Since you guys has given me massive support of 'A Tiger Cub's Horrifying Secret', I decided to make an extended version of how Max met Tigress. It's something I should've added in and I thought up of this on Thanksgiving weekend. So I hope you like this one.

Max is Discovered: The Extended Version

Max was tiptoeing his way through the hallways of the barracks to get to the kitchen to get a snack, hoping that no one will catch him in the middle of the night. It was very dark and he could barely see where he was going, which made him a little worried that someone will catch him eventually.

He finally got to the kitchen and he looks around to see if there's anything that he can have to cure his midnight munchies craving. He looks throughout the entire kitchen to find something and he looks at the top of the cupboards and sees a cookie jar standing there.

"Cookies..." Max said, happily.

Without warning, he hops up on the cupboards, letting out strained grunts to get to the top and when he actually got up there, he takes a deep breath and sits down and picks up the cookie jar and sees an entire jarfull of almond cookies. He's never tried or heard of those things before, but his stomach growling could tell him that to take the risk.

He sighed heavily and he ate the first almond cookie and his taste buds completely went overdrive and he ate a few pieces of it and within 2 minutes, he felt like having at least four pieces is good enough for him and he sets the jar down.

He looks down on the ground and sees that he's high up on the ground and he takes a deep breath and tries to climb down, but one look down almost made him lose his balance and he tries to grab onto the shelves with his paws, but he couldn't hold on any longer and he falls down on the ground, hard.

Max groans in pain, rubbing his back and he stands up on the ground to get back to Musaki's room, but he suddenly heard someone 's footsteps and he was panicking to know that he's gonna be caught and be in big trouble. He quickly hid under the table and just quickly hung himself to the bottom of the table with his claws on the edges and when he sticks his head down, the sight of orange feet intensified the fear for Max because he knows that it's Tigress.

He starts panting silently and sweating away, fearing that she's gonna bring harm to him. After that, he lets himself go and lands a small thud on the ground, which made Tigress let out a low growl and exclaimed, "Show yourself!"

Max silently got out under the table and he tried to not give himself away and while Tigress searches for the person, he quickly hid in another pantry and wit the door closed, Max definitely was shaking in fear and he takes a small look to see what Tigress is doing and he's waiting for her to leave and he backs away slowly and starts panting heavily, hoping that she won't hear him.

Tigress let out a fierce growl and that scared Max to a maximum and all of a sudden, he lets out a sneeze and he realized that Tigress might hear him and he tried to lay low for a minute.

Unfortunately for him, Tigress did hear a sneeze and she quickly went to the pantry where he's hiding and she burst the doors open and she sees his tail behind a few of the cans and she yanks it, which caused Max to let out a yowl and scratched her face again.

He got out of there, but Tigress looks up and sees a very frightened Max standing there and she growled at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Max was too afraid to speak to her because she looked very angry and she wasn't about to wait around and she told him in an angry tone, "Speak...now."

Max backed away from her and he said, "Get away from me."

Tigress went to him, but Max refused to let her get anywhere near him and when she reached to him, he immediately ran away from her and Tigress quickly blocked his way and he kicked her in the stomach and that made her really angry and she almost swung at him before he dodged her attacks and he got on the table and he said, "Please get away from me."

"Tell me who you are now!" Tigress screamed, slamming her fist on the table.

Max stood there, watching Tigress get even more angrier at any given moment and he said, "Just leave me alone."

Tigress gave him a death glare and he started whimpering in fear and she asked him, "I'm not gonna ask you again otherwise you don't wanna deal with me. Are you gonna tell me your name or aren't you?"

Tigress got more angrier and felt like she was gonna lose it, making him scream louder and louder and louder until it intensifies to the point where anyone can hear him and he screamed, "Let me go!"

"WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" Tigress screamed.

"MAX!"

Max looks up and he sees a very shocked and appalled Musaki coming in seeing him being caught by Tigress and he asked, "What is going on here?"

Tigress turned to Musaki and Max was crying softly and he turned to him and he told her, "Leave him alone."

Tigress looked at him and she sees that he's crying and she just let him go out of his way, but she was still mad at the fact that she didn't know that Max was here and Musaki came to him and he hugged him tightly and suddenly, the other kung-fu warriors popped out of nowhere, making Max more scared than ever and Viper asked, "What's going on?"

Musaki didn't know what to say and all eyes were turning to him and suddenly, Max pops out from behind and he said, "Don't get Musaki in trouble. He was trying to protect me."

Tigress snarled at him and she said, "We don't need to hear another word out of you."

