Jia quickly rushed over to Mr. Ping's noodle shop like if there was a fire. She squeezed through the crowd of people and waited in line.
Jia sighed. She hated waiting. As she waited she tapped her foot against the ground. After twenty minutes, she finally was at Mr. Ping's counter.
''Phew! Hello. May I order two bowls of noodles please?'' She asked.
Mr. Ping looked at her awkwardly. It wasn't common to see a Peacock around here. He suddenly snapped out of it. ''Em, yes. Coming right up.'' Mr. Ping replied.
Jia decided to watch Mr. Ping cook. She had to admit, she was impressed on how fast Mr. Ping could actually cook because in about seven minutes, he handed the two bowls of noodles over to Jia.
''Thank you.'' Jia thanked. She wanted to ask Mr. Ping on how he could cook so fast but when she noticed the big line behind her, she decided that maybe it was a good idea not to.
''How much?'' She asked.
''Eight yuan.'' Mr. Ping replied simply.
Jia nodded and took out Eight yuan from her purse. She held one bowl of noodles in her right wing and the second bowl of noodles in her left wing and started slowly and carefully squeezing through the crowd again so she wouldn't spill anything.
Po walked up the steps to where the magnificent, huge Peach Tree was standing. Po brought a trampoline to make his job easier. He placed the trampoline he brought beside the tree. He got on the trampoline and started bouncing on it. As he bounced, he plucked the peaches he could reach off the tree. He got off the trampoline and placed the peaches in a basket he brought. He trotted down the steps and ran over to the gates of the Jade Palace to wait for Jia.
Jia made it to the stairs and started walking up them. Po leaned on the wall near the gates. It took Jia a while to get up since she was taking her time while walking up the steps of the Jade Palace so she wouldn't spill the noodles.
Finally she made it. She noticed Po was fast asleep on the ground. She sighed and rolled her eyes. She nudged Po to wake up.
''W-wah? Who is it?'' Po muttered as he yawned.
''It's me Jia. Come on let's get all this food up to my room, and don't worry, I will share some with you too.'' She smiled.
Po nodded and followed Jia up to her room, holding the basket of peaches. Jia handed one bowl of noodles over to Po and she unlocked the door of her room. Po followed her inside.
Jia and Po noticed Shen sitting in the corner of the wall. Jia and Po placed the food in front of Shen.
''Here you go. Got the food.'' Jia smiled.
''Thanks.'' Shen thanked as he took a peach from the basket and started nibbling on the skin of the peach.
After they all ate their fill, Po got up and started walking towards the door of Jia's room.
''Where are you going?'' Jia asked as she turned to the direction Po was.
''I think I should be going now. I had a nice time with you guys but I think the Five will starting thinking somethings up if I won't be down there with them'' Po explained.
''Oh okay. Bye then.'' Jia waved goodbye to Po.
''Yeah yeah, bye.'' Shen sighed.
Jia gave Shen a glare. Po chuckled. ''Bye you guys.''
Po left and closed the doors of Jia's room behind him. Suddenly he noticed Tigress standing behind him with a suspicious look on her face.
''Woah! Tigress you scared me.'' Po jumped back.
''I saw you and Jia carrying a lot of food to her room. What were you doing in there?'' Tigress asked.
''Oh um..I just eh...just wanted to get to know her better, and is better way than to get some food and talk?'' Po explained nervously, hoping Tigress didn't notice Shen.
''Oh, okay. The hardcore can understand that.'' Tigress chuckled.
