Mulan II

In the middle of the temple of the house of the Fa family, the voice of the first ancestor announced, "oh, savior of China, you have ennobled the house of Fa. In gratitude, we honor you.  All reverence to you, o mighty..."

"Say it. Say my name," Mushu encouraged. And with grand disdain and annoyance, the ancestor finished, "Mushu."

Then a light shone down on the small dragon, who was lying on a small couch in the middle of the room. Then he grinned and said, "that's what I'm speaking about! Hey, man, thanks for the intro."

The ancestor moaned in annoyance. Ever since Mulan had saved China last month, Mushu had been made officially Mulan's guardian and practically made them give her special treatment.

"And now, I'd like to visit my beloved pedestal," Mushu said.

All the ancestors moaned, but then created a staircase out of their bodies that led up to his pedestal. Mushu grinned as he jumped off the couch and then ordered, "ceremonial dress of honor."

Then one of Mulan's ancestors placed a small dark blue robe on him and started climbing up the stairs to his pedestal. The ancestor moaned and muttered under his breath to follow another ancestor. "Mulan saves China in time and now he thinks he's the Emperor."

Once Mushu reached the top of the pedestal, he said with a grin. "Ceremonial bath of honor."

Then a small bath appeared on the pedestal, he removed the robe and jumped straight in and sighed in relaxation as he said to the ancestors. "You all better take a deep breath now because I won't leave my pedestal for the next thousand years."

Then all the ancestors moaned with emotional pain as they realized they would have to put up with Mushu for all eternity and do nothing but serve him everything he wanted. Then he snapped his fingers and they all knew what that meant. Then four of them used straws and started blowing air into the bath water, which made it like a spa for him, Mushu once again sighed in bliss.

Meanwhile, in the house, Grandma Fa was placing money on a chart for a bet that she had made about Mulan. For the past month, Mulan and Shang had been dating since the war ended and they all had a feeling that Shang will at last propose to Mulan.

Fa Li paced back and forth across the room while Fa Zhou sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. Granny grinned and said, "relax, child. The spirits warn me that Shang will arrive and propose to Mulan before sunset.  There's yet time to go swimming."

Fa Zhou's eyes widened as Fa Li scolded, "mother!"

"The game is like playing mahjong with blank tiles," Fa Zhou said, "no one really wins."

Fa Li grinned at her husband and then walked out of the room. Fa Zhou smirked and winked at Granny as he handed her a stack of coins for the bet. Granny grinned and swiftly caught the coins and hid them in her jacket as Fa Li entered the room.

"I think I'll go pray," Fa Zhou said as he walked out of the room.

Then Granny and Fa Li heard a knock at the front door. Fa Li opened the door and saw it was Sha-Ron at the front door, holding a stick with a bucket at each end.

"Hello, Sha-Ron," Fa Li greeted with a grin.

Sha-Ron bowed in respect and then asked, "is Fa Mulan here?"

"She's in the field doing her chores," Fa Li responded. Sha-Ron nodded and said, "alright. I'll help her.  Thank you!"

Fa Li chuckled as she watched Sha-Ron head for the field. She closed the door and said, "the children all love Mulan."

"And why not? She's strong, she's brave, she's beautiful.  She's a piece off the old block," Granny said.

Meanwhile, in the field, Mulan had completed her chores and was now practicing her fighting skills she learned while training in the army with her rake and in her training uniform she had kept. Cri-Kee watched as she spun the rake in her hands and then jumped into the air and delivered a kick.

Sha-Ron watched her from the hill in emotion and then dropped her buckets and started running down the hill with her stick, but more girls came out of the field and watched Mulan practice.

"HI-YAH," Mulan shouts as she delivers another strike and then stops until she hears multiple voices shout, "HI-YAH!!"

She turned and saw all the girls standing behind her. She grinned and said, "hi. Uh...what's going on?"

"We want to be like you, Fa Mulan," Sha-Ron responded.

"Um...but I'm yet learning myself," Mulan replied.

Then all the girls put on their best puppy dog eyes and begged, "please! Please, Mulan!  Please teach us!"

"OK, that's it," Mulan said, "I guess I can show you some moves."

They all cheered as Sha-Ron exclaimed in emotion. "Mulan's going to teach us how to kick ass!"

"Wait, calm down," Mulan said and they all stopped, "that's lesson number two. The first and most reluctant lesson is to be soft at the same time that we're rough."

"How can you be rough and soft," Priscilla asked, confused.

"I know it sounds kinda funny, but the world is complete with opposites and so are you," Mulan explained, "to be a good warrior, you have to balance everything."

All the girls looked at Mulan in confusion and didn't understand what Mulan had meant. Mulan's eyes furrowed as she tried to think of a fashion to explain it to them better, but she grinned as she thought of something.

She knelt down to their level and started showing them examples. "Earth, heavens. Day, night.  Sound and silence.  Dark and light."

All the girls grinned as Mulan stood up and started understanding what she was speaking about.

Mulan: One alone is not enough

You need both together

Winter, summer, moon and sun

Then Mulan caught her rake and jumped in the air and delivered a strike with it, but she landed on the ground and delivered another one, which knocked the rake part off the stick.

Lesson number one

"Wow," all the girls awed at Mulan's skills.

Then Sha-Ron handed them all bamboo sticks and they all stood in straight lines, ready to learn their lesson.

Like a rock, you must be hard

Like an oak, you must stand firm

Mulan began to show them how to fight with the stick starting with the first part of the lesson. The girls continued to watch Mulan in awe as she delivered some powerful strikes to the air.

Cut fast like my blade

Think fast unafraid

Then all the girls started repeating Mulan's movement that she had shown them and Mulan was impressed on how faster they were learning. One girl was having damage keeping a stance, but Mulan helped her and she grinned that was now in a correct fighting stance.

Girls: Like a rock, I must be hard

Like an oak, I must stand firm

A girl's fringe covered her eyes and she almost hit the girls with her stick until she was blind. She lifted her fringe and chuckled hesitantly as the two girls frowned at her.

Cut fast like my blade

Think fast unafraid.

"Alright, Mulan, I'm ready," Sha-Ron said in determination as she took a stance.

Mulan laughed a little and said as she tipped her over gently. "Uh-huh, but you're yet off balance. You're only halfway there."

