Shifu's POV:

It has been a very great month since Tao returned. He kept his promise and returned after so long. All of this month has been great with Tao becoming great friends with the Furious Five and the panda. It also seems that he has taken a big liking to Tigress, of course he thought that he was the last tiger in China and it would intrigued him to get close to her because of that fact, but I sense more.

With all that thought done with and out of my head I went back to meditating.

"Master Shifu, Message from the Empire." said the messenger Zeng.

I opened up the letter and read through it. It was from the emperor himself saying that he would be leaving on a trip for two months and would like if at least most of the furious five to protect his home for those two months.

With that I went back to the Jade Palace to inform the rest, but I will be leaving two to stay here and protect the Valley of Peace.

Tao's POV:

It was a beautiful day today. The sun was shining bright, no cloud in the sky and a certain tiger in front of me. Tigress and I were sparring and at the moment it was a tie, of course I could easily win, but that would be no fun.

We kept sparring until Shifu came in.

"Master." said everyone, bowing.

"We have a mission. The Emperor sent this message saying he was leaving for two months and asks at least most of us to protect Beijing." he said.

"Cool, let go." said Po.

"Wait, Tao, you and Tigress need to stay here and protect the Valley of Peace in case it is to be attacked." Shifu said.

"Yes master." said Tigress and I at the same time.

With that, Shifu and the rest left for Beijing.
