Aurthor's Note:
Oh my God, the best thing ever happened in my life, I have ordered the 2 discs DVD of Kung Fu Panda, which included 'The Secrets of Furious Five'!! YEEEPPPP! Ever since i watched the trailer of it, I have always wanted to have the most special one.
And you know what? I surfed the internet last night, I discovered that the next Kung Fu Panda movie, the starring only two, is Jack Black and Angelina Jolie, and do you know what that's means? I think that this time there will be a couple, or two couples appeared! Isn't that exciting even just thinking of it?
Chapter 3
Happy Memories Part 1
Meanwhile…Back to the reality
Jade was still holding his position secretly connected in Mantis's mind, and so did Hannah. Lilly and Azure thought that if they had nothing to help, they would like check on Mantis for sure.
When their eyes peeked into the keyhole and saw Mantis was still sitting on the floor sadly and back at them. As far as they could see, they both saw that Mantis was holding something desperately.
"I wonder what it is." Lilly whispered to Azure.
"I don't know." Azure replied silently, but they didn't know that Mantis was holding, was actually a wooden music box.
Suddenly, Hawk accidentally fell on the floor and there was a bump, which snapped the animals and bug awaken. Mantis quickly hid his music box and ran towards to open the door.
"Oh snap!" Azure cursed.
"Hawk, you're an idiot!" Nana criticized silently to Hawk.
"Sorry." He apologized really sorry.
When Mantis tried to open the door he found that it was locked. He frowned as he knocked the door, "Ah…Guys, is this some kind of joke or what? Cause THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!" he furiously shouted.
"Oh man, I don't like him when he's mad." Hannah whimper said.
"Sis, contact with Mom and Dad quickly!" Jade commanded as he summoned the roots from ground to tie Mantis's legs, "I don't how can I keep this any longer, just hurry!" he shouted.
"What the?" the Praying Mantis shocked as roots swirled around his legs.
"Oh, we're so dead! So dead!" Hannah murmured as she started to sweat nervously, 'Oh, Mom, Dad. Hurry up!!' she urged.
Back into Mantis's Memory
When young Mantis had brought Sapphire beside the River of Flows, they sat together on a rock. However, since Sapphire's wings were too huge for space as she needed to learn how to clap together, but it has struggled her as it was hard for her to clap the wings as one.
"Need a help?" Mantis asked.
"It would help." She sheepishly smiled.
Mantis chuckled a while and he stood up and walked beside her which made them closer and when their eyes were close, they couldn't help but blushed. Mantis struggled himself as he backed at his position, Sapphire's face was blushed as red as rose.
"Ohhhhh!" the boys started to tease, even they knew that the young Mantis couldn't hear.
"Oh my." Seth impressed of his little character.
"I know, who knows that Mantis has something with woman, I mean, female bugs." Monkey said and Po and Crane nodded in agreement.
Like Oogway said, there are no accidents, Mantis's antennas accidentally tied with Sapphire's. And for the bugs, it hurts them as a huge headache.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! That hurts, that hurts. Sapphire, you'll untie this thing." Mantis requested.
"What!? Why me? Ouch! Ouch!" before she rejected, she pulled as it caused more pain to both of them.
"Do you want me to use these thingy to untie them?" Mantis then showed her his pincers high, it would easily cut them off.
Sapphire groaned as she has no choice to untie their antennas. But every tie she tried to untie, every inch made Mantis's face close to hers. Mantis's heart started beating faster and faster, he'd never thought that Sapphire has that such a beautiful face than he 'used to be' Sapphire, the face was shining as a diamond and the colour was as pure as pearl, and so as her eyes were like endlessly blue sky, that's how she caught Mantis's heart.
Mantis got dazed and enchanted by her, "Uh, Mantis? Mantis?" Sapphire asked her friend but he didn't reply instead smile charming at her, he was still daydreaming.
"MANTIS!!" finally she shouted, as loud as it snapped him back to the reality from daydreaming land.
"Wh..What?" he weirdly asked.
"I…untied the ties, and when I asked you, you just stared at me." Sapphire replied.
"Oh yea, sorry." He apologized, 'I did that, again? I was so stupid! Never mind, just give her a gift and ask her a simple question, that's all I wanted!' he thought.
"Here, I made it while you were sleeping in the cocoon." Mantis shyly said as he gave her a key necklace.
"A key?" Sapphire asked.
"No, it's not 'a' key, is 'the' key." Mantis proudly said as he showed a music box behind his pincers.
"A box? What kind of surprise you're trying to make, Master Magician?" Sapphire gave him a mischievous look.
"Check this out." He said as he took the key from Sapphire's hand and put it into a keyhole and turned it over, a soft music played and so as it opened slowly with a small wooden butterfly statute was turning around.