Then Mulan took them to meditate as part of the second part of the lesson, which was being gentle at the same time. Then she did some tai chi and moved like the bamboo that was bending in the wind.

Mulan: Like a cloud, you are soft

Like bamboo, you bend in the wind

Creeping slow, you're at peace because you know

It's alright to be afraid

Little Brother came up, happily shivering at Priscilla. She flinched and started to shake her head no, but then Mulan gently caught her hand and guided it to Little Brother's head. Then she started patting it, but she grinned and stopped being afraid of Little Brother.

Then all the girls started meditating and then started doing tai chi just like Mulan showed them, which presented they were starting to understand about how to be gentle at the same time while being rough.

Girls: Like a cloud, I am soft

Like bamboo, I bend in the wind

Creeping slow, I'm at peace because I know

It's alright to be afraid

Then the girls followed Mulan and mimicked her moves across a hill and over a creek. One of the girls incidentally fell into the water, but laughed as Little Brother started licking her face as she emerged.

Mulan and the girls: One alone is not enough

You need both together

Winter, summer, moon and sun

Lesson number one

Then half the girls practiced tai chi while the other half practiced with the bamboo sticks. Then the groups swapped and Mulan grinned at them now they had eventually learned about balance.

Girls: Like a rock, I must be hard (Like a cloud, I am soft)

Like an oak, I must stand firm (Like bamboo, I bend in the wind)

Mulan: You can fly

Girls: Cut fast like my blade (Creeping slow, I'm at peace because I know)

Think fast unafraid (It's alright to be afraid)

Mulan: You have begun

Girls: Lesson number

Lesson number

Lesson number

Lesson number

Mulan: Lesson number one!

They all jumped in the air and then delivered one final strike with their sticks before landing on the ground and taking a completing stance.

Then Shang landed at the field, ever since the war Shang had been promoted from captain to now general of the Chinese Army. Then all the girls dropped their bamboo sticks and ran over, shrieking in emotion. "It's General Shang! General Shang!"

Mulan blushed and grinned at the sight of her boyfriend. He chuckled as he removed his helmet and said, "hello, little warriors."

The girls chuckled and followed him as he stood in front of Mulan. She grinned and said as she gestured to his new uniform. "The new uniform suits you, General."

"Ah, the uniform, yes," Shang chuckled, "now I just have to live up on it."

"Of course you will. You're very brave," Mulan said.

"Ah, yes, well..." Shang stuttered and then cleared his throat, "Mulan, I haven't known you for a long time, but I feel like it doesn't matter that much until a man is in..."

Then he stopped as he saw the girls just watching him. He blushed in embarrassment and shuddered. "Until a m-man is in......"

All the girls chuckled at him. "Is there somewhere private we can speak," Shang asked Mulan.

"We can go to my house," Sha-Ron offered.

Shang's eyes widened a little as the girls chuckled again. Mulan laughed and said, "alright, everyone. It's time to be like the river and flow home."

All the girls moaned, but did so what they were warned and left. All except Sha-Ron, who kept standing there and grinning at Shang. Then Shang smirked at Mulan as he thought of something.

He knelt down to Sha-Ron and handed her his helmet as he asked, "could you handle this for me?"

Sha-Ron gasped and then squeaked in emotion as she caught the helmet and then ran away with it. Mulan laughed and said, "you know, you'll never get that back."

Shang laughed and they walked back to the house. Mulan got changed out of her training form and into her usual attire. Then she and Shang sat down in a garden on the bench, unaware that Fa Zhou, Fa Li and Grandma Fa were watching them from the opened windows.

Mulan chuckles and weeps some tears of joy as she shouts in emotion. "Yes!"

Shang and Mulan both laughed as Mulan jumped into his arms and then tumbled into the grass, but they both shared a passionate kiss with each other.

"She said yes," Grandma Fa said.

Fa Li grinned warmly at the sight and just like Mulan, some tears of joy fell down her face. Fa Zhou hugged Fa Li close and said, "until one's heart is filled with joy, something may spill from the eyes."

"You can say that again! I win the jackpot," Grandma Fa shouts in victory as she holds up the money she won from Fa Zhou.

Fa Zhou, however, smirked and said, "actually, I bet he'll propose to her before sunset. I bet he'll propose to her before noon."

Grandma Fa gasped in shock and then looked at the time on her watch. Then she frowned and Fa Zhou continued to smirk as she discovered it was before noon, meaning she lost the bet.

"But you don't play," Fa Li said.

"Betting against my mother is not a bet, it's an investment," Fa Zhou stated as he held out his hand. Grandma Fa moaned and placed the money as she continued to frown over the loss of her money.

In Mulan's room, as soon as she warned Mushu the news of her engagement to Shang, Mushu wept happily. "Oh, what a beautiful day! My little baby's getting married!"

"Csendes! Mushu, somebody will hear you," Mulan said with a smirk.

"I can't help it! You know dragons are very emotional," Mushu said. He grinned warmly and sighed, "it's like last month you and I saved China."

"It was last month," Mulan said with a laugh.

"How time flies! You know, this must be a magical moment for you.  I want to warn you that I'm engaged," Mushu said, which caused Cri-Kee to roll his eyes at him, "after all, I'm the guy who connected you to a cute boy.  Am I a guardian or am I a guardian?"

Mulan laughed and then hugged him as she said, "you're more than that, Mushu. You're my best friend."

Then Mushu teared up once more. Mulan placed him down and asked, "are you weeping again?"

"Of course I'm weeping, girl, don't you think," Mushu exclaimed, "I'm so happy for me! This wedding business is a big position for me.  If these ancestors go up the career ladder, they'll only see my back!"

"For now, my marriage is helping you, Mushu," Mulan said with a smirk and her eyes furrowed up.

"Yes, that's fine. But you know I'm thinking about you as well.  I'm going to plan your wedding," Mushu said, "first I have to work out a theme for myself.  You know the theme is everything.  How's the Rainbow of Memories?"

Mulan frowned and shook her head. "It's too young a graduation," Mushu suggested, "the theme is the Pink Phink."

"No way," Mulan shouts while shaking her head.

"I'm sorry I forgot I didn't like pink," Mushu said, "don't worry, Mulan, I'll think of something!"

