Chapter 4: Strange Things
At night, every panda is having a good time in the party. We cut to po, who is sitting sadly at the table, while eating dumpling. We cut a flashback, where we see po and Li playing around in the hall of heroes and cut to see two pandas sitting by the peach tree looking at the sun.
"Dad?" po said
"Mmm?" Li said
"We're pals, right?" po asked
Li laughed a little, "right" he said
"And we were always be together, right?" po asked
"Always and forever, my little lotus" Li said
Po fill up with tears of joy in his eyes, before the two pandas hug each other.
We cut out of the flashback and see the fives came to the table.
"Man, is this party great or what?" mantis said
"You bet, buddy" monkey said
"All the cubs are so adorable" viper said
"Yeah" po said, sadly, "It's great"
"Po, is everything ok?" crane said
"It's just... well... my dad is so...different" said po, "It's like I don't even know him."
"Don't worry, po" mantis said, "I can get the same way with my own dad."
"Mantis, seriously?" viper said
"What?" mantis said
"Guys, you should have see him." po said, angrily, "I don't know how he change, but he did changed.
Later, shifu came along with mr. ping, "Greeting, everyone" shifu said, what's going on here?"
"Po is having daddy issues...again" viper said
"Are you alright?, son" mr. ping said
"I don't know, dad" po said, "I just can't stop thinking about my other dad."
"I mean, can't you all see how he was acting."
"My dad got angry at my dad by some noodles, he was being so mean at by cousins, grandma panda and even the kids."
"Well, he did yell at me once " crane said
"See, rude" po said
"But it just because I bump in to him... by accident" crane said
"Aw" po said, angrily, "tigress, you in on this, right?"
We cut to tigress, where she was ticking lei lei and then stop, "huh, what?" she said
"Never mind" po said, being gloomy
"Po, I'm sure there's a big reason why he's acting like this" mr. ping said, touching his shoulder.
"Mr. ping is right, po" shifu said, Someone that you know mostly and became unexpected of who they are, can be a reason of something that need to be done."
"Thanks for the advice, shifu" po said, "But I don't what I saw."
"Your all so focusing of the celebration, that maybe this shouldn't be a celebration." he said, while getting off the table and walk away angrily.
The fives, shifu, and mr. ping just look at each other.
We cut to where every panda is waiting at the table for mei mei's performance tonight.
Right next door is a place, where we see mei mei, who wearing a pink robe with flowers, looking at a mirror, while acting like the crowd who are commenting her, "every panda is gathering around to see (gasp) who is that lady" she said, "she's so beautiful, it's..." Before she about to say her name, she saw po in the mirror, who came in.
Mei Mei quickly turn, "Po" she shouted
"How do I look?", she said, "I look so amazing huh?"
"Yeah" po said, sadly, "look we need to talk"
"I.."
"Ahem" said a voice behind po and mei mei at the entrance .
They turn around and saw a panda coming out from the shadow, "Oh, hi Li" mei mei said
Po just glared at him
"Mei Mei, may I speak with you, alone?" Li said, before walking to a room.
"I'll go see what he wants" mei mei said to po, before following Li.
After mei mei is in the room, Li closes the sliding doors.
"Now listen carefully" Li said, "this is serious"
"Ok, Ok, I'm listening" mei mei said
Po became curious and open the doors slowly enough to take a peek inside.
"I thought I make it perfectly clear not to wear that" Li said, angrily
"But, this is one of my favorite colors" mei mei said
"And?" Li said
"And I should wear this" mei mei said
"Are you disagree with me?" Li said
"Well I guess I am" mei mei said, before having her paw in her head again, "oh"
"Oh my" Li said, "you're not feeling sick are you?"
Li summoned his panda chi to heal mei mei's head, which is green, "there, there" he said, "everything is going to be alright."
Mei Mei's eyes has suddenly turn green.
Po got shocked
After it was done, mei mei's eyes turn back to normal, "feeling better?" Li said
"Uh-huh" mei mei said, while nodding her head.
Po back away from the sliding doors, "oh no"
Po began to run outside, while mei mei and Li got out of the room and notices him.
"Po" mei mei shouted, But she was too late.
"Let him go" Li said, touching mei mei's shoulder, "beside, you have to preform, right?."
After Li left, mei mei became worried about po, "I thought there was something else he wanted to tell me." she said, before heading to the pandas, who are waiting for her to perform.
Once she was here, the twins started the music.
Mei mei felt down that she just standing there.
Everyone don't understand why she isn't doing anything.
"I...I" mei mei said, sadly, "I can't perform tonight, good night"
She quickly ran off and the panda stop the music. Everyone got confused, while bao and his little panda friends follow mei mei.
"Mei Mei" bao shouted, which make mei mei to turn around, "Are you OK?"
"I'm just...worried about po" mei mei said, " there are other things I just don't know"
She sadly walk away for the pandas, who felt sad as well.
