It was morning the next day. 

Sunnee dragged herself to sit up on her bed after her clock alarmed for the nth time. Then, she looked at her alarm clock. "I forgot, I don't have to go to school today..." she thought. She let out a sigh as she went out of her room.

She went straight downstairs to join everyone for breakfast. As she went to the dining room, all eyes were on her. They all looked like they were surprised to see her, like she was an unexpected guest. "Good morning." she said in a sleepy tone. "Panda... your..." Brent said in disbelief as he pointed at her. Dylan glanced at her, then turned away as his cheek became bright pink. 

"Panda! What are you wearing?!" Lin Yi said. He took his jacket and stood up from his seat. Then, he draped his jacket around her. "What's wrong?" she asked in confusion. Then, she noticed that Lin Yi had been staring at her chest. With that, Addie stood up, and hit his head. "ert!" Addie shouted at him. Lin Yi could only flinch in pain. 

"What the-" As Sunnee looked at herself, she realized she was wearing a pink y lingerie. "Shoot!" she exclaimed before running back up to her room. "What just happened to her?" Wes asked. "Why did she wear that night gown? Didn't she hate it?" Brent asked. Meanwhile, Dylan couldn't help but blush even after Sunnee left. 

"Polar bear, what's wrong?" Addie asked, noticing his red cheeks. "N-nothing." Dylan answered. Addie smiled secretly as she ate her breakfast.

Sunnee rushed to her room, and leaned on her door the moment she closed it. "Oh my God, what am I thinking?!" she scolded herself. She ran to the mirror and looked at herself. "And I wore this nightgown? What the hell? Why did I even do it?" she thought. Then, she let out a sigh. "What would that polar bear think of me?" she asked herself. 

She dragged herself to her bed. She plopped down, took her panda stuffed toy and buried her face in it. Then, she let out a muffled scream, annoyed at what she have done. 

Meanwhile, Brent and Wes were outside her room, listening to her ranting. "What do  think is happening to her?" Brent asked. Wes shrugged his shoulders. "But I know she's been acting weird since polar bear is around." Wes said. "Maybe she could no longer hide how she feels for him?" Brent asked. Wes nodded in agreement. 

Dylan went upstairs, and saw Wes and Brent standing outside Sunnee's room. He walked towards them to ask about Sunnee. "How is she?" he asked. The two looked at him, with Wes jumping in surprise because of him. He immediately ducked down, and hid behind Brent. 

"Well, she's been acting weird. She's talking to herself, and shrieking to her panda stuff toy again." Brent said. Dylan couldn't help but smile. "Oh, aren't you guys going to be late?" Dylan asked. "Yes, we're going to be late!" Wes said. He immediately jumped away from them and left Brent alone with him. "What's wrong with me?" Dylan asked in confusion. "Because yesterday you..." Brent paused, and shook his head. "You better ask Addie about it. Anyway, aren't you going to be late too?" Brent asked him. 

Dylan shook his head. "I asked Eunice to file a leave on my behalf. There's something that I have to do today." he said. Brent just nodded his head. "OK. Then, take care of yourself." Brent said. Dylan just nodded his head, and said goodbye to Brent. 

As soon as Brent left, Dylan knocked on Sunnee's room. "What?!" Sunnee said in an annoyed tone as she opened the door. She became embarrassed the moment she saw Dylan. She was still in her night gown, and Dylan's eyes fell on her chest, staring at them. Sunnee's face became red as she covered her chest with her arms. "W-what is it?" she asked. 

"I'm going out for a while. Do you want me to buy you something to eat?" he asked. Sunnee gave him a curious look. "Where are you going?" she asked. "Just meeting an old friend." he said. With that, she became suspicious. She knows the only friends he had is Eunice, Ian and Addie. "Who?" she asked. "Someone you don't know."

"Can I go with you so that I can meet your friend?"

"I'm sorry, this day is for me and my friend."

"Please?"

"I can't."

"Why?"

"Because this is a special day for me and my friend. I hope you understand."

Sunnee let out a sigh. "All right. If you don't want me to go, then I respect your decision. Take care when you go out." she said. Dylan nodded his head. He gave her a kiss on the forehead before leaving. Sunnee went back inside her room after Dylan left, and then jumped to her bed. "Where is he going, and who is he seeing?" she said. That bothered her a lot. Is there a love rival she doesn't know about?

Then, she looked at her panda stuff toy. "What do you think, Qing Qing? Should we follow Xiao Zi?" she asked. The panda stuff toy just stared at her. Then, she sat. "You're right, Qing Qing." she said as she gritted her teeth. "I will follow that ice monster."

Chun placed a bouquet of yellow roses onto the tombstone. "Meng Yao..." he whispered. "I have never known you, and yet, I still miss you. I wish I had known about you and Meng Jie earlier..." He closed his eyes to offer a silent prayer, but he was interrupted by a familiar voice. 

"What are you doing here?" 

He opened his eyes and looked back. He saw Ella walking towards the grave. "Ella..." he called her name. "You have no right to be here." she said. She put away the flowers he put on her daughter's grave, and placed the flowers she brought. 

"I just want to visit our daughter." Chun said. Ella gave him angry look. "My daughter, Chun. Not yours." she told him firmly. "Ella-"

"You left me, remember? You left me for some stupid mission."

"Ella, you don't understand why I did what I did. I did that to be able to protect you."

"But look what happened, Chun."

She looked back at her daughter's grave. "Meng Yao died. And Meng Jie's critical at the hospital. You save the world, and yet you can't save your own daughters." she said bitterly. "You left without letting me know you're pregnant with our twin daughters."

"I left because I'm tired of waiting for you! I'm tired because I am no longer your priority!" 

