Kung Fu Panda 4 (rewritten)

Forgotten Memories.

"Okay, let's try this again."

Po had been training and sparring with Zhen for about half an hour to improve her stamina, reflexes and awareness. Looking back at what happened at the tavern, Po felt like Zhen could use some self defense class to protect herself.

While doing so, Po has been shouting different types of questions to Zhen in order to have her keep up with what happened these decades in the outside world and to educate her about him and the Savage Six as well. That had become a method that worked quite well for Zhen.

"Who trained the Savage Six?"

"Master Shifu!"

"What was the Savage Six first called?"

"The Furious Five!"

"Who did the Savage Six stop from taking over China and destroying kung fu?"

"Lord Shen!"

Zhen soon got into the offense and started sparring with Po. Dodging and blocking her attacks, Po kept asking and educating her.

"Which members of the Savage Six are married?"

"Master Crane and Master Daiyu!"

"And who did they marry?"

"Each other!"

Zhen then jumped and swung at Po's jaw

"And ska-blam!"

And when she tried to land an uppercut on him, she felt a painful sensation on her knuckles and immediately pulled her hand back, hissing in pain and discomfort.

"Darn it! Does throwing punching always hurt that much?" Zhen groaned.

"Not gonna happen when you use too much force the first time, especially when you've only started training right now." Po answered.

"Yeah, still not bad though." Zhen shrugged her shoulders, grinning proudly as she was done rubbing her knuckles.

"Yeah. But if you really wanna land a good punch, use your first two knuckles. That way, your opponent will go down a little easier and then you can go "skadoosh"." Po instructed, striking a pose.

""Skadoosh" isn't a word." Zhen said.

"And "ska-blam" is?" Po asked, Zhen snickered.

"Yeah."

"Well, I gotta say, training like this did help me a little." Zhen admitted, Po nodded.

"Indeed. And it kind of helped me too."

"It did? How exactly?" Zhen asked curiously.

"Well, it made me realize that I might exactly be the kind of mentor the others say I would be, the kind of mentor that the new students need." Po explained, making Zhen slowly nod at him.

Looking back, they could see Tigress, Mantis and Daiyu chatting with Han a few feet away from them. Though the conversation seemed secretive, it still seemed wholehearted.

Zhen turned back to Po and said.

"Hey, um... you know, Po." Zhen cleared her throat. "Being a thief wasn't what I dreamt of when I was a kid. And growing up, I wanted to open one of those acupuncture places that are all the rage and are really good for my pockets too."

They soon noticed Daiyu walking past them while holding four white flowers in her hands. Lilies to be exact. As she walked into the street, Zhen fiddled with her fingers as she asked.

"You think she might still be pissed at me?"

"Daiyu never holds a grudge." Po responded, gulping. "For that long."
