Jia stared over the horizon. The sky was full of beautiful bright stars. The moon was up high, shining brightly at everything below it. Everyone else on the boat were asleep. Jia finally had some quiet time, so she could think. She was interested on who Lord Bohai is. Why does he want to take over China? Does he want to do it because he wants power, or did he have a tough past and he just can't let go of it?

'It's all just like Shen when he was evil.' Jia thought.

Suddenly, Jia noticed someone standing next to her. It was Shen. She turned her head to him. ''Oh hi. Didn't see you there.''

''I see you like looking at the stars, hmm?'' Shen smiled slightly. Jia blushed a bit.

''Oh the stars? No, I just like some quiet time. You know...to think.'' Jia said awkwardly.

''So what are you thinking about?'' Shen asked curiously.

''I've been wondering stuff about Lord Bohai. You know like, why is he trying to take over China in the first place.'' Jia answered as she looked down at the horizon.

Shen said nothing. Jia wanted to ask Shen why did he want to take over China too, but what if he didn't want to talk about it?

''Hey em..Shen? Why did you want to take over China?'' Jia couldn't help it. She was so eager to know.

There was silence again. Jia just kept looking at Shen, but Shen didn't look back at her, he just stared down at the horizon. Jia didn't say anything either, she wanted to give him some time to decide should he tell her or not.

''I think I should get back to sleep.. you know cause, tomorrow we got to all get up early. Enlai is going to wake us up at six in the morning again.'' Shen muttered as he slowly went back to the cabin.

''Aye, Jia you just couldn't help keeping your beak shut now could you...?'' Jia whispered quietly to herself.

Hours later, finally morning came. The sun was barely up from the horizon and it was still not very bright. Enlai threw his blanket off of him and got on his feet. He took out a whistle from his pocket and blew in it as hard as he could, making a very loud noise. Everyone burst their eyes open and jumped on their feet immediately.

''Not again...'' Nuan moaned.

''Good morning Nuan my grumpy friend! It is six in the morning so everyone should be-'' Enlai said cheerfully but got cut off.

''So everyone should be up, yeah yeah we know..'' Everyone sighed at the same time.

Enlai stared at them impressed. ''Well, well, well. Looks like everyone knows the routine by now! Good! Keep up the good work!'' Enlai grinned as everyone else stared at him grumpily.

Tigress marched outside the cabin and onto the deck. She patrolled the surroundings the boat was in.

Enlai giggled. ''Hey Ti, relax. You can at least once give yourself a break!'' Enlai teased.

Tigress growled slightly at him. Enlai rolled his eyes at her. ''I will patrol for you, alright?''

''Fine.'' Tigress replied as she went back to the rest of the Furious Five, who were all back down in the cabin.

Enlai looked around as he leaned slightly over the boat's deck.

Po tapped Jia's shoulder. Jia turned to him. ''Hey Po. What do you need?'' She asked with a smile.

''You have any snacks?'' Po asked politely. Jia could hear his stomach growling. She walked over to the big back pack they brought and rummaged in it. She took out three peaches and handed them over to Po.

''If you want more, there's more in the back pack. But don't eat it all, after all we need some food too.'' Jia giggled and left Po alone as she walked back onto the deck.

Suddenly, they all heard Enlai's loud voice. ''Guys! Guys! Come here! I think I see something nearby!'' Enlai jumped up and down and pointed to the direction where he saw something.

Tigress walked up to Enlai and noticed a village nearby. ''Enlai, I don't think a village is a reason to be all THAT excited about. We can stop there to get more food but then we gotta be off again.'' Tigress explained.

''No, no but look!'' Enlai sighed as he pointed back at the village.

''Look at what? All I see is a village..'' Tigress said as she kept looking straight at the village.

''No but...argh...look at the villagers! They're pandas!'' Enlai exclaimed as he kept pointing his paw at the village.

Po instantly ran up the deck and over to where Enlai and Tigress were standing. Everyone followed Po and looked at the village.

''Pandas? No, that's impossible. Wasn't I the only one who survived the...-'' Po gasped as he saw big figures in the distance. They were bears, just like him and their color of fur was...black and white!

''Enlai your right! Those are pandas!'' Monkey stared with his eyes wide open.

''Okay, okay we are excited that Po isn't the only one but...how would they react if they saw Shen again?'' Nuan asked with a serious look.

''Eh...that's something we are gonna have to think through..'' Jia replied unsure as everyone turned their heads toward Shen.
