Chapter 1: The Arrival

All right so this is my very first fan fiction story ever! I hope you will all like it and I have many more years ahead of me writing.

Simba, a pure bloodline German Sheppard, had just arrived to the Valley of Peace. Simba wore a black vest with a red dragon design on the back, plus red trim and also had on black pants. He was from a land very far away and had been traveling for a while. He had heard about the awesome adventures of the Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior. Simba thought that maybe they could accept him and teach him the ways of kung fu.

You see, Simba was from a village that didn't believe in kung fu, but his parents had always raised him to chase whatever dream he had. But one day he showed an interest in kung fu the village exiled him and his parents very upset. That day was almost ten years ago and more on his past later. For now let us watch his and the Five's adventure unfold…

"Man… I sure have been walking for a long time", Simba managed to say collapsing on a bench.

Simba looked at and read the sign above the bench he was laying on. It said "Dragon Warrior Noodles & Tofu".

"No way", Simba rolled of the bench and looked around the corner into the restaurant. It was very full of customers and an old goose was running around frantically.

"PO!" the goose yelled towards the back of the restaurant. "I need that soup to table six and some more bean buns to table eleven!". Then he waddled off with a handful of dirty dishes.

"I can't believe I found the restaurant I've only ever heard about!" Simba said as he walked in. His eye darting excitedly around the room, then he saw one of the masters of kung fu he had sought for so long to meet.

"Order up!" the warrior of black and white said as he placed the warm bean buns onto the table in front of some rabbits. "Enjoy your meal" Po said then walked back to the kitchen.

Simba began to walk up to the kitchen window to see if he could talk to Po, but was only met but the goose.

"Hello, and may I take your order?" said Mr. Ping.

"Umm… actually I would like to talk to the Dragon warrior" Simba stated. "That is if he is available."

"Oh he is in fact, PO! You have a visitor!"

"Thanks umm... Mr. Ping, right?"

"Yep, have a seat at table two. Po will be right out", Mr. Ping smiled and walked away, and began to chop vegetables.

Simba sat the table and waited for a little bit. Then Po came out the door and headed towards him.

"Hi, I am Po the Dragon Warrior, but I assume that you know that already seeing as you already asked for me", Po said with a bit of a confuse look on his face, then shrugged it of and focused his attention on the stranger again.

"Hello" Simba bowed "I have ventured from a very far away land to see you"

" You have? Well why did you come to see me?"

"Because Dragon Warrior, I have came to maybe see if I could learn some kung fu under you and the furious five, but up until now I had only believe you as a myth."

"First, Call me Po. Second, I'd be happy for you to come train with us, but we would have to talk to Master Shifu about that."

"Ok Po", Simba smiled " So when came we go talk to him?"

"In about thirty minutes, I have to help my dad finish the lunch rush", Po said standing up "But why don't you have a bowl of my dad's famous soup while you wait, I bet your hungry from your travels"

"I'd like that very much" Simba nodded as Po began to walk away. Simba sighed and sat back in his chair, he had finally made it.

"Alright, lets head up to the palace", Po said as he threw his apron back into the kitchen. "Bye dad! I'll see you soon!"

"Bye Po, come back to visit soon!"

"Ok I will" Po said as he walked over to Simba. " Already to go?"

"You bet Po" Simba smiled as the two began to walk out of the restaurant.

"So, where have you traveled so far from?" Po asked as they reached the bottom of the huge set of stairs.

"I came from a village in a land they call Europe." Simba said taking the first few steps up the stairs.

"Why did you come from so far away? Why leave?" Po questioned

"The village I lived in disliked kung fu a quite deal and when I told someone that I liked and wanted to learn more about it they kicked me out. I had previously heard of a legionary band of heroes called the Furious Five, and maybe thought that they could teach me." Simba looked a Po hoping for approval.

"Well I know that I wouldn't mind you staying and training with us, but as I said before that's up to Shifu. Though he has been a lot more easy going after the defeat of Lord Shen". Po said giving Simba a hopeful pat on the back as they continued up the stairs.

"I had heard about your battle with Lord Shen, you sounded like something out of stories! Did you really throw those cannon balls right back at him?"

"Yup", Po said happy to tell his tales. "I plucked those cannon balls right out of the air. Shifu is the one to teach me it, but it took a while to actually apply it. And that was like four months ago. Say, if you don't mind, how long have you been traveling?"

"No I don't mind. I was about eighteen when I was kicked out and I have been traveling for four years. Most of the time I was trying to find somewhere I fit in, but never found any good place to settle down for good. My parents don't even know if I am still alive…" Simba put his head down and sighed after that last thought.

Po put his hand on Simba's shoulder and griped it with a reassuring strength. "Don't worry" Po smiled, "One day you will see them again. So you have been traveling for a while indeed."

"Thanks Po. Yes, it has been a while since I left. About three months ago I first stepped into China"

"You like it here so far?"

"Yeah, it's a very nice country. I wouldn't mind staying here" Simba looked around smiling. "Feels right here, you know?"

"Yeah I here you"

The two reached the top of the stairs right as they finished their conversation. Po looked at Simba, "Fallow me to the Hall of Heroes, we will see if Master Shifu is there."

