Mei is getting off the town bus now and is late to clean with her mom.

Mei: crud, crud, crud, crud, crud.
Mei: Okay,Excuse me!

Okay I know what it looks like.
I am my own person.
But that doesn't mean doing whatever I want.
Lady: Hey Mei? How's it going?
Mei: Hey how's it going?
Mei, waves to her but running fast to go home.
Young man: Thank you, Meilin!
Like most adults, I have responsibilities.
Mei runs across the rode to her home.
Hey, Bart. Hey, Lisa. She says hi to the red panda statues.
Old woman enjoying a meal: Hello Mei.
Mei: Sup.
Still down for a rematch, Mr. Gao?
Mr. Gao: Bring it Lee!
All chuckles.
Old couple: What a good girl.
It's not all about me, you know?
Mei pulls out a name tag that says her name and where she works. Meilin Lee, Asst Temple Keeper.
I do make my own moves, it's just that...

... Some of my moves are also hers.
Mei Mei, There you are.
Mei: Hey mom....
You're ten minutes late. What happened are you hurt? Are you hungry?
Mei: Um.
Mei's mom stuff her mouth with some food.
How was school today? Mei's mom says smiling.
Mei finally swallows the food.
Mei: Killed it per usual. Check it out.

Mei shows her mom that she aced all of her homework.
Oh that's my little scholar.
Today, honor student, tomorrow, UN, Secretary, General.
The ancestors would be so proud.

Sun Yee, revered ancestors, guardian of the red pandas, we humbly thank you for protecting and guiding us.
Especially Mei-Mei.

Mei: May we Continue to serve and honor you and this community.
BOTH: Always.

They both walk out of the room, and breath some fresh air.
Mei's mom: You ready?
Mei: Let's do this.

Boys laughing.
Some random boy: Have fun.
Getting that off.

Mei's mom, Ming: Shoo-Shoo! You Vandals!
Boys: Oh snap! They're coming!
Mei: You good for nothing hosers!
Boys: Go! Go! go!
Ming: I'm telling your mothers!

Ming:
Our Family run one of the oldest temples.
In Toronto. And the most unique.Instead of honoring a god, we honor our ancestors.

Mei: And not just the dudes either.
Ming: Out most revered ancestor, Sun Yee, was a scholar, poet, and defender of animals. She dedicated her life to the creatures of the forest.
Especially the red panda.

Mei jumps in the room with a red panda suit.
Mei: Ta- Da!
Ming: Which she loved for its fiery coat and mischievous nature.
Ming: Ever since, the red panda has blessed our family.

Mei throws some glitter in the air to show the people that the red panda blessed their family.
Ming: Good fortune, and prosperity.

Mei: And it can bless yours too!
Woman:Bye-Bye.
Mei: See you next time!
Ming: Thanks for coming.

Ming and Mei both closed the door to their temple.
And slump against the doors and are very tired.

Ming: Give me five.
Mei: Yeah.
Both high five.
Ming: Come on, dads making dinner.
Mei: Ohh.

Dad: Mmm.
Bell rings.
Dad: Huh? Uh?
The dad cleans his foggy glasses.
We see Ming and Mei watching Tv in the living room.
And making some food.
Ming: He should of listened to his mother.
And married Ling-Yi.
Mei: Totally.
Mei: Siu-jyu is so two-faced.
Ming: She's just using him to get to the throne.
She'll probably stab him on their wedding night.
Mei: Hmm- mmm
Mei's dad: Hmm. Hmm! Perfect!
Mei: Yes!
