Chapter 6: Rude – Magic!
xxxxxxxxx
Saturday morning jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah
Xxxxxxxxx
It had been a year since Po and Tigress got together. Most of their spats are minor and mostly just because of Po's curiosity in the artifacts that often leads to him into causing trouble. Tigress would give him a mouthful but he would look all adorable with him being caught and she would just laugh it off. Shifu on the other hand would punish him.
That reminded him why he is in his old room of his dad's noodle shop. He took a small box from his drawer and looked at the mirror. He looked really cleaned up. He changed his pants to a new one and even had a formal shirt on. He wanted to look decent as he face his master. He wanted to talk to Shifu about a life-changing decision.
Gathering up his resolve, he climbed the thousand steps knowing that Shifu would be in the Heroes Hall doing his meditation.
And sure enough the red panda was there. He walked towards Shifu and sighed deeply.
Xxxxxxxxx
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
Xxxxxxxxx
"Master Shifu." Po called as the master turned to look at him.
"Panda… you look… decent." He then said as he saw his student.
"Well yeah… You see, I got to ask you a question."
"And you had to dress… differently for that?"
"Well yeah… listen I want to get your permission." Po then said
"Permission for what?" Master Shifu's curiosity was piqued.
"You see, I love Tigress with all that I am and we've been together for a year now. I know you're an old-fashioned man and with all due respect, I want to ask for your permission to marry her." There he said it.
Xxxxxxxxx
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'
Xxxxxxxxx
It looked like the veins of Shifu would pop out. "Absolutely not!" he screamed. "Panda I already gave my permission to your relationship but I cannot agree for you to marry my daughter! That is preposterous! I will never give you my blessing until the day I die. I am sorry but my answer is NO!"
Xxxxxxxxx
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Xxxxxxxxx
"Oh come on Shifu. Don't be mean. I love her so much."
"Panda, you don't even act like an adult. How can you want to marry my daughter?"
Xxxxxxxxx
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude
Xxxxxxxxx
"I love Tigress and I will marry her."
"Po you can't even go to the cemetery without shrieking like a little girl." Shifu then said. "For you to get married you need to wait until you are mature enough to make the right decisions and not just decide on whether you should eat regular dumplings or sticky dumplings."
Xxxxxxxxx
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me we will be both
Standing at that altar
Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Xxxxxxxxx
"I know that I love her Shifu and I want to marry her." Po snickered at his master. "Besides you know she loves me so much that she will marry me even without your permission." His eyes then turned soft as if pleading to his master. "I don't want to go against you Shifu. I don't want to run away with Tigress just because you will not let us get married."
"You will do no such thing panda."
Xxxxxxxxx
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still 'No"
Xxxxxxxxx
"Then please let us get married. I want to be with her for the rest of my life."
"Perhaps in a decade." Shifu then answered.
"A decade? I can't wait five years." Po shouted.
Shifu laughed a bit. "Tough luck my friend because my answer is still no."

Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
No matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so

The Dragon Warrior is mad now. "Don't you want us to be happy? I know I'm not as intelligent or mature as you want me to be but I want to spend the rest of my life loving her. Making her happy. I will do anything."
Xxxxxxxxx

Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but 'No' still means 'No'!
Xxxxxxxxx
"Po there is no doubt in me that you love her. And I am sure that you will make her happy. But now is not the time so my answer is still no. Ask me again after a decade."
"Shifu I cannot wait five years I told you that." Po kicked an imaginary rock acting like a kid. "I want to marry her now if I can."

"Po a decade means ten years." Shifu corrected the Dragon Warrior as he hid a laugh. There is no doubt in him that Po would make his daughter happy but he wants to see how much the panda loves his daughter reason why he is giving him a hard time.
"That's even worse than five years. You can't be that mean. Please master Shifu. I've wanted to be Tigress' all my life and when we got together it was the happiest day of my life. I realized that she's the only one for me and I don't want to wait anymore. I can try to be mature but we both know that I'm just going to fail that. I can go all serious but I'm going to suck at that. But there's one thing I would never fail at - that's loving your daughter with all the love in me. I'm going to the ends of the world for her, I'm going to die for her. Because the reason my breathing is her."
Shifu smiled. The panda really does love his daughter. "Very well then. I am convinced. You may marry my daughter."
"Thank you master Shifu. I will never fail you." Po then said.