Simba nodded and fallowed Po into the hall. There they found the Grand Master of the Jade Palace meditating.

"Master Shi…"

"Yes Po? I presume you're here to talk about the young man you have standing next to you", Shifu interrupted Po without even turning around.

Simba's eyes got really wide, "How did he…?"

"That's Master Shifu and his big ears for you" Po said chuckling, even though he was saying "Awesome" in his own mind.

Shifu smiled as he continued, "If your done discussing my ears..." he turned around, "I may be a wise old man but I do not know everyone's name, would you care to enlighten me with yours?"

"My name is Simba"

"He came and found me wanting to know if we could help him train in kung fu" Po said

"Why would you like to do that? Shifu asked

"Because I traveled very far from my home in search of a great kung fu master to teach me, I was kicked out of my village because I showed an interest in the martial art."

"Hmm…" Shifu thought to himself then spoke out load, "If you are willing to obey all the rules, stick to a rigorous training schedule, and help us defend against all evil of this valley. Then I will allow you to stay."

Simba feeling full of relief then replied, "Yes I am willing to fallow all rules, I will stick to your training program, and helping defend the people of this valley will be of no problem to me."

"Then you are welcome to stay. Po, please show our newest member to his room."

"Right away master, but how would you like to meet the rest of the gang?" Po said as he turned to Simba.

"Yeah, actually I'd really like that", Simba smiled as he fallowed Po out of the Hall of Heroes and into the Training Hall.

As Po opened the door to the hall, all the training inside stopped. All eyes inside turned to look at the Dragon Warrior and the stranger standing next to him.

"Guys I would like you to meet, Simba, our newest member of the Jade Palace", Po said

Viper was the first to approach Simba, " Hey, nice to meet you." she said with a smile on her face.

Master Mantis and Monkey were next to greet Simba, " Hey man, what's up?' said Mantis. "You must be really new, I haven't even seen you around the village" Monkey said walking up behind Po.

Crane flew over from the Jade Tortoise, "Hello I am Crane" he said and bowed his head while holding on to his hat.

"Isn't there one more person in the Furious FIVE?" Simba questioned and looked around for the last person.

"Oh yeah, where is she?" Po was looking around for her as Tigress came into the hall behind him.

"Who are you guys looking for?" She said with crossed arms.

Po smiled, "You of coarse hun." and went to hug her.

"Uh-huh" The feline said as she accepted the hug. Then she smiled and looked at Simba, "Who is he?"

"This would be Simba, Master Shifu said he could stay and train with us" Po looked at her then to Simba. "Simba, this is Master Tigress and my girlfriend"

"Nice to meet you", Simba bowed to the master.

Tigress looked at Simba, " Nice to meet you too, but you don't have to act all formal. We are all friends here." She smirked a bit then turned back to Po, " I think you should go get some dinner started, it is about time to eat."

She kissed Po on the cheek and walked out.

"Wow, that never gets any less awesome", Po said with his goofy smile. Viper just looked at him and giggled.

"What?", Po said confused

"Nothing Po, lets go to the dinning hall", Viper chuckled and walked out of the training hall with Po, Simba, and the rest of the furious five following her.

Everyone had sat down at the table including Master Shifu, they all wanted to get to know Simba a bit better. They were all consumed a bit of small talk when Po walked in with a couple armloads of Soup. He passed everyone out a bowl and set some bean buns in the middle of the table. After he was done passing out the food he took his seat next to Tigress and the meal began.

"Love the food Po!" Mantis somehow managed to choke out with a mouth full of noodles.

"Yes very good Po", Master Shifu said filling his bowl up for the second time.

"Good as ever", said Tigress with a sweet smile.

Crane, Monkey, and Simba merely nodded in agreement as their mouths were full.

"So, Simba where exactly are you from?" Crane said between bites.

"The name of the village is Bastogne", Simba replied.

"Wow that must have been a long walk" Viper piped in.

"Indeed it was, took me almost three years to get into China. I had tried to settle in other places before this valley, but nothing really worked out."

"Have you had any kind of formal training in kung-fu?" Tigress said as she finished her bowl of soup.

Simba just shook his head, "Nope, anything I know is self taught. And I don't think I know a whole lot."

"Well we will have plenty of time to train and teach you." Tigress smiled and started to help Po with the clean up.

"Alright I think we will end the day there students. Finish up here and then head to bed." Shifu bowed and headed out of the dinning hall.

Crane, Monkey, and Mantis all said their goodnights and headed to their bedrooms. Viper talked a bit more with Simba and then decided to turn in too. Simba helped a little with the clean up, then with Po and Tigress headed to the Dorm Hall. The three stop in front of the room to be Simba's.

"This is yours", Po says turning to Simba while sticking out his hand in an inviting jester.

Simba opens the door to see a new bed and table have been added to the unused room. Also a dresser had been added. Simba turned to the two and bowed, thanking them.

"Wow, I am finally here" Simba said lying on his bed.

Po and Tigress left Simba's room closing the door behind them. They stopped in front of their rooms, being they're across from each other.

"Goodnight Po", Tigress said hugging Po and rubbing her face into the crook of his neck.

Goodnight Tigress" Po returned her loving hug

The two shared a couple kisses and receded into their rooms.
