Wan:Um, hi. I'll be doing the introduction for this chapter since I don't know where the author is and DB is sad. We all agreed that we would have one of us introduce and conclude a chapter. Well, enjoy!

The group was finishing the decorating for the training hall. The Wu sisters were making paper snowflakes, while Monkey and Mantis were hanging them. Crane and Viper were putting red, green, and silver ribbons onto the Seven talon rings. Shifu, Po, and Tigress were putting some ornaments onto the green, red and silver that was lining the training hall. They all met up in the middle at the same time. They observed what they had accomplished, along with what DB had already put up. They smiled in satisfation. Shifu spoke, saying, "I belive this looks great."

"Great? THIS LOOKS AWESOME!"

Everyone chuckled at Po's childish antics. Then, a portal opened and there was Informant. "Hey everyone." He looked around at the training hall. He had a look of surprise and amazement. "Did DB do all of this?"

"He did most of it, but we finished it because he's very sad at the moment."

"I can understand that, Wan. Now, when did he start this?"

"He started last night at midnight. At first I was irritated at it, but when he told us what was going on, I accepted it."

"Now, we need your help."

"Let me guess. He wants to have his family here when Christmas comes, correct?"

"Yes."

"Well, Wan, his parents actually want to be here for at least a little time on Christmas for our dimmension, which is actually four days of this dimmension time away. I'm sure they will be happy to be here on Christmas."

"That's great, but what if his enemies decide to attack on that day?"

"Shifu, you probably won't have to worry about anyone, except maybe Diablo."

"Why's that?"

"Because, unlike the guys of this dimension, during the holiday season, enemies don't attack. I'm not sure if Diablo will be like those of our dimension or not. I'll go tell DB's parents about the arrangment. See ya."

Wan stopped him before he left. "Wait! What is the point of that tree?" She pointed to the tree on the field of fiery death.

Informant had a dumbfounded expression. "Who put it on the field of fiery death?"

They all said in unison,"DB."

"Guess he must have thought it was off, or something. Anyway's, that tree is where you put wrapped presents for each other. You may want to get a bigger tree because there will be more than just his parents coming for Christmas here. Any other questions?"

"Ya. What's up with those things?" Monkey pointed to some misstletoe hanging.

Informant tried to supress a laugh. "L-let D-DB tell ya wh-when he gets to fe-eling be-etter." As he left through the portal, he really started to laugh.

Everyone was just confused. "What did he say that was so funny?"

"I don't know, Tigress. I don't know." Shifu was stroking his beard as he thought about this. "Wan, Tigress. Go and get another tree like that one, only bigger and...not burnt."

"Yes, Master Shifu!" The two felines bowed and left. Shifu walked towards the barracks.

barracks

Shifu walked down the hallway to DB's room. He could hear some soft crying from the other side of the door. He opened the door to see DB curled up, facing away from the door. Shifu walked up to him and noticed one of DB's paws was covering his face as he cried. Shifu placed his hand on DB's shoulder. "DB, I have some good news. Your parents will be here for both their Christmas and ours."

DB quickly turned around and picked up Shifu into a back breaking hug, saying,"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! THIS IS GONNA BE THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS EVER!"

Shifu gasped out,"You're welcome. Could you put me down? I can't...breath!"

"Oh sorry." He immediatley put Shifu down and rubbed the back of his head. "I got a little carried away. Now, let's finish decorating the Training Hall!"

"We already have."

"Oh. Well, that was really the last place I had planned to decorate."

"Why don't we just decorate all but one room? We need to leave one room for the Winter feast. It may only start there, but it is still needed to look like the Winter feast."

"Understood. I'll make more Christmas lights. Oh, we also need a new tree. I'll take Wan and get one."

"I've already sent Wan and Tigress to get one."

DB stared at him. "Seriously? That tree is not native to China. Nor any tree like it. I'll go catch up with them and take them to where there is a tree like that." he took off faster than Shifu could respond.

Woods, outside the Valley of Peace

Wan and Tigress had stopped, because they had just realized that that kind of tree wasn't native to China. "Where do you think DB found that tree?"

"I'm not sure."

"Your boyfriend must really be dedicated to this holiday to find a tree that doesn't even grow in China."

At that exact moment, DB ran into Wan. They ended up smashing their lips together, though they didn't mind. They went straight into a kiss when they realized what happened. When they seperated, DB said,"I'll make a portal to get us to where some of those trees grow." He made a portal, and when they stepped through, they came out in a place much colder. The kind of tree they needed was all around. "Let's pick one."

Tigress pointed one that was perfect for the increased gifts and was pefect in how it looked. "How's this one?"

DB smiled and said,"Perfect." He then pulled out a katana and chopped it down with one swipe, though it was perfectly horizontal, so it didn't fall. DB lifted it up and walked through the portal with it.

