I'm back! And thanks to everyone who wrote a review and gave me some new ideas. Especially tigerlover101 for their idea with Zan. Thank you all :D

The days went by. After the incident in the orphanage nothing special happend. Tigress' arm healded fast from the injury she got from punching that metal door and Po hadn't found the spell to change her back yet.

However throughout the acting nobody noticed Tigress change in mind and mood. Even without acting she was almost like a real child. Only when the emperor left and the masters were on their own once again, Shifu noticed the strange behavor.

It was afternoon. Shifu had given them the day off and he was now on his way to meditate in the Hall of Heros. When he entered the hall the first thing he saw was his adoptive daughter, laying on her stomach and placing some domiones on the floor. When she heard his footsteps coming closer, the little tiger shot up to greet her master.

"Hello, Ba- Master Shifu", she bowed as Shifu raised his eyebrow.

"Hm? Were you just about to call me 'Baba'?" the red panda asked in fascination.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why, it just came to my mind" Tigress apologized.

"No need for an apologize, I was just surprised. Tell me, why do you... play... in the Hall of Heros? Didn't you say you were too old for toys when you were thirteen?"

"I said that? Well, I just felt like it and... I don't actually know why I played here...?" It was more of a question than an answer. But she didn't really have the time to overthink it again. Right in this momet Zeng, the messager goose came in "A message for Master Tigress!"

Tigress took the scroll and began to read the letter:

Dear Tigess

I'm going to visit you. I don't know when this letter will arrive, so I'll come on Wednesday evening. We're going to have a lot of fun! We can play checkers and you can teach me more Kung fu! And maybe we can invite the crocodiles, too.

Much love

Zan

Tigress smiled at this, but then she remembered the circumstances and mumbled "That's not good..." before handing the scroll to her master. "Zeng, what day is it?" he asked immediately. "Wednesday" Zeng answered while sweeping the floor.

"What do we do now, Master?We can't send Zan back home right after he arrives" Little Tigress worried. "We'll indroduce you as Biāo of course and tell him that Tigress is on a mission."

Right then someone knocked on the door. A little gap opened and a goosling streched his head into the hall. After a short analysis of the situation inside he finally opened the door completely and came in.

"Hello!" Zan happily exclaimed. His big, innocent eyes looked eagerly at Shifu and Tigress. "I'm sorry, I'm a little early. Where is Tigess?"

The grand master stepped forward "Zan, Tigress is currently on a mission. This is Biāo, she trains temporarily here. Since you're the same age, you can spend the day together." Shifu left the hall and the two children were on their own.

"Hey, do you know how to play checkers?" Zan asked excited.

"Of course, let's play!"

While the two were playing Zan noticed something odd. "Hey, you're Tigess!" he screamed. How could he possibly know? Tigress thought. "What? I'm not Tigress, I'm Biāo!"

"No you're not. You play with Tigess' strategy. And she- you told me once that no one except me ever saw through it!"

"That's just an accident!" Oogway's words echoed in the little tiger's head: There are no accidents. "Ok, Zan come over here, I'll tell you a secret!"Tigress requested.

Zan went over to her and leaned his head hear hers. "I'm really Tigress" she whispered. "I know" the goosling dryly replied "That's what I already said. Can we continue playing then?" Zan was completely unimpressed as he sat down again. Children are really weird sometimes...Tigress thought before making her next move.

At the archieves

"Nope, nope, nope, no" Po muttered as he threw a bunch of scrolls behind him. "Come on, little scroll! You have to be somewhere here!"

He was about to give up and go up to find something to eat, when suddenly he slipped on one of the many scrolls on the ground.

"Ouch" the panda growned as he took one of the many mysteries from his face. He was rolling it up again while reading its contents and froze in place. This was the spell he was looking for.

"Great! Now I just have to-" And with a loud "thud" he Po landed on his face again. Carefully he got up and climbed the stairs to the outside world.

The sky was a beautiful dark blue, turning into pink and orange near the setting sun. Po wanted to tell Tigress right away about his succes and turn her back, but when he saw how she laughed and played with Zan in front of the training hall, he started questioning if should really do this. Sure, Tigress wanted to be an adult again and would definetely try to force him into turning her back if she new he had the scroll. But he wanted her to be as happy as now and he wasn't sure if that would happen if she was back to normal. The panda hid the scroll in his shorts and sat down on the stairs to watch over the two children.

He watched how Zan would chase Tigress in a game of tag and how she would climb on the small the tree near the stairs,how Zan would to climb after her but soon gave up as he realized that it was impossible with his little wings. Po watched how the goosling would start to throw small pebbels at her and how Tigress would dodge them, but lose her balance and fall down only to be tagged by her little friend and start to chase him. It was heartwarming, Po thought.

He didn't notice Shifu coming up behind him and jumped a little as his master spoke.

"Have you found the scroll?"

"Yes, master, I have. But..." Po trailed off. Should he really say that?

"But what?" the red panda next to him asked.

"Buuuuuut... I was wondering, if... we... uhm... could, I don't know, maybe let Tigress have the childhood she never really had and turn her back in a few moons?" Po was getting faster with every word he spoke and as he reached the end of the sentence his voice was, at least, three octaves higher than the usual.

"I think you should discuss this matter with Tigress herself" Shifu answered and vanished as if he had never been there.

Po thought about it. And a few minutes later he gathered his courages and called out to her.

The end

I'm just gonna let you decide for yourselves wether or not Tigress agrees.