Then he ran over to the window and ordered, "Cri-Kee, march to the fabric store!"

Cri-Kee followed Mushu out while Mulan laughed at Mushu's silliness. Then she heard a knock on her bedroom door and opened it to reveal Shang and he said as he rubbed his neck hesitantly. "Mulan, it looks like your grandmother invited someone to get engaged."

Mulan flinched and dared to ask. "Really? Who?"

They both walked to the front door as Shang responded, "China."

The whole village was out in the front yard and they all cheered. "Congratulations!"

"Give room to the happy couple," Grandma Fa announced and then all the people fell silent and then bowed in respect for Mulan and Shang as they completely stood in the doorway.

"Now this is a battlefield," Shang said. Mulan smirked and asked, "what's our strategy, General?"

Shang smirked back and responded, "divide and convict."

They both laughed and then walked down the stairs to join everyone. Meanwhile, Mushu returned back to the temple and called out through a megaphone. "Well, wake up, dead people! We have work to do!"

All the ancestors moaned and then awakened. Then Mushu stood on his pedestal and announced with joy. "I've had a statement I don't like. Mulan's getting married!"

All of the ancestors grinned and cheered for the joyous news they had just heard. If only Mushu knew it wasn't just about Mulan's engagement they were emotional about.

"Well, boil it, I know how you feel," Mushu continued, "but time is useless, then let's move ahead!"

The first ancestor smirked, along with the other ancestors and they all rose up to Mushu's pedestal. "What about the pink slipper," one of the female ancestors suggested with a smirk.

"I'm sorry no one wants to see your closet," Mushu said. "Actually that," the first ancestor said as he handed Mushu a small scroll to him.

Mushu opened the scroll and briefly read it over. Then his grin dropped a little as he said, "say, this looks like a real pink sheet. We don't want anything to do with you."

"Oh, that's right," one of the ancestors said with a grin.

"What," Mushu asked, completely confused as his grin fully dropped. "The pink slipper is for you," the first ancestor explained, "once a woman is married, her husband's ancestors are responsible for her care."

"This can't be," Mushu said, fully shocked.

"Oh, but yes," one of the ancestors exclaimed, "you're out of work, out of the seat, out of our hair!"

Then the first ancestor pulled Mushu off the pedestal, but Mushu pleaded for him to stay. "Oh, dear, I'm not going like this! It took me 500 years to get these foundations back, but I'm not giving it up!"

"Listen to me, you lazy lizard! The moment you get married to Fa Mulan, you're back to your old job," the first ancestor snapped and then without warning, he threw him in the air and straight into his old gong.

Mushu and the gong fell out the door, along with the scroll. Then the ancestors started to do a conga line while cheering. "Mushu is coming out! Mushu is coming out!  Mushu is coming out!"

Mushu looked down at his scroll in despair and concern as he asked himself. "What am I gonna do?"

Although Mushu had faced some bad news, everyone else was overly joyed by the announcement of Mulan and Shang's engagement. At the festival, Fa Zhou and Fa Li watched as Shang and Mulan enjoy the engagement festival that Grandma Fa had put on for them, but as they separated to speak about the wedding to other people they noticed they had full opposite views about the wedding and their future.

"Then it will be a grand marriage," a woman asked. Mulan nodded and responded, "absolutely."

"Oh, dear. Absolutely not," Shang responded to another woman, who asked the same question.

Fa Zhou and Fa Li's grins dropped to looks of worry for the couple as they continued to respond different questions.

"Children," another person asked Shang, who responded, "as much as possible."

"Perhaps one or two," Mulan responded to another person, who asked the same question.

"We'll have to think about it," Shang said to another question and then Mulan responded the full opposite to the same, "immediately."

"Blue," Shang said.

"Pink," Mulan said.

"Take it," Shang said.

"Spicy," Mulan said.

"Yes," Shang said.

"No," Mulan said.

"Oh, dear. Did you hear that," Fa Li asked.

Fa Zhou nodded and said, "not exactly a harmonious couple. Perhaps we should give our gift to the children now."

Suddenly, a soldier burst through the gates and ran up to Shang and Mulan, carrying two scrolls and then said as he handed them to them. "General Shang, Fa Mulan. Orders from His Majesty, the Emperor."

"Are there problems," Shang asked as he and Mulan read the scrolls. The soldier nodded and said, "yes, sir. Report to the Imperial Palace."

"Let's leave immediately," Shang responded.

Mulan and Shang started getting their horses ready while Mushu and Cri-Kee watched from the roof. "This must be quite reluctant to the Emperor want both of us," Shang said.

"He knows a winning team until he sees one," Mulan said.

Mushu scoffed and said to Cri-Kee. "Since where they are the winning team? The ink yet hasn't dried on my pink paper and I'm being replaced."

Then Cri-Kee chirped at Mushu with a stern face. Then Mushu looked down in disgrace and said, "yes, I know, you're right. How could I be so selfish?  Look at them these two clearly understood.  Cri-Kee, I have to say a farewell to my pedestal because my girl's happiness comes first."

Cri-Kee grinned proudly at Mushu for his decision, but they both heard a noise and turned to see Fa Li and Fa Zhou walk inside. Mulan grinned and said, "Dad, Mum."

"We were just admiring the mudan tree," Fa Zhou said.

"It's so beautiful this year," Mulan said.

Fa Zhou grinned and then continued, "the flowers reach the sunshine above, but not seen, the roots reach the rainwater below. Blood and sweat, so different, but only working together create harmony and life together."

"I remember, Dad. The lesson of Yin and Yang," Mulan said.

Fa Zhou and Fa Li removed their necklaces to reveal the Yin and Yang symbol on each one as he said, "and to help you remember this lesson."

"Father, Mother, your necklaces," Mulan said in awe.

"Not ours. Our great-grandparents and now yours," Fa Li said as Fa Zhou placed the white Yin symbol on Mulan and the black Yang symbol on Shang.

Shang grinned and said, "thank you, sir."

"But you'll be surprised how much they can weigh," Fa Zhou said, "to share the burden, you must work together like the sun and the rain."

Shang and Mulan grinned romantically at each other. Mushu, however, took Fa Zhou's advice the wrong fashion as he said to Cri-Kee, "wait a moment. Old Fa Zhou has a point now.  Mulan and Shang are as different as blood and sweat.  What if the passion ends, their Tree of Life will end its rotten roots."

