Forgive me if I make this too fast, but I decided to throw in a moment to reveal Zhong's true feelings for Shu.

Chapter 6: Winter Feast, pt. 2

Soon after, Zhong and Shu entered the Sacred Hall of Warriors and in their eyes, they saw every kung-fu master along with their students as they entered the room. Zhong felt nervous about this and he just didn't know what to expect, but his main focus is on dating Shu and try his best to have a good time.

They found a seat two empty seats that Po put a reserved sign on them and they sat down and Shifu gave them some hats to add to the holiday occasion. Po stands up and everyone else stood up too along and he said, "Welcome to..the Winter Festival here in the Jade Palace. I'll be your host this year...this time."

Po went ahead and read the creed to everyone and minutes later, the feast began as everyone gathered around to eat and such and Shu began talking with Zhong about her secret love of kung-fu, which intrigued him and they were having the same conversation too.

Soon enough, Viper could instantly see that the sparks between Shu and Zhong were beginning to fly and she smiled at them, thinking that these two are falling for each other.

As the feast came in, Shifu felt like it went off without a hitch and everything was going smoothly and then, Zhong felt a sudden amount of anxiety to tell Shu how he really feels about her and he's just waiting for the right time to tell her.

Shu looked at Zhong and she sees him feeling a little nervous and she asked, "Are you okay?"

"Me? Of course. I'm cool. Cool as a...a...well you know what I mean." Zhong answered, nervously and shaking his head, scratching his muzzle and neck.

Shu turned her attention back to the food and Zhong was almost becoming a nervous wreck about telling Shu about his feelings for her and the thought that Shifu told her just keeps coming in and out of his head and as hard as he tried to keep it to himself, his feelings just took power over it.

He looks at Shu and he said, "I gotta tell you something."

"What is it?" she asked.

Zhong didn't know how to tell her this, but he just tried so hard to keep his cool down and he just felt his heart beating faster and faster until it pumps up his nervous system and then Shifu notified his intense system and he said in a clenched voice, "Zhong, is everything all right?"

Zhong groans in exasperation and he said, "I have to tell Shu how I feel about her."

"Not the time or place for it yet." he said, gritting his teeth.

That made his anxiety level rise up and he just felt like he had no other choice but to tell her. Realizing that he couldn't hold it in anymore, he just moaned silently and just blurted it out.

"SHU, I LOVE YOU!" Zhong screams.

Everyone stared at Zhong's unexpected outburst and Shifu's jaw dropped and his eye kept twitching and Po's mouth was dangling with noodles on his mouth and he quickly slurped it into his mouth while Shu just looked at him in shock, but soon enough, all she could say was, "What?"

"I love you." he repeated.

That made Shu's heart flutter a little after she heard it the second time and she asked, "You do?"

The wolf sighed heavily and he explained to her, "Shu...the minute you came into my life, I could never find anyone like my wife to reappear again. But when I look at you, my tough guy machismo wall just broke into pieces and replaced it with feelings I can't even describe. I just...you're like the only girl I ever wanted to find and maybe even love. I think you brought me into the holiday spirit and filled my heart with so much stuff I never felt before."

Su looked at Zhong deep in the eyes and she said, "I love you too, Zhong. You were the first wolf I ever fell in love with. I always hoped I can find love one day...and I just found it."

Both of them wrapped their arms around each other and kissed each other as passionate as ever. All the others let out a collective "aw...' as this was happening. They could care less if people were watching as long as they're happy together.

Po sighed in happiness seeing them love each other and he said, "Another victory for the Dragon Warrior. Shu and Zhong are now a couple. Skadoosh."

And then he lets out a huge belch in front of everyone, which made every kung-fu warrior stare at him with shock and Crane's beak dropped lower and let Shifu groaning in embarassment with his hand covering his face. Po chuckled nervously, sat back down, cleared his throat and said, "Excuse me. Well, this is one Winter Feast I'll never forget, won't we?"

Silence filled the room and Po blinked a few times and said, "Okay...never mind."

Sorry if I made it short. This is all I came up with. More romance heading your way!

BTW, we got nearly 5 days until we bring home 'Kung Fu Panda 2' on DVD and Blu-ray! This is gonna be an awesome holiday gift, don't ya think?
