"Mom?" Said Isamu walking into the training hall. He looked around seeing no one hummed before turning around to face Shifu. "What are you doing in there?" Said Shifu taking his paw. "Mommy?" Said Isamu pointing to the training hall sadly. "Your parents are busy, Isamu. Wheres Ryu amd Kameko?" Said Shifu heard someone shout in pain. "Kameko! Thats not meant to thrown." Said Crane before a tiny scream was heard. "There you are." Said Tigress corning the corner holding Ryu who looked grumpy. "Trouble with the children." Said Shifu. "You have no idea." Said Tigress. "Have they gotten any sleep?" Said Shifu. "We did put them down but when we had our backs turned they were gone." Said Tigress. "Take them to their room. I know way to get them to rest." Said Shifu. "Thank you Sh- Ow!" Said Tigress after Ryu hit her in the eye. She groaned rubbing her eye calming herself taking them to the room. "Ryu." Said Shifu sternly. Ryu whined looking away in Tigress' arms but kept on glancing. "No hit Tiggy." Said Isamu. "Thank you Isamu. Papa Shifu has it under control." Said Shifu walking to the dorms. Tigress carried Ryu taking them to the kids room placing them down on the matt. "I thought the other two would here." Said Crane limp over due Kameko holding onto his left leg. "Go rest up. Seemed these three gotten the better of you. Viper. Monkey would you mind looking after them while i make the children their drink. It'll take a few minutes." Said Shifu. "Anything for the kids special day." Said Monkey walking over to Ryu who looked upset. He started tickling him and started tossing and catching him few times to make him laugh. Viper slithered to Isamu and Kameko letting them touch her scales while Shifu left. Shifu walked to the kitchen seeing Raaz cutting some fruit. "Arent you supposed to enjoy your day with Lien?" Said Shifu. "She's trying to invite some of the kids friends over for their first birthday. Something small and simple at Pings." Said Raaz.
"I have been to ask. Have they done any training on their shifting?" Said Shifu. "Yeah. We practice with them. So when the valley has new incomers. We whistle for them to turn to Snow leopards and for humans is a click of the tongue. Learned a bit and gotten the hang of it but we change that when they get older." Said Raaz. "Good. I was curious since they held their snow leopard form since you and Lien left them with Tigress and Crane." Said Shifu. "Were they behaving?" Said Raaz. "Kameko threw something at Crane when i heard them and Ryu punched Tigress in the eye. Isamu was wondering around looking for Lien. I suppose those three needed to nap early." Said Shifu. "I apologize for that." Said Raaz covering the cut up fruit. "They sometimes agree to take a nap but other times they act like that." Said Raaz walking past him. "The gathering will be in three hours so they'll be fine by the time they wake up." Said Raaz from the hall. He walked outside going to the gates until he heard Kameko getting closer. "Daddy. Daddy." Said Kameko speed running towards him. "Kameko! Get back here!" Said Monkey going after her. Kameko wrapped her arms around Raaz' left leg then let out a scream when Monkey tried to pick her up. "Kameko go with Monkey." Said Raaz. "No. Daddy." Said Kameko then tried to smack Monkeys hand away from her. "Kameko. Its time to nap with your brothers." Said Raaz. "No nap!" Said Kameko looking at him pouting. "Yes. Hey!" Said Monkey retrieving his right after he got smacked. "Thats it. Go on Monkey i got her." Said Raaz picking her up by the back of her neck. Kameko started screaming and yelling kicking and punching the air. She then was plalced to Raaz chest walking to the kids room placing her down on the mat and began to cry. "No. Dont give me that. I know your faking. Sleep with your brothers or no more sleeping with Daddy." Said Raaz looking at her sternly. Kameko sniffed and whimpered until Ryu pulled her to lay down with Isamu hugging her around torso. "Sleep." Said Isamu as Kameko watched Raaz close the door making her actually cry.
Raaz kept on walking leaving the Jade Palace going to the valley. He made his way to Ping shop seeing Peng setting up his stand. "Peng, what brings you back? Did you find your Uncle?" Said Raaz. "Actually thats why im back. I was asking around hearing more about Tai Lung all saying that he was evil." Said Peng. "Why are you curious about him?" Said Raaz. "Hes my Uncle." Said Peng. "What? I dont understand. I was . . . i mean Tai Lung told me that he was found at the Jade Palace when was a cub." Said Raaz almost exposing himself. "My mom told me that my grandparents had no choice and couldnt afford to raise two. She found out about him when she got older then told me which is why i wanted to travel around China to find him." Said Peng. "If you want to found the real truth. Talk to us alright when your ready. Before i go. Are coming to the kids first birthday? Theyll be happy to see you." Said Raaz. "I'll think about it." Said Peng. "Alright. The celebration is atPings noodle shop in three hours." Said Raaz walking away passing two crocodile bandits. He walked to the shop seeing Lien talking with one of the mothers approaching them. "Hello. Sorry to interrupt but Lien. We need to talk." Said Raaz smiling at the mother goat. "Yeah. What?" Said Lien taking the basket of fruit he brought to the table. "In private. I think know why everyone is being secretive." Said Raaz in her right ear. Lien looking at him then at the customers and guest before nodding the back. She walked through the back door to the alley checking for the coast is clear before creating a barrier so no can see Raaz shift once he closed the door and blocked with his body. "What is going on?" Said Lien looking at him. "Peng is back to find out the truth about me." Said Tai Lung. "He's my nephew." He says. "That explains alot but what did you tell him. We know what everyone will do once they know who Raaz really is." Said Lien. "I told if he wanted to know the real truth he'll talk to us when hes ready. Then i changed the subject by asking if he wanted to join the kids birthday celebration. I even almost exposed myself from the news." Said Tai Lung. "I get it. Id be the same way if i out i had a family member alive out there." Said Lien. "Should we wait until hes ready?" She says looking at him. "Hes mature enough to make his decision but he does inherit my temper like Kameko and Ryu." Said Tai Lung crossing his arms. "I know but we cant hide this from him forever. Even our kids love having him around which now we know why." Said Lien. "We'll just wait on it. This is a bit much for me." Said Tai Lung feeling Lien kiss his cheek. "Lien?" Said Ping from behind the door. "Coming. I was just talking with Raaz." Said Lien lowering the barriers and opened the door. "We were talking about living arrangements for the kids." Said Tai Lung after he shifted walking inside.
