Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't updated anything lately. Readers block in almost every story. :O. So I decided to try a new story. I know I extended time line of the story some but it doesn't matter. Enjoy.
The Fa family were sitting around the table finishing dinner.
"What a beautiful night." Mulan sighed.
"Absolutely..." Fa Li was cut off by a knock on the door.
"OOO. I bet I know who that is." Grandma chuckled. Mulan blushed red as her father went to the door and her mother went to the kitchen to get some tea.
"Please behave yourself, Grandma. Please." Mulan whispered. The only response she got was a sly wink and a smile before the men entered the room. Shang looked at Mulan and smiled broadly. He then bowed to Grandma and then to Fa Li as she entered the room.
"Would you like some..."
"Wedding cake?" Grandma cut Fa Li off.
"Tea." Mulan said quickly. "Would you like some tea?"
"Yes. Thank you." Shang replied while trying bite back a chuckle. Fa Li poured him a cup as she sent her mother-in-law a warning look.
"So, what bring you out today?" Fa Zhou asked.
"I...um..." Shang looked around the table, then at Mulan, then back to Fa Zhou.
"Perhaps we can talk about it after tea." Fa Zhou suggested.
"Thank you, Sir." Shang said as he took a sip of tea. Grandma chuckled.
"So, Captain..." Grandma began.
"Actually, its General." Mulan and Shang corrected at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled.
"So, General." Grandma mimicked. "Where have you been lately? We've missed you."
"I've been busy." Shang shrugged.
"Well, are you planning on being in town for a while?" She asked.
"No, Ma'am."
"Oh." The rest of tea was silent. After they were done, Fa Zhou and Shang headed outside.
"I wonder what their talking about." Fa Li wondered.
"My guess is a certain girl and a future wedding." Grandma chuckled.
"Grandma!" Mulan exclaimed, her face bright red.
"Well, It is possible." Fa Li said quietly.
"We're just friends." Mulan said quickly.
"He's been dropping in here for a little over a year just to see a friend." Grandma asked.
"You know when he comes what happens. You watch us practice all the time." Mulan said defensively. She looked from her Grandma to her mother.
"The subject is dropped for now." Fa Li said. They were in the process of cleaning the dishes when the men came back in.
"Mulan." Mulan spun around, dropping the cups that were in her hand. They crashed to the floor.
"That's one way to drop the subject." Grandma joked.
"I need a word with you, please." Shang said quickly. Mulan looked at her father. His face revealed nothing as he nodded his head. Shang led Mulan back outside.
"So, what did he want?" Grandma asked.
"Not what you think." Fa Zhou said. Then He left the room.
"Oh, snickerdoodles!" Grandma exclaimed.