Ella looked at him tearfully. "And I didn't want my daughters to feel the same way. I don't want them to keep on waiting for their dad, knowing he might never come back. I don't want them to be hurt because you won't always be there for them. It's for the best. You love your job more than you love me. That's why I chose to leave." she told him. Tears fell from her eyes as she speaks. Chun could only lower his head as he listened to her. 

"Please leave, Chun. And please, stay away from me and Rainbow. We don't need you now. We won't ever need you." she said. "I'm sorry, Ella. I know I had been a bad boyfriend, and I know I had been a bad father. All I want is a chance to get to know my daughter." he said. "Please go, Chun. Just please..." Ella pleaded him. 

Chun could only respect her decision. He turned around, and walked away from Ella. And as she leave, Ella broke down.

Sunnee hid from a post as she watched Dylan go inside a flower store. "Is he going to buy flowers for his friend?" she thought. Now, she's starting to doubt him. He never told her who this friend is, and buying a flowers for a friend indicates the friend is a girl. She folded her arms as she pouted. "Why would he buy a flower for his friend if the friend is not that special?" she said. 

A few minutes later, Dylan got out of the shop and went on his way. Sunnee followed him, until he stopped at a bake shop. There, she watched as Dylan buy a cake from the shop. "You can bake. Why do you have to buy one? Also, how special this date is, that you two have to celebrate?" she thoughts. Now, she's getting jealous. 

After buying a cake, he's on his way. Sunnee soon followed him. It was a short drive to the nearest mountain side, which made her even more confused. She saw Dylan stop his car. He got out, and walked to the trail. "Where is this stupid ice monster going?" she asked as she hopped off of her car. She followed him, but a few steps later, she realized that Dylan had gone to that burned down warehouse, where they were kept when they were kidnapped. 

And she realized that the friend he was talking about is Qing Qing - it was her. She was about to approa Dylan, but then her phone rang. She took it, and saw her father's name flashing on the screen. "Dad? Why me? Can't Primrose do that? Fine, I'll go back to train the newbies..." she said. She let out a sigh as she ended the call. Before leaving, she looked at Dylan one last time. "I will tell him the truth today..." she decided. Then, she left the place. 

Meanwhile, Dylan had gone to visit Qing Qing's tomb at the burned down warehouse. This is where she was last found alive. The next time Dylan saw her, she is already dead. "Qing Qing, I'm here." he said as he placed the cake and flowers on the makeshift tomb. "Remember when we first met? It was at the playground..." he remembered with a smile. "You helped me when someone was bullying me. I even can't believe a girl like you can beat the bullies by herself. And then, we swore to become best friends that day.  I even gave you my panda toy, remember? We played the whole day, and agreed to meet the next day. But then, when we met up the next day, they got us..." 

The smile on his face slowly faded as he remembered the day they were kidnapped. "You were excited when you saw some clowns because you thought there was going to be a party. We didn't know those clowns would take us away and hurt us..." he said. His face became serious this time. "They kept on hurting us when we cry. We wanted to desperately get out of that hell. I don't know how you did it,but you managed to untie us both. We both looked for a a place to escape, but when we found it... they saw us.  You let me escape while you... you got caught and..."

Tears fell from his eyes as he remembered that day. He remember the gunshot, and how she shrieked that day. If he had not thought of saving himself first, if only he decided to come back for Qing Qing, if only he stayed with her, she would have still be alive. And he still blamed himself for her death, for not saving her. "I'm sorry, Qing Qing. I'm still guilty for leaving you behind. I'm sorry for being so selfish. I'm sorry that until now, I could never forget you..." he said as he cried.

It was late afternoon when Dylan came back to the mansion. The first thing he did was to find Sunnee. When he got inside, he saw Lin Yi by the living room. "Hey, Chung Lin, where's Sunnee?" he asked. Lin Yi looked at him. "Her dad made her do some errands. She'll be back later." Lin Yi said. Dylan nodded his head. "Is it OK if I go inside her room to leave this to her?" he asked. Dylan held out a paper bag for Lin Yi to see. "What's that?" he asked. "Chocolates." Dylan said. 

Lin Yi let out a sigh. "Well, Panda will kill me if she doesn't get her sweets. Just don't stay long in her room." Lin Yi told him. Dylan nodded his head. He went upstairs, and went to her room. Good thing her room was not locked, so he was able to get it. He left the chocolates on her table, with a note from him. As he was about to leave, he noticed something familiar in her bed. 

He saw the panda stuff toy he had as a kid. "Qing Qing?" he said. He took the toy, and looked at it. It has been 10 years, and he still remember how his favorite childhood toy looks like. "This is my toy. Qing Qing had it, unless..."

He heard the door open. He looked back, and saw Sunnee with a shocked expression on her face. "D-Dylan?" she called. Then, he looked at the toy, and back to her. "Why do you have this toy?" he asked her as he walked towards her. "A f-friend gave that to me 10 years ago." Sunnee said. "Who?" Dylan asked. Sunnee stared at him for a long time. "Xiao Zi." she said. 

Dylan could not believe what was happening. Only Qing Qing called him that name. Nobody knew that name, not even Addie.  All the while, he thought his best friend had died. He looked at the panda toy again. "Look, Dylan. I was planning to tell you but I don't know how to start...." she said. Dylan looked up at her again. "You're Qing Qing?" he asked. Sunnee nodded his head. "Dylan... please don't be mad at me... I..."

The next thing she knew, Dylan has hugging her tight. She could feel tears falling down from his eyes. "Dylan?" she called. "Qing Qing... I'm happy you're alive, Qing Qing..." he whispered as he hugged her tighter. Sunnee let out a smile as tears of joy fell from her eyes. With that, she hugged him tight. "This time, I'll protect you, Qing Qing. I promise you that..."