"Oh my, Mantis, the music, is it?" Sapphire was gasped in shocked, and so as her eyes were watered.
Although, Mantis didn't said anything instead sang a song softly along with the music which played in the music box.
Hear this song I remember
Sapphire knew this song well, too, because they created the lyrics which it created exactly on December, as she sang with him together.
Soon you'll be home with me
Once upon on December…
Even it's just simple three sentence lyrics to everyone, but to them, it's their song, the one and the only.
When they finished the song, Sapphire yelped as she grabbed the key and hanged around her neck as a necklace, "Oh, Mantis! Thank you, you're the best!!" Sapphire hugged him.
Mantis was blushed a little, "So, you like it?" he asked hesitantly.
"Like it? Like it? I LOVE IT!! This is my best day ever!" she exclaimed and gave Mantis a kiss on his cheek, he was shocked by that.
"So, I'll keep the key and you'll guard the music box." Sapphire declared and Mantis nodded silently with his red tomatoes face.
The boys have spitted their drinks and spits by that scene, Po got nearly choked and the girls so as Master Shifu were all stepped aside have a distance with them.
"Cough…cough, man!" Monkey tried to get some oxygen, and barely speaks or laughs, even he wanted to.
"That was priceless! Did someone get that on tape?" Jack asked excited, and then he stopped talking by the girls' glaring, included Shifu.
"I was kidding! You girls really don't have a sense of humor." Jack added.
Angie and Lucy both smacked Jack's back head, "Ouch!" he cried.
"Shut your big mouth and keep on watching." Tigress and Viper said.
'Man, these four are alike…Oh! I forgot something, they are the same!' the boys thought.
He took a deep breathe and turned his face to his best friend, "Sa…Sapphire?"
"Yes?" she replied.
"You know, since you have changed. Do you think it is suitable to do 'that'?" he shyly asked, as it wondered the masters.
"What is he talking about?" Ana asked and they have no clue of it.
Sapphire didn't reply a moment and she leaned herself close to Mantis, and said with her hands covered his pincers, "Of course, and come on, we promise when we first met! And don't tell me that you're trying to reject it?" she then gave him a suspicious look.
Mantis quickly shook his head furiously, "Of course not, you said we promise, and so we have to stick together with this!" he declared and she smiled.
"Good, now we start now." She said.
"N…Now?"
"When do you want?"
"What? I mean now, of course now, we agreed that we have to practice after you transformed." Mantis said.
"Okay, hope this time will work." She said as she bended herself as a triangle-backward bend. Although, the gang still has no clue of what they were doing, then Mantis grabbed Sapphire's clapped hands and her clapped legs, and now Sapphire was like a shape of…Boomerang.
"Man, Sapphire, you gained some weights?" Mantis complained.
"What's the matter? Is the grandson of the Great Beetle doesn't have enough strength?" Sapphire teased. The Leader was Mantis's Grandfather, a unicorn-beetle, king of insects.
"…" there was a silence for him, it took him 5 seconds to speak, "Now you have crossed the line." He smirked as he clutched her hands and legs.
However, Mantis was born with great strength as he could easily break a stone when he was a baby. He swirled Sapphire along him about 3 times and then he threw her like a Boomerang. At first, it worked. But every Boomerang has the same clichés,' is that they will flew back where the start.
Sapphire tried to open her wings, but it didn't work, she has lost her control and she will hit the ground. Luckily, Mantis flew over to her and gave her a safe landing as he used his body to replace the ground.
When the butterfly hit on the Praying Mantis's belly, they stared to each other and they then sudden burst out a huge laughter of joy. The gang looked at them sweetly.
"Awww…. Isn't he cute when he laughs?" Viper said and Crane stared at her weirdly, "I'm talking about a kid! Right there, he's a kid." She quickly added and saw her husband sighed of relief, she rolled her eyes.
Then, David spotted something, "Yo, who's that Ladybug?" he pointed at a Ladybug who is walking to the direction of Mantis and Sapphire.
"Mantis! Sapphire! What are you doing here?" she demanded to ask.
"Spike." They whispered and added, "Nothing." They denied.
Spike, a Ladybug, the Leader's assistant and also the teacher of the village, "Alright, you two, break it out. Even today is a school day-off, doesn't mean you two can play beside this dangerous river." She said. "Now, follow me, it's getting dark though." She added as she leaded the way.
"Fine, whatever." They murmured in unison.

"Oh, just look at you two. Little romance seeds blossom in the savanna, the Leader will be thrill. Once you get engaged and are one…" Mantis quickly interjected her speech.
"Be what?"
"Engaged. Intended. Happily after." Spike replied innocently.
From that moment, Mantis and Sapphire didn't move but instead exchanged their look, "Meaning?" Sapphire asked for sure.
"One day you two will getting to be married." Spike answered with joy and proud.
