Kung Fu Panda 1: Tigress's POV

A Friend Returns

Flashback.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"Oh right where are my manners my name is Po Ping. Friends call me Po" He said extending his hand. "Well that is if I had any friends." I looked at him with curiosity. Wasn't he afraid of me? "Um you shake it like this" He grabbed my paw and put it on his and shook it. "So what's your name?" he asked.

"Tigress" I said shyly "But I'm called Monster. Tigress the monster" I said sadly.

"Monster?" Po said confused. "Why would you be called that?"

"Because that's what I am" I told him.

"No you're not" He said shaking his head

"You don't know me" I pointed out.

"I know I may not know you or anything but no one is a monster." He said.

"Then I am a no one" I told him.

"Why do they call you monster?" He asked.

"Because look at me! I'm a tiger with claws and fangs" I said a little high as my claws came out.

"Well duh. You're a tiger not a bunny or a goose" He said casually. "You're suppose to have fangs and claws and may I add that you have the most beautiful eyes I've seen." He said.

"You mean you're not afraid of me?" I asked ignoring the last part.

"Of course not. In fact I'm actually more attracted than afraid" He said. I looked at him confused and shocked. He wasn't afraid of me. "I'm sorry to ask but would you like to be friends?" he asked.

"Um sure" I answered. From that day we were best friends until.. well you know.

End of Flashback.

I could hear Shifu talking and I felt him un paralyzing me all of a sudden. I gasped. "I thought we could stop him" I said before sitting up.

"He could have killed you" Shifu told us.

"Why didn't he?" Mantis asked.

"So you could back and strike fear into our hearts but it won't work" He said un paralyzing Viper.

"Uh. It might. I mean, a little" He mumbled nervously "I'm pretty scared." He added playing with his fingers.

"You can defeat him, panda!" Shifu told him.

"Ha, are you kidding? They can't?" He gestured towards us. "They're five masters! I'm just on me."

"But you will have the one thing no one else does." Shifu told him. Po looked at him surprised.

"You really believe I'm ready?" Po asked once when we were in the Hall of Heroes.

"You are.. Po" Shifu called him by his name for the first time in years. Shifu walked over to wear Master Oogway's staff was placed and picked it up walking over to the reflecting pool. He looked up at eh Dragon Scroll before twirling the staff making air push the petals. He moved the staff in a swift motion gathering all the petals making them float up until one landed on the scroll making it unbalanced and fall. Shifu quickly caught before it fell.

"Behold the Dragon Scroll" Shifu held it out. "It is yours"

"Wait." Po hesitated. "What happens when I read it?"

"No one knows but legend says you will be able to hear a butterfly's wing beat." Shifu said.

"Woah really? That's cool" He said with excitement.
