My OC characters from 'KFP' and 'Surf's Up' sharing moments. A Gizmo/Musaki moment. Really cool!

Chapter 10: Looking at the Stars

Late at night, Musaki and Gizmo were at the Peach Tree of Wisdom, looking at the stars at night. Gizmo asked, "So, do you like coming over here at night?"

"Are you kidding? It's the best place to get when I need to get away from it all." Musaki replied.

"How so?"

Musaki sighed and explained, "Well, I like to go there for several reasons; went something is bothering me, when I need some space or get away from it all, have some peace and quiet, write a few songs, look at the stars, any excuse I find to go to the Peach Tree, it always works."

"Wow. I never realized that. So, why did you move in here?"

"Honestly, I've been living with them for a few months and they're really cool to be around. Sure, they're rough around the edges, but at the end of the day, they're a lot of fun, really caring and nice to be around, like I can almost call them my family. Because before, I was so filled with gloom and despair and loneliness. Almost as if my life is pretty much a lonely and depressing one. Simply, because Tai Lung killed my parents when I was very young and I never saw them again. I was the first one to witness them being dead when I was 6 and it was a hard time for me. I had to fend for myself and it was scary to be out there by myself, until some people from Bau Gu Orphanage came in with open arms and brought me in until I could find a family. After they took me in, I got very lonely and depressed, because I'm not over my parents' death. And the strange thing, I never got to say goodbye to them. I try to get outside to make some new friends, but most of them would tease and taunt me for no reason and that really hurts a lot. So, I stopped trusting people and remained in my room for several years. But, every now and then, I would go make some friends nowadays, which became really hard because of my constant grieving. When I told them about how I ended up here, it's like they can relate to it, like they really understand me and I ended up trusting them. But, that changed a few years later when I was 9 or 10, because they were adopted. I had no friends anymore and I was still not over my parents' death and I kept sulking until I was only 12, when I try to get over it, after spending 6 years of torment and loneliness and I dealt with it very good, almost. Anyways, a year later, I was 13 and some pandas came over here and took me away from the Orphanage and prompted me to put in a place where I can call them 'family', and they know me because they used to know my parents. Soon, they brought me here and I've been living with them for a while. They're cool to be around and to talk to...., well almost everyone. Tigress has never been fond of me and mostly, I think she was doing everything to kick me out of the Jade Palace, but aside from our egos, I think we've come a long way. So, it's nice to have families who are so different and likeable to be around and since they like doing kung-fu, now that it's grown to a cool sport, I've adapted to it even before I came here, I had to learn self-defense, which I consider kinda tiring and dificult, but I got through it and I had to learn some serious kung-fu skills. When I exposed these to Po, Shifu and the Five, they really grew impressed and I got involved in their training and they wanted me to be a part of this family and suddenly, here I am. That's how I ended up here."

Gizmo became awestruck when he heard Musaki's story and whispered, "Wow."

Musaki blinked his eyes and said, "I know, right?"

"I mean, I know how that feels, but I never realized that your parents got killed by Tai Lung. I'm so sorry about that."

"Hey, no big. I know they're not physically here, but I feel their spirit everywhere."

"That's something."

"I know. So, what's your story, Giz?"

Gizmo sits down and explains, "How do I put this? I was born in Los Angeles, California and simply a few hours after my birth, my dad completely got physical and extremely violent towards my mom, of course I was just born at the time. She couldn't take anymore of it, so a day or two after my birth, she gave me up to a friend of hers and I got shipped to Antarctica. After that, my father pushed her in the water and she drowned there a few hours later and after that, she died. Then, I got to this place called Shiverpool, where I was adopted by a small family. That's where I first saw Cody, Glen and his mom. They've been my family for somewhat a couple of years. As I grew up, I enjoyed being with them, especially with Cody and he's been really cool to hang around with. A few years later, I was eight years old and something terrible really happened. A ginormous ice storm has broke through the igloo and the wind was so fierce, it soared me up 80 feet in the air and I floated into space for a while, and after a few hours, I went away from Antarctica to California. When I woke up, I was in a foster home. I still had that picture of Cody and I fear that I would forget all about him and his family, too. Anyways, after I arrived in L.A., I've made several friends there, lived in a foster home, did some serious surfing, skateboarding and music talent. It's cool, but I still miss Cody a lot. Then, when I was 12, I moved to Pen Gu Island, where I saw Cody for the first time in 4 years and we've been catching up where we stopped off at. We were back together ever since."

Musaki became totally surprised by Gizmo's story and asked, "Was that really hard for you?"

Gizmo sighed and answered, "It was hard at first, but I kinda got used to it for a while. I mean, it sucks, but what could I do about it? At least, I got back with Cody and that's all that really matters to me."

Musaki chuckled and realizes that he and Gizmo have the same personalities, and the same stories they had and they have been through a lot. Gizmo told him, "I like looking at the stars, also."

"Shut up! Really?" asked Musaki, excitedly.

"Yeah, man. Every night, I watch the sunset and the stars. It gives me a peace of mind and everything. It's so peaceful, you could think really peaceful thoughts in there."

"That's awesome. I guess we have the same things in common."

"Hey, guys. What you doin'?" asked Po.

Gizmo and Musaki turned around and saw Po and Cody walking to the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom to check on them. Cody asked, "What you doing here, man?"

"Looking at the stars, as always." he answered.

"How's it going, Saki-man?"

"Pretty good." Musaki said.

"Saki-man?" Po asked.

Cody turned to Po and said, "Well, I thought of the nickname. Lil' Saki's cool and all, but don't you think he needs two nicknames?"

"Hey, Musaki? What would you do if someone called you Saki-man?" Po asked.

"I like the new nickname."

Cody smiled at Po and Po laughed softly and said, "You made your point."

"Don't I always?" asked Cody.

Sweet! Great stuff, right? Stay tuned for next chapter!
