes. "I'm impressed you're a skill warrior." Tigress said.
"And you know why I have to do this." Leo said, making Tigress to look at him with a confused look. He leans in and kiss Tigress on the lips. It was a very passionate kiss as fireworks were going off in their heads.
Tigress was stun and shocked. She tried to pull away, but Leo wraps his right arm around her back tightly. The more she tried to move away, the more pressure Leo can feel from Tigress's palm pressed hard against his stomach. He didn't let go of her arm. Tigress felt like she was on fire.
Leo grazed his tongue across her teeth. Tigress couldn't resist as gave she gave in to her mouth, allowing him to enter. Their tongues danced in each other's mouths. He lets go of her arm as she wraps her arms around his back. Needing air, Leo broke the kiss.
"Leo?" Tigress asked, looking at Leo.
"Welcome back." Leo grinned.
"Po." Monkey said angrily, walking up Po and Shifu. "You ate my dumpling."
"You erased my memory." Viper hisses angrily, slithering up to them. "Not nice."
"And it's your turn to sweep." Crane added walking up behind Po.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Po cheered. "Sorry but yes!"
Mantis hops over to Taotie and Bian Zao. "You're not our master!" Mantis yelled, pointing at them.
"You're..." Tigress said, walking up to them. "You." Tigress growled in anger.
"Told you they recognized me." Taotie said to his son. The two of them notice Shifu, Po and The Furious Five surrounded them, getting into their kung fu stances. Before anyone made a move, Leo quickly jumps over Crane and slams into Taotie and his son.
"Ow!" Taotie shouted, sliding onto the floor.
Bian Zao quickly stands up and runs out of the hall with his father behind him.
"Hurry son, faster!" Taotie shouted as they run halfway down the stairs to their Flying Bamboo Bird. "Come on! Move it!"
Bian Zao started pedaling.
"Faster!" Taotie shouted. He grabs the wheel as they takes off.
Everyone ran outside of the palace as they watch them.
"You may have stop me now, but I'll be back!" Taotie called. "I will destroy Kung Fu forever! Ha ha ha ha! And I'm not paying that bill!"
"Gr." Leo growled, feeling the blood.
Later on that night, Po, Shifu, The Furious Five and Leo were in kitchen, sitting down at the table. Po was sitting across from them. Shifu was at the end of the table, sitting between Viper and Monkey while Crane stood next Monkey. Mantis was on the table in front of Tigress. Leo was sitting next to Tigress, looking at Po with an angry look on his face.
"And then Crane came in and told me to sweep the barracks and I mindslip him." Po said, explaining. "Then I just got into the groove. I mean, everything was just so easy."
They didn't say anything as they stared at him.
"But I was being lazy." Po said, feeling ashamed as looks down at the table. "I took shortcuts and I almost lost you all." He looks back up at them. "But I'm done with that now. Forever."
"How could we be sure that you won't do the mindslip ever again?" Mantis asks him.
"Oh." Po said. "I got a shortcut for that." Po places his paw in front of his face and did the mindslip. After that he didn't move.
"How can we tell if it work?" Crane asked. They all looked at Po.
Po blinks a couple of times. "Oh my gosh!" Po smiled. "The Furious Five!"
They were surprised.
"I'm your biggest fan!" Po said with excitement, jumping up and down before walking close to Leo. Leo backs away from him. "Can I have your autographs? Will you sign my belly?"
"It worked." Everyone said.
"And who's this?" Po asked, looking at Leo.
"We may need that clay again." Shifu said to Monkey.
"On it." Monkey said, standing up and leaving the room. He came back with the pot and place the clay on Po's head. The clay cracked and Po got his memories back.
"I think I went too far with my memories." Po said.
"You did." Leo said as the panda walks back to his chair.
"How come Tigress got the other half of her memories back?" Mantis wondered.
"It may have to do with Leo." Shifu answered, looking at Leo.
Tigress turns around to look at her boyfriend. She could see the scratch that she left on his face.
"It was a desperate move that I have to make." Leo said. "I had to make Tigress remember by kissing her. Even if I had to deepen the kiss to bring her memories back. But I think the reason why Tigress didn't get her other half is because Tigress is in a relationship with me. And when Tigress got the first half of her memories back, she remembered the life she had with the others before Po and I came here."
"You are correct, Leo." Shifu said. "When you and Po came here, our lives became different."
"I'm just glad that you're memories are back." Leo said. "If you excuse me." Leo left the room.
Leo heads to the bathroom. He filled the barrel with hot water and soap. Leo removes his shirt and throws it on the floor. He was going to take his pants off until Leo caught his reflection in the water. Leo slowly walks to the barrel.
Tigress's scratch can be seen on his right cheek. It was still hurting from this afternoon. The bleeding did stop after washing it from the afternoon. He thought what happened this afternoon. "You're not my boyfriend and you never will be! What woman would ever love you?!" Her words echoed in his mind as he removed his pants and boxers.
Leo steps into the barrel and sits down. "Damn." Leo thought. "I'm just glad that we didn't break up. No matter what happens, Tigress and I will be together, forever."
I bet you guys weren't expecting Tigress only got half of her memories back when Po put the clay on her head. Just wanted to spice things up a bit. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and don't forget to leave a review!
