Author Note : Hello once more. After so many stuff has happened in the previous chapter, I wrote a relaxing filler chapter with some fluffs in it.

I hope y'all enjoy this.

Chapter 58 : Summer Break

I managed to land a direct palm strike on her midsection, causing her to lose her balance as she fell on her back with a thud. A slightly pained groan was released from her mouth before she got up from the wooden floor.

"It seems like your having some difficulty with Wing Chun." I smirked.

"Difficulty my foot." Tigress scoffed. "You were lucky that I was holding back."

"Holding back? I can clearly still remember that look on your face when we were doing Chi Sau a few minutes ago. It's obvious that Wing Chun might not be right for you." I teased. A miniature growl slipped from the tiger.

"I will make you eat those words." She grinned.

The two of us stationed ourselves towards each other with our forearms placed on one another. She went for the first move as she tried to push my forearms away with hers. I made various motions and countered her motions. I was able to shove her forearms away, creating an opening as I gave her collarbone area a palm strike which knocked her a couple of feet back.

Tigress recovered and walked back towards me as we both locked our forearms once more. Both of us resumed with our Chi Sau exercise and start engaging each other.

After swatting each other's forearms and hands/paws, I was able caught and locked her forearms, restrictedher arm movements. I threw a low kick, aiming for her shin, but she kicked my low kick away with her feet and made a strong push with her restricted arms, breaking the 'armlock' I had on her as I flew back a meter or two. I collected myself up from the floor while massaging my back.

"How was that?" She spoke.

"That was really good, you actually did a move that I remembered Master Yip did when he was teaching me Wing Chun during the travel in our previous mission." I looked around the Training Hall and noticed how quiet it is. "Umm, what day is it today?"

"Today's Wednesday." Tigress responded.

"It's pretty quiet here." The orange warrior nodded. "And if I'm being frank, it's also getting boring."

"Boring? I don't think it's getting boring." She soon crossed her both arms. "Or is it that I'm the one you are getting bored of?"

What? Now she's thinking that I'm getting bored of her... ?

"No, I don't think your boring at all." I waved my hands assuringly. "It's just that there's nothing else to do here beside training ourself out while Shifu has given us a WHOLE week off after we defeated the Mongolian insurgent. It's only been two days and the two of us has been doing nothing but training, don't you think we should use these free time we have and do something that is more fun and interesting?" Tigress started pondering in her mind if we should go out and have some fun or not.

"Fine." She agreed. "I'll be back in a moment, just need to grab something." A moment later, the tiger returned with a small side bag which I decide to not question her why she need it. "After today, we are still gonna to do even more training tomorrow to make up for the amount of time we will spend today." I responded with a nod.

"Okay, let's go then."

The trip from the thousand steps stairs to village below was lengthy, but it was enjoyable as the summer breeze blew passed us. Tigress and I made some quiet strolls around the village, inspecting the structures and the cheerful citizens going on with their business.

"Darn, surely there must be something fun to do around here." I uttered before turning to my tiger companion. "You got any suggestions on what fun we can do?"

"I wish, but I'm not much of a 'fun person'." She stroked her chin for a moment as her ears perked. "How about the forest, I remembered a shortcut that I used to get there."

"A forest? What do you propose the two of us should do in the forest?" I got curious.

"There is a giant tree in the forest and I would always climb myself to the top of it for sightseeing when I was a teenager. It has a quite a number of years since I haven't climbed that tree, and I feel like climbing it again." I could see the eagerness in her eyes as she said that.

"That actually sounds pretty fun for 'non-fun person' like you." I raised my brow as she chortled in response.

While it's still morning, we both leisurely walked our way to a nearby forest. Entering the forest, I felt the thick leaves of the trees has covered us from the sun's ray, providing us a cool relief from the hot sunlight.

After some time, both of us has stumbled upon a incredibly large tree. The tree's trunk was enormously wide, probably reaching about almost two meters wide. I looked up and saw the branches and the peak. The top of it was quite a exquisite sight to see.

"Before we could start, do you know how to climb a tree?" Tigress asked.

"Of course I can. I started learning about the art of parkour at the age of fourteen, there's no need for you to worry about me." I assured her.

"Good, then I shall race you to the finish!" She playfully exclaimed. Tigress made a single leap as her body went upward and is reaching pretty close to the branch.

Her paws were able to get a good hold on the branch as Tigress performed numerous flips, gaining on new heights with each new branch her paws reaches to. I walked back before I broke into a rapid sprint before jumping as my hands were able to get a hold on the branch as I narrowly slipped.

