Me: Hi! I'm new at Mulan, but this is my first story for it! So I hope you enjoy it!
Ju: Dragonslilic doesn't own Mulan.
It all started at a little hospital in the Emperors palace, where there could be heard four women screaming. Why four? Well one was Mulan, the savior of China; wife of General Shang. The other was Su, the Emperors youngest daughter; wife of Jin Poe. The third was Mei, the Emperors middle daughter; wife of Yao. The fourth happened to be the Emperors wife, how they had a child at like ninety years old? No one my ever know.
All of the new happy mothers had wonderful, beautiful, delicate baby girls. But wait? Why is there so much blood under the Emperors wife? Every doctor was running around trying to stop all the bleeding and pain that the Emperors wife was going through. The Emperor ran to her holding her hand saying it was going to be all right, but he knew it wasn't. She moved he lips to the very last words she would ever say, "I…love…you" she took a one-last huffy breath, and died right there on the blood stained bed. The Emperors eyes were full of tears. He heard crying from the bundle that she was holding, he took it and held it. There was a beautiful baby girl crying for her mother. He held it close and whispered "My little Kia" and from then on her name was Dun Kia.
Seventeen years later
Li Ju was laying down next her best friends, Ze Niao and Ni Bei, and looking at the sky when they were supposed to be doing their chores. "It's so big" Niao said with aw. "We see it every day! Why is this one different?" Bei asked. "Leave her alone Bei! She's just stating the obvious like usual" Ju said earning a punch in the shoulder, courtesy of Niao. Ju grinned at her friend.
"Ju! Niao! Bei! Are you done with your chores yet?" Jus' mom, Mulan, yelled at them. That whipped her grin of. Bei grinned at that "come on! If we finish soon, we can still make fun of Niao" She said laughing. "Hey!" Niao screamed as Bei tripped her, which lead to a tickle fight between all three friends.
Soon they were done with their chores and were heading to their homes. Their homes were right next to each other. Ju in the middle. They were the only houses for seventy miles. Ju admitted it was a real pain when they had to ride all the way into town or to the Emperors palace. They headed to the three swings sitting next to each other and sat down, Ju in the middle. "My feet are going to fall off" Niao complained. "Well at least you aren't in the army, or they would rip off your feet" Bei joked getting a smack in the back of her head from Ju. "Ow!" She complained. Boom! Boom! They heard drums in the back ground. They looked at the mountain pass that was at least ten miles from their homes, and saw some familiar horses riding toward them. They grinned evilly "no" they heard Mulan say in Jus' house. "Aw!" They complained.
Five minutes later Chi Fu rode up with three scrolls. "The Emperor wants you to come back to the camp, you must fight against the Huns" He explained. Shang, Mulan, Yao, and Jin Poe gasped. "I thought we destroyed them!" Mulan said in shock. "Well apparently you didn't, ad you don't get a scroll, because the Emperor wants you to stay here for back up." He said. She just bowed respectively. He rode off with the rest of the soldiers behind him. The girls looked at their fathers. They all by now had war wounds. Jin Poe and Yao in their legs, and Shang in his arm. They knew that they couldn't go, but they held their tongue. They headed inside for dinner.
Ju sat there quietly pouring tea. Three minuets of silences went by, and still no one spoke a word. Ju stood up slamming her tea cup down. "You shouldn't have to go!" She yelled. Mulan knew where this was going. "I'm going to protect my country!" Shang yelled back. "So you're going to die for honor?" She asked "I'm dying for what's right! It's time you learned where your place is!" Shang yelled at her. Not word for word, but it was close enough Mulan thought. Ju ran out into the rain. Two minuets went by and Bei ran up to her. "Do you have a talk about where your place is too?" Ju asked. Bei nodded. Three minuets went by and Niao jogged up to them. "You too?" Niao asked. They nodded. They all sighed and sat down on the wet stone walk way.
"I can't stand for them to go and die" Niao whispered out loud. They nodded their heads. "Remember my moms' story? How she ran away and took her dads place?" Ju asked. They nodded looking at her. "Why don't we do the same?" She suggested. They looked at her like she had gone insane. Then Bei spoke up "Are you crazy? They won't let girl, but your mom in the army! We'll be killed!" She yelled. Ju raised her eyebrow "who said we we're going to go as girls?" Ju asked. "What? I'm not going to dress like a guy!" Niao whispered loudly. Ju rolled her eyes. "If ya'll aren't going, then I guess I'm going alone" and with that she turned around and headed to the Li-Ze-Ni ancestor temple. She bowed to the markers and put the light insects on the plate. She heard a crash behind her. She turned her head and saw a little red figure. "AHH!!!! SNAKE!!!!" She screamed.
"Dragon! Not snake! I don't do that tongue thing." The dragon then rolled out his tongue and hissed. Ju raised her eyebrow. After about four minuets of silents, the dragon spoke up. "I am your guardian, Musho. And I will help you at the camp like I did your mother." Ju looked at him and then said "You help my mother?" "Yep" Musho replied. "O-kay, so I'm leaving tonight when everyone is asleep" Ju said "I will be coming with you" He said. Ju brightened up some one is coming with me she thought. "See you tonight" Musho said and ran off with a little cricket behind him. Ju sat there for a while, and then went back inside.
When Ju heard her dad snoring she got up and went over to her night stand. She picked up a little glass lily. She sneaked into her parents' room and switched the lily for the scroll. She went to her dads' armor closet and it wasn't there! She panicked. Had they figured it out? She heard a creek behind her. There stood her mom. Ju opened her mouth to say something, but her mom through her a package. "Open it" Mulan said. Ju unwrapped it and in side was new armor with a pink sword, sash, and shirt. She beamed at her mom. "Go, before your father wakes up" and with that she ran out of the room. She got into the stalls were Musho was sleeping on her horse. She smiled and set the sleeping dragon in her saddle bag. She heard a creek behind her and saw Bei standing behind her with her horse all ready for it. Bei was wearing new looking armor with a yellow shirt under it and a yellow sash on it.
"Bei? You decided to come with me?" Ju asked. Bei nodded, and they hugged. "Hey! I'm going to too! Don't I get a hug?" A voice said behind them. They looked at the person the voice came from and saw Niao with her horse ready to go. She had new armor on too with a light green shirt underneath and a light green sash on it. She actually cut her hair. They hugged her and rode off out of the gate and toward the camp.
It took them about five hours to get there and they were extremely tired. Their eyes were dropping and they were yawning. They hitched up their tent, which they shared and stood in line to get called. Next to them stood a man with new looking black armor with a purple shirt underneath it and a purple sash around it. He looked nervous. But it was very strange that the man was about the same height, weight, legs, and face as them. Then it hit Ju. It was a girl. She whispered this into her friends' ears and they looked shocked. Ju turned to the girl and whispered into her ear. "Are you a girl trying to act like a man?" The girl looked shocked. Then she nodded her head. Ju grinned. "So are we" she whispered. The girl looked up and nodded with big eyes.
"Ok trainees! Roll call!" A handsome guy called. He had brown eyes and new armor with a red shirt underneath with a red sash around it. "Li" he called Ju took a step forward. "Name?" He asked "Uhh...," She had an evil grin "Ping" then took a step back. "Ni" Bei stepped forward and grinned. "Name?" "Pong" then she stepped back. "Ze" Niao stepped forward. "Name?" "Ling" She stepped back. "Dun" The girl stepped forward. "Name?" "Lang" And she stepped back. When he was finished with roll call, he opened hi mouth and said "Fifty push-ups! Now!" And they all groaned. This is going to be a long month Ju thought.
Me: How was it?