At the Jade Palace

Those that were left were working hard to get the rest of the Jade Palace decorated. They all had a different part of the palace to decorate. Monkey and Mantis got the rest of the training area. The Wu sisters decorated the barracks whith Crane and Viper. Po was decorating with Shifu at the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. The three came through the gates, and DB sat down the tree. He looked from behind it to see if anyone was there. "Let's see where everyone is decorating. I'll go to the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom Tigress, go to the Barracks. Wan, go to the training area outside the training hall." The two felines nodded and they went to their designated areas.

Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom

DB ran up to see a quite beautiful sight. The had three ribbons strung through the branches and down the trunk. They had strung up misstletoe on one of the branches. They also had some paper lanterns in the tree. Some ornaments were hung both from branches and the ribbons. With the light reflecting off of them, it was so beautiful. "This is great."

"I see you're feeling much better."

"Well, you have Master Shifu to thank for that. Anyways, we have the tree. Where do you want it put?"

"Definently not on the fiery field of death."

The three laughed. "I wasn't really think about the 'fiery' part of its name."

Shifu chuckled before saying,"Obviously. Let me see it so I'll know where it would be best placed."

in the palace courtyard

Shifu studied the tree. It was too big to really go inside any room except the Sacred Hall of Warriors. "Is it really needed?"

"Well, it is tradition."

Shifu stroked his beard. He knew that breaking tradition wasn't always well excepted. He also knew that he would be questioned by the other masters about it. Tigress asked Shifu," Would it really be all that bad if the other masters seen this? I'm sure they would understand."

Shifu nodded. He did take that into consideration. The rest of the group started to come out to look at the tree. Crane said,"That's a big tree. Is it really needed to be that big?"

"Well, if we want to have all the presents under it, yes."

Shortly after he finished speaking, the palace doors flung open. Masters Croc and Ox came through. They noticed the tree, which distracted them long enough for the Wu sisters to hide. Ox asked,"What's with the tree?"

"Well, my pupil here," Shifu motioned towards DB, who waved, and then continued,"is from a dimension where they celebrate a holiday known as Christmas. A tradition in the holiday has this tree to put presents under."

Croc asked,"Where are you going to put it?"

"We don't know yet. We really don't want to interfere with the Winter feast. I really don't care where it's put, just as long as I can have Christmas."

"Well, why not just put it up in a corner of the Sacred Hall of Warriors? You can have it out of the way, and I'm sure the other masters won't question it too much."

Shifu knew that Ox had a good point. "Alright."

"So what's this wolf's name?"

Everyone said at once,"He's a coyote, not a wolf."

"My name's DB." He bowed to them and said,"It's alright that you mistook me for a wolf. It's a common mistake."

The other two bowed back. "Do you need help getting it in there?"

"Na. I got it." DB lifted it up like he had done before, surprising the two masters. They entered the hall, and DB set it down in one of the corners. He then wrapped a white cloth around it. Then he got a frustrated look on his face. "I'll be right back." He ran out.

"I wonder what he's after."

"We just learned about this holiday ourselves, so we have no idea."

They waited about fifteen minutes. DB entered with a bucket of water and some sticks and a piece of bamboo. He held up his hand to keep them from speaking. He got the bucket to stand on some of the sticks. He then stuck one end of the bamboo into the tree, near the base. The other end was stuck through one side of the bucket, but the water didn't spill. "Now, the tree will stay alive until after Christmas. Let's get to decorating it. I'll make Christmas lights. Po and Tigress," He handed them several buckets of popcorn,"make strings of popcorn." He then handed them two needles and spools of thread. "Viper, put this blue thing on it, don't know what it's called. Need more, I'll give ya more." Viper took it and started coiliing up the tree. "Monkey, put these bows on there." He handed Monkey several bows. "Mantis, put on these candy canes. The extras, we'll eat. The rest of you, work on getting these ornaments on it." They all did as they were assigned. They didn't see how DB was making the lights, they just seen he was. Once Viper had finished her job, she started putting the lights on in the same fashion. They last of it was done after about an hour. "Now for the finishing touch."

Shifu asked,"What is the finishing touch?"

DB took out a star and pointed at the top. "Crane would you like the honor of putting the tree topper on?"

"I think you should. I'll give you a lift."

"You sure?"

"Ya. This is all for you and you said it was an honor." Crane grabbed DB by his shoulders and flew him to the top. It was placed perfectly. They landed and everyone marveled at the tree. The Wu sisters were hiding in the hall and marveled at it as well. "That is the second most beautiful sight I've ever seen." Viper gave Crane a peck on the cheek for his comment.

"This is definently going to be one of my best Christmas's ever."

*Informant comes in speaking almost in a whisper" Informant:Hey guys. I'm doing the closing. I know Wan's supposed to do it. I'm so glad I'm her boyfriend's best friend. Otherwise I'd be dead.