Stabilizing my form, I was able to pull myself up and placed each of my two feet on a strong branch. I looked up and saw Tigress was making rapid progress as I am no longer able to see her form anymore. I took a deep breath and started carefully climbing upward.

Around ten minutes has passed, I am close to reaching the top and I can feel the wind strength has gotten stronger at the height I'm currently at. A couple more climbs, I saw Tigress was a couple of meters up, sitting on a stable branch and appeared to be busy gazing the view up there. Briefly, I made it to the top as I sat beside her on the branch.

"Woah..." I was in awe at the view on top of this giant tree. Not too far ahead, I can see the Valley's village and the farmlands from below along with the tall mountains as well. The morning sun also added some very nice additional lighting effect on the view. "It's beautiful up here, I can literally sit here all day watching this amazing scenery."

"I'm glad you are enjoying the view." She smiled. "I should probably start visiting this place more often, I'll might even forget about some other important places I used to go to when I was younger."

We both eventually climbed down to the ground after we're done with our sightseeing. While Tigress was leading the way, I got curious about those 'other important places' she mentioned when we both were on top of that massive tree.

"I'm curious, can you tell me more about those places you'll might forget?"

"There is field filled with a large amount of diverse flowers. I usually go there to pick up certain flowers and herbs to brew myself some tasty tea to drink."

"Heh, talking about tea makes me kinda thirsty." I said, sipping my mouth as its inside felt a bit dry.

"We will be having tea once we return to the Jade Palace, please try holding your thirst for a little longer. We just need to grab some flowers and herbs before heading back."

The path we're moving on is readily becoming more visibly grassier and the same goes for the amount of flowers that's also appearing as well. We both soon reached to a large wide field of colorful flowers. I soon got curious as I separated from Tigress and start looking at the flowers.

"Lukas, what are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm trying to see which flowers that might look delicious for brewing some tea." My eyes stopped at a very colorful looking flower. "Wow, these flowers here looks really delicious for a cup of tea."

"I'd say it is best if you refrain from picking those flowers."

"Huh? Why shouldn't I?"

"I have read that those particular flowers are poisonous." She replied. "You should not pick up flowers based on their colorfully appearance, they might be filled with poisonous compound that will surely kill you."

"Yikes." I slowly let go of the colorful flower. "If these flowers are poisonous, then which one are not?" I asked, looking around before grabbing another flower which looks unpleasantly 'ugly'. "What about these one?"

"That's a fine choice. Those flowers your holding are really great for brewing tea."

It has been some time has passed. I was able to help Tigress picked up some flowers as her side bag is now full of them. Once the amount of flowers and herbs we've picked up could last for about a week or so, the two of us left the colorful flower field.

As we continued our walk in the forest, I could see a lake up ahead. I said to her that I saw a lake and she told me it is one of her favorite spot in this forest that she would come to often in her teen years. We both increased our pace as we quickly arrived at the lake. I approached and crouched on the edge of the lake's bank as inspect the water. I felt the tiger's presence was near to me as she crouched beside me.

"Back then, I used to come her often to wash myself clean after spending a good amount of time in this forest."

"You sure the water is safe here?"

"Certainly, I never got ill from it." She assured. Tigress stood up from her crouching position as she removed the side bag and placed it on the grassy ground.

Abruptly, she began removing her red vest and black pants, exposing her strong and feminine figure covered with chest wrappings and a tan colored panties. My expression instantly reddened as I quickly looked away. The striped feline noticed my reaction before giving out a short laughter.

"Come on, are you really that frightened of my unclothed body?" She teased while striking a small pose as she twirled her body around.

"No, it's just that I don't really like looking at my best friend's body." Hearing what I said made her chuckled.

"It's clear you have seen my unclothed body a few times. Heh, you even saw me completely naked at least two times. It is strange that you still get flustered whenever you see my body despite seeing it several times." She soon put on a slightly serious face. "You should stop playing innocent and deal with it like a rational adult would."

"Alright, I'll look." I released a sigh as I looked at her in her undergarments.

"But not too long." A slightly flustered redness was present on her face.

"Anyway, are you gonna take a swim here?"

"Isn't it obvious?" She motioned her arms around her body. "It has been years since I have swam here. It would be nice if I were to bath myself here while I still have the chance."

