To make the story short, i had a thought that making a fan fic with a mulan ish kind of story would be awesome and nobody had ever done so i decided to do it :) this is my first fanfic so keep the criticism nice :)

March 16th 1944

It was a crisp Saturday morning and the sun was starting to rise on our humble Boston apartment, when my pleasant sleep was ruined.

"Wake up Sarah!" A loud shrill voice, which could only belong to my mother, called to me.

As I grumbled and groaned, I slowly started to open my eyes. I have never been a morning person and it always bugged me how others could be so chipper and active. As I started to wake up, my eyes slowly glanced around my eggshell coloured room and up to the old clock hung above my vanity. UGH! It's nine o'clock in the morning!

"Sarah, get out of the bed and get ready. The matchmaker will be herein an hour and I need to you to look like a presentable young lady."

"I wonder how the matchmaker will find somebody who's weird enough to marry you." My brother Jacob chuckled.

I stuck my tongue out at him playfully and hit him with my pillow. My brother Jacob and I have always been very close and we have a very rough sense of humour which my mother was not very happy with. My mother was the typical Jewish house wife who hoped her son would make something of his life and her daughter would learn to cook, handle a household and marry a nice rich Jewish man. Unfortunately I ended disappointing by growing up as a tomboy and playing with my brother rather than the other little girls in the neighbourhood.

"Jacob!" My mother said firmly.

"Why DO we have to hire a matchmaker?" I huffed. "Everyone knows it's a dying tradition and times are changing. I don't want to be like every other Jewish girl and slave for some boring pig."

"You are 21 years old Sarah! You need to start looking for someone who can provide for you and what better way than to hire a matchmaker, since you obviously don't want to do it."My mother said sternly.

"Why is it so wrong for me to want to step away from tradition and have more meaning to my life?"I shouted.

"Oh watch out Ma, I can see her fangs growing out." Jacob chuckled doing a clawing motion.

"Jacob, stop! Sarah I don't have time for this right now" My mother sighed. "Just get ready please."

This is just great, I thought; Time to endure a dull afternoon with people trying to discuss MY future.

First Chapter :D I ACTUALLY LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!
