I think the pacing's a bit off in this one, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Kung Fu Panda 3 is in 2 days and I'm so excited. I can't wait to see Tigress with the baby pandas. And reading some spoilers and seeing a few screen caps, Lei Lei obviously takes a liking to her, so I got this idea with Po and her talking. More one shots will be coming up soon!

Stripy Baby

Lei Lei sat up at the table, practically gorging herself on dumplings. Po, or Cuddles, as she called him, watched her every move. He had promised to keep an eye on her for the evening, well the baby panda screamed, hollered, and begged for him to take her to Mr. Ping's noodle shop.

Taking in a big breath of air, the only pausing Lei Lei did was in between chewing.

"Yummy!" She confirmed with a giggle. Po chuckled along as she outstretched her arms.

Lifting her up, the baby panda seemed to reside in his chest well the Dragon Warrior rocked her slowly. He was almost positive she had fallen asleep when she suddenly spoke up.

"I had fun today! Doing Kung fu and now eating!"

Po hid a small smile. "I had fun today too."

"I am the Dragon Warrior." Lei Lei mimicked. "I' saving China!"

"Oh no, Dragon Warrior." Po leaned back in fake fear. "Please be careful. Saving China's a big job!"

Giggling, Lei Lei looked up at him. "That's what Stripy Baby thinks, i think."

The Dragon Warrior turned to look at her curiously. Not noticing, the baby panda kept talking.

"In Kung fu class, I was kicking!" She laughed swinging her legs up.

Po offered another small smile, as he scooped her back up.

"I'm sure your kicks were awesome! But. Uh. Why did Ti-Stripy Baby say all that?"

"She thinks it!" Lei Lei hummed. "She thinks it!"

"Okay. Uh. Why do you think Stripy Baby thinks that?"

"Because-because.. Cus.. Ooh, yeah! She does not want you to die!" The baby panda exclaimed, proudly munching on a bamboo stick she had brought along.

Po ruffled the fur on her forehead, hoping she would elaborate. And when she did, Po gave a silent cheer.

"Stripy Baby does not think you should run into-into danger, I think!"

Po opened his mouth to reply, but Lei Lei caught on first.

"I like Stripy Baby!" She announced, proudly. Po sighed.

"Yeah. Me too."
