Summary: Shifu and Po have a quiet moment while the rest of the world sleeps.
Author's Notes: This was a lot of fun! It killed me having to get rid of some sentences here and there, but I really think I kept the ones that were important to the actual story.

The night was quiet. Clouds lazed across the sky, crossing out the moon. The town was dark, not a soul awake. Even the Jade Palace, overlooking the town, was silent. Yet, the same was not true for the owner.
The owner, a red panda, was standing under the sole peach tree, gazing at the valley below...
Inside the palace, there was another panda who was awake. He had been able to sleep for a few hours, but couldn't get back to sleep. Deciding a snack was needed, he got up and headed towards the kitchen, hurriedly crossing the floorboards that only squeaked for him.
Finding the new place where Monkey had hidden his cookies, Po went outside, feeling like he needed to be somewhere. Unsure, he just started walking. His mind drifted as he walked, watching the moon, which still had not come out.
"Po?"
It wasn't until he heard his name that the panda realized he had stopped. He also realized where he was. He had wandered over to the "Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom" and it's ledge over-looking the valley.
The same place where Master Shifu was.
The red panda was watching him, annoyance and concern on his face at Po's lack of response.
Seeing that he finally had Po's attention, he asked him what he wanted.
Po's answer was simple. "Couldn't sleep."
Shifu shook his head, and turned back to the valley, his mind still on his bemusing thoughts.
Po, not thinking that Shifu might have wanted to be alone, sat down.
Shifu's ears flicked at this, his mind trying to figure out how one panda was able to make such a difference in his world.
He couldn't help but notice Po's smile as the clouds cleared, covering the valley in soft moonlight.

Hopefully, I'll have the next one-shot up soon.
On a different note...I am taking requests! PM if you're interested. I'd prefer it to be for a fandom I am familiar with, however. If it is not, I will decline and let you know that I am not accepting your request.
