"Alright Po, calm down." Po told himself. He shut his eyes and checked his surroundings. His face was guided through the hall, at last fixating on one point. The side exit. When he opened his eyes, a swift movement was seen, quickly disappearing behind the roof trims.
"I saw you!" Po yelled and ran toward the side exit. Shifu followed behind and looked into the roof, where yet again nothing could be seen.
Shifu turned to Po. "After that, creature. Now!" Shifu ordered, which Po obeyed and quickly ran around the outer palace floor, to see the creature running along the trees and rocks in the palace yard.
"Hey get back here you scum!" Po yelled.
The creature continued it's sprint across the yard, slowly but surely gaining it's distance from the Dragon Warrior.
The swift figure quickly navigated along the vivid landscapes of the palace yard, across jade stones and giant trees. Po flipped over a rock and landed on his feet, continuing his chase. Suddenly, the figure came to an immediate halt. It seemed to have collided with something.
"Where do you think you're going?" a green bug, going by the name Master Mantis asked, lifting the figure up on his own.
The figure escaped his hold and went for the courtyard, where Po finally had kept up and launched himself at the figure. They ended up colliding mid-air, landing on the rough gravel. "Gotcha!" Po exclaimed, Shifu breached through the door to the yard, running down to Po. "Great job, Po and Mantis." Shifu said whilst Mantis landed beside.
The three held the figure down onto the ground, leaving the figure no chance to escape.
Shifu unraveled the mask only to spot a, familiar face.
"Tigress?" Po, Shifu and Mantis asked simultaneously.
She groaned.
"What?" Po questioned, looking completely dumbfounded.
"You got me." she said.
"Tigress, what is this?" Shifu asked, glaring at the tiger on the ground.
"I, I don't know." she said. "What do you mean you don't know? Clearly you know, you are probably the one who hid themselves in the palace." Shifu said, clearly not buying Tigress' behavior.
"I- I'll explain later. The lack of sleep has been, killing me lately."
Po ceased the hold. "At dinner, or what?"
"Yes, at dinner."
"You better come up with a good explanation, Tigress." Shifu remarked, glaring at her.
"Yeah yeah." she said, lifting herself onto her feet. The figure, who turned out to be Tigress, steadily walked out of the courtyard, leaving the three masters confused. They stood in a triangle, staring at the exit where she just left. The panda turned to look back at the others. "Like, what?"
Shifu shook his head. "I'm gonna be expecting a real answer from her soon." He muttered and left the yard, holding his staff behind his back.
"Literally, what just happened?" Mantis asked, looking equally as confused as the ursine did.
"Who knows?!" Po yelled, still questioning Tigress' weird behavior.
Tigress walked out of the palace yards, wearing an evil smirk on her face as she closed the gates to the arena behind her.

DINNER
Po and his friends had gathered around the kitchen table. Po and Mantis had delivered the sudden news of Tigress' weird behavior earlier that day, making the others aware of what she had done. Though they made sure that she was not informed.
