"Oh, I see." Mr. Ping said, afraid that Po no longer loved him.

Po saw this and smiled. "Dad, I also had a realization. I know who I am now: I'm your son and yours alone," he said proudly, waiting for a response.

Mr. Ping smiled as he hugged Po tightly. " Oh Po, we have so much to do, after all you and Tigress are going to be the rulers of Gongmen city, My son and daighter-in law, the rulers of a city." He grinned.

Po smiled and hugged his father back. "You know, Dad, if you like, we can help you restart the noodle shop here in the city. I'm sure that the residents will love your soup," he said.

" Yes, and this time I'll have a kitchen you can stand up in." Mr. Ping said.

[KingKovu44]

Po only laughed. "Yes, there's a lot to do. I'm totally out of my element here. Tigress and I were both trained to be warriors, not rulers. I'll try to do the best I can," he said. He thought for a moment. "Tigress, I hope I don't screw this up like I've screwed up things in the past," he said.

" Remember what Master Oogway taught us PO.The path to victory requires One to banish thought. Don't expect to win, don't expect to lose, expect nothing.?" She explained to her husband.

"Nothing?" The twins asked.

Tigress nodded. " Because one can't think about victory without also considering defeat, and thinking about defeat distracts the mind from doing what needs to be done in order to win." She said.

"Ok, and that is?" The twins asked.

" Whatever destiny Oblidges one to do, one's responisbilities., because someone who abandons their responsibilities is already defeated." She finished with a loving smile.

Po only smiled. "Well, I guess we'll see what the future has in store for us," he said, holding Tigress close for a long moment. He then looked at the group. "Well, shall we head back to the palace to see what happens next? Dad, if you want, you can come with us. I'm sure it will be interesting. One person told us that there is going to be a big coronation ceremony," he said.

"Yes, the perfect chance to serve both new and old customers." He grinned.

" Grandpa, you really should rest." Jong said.

" Yeah, you took a beating." Long added.

" Oh no, I have to make up for lost time, set up my noodle cart, sell bean buns and dumplings, and look for a new noodle shop." He said as everyone rolled they're eyes.

Po sighed. "All right, let's head back. I'm sure our new advisers and aides are going to be asking us a million questions, so it's best to get it over with," he said. Upon seeing his family nod, they headed back to the palace. Upon arrival, one of the advisers, a ram, ran up to them. "Great. You're here. The official sketch artist needs to make a sketch of you two for the statue that will be erected in the center of the city," he said to Po and Tigress.
