It has been peaceful in the Valley of Peace for a quite a while now. 3 months after the whole ordeal with Shen, Shifu, the Dragon Warrior, and the Furious Five have made their way home to the Jade Palace, them just returning from a mission outside the village. By then, the sun was already setting, the moon was ready to take its place.

"Haaaa.., it's so good to be home. If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen making dinner." Said Po, the big and chubby panda the people know as the Dragon Warrior.

"If it's okay with you Po, think I can assist you with the cooking?" Said the leader of the Five, the one known as Tigress. The others were a bit surprised by this, knowing the feline's 'hardcore' reputation, especially Po, who has a certain crush on the tiger, but was nevertheless happy with the chance.

"Sure Tigress, love to have your help!"

"Pretty sure that's not the only thing you love. Don't you think Po?" Mantis said teasing the two. The two can only blush like a tomato while the others giggled(Viper) and chuckled at the development, including Shifu who only smiled at the two.

Though one of them was in deep thought and that is Monkey, another member of the Five. One question has taken all up his thoughts and that question is...

'Will I ever find love?'

What brought this question to his mind, he doesn't even know. Maybe its the memories of the girls he'd met in his life, maybe its the sight of his two friends having feeling for each other, or maybe...just maybe...it's the thought he has in his heart for a while now.

'I am lonely...'

Sure he has Po, the rest of the Furious Five, and Master Shifu and he is grateful for that. Hell, he is also grateful for his brother too. Sure they may not be that close, but when push comes to shove, he knows he has his back, but they don't fulfill that part of his heart.

He wishes to find that specific 'other' who he can fall in love with and spend the rest of his life with. Have a family and be the best husband and dad that he knows he can be. He looked back at his past relationships and none of them made him feel truly whole.

'Is there even someone out there for me?' Monkey put the thought away for now, for his belly is begging for for food with its low grumbling.

Meanwhile...In a forest outside the Valley

A lone figure was stumbling from tree to tree in an effort to stay upright. She was wounded, waking up inside the forest moments ago and barely escaping from a battle she wouldn't have been able to win or walk away from. The figure seemed simian like in stature, but there are a few key differences. Though her body is covered with brown fur, her head, torso, and lower legs is covered in white fur. Gold armor like markings cover her body, swirled, circular ones on its knees and shoulders flame-shaped ones on the back of its hands, and a stripe around its back that forms two swirls on its chest. The one and most noticeable difference is the flame on her head that will never be extinguished.

She found a suitable shelter in an abandoned wooden shack. She let herself in and herself down on the makeshift wooden bed. Not a few seconds after, the simian was out cold, her fatigue and wounds finally taking their toll. What she didn't know is that the shack wasn't actually truly abandoned, for a simian master goes to the same shack for his own reasons too.
