Author's Notes:     Hey, thanks for the reviews! Well, on with the story!

The convincing Words: Farewell to Panda!!

Ling was gone. Miharu stood there alone, facing the door.

Miharu:     Urrgh! That Xiao!  She's probably gone to search for Jin! Hmphf! What's so important about him?!

She stomped her foot on the ground. She then folded her arms and turned toward the window. Her anger quickly faded as

She ran towards the window. She ran her fingers up and down the window. She had finally realized what had happened. Her eyes

Widened at the thought.

Miharu:     It's all MINE!!!!

Xiaoyu:    Hey Panda! Why did you call me here?

Xiaoyu:    What? Is something wrong?

Panda reached for something in her purse. She then took out a picture.

Xiaoyu:    Oh! I remember this! *she smiles*

It was a picture of Jin, Xiao, and Panda. Xiao and Jin were in their school uniforms, panda was in between them while ling was pulling Jin's arm.

Xiaoyu:    I can't believe you still had this!

Ling remembered what happened that day. It was Jin's last day of school he was already graduating. Not sure of what was to happen to him, Ling decided she wanted a picture to remember him by if he decided to leave Japan. The problem Jin wasn't so fond of having his picture taken. But that day, Ling had tricked him into taking one with her. She smiled and looked up at Panda.

Xiaoyu:    Why are you showing me this?

Panda points to Jin in the picture.

Xiaoyu:    Yes, that's Jin. Oh, I see. You want to go searching for Jin. Is that it?

Panda shakes her head.

Xiaoyu:    No?

Panda points to Ling.

Xiaoyu:    Me? You want me to search for Jin? You'll come with me right?

Panda looks down.

Xiaoyu:    Are you afraid of becoming on the endangered species list? Is that it?

Panda shakes her head.

Xiaoyu:    But why? Please say you'll come! Together we'll search the world for Jin!

Panda just stares at the ground.

Xiaoyu:    Please say you'll come! Please, Panda.. Panda please!

Panda never looked at her. Xiao grew sad and dug her face between her knew. She began to think….

Xiaoyu:    But why….

Just then she heard a familiar voice ringing through her head.

Voice:    You're strong Xiao. You can do anything you want, but you first have to believe it yourself.

She smiled to herself.

Xiaoyu:    Jin….

She quickly got up and dusted herself. Panda jerked her head upward.

Xiaoyu:    Okay! *nods* I'll do it!

She smiled sweetly at Panda and bent down to hug her.

Xiaoyu:    Thank you, my best friend.

She pulled away.

Xiaoyu:    I wont forget you.
