" po? " she said they share the same room together she was blind but doesn't let it get in her way Po looks around his roomand see that it's filled with various Kung Fu posters

(including a poster featuring all of the Five) and souvenirs, and a wooden version of the Sword of Heroes (the green sword).

Po sighs and attempts to kick himself to his feet, but finds his belly too worthy a foe "sorry sis didn't mean to wake you"he said

"its alright" she yawns his sister is name Haku she is a linx cat

"another kung fu dream?" she asked getting out of bed

"yeah" he replies

" Po! Haku What are you two doing up there?" their dad asked from downstairs

" Uh, nothing! "He hops to his feet and faces his action figures

." Hi-ya! Monkey! Mantis! Crane! Viper! Tigress! Grrraahh-- "

Outside on the balcony of the neighboring house, a pig watering flowers stares at Po. Po tries to play it cool and then quickly ducks out of sight Haku was laughing at him

". Po! Haku! Let's go! You two are late for work!" their father said

"coming"they both said Haku got up and walk her way to the stairs as Po takes a ninja star from his floor and chucks it at the wall. bounces off. He throws the star again, but it bounces off again.

He quickly picks it up and heads downstairs where he trips making Haku trips as well and falls the rest of the way. He falls flat on his face on the kitchen floor and on poor Haku

"Po your heavey" Haku gasp . A panda-shaped shadow looms over Po and Haku

" Sorry, Dad and Haku"

po said" sorry' doesn't make the noodles." their dad said Reveals that the shadow is actually caused by a basket being carried by a small goose

. Po gets up and helps Haku up "sorry sis" he said

" its alright not like it cause me any pain" i mutter softly then they started to work

" What were you doing up there, all that noise?" dad asked

"just dreamng dad" Po replies

" About what?"

" Huh?"

"What were you dreaming about?" dad asked He puts down the basket and begins chopping vegetables next to Po as he listens.

" What was I... uh... I was dreaming about..." He sees dad listening expectantly, and can't bring himself to say the truth. He glances down at the bowl he's holding.

" Uh... noodles." po said dad stops chopping vegetables.

"Noodles? You were really dreaming about noodles?" he asked

" that sounds odd" Haku mumbles

" Uh, yeah. What else would I be dreaming about?" po asked Po hands a bowl of noodles to a customer, then realizes his throwing star is sitting in it. he looks nervous to the customer

" Oh, careful, that soup is... sharp!"

"Oh, happy day! My son, finally having the noodle dream! "He begins rummaging through something and arrives with an apron and a noodle hat. He ties the apron around Po's waist and places the noodle hat in Po's hands

. " You don't know how long I have been waiting for this moment. This is a sign, Po! and only if Haku has it too then both of my children has the dream!"

"Doubt it " Haku said from the sink po looks at the noodle hat nervously

." Uh... a sign of what?"

"You are almost ready to be entrusted with the secret ingredient of my "Secret Ingredient Soup".

And then you will fulfill your destiny and take over the restaurant!" dad quickly runs over to section of wall with three portraits and points at them accordingly.

"Just as I took it over from my father, who took it over from his father, who won it from a friend in a game of mahjong."

" some prize" Haku comment.

" Dad, Dad, Dad, it was just a dream." Po chuckles nervously as Haku rolls her eyes

" No, it was the dream. We are noodle folk. Broth runs through our veins. " While saying this, he hands two customers their bowls without even looking at them.

"Dad, didn't you ever, I dunno, want to do something else? Something besides noodles?" po asked

"Actually, when I was young and crazy, I thought about running away and learning how to make tofu." dad amits haku listen in

" So why didn't you?!" both po and Haku asked

"Oh, because it was a stupid dream. Can you imagine me making tofu? "He laughs at the thought."

"No. We all have our place in this world. Mine is here. And yours is--" " I know. Is here." Po sighs " No, it's at tables two, five, seven, and twelve. "He loads Po's arms with bowls of soup.

" Service with a smile!"

"i'll help po" Haku said tries to walk over to po put dad stops her

" oh no you don't last time you tried to help you made the whole place a mess" he said

" aw come on dad im tired feeling useless" she whines"

"i know but your place is here in the kitchen washing them" her dad said smiling

An old red panda is playing a flute.

He is surrounded by the bushes and trees that nestle between the Training Hall. From behind the bushes, stealthy dark shapes move in the foreground. He is still playing and seems oblivious. Five figures explode from the undergrowth simultaneously, diving on him. He moves like lightning, the flute now wielded like a staff. He deflects, blocks, dodges, parries, and the attackers go flying.

They roll and pick themselves up, turning to face him, who is now standing - poised - ready for their next move

"well done students if you were trying to disappoint me." He uses his flute to point at the Five, who respectfully bow as their name is mentioned.

"Tigress, you need more ferocity. Monkey, greater speed. Crane - height. Viper - subtlety. Mantis--" "Master Shifu!"

Shifu suddenly points the flute at a scared palace goose.

" What?!" shifu asked impatiently zeng was startled

" Aah! It's Master Oogway. He wants to see you." Shifu looks up, concerned.

He runs to the Jade Palace, which is lined with palace geese. Candles, incense, and smoke fill the room. The door bursts open, the candles flicker. Shifu enters and comes to a halt. He takes a deep breath and bows.

" Master Oogway? You summoned me. "He looks up without unbowing

." Is something wrong?" Shifu asked

He looks up at a tortoise shell perfectly balanced on a thin wooden staff. Master Oogway, a wise and elderly tortoise, emerges slowly from his meditative position and climbs down effortlessly.

"Why must something be wrong for me to want to see my old friend?" Oogway asked

"So... nothing's wrong?"

"Well, I didn't say that." shifu looks up, concerned. Oogway opens his mouth... and blows out a candle.

And another candle. And another. And another. Oogway opens his mouth to say something, then blows out another candle. Finally, an impatient Shifu uses his Kung Fu to blow them all out.

" You were saying?" Shifu asked

" I have had a vision Tai Lung will return." Oohway said looking at Shifu

Shifu looks stricken. Quick, impressionistic images of a large, shadowy figure (Tai Lung) flash in his mind. Shifu is rattled.

"That is impossible! He is in prison!" he shouted

" Nothing is impossible." Shifu stares in horror for a second before reacting.

" Zeng!" Zeng comes flying in, and Shifu gets in his face. "

Fly to Chorh-Gom Prison and tell them to double the guards, double their weapons. Double everything! Tai Lung does not leave that prison!" Shifu order

" Yes, Master Shifu!" Zend said then

the goose flies off, but then hits a column. Then he is off. Back on Oogway, as he walks away from Shifu. Oogway then said to himself"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." shifu rushes back to Oogway."W-we have to do something. We can't just let him march on the Valley and take his revenge! He'll, he'll--" Oogway looks into the water of the Moon Pool.

"Your mind is like this water, my friend. When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear." Shifu and Oogway stare into the pool. Oogway settles the water with his staff, revealing the reflection of an intricately-carved dragon clutching a scroll in its mouth. Oogway Looking up with Shifu." It is time." Shifu Looks at Oogway." But who? Who is worthy to be trusted with the secret to limitless power? To become... the Dragon Warrior?"
