The target should be here soon, and sooner that he gets here, the sooner I get paid. I'm mike the fox, 4 ft 6 and a orange furry creature. Foxes like me are rare, but were around. I'm currently in the valley of peace, waiting for my target to walk out onto the stage.

I look around the area, keeping my eye out for any of those warriors that reside in this village, I really hope they don't show up. Usually I wouldn't be so anxious but you know, the furious five and the dragon warrior live here and there far beyond my level of skill. So right now I'm just acting casual as I can. I'm currently on a second story balcony that's directly across from the stage and with my crossbow out of sight. People are starting to show up at this "little" event that my target was throwing and there all conversing in the small courtyard below me. This little square is usually used to celebrate things like birthday parties but with what my target intends to say, he can't be to grand.

My target, a former and old genral for the emperor has recently been discharged and almost put to death due to corruption charges. This general was very well liked among the populace of china and the people that had been bribing him have a way to use him to there advantage. So now he's calling out for people to help him dethrone the emperor and spreading the seeds of rebellion. Most of the people like the emperor, but there are always those who are dissatisfied. So I've made it my primary goal at the moment to take out this foolish deer and his silly dreams of becoming the emperor.

I looked around the courtyard and nothing was really happening at the moment, but people were starting file in.

I looked down at the floor of the balcony and see a pebble, I shrug my shoulders and picked it up. I started throwing the pebble into the air and catching it as a way to pass the time.

It was twenty minutes before people REALLY started to show up and the target hasn't started the show yet. "I wonder what there gonna be doing" the childish voice echoed throughout the courtyard causing some to look. The furious five and the dragon panda AND master shifu walked into the courtyard, I stopped tossing the stone and sighed out angrily. The tiger takes a quick glance at me before following the rest to sit on the left side of the courtyard towards the back, BY ME.

I'm gonna have to pull of something grand if I'm gonna escape this one; and now I wish I took a different job then this one.

Unseen drums and other musical instruments started playing and stool my attention from my escape plan.

The crowd cheered and swan dancers descended onto the stage.

I looked around the courtyard and saw that everyone's attention was on the stage, well except the tiger. She was also looking around the courtyard, and looked like she was expecting trouble.

I look behind me at the open door and through the room and I see an open window, that will have to do. I look back at the stage as the drums stop and a small light song emerges from somewhere.

The performance was pleasant, but that was all it was.

I looked around the courtyard once again but this time the tiger was looking at me. She kept on looking at me but at one point her eyes narrowed, a plan forms in my head.

I stare right into her eyes, flash a flirtatious smile, and wiggle my eyebrows.

Signs of disguise show up immediately show up on her face and she quickly looks up at the stage again.

That should hopefully throw off that nice looking tiger, but I'm gonna have to do this quick because she'll know were the arrow will come from the quickest. Clapping erupted and I looked towards the stage, the swans were bowing and the crowd was cheering.