Then Cri-Kee chirped while frowning at Mushu. Mushu, however, said, "oh, yes, sure, she looks happy. That's the real tragedy here.  The girl doesn't even realize how miserable she is!  That's why I have to nip this fact in the bud."

Then Cri-Kee started squeaking and then Mushu replied, "this isn't about my pedestal! It's about Mulan making the biggest mistake of my...I mean, dear life.  How could I be so selfish?!  Mulan's a girl worth fighting for, after all, I am the girl's guardian.  Cri-Kee, I'll tear them apart!"

Cri-Kee moaned in frustration and just fell to the ground, giving up. Mushu grinned and asked, "well, I guess that means you're on board?"

Shang and Mulan continued to ride on their horses through the country, heading for the Imperial City. Then Mushu burst his head out of the saddlebag and asked nauseously, "uh, Mulan, could you smooth the ride a little? I feel sick."

"Mushu! What are you doing here," Mulan asked in surprise.

"Hey, wherever you go, I'm going, girl. Remember, teamwork has nothing to do with ego," Mushu said with a grin. Then his grin dropped as he saw Cri-Kee had hitched a ride as well and he snapped, "Cri-Kee! What are you doing here?"

Mulan laughed and then concentrated back on the road. Cri-Kee chirped a little and then Mushu asked in surprise and offense, "protect Mulan from me? I'm her guardian!"

Then he chirped with pride. "Yes, you're her lucky cricket," Mushu sighed in defeat, "you're lucky I don't bust the bug spray!"

By the late afternoon, Mulan and Shang arrived at the Imperial City and went to the Imperial Palace where the Emperor was waiting for them. Then he said as he walked down the stairs to them. "As we stand here, Mongolian forces are approaching our border. The threat of attacks is growing day by day.  As that is, our army's hopelessly outnumbered."

"Your Majesty, let me lead my forces in a pre-emptive strike," Shang suggested, "each of my warriors will fight like ten Mongols."

"No, General. I intend to defeat this enemy without the use of force," the Emperor said as he stood in front of the map that was laid out on a small table in front of them, "instead, you will forge such a strong union that the Mongol hordes won't dare to attack.  An alliance with the kingdom of Qui Gong.  We'll become united through marriage."

He formed three figures of princesses with his hands and placed them on the map as he said, "you will escort three princesses to Qui Gong. There, they will marry Lord Shen's sons and seal this reluctant alliance."

Mulan's eyes widened in shock, but she remained silent. Then the Emperor continued, "my advisors warn me, the horoscopes are clear. If this marriage doesn't happen in three days, the alliance will collapse and the Mongols will destroy us.  Mark my words, General; three days."

"Not another moment, Your Majesty," Shang said with a bow.

The Emperor noticed the shocked look on Mulan's face and asked, "what's eating you?"

"Your Majesty, an arranged marriage," Mulan asked.

The Emperor gestured for her to come forward. After she did, he said, "rest assured, child, my daughters know exactly what they're doing."

"Your daughters," Mulan asked, taken aback by this.

"They consider it an honor to marry for peace," the Emperor finished. Mulan bowed and said, "your Majesty."

The Emperor grinned gently and said, "apology accepted."

"General, how many troops do you estimate you will need to complete this mission," he asked Shang.

Shang and Mulan grinned at each other as they knew exactly how many and who they were thinking of and he responded, "three."

"Three companies," the Emperor asked. Then Shang corrected, "three men."

"You surprise me, General. These are my children," the Emperor pressed a little, feeling concerned for the safety of his daughters.

"This mission requires not violence, but finesse. We must become one with the landscape," Shang explained.

"As Emperor, I trust you. As a father, I ask you to choose your three soldiers wisely," the Emperor concluded.

"I only know the men. Fearless..." Shang began with a grin. Then Mulan added, "loyal."

"And disciplined," Shang added. Mulan grinned as she finished, "China's most honorable and noble soldiers."

The matchmaker's doors burst open and suddenly, Ling, Yao and Chien-Po were suddenly thrown right out the doors as she roared, "AND STAY OUT!!"

They yelped as they landed on the ground in a heap of chickens. Then the matchmaker roared at the three men. "I've found wives for hundreds of men, but the Golden Corral himself hasn't been able to create love matches for the three of you! Come back until you have personalities!"

Ling stood up and snapped, "well, that's a nice fashion to treat the biggest in China..."

He was cut off as Matchmaker threw a pot right at his face and knocked him back down. "Heroes," he completed with a moan.

Then they all stood back up and dusted themselves off. "What's her problem," Yao said, "all I asked for was a girl who worshiped the land I walk on."

"I just asked for someone to cook for me morning, noon and night," Chien-Po said. Then Ling said, "I just wanted a girl who likes to laugh and she thinks I'm a god."

"Maybe we weren't accurate enough," Chien-Po suggested.

"Oh, forget that Dragon Lady. The only ones who can find girls worthy of us are us," Ling said.

"Yes," Yao agreed.

Ling: Well, I don't need her to be all smug and snooty

They all poked their tongues at Matchmaker's home. Then Yao showed off his medal and also the statue of the three of them in the middle of the town.

Yao: I have a plague right here that says I kicked Hun booty

Chien-Po: We have everything we dreamed we'd find

Until we came back from war

All: 'Yes! Everything but....'

They all watched as a girl walked past them down the street and grinned romantically at her. Then they saw a girl at a concession stand, pouring herself some tea and she winked at the three boys.

A girl worth fighting for

'Hey, suck in your gut! There's a girl worth fighting for'

"And I think she wants us to come over here," Ling said in emotion. Then the boys started daydreaming about the type of girls they would like to date one day.

Ling: My girl won't laugh at all my jokes

But warn it to me straight

Yao: She'll rub my head until I get sick

Chien-Po: And let me pick off of her plate

Then Ling walked over to the girl and they both grinned at each other.

If Ling can find a girl, who likes his chopstick nose trick

Then she got weirded out as he started showing off some of his tech and then became disgusted as he suddenly picked up two chopsticks and wiggled them around in his nose.

Yao: Oh, he really just propose fast!

