Hey guys! I know, I'm sorry, I haven't updated this in soooo long, please don't murder me... (Seriously, don't, I have a date tomorrow. Or at least have the decency to wait a few extra hours.) Anyway- reviews, anybody? Pretty please?
As always, The Five awoke at sunrise and were at their doors and chorusing "Good Morning Master" simultaneously. But realizing that Shifu was nowhere to be seen, they exchanged confused glances and looked curiously around.
"Am I missing something?" Mantis inquired slowly, tilting his head to one side.
"Where is he?" Viper questioned, wearing an expression similar to Mantis's.
"And I don't hear snoring- where's Po?" commented Monkey, cautiously peering into The Dragon Warrior's empty room.
There was a long pause, and then Tigress voiced what they were all thinking.
"Let's go check the kitchen."
"I don't get it," Crane stated, as the five warriors made their way to the kitchen. "Sure Po likes to munch on something in the night, but this is too early. He must have gone before the sun had even risen! I don't think I've ever even seen him that early..."
"And what about Shifu?" Added Viper, a worried note in her voice.
"Maybe Po went off to meditate with him?"
There was a hollow silence after Monkey's comment, but it was instantly filled with gut-ripping, boisterous, and justified laughter.
They walked slowly into the kitchen, Monkey and Mantis still fighting to stifle their high-pitched giggles. But what they saw caused five mouthes to drop open simultaneously; if it had been physically possible, jaws would have hit the floor. Before them, on opposite sides of the old, wooden table, were Po and Shifu. This in itself was in no way strange- but their behavior...
Po- who, while eating, would usually be disgusting anyone in a three mile radius- was sipping soup in such a fashion that not a single drop missed it's destination. It even went as far as his little finger being slightly raised, and eyes shut. Not a sound escaped his monochromatic lips, and he sat with his back straight head high.
Shifu, who possessed manners and etiquette rival to that of the Emperor's, was slurping the remains of his soup out of the bottom of the now cracked bowl, occasionally wiping his face with a sleeve. The result gave him an appearance as though a noodle-bomb had gone off and he hadn't cleared the danger-zone in time.
When The Five entered the room, both student and master looked up, with identical expressions- the 'caught with fingers on the cookie jar' look.
Had the internet been up and running then, that one picture would have gone viral in a matter of minutes.
"M-master?"
It was Tigress who spoke, as she seemed to be the first to recover.
Shifu, who was currently sporting Po's body, looked her in the eye, and answered with the straightest face he could muster.
"Yes?"
This one, simple, tiny word, uttered in Po's voice, which held so much dignity, control, and wisdom, clashed so badly with Po's character, that not seconds after it was spoken, The Dragon Warrior and the Five were guffawing yet again, clawing manically at their stomachs.
So? You likey? Remember, reviews=more updates!
