*The Dragon's Basin*

-Enter Po the Tiger

Po floated down to the ground, dazed. The Five and Shifu ran over to Po immediatly, whose knees buckled as he hit the ground. Tigress wrapped her arm around his back and supported him.

"Po?" she said trying to get the pand-er-tiger's attention. Everyone was in shock. This was so strange. How the heck does a panda turn into a tiger within seconds.(Remember plastic surgery does't exist yet!)

"Ugh..." Po moaned. Then he look up at Tigress and smiled, "Tigress this is great," he hugged her, shocking her and the others but what he said next shocked her even more, "You've been changed into a tiger..."

Gently pushing him away, she looked him in the eyes, "No...no I haven't. You've been changed. I've always been tiger and you're supposed to be panda..."

Po grinned at her sweetly, like a parent would to a child who didn't get something, "I think I'd remember if I was a tiger or not..."

"Master what could've caused this?" Viper asked.

"Hmmmmm...I'm willing to bet that who ever stole the Dragon's Basin is behind this. Though as why they would turn Po into a tiger beats me...Either way we must be prepared for an ambush." Shifu stated.

"Right Master..."

"But Master, will Po's style of kung fu still work? It was based on useing his...er weight...against his enemies, but now..." Tigress was right, being a tiger his style would not be very helpful.

"That's right. Which is why you will train him, Tigress. I suggest you start now. The rest of you, we must be prepared for the worst. Follow me." With that Shifu and the rest of the Five left. Most likely going to search for anything on the Dragon's Basin.

Po and Tigress were left alone.

"What were you all talking about? I can do kung fu just fine. It's you who needs to learn tiger style..."

Tigress gave an exasperated sigh, this would be a long day. "Po you've always been a panda and me a tiger not the other way around." he still wasn't convinced and Tigress had to think of a way to convince him.

Finally she though of something.

"Fine, then show me your run," Tigress said in a serious tone.

"Fine," Po said annoyed that she was acting this way. So he ran, but he didn't run like a tiger, on all fours. No, he ran on his hind legs.

"Wrong, tigers-like all other felines-run on all fours so they can reach their full potential of speed." She showed him and he felt like an idiot. She was so fast and graceful. He was just a clumsy tiger. But if he wasa tiger why didn't he know how to run like one.

"See?" she asked stopping in front of him. She looked up in his eyes and he looked at his feet.

"Right, but I can't go that fast," he looked up at her hopefully, "can I?"

"Yes you can," she pulled him down and told him crouch like she did.

"Now on my mark run." He waited for few moments before, "now!"
Both of the tiger took off full speed. The world actually blurred around Po. He never experienced before. He didn't feel exhasted like he usually did as well. He loved the feeling.

"Wooo-hoo! Why haven't I ever done this before?" By now they had run out of the training hall and into the woods-the same woods where Tigress trained by punching ironwood trees. The two weaved through the trees, enjoying these moments together.

"You were a panda you couldn't!" Tigress yelled back at him. Running back over to him. She noticed somthing.

"You know I never noticed how handsome you are," she said softly.

Po grinned and played with her, "What you thought I was ugly?"

Tigress blushed and stammered, "No...um...I-watch out!" the two narrowly dodged an ironwood tree.

The shock of almost running into the tree helped Po remember, "Tigress...your right...I am-er-was a panda."

The two stopped running. Tigress had never had so much fun before. She had run so fast that she was panting along with Po, though his was heavier.

Po looked up at her and smilled, "I guess we should start training, huh Master." He mock bowed at her which caused her to smile a bit.

Then she got into training mode.


"Is it done?" Tai Lung demanded. He was getting rather impatient.

"Yes, it is." Puck said floating around the cave.

Tai Lung grinned, "Perfect..." putting on a cloak that covered him head to toe he picked up the Dragon's Basin and headed to the cave entrance, Pucks chain in one hand, he pulled dragging the Dragon man with him. "Let's go see how the Master of Jade Palace are acting with out their precious Dragon Warrior around."

Puck, being well Puck, pretented to be an Igor and said, "Yes Master." and snickered to himself.
