I DON'T OWN DREAMWORKS OR KUNG FU PANDA! GOSH, QUIT REMINDING ME!

Anywho...

I feel like this could be the introductory to KFP 4. Well, if DreamWorks ever decides to confirm whether or not they're making one...


A crowd had gathered in Mr. Ping's restaurant, 'Dragon Warrior Noodles and Tofu.' There was a combination of pigs, bunnies, geese, and a lot pandas surrounding one table in the restaurant. At that certain table, sat Li Shan and Po, who were having an arm wrestling match. Both pandas were straining and grunting as they were forcefully pushing against each other's arms. Neither of the pandas had made much progress, both their arms were still upright in the middle of the table.

"Please, be careful you two!" Mr. Ping warned.

Calls and chants were heard from all over in the restaurant, some being for Po, and others for Li. It was about half and half for each panda. The Five, who had been near in front, were on Po's side. Mr. Ping had been undecided on who to route for, so he in the front row, watching both pandas.

To get a better view, Tigress was squatted in a kneel, on top of a nearby table. Lei Lei clinged tightly to her raised leg. Tigress was staring down at the two pandas intently with a serious look on her face, while Lei Lei was giggling with excitement.

Viper, Crane, Mantis, and Monkey had themselves distanced around Po and Li Shan's table. Viper was near the front and had perfect side view of them. She had herself standing up tall with her tail. Crane was diagonal to her, and was standing right behind Po with Mantis on his hat. Monkey was on the seat of a table next to Tigress and Lei Lei. Of course, the space between all of them, was filled with villagers and pandas.

Mantis was right on the edge of Crane's hat, trying to get as close as possible. He was also doing his best at trying to give Po a pep talk.

"Come on, Po!" the insect yelled. "Beat him!"

"You got this, Po!" Monkey called standing up off his seat.

"He is not your dad today!" Mantis continued. "No mercy!"

The suspense was killing everyone. The two pandas still hadn't made much progress from before. Po and Li's faces were becoming much more strained.

"I feel like this is going to ending badly..." Crane said to Mantis.

Po suddenly closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, he looked more determined. Po slowly began pushing over Li Shan's arm, making the panda father look frightened. Li was beginning to lose the match! Shortly later, Li's arm was inches away from hitting the table.

"Let's go, Po!" Mantis chanted.

"He's so close!" Viper exclaimed.

Po had gotten his father's arm nearly to the table. Both pandas arms were shaking violently. Po was beginning to feel prideful. His confidence was gaining from being so close to winning. Po smirked and looked to his dad, who had fear in his eyes. He decided to use this to his advantage.

"Ha-HA!" Po cheered with determination. "Your going down, Dad!"

Seeing that Po was distracted, Li Shan switched their roles. Li snapped his arm up and forced Po's to the table, making everyone gasp. Monkey covered the top of his head in shock.

"Oh, no..." Crane said frowning.

This time, Li smirked.

"Ha-HA!" he mocked. "Not going down so easily today, Son!"

"Wait, look!" a random villager called out as they pointed back at Po and Li.

Everyone looked where she was pointing. Tigress leaned forward in her stance from on top of the other table, bracing herself up with a fist. She squinted her eyes halfway, looking closely at the scene. Soon, her eyes popped wide open. The crowd loudly gasped, including Tigress. Unsure of what they were looking at, Po and Li looked down and their arm. They gasped loudly too! Po's arm was not completely down on the table! His wrist and part of his upper arm was still partly in the air!

"Sweet!" Po cheered.

He went to raise his arm back up, but Li Shan stopped him. Now, they were back to fighting, but Po's arm was still dangerously close to the table. Mantis suddenly turned away and covered his face with his pincers.

"I can't look! The anticipation is killing me!" the bug yelled.

Po refused to quit. He was using all his might, and was slowly lifting Li Shan's arm back up. Tigress and the rest of the Furious Five had wide eyes and their mouths agape in shock.

Soon, both of the pandas arms were back in a vertical position. Po kept pushing and pushing until their roles were switched once again. Li was now losing the match and was starting breathing heavily, getting tired. Mantis quickly stepped as far away from the hands as he could.

"Just a little bit longer, Po!" Monkey encouraged.

"Let's go, Po!" Viper shouted.

"You're nearly there!" Tigress coached, growing more determined and involved with match.

Po suddenly found a hidden strength within him.

"You're right, Dad. I'm not going down so easily..."

He gave a long grunt and he shortly pushed his Li's arm the rest of the way down to the table, making Li's face turn into a shocked expression.

"Skadoosh!"

There was another loud gasp from the crowd. Mantis jumped off Crane's hat, onto Po's shoulder, and hopped down to the table. He scurried over to their hands to look at them closely.

