In the Valley of Peace, Shifu was gossiping about his man-crush on Master Yao while Zeng and his lover were both cooking some noodles 'Wow, your really becoming natural" Ping said eyeing his boyfriend. "Well, I have my boyfriend to thank for that" Zeng said looking at him.

"What's his name...is he prettier them me? Ping faced forward and put both hand on his hips. 'I was talking about you of course" The dark gray goose clarified for him.
Ping apologized and sighed if relief "Besides, if I were to find another lover..my heart will always come back to you cause no one could ever compare to your beauty, sexiness, good-looks" He said as it boosted Ping's confidence.

Zeng smiled cause he liked it when his baby is happy and they continued making the noodles. "Shifu, we all know about your huge man-crush on Yao" Mantis said sighing in annoyance. "Mantis is right Master, just ask him out already" Viper said after her boyfriend. Shifu looked at the two pressuring him and tapped his fingers on the table until they heard the sound of Po causing Shifu to turn around, he dodged a bullet.

Po sat Monkey down and the panda took his seat next to Shifu and kissed him on the cheek as well as Tigress. "Po, Monkey, Tigress and Crane" I'm glad you can all make it He said looking at each one" Uh, Shifu, I'm afraid me and Crane won't be eating" Monkey said apologizing. "What're you talking about? Viper said looking at the primate. "I asked them to help Lu Kane find a boyfriend" Po said to the snake.

'Is this true guys? He asked turning to the two wanting to make sure their not just making an excuse. Lu Kane approached the table and got in the middle of the two "We're sorry Shifu" Crane said before the bird and primate took Lu out of the shop to begin their search. Tigress sat down next to Po.

Zeng and Ping came out together "Order up" They said balancing five bowls, Zeng had to walk slow cause he was still new to this. Ping sat down the bowls for Shifu, his son and Tigress.

Zeng almost fell but quickly sat them down on the table before sighing in relief until Ping put his wing around him and back into the kitchen they went. "Wow, my dad must really like Zeng" Po said picking up his chopsticks. "It would appear so" Shifu said picking up his and they began to chow down.

Meanwhile, Lu Kane was really nervous cause he had never had a relationship before and prior to that who would want to have a relationship with a klutzy person like him "I don't think I'm cut out for this" Lu said with his head down.

"Hey, don't worry about it" Monkey said. "Yeah we're find the perfect guy for you" Crane said after his boyfriend. "I sure hope your both right" Lu said after sighing. They continued walking until the stopped Grim who was carrying some apples for Jong.

"Excuse me" Crane said flying over forcing Grim to face him "Look, I don't mean to be rude but I'm kinda in hurry. " He said to the bird. "This will only take a minute" Monkey said slowing him down" How would you like to be in a relationship is this handsome guy?
Lu Kane nervously played with his fingers while trying to smile at him "Hello". Grim was about to open his mouth until his fellow bandit friends approached him notifying that Jong's son really need his apples.
I'll be right there" He said looking at them. "You better hurry" A friend said before they all left before he turned back to the two who were awaiting an answer "Look, I really got to go so I'm just not cut out for a relationship right now" He said before starting to Jong's Land. "Wait up guys" He shouted out to his buddies.

Lu Kane sighed in disappointment "I'll never find the perfect boyfriend" He said sadly. "Lu, what are you talking about" Crane asked. "Yeah, there's plenty of fish in the sea" Monkey said making a joke but Crane elbowed him saying that it wasn't the greatest time right now.

"What I meant to say is that, you'll find your true love" He said correcting himself. "You two are lucky to have Po. "Uh...you lost us" Crane said dumbfounded. "Po is strong, honest, kind-hearted, sweet, muscular and not to mention that he's the Dragon Warrior" Lu said tearing up "I should so, thanks for trying anyways" He walked depressingly back to his father's palace "Who am I kidding, I'll never find the perfect boyfriend" He said until he encountered with a box heading right towards him causing him to fall back.

Shao heard the scream and quickly put the crate to the left, he was doing some chores and the crate was filled with very old antiques such as Urns, Medallions and Diamonds. "Sorry, I didn't see you there" The goat said gasping then Lu Kane got up."Forgive me, my name is Shao-Shi" He said introducing himself but when the water buffalo announced that he was the grandson of Emperor and the heir to the throne, Shao stood back, got on his knees and worshiped him.

"Please don't banish me" He said begging. "Hey, it's quite alright" He said and he got up "Thank you, now if you'll excuse me I got to get this crate to my house" He said picking up the crate but it was heavy to he began to lose his balance but just in time that Lu Kane reacted quickly and grabbed the crate but realized something.

his hoofs on top of Shao's causing the two to eye each other, their hearts started to melt "He's beautiful" He thought and smiled then unfortunately it was cut short. "Hey, you wanna help me? He suggested. "Well, I was just heading home but alright" Lu said.

"Thanks, now how're we going to move" The goat said resulting that their stuck.

Actually, I was going to do one separate story on Shifu's crush but as I had already put the conversation in though that will have to wait until chapter fifteen. This chapter is quite unique as it represents what I love in the fandom. For example, ever since "My Favorite Yao" first premiered, I could sense Shifu was very eager to pour his heat out to him like in "A Thousand and Twenty Questions", "Apocalypse Yao" is another one of Shifu's addictions to him. There are clues that he maybe be over Mei Ling for good but in "Shifu's Ex", he promised her that he'll wait for her as long as it takes.
Let's be honest here when I say that Shifu is more interested in Master Yao then Mei. Remember when I said that Po was bisexual? I meant it.
