Morning came. Jia opened her eyes, yawned and stretched. She lifted her head off her pillow and looked around, noticing Shen sleeping on the floor in the corner of the wall. She jumped off her bed and looked at the time.
''Oh my...it's almost eleven o' clock and no one tried to wake me?!'' Jia muttered surprised to herself.
Jia walked up to Shen and poked him to wake him up. ''Shen wake up! It's almost eleven o' clock and you are still not awake!'' Jia hissed.
Shen opened his ruby red eyes and yawned. ''Do I have to...?''
''Yes! Why are you so tired anyway? You couldn't sleep or something?'' Jia asked curious.
''Eh..'' Shen stopped. He suddenly remembered what happened last night. That panda now knows about everything and so does that fox. Plus, that fox has stolen Master Oogway's staff so the Furious Five will probably come after him and the fox might tell the then!
''Shen? Helloooo, this is Earth. I asked you a question.'' Jia said as she poked Shen to make him snap out of it.
''Em..oh yeah! Sorry. I just em...yeah I couldn't sleep. You know I was..kinda em...stressed that somebody would come in during the night.'' Shen lied.
''Oh, okay then.'' Jia replied simply.
Jia took her room key off the end table beside her bed and put the key into the lock to unlock the door. ''Huh? It's unlocked? That's weird.
I remember locking the door before I went to sleep.'' Jia muttered to herself surprised.
Shen's body stiffened. 'Oh no.. I forgot to lock the door before I went back to sleep.' He thought.
''Maybe I did forget to lock the door before I went to sleep because I was so tired? What do you think Shen?'' Jia asked as she turned to Shen.
''Eh...yeah I think so too.'' Shen replied nervously.
''Well, never mind about that. You stay here while I go downstairs to get you some food. I can tell you're hungry.'' Jia smiled as she walked outside her room into the hall and locking the door behind her.
Jia walked down the hall and down the stairs into the kitchen. She opened the door of the kitchen and noticed Po standing there, eating cookies.
''Oh, hi Po!'' Jia greeted Po happily.
''Hey there Jia. You need something?'' Po asked with a a full mouth, forcing himself to swallow his cookie as fast as he possibly could.
''Yes. I need some peaches and maybe one bowl of noodles. Could you get me them?'' Jia asked Po.
''Yes ma'am. I'll be back in a blink with all the things you need.'' Po replied.
''Thank you, Po.'' Jia thanked.
''Oh and should I get an extra amount of peaches and noodles for Shen maybe? He's probably hungry.'' Po asked simply before he went out the door of the kitchen.
Jia's jaw fell wide open and she stared with wide eyes at Po. ''H-how do you know about Shen?''
''Oh um...you see, he was downstairs in the entrance hall fighting some kind of fox that was trying to steal Master Oogway's staff. The thief unfortunately escaped with the staff successfully. Then I came down and noticed them both fighting. I promised Shen that I won't tell anyone though.'' Po explained.
''T-the f-fox noticed him..?'' Jia asked, her voice sounding a bit shaky.
''Well yeah but-'' Po was about to say something but got cut off by Jia.
''The fox knows Shen is alive so HE will spread the word! Now there is absolutely no point for me to hide Shen because EVERYBODY will sooner or later know about our secret!'' Jia hissed.
''Oh. So I can tell Master Shifu and the Five?'' Po asked.
''No! Don't do it! The longer they don't know the better.'' Jia answered with urgency in her eyes.
''Alright, alright. I won't tell them.'' Po sighed.
''Oh and the noodles are over at my dad's noodle shop. Trust me, Shen will like them.'' Po added as he walked out the kitchen door to go fetch the peaches Jia wanted.
Jia nodded and headed out the kitchen and out the gates of the Jade Palace. She went down the steps and into town to get the noodles she needed.
Shen looked out the window, seeing Jia walk down the steps of the Jade Palace. He smiled at her from his window.
