Love of the Dragon Warrior

Proposition

After dinner was finished, the masters sat at the table and talked for a while, reminiscing a bit more on the adventures they used to have, what they used to do, and even what their future plans were. After a while, the restaurant was closed and Mr. Ping took to watching everyone talk while he cleaned the dishes and put everything away in preparation for the following day. Afterwards, he grabbed a small wooden box and headed over to the table where Po and his friends were laughing away.

"Remember that one time when Mantis got stuck in the flour jar?" Viper asked with a laugh. "And he hit Po on the head for calling him old?"

"Yep," Po replied with a chuckle. "I'm surprised I don't have a bump anymore."

"Ah, come on," Mantis replied with a grin. "I didn't hit you that hard."

"What are you talking about? You broke the chair in half."

"That's because you have a thick skull."

Mr. Ping popped over and placed a small wooden box on the table. Po quickly looked at it and placed a paw on top. "Dad," he warned. "No embarrassing baby photos, I said."

"But you look so cute!" Mr. Ping begged. "Especially in this picture when you first used the toilet."

As the goose began holding up a picture he had already taken out of the box, Po quickly snatched it and held it in his lap backwards to prevent anyone from looking at it. "No one needs to see th-DAD!" he exclaimed, watching Mr. Ping take out more pictures.

"Oh, look, that's your first customer served!" Mr. Ping said happily. "Mrs. Wu. Of course, she never came back to the restaurant because you accidentally spilled the soup on her, but you were only eight."

He kept placing photos on the table, resulting with Po quickly snatching them up in order to avoid his friends getting a good look at them.

"This picture I took your first day of actual restaurant duty," Mr. Ping remarked, putting down a photo of a teenage Po sweeping. "And this one's a from a few weeks after I found you behind my restaurant...ooh! I remember this one! You were making out with your-"

"DAD!!!!!" Po cried, snatching the next picture up. "Um..hey...can we...look at these later?! Like...when they're not around?!" 

Mr. Ping looked at the masters who were looking over at the photos that Po was hoarding. "Oh of course," he said. "I just didn't want to interrupt all of you; you looked like you were having fun."

"I don't mind catching up later," Po promised. "I'm going to be here for a while."

"And we have all day tomorrow," Crane added.

"Oh! Well in that case...do you mind leaving so that Po and I can talk?"

"Of course not," Viper promised, getting up and moving towards the door with her friends in tow. "We'll see you later, Po."

The masters walked out of the restaurant, leaving Po and Mr. Ping alone to look at pictures.

"Thank you, dad," Po said gratefully.

"No problem, Po. I don't mean to embarrass you, but I just can't help but look at all all of your pictures. It's like reliving the moment all over again."

Po looked back at the picture he had taken from his dad and asked, "Seriously though, dad...how on earth did you get a picture of me kissing my Tigress poster? I would have burned that if I had known you had it."

"Your Tigress poster?!" came Mantis' voice from the screen covering the doorway.

"MANTIS!!!!!"
