A/N: Happy Fourth to all my fellow Americans!! :D

EDIT: I decided to change the last line after realizing that the statement was a little OOC of Crane! Thanks Mercury, you were right ;) I like this ending better anyway, I was always on the fence about that line! Lol 3

"So… what do you guys think?" Crane muttered.

Tigress, Viper, Monkey, Mantis and Crane, better known as the Five, were leaning against the dojo wall, taking a break after 4 rigorous hours of training. They were currently watching Po and Shifu sparring at the far side of the room.

"I think you're out of your mind," Tigress replied, picking at a stray hair on her shirt.

"Tigress, look at them! I'm serious! They touch each other way too much!" Crane hissed.

"It's hand to hand combat, stupid! Of course they're going to be touching!" Viper cried.

"I'm not talking about now, I mean when they're doing just day to day, ordinary things!" Crane said. Monkey nodded.

"I did see Master Shifu touch Po's hand at dinner when he was passing the rice balls," he said.

"Yeah, I think Crane's on to something there, Tigress," Mantis said, hopping up onto Monkey's shoulder.

"But Master Shifu is so… small," she said, wrinkling her nose.

"So?!" Mantis replied defensively.

"She means there is such a huge size difference," Viper said. "And Po is so much younger! I mean, how old is Shifu anyway?" Monkey rolled his eyes.

"Well, he's no spring chicken, but he's not Master Oogway either!" Mantis and Crane snorted loudly. Viper slapped Monkey on the back of the head with her tail.

"Master Shifu can't be that old. After all, he was very young himself when he started training Tai Lung, and that wasn't too long ago," Tigress said.

"Yeah, but Po is even younger than us!" Viper cried.

A sudden shout drew their attention to Po and Shifu. Po was lying flat on his back, clutching his side. Shifu rushed to where the panda lay, asking him something in a low tone. Po nodded and tried to sit up, wincing. Shifu tenderly rubbed his hand between Po's ears, whispering something. Po chuckled and brushed his nose with Shifu's. The panda suddenly noticed the five sets of eyes that were watching them from across the room, and stood up, laughing nervously. Shifu brushed himself off and looked towards the Five.

"Let's call it a night," he said, and helped Po hobble out of the dojo.

"Well, that confirms that suspicion," Monkey murmured. Tigress's eyes were as wide as teacups.