The girl suddenly punched Ling into the face and knocked him into Chien-Po and Yao. Then the three boys just walked into a restaurant with Ling looking down.

Ling: Well, I have to say based on today I'm cranky

Chien-Po: I'll just spend my life with you two

Yao: Pass the hanky

Chien-Po handed him a tissue and then Yao blew his nose. Then Ling pulled a chair from someone else and caused them to fall on the floor and then suddenly before they knew it, the three boys were now fighting in an all-out brawl with all the other men inside.

All: And there's no one there to steal my chair

And twirl around the floor

Wish that I had a girl worth fighting for

Ling: I would be true

All: To a girl worth fighting

Yao: I'd make fondue

All: For a girl worth fighting

Yao: I'd even kiss you

All: For a girl worth fighting......

The three boys were kicked right out of the restaurant and landed outside in a heap and then moaned, "foooooOOOOR!!!!"

The three of them grinned at the sight of Shang and Mulan, who were now wearing usual clothes standing in front of them. "Mulan! General Shang," they both exclaimed.

Shang chuckled and then said, "if the three of you aren't too busy disturbing the peace, I need you to join Mulan and me on a mission."

"To save China," Ling asked in emotion. Mulan nodded and responded, "of course."

They all stood up and then Yao responded, "I'll leave some broken hearts behind, but you contaminate me."

"Sign me up," Ling replied. Then Chien-Po asked, "where do we start, General?"

"Tonight," Shang responded.

It was now late at night, a carriage rode along with a small trailer on the back was ready to go. Shang stood past it, wearing normal clothes ranging from white and a red T-shirt and jeans, along with a black jacket. He nodded as he saw Yao, Ling and Chien-Po ready to go and keeping watch around the area, also wearing normal clothes in order to blend in as they traveled.

Then he looked up to see the three princesses wearing long dark jackets come out and stood at the top of the stairs with the Emperor. One was an African-American girl with an orange headband in her long curly black hair, she was Princess Ting-Ting and she was the first adopted daughter of the Emperor, the second girl was wearing a pink hair clip in her long black hair, she was Princess Mei and she was the second adopted daughter of the Emperor and the last girl had an orange flower in her long raven hair, she was Princess Su and she was third adopted daughter of the Emperor.

All three girls bowed their heads to their adopted father before opening their fans, covered their mouths and headed down the stairs towards the carriage. Mulan came out wearing her usual black shirt, black skirt and green leggings with black combat boots, but also had a black jacket on.

The princesses walked into the carriage and as Mei was starting to climb into the carriage, her shoe fell off. Yao immediately noticed and walked over as Mei turned around. Yao picked up the shoe and then suddenly as he looked into her blue eyes, both of their eyes widened at each other and even though her mouth was hidden by her fan, Mei blushed and grinned at Yao.

Yao held her shoe out and as he placed it back on her foot, he grinned up at her. She grinned back before heading inside the carriage with her sisters. Yao walked back over and stood next to Ling and Chien-Po and sighed blissfully, much to the confusion of Ling and Chien-Po.

Shang stood at the door and said to the girls. "We're on our road, Your Highnesses. You have my word, we'll come faster and safely."

"My sisters and I thank you, General Shang," Ting-Ting said, keeping the fans in front of their mouths.

Then Mulan came up with blankets in her hands. Shang grinned and said, "allow me to introduce Fa Mulan."

Mei nodded and said, "it's a privilege to meet China's hero."

"Get ready," Shang said.

Mulan nodded and then Shang went to go make sure everything was in order. Mulan handed them each a blanket as she said, "you might need these. It's a little chilly."

"Thank you, Fa Mulan," Ting-Ting said in appreciation.

"You're welcome," Mulan said, "then you should marry the Qigong prince? Yes, they must be handsome."

"We don't know. We've never met them," Su said.

"Really? Then you have no idea what they're like at all," Mulan asked in worry.

"It's alright, Fa Mulan. It's an honor to serve the Emperor and the Magic Kingdom," Ting-Ting said.

"It's all so emotional," Su said, "we're very happy. Really?"

"Yes, I'm glad to hear that," Mulan said.

"Mulan, get ready to move out," Shang called out.

Then Mulan closed the door to the carriage, as soon as the door was closed, the girls dropped the fans and sighed mournfully.

Shang and Mulan rode on their horses up front. Yao and Ling sat on the carriage as Ling took the reins and Chien-Po rode a horse behind the carriage. As the Emperor watched the carriage leave, he sighed mournfully to watch his adopted daughters go.

"If we come to the Honshu Pass for dinner tomorrow..." Mulan said to Shang.

"We have just enough time to get to Qui Gong," Shang concluded, thinking the same as Mulan.

Mushu smirked as he stayed inside the bag and said in his head. "Yes, just enough time to stop Mulan from making my biggest mistake...I mean, her life."

As morning came, they were yet traveling down the road, passing many fields of flowers and rice farms. Shang could see Mulan was upset about something and asked, "why the long face, Mulan?"

"There's no face. This is my face, that's all," Mulan lied. Shang chuckled a little and said, "you know I know you're better than that, Mulan. What's wrong?"

Mulan sighed and responded, "I realize that our duty is to the mission, but...but I have another duty to my heart."

Shang sighed and stopped for a moment as she said, "Mulan, your only duty is to the Emperor."

"But Shang, an arranged marriage," Mulan asked.

Shang grinned at her and said, "I know, but not everyone can be as lucky as we are. In an ideal world, everyone would marry for love, but the world's not perfect."

Then he placed his hand on Mulan's and concluded, "I'm just glad my world is."

Mulan grinned back at him and then they continued on. Mushu scoffed and then said to Cri-Kee silently. "Speak about selfish! You don't hear me brag about what my world is like, even if that is.  I warn you, Cri-Kee, the sooner I break them, the better it'll go for Mulan."

At the carriage, Yao was hardly paying attention to Ling's jokes as he was just looking love-struck. "Do you see how she looked at me," he asked.

"You mean by disgust," Ling joked, making himself and Chien-Po laugh.

Yao frowned and snapped, "NO!!"

He calmed down and said with bliss. "Our eyes met, and we shared a cosmic moment. Just as if I were looking at the pork pig's knuckles!"

Ling elbowed Yao in the ribs and said, "it doesn't matter. We're on a mission.  No contact with the princesses."