Viper slithered over to him and Max tried to stay away, but she looked at him with sympathy and asked, "Are you okay, sweetie?"

She reached her neck to him for a hug and he started purring softly and Viper said, "He's cute."

"Musaki, where'd you get him?" asked Monkey.

Musaki sighed heavily and he said, "Well...this is my cousin...Max. I've had him here for four days."

All of the kung-fu masters couldn't believe what they were hearing and exclaimed, "4 days?"

That made Tigress furious to know that Musaki was hiding him for 4 days and angrily confronted them and asked, "I demand to know why you kept him for 4 days?"

"Because...he's kinda scared of you." Musaki replied.

Monkey was curious to know about this and he asked, "Why is he scared of Tigress?"

Musaki didn't want to tell them this because it might make her more mad and he told him, "He's the one that actually scratched her, bit her tail and kicked her from behind."

Tigress turned to Max and he swallowed nervously and Tigress was fuming to know that a kid would do that and she asked, "It was you?"

"Uh-huh."

To know that it was him and Musaki knew about it and didn't tell her made her feel extremely angry and she took it out on Musaki and asked, "You kept this a secret from me and didn't even tell me?"

"What was I supposed to do? I tried to tell Max that he would tell you himself, but he was too scared because you might kill him."

She was taken aback by that comment and when she looked at Max, she was seething mad and she went to one side of the kitchen and started throwing things at him and Max, which made them both scared and the other masters shocked.

Max tries to run away, but Tigress blocked him out of the way and she told him, "You think you're gonna hide from us?"

"He's only a kid, Tigress." Po added.

"I don't care!" Tigress screamed in anger.

Musaki went in front of him and quickly defended him and said, "You can be mad at me for all I care, but I don't want you to hurt my cousin."

Tigress gave him a death glare and pounds her fist on Max and screamed, "We don't know anything about him!"

"Because you're not giving him a chance!" Musaki yelled, getting in her face.

Tigress shoved him out of the way and aims her anger at Max and she sees the others trying to stop Tigress from fighting him, but she didn't care and she quickly went and got into his face, screaming maniacally at him, but she was stopped because someone grabbed her tail, only to find that it's Shifu.

Shifu looked at her with shock and he asked, angrily, "What are you doing?"

Max started crying and that caught Shifu's attention and he stood there in shock, knowing that Tigress took down a young cub and he asked, "Did you scare that child?"

Musaki got to him and he sees Max lying there on the ground and he asked, "You okay?"

Max whimpers in fear and replied, tearfully, "No..."

Musaki was mad at Tigress for coming down on him for no reason and he asked, "How cruel can you be for scaring my cousin?"

Shifu stared at Musaki and he asked, "That's your cousin?"

"Yes. This is Max. He's been here for 4 days."

Shifu knew that he was hiding something from the others and he asked, "Why didn't you introduce him to us?"

"Well...he was kinda scared to because he kinda scratched Tigress' face the first time he came here." Musaki answered.

Shifu was silent for a minute and then Max stared at Shifu and he asked in a timid voice, "You're not gonna hurt me, are you?"

Shifu patted his head and he said, "No. I will not hurt you."

"What I want to know is where did he come from." Tigress asked, in a cold manner.

Max and Musaki explained everything to them and after that, all of them except for Tigress, shared Max's sympathy and Po told him, "You're safe here with us, buddy."

"I'm just worried that...she might come for me again and hurt me." Max said.

"Well, she'll have to get through us if that ever happens." Monkey said.

"And do not worry Max. You can stay here as long as you like and my students will treat you like family, but rest assured, I'll treat you the same way as my students as you participate in kung-fu training." Shifu explained.

"Yes, sir." Max added.

"It's a good thing that Musaki is your cousin too."

Tigress stared at Max and she scoffed at him as she gets up and walks out of the room but not before she tells him, "You don't belong here already and don't think I'll forget about what you did with me because I won't forgive you that easily."

Max definitely felt like this was gonna be a challenge for him and Musaki turned to him and he said, "Don't worry. She'll get over it."

"I think she'll stay mad at me forever." Max added.

"If I know Tigress, she'll probably feel bad about what she did and maybe she'll apologize for it." Po assured him.

That made Max feel more sad than ever and he walks back to his room and Musaki felt really sorry for him and he followed him from behind and he told him, "Hey, she will apologize to you. But maybe you should apologize to her first. I'm sure that she'll accept it."

"You promise?" asked Max.

"I promise. Let's go back to bed."

Well this is pretty much all I came up with. So I hope this extended scene is suitable to your liking.
