Hey loyal readers! I'm taking a break from my story From Another World as I've lost the inspiration for it. But I will continue it when inspiration strikes me again! Don't worry! Anyway, on Saturday 19th March, I saw Kung Fu Panda 3, and let me tell you. It. Was. So. AWESOME! Much better than the first two! So I got an idea! I heard that Dreamworks are possibly thinking about making a FOURTH KFP film, but it's not set in stone. So this story is a KFP fic set on what I think would have possibly happened if Po and Tigress knew each other before he became Dragon Warrior.

Speaking of making another movie, I am hoping Dreamworks make a third How to Train Your Dragon film. The first and second gave me such a thrill I can't stop watching them over and over again!

Anyway, here is my story. Enjoy!

It was a sunny day at the Bau Gu Orphanage. The children were playing with each other. Except one. A young four year old tiger cub named Tigress was sitting on her own in a dark corner of the orphanage with her knees up to her chest. She was thinking why no one would adopt her. Was it because she was a tiger? Because she had unnatural strength? Or because she was always seen...as a monster?

Mr Ping, a goose who runs a noodle shop, came by the orphanage today to entertain the kids and to give them something different to eat. He brought along his only son Xiao Po, a young panda of around four years old.

"Now listen Po. Some of these kids may not like you because you're a panda and might pick on you. So I want you to promise me you won't get into any fights with them and try to make friends" Po looked up at his dad and nodded his head.

"Yes daddy. I'll try to behave" And they both went in. You're probably wondering how Mr Ping was going to entertain the kids right? Well I'll tell you. He puts on a little puppet show for them. Telling the tale of two star crossed lovers who's families were at war. How they met at a ball and fell in love and, knowing their love could never be because of their parents, they decided to elope and consumate their love in holy matrimony.

When they entered, the carer of the children met them. It was a pig lady whose name was Mistress Poota.

"Oh! Mr Ping, how nice of you to come by and entertain the children. And who's this little cutie?" Po was hiding behind his dad. Too shy to show his face to this woman.

"This is my son. His name is Xiao Po, or you can call him Po. He's not usually shy, he's just nervous about meeting the kids and playing with them" Mistress Poota nodded her head in understanding.

"Well, come in and start to set yourself up. The puppets and puppet box are already there for you. I'll just get the kids" Mistress Poota showed them where the puppet show was to be done, in the courtyard. Mr Ping started to set up and asked Mistress Poota if she could introduce Po to the other kids so he could play with them. She agreed and showed Po where the other kids were playing.

Mistress Poota brought Po to the back of the courtyard, where around ten kids were playing hide and seek, and she cleared her throat. The kids immediatly stopped what they were doing and when they saw Po, they immediatly thought they would NOT be playing with him. "Kids, this is Xiao Po. He's the son of Mr Ping who has come to do a little show for you today. While he is setting up, we would like you to play with him until it is showtime. Can you do that for me?" The kids all nodded.

Po nervously went toward the other kids. As soon as Mistress Poota was far enough they all glared at Po, as if saying 'Play with us and we'll hurt you'. Po hung his head, upset, and went to a corner of the courtyard, that's when he saw Tigress.

Po thought she looked lonely, sitting there all alone. He went up to her and smiled. Tigress sensed someone near her and looked up from her postion, which was her knees up to her chest and her head resting behind them. As soon as she saw this panda smiling at her, she couldn't help but to glare. "Who are you?" She asked firmly.

Po kept his smile and said "My name is Po Ping. I'm here with my dad to put on a show for the kids here£ Then his expression turned sad. "None of them want to play with me so I came over here and that's when I saw you. I was wondering if you wanted to play with me?"

Tigress gave him a look of confusion. "Aren't you afraid of me?" Now Po was confused.

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that...the other kids and the caretakers are afraid of me because of my unnatural strength, claws and fangs. So everyone calls me a monster and stays away from me" Tigress's expression turned sad. Obviously hating the fact that everyone was scared of her and called her a monster, when all she wanted to do was play.

Po gave her a sad look before saying "Of course you have a lot of strength, claws and fangs. You're a tiger. You're supposed to have those. I think it's stupid how they don't look past that and see a little girl who just wants to play"

Tigress was shocked. All the others saw her as a monster who should be locked away, while this panda, he saw her for who she really is. A little girl who was lonely, sad and just wants to play.