"Engaged to be married princess," Chien-Po reminded.

Yao suddenly looked down and remembered how Mei was engaged.

Inside the carriage, the girls had removed their jackets to reveal their normal clothing. Ting-Ting was wearing an orange top with an orange skirt and black shoes, Su was wearing a purple shirt, lilac leggings and lavender flats and Mei was wearing a pink shirt, blue leggings and white flats.

Su sighed happily at the view of the fields they were going past and asked, "wow! China is so big.  Isn't it beautiful, Mei?"

She closed the curtains and then saw Mei wasn't paying attention, but looking out the front window with Yao.

"Uh, Mei," Su asked.

Mei shook her head and closed the window as she asked with a grin. "Did you see how she looked at me?"

"Who? The gorilla with the bad eye," Ting-Ting asked, describing Yao.

"Gorilla? He's more like a big, cuddly panda bear," Mei said as she hugged a pillow.

"But you didn't even speak to him," Su said.

"A true romantic can warn. He can be rude on the outside, but on the inside....." Mei began, but then Ting-Ting cut in and said, "he's cruel."

Mei frowned for a moment and then said, "I mean under this."

"He smells," Su suggested.

Mei threw her pillow at Su and then said, "I can see past my nose. Deep down, deep, deep down, far down, it's something."

Su grinned and said, "Ting-Ting, I think she's in love."

Ting-Ting, however, frowned and said, "oh, dear! There'll be none of that.  Remember, Mei, you're getting married in three days.  You took your solemn oath."

Mei and Su looked down and then Mei said, "you're right."

"I promise I won't let you down," Shang ordered.

Ling pulled the reins and bought the carriage to a stop. Mulan went over to the window and said to Ting-Ting, Mei and Su. "We stop to water the horses. Perhaps you want to stretch your legs?"

"Are the, uh...guards out there," Mei asked, hiding her blushing behind her fan.

"Oh, yes. You're perfectly safe," Mulan responded.

"I think a leg extension would be really nice," Mei said with a bright grin.

She handed her fan to Ting-Ting and immediately came out of the carriage. Ting-Ting frowned while Su chuckled, both knowing she had other intentions other than just to stretch her legs.

Mei looked to see Yao setting up a small table with some food for them all. As he was placing a tray of fruit down, Mei walked up behind him, causing him to jump in fright and almost drop the fruit.

Luckily, he managed to catch them all as she said with a grin. "Oops. Um...thanks for helping me with my slipper."

Yao grinned nervously as he asked, "do I know your name?"

"Uh, now...uh...dow...cow. Bao," Yao stuttered, fully hesitant, but tried to hide it.

Mei sat down on one of the cushions and offered him an apple as she said, "you have to eat. It must be exhausting to watch us day and night."

"Oh, dear...well, yes...but I'm strong and marching......" Yao responded, flinching as he thought he just embarrassed himself, but Mei didn't seem to mind at all.

"I guess all that training makes it second nature," Mei said, yet grinning gently at him.

"But I think, uh...you and princess with, uh...I would never...." Yao said.

"But it's our duty and honor. Although, it can be a burden," Mei admitted. Then she realized her mistake. "I've said too much."

She grinned and said, "you're very easy to speak to, Yao."

Yao grinned back and complimented as he bowed to her for a moment. "Allow me to repeat your praise, Your Highness. I find your presence fascinating and your conversation sparkling."

Mei blushed bright red and continued to grin as she said, "thank you."

Su was collecting some fruit from the trees that were around them. She tried to reach for a pear, but it was really high up. As she jumped up to try and catch it, she suddenly felt someone lift her up, allowing her to catch the pear.

Suddenly, Ling came up to her and introduced himself to her. "Hello there. I'm Ling."

Ting-Ting blushed in embarrassment and said, "I'm Princess Ting-Ting!"

"Well, if you ever need me, give me a ding-a-ling," Ling said as he pulled out a entire bunch of sandwiches from his backpack.

Ting-Ting continued to flinch and hide behind her fan. Ling grinned as he decided to try and make her laugh with some of his jokes. "C'mon, Your Highness. You don't want to be on your guard!  Understand?  Beware!"

While Ling laugh, Ting-Ting continued to flinch and hide behind her fan. "You know, I have some blue blood myself," Ling tried again, "many have called me a royal pain!"

Having seen enough, Ting-Ting runs off while Ling shouts, "you've been a grand crowd."

Then he looked down, feeling like full idiots for embarrassing himself like that.

A few moments later, everyone was getting ready to leave again. Su came up to Ting-Ting and showed her the fruit in the basket as she said, "Ting-Ting, look. Isn't this fruit delicious?  Chien-Po had it for me.  He's so sweet."

"Get your pomegranates in the wagon," Ting-Ting said with a weak grin.

While Su and Ting-Ting got inside the carriage, Mei looked at Mulan packing some of the stuff back into the trailer and wondered if she could speak to her and get some advice.

Mulan looked up and saw Mei walk up to her and saw she was looking a bit down and asked, "Your Highness, is something wrong?"

"No. Not at all," Mei responded with a white lie.

"Are you sure," Mulan asked.

"I was just..." Mei started and then grinned as she continued, "I just wanted to compliment you. You were so brave to take your father's place in the army."

"Thank you," Mulan said with a grin as she placed the box in the trailer.

"It was your duty to stay at home, but your heart warned you not to break the rules. How did you choose between duty and heart," Mei asked.

"Well...it wasn't easy. But by following my feelings, I eventually did the right fact," Mulan responded, "I think I've learned that my duty is after my own heart."

Mei thought about what Mulan said and grinned. Then she said before going back to the carriage. "That makes sense. This is amazing!  Thank you, Fa Mulan.  Thank you."

"You're welcome. I guess," Mulan said, feeling a little confused about what just happened, but shrugged it off for now.

"Let's come back on the road," Shang called out. Mulan closed the trailer door and headed back to her horse.

Mushu smirked in anticipation and said silently, "that's my cue to launch Operation Shang. Pretty boy's going to look so bad that Mulan has to run into the hills.  This is going to be delicious!"

A couple of hours later, Mulan was watching Shang fish for everyone else's lunch. He smirked and tried to pose to impress Mulan.

