With valentine's day just around the corner, I thought that it'd be cool to do a KFP valentine's day fic where if three friends (Musaki, Zeke and Arizona) each found a valentine for their own while still trying to learn what's special about it. That's what it's for! Inspired by Wonder Panda Tan-Tan's fic, 'Love Bonds'. Enjoy!

Also, Joe 'Po' Navark helped me with this!

Plans for Valentine's Day

by: Terrell James

Chapter 1: About Valentine's Day and a Pact

It was a typical time in the Valley of Peace, every building was filled with hearts and signs that said 'Valentine's Day' and everyone's in a good mood for one reason; it is close to Valentine's Day. The villagers felt the valentine bug crawling all around them as they walked by, greeting each other and wishing them a happy valentine's day.

So it's only natural that somewhere in the Valley, one place definitely knows the feeling of celebrating that holiday; the Jade Palace.

Musaki, Zeke and Arizona were walking across the steps to the Sacred Hall of Warriors to talk with Shifu for a bit and when they entered, they could see him meditating away. But he heard them come in anyway and Shifu said to them, "Hello, boys."

All three of them were surprised that he didn't even look, but already knew that they were in his presence anyway and then, Musaki went first, cleared his throat and he said, "Hey, Shifu...Zeke and Arizona wanted me to ask you something."

Shifu was expecting that to happen, so he only asked, "Oh?"

Musaki didn't know exactly how to put that into words, knowing that it might be just complicated to even leave it up for discussion and he took a deep breath and asked, "Why is everyone in the Valley look so happy all of a sudden?"

Shifu knew exactly the answer to that and he turned to them and he responded, "It's that time. It's valentine's day."

Zeke then went up to Shifu, looking a little curious and somewhat confused on that statement and he asked, "Yeah, but what's so special about it anyway?"

That kind of question shocked Shifu to the biggest extent and then, he turned to Arizona and he had absolutely no clue about that holiday too and he lets out a big exhale and explained to them, "It's that time where you spend it with the ones you love. Young or old, novice or experienced; valentine's day is for everyone. Have you thought about what you'll do this year?"

The thought sorta crossed their minds and all three of them shrugged at that question and Arizona was the first one to respond, "Not really sure."

Shifu then asked them, "Have you thought about dating?"

All three of them felt awkward by that subject, knowing they never had dates before in their lives and they felt that it was such a random question and a random subject as well and they all answered, "Not sure."

Shifu chuckled at them and knows that there is plenty of time for this and said, "No need to worry. You've got only a week left until Valentine's day, so at least try to enjoy it."

The thought of that really set the boys into a little bit of nervousness knowing that they might date some girls and most of them were kinda unsure what might happen sometime because they never dated before. Zeke then asked Shifu, "Have you ever had a date before?"

Shifu froze for a minute and he couldn't believe what Zeke just asked him and it was like something he would never expect him to say and he turned to Zeke and replied, "Yes, I did...a long time ago when I was close to your age. My memory is pretty vague, but I can honestly say that it was something I'll never forget. I can't quite tell you everything, but all I can say is give it a shot because you never know who will be the one for you."

"How will we know?" asked Musaki.

Shifu chuckled at Musaki and then he said to him, "Follow your heart."

Then, he turned to all of them and he said, "You're dismissed."

They bowed to him as they walked out of the door and when they made their way to the Sacred Peach Tree, Musaki said, "That was sorta helpful."

"Yeah, but not fully. I mean, what girl would date someone like me?" asked Zeke.

"And me? I'm not that attractive and girls kinda see wolves as dangerous and bad boy-ish types." Arizona added.

Musaki lets out a heavy sigh and figured that he was gonna take this advantage to figure it out for themselves and they continued on with the conversation as they made their way to the Sacred peach Tree to think this over.

Arizona looked at Musaki for a bit and he said, "Have you ever celebrated Valentine's day before?"

"Sorta. But that was a long time ago. Now I'm just not sure if I'm up for dating." Musaki replied, with hesitation.

Arizona sighed heavily at this and he scratched his head as he contemplated this and he also asked, "You think any girl would date me? I mean...I'm not sure if I'm the right person for it."

"And why not?" asked Zeke.

That subject would eventually drive into Arizona's head and would be a reason for his fear of starting something new and replied, "My past."

"Well...I'm kinda nervous about dating a girl as well and I'm the least person who would just be open about anything. Besides, why would anyone date us?" Zeke explained.

Then, Musaki kinda wondered what if he would find a valentine and what kind of friend would he be if he left Arizona and Zeke out. He was kinda unsure about what would happen if Valentine's day came around and they wouldn't know what might happen if they don't try. He turned to them and he said, "You think you guys would be upset that I have one and you don't?"

Zeke and Arizona looked at Musaki for a second and didn't know how to respond to that question and Arizona responded, "I'd probably be a little disappointed."

"That would be unusual, but I think I'd be the most upset. Besides, I was thinking the same question too." Zeke added.

"Would you be upset if one of us has one and you don't?" asked Arizona.

Musaki bit his lower lip and didn't quite exactly know how to respond to that and he replied, "I don't know."

Arizona sighed heavily and said, "This is getting complicated."

"Okay, how about this? We make a pact that if one of us don't find a date for valentine's day, we'd have fun anyway with just the three of us." Musaki added.

Hearing what Musaki said, Zeke and Arizona decided to accept the pact and they put their hands together and with that, a pact was made. Zeke asked, "We're all in agreement?"

"Yep."

"That way, we won't have to worry about it because we might not know which girl would go out with us." Arizona said.

All three of them completely accepted the pact and they just resumed talking and being that Valentine's day is only a week away, the challenge is...would they ever find a date in time?

So...what do you think might happen next? Find out more! Also, we got nearly 2 weeks until Oscar night! Let's hope KFP 2 wins the Best Animated Feature over Puss in Boots and Rango. Enjoy this new fic and happy valentine's day!