Tigress looked at the water before dipping her leg in it before the other one. The water level went from her upper thighs to her midriff. Soon, she started doing some paddling before swimming. Moments later, the tiger slowed down her swimming pace and is seen letting the back of her body float on the water. I could see a very relaxed expression she has as her relaxed body gently drift around on the water. As I watched her for some time, a small smile slipped out of my face seeing that she's capable of relaxing herself and not overexert herself all the time.

A mischievous grin grew on my face as I decided to pull a prank on her. My mind dug up and started replaying Monkey's words and advices when it comes to pranking Tigress. I remembered Momkey told that he was able to prank Tigress during their teen years. The only thing he told is that to prank the tiger, I need to be really silent and stealthy, no sounds or any form of vibrations were allowed to be made if I'm going to prank her.

While the feline is still relaxing and drifting on the water with her eyes closed, I got up and removed my cloths except for my boxer-like underwear. I quietly dipped myself into the water before submerging my head and body deeper into the water as I silently began swimming underneath the water toward her.

Opening my eyes underwater for a brief moment, I can see that I'm about a few feet below Tigress. With multiple quick and strong thrusts from my four limbs, I propelled my body upward in high speed. Reaching very close to the tigers, I wrapped my arms around her body as I bursted out of the water.

"Surprise!"

"Gah!" She screamed in surprise.

"Ahahaha!" It took me a bit of a struggle to stop laughing. "Oh man, you should've seen the look on your face when I scared you good!"

"Lukas, you... you idiot!" She started struggling to pull my arms off until I unwrapped my arms off of her body. Tigress sprung out of me, 'stumbling' a bit in the water before turning back to me. "I can't believe you would do that!" A mix of anger and laughter was heard in her tone.

"Well, you seemed to enjoy that little prank of mine." She took a deep breath, calming herself down before speaking.

"Your stealth has really improved. It is not that easy for one to just simply sneak up behind me. You masked your scent by going underwater to get me, I must say I am impressed." She complimented.

"Thanks, I'll keep working hard on that."

"Sure, but it won't be easier next time."

We resumed with some swimming sessions, splashing cold water against each other and a couple of cannonball divings. The two of us soon got out of the water, dried ourselves and wore our clothing back. After a short break to catch to our breath from playing in the water, we noticed it's currently noon as we got up and started making our way back to the Valley's village.

"That was fun, we should probably head back here again tomorrow." She spoke.

"But what about the training tomorrow? You said we're gonna train even harder in the next day to make up for the time we spent today."

"Forget what I said." She shook her head. "This was the most fun I have ever had ever since I stopped coming here. I could not have imagined it would have been this much fun with you in it." A small red tint grew on her cheeks. Hearing those words also provoked a little blush to appear on my face.

"Your welcome, I'm glad I have made this more fun for you. I too had a lot of fun as well." I gave her a small smile.

On our trip back to village was disrupted as we heard a some loud sounds which's not that far from where we are at. Both of us broke into a sprint as we followed the sound. The sound soon turned out to be voices.

"Let me go!" A soft feminine voice yelled.

"As if!" A masculine voice said while cackling. "Stay still, just let us have some fun with that cute fragile body of yours."

Hearing what the masculine voice said has made my mind flashed back from the time where I failed to prevent the defloration of Jienbei. A growl was emanated from me as I sprint passed Tigress.

Eventually, I was able to get a look on the situation. It appeared that a snow leopardess was being held tightly by a lustful water buffalo whose armed with a battle axe. There were also a couple more buffaloes who were armed as well.

I leaped and kicked the bull with a flying front kick on the side of his torso, flinging him back greatly as he tumbled on the grassy ground. He got up in crouched position and appeared to be confused as he shook his head. I gave him no time to regain his senses as I sent an elbow strike to his face, knocking him out quickly.

Before the rest of the other buffaloes took notice of my sudden arrival and swarmed me at once, Tigress appeared behind them and took them all by surprise as she performed a rapid spinning jump kick with a long reach, smacking all the of them on the face in one swift motion as they all fell unconsciously to the ground.

As we both quickly attended to the snow leopardess, my eyes widened in surprised as this particular snow leopardess is none other than Song. Her attire were a bit ruined and some parts of it were ripped and torn off. Her signature umbrella weapon has quite a few holes on it.

"Song?" Tigress spoke in surprise . "What are you doing here? What happened?"

"Our camp... our camp got ambushed by large amount of local bandits. We were overrun and had to submit to them." A growl was heard escaping from her mouth. "Some of my sisters had sacrificed their lives for me escape, but I was chased and I would have been recaptured if it weren't for you two arriving."