"He did it! He won!" the bug confirmed gesturing to Po with his pincers.

The whole crowd began cheering for Po and his victory. Po sprung from his seat and raised his arms in the air triumphantly. Big Fun rushed over to him and squeezed him into a super tight hug while chuckling, nearly cutting off Po's oxygen. Almost everyone had started jumping around and hollering in celebration.

Tigress smiled brightly and shook her head in amusement. She watched as everyone around around her went absolutely crazy, including Lei Lei, who was still sitting on her knee.

"Yay!" Lei Lei squealed.

"YEAH!" Po yelled while spinning around in circles.

"Woo, yeah!" Monkey yelled excitedly, throwing his arms in the air.

"I can't believe he did it!" Crane cheered as he pushed out his wings in awe.

"I knew you could do it, buddy!" Mantis yelled.

"Good job, Po!" Viper praised.

"That's my boy, Po!" Mr. Ping exclaimed with excitement. "No offense to you, Li..."

Li Shan chuckled at the goose, who was doing his best to show support to both parties. He brought his large paw out to rest behind behind Mr. Ping's back, in a kind manner.

"None taken, Mr. Ping, I assure you." he smiled.

Li walked over to the other side of the table to the overexcited winner if the match. After Po finished jumping around in a circles, he finally noticed his panda dad, who stood right in front of him.

"You're not getting past me so easily next time, Little Lotus!" Li laughed while raising a finger, making the some of the others chuckle.

"Oh, we'll have to see about that!" Po shot back playfully.

Po received pats on the back from some of the pandas. While this happened, of in the background, the members of the Furious Five had came closer to the table to congratulate him. Tigress, in specific, had on a playful smirk and had her arms loosely crossed. Lei Lei was laying across the top of her head with an excited grin.

"Good job, Cuddles!" the little panda complimented.

Po laughed at Lei Lei's cute congratulation to him to and the fact that she was comfortably positioned on Tigress' head. Lei Lei stretched her tiny arms out to Po, making him reach a hand up to her. She gripped one of his fingers in each of her tiny paws and smiled at him.

Po looked around at the people who had gathered around him, which was mainly his friends, the Five, but a few stranglers huddled around too. He smiled warmly at them, looking like he truly felt blessed. Po took the time to search the restaurant for his two fathers. They were just outside of the small huddle that had formed around him, and seemed to be having a good time joking around about something. Po's expression softened after seeing that.

Getting cut short of his admiring of his dads, a chuckle brought him out of his little daze.

"A real show would be going against Tigress." Mantis said daringly.

Po and Tigress glanced at each other awkwardly. Po looked somewhat nervous, rubbing the back of his neck and laughing nervously. His eyes struggled to keep eye contact with hers. Meanwhile, Tigress held a firm gaze over him and looked fully confident. Lei Lei, who had started massaging both sides of Tigress' face, made her expression a bit hard to read. However, her eyeridges were raised and her eyes were slightly squinted, showing her indecisiveness. Her mouth was slightly opened, about ready to oppose the idea.

"I-"

"Now, that's something I would give out free tofu dessert for! Without purchases, even!" Mr. Ping exclaimed, raising his wings as he walked over to his son.

Po's eyes glanced rapidly between Mr. Ping and Tigress. He took note that Tigress had a calm smile on her face. It wasn't big, but it was there. Po squeezed his eyes together and shook his head. He was about ready to object his goose dad's proposal, when he heard another voice cut in.

"Uh, wouldn't that be a little unfair?" Li asked worriedly while stepping in.

The others casted their attention over to the new voice. The rest of the Five looked at Tigress, who was wearing a small smirk, and then at each other with a small amount of amusement in their expressions. Mr. Ping looked at Po worriedly, who was mildly confused, and then back at Li while nodding in agreement.

"Dad, she has an advantage here. If anything, it would be unfair for me!"

Everyone's face dropped in shock. The rest of the Five, Mr. Ping, and Li Shan, kept looking back and forth between Tigress and Po. Tigress pressed her lips together and stared awkwardly at Po, not saying a word. Based on Mr. Ping's face, he was having trouble deciding whether he should tell Po the truth.

"Um, Son..." the goose started.

Po looked down at his dad, ready to listen to what he had to say. When, he didn't continue, Po got confused. Li Shan gripped the back of his son's arm. Po turned his eyes to him, but saw that he wasn't actually making any attempt to look over at him.

"I actually was... referring to you, Lotus." Li said, trying his best not to offend his son.

"Oh."

"For... your safety."

Po nodded.

"And because... uh..."

Po looked at Li as he waited for the rest of his answer.

"I... I actually don't have anything else to say, Son."

Everyone became strangely silent.
