Musaki receives some awesome letters from people from Shanghai Secluded Valley.


Chapter 8: Birthday Messages

With only two more days left until Musaki's birthday, Musaki was busy meditating outside of the Training Hall, just finding some inner peace and inner strength inside of him and clears his mind on every little thing that gets in the way and just focused on himself more so than his worries.

While he was at peace, his mind began playing thoughts about celebrating a special day with him and his Jade Palace family and to him, nothing could be perfect nor more awesome than spending time with family and friends...which would probably be the best gift he'll ever receive.

After about 45 minutes of meditating, Musaki decided to head to the Sacred Peach Tree, but not until Zeng flew in front of him with a scrollfull of messages and when he looked at those, he asked, "Where they from?"

"From Shanghai Secluded Valley." Zeng responded.

And Musaki knew that if it's from Shanghai Secluded Valley, it must be from his relatives and some of his dad's family friends and when he opened the first scroll, he could see the name 'Shin Hai and family' in front of it and he opens the scroll and reads the message.

Xing-Fu...hard to believe that in a few days, you're turning from little cub to full-grown panda adult. When I found out about your birthday, I knew that you'd grow into adulthood soon. I just kept thinking about that same little cub that my best friend was so lucky to have as his first offspring all up until that Tai Lung killed your parents. But after seeing you for the first time in years, you've officially grown up. I'm confident that you're gonna take on the world and face so many possibilities that's coming your way and we'll support you all the way as you grow up. Happy birthday, Xing-Fu and I hope your future will be as bright as the sun. Shin Hai.

Musaki chuckled softly after reading this message from Shin Hai and it made the impression that he is indeed growing up, which is a great start to his birthday weekend. Then, he got another one from Shin Hai's oldest, Shao.

He picks it up and it reads...

Xing-Fu...or Musaki...whichever way I can call ya, the first time I saw you in person was only a month ago, but I feel like I've known you for years already. When my dad told me that you're gonna turn 17, I thought to myself...what do I do to make your day special? I just hope that you have a really great birthday because this is one that will always be one to remember. Remember, you can only be a teenager once...so enjoy the last teen year as if it was the last day on earth. Best of luck in everything you do. Shao.

"That's so sweet." Musaki added.

Suddenly, more scrolls fill in very quickly that wishes Musaki a happy 17th birthday and the overflow of scrolls made him more and more happier than ever and he truly felt really appreciated and loved at Shanghai Secluded Valley, knowing fully exact that his birthday would make it all the more special.

He was hoping to receive one from his grandparents, but as he looked up, there was nothing else and he looked at Zeng and asked, "Is there anything from my grandparents?"

Zeng cleared his throat and replied, "Not yet. Your grandparents told me that he and your grandmother are gonna send you a very special message either the day before or the day of your birthday and added a special surprise in it too."

That really widened Musaki's eyes to hear that his grandparents are gonna add something very special too and he smiled happily and said, "I can't wait! Thanks, Zeng! Now my birthday is starting to become very special."

Zeng then flew away for a while and as he looked at all the scrolls, Musaki picked them up one by one and took it to his room and placed it on his treasure chest where he'll treasure those heartfelt and kind messages always.

"Thank you guys so much...for making my birthday start out special." Musaki whispered, to himself.


And he will receive that message from his grandparents soon.
