The group, stood on the marble doorstep, nervous and eager to get this over with, the most bothered was Khan.
"What if they're home?" Khan asked.
"They are on vacation." Zuko said.
"But they could come early you never know." Khan said.
Suddenly the large gates opened, revealing the Imperial Palace.
"Khan? What are you doing here so soon?" One of the maids asked.
"I came to check on the place." Khan lied.
"I'll make some ginger tea for your guests." The maid offered then rushed off to the kitchen.
"This way." Khan said as she led the rest into her study.
"Are you sure we're supposed to be here?" Po asked.
"I'm sure, you guys are with me." Khan said.
They sat down on the luxury sofas and watched Khan and Zuko pull the books off the shelves.
"It has to be here somewhere." Khan said to herself.
"What are you looking for?" Tigress asked.
"My key." Khan said.
"Did you check that book that's on the pedestal?" Monkey asked.
"Please, it's not there." Zuko said.
"Oh yeah? I bet you 20 almond cookies that I'm right." Monkey said.
"Are you gambling again?" Viper asked.
"No I'm negotiating." Monkey said.
Khan dropped the books she had in her hand, and opened the book on the pedestal.
"Is it there?" Crane asked.
"Hold on." Khan said.
They watched her flip, from page after page until she found that the rest of the books pages were cut into a small hole, there the key was.
"Zuko lost." Khan said holding the key in her hand.
"Dammit!!" Zuko yelled.
"Shh. Let's go upstairs." Khan said.
They left the study and headed to a dark room, which the walls were made from copper and gold.
"Hey you told me you had no cash!" Zuko said.
"I don't have enough!" Khan said.
She unlocked the door.
"So where's the safe?" Po asked looking around.
"It's right in front of you." Khan said.
They all looked down and saw a small metal box.
"I've seen small things, but that is just downright puny!" Tigress said.
"It may look small but it holds a lot." Zuko said.
Khan put in the combination, and the safe opened showing a very large wad of money and many coins.
"Let's count it in my room." Khan said.
"What? What do you mean; you don't allow liquids in the plane?" Shifu asked.
"We just don't want anything flammable to board the plane." The Security Guard said.
"Tooth paste isn't flammable!!! It isn't even a liquid!" Shifu yelled.
"But liquids ooze, so that it a liquid." The Security Guard repeated.
"Just let me board the plane." Shifu said.
"You aren't finished yet." The Guard said.
"Are you shipping any meats, disease, or plantation with you?" The Security Guard asked.
"No." Shifu said.
"Well I want you to fill out this blue card." He said.
"I can't read or write in English." Shifu said
"Yet you can speak it?" The Guard asked.
"Fine. But only Chinese that I can read." The Guard said.
"Ok?" Shifu said, and filled out the following:
Name: 主市府

Date of Departure: 1932 年 11 月 1日,

"Ok that makes a total of 6,846 Yuan in all." Viper said.
"That just leaves us 514 Yuan." Mantis said.
"Tea is ready!" The maid said as she came in.
"Thanks Kiki." Khan said.
"No problem." Kiki said.
"Wow whose trophies are these? Khans are these yours?" Viper asked as she awed the shelves of victory.
"No, those aren't mine." Khan said looking down at the floor.
"Then whose are there?" Po asked.
"Oh god! He asked the question, now she's gonna tell the story!!!" Zuko said as he thumped Po in the head.
"Those were my little sister's." Khan said.
"She must have been a bright person." Viper said.
"She was, she was funny, talented, and a very good cook." Khan said.
"Was she pretty?" Mantis asked.
"We were twins." Khan said.
"Oh. Well, never mind." Mantis said.
Khan threw her spoon at him.
"It was a joke!" He said.
"What was her name?" Tigress asked.
"Sari." Khan said.
"That's an awesome name." Po said.
"But she wasn't as bright as anyone thought she was." Khan said.
"What happened?" Rin asked.
"She was very emotional, depressed, and moody." Zuko said.
"She kept talking about what it would be like to die, and if it was painful or not." Khan said. She began sobbing.
"She killed herself after she was crowned Princess." Khan said.
"And what was even creepier was that she left a note." Zuko said, handing it to Viper.
Viper unfolded the note and read it out loud.
Dear Khan,
'I know for the past 16 years we've been really close but I thought we were drifting farther apart. The day we accepted ourselves to the throne, I've filled myself with lies; I never wanted to be a princess nor an Empress, that always seemed to be your dream, but some dreams become a nightmare. I only wish for God to accept me for who I am, not for what I pretend to be, I'm not perfect, I'm a curse that the Devil has sent upon your life.'
"That's so sad she thinks she's useless." Viper said.
"Is that blood?" Tigress asked pointing at the paper.
"Yes it is." Khan said.
Viper continued reading.
'I have no purpose to live; I've been such a Burdon to you since birth, and I don't see why you won't yell at me like normal sisters do. We are robots to our parents and our City. I was bleeding on the inside, now I'm bleeding on the outside. I have to leave you. I don't want you to have any part of me. Take this necklace and burn it with my body. And tell our parents that I love them.'
"From The Aching Soul of Sari Hiroshima."
Viper held the necklace.
"That's the last connection I had with her." Khan said.
"Why didn't you burn it?" Crane asked.
"It was too painful to give away." Khan said.
"I'm very sorry for your lose." Viper said.
"It's nothing really." Khan said.
"Wait, wait, wait! She wrote this while she was dying from cutting herself up?" Po asked.
"Po!" Tigress nudged him.
"I'm amazed on how she did that myself." Zuko said.
"Well we can't spend the whole day here, we need some quick cash!!!" Zuko yelled.
SOOO SAD! *WIPES AWAY TEARS AS VIOLIN MUSIC PLAYS, PICKS UP CAT AND USES HER AS A TISSUE*
