What Tigress Does When She Has The Jade Palace All To Herself
"Now are you sure you you'll be fine?" Shifu asked Tigress.
"Master Shifu, I will be fine." Tigress insisted.
"I know, but I never left you all alone to tend to the Jade Palace all by yourself."
"Come on Shifu, she'll be fine. Now let's go." Po insisted, practically dragging poor Master Shifu out the door.
She sighed and went to training. After going through the assault course three times, she did some meditation. After that she was completely and utterly bored. She just sat, legs crossed in the training hall and started to whistle, which she barely ever did.
It was then she decided to do things she would barely do. For example, she painted her self portrait, which surprisingly turned out quite well.
She went through all her friend's clothes. She found it very curious that she found, in Shifu's room, many love poems to a woman called Esmeralda. She found it even more curious that Monkey owned a pair of pink boxers with purple hearts. She also read through Viper's journal, gasping "No!" when she found out she had a crush on Crane. Her last great activity was to create a voodoo doll of Shifu. When she did, she stabbed his heart screaming, "Die, die, die!" After she was done with it, she threw it behind her and went to the training hall again.
She sat in her room, remembered her childhood. Some nights, she would just sit in the training hall, whining on and on, on how Master Shifu never gave her any love. When she was only a child, Master Shifu was so grumpy and strict around her. She blamed Tai Lung for making him this way. When she was sixteen, it got worse. He started to forget about her. She waited in the training arena but he would never show. Sometimes, he wouldn't be there to greet her in the morning. She also clearly remembers that one day, she didn't bother to train but he didn't even notice! It was around that time in her life that she started to drink. She knew Shifu's stash of vodka in the kitchen cupboard. Even after ten years she still remembers where he hides it. She smiled.
'It's time to get drunk again." She thought.
Meanwhile...
"I cannot believe that the message from the Imperial City was a prank!" Viper whispered on her way back to the Jade Palace, obviously angry.
"Don't worry Viper," Master Shifu assured her, "We are almost at the Jade Palace. Tigress will have such a surprise when we come home early."
They weren't to know that it would be them who would be surprised.
20 minutes later...
"Tigress, we're home," the small red Panda called out, "Tigress?"
There was no answer. Suddenly, Shifu heard someone singing in the dorm rooms. He and his student immediately went to check it out. To their surprise, they found Tigress in her pyjamas- purple trousers and black shirt. She was playing a pastel blue guitar – which no-one had ever seen before- and was singing in the hallway with her eyes closed. She was singing 'Hey Big Spender'. She was actually pretty good. She then fell forward, kneeling down and let the last chord ring. When she opened her eyes and saw her friends and master looking at her, she wasn't surprised. She seemed to actually be happy. Her arms were held open wide, her guitar lifted in her left hand and she said,
"Wassup Shifu?" She then smiled at him like a mad-woman.
"Tigress, what are you doing?" He asked angrily. He then spotted the voodoo doll of him self, "Is that a voodoo doll of me?" He asked, with a voice a little too high.
"Weeeelll, I have a few questions for yooouu tooooo." She said dramatically, obviously drunk.
"Are you drunk?"
"Who's Esmeralda? Hmmm..." Shifu's face immediately dropped. She then took out a piece of purple paper out of her pocket and when Shifu saw it, he immediately tried to grab it but she held his small head in her left paw. She read out the letter,
"Dear Shifu,
I miss you so. I dream about the day we can be together, away from my parents, but we both know that can only be a dream. That is why I have to leave you. I want you to know that I will always love you.
Esmeralda xxx"
When Tigress finished, she started sobbing, saying, "That is so sad!" She finally let him have the letter. Out of no where, she screamed out playfully,
"Monkey has pink pants!"
"What?" They all said in unison.
"Yeah, look!" She said, taking monkey's pants out of her on room and showing them of to everyone. Monkey immediately snatched them out of Tigress' clutches, his cheeks blushing violently.
"They were a present from my aunt. I had no choice but to keep them." He insisted.
"And now tha piece de resistance." She announce in a French accent, presenting a pink journal.
"My diary!" Viper shrieked. Before she could take it from Tigress, Tigress opened the diary, reading out the words,
"Today, Crane looked so handsome. I wish I could tell him how I love him."
Viper was so angry and embarrassed that she lashed out at Tigress, scratching her arm by accident.
"Oh, my God. I'm so sorry Ti..." Viper was stunned at the white blood, trickling smoothly down Tigress' arm. Viper looked at the tigress, who could only say,
"I guess I've been busted then?"
A/N: Should I do more chapters, or should I just leave it like that with the white blood unexplained? Should I change the ending to tragic or just keep it humour? Tell me your opinion. Also, do any of you know any slang. I'm in desperate need for my next short story. GIVE ME REVIEWS....please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
