"What are you doing here?" Tigress backed up into her cot, groping for her weapon that she kept near it.
Tai Lung was in her bedroom, slowly creeping up to her. She caught the glance of the leopard's eyes looking at her hand. She couldn't get it at that moment.
"Well, I thought I'd come and visit. I mean, I am welcome. Aren't I?" He smirked, his fists opening and closing, intimidating her.
One of Tigress' eyebrows arched up, giving a confused look.
"Welcome you say? Aha, breaking into my window is a strange way to enter if you're welcome." Tai Lung narrowed his eyes, but didn't make a move.

"Anyways, back to business. Tell me, how did you get out of Chorh-Gom prison? Must take some effort for that." Tigress hatched up a quick plan. While he started to bluff about his escape, she could quickly have time to grab her wooden, sharp dagger.
"You really think I'm THAT dumb to know what you're trying to do? Well, kitty..."
The snow leopard flawlessly pulled the dagger from it's hiding spot.
"You thought wrong." He amusingly watched Tigress glare at him, but with a hint of frustration in her eyes. Tai Lung twirled the weapon like a mini-baton, waiting for Tigress to lunge at him. But instead, she did the most un-imaginable thing.
"CAW CAW, CAW CAW!" The tigress called very loudly. Tai Lung was prepared for what was coming for him, but was generally surprised she made such a strange move.
The wall frames the room had were shredded by Crane, one of the Furious Five. The bird flanked one side, and Tigress the other. They both signalled each other, then struck. The snow leopard swiftly dodged, side-kicking Crane's wing. Tai Lung lifted his fist, ready to punch the tiger next, but something stopped him. He definitely could take them both, but backup would come with all the ruckus. That may cause him more trouble. As he bunched all his muscles into his legs, he sprang up onto the window and muttered, "We're not done here, Tigress." And sprinted into the moonlight.

Tigress stared off into the glowing moon, wondering about of the things that happened to her. The more she thought, the more she grew curious, and angry. How dare he call me a Kitty!
"Uhh, Tigress? You there?" A voice interrupted my thoughts. Crane yawned and rubbed his eyes.
"Oh yeah.. Sorry about that. Our call worked, at least. Thanks Crane.." She snapped back to her surroundings.
"Yeah.. Well, we'll talk more in the morning. Good night." He floated lightly back to his room, using the broken frame as a way to get there.
"Good night..." Tigress murmured faintly, before hitting the bed.

Tigress' POV

The morning gong rang, my eyes opening suddenly.
"Good morning Master Shifu!" I steadied myself on a wooden post that supported the ceiling. My legs felt like they weighed two-hundred pounds each, and my body begged for more sleep. I noticed Crane's eyes had bags in it as well, but he looked much better than I did.
"Good morning students. Where is the panda?"
Right. The panda. I completely forgot about him.
Since I was the nearest to his room, I took a quick peek inside, eyeing everything in it. No one.
"Master, no one's in there." I notified.
"Good. He must've left, I will choose the new Dragon Master today." He gave us a grin, and walked away. We all glanced at each other at surprise. Usually, Shifu would give us instructions.

"Well, uh, don't mind me. I'm gonna catch on some sleep." Crane broke the silence, walking tiredly to his room. The rest of us looked at each other, then we all headed towards the Training Area. I knew I should catch up on sleep, but the fiasco that happened last night would keep me awake for a while. I decided to start with the Turtle Bowl, fighting Viper. As the snake struck a move, my brain didn't seem to connect to my body, so I got directly hit. Viper didn't seem to notice as first, but started to wonder after my moves were under average.
"Tigress, are you alright?" Viper stopped sliding in the bowl, tilting her head at me.
"I'm fine. Just a little tired." I saltily replied. Why should she care?
"Okay.. Why don't you go back to bed? So you'll have energy to figh-"
"I SAID I'M FINE." I scowled at Viper, her face turning from worried to horrified. I never acted like this, ever since I was very young.
The others in the room stopped their training and looked at me. Soon, it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
I pushed past the snake and ran out the door. I jumped onto the roof, right before I saw Po, his shining eyes watching me curiously. He came back... I shook my head and kept going, thinking of what I just did. I rudely shouted at Viper while she was trying to help me... I blankly blinked back tears and dashed towards a hollow tree, and took refuge there. I sulked in the thick, dark trunk for the whole morning, munching on some berries that were stashed at the bottom. Soon, the afternoon came, and I decided to take a nap. But sleep didn't come, so I decided to review our rules for the Jade Palace.

Our rules are simple, but dead-serious. You aren't aloud to hurt each other badly, but that would most likely not happen. We are good defenders, and nothing serious would really happen. Our next one, would be the discipline rule. If you disobeyed the masters, you would spend a day in the Straining Room, where you are stretched out onto steel boards and stuck there for the whole day. Minor ones would just be a little talk with Master Shifu. These barely happened, and the Straining Room hasn't been used for a couple of centuries. There was another one... Hm. Forgot.
A really obvious one is stealing and vandalizing. If we stole anything from the Jade Palace, we would be disciplined. Not sure why that's a rule, since we already live there anyways.
Another rule was maintaining patience, and not arguing with the other students.
Wait. I opened my eyes, right before I drifted to sleep. That means.. I could be kicked from the Furious Five! The last part in the discipline rule...
Just as I thought that, a gong rang...

The banishing gong.
