Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from the movie Kung Fu Panda.

I dedicated this fic and story to my beloved friend here in fanfic: Awerewolf and Luna Goldsun.. You're the best. This hit me like a big rock out of nowhere, so I'm dedicating this to both of you. Most of the scenes are from my story 'Temperance' but a little editing was done.

The one's in Italic are lyrics from the song and listen to the song when you are reading this story. It'll be very nice. I nearly cried writing this part but didn't. Heh...

My funny friend and Me by Sting (Disney: The Emperor's New Groove)

"Guys, guys, I know Tai Lung. He's the first student here and-"Po gulped as Tigress sneered at the fat panda.

"-and the first to master all of the thousand scrolls." Po felt lower and lower as Tigress moved forwards to him.

In the quiet time of evening.
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey.
And we wondered just what happened.

--

To the life we knew before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me and you reminded me.

Tai Lung picked up the scroll with trembling paws. "Finally, the scroll is..mine!"

Nothing.

"It's nothing!" the snow leopard opened and closed the scroll so as his eyes wouldn't deceive his vision.

"It's okay buddy, I didn't get it the first time either," Po picked himself up and dusted away the debris on his delicate fur.

That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter.

"It's nothing. There's only, you." Po said.

And when a simple needs protecting
My illusions all would shatter.

--

But you stayed in my corner.
The only world I know was upside down.
And now the world and me, I know you carry me.

"You?!" Tai Lung laughed menacingly. "He's a panda, you're a panda. What are you going to do big guy? Sit on me?"

--

You see the patterns in the big sky.
Those constellations look like you and I.
Just like the patterns in the big sky.
We could be lost we could refuse to try.

"Tai Lung, what's wrong?" Po moved forward to the Snow leopard.

"Stop! Don't take another step or this will be the last time you'll ever see me or the scroll." Tai Lung was gripping the precious scroll in his paws after he stole it from Po in his room in the Jade Palace.

"Tai! Stop it!"

Tai Lung winced and turned, "Goodbye, Po."

Po screamed, "This is NOT goodbye buddy!"

Tai Lung was already heading for the walls surrounding the Jade Palace to run away but incredibly, Po stood in front of him.

"What?!" the confused snow leopard said. "Impossible. You're …faster than me?"

"I'm the dragon warrior Tai," Po extended his arm. "The scroll."

But we made it through in the dark night.
Would those lucky guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me…

"NO!" Tai Lung roared. "The scroll is everything to me. For over 20 years, the scroll is my only purpose of living. You don't understand a thing about it."

"Yes I do and I understand how you feel as well." Po snapped in.

"You?!" You don't understand anything! For you, everything is easy! Everything drops right in front of you. What's there to understand? As for me, I have to work so hard till my bones breaks all over my body in order to achieve what I want."

Suddenly, Po caught the snow leopard off guard and he hugged and squeezed him hard.

I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure.

"Release me panda!" Tai Lung struggled.

I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure
But you stayed and you called my name.

"TAI!! No! Not unless you listen to me," Po squeezed harder. "Listen to me please. Tai, relax your body, relax…relax….feel you body relax." The big panda swayed left and right in rhythm as the snow leopard was caught in between Po's soft and fluffy stomach and arms.

When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And you could've made it through
But your funny friend and me.

Po slowly played his swaying game and said to Tai Lung in a hushed tone. "Relax buddy, relax and listen."

"I don't want to listen and-and-" the strong warrior was getting calmer and less aggressive as seconds passed by. Finally, the snow leopard was so relaxed and he cried. "Why?"

You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet in a bigger guy.
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
Just like the patterns in the big sky.
We'll be together till the end is nigh.

Po slowly let go and turned his buddy to face him, he saw tears in his friend's eyes and Tai Lung cried on the panda's shoulder.

"Buddy, please understand. I know how you feel."

Don't know the answer or the reason why
We'll stick together till the day we die
If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss.

The warrior still sobbed and said in between tears, "You're a-a funny guy and-and a weird one too."

When the angels sing that that unlikely blend

Po smiled and patted Tai Lung's head, "Yeah, I know and you're my friend. That I know very much." And hugged him hard.

Are those two funny friends
That's us.

My funny friend: Po and me……the snow leopard smiled.

Once again, thank you. Both my friends here in fanfic. Awerewolf and my beta for my story, Luna Goldsun. Luna, sorry if there's mistakes in here. I've just got to do this myself.
