In the kitchen , Po perfectly moving again , cooks noodles with the Five , including Akemi sitting at the table. Akemi sits next to Crane.

Po- So I'm like , fine , you may be a  wolf , you maybe the scariest bandit in Haijin Province... But you're a lousy tipper.

Akemi- ( chuckles ) No kidding , Po.

Crane- ( curious ) Really ? So , how'd you get out of there alive ?

Po- I mean , I didn't actually said that, but I thought it  .... In... In my mind. But , boy did that wolf bandit flirt with Akemi  ...

Akemi- Wait , what ?!

Crane hears this and becomes slightly jealous.

Po- Oh , yeah. You said you weren't taking any of that crap from that snarly mongrel so you slapped him , then roundhouse kicked him out of the door. And you called yourself " The Fox That Steals Everyone's Hearts ".

Akemi- Oh really ?

Po- Really.

Po expertly flips the  five bowls on his one arm . He ladles the soup into them.

Po- Yeah. If he...Could read my mind , he'd have been line " What ? " then... Order up ! Hope you like it.

Po slides the five bowls to Akemi , then to the Five ( Minus Tigress , since she has a plate of tofu )

Akemi- Thanks Po.

As she was about to grab a spoon next to her , Crane's foot was on top of Akemi's paw. They both looked at each other . Akemi looks away blushing and so does Crane.

Crane- H-here.

Akemi- Are you sure , Crane ?

Crane- Y-yeah. I'm sure . Here you go.

He gives her the spoon.

Akemi- Thanks. Oh , look. There's the other spoon. Here.

Akemi grabs it and gives it to Crane. He hesitates for a second , then shyly takes it and sheepishly smiles. Making Akemi giggle.

Crane- Th-thanks.

Mantis takes a sip.

Mantis- This is really good !

Po- ( bashfully ) No , C'mon. You should try my dad's secret ingredient soup. He actually... Knows the secret ingredient.

Viper takes a sip and smiles brightly.

Viper- What are you talking about ? This is amazing !

Crane- Wow , you're a really great cook.

Mantis- I wish my mouth was bigger.

Akemi chuckles.

Monkey- Tigress , you've got to try this.

Tigress picks up her plate and picks up a piece of tofu with her chopsticks , ignoring the noodles.

Tigress- It is said that the dragon warrior cans survive for months at a time on nothing but the dew of a single gingko leaf and the energy of the universe.

Tigress take a bite of her tofu , whilst glaring at Po.

Then there was silence. Everyone realizes that Po was put down once again. Akemi puts her paw on Po's shoulder.

Akemi- Don't listen to her Po. She's just jealous that she wasn't chosen.

Tigress growls like an actual tiger would , while Akemi growls like a dog. Monkey and Crane break them up. Monkey handles Tigress. Crane handles Akemi by wrapping his wings around her midsection . Akemi calms down. Tigress does the same.

Crane- It's okay , Akemi. Calm down. Take it easy.

Po- I guess my body doesn't know it's the dragon warrior yet. I'm gonna need more than dew and uh... Universe.. Juice.

Po brings the bowl up to his face as he began drinking down the soup juice of the noodles. After a second , Po brings the bowl down , and a noodle was on his lip , making it look like a mustache . Akemi and Mantis sees this and snicker.

Akemi- ( snickers ) Oh my God.

Po- What ?

Mantis- Oh , nothing. Master Shifu.

Then the rest of the Five , excluding Tigress laugh . Po began mimicking Shifu.

Po- ( imitates Shifu ) You will never be the dragon warrior ! Unless you lose 500 pounds and brush your teeth !

Akemi and the others began to laugh. As she was laughing , she felt a wing wrapped around her waist and looks at Crane , who shed a tear from laughing too hard. She blushes scarlett red as Po kept making fun of the red panda.

Po- ( imitates Shifu) What's that noise you're making ?! Laughter ?! I never heard of it ! Work hard , panda and maybe someday....

Po raises up to bowls and put them to his ears to make it look like Shifu's ears.

Po- ( imitates Shifu ) You'll have ears like mine.

This gag makes the Five laugh near hysterics. But then it was silent as everyone , including Tigress and Akemi became stone faced at the moment. It was Shifu. He's behind Po with a stern glare , while holding Oogway's staff.

Po- Ears. It's not working for you ? I thought they were good.

Monkey- ( whispers to Po ) It's Shifu !

Po- Of course it's Shifu ! What do you think I'm doing ?

Gaping , Monkey and Akemi point behind him. Po looks behind him and sees Shifu. In shock in mortification , he brings the two bowls up to his chest making it look like a bra/boobs.

Po- Master Shifu !

Po slurps up the noodle mustache and lowers his arms. The Five laugh again as Crane and Akemi smile brightly. But Shifu snaps at all of them.

Shifu- You think this is funny ?! Tai Lung has escaped from prison and you're all acting like children !

Akemi perks up her ears .

Akemi- Wait , what ?!

