Kung Fu Panda 1: Tigress's POV

Memories

As we walked the four were talking but I didn't pay much attention till I heard my name.

"What?" I turned to them.

" You seem distracted" Viper said.

"Yeah you have that face again." Mantis agreed before Viper hit him in the head.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked him.

"He means you are making the face when you know someone but you're not sure" Crane verified.

"Do you know that panda?" Monkey asked and they all looked at me expectantly. I thought for a moment and remembered something.

Flashback

I was, about 4-5 years old, sitting on top of a tree when I heard someone climbing as well desperately. He was a panda. He was wearing burlap pants and had Jade eyes. It took him about one minute to realize I was there I was going to say something but he quickly covered my mouth and looked down. I too looked down and saw three goats calling for him.

"WHERE ARE YOU FATTY?!" One of them yelled. I quickly took off his hand and asked.

"Um excuse me who are you?" I asked.

"Shhh" He said covering my mouth once again. I guess the goats heard me and looked up. "QUICK RUN!" He told me. I quickly saw that those were some other bad people and we quickly climbed down from the other side the tree and ran with the goats right behinds us. For a panda he ran kind of fast and it took me a while to catch up to him until I finally lost him but the goats were still after me. Why were they were chasing me I had no idea. I was soon pulled aside someone holding my mouth to keep me from shouting. "Shhh" he said I noticed it was the same panda boy. Once he made sure the goats were gone he let go of me. "Sorry I did that for about the third time today but I had to." He said.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"Oh right were are my manners my name is..."

End of Flashback.

"Tigress!" Viper shouted.

"What?!" I said surprised.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"Yeah everything is great" I sighed and went to my training area. I started to train but maybe they are right. What if I do know that panda? He seems a little familiar. I decided to train to keep that of my mind. After a while I went to spar with Crane for a very short time before hitting one of the swinging clubs causing it to break and hitting the panda in the forehead. Shifu was standing next to him clearly not happy.

"Let's begin" I heard him say before we all jumped out of our areas. The panda froze in his spot before turning to Shifu. They soon walked towards the dummy that's when me the rest went over to them. I put my hands on hips and looked at him suspiciously.

"Wow. The Furious Five" He exclaimed. "You're so much bigger than your action figures. Except for you Mantis. You're about the same." He said looked at him.

"Go ahead, panda." Shifu began "Show us what you can do" He started to get nervous.

"Um are they gonna watch, or should I just wait till they get back to work or something." He asked nervously.

"Hit it" Shifu told him.

"Ok, yeah. I mean, I just ate. So I'm still digesting. So my kung fu might not as good as... later on" He mumbled.

"Just hit it" Shifu repeated.

"All right" He said and turned to the adversary. "What you got? You got nothing, 'cause I got it right here. You picking on my friends?" He gestured to us. Wait friends? We hardly even know him. "Get ready to feel the thunder." He said moving his feet in a crazy way. "I'm coming at you with crazy feet. I'm mean come on. I'm a blur. You've never seen bear style. You've only seen praying mantis. Oor Monkey style" He said making monkey sounds. "Or I could come at you snickety-snake."

"WOULD YOU HIT IT!" Shifu yelled getting frustrated making the panda stop his ridiculous dance.

"All right. All right." He said before giving it a small punch and looked over at us.

"Why don't you try again? A little harder" Shifu told him before the panda actually did hit it harder.

"How's that-?" He managed to say before it came back hitting him in the face causing a tooth to land in front of Shifu. Something told me I had to help him but Shifu raised his hand to stop us. I decided to listen to the other half of my head. I don't need to worry about that panda he doesn't deserve to be here. He landed in the Swinging Clubs first with a split before one of the clubs hit him sending him in the air before landing in the Jade Turtle Shell being tossed around.

"This will be easier than I thought" I heard Shifu say as I kept my eyes on the panda. He was soon going through Gauntlet of Wooden Warriors. He got hit multiple times until they stopped spinning and I realized one had hit him in the gut. After recovering he leaned on another which wasn't a great idea and I can tell he realized when it started all up again. He soon was dizzy and spun all the way up the tiny stairs into Field of Fiery Death and do I even have to say that he got burnt multiple times. He crawled to Shifu with a small patch of fur burning as I shook my head in disappointment. This will never work! How is HE! The Dragon Warrior! Even Mantis was able to hit the adversary when he first arrived!

"How did I do?" I heard him ask. I lifted my head to see.

"There is now a level zero" Shifu said turning off the small fire. A few hours later we were walking to barracks for it had gotten dark and the rest of the Five were talking.

"What about the way he went through all of training hall?" Monkey asked.

"There's no words" Mantis replied.

"No denying that" Crane agreed.

"I don't understand what was Master Oogway thinking?" Viper asked. "The poor guy's gonna get himself killed.

"He is so mighty" Crane said sarcastically "The Dragon Warrior fell out of the sky on a ball of fire."

"When he walks the very ground shakes" Mantis joked as they chuckled

"One would think that Master Oogway would choose someone who actually knew kung fu!" I said walking ahead of them.

"Yeah, or could at least touch his toes" Crane said.

"Or even see his toes" Monkey added and chuckled along with the five. As soon as I entered my room I turned of my candle and laid on my bed. That panda took everything I could finally prove myself to my father/master. Gah! I hate him! I soon heard voices talking I thought I was imagining things but I realized it was Crane and that panda! I walked over to my drawer and saw something I haven't seen in years. I couldn't see the picture in it because it was covered in dust. Although, after a few minutes I could hear creaking and I saw his shadow as he moved through the hall. I decided to leave that for another time. I soon opened my door to see him standing there.

"MASTER TIGRESS! I didn't mean to wake you" He tried apologizing "Just uh-"

"You don't belong here" I told him calmly.

"Yeah, of course. This is your room" He said trying to see past me.

"I mean," I said getting in his way "you don't belong in the Jade Palace. You're a disgrace for kung fu and if you have any respect for who we are and what we do you will be gone by morning." I said closing the doors.

"Big fan!" I heard him say. I rolled my eyes and laid in bed.
