Without further ado, the story!

It was a slow week for recovery for Po but Tigress visited him every chance she got and stayed as long as she could and the others visited as often as they could as well (Tigress was a little more privileged by Master Shifu due to the fact that Po was now her boyfriend.) Mr. Ping visited him every day and Po was sent get well packages by his fans. There was hardly a single second where he was alone.

Finally, after what felt like forever, one day Po and Tigress were talking in Po's room, keeping up to date on everything and enjoying some almond cookies from one of the get well packages, when the doctor, the other four warriors and Master Shifu came in, all with smiles on their faces.

"What's with the smiles?" Po asked.

"Tigress," the doctor began, "Do you want to break the news?" Po looked at Tigress and realized she was smiling too.

"You ready to go home, Po?" she asked. Po smiled and sat up. "I was born ready." he replied.

When Po walked proudly out of his hospital room everyone in the hallway clapped for the living warrior. Po smiled feeling warm inside. The walk outside felt more like a walk down a red carpet and when they got outside, Po felt that even the sun had welcomed him back with its warmth. The doctor left them and they all walked back to the Jade Palace. After the long walk up the stairs, (Po needed to start practicing again) it was nearly dinner time. The others volunteered to cook that night or they could all go to Mr. Ping's, but Po insisted he would do it.

While the five went to finish their training, Po walked into the familiar kitchen with a smile on his face once again. He opened the cabinet which contained the pot he used every time he boiled the noodles. He grabbed the pot but when he pulled it out he discovered how much harder it was to lift it with just one hand not to mention the fact that the cabinet was above his head. He very carefully tried to remove the pot from its space but it slipped, landed right on his head and completely covered his face.

"Well this is just great." Po said to himself. He could hear his voice echo in the pot and laughed.

After managing to get the pot off of his head, put the pot in the sink and fill it with water, he just stared at it realizing how much harder it would be to lift the pot now that it was full of water. After thinking about it he emptied the pot of all the water and carefully brought it over to the stove. He instead decided to fill it little by little by dumping cups of water in one at a time. It was a slower process but it worked out better than the alternative.

Satisfied that he was already working around his one arm situation, he got the noodles and put them in the pot. While the noodles began to boil, Po got out the vegetables, the knife and the cutting board (once again one at a time) and then realized as he was about to start cutting the first vegetable that it would be even harder to cut them then it would be to carry the pot, even with water in it. He tried to just do it the regular way, but when he did the vegetable managed to slide out from under the knife. He kept trying, but no matter how much he focused, he couldn't get the vegetable to stay in one place. Finally it rolled off the counter and onto the floor.

Po grabbed it and put it back on the counter feeling slightly frustrated. Suddenly he smelled something burning and realized the noodles were being overcooked. He quickly turned off the stove and tried to move it but once he did, the pot fell over and hot water and noodles spilled all over the floor. Po grabbed a rag to clean up the mess but when he turned around and walked back over to where he started, he slipped in the water and landed face first in the pile of noodles.

"Po what happened?" he heard Tigress ask. Po lifted his face out of the noodles and realized that everyone had come in to find out what all the banging was about.

"Let's just say, cooking isn't as easy as it used to be." he replied and sat up wiping the noodles off of his face. The five and Shifu helped him clean up the kitchen and after Po cleaned himself up they all went to Mr. Ping's noodle shop for dinner instead.

While they were waiting for their noodles a little later, Po was pretty upset. He had no clue if he was ever going to be able to cook again and if he couldn't even cook, how would he still be the Dragon Warrior? Po then felt someone else take his hand. He looked over to see Tigress and recalled about a week ago when she had told him she would always have his back. Tigress may have been hardcore but she kept her promises. Po smiled at her and about that time their noodles arrived. He ate his noodles knowing somehow he would make it work.
