Viper and Po led Ming, Nuan, Jia and Liu to their rooms. 'Wow, we don't have to share rooms. We all have our own.' Jia thought, feeling a bit more relaxed that Ming and Nuan would be less likely to find Shen.
Jia entered her room, and she had to admit, she really liked it. It had a nice, comfy bed, a few decorations here and there, a window that had a view at town, everything was perfect. She locked the door of her room so no one would enter and opened the top of the sack Shen was in.
Jia helped Shen out of the sack. Shen sat on the side of the bed while Jia quickly unpacked her things.
''So, is the panda here in this palace?'' Shen asked.
''Yes, he is.'' Jia answered simply.
''What if he sees me?'' Shen asked, worried.
''He won't. Don't worry, I will make sure of it. I will keep the door of my room locked so no one in the Jade Palace will come in here.'' Jia answered.
Shen sighed in relief, but he still did not feel entirely safe. ''I will leave you here for now. I have to go down to the entrance hall of the Jade Palace. Master Shifu, Po and the Furious Five are waiting for me.'' Jia explained.
''Who the heck is Po?'' Shen asked, looking awkwardly at Jia.
Jia rolled her eyes and sighed. ''Po is the Dragon Warrior. Or as you call him, the panda.''
''Oh, okay..'' Shen said.
Jia unlocked the door of her room and stepped out into the hall. She then used her key to lock the door behind her and she trotted downstairs into the entrance hall to meet up with her friends, the Furious Five, Master Shifu and the Dragon Warrior.
Shen waited for Jia to come back. As he sat on the bed, he thought about what has happened before the cannon fell on him. Was what he did really the right thing? Should he try to change? He knew that even if he did want to change, no one in all of China would believe him. Suddenly, Shen remembered the words of Master Oogway. 'You must believe. You can change. You will get help from someone.' Master Oogway's words raced into Shen's mind. ''But who..?'' He whispered to himself.
Jia finally returned to her room. By the time she returned, it was already midnight. Everyone in the Jade Palace were asleep. Jia noticed Shen sleeping on the floor in the corner of the wall. She placed a blanket over him and she let herself fall on her bed and almost instantly, she fell asleep.
Suddenly, from downstairs in the entrance hall, came strange noises. Everyone in the Jade Palace were asleep so no one heard a thing. A strange figure tip-toed in the entrance hall, watching all the artifacts and valuable things. The mysterious figure didn't notice it was walking towards a pedestal with a vase on it, since it was dark. The figure tripped of the pedestal and fell, making a slight noise, echoing through the halls of the Jade Palace. Suddenly, the figure stopped, and stared at a strange wooden staff. ''Jackpot.'' the figure whispered. It was Master Oogway's staff!
Shen opened his eyes halfway, he must have heard the noise. He slowly got off the ground and as quietly as he could, took Jia's room key off the end table beside her bed. Quietly, not to wake Jia, he unlocked the door of Jia's room and stepped outside to the hall to go to investigate where the strange noise came from.
