Chapter 3 - "Do y'all not believe me?"

The next morning, Tigress is still meditating, and she is desperate for answers. The sun's light streamed into her room, and it made her fur brighter and flash a bit in the light. She continued to meditate as she cliched her hands into fists, for she has had mostly nothing all night. Then, she realized it was a feeling for more than the rank she has now, but what? She is happy to be what she is now, but she always feels this unknown rage that comes up most of the time now. She's been holding it back for a while from her friends, no one knows about it, except her. Then the building began to lightly shake, and then Tigress fell off her bed, snapping out of her meditation.

"Dang it!" she said, "What or who pushed me down?!"

She managed to stand up and while she did, she held her head and saw nothing but the room and Viper sleeping in the bed next to her. Then she felt the light shaking, she began looking around and a large picture fell off the wall. Her eyes widened a bit, but before she could say anything, the shaking stopped.

"What the heck was that?" she thought to herself, "Was it an earthquake?"

She thought pretty much it was an earthquake, but it didn't wake up any others. Probably because she was meditating all night instead of sleeping. She was still in her training clothes, but she knew that Shifu would want her to get into the clothes for hot weather. All she knew she had was short pants and a shirt with short sleeves, showing her lower stomach, of course, she thinks she left them home. She then laid back down in the bed, hoping to forget about the shaking she felt and go to sleep. Before she even dozed off, Shifu shouted, "Rise and shine!"

Tigress, startled, fell out of her bed, flat on her face again. She groaned as she stood up once again to face her master, who was ready for the day. Viper woke up, and when she did, she jumped out of the bed, excited and full of energy.

"Yay!" she squealed in excitement, "This is gonna be a great vacation!"

Then Viper left the room, Tigress was woozy, she didn't get ANY sleep last night.

"Tigress," said Shifu, "Are you all right?"

"Yes Master," she lied, "Just woke up, you know."

"I see," said Shifu, "Remember to stay with us today, and to have fun."

Then he looked to his left and he saw the picture on the floor, he looked at Tigress and asked, "Tigress, why is this picture on the floor?" Tigress looked to see it. She shrugged and asked, "Didn't you feel that shaking earlier?"

"I felt no shaking," Shifu said, raising an eyebrow, "Did you let your rage out and break it?"

"No Master," Tigress admitted, "I felt some shaking that knocked me out of my bed and it lasted for a good long 30 to 40 seconds!"

Shifu didn't believe her, since she was enraged for the ride before, and in the Valley, he figured she punched it off the wall in anger.

"I don't believe you," he said, "After that anger you had, I just can't trust you with this."

"But Master, I swear I didn't break it!" Tigress said, "I didn't knock the picture down! It fell off during the earthquake! I swear by the universe!"

"Lies," Shifu said in a serious tone, "You know you're gonna have to pay for it!"

"WHAT?!" Tigress shouted, "But I didn't! The earthquake!"

"Make all the excuses you want," Shifu said, not believing her, "But you're gonna have to pay for it. And I don't want to hear anymore out of you about this. I've made my decision. Am I clear?"

Tigress held all of her frustration in and she let out a long sigh before saying, "Yes...Master Shifu..." Shifu nodded and said, "Come on. We're having breakfast down in the lobby." Tigress groaned a bit before they began walking, when they got out of the room, Tigress noticed that everyone has packed their swimsuits and everything.

"Oh, and I forgot to tell you," Shifu said looking at her, "We're heading to the town and beach after we eat."

Tigress felt a twang of anger come to her. Her face turned red a bit before nodding while she squinted her eyes. Shifu sighed at Tigress' anger, but he decided not to push her further.

"Hey Tigress!" Po said excitedly, making Tigress squint her eyes even tighter.

He walked to her and asked with a smile, "Are you ready to have a great vacation?!" Tigress held her anger in, knowing Shifu was in the room, she then said, "I...I...can't wait..."

"Awesome!" Po exclaimed with a wider smile, "I just know this is gonna be the best vacation ever!"

Then Po ran out of the hotel room, really giddy and Mantis and Monkey followed him, cheering.

"Those three are so childlike..." Viper said with a giggle.

"Can't disagree with you there," Crane agreed with a smile.

Crane looked to Tigress and he noticed she didn't have her swimming clothes with her.

"Tigress, where're your swimming clothes?" he asked.

"I didn't bring'em," Tigress told him.

"Why didn't you?" Shifu asked.

Then Viper went into their room and then came out with Tigress' swim shirt and pants. Tigress' eyes widened in anger. Viper gave them to her with a smile and said in a sweet tone, "I packed them for you so you could have a great time like us."

Tigress had to hold her anger in again as Viper put the shirt and short pants in Tigress' bag to take into town.

