So this is a little something to test waters. Masternica did a similar concept focusing more on sexy and all that stuff, but i ain't here for that unlessis monster hunter related. I really liked the concept so...imma use it, YES. I asked for his permission and with green lights what's the other thing i can do but WRITE WRITE WRITE. So this is the first chapter and i'm hoping unlike my other one that i told myself was gonna be smol but now is nearly 30 chapters. This one will remain smol...thinking less than 20 to keep it fair for me and the other fanfic. Anyway...enjoy ^-^

Being a normal day at the Jade Palace, Shifu didn't expect much. The panda was giving the five their daily training lesson, so he had time to focus on his chi technique. Given Po's advice he had considerably grown more used to controlling and manipulating his chi, however he knew he still had a long way to go for him to master it. Inhaling, he focused on his inner energy. Exhaling, he focused his energy to his palm willing it to do his bidding. Nothing fancy at the moment, just a little…

"Master Shifu?" a voice broke his concentration, making his chi falter and disappear.

The red panda sighed and straighten, "Yes."

A gray goose wearing a red vest and noodle hat waddled into the yard of the Jade Palace. His wings fiddled with one and the other in an uncertain way. Behind him another person entered. A giant Panda with a green vest and pants pulled with a brown belt at his waist. He, like Mr. Ping, looked nervous an uncertain, certainly something to be scared off thought Shifu.

"How may I help you this afternoon Mr. Ping?" asked politely Shifu.

Ping turned to Li then sighed as he turned to Shifu, "Well you see…"

"We've been wondering…" continued the giant panda.

"If maybe…" added Ping.

"It would be possible for…" said Li as Shifu watched each as they spoke.

"For Po/Little Lotus," said both fathers at the same time. "To get a mate."

Shifu stared at both of the parental figures of the dragon warrior as they looked in the act of stealing. Shifu blinked at their words unsure of what to say, their words dancing through his head as the words kept ringing in his ears.

"I do not see the problem of Po finding a mate," said Shifu. "But as a kung fu master…they are certain things he needs to go through."

"What are they?" both fathers said at the same time.

"Um…well Po needs someone strong," started Shifu. "Since he is the dragon warrior and all. She would also need to fill certain criteria to be even considered to be Po's mate. Why do you ask? Do you have someone in mind?"

Ping and Li looked at each other before turning to Shifu, "We really don't but…"

"Since I found Po I've had the notion he would find a mate and you know settle," said Li. "Never would have thought he was going to be one of China's most powerful kung fu masters."

"Also we want grandchildren," said Ping bluntly.

Li smacked his head with his paw, "You weren't supposed to say that yet."

"What?" said Ping. "Po isn't getting any younger. And he certainly won't focus on finding a mate."

Li sighed, "But we agreed on taking things slow."

"Yeah well I ain't known for my patience," said Ping crossing his wings.

Shifu chuckled, "I see, well I can do something for you. I will check the palace scrolls to see if there is something then, using the knowledge left that managed to survive Kai I'm pretty sure we can come up with a suitable solution for this… problem."

Ping and Li perked up to this and thanked Shifu so many times that the red panda didn't know how to respond. However as soon as the thanks were gone, so were the father figures of the dragon warrior. Shifu chuckled and walked into the reconstructed Jade Palace to look for the answers to the men's wish.

It was later that day that the red panda's presence was felt once more in the Jade Palace. Without hesitation Shifu made his way through the confusing halls until he reached the kitchen area. There the furious five dinned alongside the dragon warrior. He currently was stirring up his noodle soup while he spoke to them. They laughed at his words but Shifu just strolled in and took his seat, waiting for his meal.

"So master Shifu," said the dragon warrior. "I was wondering if we could give the five a day off or so? You know so they could get in touch with themselves better and all that."

Shifu did not reply, instead he continued to stare at the table. Po served him and silence fell on the dining room as the furious five, the dragon warrior and his former master dined.

"I think you should do whatever you think is right," said Shifu once his meal was done.

"Really? Well you don't seem quite enthusiastic about it," said the dragon warrior as he got another handful of soup.

