Kung Fu Oz

Chapter 20: There's No Place Like Home

We see Mei Ting back in her bedroom saying, "There's no place like home" while we see Aunt Eboshu trying to wake Mei Ting up.

"Wake up, honey", said Aunt Eboshu, "It's me. It's Auntie Eboshu."

Mei Ting wakes up and sees Aunt Eboshu before she said, "Aunt Eboshu. It's you. How did you...?"

"Hello there", said a voice and it happens to be Professor Marvel, "Anybody home? I just heard that the young lady got caught in the big twister and... well, she seems to be alright now, eh?"

"Yeah and we thought that for a minute there, she was gonna leave us", said Uncle San.

"But I did leave you, Uncle San and that's the only trouble", said Mei Ting.

"What are you speaking about, Mei?", asked Uncle San.

"Well, I tried to get back for days and days", said Mei Ting, "and uh..."

"You just had a bad dream, that's all", said Aunt Eboshu and the three wolves appeared from behind her.

"Remember me?", asked Huck, "You old pals? Huck?

"Hickory?", asked Hickory.

"And Zeke?", asked Zeke, "You couldn't forget my face, could you?"

"No", said Mei Ting, "It wasn't a dream. I was in a place and only you three weren't in it. I was with the Dragon Warrior named Po and..."

"You seen the Dragon Warrior?", asked Aunt Eboshu, "Why didn't you tell us?"

"I was trying to get to you and Uncle San when I was with him during the tornado and then... the panda and I had an adventure together", said Mei Ting, "You know what else? He kissed me!"

"He did", said Uncle San.

"How sweet", said Aunt Eboshu, "You must've fallen in love with the greatest kung fu master of China."

"I did", said Mei Ting, "and the place was Oz. Then, I made friends as well including Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion. But not only that. We had to get to the Wizard of Oz and it turns out it was a professor."

"Like me?", asked Professor Marvel.

"Yes, but different", said Mei Ting, "Oz was a truly live place and most of it was beautiful. I also learned that the Wicked Witch of the West used the Ruby Slippers' powers to battle against me when I fought her, but I defeated her because I have the one thing that she doesn't."

"What was it?", asked Aunt Eboshu.

"Love", said Mei Ting, "The Wizard of Oz told me so and I saved the Emerald City as well, but I did it with the help of my friends. Then, I used the slippers to get back home and I'm home right now."

"Oh", said Uncle San.

"Doesn't anybody believe me?", asked Mei Ting.

"Of course we believe you", said Uncle San.

"And Aunt Eboshu", said Mei Ting, "I'm sorry I ran away from home after what happened."

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry", said Aunt Eboshu, "I should've listened to you when Miss Ying took Toto away and it's great to see him alright as well. Will you forgive me?"

Aunt Eboshu and Mei Ting hugged each other tears came out of their eyes. We cut to the outside of Juitsu City where we see Po watching Mei Ting smelling the fresh air before she spots him.

"Po?", asked Mei Ting and ran towards the Dragon Warrior before they hugged each other, "I'm so glad to see you again."

"Me too, Mei Ting", said Po and they kissed each other.

"After all, there's no place like home", said Mei Ting and she sings.

Mei Ting:
When I think of home, I think of a place where
There's love overflowing
I wish I was home, I wish I was back there
With the things I've been knowing

Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the raindrops that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean

Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
It would sure have been nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection

And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend, let me start again

Suddenly my world's gone and changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing

And if you're listening God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe the things that we see

Tell us should we run away
Should we try and stay?
Or would it be better just to let things be?

Living here in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me

And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours, like mine, like home

Then, Mei Ting and Po walked to the neighborhood of Juitsu City before we fade to black.

The End

And that concludes the Kung Fu Panda version of "The Wizard of Oz". There are plans for a sequel since this has proved to be quite a success in it's repeated viewings. Maybe sometime after I see the upcoming "Oz, the Great and Powerful" movie, I'll try and work on the sequel. So, until then, enjoy and review, dear friends!
