Chapter 1: Excitement

A bright and sunny day in the Valley of Peace and what made the excitement more special is the fact that there's a big amount of happiness bursting in for the Bushido-Akio clan that Mako and Reiko are getting engaged to be married at Shanghai Secluded Valley and everyone in the family is really looking forward to this. At the house, Cody walks back there and as he came in, he saw Mako and Reiko just walking by and he said, "Hey, dad...everyone from Shanghai sent us a lot of good lucks to you guys."

Mako was definitely surprised to hear this and suddenly, Cody shows them a whole lot of scrolls from residents of Shanghai Secluded Valley wishing Mako and Reiko best of luck, which surprised the couple and Mako said, "That's a whole lot of congrats."

"I'll say." Reiko agreed.

The rest of the kids come by and so did Reiko's eight children walked by and Tae Kwan Do said, "Hey, what's going on?"

"We've got a whole lot of thanks from everyone from Shanghai wishing us the best of luck." Reiko answered.

Mako chuckled softly and he said to her, "This is definitely gonna change our lives for the better. All those months of planning...it's gonna pay off pretty soon."

"I agree." Reiko said, smiling.

"Hey, dad...you want us to leave you alone?" asked Bang.

Mako lets out a little laugh and he looks at the kids and replied, "You're good."

"Okay...well, whatever the case, I'm really glad that you guys are gonna get married." Logan replied.

Reiko was actually very surprised to hear that they're excited about being a stepmom and she said, "Really? Normally any kid wouldn't like someone their parents are dating to get married and fill in, assuming that we take over."

"We're not like that at all. We always give people a chance and if they're happy with that one person, there's no reason not to support them." Crash added.

"What he said." Kango stated.

"You know, when I was dating your mother...you guys weren't very fond of me at first because you were still coping with the loss of your father." Mako stated.

Kango had to admit that he had felt that way from the start and he said, "Yeah, we weren't cool with it at first...but after meeting a few of your kids, I pretty much got used to it and we've become close friends since."

"Almost like we're brothers." Bang replied.

"It did take some time, but we came a long way." Reiko agreed.

"When are you guys gonna be married?" asked Zacharias.

Mako picks up Zacharias and sits him on his lap and just patted his head and replied, "Soon, Zach. Very soon."

"Okay."

Mako turns to Cody and told him, "I'm assigning you, Samurai, Tsunami, Musaki and Arizona to be my best men at the wedding."

Cody chuckled softly and he was very excited to be in a position where he and his brothers, cousin and wolf cousin would take part in it and he said, "I'll make sure to let them know."

Max then walks by and he asked, "What you guys doing?"

Reiko looks up at Max in the eye and replied, "Planning out our wedding, sweetie."

Max became very excited to have Reiko as his panda mother and Mako looks at him and asked, "Hey, Max. I got a job for you to do at the wedding."

"What's that?" asked Max.

"How would you like to be our ring bearer?" asked Mako.

Max rose his eyebrows in confusion at this and he asked, "What does a ring bearer do?"

"He carries out the rings in a pillow and he gets called to bring them out to the bride and groom so they can put them on their fingers." Mako replied.

"Sounds cool." Max replied, happily.

Soon enough, Musaki and Arizona came in the house and Musaki said, "Hey, we came here to see our future aunt and cousins."

Reiko started laughing at this and she looked at Musaki and said, "We've only got a week, Musaki."

"How are you guys doing?" asked Arizona.

Mako lets out a smile and said to him, "Just fine. I'm actually glad you're both here."

Musaki and Arizona looked at each other for a second and Musaki asked, "What for?"

"I know you guys are coming to the wedding for our support and I've got a job for you guys. How would you two like to be the best men?" Mako asked.

Their eyes lit up to the fullest extent to know that they're gonna be not only invited to the wedding, but a part of it as well and to have the honor of being the best men really made them amped up for the responsibility that comes with it. Musaki replied, "It would be an extreme honor."

"We'd love that." Arizona added.

Mako smiled at this and he said, "That's great. Samurai, Cody and Tsunami will the best men as well."

Samurai was completely looking forward to that as well and he said, "We're up for the challenge."

"When we leaving?" asked Musaki.

"The wedding's in about a week, so we might have to leave for Shanghai Secluded Valley tomorrow." Mako replied.

"Coolio. We need to let the masters know about this." Arizona added.

"Let's tell them now." Musaki replied.

Wonder how will the masters react to this? You'll see pretty soon!
