Chapter Eight: Modern Messes

As the sun started to set over the city the animals had returned to the hotel with Croc and Ox in tow. Both of the two warriors were changing channels of the TV and were confused as they changed channels. "How do they fit tiny people into these cubes?" Croc asked as he turned to a channel with a Looney Tunes marathon on it "Most of all, how do they know who's next and who isn't?"

Meanwhile Al-ho, Dylan, Sophie and Yu-pa were again with their family Grandma Abigail and Grandpa Chuck. The three were all talking about something when Al-ho and Yu-pa approuched "Oh Ash, Dawn, we're so glad you're here." Abigail said "You're just in time to talk about the future of your children."

"You mean Garu and Pucca?" Al-ho asked "But we've already planned it out with them, they want to grow up to be kung fu masters like us." "No no, i mean proper schooling." Abigail said "Like English, Latin, Frence, Spanish, Geogropthy, biology, sciance, math, all the entire good things in life."

"But won't that be a headache?" Yu-pa asked "I mean, learning all those things in one school? How can they focus one one thing?"

"They don't have to do that until they've hit middle school to high school." Chuck said "In the mean time we're going to put our grandchildren to the kindergarden school your parents didn't live long enough to actually get to do themselves."

"Kindergarden?" Dylan asked "As in, a public school in a high school?"

"Yes, the very same high school that Ash and Dawn's parents use to attend. What's the matter with that?" Abigail asked "You look like you don't want your kids to go."

"Well," Sophie started "You see Garu and Pucca aren't really just the cute and cuddly types." "Where are they anyway?" Al-ho asked "Johnny already took them to the school for their first day." Chuck said "We were going to tell you but we couldn't find you."

"WHAT?" the four asked in shock.

Garu and Pucca were in a class room and on bean bags as they tried to take a nap. The problem was that they didn't want to take a nap, they wanted to explore the school. They snuck away with their kung fu skills and left the class to explore the entire school. The entire grounds were huge and the two had to hop over a few buildings to get to a new one. When they arrived at a large building where they saw a group of teens doing something they overheard was called a 'Service project'.

The project was about helping move a piano into the music room but the three couldn't even last five seconds carrying such a heavy cargo. It was then Garu and Pucca lept down and picked up the piano with ease, with only one hand and they carried the instrament away while the teens stood there in shock as they watched the kids carry something they couldn't handle into the class filled with students who stopped playing as they gasped in shock.

Garu and Pucca placed the piano in the center of the room and Pucca said "Hiya, what's this thing you wanted in here?"

Crane was on his date with Arizona, this time she was dancing around with head headphones on her head. Unknown to either of them Tai Lung was watching them with a smile on his wicked face.

"Why are you dancing around with those things on?" Crane asked "They play my favorite music." Arizona explained before she handed them over to 'Chris' "Wanna try them on?" "Well... ok." Crane put the headphones on his head and herd music of which he had never heard before while Arizona picked up a book about stars.

Tai Lung muttered a spell and blew a handfull of powder into the building and it touched Crane.

The moment it did Crane started to turn back into his true self, much to Amizona's shock and horror as the human clothes the bird wore started to slip of his skinny body and so did the headphones. Crane felt his long neck once again and gasped when he looked at himself in the window. He turned to Arizona and tried to speak but all that came out was a loud squak, like a regular crane. "You're not a man, you're a bird!" Arizona gasped as she ran away while Crane tried to speak and reason with her but he only ended up squaking like a normal bird.

Monkey was having the same problem when he tried to take a picture of Kimberly at a wedding party after the 'i do's were made when he transformed back into a monkey and his speech was replaced with monkey chatter while Kimberly ran away from him in horror, knowing the truth of who, or what, she was really dating.

Mantis was holding a beach ball as he played volley ball with Wendy when he started to change back into a mantis. Wendy screamed and ran away as Mantis tried to speak but no words came out.

Viper and Peter were looking at Chirsmas decorations when suddenly Viper changed back into a snake, much to Peter's shock and he ran off while Viper tried to speak but all she could do was hiss like a normal snake.

Tigress changed back into a tiger at the worse possable time, right in front of Tex and his entire school as they presented pictures to them. Tigress tried to speak but all she could to was growl like a regular tiger while Tex and everyone else ran for their lives.

Po transformed back to his true self right in the middle of May's apperance in a soccer feild with girly girls and tomboyish ones. Everyone was so scared and shocked they ran for their lives before Po could even explain. He tried to speak but the only thing that came out of his mouth were bear growls.

Back in the hotel Shifu was meditating on his bed when suddenly he felt something, something that made him gasp and he looked at his once human arms, only now they were back to being panda arms then he felt something else...

"Shen and Tai Lung are back!"