Mushu saw an opportunity to embarrass Shang and while he lowered his fishing rod behind him, he suddenly changed target and hooked the hook on the back of his shirt, causing it to snag and him to get tangled in his own shirt.

Mulan watched as he lost balance and fell into the water. She walked up to him as he sat up and fixed his shirt a little. Suddenly, something was wiggling around his shirt, causing him to twist and turn, Mulan reached in and pulled out the fish that was in there.

"Nice catch, Shang," Mulan said, laughing. Shang laughed, along with her.

Mushu growled, but then grinned as he thought of something else. After lunch, they were about to head on the road again, Shang was just completing his horse's saddle. Mushu swiftly loosened the buckle on the other side and hid behind Mulan's horse.

As soon as Shang got on his horse, his saddle slipped and he ended being upside down. Mulan grinned and loosened her own saddle's belt and slipped underneath as well, giving Shang a kiss on the cheek and earning a grin back from him.

Mushu jumped in frustration on top of Khan. Khan turned and growled at Mushu before kicking him away with his muzzle.

A few hours later, they eventually stopped for a break and to make some dinner. Shang and Mulan were sitting together, enjoying some tea until Mushu sneaked some worms down the back of Shang's shirt, causing him to jump up in fright and wiggle around, trying to get rid of the worms.

"Shang," Mulan asked as she stood up.

Suddenly he bumped into her and made her fall on top of her as they both landed on the ground. However, instead of getting frustrated with him, they both laughed, making Mushu growl in rage again.

He banged his head against something hard, but stopped until he saw it was Khan's leg, who was banging his head on. Khan growled at him, making him yelp in fright.

As the hour went past, Mushu had tried everything to break Mulan and Shang apart. He tried dropping a beehive on his head, sent a frustrated grizzly bear after him and even sent smaller forest animals, such as squirrels, skunks and porcupines. But none of them made Mulan and Shang break up.

As Shang tried to light the campfire to cook Mulan a tofu soy melt for her, a small explosion was heard and behind her was now Shang, roasted in ashes and a fully burnt tofu soy melt was now in his hands.

Mulan, however, didn't get mad and picked up the tofu soy melt and said as she took a bite out of it. "Huh...tasty."

Mushu growled as he hid in some grass. Khan suddenly jumped right on him, teaching him a lesson for trying to wreck Shang's and Mulan's relationship.

A few moments later, Mushu was now walking underneath the carriage, using a crutch to walk and was now covered in bandages, thanks to Khan hitting her. Cri-Kee was indeed very happy to see he had failed to try and break Shang and Mulan up.

"I try and I try. I put my heart and soul into breaking them up and what do I have to show for it," Mushu said in despair and defeat.

Cri-Kee immediately began laughing at Mushu for his misfortune and karma.

"A cricket laughs in my face," Mushu exclaimed, unaware that the end of his bandage getting caught in the wheel of the carriage, "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!"

"Oh, grand ancestors! I submit myself to your grace," Mushu pleaded as he threw her crutch. However, the crutch bounced on and off the wheels of the carriage like it was a pinball game, before it knocked the rock that was keeping the wheels silent off the wheel and the carriage began to move.

"My pedestal is anything but another memory! Grand spirits, take me now," Mushu begged, but then suddenly, he was choked by his bandage and dragged by the fast moving carriage that was rolling down the hill.

The princesses were inside the carriage as it continued to roll down the hill. All of them shrieked. The boys were sitting down, waiting for Shang and Mulan to come back from scoping out the area before traveling again until they saw the carriage and it smashed onto them, causing them to land on the carriage and they held on.

"Hang on, ladies! We'll save you," Yao shouts.

He suddenly notices the cliff and shouts, "CLIFF!!"

Mulan and Shang saw what was going on.

"They're going to the cliff! C'mon," Shang said as he jumped off his horse and went after the carriage while Mulan followed on Khan.

They eventually caught up with them. "Time to go, ladies," Ling shouts as he stands near the window.

Ting-Ting passed Mei to Ling, who placed her on the back of Mulan's horse. Mei held onto Mulan as they continued. Then Ting-Ting passed Su to Shang. Shang placed Su on his back and she held onto his neck.

"Ting-Ting, over here," Ling said. Ting-Ting was about to climb out and catch Ling's hands, but her foot got stuck in a crack on the carriage floor.

"LING," Shang shouts.

"Ting-Ting's stuck," Ling called out as he began to try and get Ting-Ting out.

Shang pulls out some rope and throws the other end to Mulan as he shouts, "MULAN, THE ROPE!!"

Mulan caught the end and tied it to her saddle. Khan, Mulan and Shang pulled back as hard as they could, all of them shrieking as they came closer and closer to the cliff.

"HANG ON," Yao shouts as they all fall off the cliff.

Ling pulled Ting-Ting out just in time, all of them falling into the river below. The carriage smashed into the sharp rock and was destroyed. All of their supplies floated in the water as they emerged to the surface.

"Is everyone alright," Shang asked after he emerged to the surface.

"I saved the food," Su said as she started collecting the fruit she picked from that morning.

Chien-Po lifted her bridal underneath as he surfaced and said with a grin. "And I saved you."

Su grinned back. Mulan eventually emerged to the surface and as soon as she did so, Shang swam over to her and hugged her.

"Mulan? What just happened," Shang asked.

"I don't know," Mulan responded as she hugged him back, "I wasn't near the hackney."

"Yao, Ling, keep the supplies. Keep paddling," Shang said.

Mushu emerged from the water and Cri-Kee immediately arrived and squeaked frustratedly at him. He frowned and snapped, "my fault?! This wasn't my plan!"

He looked down and continued, "the car's broken, cold and miserable, everything's ruined!"

He suddenly brightened up as he thought of something and said as he drained his tail of water. "Or perhaps not. Old Shang's steaming like a fresh pork bun...aha!  I bet he and Mulan are two mean words away from an all-out feud!  Oh, Cri-Kee!  Facts are brightening up anyhow!"

As night came, the camp was all set and luckily all the supplies had survived the smash, Cri-Kee and Mushu were just relaxing in the tree. Then they both watched as Shang came out with a now soaking wet map and Mulan, hanging a cloth past the campfire to dry.

"I saw a happier princess," Mulan commented.

