Before the surprise party, a little day with Summer wil get him busy until party time!

Chapter 20: Spending Time with Summer

As the day goes on, Musaki walks around the village, hoping to find Summer in one of these spots and as he walks past this cafe, he sees Summer sitting there and he immediately walks inside there and stands in front of the seat and he asked, "Is this seat taken?"

Summer jokingly replied, "I'm actually waiting on my boyfriend to come over."

"Oh? What does he look like?" asked Musaki, smiling at her.

"He's sweet, nice, handsome...and today's his 18th birthday." Summer answered, while staring her mate.

Musaki smiled at this and while Summer stared at him, he then said to her, "I'm glad you remembered."

Summer got herself up and hugged her birthday boyfriend and he hugged her back with a deep embrace and she said, "Like I'd forget about your birthday."

"Thanks, Summer." Musaki said, softly.

After that, they both kissed each other on the lips and both pandas sat down and Musaki asked, "Great place they got here. Is it new?"

"Just recently made. They basically have a lot of comics, a stage and excellent service." Summer replied.

That definitely sounds like his place to go, yet for him and Summer, it was also a romantic spot to meet up with and he said, "It's really awesome."

"Just like you." Summer replied.

Musaki ends up looking at Summer's eyes and just smiled at her and it made him feel like he's lost inside of them and feels like he should stare at them forever. Summer then said, "So...have you made up your mind whether you wanna leave?"

"Actually, I'm not going anywhere for a while. I'm still staying at the Valley of Peace." Musaki replied.

That definitely made Summer's heart skip a beat and she's really glad that he's still staying in the Valley and she said, "That's great to hear. My 18th birthday's coming in a few months and I'm considering finding a place of my own."

"Oh, really?" asked Musaki.

Summer nods her head and that made Musaki really happy to hear that and she said, "The first visitor that comes to my new home will be you."

"Promise?" asked Musaki.

"Promise." Summer replied.

Musaki smiled at this and he told her, "I hope you still feel the same way that when I leave the Valley of Peace when I'm 21, I'm taking you with me."

Those words completely made Summer joyful as ever when she heard that he's gonna take her to his homeland in the future where they can actually start off their future together and she said, "Nothing would make me more happier than to be anywhere with you."

Soon, the waiter comes with two cups of mango juice for the two and they picked up their mugs as Summer said, "Happy birthday to you."

"Thanks, Summer." Musaki said, happily.

As the two clinked their cups together, they both drunk the juice and both pandas could not believe the flavor that comes with it and spent the entire morning just talking, laughing, joking around and stuff like that.

Later that afternoon, both Musaki and Summer were walking around the Valley, hand in hand together and Summer asked, "How are you enjoying being 18 so far?"

"It's growing on me. But it's a lot better with you." Musaki replied.

Suddenly, in comes Crane making his way and he said, "Musaki! Master Shifu needs to see you right away! And bring Summer with you too."

Without an answer, Crane flew back to the palace and both pandas were a little confused as to what's up and Musaki said, "Sounds like it's urgent."

"Well, we should head up and see what's up." Summer agreed.

Both of them dashed on their way to the Jade Palace, unbeknownst to Musaki that Summer already knows about the party that the masters are having.

What's happening next...?
