Kendra was going on her endless journey for a home. She's been to every nook and cranny but has yet to find a home, although, she hasn't checked out the Valley of Peace. She's heard many tales connected to the valley, such as the Furious Five and their talent of kung fu. They're also celebrating the await of the new 'dragon warrior'.
Kendra was a 9-year-old lion. She was wearing a simple brown coat, with some baggy shorts. The youth was horribly thin, probably from the limited food in her travels. She probably looks strange in this new region, but what region was she from? She couldn't remember
She made it through the bamboo paths and entered the village. She was amazed at how peaceful it looked, they weren't kidding from the name. Her stomach twisted, it lashed out for food. Fortunately, there was a noodle shop nearby.
She entered to see a large panda serving, very poorly in her opinion. He crashed into tables and made messes everywhere. Kendra just shrugged and went to the counter to get whatever she can eat, it didn't matter what it was.
She found a goose working at the front counter. She quickly looked through her oversized bag on her back, finding a small amount of money. She handed over her money to the goose, who gave her a skeptic look.
"Young lady, this is not enough." Kendra nodded and searched for more money. She used all of it, no more. Her face became filled with dread. She was about to apologize and leave, but the panda from earlier intervened.
"Dad, Cmon! Look how thin she is, she needs the noodles! Can we just let her have it for free?" Kendra raised a brow. These two are related?
"Po, this is a business, not a charity!"
"Dad, please!" Po pleaded. The goose groaned and gave up trying to suppress Po's pleads.
"Fine, Po! But only this time!" The goose handed Kendra her meal.
"Thanks, sir! This means a lot!" Kendra smiled and went to find an empty table. She was eating alone.
Kendra was eating quietly to herself before she felt a tap on her shoulder, it was a killer whale. She looked the same age as Kendra, same with her buddy. She was a mountain hawk eagle.
"Hey, you seem lonely. You want to hang out with us?" The whale offered.
"Sure! I need to finish my noodles though." The whale sat down next to Kendra.
"So, what's your name? I mean, not many lions come through here often."
"The name's Kendra, but you can call me 'Ken'. What are your names, you lovely gals." The whale playfully giggles, while the eagle had a flustered blush.
"Mine's Yao Su." Yao Su points to her bird friend; "She's Xia Wei."
They all went traveling around the village, hoping to conquer their boredom before the 'dragon warrior' was chosen.
The trio stumbled upon two boys being threatened by a group of older pigs. One was a tiger shark who had received a bad scratch on his right eye but was still trying to protect his lionfish friend. They stood their ground, but they were clearly struggling. Before the girls could think, they charged at the attackers.
Kendra blocked a sluggish punch from the biggest pig, she quickly tripped him. The pig fell on his face, getting another hit on his head from our young lion. Yao slammed her full body weight (she's not very skinny) and sent another pig grunt to the ground. Xia is flying circles around the last pig grunt, before kicking him into a wall.
The pigs got scared from the beat down and ran away. Kendra quickly got Yao up from the ground (she fell over from her own attack). Man! she's heavy! Yao, thankful for the assist, gave Kendra a bear hug. The skinny girl could barely handle her weighty friend.
"Thank's for the save. You girls are something else" The shark replied. The lionfish nodded in agreement.
"No prob. Those guys were a bunch of jerks." Kendra quickly replied, while being released from the love, death grip.
"I'm Feng Wu." The shark said, with a toothy grin.
"Geez, um, I'm Zhao Lei." The lionfish said while twiddling his fingers. He was clearly nervous.
The misfit kids realized they were going to be late to the celebration, so they sped away for the festival.
Their bonds were forever connected that day