"This is the least of our problems," Shang said as he tried to gently pick up the map. However, because of its soaked state, it almost tore in half, causing Shang to moan.

"There's the Tung Shao Pass between here and Qui Gong," Shang explained as he looked at the map while standing up. Mulan walked over and continued to listen as she also looked at the map.

"It takes us to Bandit Country, but that's the only road," he concluded.

"Why don't you follow the river," Mulan suggested, pointing to the river they fell into after the smash.

"Because the river isn't on the map," Shang replied.

"There's no doubt that you'll pass through the town. Where there's a town, there's a road," Mulan said with a grin.

"There's no town on the map," Shang said.

Mulan smirked and suggested, "then we just want to forget the map and wing it."

"We can't put it on the wings! We need a new plan.  We have three days.  What if we get lost," Shang asked, getting slightly annoyed.

"Then we pull and ask for directions," Mulan responded.

Shang, however, was stubborn and determined to stick to the planned route. "You don't have to pull and ask for directions. There is a map."

"A man and what this is and asks for directions," Mulan asked, laughing slightly.

But Shang snapped in annoyance. "What is a map with women?!"

"Oh! You're saying women couldn't read the map," Mulan said with a smirk.

From there, the two lovers began their debate about the differences between men and women. Mushu chuckled and smirked with emotion, as he saw that already they were in the arguing stage of his plan.

"General, I..." Yao cut in, but then stopped as he saw they were arguing and felt awkward.

Mulan and Shang immediately stopped. "Are you in the road," Yao asked hesitantly.

Shang shook his head and asked, "what is this, Yao?"

"Scout report. I found a village in a forest and a road to it," Yao reported.

"A forest path," Mulan and Shang asked at the same time. Then they both chuckled slightly and Shang said, "wonderful. Show me."

Yao led them to the edge of the hill and in the distance was the village he was speaking about. Mulan grinned and said, "there must be a road to Qui Gong."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yao," Shang said.

"Thank you," Yao said with a bow and then headed back to the camp.

Mulan and Shang looked down from each other. Shang looked at the map, trying to hide his guilt, but it was no use.

Mulan sighed and began her apology. "Shang, I'm sorry. You're in charge of the mission."

Shang shook his head. "No, I'm very sorry. Good leaders accept new ideas.  Please forgive me."

Mulan grinned warmly at him and said, "there's nothing to forgive."

Shang grinned back and the two embraced each other in a hug. As they pulled apart, their necklaces became tangled, keeping them together. They both laughed and then Mulan untangled them.

They both continued to stare lovingly into each other's eyes for a moment and then Mulan said, "well, I'd better go. I've had the first watch, General."

Shang grinned and nodded. Then Mulan kissed Shang on the cheek and headed to her post.

Cri-Kee grinned and blew a raspberry at Mushu, believing that his plan was failing. Mushu, however, was unfazed.

"Are you tapping? Look where she goes.  She can't wait to escape from him.  This is not a grin.  That's a mask of pain," Mushu retorted.

Cri-Kee, however, rolled his eyes and squeaked sarcastically. Mushu smirked and said, "yes? Well, it was the first version #1 of my new 18-phase master plan.  Now just version #2, until I get up close......"

He paused and set Cri-Kee's butt on fire, causing the poor little cricket to screech in fright and hit his butt against the branch to put it out.

"And personally," Mushu concluded as Cri-Kee frowned at him.

Ting-Ting, Su and Mei all sat together in front of the warm fire. Mei continued to watch Yao lovingly, as he was chopping wood without his shirt on.

She sighed blissfully, longing to be with the one she started to love. Then Ling came up to Ting-Ting, holding her orange-colored fan in his hand.

"Excuse me, Your Highness," Ling addressed hesitantly with a grin. He held out her fan to her and said, "I found your fan. I needed to dry a little."

Ting-Ting took the fan from his hands and said with a small grin in appreciation. "Thank you, Ling."

"Usually, I think I'm your biggest fan," Ling said, laughing a little, but then stopped and looked down.

"I'm just...I'm leaving now," Ling said, not looking where he was going as he walked off.

He yelped as he suddenly bumped into the pot that was hanging over, almost spilling everything out. Luckily, he caught it and put it straight again.

"I'm sorry," Ling said as Ting-Ting, Su and Mei laughed silently.

"I'll replace this," Ling said.

Then he continued to walk, feeling embarrassed as he muttered silently. "Oh, of course she doesn't like you. You're so tired!"

Ting-Ting, however, was just watching him go and grinned warmly. A slight blush on her cheeks came, which Mei noticed.

"He likes you," Mei said.

"You would think so," Ting-Ting agreed.

"And you like him," Mei asked, grinning at her.

"Well...I...thank him for being a good soldier," Ting-Ting said, her grin dropping.

That was until Mei got a little frustrated at her sister and snapped, "how can I do that?! I realized how I was looking at someone right, sharing a special connection, and just..."

Ting-Ting frowned and snapped back at her before opening her fan. "I know where my duty is, Mei. Do you?!"

Mei gasped and just continued to frown at Ting-Ting. She got up and headed back to their tent, stopping at the entrance. She turned back to her sister and then back at her fan. She sighed and realized that she didn't want to go through with the wedding.

She threw her fan to the ground and entered the tent. Pulling out a pen and paper, she knelt down at the small desk and began to write a letter to their adopted father, while looking down in despair.

"And my darling father, I can't fufill this mission. I realized that my duty was in my heart," she completed writing, yet looking down.

"What are you doing here," Ting-Ting asked, causing Mei to gasp in shock and turn to see her and Su standing behind her.

Su looked at the letter and read it. Gasping, she responded Ting-Ting's question. "She's running off."

"Mei! What on earth was she thinking," Ting-Ting asked in shock.

Mei looked down and responded, "I can't carry out this mission. I know that now."

"Why? Because Yao gave you a heart," Ting-Ting asked, trying to understand what was going on.

"No! It's not a matter of his heart.  It's mine," Mei responded.

"Mei, we spoke about this," Ting-Ting said as she knelt down and sat next to her, placing her fan down in front of her, "the princess must make every sacrifice for her country. It's our duty."

Not able to hold it in anymore, Mei began to weep. Feeling her heart breaking as she realized, she probably could never be with Yao. Ting-Ting hugged both her sisters close.
