7 years later.

The Valley of Peace was, well, peaceful. The market was crowded, children were running and playing around and everything was going quite well within their community and society. And if there were ever to be a threat, the Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior would be there to help.

At the top of the mountain was the Jade Palace, giving them full view of the valley below them. Everyone highly respected them and their great skill in kung fu. They were mighty warriors, but not today.

A giant fat panda, a tiger with tough composure and a tall crane who appeared thin yet sturdy were making their way through the market place while the panda had a nervous look on his face

"So, Po. You dragged us all the way here to help you pick out an exact replica of Shifu's favorite vase?" The crane asked, to which the panda chuckled.

"Yeah, ha! But I couldn't help it after my stunt went wrong. Tigress should've warned me that Shifu kept his-..."

"I should've warned you? You should've done your stupid stunt in the training hall and not when Crane brought-..."

And soon, they began bickering their heads off, until a pig couple came by and were acting unusually cheerful as they held their child like he was a miracle. Tears of happiness filled the mother's eyes and so did the father's.

"Wow, they seem to be overjoyed." Crane muttered as he and the others walked over to them.

"Hey, uh, what's with the over-the-moon cheering? Is there a birthday boy today?" Po smiled at the child.

"No. Our little boy had been dangerously ill and we couldn't afford a doctor, but this wonderful snow leopard has healed him with her healing powers. In fact, she didn't even need to examine him, she somehow magically knew." The mother answered, the father nodded.

"And she barely asked for anything, but we payed her 8 yuan anyway."

"Oh, that's... unusually cheap." Po's eyes widened and so did Tigress and Crane's.

"Are you sure you weren't just scammed by her?" Tigress asked, they shook their heads.

"I've been puking all day and all night and now I feel alive, as if I didn't know what living really felt like!" The child smiled widely, sounding sincere and honest. It was too much to believe for them and were thinking of just asking them about her, since the local doctors might not be able to receive their average payments.

They asked them where they could find her, they pointed to the direction where the big river was and headed towards the river, but there was no one to find. They assumed the pigs lied to them, because they thought the locals could profit off of her healing abilities, so they had to find her and have a word with Shifu about this.

Thinking deeply, they hung around the river that crossed the bamboo forest as they tried to come up with something.

"Y'know, I'm starting to think that this might not be as bad as we think it is, maybe we should just ask-..."

"Po, we don't know whether she is or isn't trying to take over the local doctor's work and make more money than him or take over every doctor's job in town." Tigress interrupted, sitting down on the grass.

"Yeah, but not everyone can afford a doctor, so yeah." Po hummed awkwardly.

"Why would she want to take over the local doctor's job anyway? She might just be traveling around and happened to stop by." Crane suggested, Po nodded as Tigress was still doubting both of them.

"Look, we can assume this person probably does want to make easy money by scamming villagers. I mean, who has magical healing powers anyway? Or we can go find her right now and have a firm talk with her, agree?" Po suggested, only receiving tired and sort of fed up expressions from Tigress and Crane in return and making Po awkwardly grin back at them.
