The sun begins to rise, soft music is heard as Spike and Shifu are still at the tree, still not sure on what to do. They then hear a voice coming from the palace, Spike and Shifu decide to check it out, they open the doors to the training hall but none of the equipment is on, not even the dummy has moved. The voice is heard again and they turn to hear the noise coming from the kitchen.

"Of course he'd be there..." Spike said rolling his eyes and Shifu sighs.

Spike and Shifu make they're way over to see what he was doing, to they're surprise they find Po doing some strange moves, he punches through a wooden cabinet, he takes out some food and munches on it, but stops as soon as he sees Spike and Shifu.

"What the..." Spike thinks to himself, he and Shifu look around to see the place has had multiple things broken in places he shouldn't be able to reach... they then hear Po gag a little and they look at him with raised eyebrows.

"What? I eat when i'm upset okay?" Po tells them with his mouth full, Spike and Shifu look at each other then smirk.

"Oh no need to explain." Spike told him.
"Yes don't worry, we just thought you might be Monkey, he hides his Almond cookies on the top shelf." Shifu tells him as he and Spike look at the top counter.
"Not that great of a hiding spot if you ask me" Spike says as they pretend to leave.

Po gasps as he sees the cookies, Spike and Shifu hide near the door, they then hear pots and pans  move around, they rush back into the room and they see Po at the top... doing a perfect split and munching down on each cookie. Spike and Shifu continue to look at it in fascination .

Po continues to eat each cookie but he then notices they're back in.
"Don't tell Monkey" He says with his mouth full.

"Look at you." Shifu tells him.
"Yeah i know i've disgusted you" Po says as he takes another one.
"No not that! We mean how did you get up there?" Spike asks curiously.
"I don't know i just... i don't know i was getting a cookie" Po says as he continues eating.
"How many of those are in that small jar?" Spike asks himself and Shifu shakes his head.
"And yet you are ten feet off the ground, and have done a perfect split" Shifu says in amazement.

"No this. this is just a.." The counter he's on begins to collapse" Accident" Po finishes as he falls down the cookie then rolls over to them, Spike and Shifu look at each other and get an idea.
"There are no accidents" They both say at once.
"Come with us." Shifu says picking up the cookie and Po looks confused at that.

We cut to a mountain side, Po and Shifu and Spike are all walking to a familiar place. Po is struggling as he carries supplies.
"I know you two are trying to be all mystical and Kung Fuey, but can you at least tell me where we're going?" Po asks exhausted.
"We're going someplace very special" Spike says without giving a clear answer.

we then cut to a misty pool and they all had finally arrived. Po then drops they supplies as he crawls to the pool while Spike and Shifu try to meditate
"You two.. dragged me.. all the way out here.. for a bath?" Po asked as he puts his hand in the water.
"He better not be doing what i think he's doing..." Spike thought to himself as his eyes were still closed.
"Panda, we do not wash our pits in The Pool of Sacred Tears" Shifu told him and Po gasps.
"Pool of..." Po wipes away the water and Shifu and Spike came up to him.

"This is where i became a master" Spike says as he looks at his reflection.
"This is where Oogway, unrivaled the mysteries, of harmony and focus, this is the birth place.. of Kung fu" Shifu tells him. Po then gasps as he realized where he was.

A symbol of black and white appear as we cut to a flashback off Oogway  is seen striking some poses on a tall rock, Spike and Shifu land on that same rock and Po looks at them in amazement. 

"Do you want to learn Kung fu?" Spike asks looking down at him.
"Yeah." He says still amazed
"Then we are both your masters!" Shifu declares and Spike nods agreeing.
"We both will train you!" Spike declares.

"Okay!" Po says so happy he begins to cry.
"Don't cry." Shifu says giving his first order.
"Yeah, it's unnecessary" Spike says trying to make him stop.
"Okay" He says as he stops crying and looks really happy as he will finally learn Kung Fu.

We cut to a field and Shifu and Spike are standing together on a rock.
"When you focus your energy on Kung Fu, when you concentrate.. you stink" Shifu tells him as Po looks a little offended.
"He's not wrong, sorry man" Spike tells him.
"But perhaps that is my fault, we cannot train you the way I have trained Spike and the 5, we now see the way to get through to you.. is with this" Shifu explains as he and Spike hold out two bowls of dumplings.

"Oh great because i am hungry!" Po says wanting to have some but they take it away and they both chuckle.
"Good! when you have been trained you may eat" Shifu tells him as they take out some chopsticks, they both take eat one of they're dumplings
"Lets begin." Shifu tells him as they walk off
"This is really good!" Spike says with a smug as he teases Po and he looks upset that he can't eat.

We cut to Po doing sit ups on a tree branch, Spike and Shifu are holding out bowls trying to get him to reach them.
"Come on Po, this is only your tenth sit up and you already look exhausted." Spike tells him as he tries to motivate Po to continue, the tree branch begins to snap, Shifu and Spike both land on a nearby rock, Po catches the bowl but the branch snaps and Shifu grabs it with his staff, Spike then proceeds to have some of it with Shifu
" Things start out rough at first, you'll only get better!" Spike tells him as he and Shifu continue to have some.

