Well...here it is! The Jade Palace Christmas Ball. Not much like the Winter Feast, but it's awesome.

Chapter 21: The Night of the Christmas Ball

Later that day at the Jade Palace, the masters are gathering some last-minute preparations for the holiday event; gathering the food, musicians, decorations and making sure it's all spiffy for tonight and Shifu wanted to make sure everything goes according to plan and that it'll be pulled off without a single hitch.

Meanwhile, Musaki gets himself ready for the ball and this is very first time being a part of something that's outside of what he's used to and after freshing up, he puts on his holiday outfit and as he looked in the mirror, he definitely knew he saw someone different...and never thought that he was that good-looking.

"Well...that looks exactly like me. I hope that this ball is worth it." Musaki added.

"It already is."

Musaki turns around and by his surprise, he saw his girlfriend Summer walking in his room and so many feelings came into mind as he looked at her with her grey and red dress and he knew he had saw something beautiful standing right in front of him and he could not keep his eyes off of it. He said, "Hey, Summer. What brings you here?"

Summer comes towards him, a little shy and she replied, "I heard that you're having a Christmas Ball here and I thought that I might be able to come in and attend. And also come to dance with you."

So many awkwardness have come in between the two of them and Musaki was a little bit shy, but when he looked at her in the eyes, he could not turn away from the most beautiful sight he's ever seen and Summer said, "You don't think it's...too much, do you?"

"Too much what?" asked Musaki.

He quickly realized that she was talking about her dress and he saw absoultely nothing wrong with it and he replied, "No, it's great. Not too much at all."

Summer quickly lets out a little giggle and her confidence almost boosted up a little and asked, "You think it's perfect?"

"I know it is. But there's one more thing missing." Musaki added.

Just then, he quickly brought in a rose and he gently placed it over her head and with once it was set it, Musaki then said, "Now it's perfect."

"I thought you didn't care about perfection." Summer stated.

Musaki lets out a smile and he said, "I still don't. But I meant this moment with you and me...definitely perfect. You don't have to change anything about yourself nor who you are to have my approval. You being beautiful the way you are...it's enough for me."

Summer smiled at that and placed her arms around him and as their lips were about to come in contact, in comes Po bursting in the room and he sees both of them together and he comes in saying, "Lil' Saki! I knew you had a way with the ladies!"

Musaki lets out a scoff at this and all Summer did was say, "Hi, Po."

"Hey, Summer. We're about to start in a few minutes. Now, Musaki...behave yourself and don't get caught in the mating game." Po said, in a sly tone.

"Po..." Musaki said, in an embarrassed tone.

Po immediately got out of the room, leaving the teenage panda couples still standing there and Musaki rolled his eyes at that and he said, "Don't pay him any attention. He doesn't know what he's talking about."

"How do you deal with him?" asked Summer.

"Beats me."

Soon enough, Musaki opens the door and he gladly escorts Summer on his way to the Hall of Heroes to enjoy the best Christmas Ball ever and with their arms around each other, nothing could make this any less perfect.

Meanwhile, Arizona was getting prepped up for the event and as he puts on his holiday outfit, he knows he looks dressed for the occasion, but is still a little shy because he had no experiences on dancing with a girl and he groomed his fur and spiky hair to make sure he would look perfect instead of looking like a scruffy canine.

"Hi, Arizona."

Just then, Arizona turns around and sees Sierra, wearing a red and silver dress, in which gleams from the sight of the moon and Arizona widened his eyes to see how beautiful it looks for the first time and his heart began to beat a million miles per minute, palms are getting sweaty and all of those feelings he had were easily coming out of him. He walks over to her and he said, "Sierra...you look...really beautiful."

Sierra smiled at that and she told him, as she's looking at his outfit and said, "You don't look bad yourself."

"Um...thanks." Arizona said, scratching the back of his ear.

The grey wolf was definitely feeling smitten by his mate's beauty and Sierra said to him, "When I found out that the Jade Palace was having a Christmas Ball, I definitely wanted to surprise you. Because it's my three favorite things in the world; Christmas, dancing and to add it all...you."

Arizona was definitely blushing at that and he definitely felt awkward but it was a sweet awkward to go with it and he said, "It is?"

"Yes. I'm not overdoing this dress, am I?" asked Sierra.

Arizona examined her and he found absolutely nothing wrong with it and he said, "No, it's beautiful to me already."

Now it was Sierra's turn to be blushed back and she was definitely shy about how she would be complimented as and Arizona definitely gave her the biggest one of all. She then responded, "Thank you. I didn't really think that I would come here looking like I just rolled out of my closet to find it and hopefully to gain your approval of it and..."

She was soon cut off by Arizona's finger in her lip and he said, "No really, it is beautiful. I couldn't think of anyone else to be seen with other than you."

Sierra and Arizona were gazing at each other's eyes for a second and as they got closer, they started kissing together in the lips and overtime, it was a very passionate kiss that seemed to last a little while. After they broke off for some air, they looked at each other with a 'did that just happen' moment and they were chuckling nervously.

"I guess we should...get to the..." Arizona stammered.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too." Sierra added.

Both of them were about to head for the door and Sierra accidently bumped into Arizona, just giggling nervously and said, "Sorry about that."

"No, you first." Arizona said.

They both ended up walking together on the way to the Hall of Heroes, paw in paw and Arizona was completely enchanted to have the honor of having his girlfriend to the ball.

Hope that kiss wasn't too...much for ya! The full ball is coming up! Merry Christmas to everyone!
