The five girls left gym class and went to the girls bathroom and Mei was clearly mad

Miriam: calm down Mei

Priya: dude keep it together

Jia: you need to relax

Jia: tennis

Abby: violin!

Priya: tap dancing

Mei: Yeah. We've been so good. If they don't trust us anyway then what's the point?

Miriam: wow who are you? I love it! Wow! Who are you? I love it!

Abby: Fight the power!

Jia: maybe I should let loose a little bit to

Mei: Yeah. Yeah! This isn't just our first concert. This is our first step into womanhood. And we have to do it together.

Miriam: I'm in girl. We'll say it's a sleepover at my house.

Abby: the perfect crime!

Mei: yes! My mom will never know.

Jia: I already have $200 saved up from birthday money so that just leaves $800 dollars

Mei: perfect! Now we just got to raise the rest of the money for tickets. Come on girls think!

Everyone tried to think of ideas.

Abby: you know what'll help me think? A little panda.

Mei: Now?

Jia: someone could see

Abby: Come on! It'll clear my mind. Just a little hit! It's so cute!

Mei: fine

Abby hugged Mei and Mei thought of 4 to get her excited. She turned into the red panda

Panda Mei: happy?

Abby: Oh yeah. That's the stuff.

Stacy: OMG!

Panda Mei Abby Jia Miriam and Priya turned around to see three girls staring at Panda Mei. She hid in a bathroom stall and her friends and sister stood in front of it

Panda Mei: go away!

Stacy: That was you in the bathroom! I didn't imagine it!

Miriam: Yeah you did.

Priya: Get lost Stacy

Jia: leave my Mei alone

Stacy: But she's like a magical bear?

All: Red Panda!

Stacy: ...You are the cutest thing ever! Come out please?

Panda Mei turned back to normal and came out of the bathroom stall

Mei: Wait. So you like the panda?

Stacy: Like it? I love it! I'll give you anything! Money? My kidney! My soul!

Stacy showed the girls her money

Jia: we have ourselves a deal

Later that day Jia Mei Miriam abby and Priya went to an empty class room to discuss there plan

Mei: All right troops listen up. Operation 4 Town Shake Down is about to commence. The boys are coming to the SkyDome May 18th. Our goal five tickets. That's 1,000 dollars! Luckily Jia already has 200 dollars saved up so all we need to do is raise 800 dollars. Step one neutralize the empress.

Mei called her mom and asked her if she could join

Ming (on the phone): Mathletes? Isn't it a little dangerous to join an after school club now?

Mei: What's dangerous is an academic record with a lack of extracurriculars.

Jia: plus it's an extra activity for us to do together

Ming agreed and mei hung up

Mei: Step two spread the word. And step three hustle this panda and squeeze every last dollar out of those kids.

A montage of the girls raising money from Mei's panda. Jia was in charge of counting the money, panda Mei took pictures with the students Miriam Priya and Abby took the pictures and they also made merchandise

Mei: No pain no gain. Come on chop chop!

Mei started counting more money

Mei: five... ten... fifteen...

Miriam: girl relax like what your sister said

Abby: Yeah. We're doing our best.

Mei grew panda ears, tail, and paws

Mei: it's not enough! The concert's this Saturday and we're still a hundred short! I knew we should have charged more for photos! Stupid stupid stupid!

Miriam: Mei breathe. It's in the bag What's the point of getting to the concert if you're too exhausted to enjoy it? Now take a break

Jia: you've definitely earned it

Tyler walked under bleachers

Tyler: You guys are so weird.

The girls heard Tyler and saw him under the bleachers

Mei: Are you spying on us?

Jia: if that's true then your the weirdo

Tyler: I wanna talk to you

Mei: forget it

Tyler: Fine. Wonder if your mom knows her precious little Mei Mei has been flaunting the panda all over school.

Everyone was surprised at what he said so mei turned into the Panda and confronted him

Panda Mei: That's none of your business!

Jia: Mei don't hurt him!

Tyler: listen to your sister! Take one more step and I'm telling your mom everything! Now put that thing away and hear me out.
