"Mulan...? Will this work?" Aurora asks timidly looking down into the purple vortex that was opened before them. Mulan looks intently into the portal, it was menacing to look into, but it gave tremendous hope for anyone who looked inside. "It has to work," Mulan finally answered back looking up at her Princess, outstretching her hand towards Aurora's. Aurora holds tightly onto her Warrior's hand. Mulan nods telling the both of them, it was time to go. Mulan takes the first step, holding Aurora's hand tighter, they both jump into the portal together. Swirls of purple magic engulf the bodies, and in a flash of light they both fall onto the hard ground on top of each other. Mulan looks into Aurora's eyes making sure she was okay, then begins to blush noticing Aurora's weight upon her. Aurora giggles a bit, standing up helping her Warrior up from the harsh ground. Mulan observes her surroundings, noticing they are in the Enchanted Forest again, but it's different. Mulan finally breathes steadily for the first time, ever since they found the portal. "Mulan?" Mulan quickly looks toward Aurora, seeing she's anxious and also excited. Mulan smiles, beginning to walk toward the edge of the forest, feeling Aurora's fingers intertwining into hers. Aurora can't help but smile as she feels Mulan's fingers playing with hers, a small giggle sounds from Aurora's throat. As sweet as the moment was Mulan abruptly stops in her tracks, tensing up. Mulan and Aurora look upon the small town with the towns people walking around. "Is this it...?" Aurora's voice trembles, more from excitement than anything else. Mulan looks onto the townsfolk, trying to search for someone, then she spots her. Belle! Mulan begins to smile as wide as a kid in a candy shop, Mulan pulls Aurora eagerly towards the strange town.
"Mulan..?! Wai-" Aurora tries to keep in step with her Warrior, she doesn't understand what made her Warrior so eager. "Belle!" Mulan calls for someone, as she begins to run like a madwoman in the town. People begin to give them stares, they certainly weren't dressed like everyone else. A Warrior with her war armor, a Princess in her dress. The woman called Belle whirled around with a huge smile. Aurora looked Belle up and down, she was gorgeous. She had long, beautiful brown hair that gleamed in the sun's ray, she wore a nice small, yellow dress, and had books in her hands. "Mulan?!" Belle outstretched open arms towards Mulan. "how did you get here? You have to see everyone else! They'll be thrilled!" Belle's accent was peculiar but was soothing to listen to. Aurora stood there until Belle noticed her, "Hello! You must be Mulan's friend?" a friend? I'm more than that... Aurora pushed a smile onto her lips knowing Belle didn't know what has happened so far. "Belle this is Aurora, Aurora this is Belle, she helped me with tracking the Yaoguai, Phillip." Mulan firmly nodded, remembering the journey they had together. Belle gave Aurora a hug as well before telling them they had to meet everyone in town. Mulan never told me about this Yaoguai..."Belle, before we meet everyone...can we find somewhere to bathe and get new clothes...?" Mulan asked without hesitation, after all, they were filthy from the journey they recently travelled from.
Aurora made sure to keep right next to Mulan as Belle brought them to her small room in the library. "you both can use the bathtub and I will put out fresh clothes..Aurora would you like a dress to wear or pants?" Belle asked putting all attention in Aurora. Aurora looked at Mulan for the answer, noticing her own cheeks burned from blushing, Mulan softly smiled and answer, "a dress for my Princess" Aurora's cheeks grew redder as she heard Mulan completely stating Aurora was Hers. Belle seemed to not notice like Aurora because she nodded and told them she would be in the library if they needed anything more from her. "Why don't you bathe first Aurora, I can wait." Mulan spoke evenly, opening the bathroom door for her. Aurora smiled walking in, she marveled at the room, it was clean, white and sparkled. I haven't seen a bathing room ever since I was asleep... Aurora turned the water on, watching as clean water fell from the head of the shower. Soap and shampoo was set out neatly for them to use.