"We can help you retake your camp back, can you show us the way?" Tigress said.

"I could, but before I do that, where's Po and the others?" Song asked.

"Nah, I think both of us are already enough to help you get your home back." I motioned my hands around me and the tiger.

"Alright, come on, we better hurry." We nodded as Song began leading us to her camp.

Noon is still with us after Song had led us to the top of a hill to see a very small campsite below us. I could see the guards patrolling the captured campsite and all of them appeared to be water buffaloes.

"So, what's the plan?" I inquired.

"Hmm, let me see what I can come up with." Tigress stroked her chin as she began analyzing the campsite. Before Tigress could tell explain the plan she thought of, Song seemed to beat her to that already.

"Wait here, I'll go get some stuff for my plan." We nodded as Song left as we both began waiting for her.

After about half an hour, I heard the crunching sounds of the grass as I turned back and saw Song has returned with some stuff on her paws. Those stuff appeared to be clothing. I lifted my brow up.

"Song, what did you do this time?" Tigress crossed her arms.

"I have decided to lend these cloth from the nice locals not far ahead from here. Anyway, I was thinking about you two disguising yourselves as 'bounty hunters' who had captured me. Once we're in, you two will let go of my restraints I'll make a run for it to my caged sisters, but make it look real as I don't want us to have our cover getting blown too early."

"Though you may have 'borrowed' these clothing from the locals without telling them, it is a good plan, let's go with it." Tigress agreed. "But I do hope you will return these back to them in one piece, got it?" Song nodded.

Me and Tigress took off our attire while maintaining a 'professional attitude' and slipped ourselves into the new clothes that Song had 'borrowed' from local folks. The tiger walked to the snow leopardess by her back, placing her paws together before tying them with ropes.

After me and a Tigress finished adjusting our headwear, we began moving down the hill as we eventually approached the entrance, two water buffaloes walked towards us with their spears pointed at us.

"Who are you people?" One of them questioned loudly.

"We are bounty hunter." Tigress spoke. "We have heard that a certain snow leopardess has escaped from you guys and is on the loose around this place. We thought that you people would kindly repay us once we captured this cat for you."

"Alright, what do you guys want?"

"We wish to hand her over to the guy who's leading you all." I said.

"You wish to see our clan leader?" Me and Tigress nodded. He looked at us both and Song before nodding. "Very well, you may pass." The two buffalo guards placed their spear away and let us through.

"Thanks." I motioned my hands before giving a slight shove to Song's back as she stumbled a bit forward to make it look more realistic.

Making our way to the center of the campsite, my eyes widened in surprise while Tigress let out a short sigh when we saw a particular water buffalo. The snow leopardess let out a quiet 'Huh?' as she looked behind us.

"I take it that you two know this person?" Song piped up quietly.

"Yeah, there's no doubt that it's Temutai and his group." I whispered. A low sigh was heard from the tiger.

"They should really improve the overal defenses and system at Chorh Gom Prison." Tigress grumbled, earning a chuckle from me and Song.

We kept quiet and continued moving as we approached the towering water buffalo. He was seen barking our orders for her men before he noticed our presence.

"Huh? Who are you people?" He spoke with an irritated tone. The irritated look on his face disappeared when he saw both me and Tigress 'restraining' Song.

"Not too long ago, we heard that a snow leopardess has escaped from your camp. We captured her and thought about bringing her back here for a reward." I said.

"I'm impressed that you two were able to capture her, it took about a dozen of my men to restrain her down." He chuckled. "You said you wish to have a reward?" Me and Tigress nodded. "Alright, stay here and keep an eye on her, I'll go get you two the reward for capturing her." Temutai turned and walked into a large tent.

"Alright, my sisters are locked over there." She used her snout to pointed the direction of her caged felines. "I'm gonna go there and free them, try to make my escape look real." We both nodded at Song.

"Aarrgghh!" Both me and Tigress let off an exaggerated yell as Song started 'struggling'. Our 'struggle' to hold down Song started attracting the attention of the other armed water buffaloes.

Shortly, we both let loose of the restrains as Song 'broke' free from the ropes and ran off towards the prison cells to free her caged sisters. Me and Tigress started smacking buffaloes away who tried to stop Song on freeing the others ladies. Temutai got out of the tent and saw the mess.