A smile came to her face, then she stood up. "Of course Po. I'll play with you. But why the other kids don't want to play with you? I'll never know"

Po smiled and held out his right paw. "May I have your name before we start playing?"

Tigress smiled brighter then shook his paw. "My name is Tigress" Po smiled even bigger.

"That's a pretty name" Then Po started running. "Come on Tigress! Let's play tag!" Tigress smiled again. Then she went on all fours and started to chase him.

Mistress Poota came to check up on Po to see how he was doing. But what she saw shocked her to the core. Po was playing, but not with who she expected. She saw Po playing tag with Tigress. She expected she would hurt Po with her massive strength, but it seemed that whenever she tagged Po, she did it gently, not the usual amount of strength she used when she usually touched something. It was like she didn't want to hurt him, almost as if she...cared for the little panda.

After shaking out of her shock, she went to see if Mr Ping was ready with the puppet show yet. When he told her he was, she told the kids to come and watch. The kids eagerly ran up to the front of the courtyard and took a seat.

Po was about to join them when he saw Tigress wasn't following him. "Tigress? Aren't you going to see the show?"

Tigress shook her head in a 'no' fashion with a crestfallen expression. "The other kids don't like me near them. So it's best I don't see the show, no matter how much I want to" A tear escaped her eye and Po decided he didn't like seeing his new friend cry. So he went up to her and told her "If you're not seeing the show, then I'm not seeing it either"

Tigress became shocked. "What? But, don't you want to see the show?"

Po smiled. "If my friend ain't seeing it, then I'm not seeing it. I've seen it countless times anyway and it's one of my favourite's!" Tigress was beyond shocked. How could he say he wasn't going to see it if she wasn't going to? This panda was either very stubborn, determined or very caring for his friends. Tigress went with the latter.

Tigress then realised something. "Wait. Your friend? You see me as your friend?"

Po tilted his head, confused. "Of course I do. Why wouldn't I want to be frinds with you? You're kind, caring, fun and very...pretty" Po and Tigress both blushed at his last statement. No one ever called Tigress those things before, so she was unused to the compliments.

"Thanks Po. You're very kind, considerate and really sweet to say those things" This made Po smile, which was contagious as Tigress was smiling as well.

Seeing as Tigress didn't want to see the show, Po got a brilliant idea. "Say Tigress, if you don't want to see the show, how about I just tell you the story? I know it off by heart"

Tigress's smile got wider as she nodded her head before saying "Of course Po. I'd love to hear the story"

And so Po sat next to Tigress and told her the story of the Star Crossed Lovers.

Mistress Poota came back to find Po and Tigress, she told Mr Ping she'll find them and tell them the show was about to start. When she found them, Po seemed to be telling her the story off by heart and Tigress laughed and cried at certain parts. She smiled and, not wanting to disturb them, she went back to tell Mr Ping they won't be seeing the show as Po is telling it to Tigress.

After Po finished telling Tigress the story she smiled, clapped her paws and po took a bow, but he bowed so low he fell on his face. Tigress gasped and helped him up.

Po stood up and rubbed his head. "Ow. Note to self: never bow that low again" This made Tigress giggle, and she became shocked once again. She never gigled! How was this panda able to provoke such reactions out of her?

They played some more, and when it came time for Po to go home, Tigress became sad. She was thinking she was probably not going to see Po again. Po turned to Tigress, while his dad went to the entrance to let him say goodbye, and could see she was upset about something.

Po could see pain in her eyes and unshed tears. "Listen Tigress. Just because I'm going home doesn't mean I'm never coming back" He hugged her. Tigress stiffened, but then eased into it, hugging him back. "I'll be back Tigress. I promise. And you need to know that I always keep my promises"

And keep his promise he did.

I'll end it here. Like I said, I'm taking a break from my other fic From Another World because I've lost inspiration for it and need to watch more Fairy Tail to get my inspiration back.

Anyway, this fic is going to be my version of the Kung Fu Panda, then I'll make my own version of the other two films.

So! Hope you enjoyed the first chapter, please R&R and I'll update as soon as possible!

Hwyl Fawr! (Goodbye in Welsh, which is not my first language, English is)