"Thank...you...Viper..." Tigress said, holding all of her anger in, though it was REALLY hard to do as you can imagine.

"Let's go get some breakfast," Shifu said, making Crane and Viper excited.

As the avian and the snake dashed out of the room, Tigress and Shifu began walking. The tiger had to hold her anger in, she just had to control it, for that's what her foster father taught her to control her anger. She looked like she needed to hit something, and then Shifu said calmly, "Go let it out." With that, Tigress dashed back into her room, closed the door while Shifu held his ears.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Tigress screamed at the top of her lungs, Shifu even cringed a bit even though he had his ears covered, it even reached the beach. That's how loud it was.

A little while later, Tigress has cooled off a bit after letting her anger out by screaming and turning her bed over. They reached the area where they're gonna have breakfast and the table was covered in eggs, bacon, pancakes, coffee, and it had some jugs of syrup for the pancakes. Monkey and Mantis were chuckling as they chowed down on pancakes, for their mouths and parts of their faces were covered in syrup.

"If you keep eating like that, you'll choke on yourselves," Viper told the insect and the primate.

"Sorry," Monkey said with a full mouth, some syrup even spurt out, "It's just that these pancakes are awesome!"

"Can't disagree with you there," Po said chowing on pancakes, but not as much as Monkey and Mantis, for he was trying to cut back on eating a little.

Tigress sat down at the end of the table, trying to cool herself off. Shifu sat beside her to make sure she controlled her anger. Po smiled at her, then he put some pancakes, eggs, and bacon on her plate, and then he put syrup on the pancakes.

"You know I can get my own meal," Tigress said in a mean tone.

"I just wanted to be a friend and help you," Po said with a smile, "Enjoy your breakfast."

Instead of a 'thank you' she just scoffed and began eating. Po looked at Shifu and then he said, "By the way, I heard you and Tigress in the room earlier, and she said something about an earthquake, I believe..."

"An earthquake?" Viper asked looking at Tigress.

"I told Shifu here that I didn't knock the picture down," Tigress said, "I was meditating and I fell out of the bed when the...like...whole building began lightly shaking for a good 30 to 40 seconds."

"Then why didn't we feel anything?" Mantis asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because you were all sleeping little princesses!" Tigress smartly commented.

"Tigress," Shifu said in a serious tone, "Stop being so mean to everyone! Make all the excuses you want. I felt no earthquake."

"Maybe you were a sleeping princess too," Tigress said in a mean tone, then Shifu slapped Tigress on the arm, but she didn't feel anything, but Shifu did pull back in pain while holding his hand.

"I don't know how you punched those ironwood trees for 20 years..." Shifu said while holding his hand.

Tigress just ignored him and continued to eat, she looked at Po and told him, "Believe me, Po. I felt it! It lasted for 30 to 40 seconds."

"I don't know if we can believe you because of your attitude," Monkey said.

"Monkey does have a point," said Viper, "Tigress, you're being plain mean to us, but mostly to Po. I think you're just wanting to go home."

"But I did feel the quake!" Tigress said desperately.

They all shot Tigress a glare, except Crane and Po, then Crane said, "I don't know if I can believe you either."

"But...!" Tigress said, but Shifu cut her off.

"Young lady, that is enough!" Shifu said in a serious tone, "I know you're not happy about being here, but try and have fun! Don't make excuses like the world's gonna be taken over by zombies when you want to leave!"

"There's no such thing as zombies!" Tigress said a little too loud, people are looking, but she lowered her voice and said, "I'm not lying! I swear!"

"You said that before," Shifu said.

"Do y'all not believe me?" Tigress asked with a serious tone and look. She looked at Po and asked, "Can you believe these people? They don't believe me!"

"Tigress..." Po said.

"Oh, come on, panda!" Tigress said in a mean tone, "You care for me! Do you not believe me?"

Po was a little startled when she said that. He looked at the others who had serious looks on their faces, all looking at Tigress. Shifu just shook his head at Tigress while Viper let out a sigh. Po shook his head and said, "Tigress...I don't believe you."

"What?" Tigress said in a mean tone, but she couldn't believe his response.

"You probably just want to leave because you're passionate about kung fu, and not vacation time," Po said in a serious tone while he got a serious look, "I can't believe you this time, Tigress. I'm sorry, but I just can't believe a fib like that."

Tigress shot Po a glare, now, she's not really hungry anymore. Po looked apologetic, and then he said, "I'm sorry, I can't believe you this time." Tigress wanted to leave, and she tried, but Shifu forced her back into her seat. As the others continued to eat, Tigress sat their in silence, angry that they didn't believe her, and because she's having 'the worst vacation ever.'
