That night, the Five are walking to the bunkhouse , which sits high on a hill, led by a palace goose with a lantern.
Mantis: There's no words.
Crane: No denying that.
Viper: I don't understand what Master Oogway was thinking. The poor guy's just going to get himself killed!
Crane:[mocking] He is so mighty! The Dragon Warrior... fell out of the sky on a ball of fire!
Mantis: When he walks, the very ground shakes!
[Everyone laughs except Tigress.]
Tigress: One would think that Master Oogway would choose someone who actually knew kung fu. [She walks ahead.]
Mantis: Yeah but that Vixen guy thou. He was awesome.
Viper: Yeah (Dreamily) he's amazing.
Everyone stops to look at her as she starts blushing.
Tigress: Hmph being amazing will do nothing in battle but I will admit he is quite flex able for someone of his type.
Crane: Yeah, at least Master Oogway chose someone that could at least touch his toes.
Monkey: Or even see his toes.
As the others walk off, laughing, Po and Y/n emerges from behind rock, who unbeknownst to them has been walking behind them this whole time, hearing everything. Y/n glares at the direction of the five while Po attempts to look at his toes, but just sees gut. He lifts up his stomach, leans forward... leans... leans... and falls over. He gets up and watches them go inside. He sighs.
Inside, the Five blow out the candles in their rooms as Y/n is in the halls trying to find an escape route.
Y/n : Okay.
[He tip-toes into the hall. SQUEAK. The floorboards strain beneath him. SQUEAK.]
Y/n: [whispering] Fucking hell.
He tries to instead use his tail to jump from one point to the next. That immediately fails as he tumbles into Crane's room who instantly woke up.
Y/n: Hey Master Crane how are you doing.
Crane: fine, I just woke up
Y/n: Good it's good to be fine.
Crane: Look, you don't belong here.
Y/n is offended and starts lashing out at the bird
Y/n: Alright Mister Big shot, I know my brother and I don't know any kind of Kung fu or some shit but that doesn't mean you and the others get to walk over both of us like we were nothing. So if you so much as think of....
[Crane stops Y/n before he embarrasses himself even more.]
Crane: No no no... I meant you don't belong here. I mean, in this room. This is my room. Property of Crane.
Y/n: Oh. Sorry my anger always gets the best off me. I apologize.
Crane: Yeah.
Y/n: I'm just gonna go and leave now
Y/n puts the door back up. His silhouette can be seen standing outside, not moving. Crane sighs.
Y/n turns and walks down the hall to find an exit of the jade palace. CREAK-CREAK... Tigress opens the door next to him.
Y/n: Master Tigress! Didn't mean to wake you. I was just, uh—
Tigress: You don't belong here.
Y/n:Uh, yeah, of course. This is your room— [Tigress approaches and glares at him.]
Tigress: I mean... you don't belong in the Jade Palace. You may be agile and strong (whispers) abit cute but you're a disgrace to kung fu, and if you have any respect for who we are and what we do, you will be gone by morning.
She closes the door on Y/n, glares at her door and walks away.
A little later, a dejected Po is standing under a peach tree on hill a . Oogway approaches with a glowing lantern.
I see you have found the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
Po spins around, his arms full of peaches and his mouth equally stuffed. He drops the peaches in shock.
Po: [with his mouth full] Is that what this is? I am so sorry. I thought it was just a regular peach tree.
Oogway: I understand. You eat when you are upset.
Po: [Spits out the remaining peaches and slurs words together.] Upset? I'm not upset. What makes you think I'm upset?
Oogway :So why are you upset?
[Po pauses, then sighs: There's no use trying to lie to Oogway.]
Po: I probably sucked more today than anyone in the history of kung fu, in the history of China, in the history of sucking.
Oogway: Probably.
Po: And the Five... man, you should have seen them, they totally hate me.
Oogway: Totally.
Po:How's Shifu ever gonna turn me into the Dragon Warrior? [He lifts his belly and drops it, causing it to bounce until he stops with his his paw. He sighs.] I mean, I'm not like the Five and I'm not like my brother. I've got no claws, no wings, no venom. Even Mantis has those... [imitating a mantis's front legs] ...thingies. Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.
Po sits down, his back to Oogway. Oogway look at him for a moment.
Oogway: Quit, don't quit. Noodles, don't noodles. [Po looks back at him, confused.] You are too concerned with what was and what will be. There's a saying: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
[Oogway hits the tree with his staff as he walks away, and a peach falls into Po's open paw. Po smiles as he watches the tortoise leave.]
