Amazing Accomplishment
By: PointyEdgesofaSign
Note: This is the sequel to Magnificent Mistake: Uncut Version, so read that first or this won't make any sense. I own nothing. It's thanks to Awerewolf that I've been inspired to continue this, his kind words make my brain work in ways I never thought it could, and without him I'd be nothing. Thank you so very much, my brother in writing. And please, people, if you want more of this, comment! I can't improve without constructive criticisms!
This is the end of the Magnificent Mistake series, but if I get enough reviews I may do some one shots about little moments that happen in between, and about the pairings I use here.
BTW, if you don't know all the pairings of this series, they are;
Po/Crane
Po/Tai Lung
Po/Tai Lung/Crane
Tigress/Monkey
Mantis/Viper
Ping/Po's real mom(I've decided her name is Sue Lai)
Oogway/Shifu
Tai Lung/Vachir

"Love," murmured a kind voice, sound like absolute warmth, dancing through his form like liquid optimism.
"Love, wake up," it spoke again, a soft appendage, what felt like a wing, pushing softly on his shoulder.
"Come on, Po. You can wake up now. You passed the test."
His eyes snapped open, darting around to survey his surroundings. Blue sky, whispy cumulous clouds hovering overhead, soft, green grass tickling his chest, stomach, legs, arms, and face, causing him to sneeze as a giggling butterfly leapt from his nose to fly a complete circle around the face to whom the warm voice belonged.
"Crane," Po gasped, staring at the bird with wide eyes.
Crane nodded, pressing his forehead against Po's as he transmitted his knowledge and Po understood. Everything that happened to him, it had all been a test to see if he truly understood. He had to do what was best for those he loved, even if it left him with a bad name, even if he was ridiculed for it, because it was right. Po had been tested on his understanding of love.
And he had passed with flying colors.
His father approached him, his mother by his side, the small goose dwarfed by the giant panda, Tai Lung and Vachir holding hands by Ping's side. The Furious Four and Master Shifu stood with Master Oogway, smiling softly at Po as they stayed there, waiting for the inevitable question.
"How are you all here?" asked Po, looking from face to smiling face.
Grand Master Oogway chuckled lightly as he replied, "My dear boy, you have been asleep for nearly a hundred years. You refused to awaken without all of us here, so we waited for each other. But now we are here and we can all move on, together."
Tigress stepped forward, looking utterly ashamed. Head bowed, she whispered, "I am sorry, Master, for my actions. They were uncalled for and cruel, there is no excuse for them, and I get it if you can't forgive me."
Po stood, giving Crane a quick smile, and walked over to the ex-tiger. Placing a curled finger beneath her chin, he tipped her face upward to meet his gaze and explained, "There's nothing to forgive, Tigress. Didn't you hear me thank you?"
She smiled, not smirked, but genuinely smiled, and nodded, hugging the panda male close to her. Glancing over at her lover, Tigress winked and Po suddenly found himself wrapped up in the arms of those he loved, from his father to his mother to Master Oogway to his lover, they all joined in a group hug, breathing a sigh of relief that they were finally a family, once again.
When the hug was broken, a timeless time later, Po turned to Crane and held him, sitting against a tree, whispering archaic lyrics of love songs that time forgot, but not them. They sat there, Crane leaning against Po, without apology, without sorrow, without fear, knowing that they had made the difference. They may not have been great kings, or magnificent war lords, or even be remembered in years to come, but they had found each other, their family, and were together again, that time, forever.
And that was an amazing enough accomplishment for them.
