Here's more of the story and hope Animation Universe 1995 likes.
Later that night Mai was getting ready for bed as she was tired but hoping that tomorrow she could play with Sheng but hoped he would be okay and find a home and a mom and Dad that loved him as she then was done washing as she went to her bedroom as she was waiting for her Mom to come in and tell her some stories like Uncle Shifu.
She then climbed into bed as she was snuggling up to a plush Chinese dragon which her father had given her the night she was born but was humming something her mother sometimes sang.
The door opened as Jori walked in as she loved this time of day as she could spend time with Mai.
She then climbed onto the bed beside Mai.
"I heard you made an new friend." she told her.
Mai then nodded in reply.
"Yeah.
His name is Sheng.
The other kids are mean to him too like me.
The other kids wouldn't let me play with them." she told her.
Jori understood that she and Shifu hadn't told Mai the truth about what had happened to her father but it was a good reason as she would feel bad about herself.
"I'm happy you made a friend.
But you can't sneak off like that.
You had us worried." Jori told her.
"I'm sorry Mommy.
I don't like being stuck in the Jade Palace all the time." she replied.
Jori knew that but knew that she couldn't bear it if something had happened to her.
Jori then told her stories as she had Mai in her arms as she was telling her stories about the Dragon Warrior and a brave warrior princess protecting the Valley of Peace.
Mai yawned as she was getting aleepy.
Jori then tucked her in but kissed Mai's forehead.
She then left Mai to sleep.
She then joined Shifu as he was knowing she wanted to tell Mai about her father.
He knew that other kids didn't understand Mai but happy she'd made a friend but knew maybe learning kung fu would help her but Jori wasn't so sure knowing she would be good at it like Po and she couldn't let what happened to him happen to her.
"I know but this could be a good thing.
Everything happens for a reason." he told her.
Jori knew that was something Ogg-way used to say.
She then went outside and sat under the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
Like her husband, she ate when upset.
Thoughts were running through her mind.
What should I do?
I want Mai to have a good life.
But I'm afraid of what might happen.
Mai might become the next Dragon Warrior.
I should be happy.
Maybe Shifu's right.
She loves kung fu like her father.
Maybe it would help her come out of her shell.
Please Po help me if you're there.
Her eyes opened as she had tears in her eyes as Shifu was watching.
He felt bad about her as she missed Po and knew if he was here, he would be a good father and love Mai as she did but was using his chi to find Po's knowing he'd been in the Shang-hai mountains.
But he sensed a familiar chi aura. .
Could it be his aura?
I hope it is.
Jori is missing him along with Mai.
He then focused as he was tapping into his chi aura.
Please Po answer.
Your wife and Mai need you.
He then felt Po's aura in the Shang-hai Mountains but left at once.
Mai's jade green eyes fluttered open the next morning as she had a dream about her father but she was hungry as she got up rubbing sleep from her eyes but got dressed and ran to the kitchen as Jori was cooking making breakfast as Mai noticed Uncle Shifu wasn't there along with her aunts and uncles but Jori knew they'd found Po's aura in the Shang-hai Mountains but hoped it was true
She'd decided not to tell Mai in case it was hopeless but she had faith her husband would return.
"Mommy?
Can I go play with Sheng later?" Mai asked.
"Yes you can.
Just be careful." she said.
Mai jumped up and down in excitement.
Jori laughed at her daughter.
i know Po will love seeing her.
When they do find him.
She was making dumplings for lunch as she saw Mai finish her breakfast and run off to get ready for the day as she was in her room but put on a bandanna that her father had made for her.
She then was putting things in a backpack as she was going to play in the forest.
She then left her room but grabbed her lunch bag putting it in the backpack gently.
Jori then kissed her forehead before leaving.
"Can't catch me princess!" Sheng said laughing.
Mai and him were in the forest playing Tag as she'd never played games like this before as she was always playing by herself in the Jade Palace but was liking the games Sheng was showing her as he was stunned that nobody in the Jade Palace showed her to play.
"No fair Sheng!" she said giggling.
She was catching up to him.
He then tackled her to the ground as they were play fighting.
"China is all mine Dragon Empress!" Sheng said laughing.
"Don't count me out Emperor Sheng.
Wuxi Finger Hold!" she said getting off him.
Sheng got to his feet laughing.
"Wow you're good at that.
You sure you don't know kung fu?" he asked.
Mai shook her head in reply.
It was lunchtime and Mai and Sheng were sitting under the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom as Mai was sharing her dumplings and eating peaches but Jori was watching them and thought it was cute but knew Sheng was Tai-Lung's son but didn't care as he was making her daughter happy but hoped Po was okay as she hadn't told Mai yet about Po.
She hoped things were okay in the Shang-Hai Mountains.
Mai was laughing as she was making a mess.
"I hope you get adopted.
You deserve family like mine." she said.
"T-Thanks Mai.
The grown ups don't like me very much.
They give me bad looks.
I don't know why." Sheng replied.
"It'll be okay.
I know you're amazing." Mai told him.
Sheng blushed hearing this.
They then were playing with a ball.
Jori smiled as she saw the sun was setting.
"Come on Mai honey.
It's dinner time." she told her.
Mai then hugged Sheng as he left.
She then went into the Jade Palace.