"I've just…been thinking," said Shifu closing his eyes.

"About what master?" asked Tigress.

As silence dragged on Shifu opened his eyes and stared at his students all looking at him expectant. The red panda sighed as he was forced to explain to them his recent finds.

"This afternoon i had a visit from Po's fathers," he started.

Po frowned and sat down, "My dads were here?"

Shifu nodded, "They spoke to me about an issue they felt, needed to be touched with much haste, so I promised I would spare some time and look a viable solution. However I did not see how complex this entire endeavor would be."

"What's wrong master?" asked Viper.

"Wait what was this thing my dads needed to be cleared about?" asked Po.

Shifu turned to his students and placed his intertwined paws under his chin, "Marriage."

The silence that followed ran deep and lingered for what felt like ages.

"Wait, Po's dads want to get married?" asked Mantis.

"Well that's nice," said Viper. "But I didn't think they would have that kind of relationship. They never hinted it."

"Congratulations Po," said Monkey.

Shifu rolled his eyes as the five drove on into theories, but didn't interrupt until they calmed enough that the news wouldn't be that much of a shock…he hoped.

"The wedding isn't for Mr. Ping and Li," he said. "It's for Po."

Silence fell even heavier than before. Actually at the moment the room felt quite cold all of the sudden. Shifu wondered if he had made the right choice.

"What!" the panda yelled rising from his chair. "You can't be serious?"

Shifu nodded, "Your fathers only wish the best for you Po, and they don't want o see you alone…also they said they wanted grandchildren."

Po grunted, "Aw come on. First dad and now…my dad…that doesn't sound right."

"Po," interrupted Shifu. "I don't think we'll have to worry about this for long."

Po and the five turned to master Shifu, "Wha'cha mean?"

Shifu leaned back on his chair, arms crossed, "You see since you're the dragon warrior you need a potential mate that is strong as you, also she needs to be prepared for all the responsibilities of being the dragon warrior's mate."

"Why you look at me like that?" asked Po turning to the five, who suddenly found the walls of the kitchen much more fascinating. "I'm not that hard to deal with."

The boys had a coughing fit at the dragon warrior's statement while Viper and Tigress held much interest in their unfinished meal.

"I'm not talking about handling you," said Shifu with a glare. "Though I implied it." he mumbled making Po roll his eyes, "No I'm talking about the Jade Palace and everything that comes with it. As dragon warrior and Oogway's heir there is much more responsibility than just strength, handling the artifacts, getting to know the people from the village, handling bandits and all, it's hard work. You've only experience a glimpse of the responsibility, but I take care of all the paper work. If you got a bride then she would have to handle these and that requires patience and perseverance."

"Things Po lack to this day," said Monkey to Mantis.

"I heard that," said the dragon warrior.

"So Po won't get a bride?" asked Viper.

Shifu looked down and fiddled with his fingers, "There is a way…to find a proper mate for Po."

The five turned to listen to their master, "But I suspect I should tell your fathers about this, more than I do you."

"Come on master Shifu," said Po. "They are basically deciding my things for me, what if I don't want this."

"Exactly my point," said Shifu sitting straighter. "Talk to your dad's about this. Give them your point of view and then, after we reach a certain conclusion, we'll agree on what is the best option."

Po nodded and rushed out of the kitchen to head to his home. Shifu sighed and stood also leaving the five to handle the news as they pleased.

"A bride for Po," said Monkey. "How would that be?"

"Bet she will be one big lady," chuckle Mantis.

"Stop it we don't even know if Po wants this," said Viper. "And for the looks of it he doesn't."

"But what can he do," said Crane. "Being the dragon warrior is enough as it is. Getting a bride might just take up all of his time."

"You're implying he'll forget us?" said Monkey.

"I'm saying, Po is not the best at handling time," added Crane with an eye roll.

"But he's grown so much in such a short time as a master," interrupted Tigress staring at her empty plate. "Perhaps it would be better to not reach any conclusions until after Po has made his decision and we get clarification of these facts."

The five nodded in unison.