Shifu walks up to Po and he gives him a bowl of food, he runs off as Po tries to have some, just then Spike comes out of nowhere with Shifu and they both attack him, Po tries to block it but Shifu uses his staff and breaks the bowl and Po looks sad at that.
"Always keep your guard up, you never know when someone will attack you, like this!" Spike says as he kicks Po into a tree right in the nuts again
"Ohhh!! My tenders!" Po says in pain as he falls on the ground groaning in pain.

We cut to Po trying to grab a dumpling but Spike and Shifu are doing a job in trying to keep it away from him. 
"Never expect things to be so easy Po!" Spike tells him as he catches it and eats it and Po gets upset again.

Shifu then drags a another bowl of food and Po is doing push ups while over some hot rocks.
"Gotta keep your body in a good shape for more stamina and being able to hold on longer!" Spike tells him and Po nods in understanding as he keeps trying to reach the bowl.

We cut to them on a mountain, Spike and Shifu are doing stretches and Po has three bowls on him and he tries not to lose balance.
"You can't lose balance it could endanger you." Spike tells him while he is only standing on his tail while is arms and legs are  crossed.

We cut to Po in the forest a large bowl of soup is near a fire place ,Po is about to grab some when Shifu and  Spike suddenly appear behind his back, They then attack Po and he tries to get some food, he gets it filled up and tries to have some, Shifu pokes him in the belly and it flies in the air, Spike kicks shifu out of the way and grabs the bowl and every drop of soup he lands on a tree branch and has the soup, Po is upset that he can't reach it and he kicks a tree branch but it comes back and hits him in the face.

Spike, Shifu and Po are on rocks striking some poses and Po is starting to pick up on it.
They are then doing push ups with one arm and po is starting to do it without much trouble.
Spike and Shifu then try to attack Po with staffs, but Po is blocking each one, Po strikes poses and we cut to him on the same rock Spike and Shifu and he finally is able to defend himself.

We cut to a bowl of dumplings and the 3 of them are sitting there, Shifu takes some chopsticks with Spike
"After you panda" Shifu tells him, Po is a little shocked at it.
" Just like that? no sit ups? No ten mile hike?" Po asks.
"We already have done the hiking part" Spike tells him 
"We vowed to train you, and you have been trained, you are free to eat" Shifu tells him and Spike nods.
"You've learned everything we can teach you." Spike says with a smile, Po then sits down and takes some chopsticks and a dumpling still unsure.
"Enjoy." Shifu says with a smile.

Po then smiles but just as he is about to eat it, a blur of Shifu flies by and swipes it
"Hey!" Po says as Shifu just finishes it
"We said you are free to eat, have a dumpling" Spike says, Po tries to take another. but Spike kicks it into the air and grabs it and eats it
"Hey!" Po says annoyed as Spike finishes it. Po then realizes what they are doing.
"You are free to eat!" Shifu tells him.
"Am i?!" Po asks
"Are you?!" Spike and Shifu both ask, they then swing they're chopsticks and Po simply puts them together making a kung fu noise,

he then slams the dumplings into the air, Spike and Shifu both eat as many as they can until there is one left, Po jumps and tries to catch it in him mouth in slow motion but Shifu snatches it and he screams as he falls down, Shifu looks at him and is about to eat it, but Po knocks it away and it falls into the bowl, Spike and the 2 try to grab it, Shifu knocks Po's hand away with his finger
"ow!" po says as it actually hurt, the bowl then begins to flip over and they look at each other, Shifu then flips the other two over and he moves them around rapidly. Po follows each one and Spike picks a bowl and it revealed to have it.
"Yes!" Spike shouted as they try to grab it, Po then gets an idea and knocks the bowl away, Shifu throws a chopstick and it is pinned to the top of a tree. Shifu tries to jump to it, but Spike grabs his feat and knocks him to the ground, they see the dumpling is almost about to fall.

Spike and the others try to get to it but they stop each other with each step, the dumpling then falls and po knocks them away, he is about to catch it but Spike closes his mouth and it starts to slide down, Po then knocks him away and Shifu comes back and kicks it away and Po chases after it. Spike and Shifu toss away the chopsticks and run after him.

Shifu grabs his staff and he and Spike continue to attack him, but Po is able to keep blocking them while keeping it in the air, Po then steps down on Shifu's staff and knocks Spike away and he backflips in the air and they look in awe, Po then grabs lands on the ground and finally grabs it as they look proud of him, they then allow him to eat it. Po then looks at the dumpling before he throws it back to them.
"I'm not hungry" Po says with a smile, Shifu smiles and throws it away
"You're no longer upset." Spike says with a smile.
Po then bows respectfully.
"Masters" Po says with a smile and they do the same, Spike feels proud knowing he was able to teach him just like the 5 hoped he would, he just hoped they are okay..
