The Curious Tale Of Momoda

Two Stories Collide

The three raced down the mountain to see what the matter was. "Ah," Tigress grunted.

"Are you okay?" Crane asked. 

"Yes, just... a little sore in my hip," Tigress said. 

"Do you want me to carry you?"

"No!" Tigress quickly answered Po. Crane glanced at Po as if he had asked a stupid question, but the panda slyly smiled at Tigress's glaring scowl. "What is it that's going on down the mountain?" 

"You kinda have to see it to believe it."

"Why?" Po asked. Before he could answer, they started to hear a loud commotion near the foot of the mountain. Tigress, Po, and Crane walked to the last step to see a long, long line of male animals. They had flowers, boxes, and bags, and all of them were shouting and yelling at each other. Some of the characters were bandits and soldiers while others looked like officials and common villagers. Shifu made a loud whistle on his flute to call everyone's attention. "AHH! Wow, I didn't realize how loud that flute could get," Po muttered, holding his ears. 

"It comes in handy," Shifu said, "Gentlemen, gentlemen! What's all of this about?" 

"Where is she? Where is she?" 

"That's her!" 

"No, you fool. That's Master Tigress. Completely different tiger," The suitors spoke over each other. Po covered his mouth to stop his laughter. He didn't dare look at Tigress who he knew was glaring at him. 

"What tiger are you looking for?" Crane asked. 

"We're looking for Momoda!" 

"Yeah, we want to marry her!"

"WHAT?!" Shifu, the Furious Five, and Po shouted. 

Then, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Po fell backward in a fit of laughter, kicking his feet in the air. Shifu rubbed his temples as the suitors squabbled on. 

"Her flirts were obviously on me."

"You fool. They were on me. She punched me through a wall. Obviously a woman's way of showing affection," Said a bandit suitor.

"She rubbed her scent on me. Of course, it's going to be me." 

Po's laughter slowly died down as he finally got up. He rose his hands over the growling and fidgeting crowd and spoke, 

"Guys, guys! I'm sure that Momoda likes all of you because you're all cute in some way, shape, or form," Po smiled. He tried his hardest not to look at Tigress, but it was so tempting to see what kind of face she had right now. "Unfortunately, the mysterious Momoda has left the Valley of Peace forever."

"WHAT?!" Everyone exclaimed. 

"Po, what are you talking about?" Viper asked. 

"I spoke with Momoda last night and she said that she's going back home to face her fears."

"Where is her homeland?" asked a suitor.

"In the north, near the Mongolian territory," Shifu explained. "We're sorry to disappoint you men about this... very recent development." 

"Awwww."

"Cheer up guys," Po smiled, "There's more fish in the sea."

"But I want a tiger wife," Said a bunny suitor. Po chuckled as the team watched the suitors disperse. 

"Po, why would Momoda leave all of a sudden? What was your meeting about?" Shifu asked. 

Po sighed, a little heavily. "The whole reason Momoda came here in the first place was to escape her problems back home. But her problems came back to haunt her, even here."
