Prologue
Po had always been amazed at how kung fu changes people. He was fascinated only by the warriors, that had remained the good ones, of course. Usually, they were so common, as everybody. Some of them were mysterious, slightly introverted, while the others were even more playful, sociable or gentle than the most of their society. But when it came to fight - they would become completely different - like demons of war - focused, unstoppable, fierce and... graceful.
That is why he had a really hard time learning from Master Shifu how to fight during their first training. Every blow he showed him made Po's heart beat faster. The red panda's fast and firm moves, the shape of his paws, the easiness with which he used his body were enchanting. The panda tried hard not to blush and stare at Shifu like a teenager having a crush.
He hoped Master Shifu didn't notice that. Well, he did notice, but never talked with Po about that. At first, he was confused. Then irritated, abashed and in the course of time - he came to like Po. The panda truly appreciated the things he had been taught and Shifu himself learned some things from his newest student. He realised that in his life he had had his family, his master, foster children and finally his students. But he had never had a friend. Po was the closest thing to a friend he had met. Why? Because Po somehow never treated Shifu like his master, but more like a friend. And even if the red panda tried to think of him as one of his students, it was almost impossible. Things got even more odd, when he started to have strange dreams about their closeness with each other...
