Everyone soon returned to the Valley of Peace, even the pandas joined them. Po stood together with the Six as the villagers and the pandas stood in the courtyard beneath them. Him and the Six were demonstrating and teaching everyone kung fu. There were drums, gongs and food. And lots of confetti.

"Ready!" Po shouted excitedly as everyone participated.

It was loud and cheerful as everything went successfully. But Mantis's panicked screaming was what cut through all that cheerful laughter.

"Monkey, help me!" Mantis shouted as the little panda girl still held him in her tiny hand.

Monkey laughed as the little panda girl smiled.

"Greeny Baby!"

"Get 'em off me!" Mantis yelled, everyone laughed as she trained with Tigress and Daiyu.

"It's only a child, Mantis." Daiyu laughed. "A very cute one, just like those other fuzz-balls."

"They sure are cute. You might expect it, but I do like to have my own children one day." Crane nodded.

"You do? Actually, me too. I-I guess." Daiyu replied.

Until she, Po and everyone else successfully performed the chi technique and gave chi to everything that lived around them.

Crane did notice a slightly off tone in Daiyu's voice.

After the ceremonial training, Daiyu stood under the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom, doing tai chi as the petals flew around her and followed each of her movements.

She stopped when she heard the sound of wings flapping and realized Crane had landed right behind her.

"Hey, Daiyu. I was looking all over for you." Crane said, Daiyu shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh, well, I'm right here. Didn't mean to worry you. I thought you joined the others to get dinner."

"Well, I had something more important on my mind. So they went without me." Crane replied. "But about earlier, are you okay? You didn't sound too thrilled when you said you also wanted kids."

Daiyu frowned, then she sighed deeply.

"I do want children, but just take a good look at me. What about me says I'd be a fit mother? What if I'm not able to do as well as most mothers?"

"Hey, you shouldn't worry about those things and you shouldn't compare yourself with other mothers. I've seen how you're around kids and you'd be more than fit to have one of your own." Crane assured her. As Daiyu's expression softened, he then said. "But like I've said, I had something more important on my mind."

"Is it so important it's worth not beating Po to the dinner table and let him raid the kitchen?" Daiyu asked curiously. 

"This is the most important moment of my life and I've prepared myself for quite a long time now." Crane replied, Daiyu's eyes widened.

"Okay, now I really have to know." Daiyu replied.

"Believe me, you are gonna know. You'll be delighted I stayed, because otherwise it'll all be ruined." Crane assured her, Daiyu sighed.

"Come on, come on. My curiosity is sick and your answer is the only cure for it."

"Oh, you'll be cured soon, better even. And it will be even more miraculous if I just showed you." Crane chuckled as he took out a small box from behind his back and opened it.

"I got Shifu's and Bo's blessing. Komodo obviously didn't as he already lost the privilege to be in your life. Literally. And if I were to ask your birth father, Tai Lung, I'd probably join him in the Spirit Realm."

There were two necklaces in the box, one Yin and one Yang. It were two necklaces that would make one symbol when placed together.

"Daiyu, my love. Ever since you've stepped foot here, me and everything else has become so much better and brighter. I've seen so many absurd couples, so we sure aren't an exception. But that doesn't matter. I want to spend every day of our lives trying to make you happy and carefree. You are the Yin to my Yang. You are my other half. Daiyu, will you do the honor of being my wife?" Crane asked nervously with a smile.

Daiyu gasped, her hands covering her mouth, before she then leapt forward and wrapped her arms around him. Crying tears of joy.

"Oh, my gosh! Yes, yes, yes! Of course, I will!" Daiyu sniffed. "You have no idea how long I've waited for someone to call me their Yin."

"Well, you're my Yin now and I'm your Yang." Crane smiled as he put the Yin necklace around Daiyu's neck and Daiyu did the same to Crane with the Yang necklace.

"And this means we'll be together till death part us." Crane smiled, leaning forward and touching Daiyu's forehead with his, both of them closing their eyes.

"For now, death is far from parting us." Daiyu chuckled, until both of them kissed each other sweetly and warmly.

While kissing, the sun was beginning to set and the blossom petals were flying through the sky, making their love all the more beautiful.
