Part 13
I awoke to the peaceful sound of the birds chirping. I got up, stretched my legs, and made my way to the breakfast table.
"Morning!" I called.
The rest of the gang poked their heads up from the table. "Good morning Maya!" they replied.
"Hey Po, did you manage to fall asleep?" I teased.
Po looked at Tigress and smiled, remembering the conversation he had with her the night before.
"Yes, I did." He said.
Po then gave us a bowl of peach dumplings.
I licked my lips. "This is delicious! Where did you learn how to cook?" I asked.
"I lived in a noodle shop. It's hard not to pay attention to my dad cook." He replied.
"Well, tell you dad that's he raised a good son and chef!"
Tigress chuckled. "Well said, Maya, well said."
Master Shifu peered in the doorway. "Good morning everyone. I hope you all slept well."
"We all did, except for Po." I said.
Po blushed. "That's not true..."
Shifu stroked his little beard. "Well after you're done eating, I would like to have Maya come with me to help identify that mysterious follower. She won't say a word to anyone."
"She?" I asked.
"Yes, I think you might recognize her." The red panda replied.
"Okay." I agreed.
I looked to Tigress. "Can Tigress come with me?" I asked.
Shifu agreed. After finishing up, we made our way out of the barracks to the Hall of Heroes.
While walking down to the catacombs, Tigress leaned close to me and whispered. "So, I hear Po had a hard time falling asleep?" she smirked.
Moments later, we were in front of a grown lioness. "Maya do you know this woman?" Shifu asked.
"Uh huh." I replied.
It was my mother.