"What in the world is going out here?" The gray buffalo soon set his eyes on me and Tigress. "You two? What the hell did you two do?" He demanded. I smirked as we both took off our headwear as Temutai widened his eyes in surprise of seeing us two. "You two shall pay for this!"

"Sorry, looks like we ain't paying you anything." I taunted.

The gray buffalo yelled as he charged towards us. Me and Tigress dashed to the side as he missed us. He turned his sight to me with a growl before going after me since I taunted at first. Temutai swung his large fists at me with great speed. I was able to dodge a handful of his attacks before one of them sped up to me unexpectedly fast. Knowing that I won't be dodging it, I formed a X-shaped block and tanked the hit. My body got lifted up immediately and was sent flying backward as I rolled on the ground.

"You will regret for not paying." He grinned, raising his foot as he's preparing to crush my skull with a crushing stomp.

Temutai's body got flung to the side as I saw Tigress sneak up to him and struck him on the side of his body with a drop kick. She got up and approached me as she lended me her paw as she pulled me up to my feet. We both turned our attention to the gray buffalo who got up from the ground.

"You think we can beat him in one swoop?" I asked.

"It is possible if our teamwork works." She replied. "I'll distract him, you can finish him off with whatever you got." I nodded.

Tigress churched down on all as she lunged at him like a wild tiger. Temutai sidestepped and evaded the tiger's lunge. She moved up to him and threw multiple attacks at him. The gray buffalo was quick, dodging her attacks and countered her with a fast roundhouse kick to the side of her torso, sending her meters back. She did a swift kip-up and was back on her feet.

The tiger ran towards him head-on with a leap and did a superman. Temutai saw her attack and blocked it as his body got pushed back significantly while still maintaining his balance. I collected myself up as we both charged at him together. Tigress surprised him by doing a feint leg sweep which he fell for it, leaving his upper body wide open for my attack.

I leaped towards him and struck him with a diving punch before delivering an uppercut to his abdomen, stunning him with pain. I clenched my other hand into a fist sent it flying upward to below his chin.

"Shoryuken!"

As my rising fist struck him below his chin, the force of my Shoryuken his lifted my body up several feet high, lifting the gray buffalo up as well. While I landed with a light thud, Temutai's unconscious body crashed loudly on the ground.

My attention got shifted from the unconscious Temutai to another source of sounds. I turned my head to the side and saw dozens of snow leopardesses who stormed out of the prison tent once Song managed to fire them all out. They began attacking Temutai's men with their bladed umbrella weapon. Soon, me and Tigress quickly joined up with the snow leopardesses in battle against Temutai's remaining men.

Once the last of the remaining water buffaloes had fled away while carrying their unconscious leader after me and Tigress with the snow leopardesses overpowered them, the girls all started the recapture of their camp.

"Nice work, Lukas." I heard my tiger comrade spoke at my side. "That was a fine uppercut, haven't seen one like that in some time, you should do that more often." She smiled, crossing her arms.

"Heh, now that you remind me, you'll be seeing that more often in our matches in the next day." I chuckled. My attention on Tigress was removed when I felt multiple pair of paws grabbed my both arms as a small group snow leopardesses surrounded me. My face lit up when I felt their chests started pressing against my arms.

"Thank you for helping us taking back our camp, it really means a lot." One of the snow leopardess spoke. Before I could say "Your welcome.", another one of them cut me off.

"We would like to 'reward' you for that. You can stay here longer and we will provide you many high quality 'services' and 'entertainments'." Another one of them said in a seductive manner while placed her mouth near my ear. Afterward, I heard a quiet growl emitted from the tiger. I took a long deep breath.

"I'm sorry, but I must pass." I spoke with a calm and collected voice.

"But-"

"I know I saved you and you gals wanna 'reward' me for it, but I think it's best for me to pass." I cut her off as I managed to gently break away from their grasps as I started walking towards Tigress. "Besides, as a Kung Fu master, I do not need such entertainment from any of you. I already have a best friend who I can play with all day long for rest of this week." I smirked. The snow leopardesses to giggle with blushes.

Saying our goodbyes to Song and the others, me and Tigress walked out the camp and are making our way back to the Valley's village. During our walk, I felt a fist flew to my upper arm as I got pushed a couple of feet back. I stabilized my balance and looked at the orange feline as she was the one who had punched me.

"What the hell was that for?" I exclaimed, rubbing the new sore on my upper arm.