Shifu- He's coming for the dragon scroll and you're the only two that can stop him.

Then all of the sudden the two bowls on Po's chest clatter to the ground. Akemi tries to laugh but she couldn't.

Po- And here I'm saying you got no sense of humor of Akemi and I are going to stop Tai Lung...

Shifu gave him a dead serious expression.

Po- What you're serious ? And I have to ...uh.... Master Oogway will stop him. He did it before , he'll do it again.

Akemi turns to Shifu and nods in agreement.

Akemi- Yeah ! He has to ! Right ?

Shifu- No he cannot !

He then sadly looks down at Oogway's staff.

Shifu- Not anymore.

The Five and Akemi gasp. Realizing what that meant. Became saddened of this news.

Shifu- Our only hope now... Are the dragon warriors.

Annoyed and angry , Tigress points out and questions him.

Tigress- The panda and the kitsune runt ?

Shifu- Yes them !

Tigress pushes her chair back and then stands up and began to argue with her master.

Tigress- Master please , let us top Tai Lung ! This is what you trained us for !

Akemi realized Po left in an instant. She then whispers to Crane.

Akemi- I'm going to get Po.

Crane nods. As she gets up from her seat , one of her tails caressed a part of his face , making him blush deep red. She then left the room without Shifu noticing.

Shifu- No ! It's not your destiny to defeat Tai Lung ! It is theirs !

He points the staff at Po , but to find out he's gone. He looks at Akemi's seat. Empty.

Shifu- Where'd they go ?

With Akemi....

Akemi found Po screaming while running . She went after him.

Akemi- Po ! Come back ! Wait a minute !

Before he could reach the stairs , Shifu landed in front of him . Making him and Akemi stop.

Shifu- You cannot leave ! A real warrior never quits !

Po- Watch me ! Come on , Akemi !

He grabs her hand and was about to rum away until Shifu redirected them back.

Po- Oh come on! How are we supposed to beat Tai Lung ? I can't even beat you to the stairs !

Akemi- I can't even do a flying kick !

Shifu- You two will beat him ! You two are the dragon warriors !

Shifu pokes Po's belly with the staff.

Po- Ow ! You don't believe  that !

He then gets hit again on his arm .

Po- Oh ! You didn't believe that from the moment we got here ! You've been trying to get rid of us !

Po was about to maneuver out of the way until Shifu sweeps legs from under him , making him fall on his back as Shifu points the staff at Po.

Shifu- Yes I was ! But now I ask you two to trust in your master as I trusted in mine.

Akemi walks up to him and snaps at his face while swiping the staff away from Po. She had a glare that tells him she can't take it anymore. She points the finger at him.

Akemi- You were never our master.

Po sits up.

Po- Yeah. And we're not the dragon warriors.

Shifu- Then why didn't you two quit ?! You knew I was trying to get rid of you both , yet you stayed !

Po stands back up.

Po- Yeah. We stayed. I stayed because though everytime you threw a brick at my head or said I smelled. It hurt ! But it could never hurt more than it did everyday of my life. Just being me. I stayed because I thought if anyone could change me could be making me not me , it was you ! The greatest kung fu  warrior teacher in all of China !

Shifu was now in stunned silence. Now , it was Akemi's turn to speak up.

Akemi- And the reason why I stayed is because I thought this would be the place where people don't judge me for my three tails. And I heard you call me a freak. Yeah. Don't act like I didn't . Even though Tigress hates me so much , I was determined to show I wasn't helpless and useless and I CAN FEND FOR MYSELF !!!

Po and Shifu were shocked by her emotional outburst. But Shifu snaps out of it.

Shifu- But I can change and help you ! I can turn you two into the dragon warriors ! And I will !

Po- ( Scoffs ) Oh come on ! Tai Lung is on his way here right now ! And even if it takes him a hundred years to get here , how are you going to change this...

He gestures and indicates his belly. Akemi did the same with her moving tails.

Akemi- ( points to her tails ) And this.

Po- Into dragon warriors , huh ?

Shifu was stunned. He didn't answer.

Po- How ?

Shifu still didn't answer. Po repeats his question.

Po- ( desperate ) How ?

Shifu closed his mouth , and was still speechless. Then Po snaps .

Po- How ?!

Akemi flinches a bit.

Shifu- I don't know !

Shifu calms down after taking a few breaths.

Shifu- I don't know.

Po's anger turned to sadness.

Po- That's what we thought.

Shifu walks away. Po was facing the ground. He then looks at Akemi , whose eyes are tear filled.

Po- Akemi ? Are you okay ?

Without responding , an emotionally hurt Akemi runs off into the forest , leaving Po alone.

Po- Akemi ! Akemi , come back !

Akemi- ( still running ) Leave me alone !

Po just sighs and becomes saddened. Po went back into the bunkhouse , not noticing Tigress was above the arena listening to the while conversation. Tigress also became saddened. She didn't mean to make Akemi feel bad. She was jealous of her. Jealous she was chosen. She turned back around and jumps off the arena.
