Chapter 14- Soundtrack
Everything was returning to normal in the Valley of Peace. Shen and Genji had returned to their home in the Northern Mountains, but swore that they would return to the Valley to visit their daughter, her husband, and their granddaughter. Ming also returned to his home in the east, where he had a small farm, and according to him, a girlfriend.
Lian, however, stayed in the Valley and stayed in the room Po had once lived in, helping in the shop to earn his keep. Shifu had adapted quickly to being a father, and Tigress a mother. Instincts, I suppose. Po and Viper were also quick to be good godparents.
In fact, Po was stuck babysitting Angel, as Tigress had begun training again to lose the extra weight from being pregnant. He was sitting in the nursery that they had constructed with Angel in her cradle. Po once again had his earbuds tucked in his small ears. The earbuds were pouring the music into his ears. But the music was drowned out by Angel's shrill crying.
Po jumped at the sound of it. "No, no, no! Don't cry!" He picked her up and gently started rocking her. She continued crying. "Here, you want to listen to some music?" he offered, gently placing the earbuds in her already large ears.
Almost immediately, she stopped crying. Po grinned. "Po: one. Angel: zero!" he declared happily. Angel started crying again. "Oh, I didn't mean for that to offend you! Sorry!" She continued on crying.
Po thought as hard as he could for a minute. "Do you want me to change the song?" he asked, not being able to think of anything else. Angel's crying softened a bit. "Alright, don't worry, Uncle Po is here to save the day. What song would you like? Stairway to Heaven? We Will Rock You? Oh, I know! I'll show you corset-rebellion-follower's playlist for A Reminder! She has great taste in music, there has to be something you'll like on there!"
Po flipped to the playlist and put the screen in front of Angel's face.

"So, what will it be, Angel?" Po asked. Angel took the iPod out of Po's hand and threw it against the wall. It smashed into a thousand pieces. Po sighed. "Well, there goes my entertainment."
"PANDA!" Po quickly took the earbuds out of Angel's ears. "What do you think you're doing?" Shifu asked angrily.
"Um… exposing Angel to the wonderful world of music?" Po offered.
"Po! I told you no putting these in her ears! They're very sensitive!" Tigress scolded, coming into the room and picking up the white earbuds.
"I was just trying to give her a little culture! Did you know that babies can hear things while they're in the womb? That's why a lot of couples play classical music while the wife is pregnant," Po said.
"Yes. But putting on heavy metal does not have the same effect, like you did at three in the morning!" Shifu yelled.
Po grinned and placed Angel delicately in her cradle. "Um…. I have to go cook dinner!" He ran out of the nursery as fast as he could.
Shifu sighed and shook his head. "When will that panda learn some responsibility?" he muttered.
"Look on the bright side. At least he can't blast heavy metal anymore," Tigress said, pointing to the now-useless iPod.
A/N: Oh, I'm so sad! I really had fun writing this. I am considering making it a trilogy. That is, if I can think of a plot line and if I don't get too consumed with my other Kung Fu Panda fan fic ideas, of which I have lots! Seriously, if you liked this story, Author Alert me so that if there is a third one, you'll know! And my other future Kung Fu Panda fics! Seriously, I have a bunch of ideas compiling in my mini 'fanfiction ideas' notebook. But if you want to see a threequel, then please review or PM me and I'll see what happens! And before I sign off, there are some people I want to thank. 1. mSnitta: Your spicy reviews kept me writing and laughing! Thanks so much! 2. Vigilance: thanks for always reviewing! 3. Wolf Mystic: thanks for always replying to my reviews of The Love of a Leopard. It really made my day. 4. Kippis05: I'm so glad I could be your inspiration! It was an honor! Well, I think that's everyone... oh, wait! Thank you to everyone who wrote a serious and nice review of my story (I got a really weird and gross one, though), and thanks to everyone for reading! Holla!