"'A best friend who I can play with all day long for rest of this week', huh?" She recited what I said earlier back at the camp. "You should have used more phrasing and context, now their thinking that you and I are having..." She trailed off while her face flared up in deep red.

"Huh?" I was confused at her as she seems to be flustered by something.

"... forget about it." Tigress sighed.

"Forget what?" I curiously raised one of my eyebrow.

"I said forget about it!" Her little outburst made me stayed quiet. I looked at her and saw a the redness on her face has increased its size and volume. I shrugged my shoulders and complied to her by forgetting about what she said.

We were able made it back to the Jade Palace after getting back to the Valley's village before the sun could start setting down. As we entered the Hall Of Warriors, I stopped for a moment to stretch out the tension my body had stored today.

"Man, what a fun day." I spoke.

"I couldn't agree more. It's been a while since I ever had this much fun in one day."

Shortly, we both heard several pairs of footsteps from behind. We turned and saw the rest of the gang has returned. They took noticed of me and Tigress.

"Well, you two are back early." Viper said. "Both of you looked worked up, mind if you tell us what did you do today?"

It didn't took long for both of us to explain what we did today. The part where everyone was most engaged was the part where me and Tigress helped Song retake her camp from Temutai and his men. I noticed Po held a very worried look on his face and is constantly interrupting us both by asking if Song is alright which me an Tigress replied by constantly assuring him that Song is indeed alright.

After telling them about our day, Monkey and Mantis started telling us their day. I was surprised to hear when Mantis was able to get a kiss from a mink girl at the bar without any assistance from Monkey. Hearing that made me feel proud for the little green guy as he's shown to be slowly making some good progress in finding a special partner.

Po told us he's been spending more time with his dad at Mr. Ping's Noodle Shop as his dad stated that he's a great help with the growing influx of customers. Since it's summertime and things are starting to heat up, he and Mr. Ping has purchased and added some large umbrella to shield their customers from the sun's heat.

Crane and Viper's story about today has completely blew us off the roof. The two has made an announcement and stated to us that they both are now officially a couple. Crane told us he invited her to have a meal with him at a restaurant. At the end of their meal, it took him an enormous amount of nerves to built up the sufficient courage for him to her how he felt for her and that he loves her. Viper then reciprocated his feelings with hers as the two leaned themselves into a kiss.

Surprisingly, their relationship got approved by Shifu himself. Though Crane did say that they both should agree with Shifu about taking it easy with their relationship and don't let it get in the way of their training and future missions.

After hearing their story about today, I could see both Monkey and Mantis are currently having their jaws crashing down on the floor while me, Tigress and Po simply gave them a brief applause for their relationship.

"I congratulate you two on your newly established relationship." Tigress gave the couple a small smile.

"I wish you two will find great joy and happiness in your relationship." Po looks as he want to give the couple a massive, suffocating bear hug, but he was able to contain himself from doing so.

"Congrats, Crane! I knew you can do it." I smiled while clapping my hands.

We looked at our certain two amigos and awaited for them to give out their congratulations to Crane and Viper's relationship. They both looked as their trying to recover from their shock. Briefly, the two of them snapped out of their shocked state.

"Oh right, congratulation on your new relationship." Monkey said.

"To be honest, I wasn't expecting the two of you would get together and become an official couple." Mantis scratched his chin. "But nonetheless, I'm glad you both are with one another and I'm very happy for you two." The couple smiled at us warmly.

"Thanks guys, I am very glad you all didn't mind our relationship, it means a lot for us. And I mean A LOT." Viper said.

After having a delicious meal for dinner, we all head back to the Student Barrack. We bid each others good night before entering into our own room.

I removed sandals and my long-sleeved white vest off prior placing the back of my body on my bamboo bed. I rested my head on my pillow as I started thinking Crane who had finally confessed his feelings for Viper and I'm very happy to know how it turned out in the end. I'm glad Crane was able to pull it through without asking me or anyone for advices and tips as this is a sign that he's slowly growing out of his 'awkwardness' while gaining the confidence he needs.

My last thought before falling into a nice slumber went to the day I had with Tigress. Like what she said, today was the most fun she ever had and that same goes for me as well. Heh, I still can't forget that look on her face when I jumped out of the water and surprised her during our time in that lake. I yawned, shifting my body to the side to be on a more comfortable sleeping position.

Before I could allow my conscious to start drifting itself off to sleep, I remembered that we still have the rest of the week off. A smile formed on my face as I can't wait to see what tomorrow and those other upcoming days would have to offer.
