Author: I do not own Disney! Anything at all!
...
And I thought I was gonna get more scared, than the Amityvile films that I had watched back at high school...
Inside of a dressing cabin, Mulan frowned at the mirror, looking down at her jeans, like she didn't like them or more like they weren't made for her.
'Maybe grandma was right, I'm too skinny and I should eat more often, but I don't wanna to look like that fat and scary old lady that used to live next to my parents in the neighborhood!' she had thought back as she turned to the left, making sure her butt was okay with the jeans and lifted the center with her thumb.
Oh boy...
"I've got a loooong way to go..."she murmured to herself sighing in despair when the saler's voice was heard, behind the door and Mulan thought that she was about to have a panic attack, just like Goofy had stepped in the house, by surprise.
-Everyhting's alright in there? Miss?"
-Yeah! Yeah!"
-How's the size six? Does it fit?"
'I think, I'll need to fatten up a little bit, or I'll just get a belt to hold up...'she thought back as she unbontonned and unzipped the jeans in order to get out of it.
-Ma'am?"
-I'll take it..."
-What?"
-I said, I'll take them both, two of them!"she had said as she wored back her old jeans with the small holes on it, her mother would had forbid her to wear them, but since she was married, she felt more like herself than pretending to be someone else and Shang liked her in that way, being her own person.
-Do you want the shop's card? It's ten dollars only! We can also sent you e-mails about the next sales in a few months to come!"had replied the saler in a very cheerful way, that made her gulp.
-I'm not interested, but thanks for the offer!"she said as she was tying up her shoelaces and wored her black jacket that fit her red t-shirt, hoping the saler will just quit with his or her questions about becoming a member to this shop.
'And harass me up with e-mails every week? I don't think I can survive that!'she thought as she took the two jeans on her left arm, grabbing her purse with her right one. She made sure that everything intact was in there, that she didn't forgot a thing, before going out.
-I'll leave them to the cashier for you, ma'am?"had said the saler once Mulan opened up the door, not trying to look like she was about to throw up when she'd had seen how the saler looked like in person, behind that Goofy voice.
-Yes, that'll be nice! Thanks!"
'What about the belt at five bucks? You know your jeans are not going to hold up alone!' she tried very hard to not wince at that thought, Mulan just smiled as she waved her hand at the young saler that was known to be a young girl of her age, a blond one with a wavy long hair cut tied to a ponytail, must be one of the girls that once chased Gaston, at high school.
But her voice! Must be the drugs that made her sound like Goofy! Mulan shivered in fear at that.
-Anything else? Ma'am?"
-Nope!"
-Any desirous clothes? To buy?" Mulan's eyes widened in shock at the saler's offer.
-Pardon me?"
'She's never gonna leave me alone? isn't she?'
-I saw your wedding ring along with your engagement one, I was thinking if you were interested with some clothes that your husband might love to enjoy, we have them for special! Only thirty six dollars for two bras and ten dollars for two sexy panties ! Haha!"had explained the saler as she laughed at Mulan's red face of embarrassement.
'I wanna go hooooooome!'
-No thanks!"
-So that'll be everything?"
-Yeah..."she said as she handed the jeans into the saler's arms and followed her to the cashier, hoping to stay calm after she leaves the shop.
'Ah! To hell with it! I'll just need to hold my pants on my own!' she thought back as she received her bill with her change, grabbed her bag and left the shop, fast as she could.
...
As soon Mulan was done with her nightmare of shoping list, she'd stopped to a restaurent, having not eaten all day. The place was almost full, but there was enough places around here. An waitress gaved her a place, next to the window threwing her shoping bags to the comfortable red and soft bench.
-Once you're ready to order, ma'am, just give me a call, okay?"had said the girl, giving her the menu before leaving the table, not waiting for Mulan's answer. The chinese girl just sat next to her shoping bags, like an obidient girl should do.
-Oh well..."she whispered to herself, as she put her elbows on the table looking down at the menu, her stomatch was growling of hunger and needed something good to diggest in a few hours to come, she was kinda stuck between of having a cheeseburger with bacon and fries and a lasagna with that cesear salad.
'Argh! This is not helping at all!' she had thought aloud as she heard her stomatch growling more and more, such a headhache to bear!
Like any other day...
Dectective Li Mulan, recently got married to Li Shang, head officer of the WDS police departement, a month ago and she could considerate herself a lucky girl to be stuck with a guy like him, for the rest of her life. She thought that she was gonna end up alone after being called 'Disgrace' but at the end, everything turned up just fine for her.
'Disgrace girl? Naaaah!'
The old fat lady that she had mentioned earlier, used to criticized her that she wouldn't never bring honor to her family, in front her mother and grandmother, including the whole neighborhood. What a humiliation!
The reason? Throwing up the tea at that witch's face when she was running around her family's house, butt on fire. No kidding, true story...
But everything changed, when she entered the police academy, despite, her parents's disagreement, but that soon changed, when they had heard that she was seeing a certain someone...
And the rest was history...
'If I didn't went to the police academy, who knows what might have happened if we didn't bumped into each other...' she smiled as she made her choice.
'Let's go for that cheeseburger! Who cares about calories? Anyways?' as she was about to raise her head,to get the waitress's attention when her phone started to vibrate in her purse.
'Okay, just for a few minutes...' she dragged her purse to her knees and opened up to get that silent iphone of hers.
-Hello?"
-Mulan? Fa Mulan? Is that you on the phone?"asked a female voice that she somehow knew who it was, but it wasn't quite sure from whom, Mulan just answered, like nothing happened.
-It's Li Mulan now and may I ask, who is speaking on the line?"
-Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!"cheered up the voice on the line, Mulan raised up an eyebrow in confusion.
-Okay, who are you? Exactly?"
-Look up at your left!"had told the voice with such excitement, Mulan looked around the tables at her sight, looking for that person, until she spotted a red long haired girl with big blue eyes, wearing a purple top shirt, a color that fit her big purse,hanging up on her right shoulder, with some blue jeans along with her old nikes shoes.
That girl was waving at Mulan with a huge smile on her face as she closed her phone with her left hand. Mulan just stood there, confused and dropped her iphone on the table.
'Is that Ariel? Gosh, I hadn't seen her since...school?'
-Mulan!"rushed Ariel out from the line of people that was still standing as the chinese stepped out from her reverie and stood up from her seat as the red haired girl gave her a huge bear hug.
-I'm so so happy to see you again! Mulan! You have no idea how much I missed you!"
-Yeah, I've missed you too! Wow..."had breathed out the poor girl still crushed into the hug, hoping that Ariel might notice that she's killing her by suffocation. Gosh! How come Ariel had got so strong like that?
-Ariel?"she looked around, hoping that nobody would find them weird like that.
-Yes?"
-Do you mind...Um...I don't know...Let it go? I cannot breathe!"she tapped the girl's back gently. Realizing that fact, Ariel pulled away from her, whom Mulan was now, relieved to still be alive from that hug. The young woman appolegized for her excitement, shocked like she might have broken something important.
-Oh, I'm so so sorry! It's just I haven't seen you since...I mean it's been like forever!"
-Yeah, like almost ten years, since graduation..."
-You still remember that? I almost lost count..."had sat the girl before Mulan who just shrugged at that.
-Well...It's not so hard to not remember it, when the 'matchmaker' of your family insulted you in front of your family and the whole neighborhood!"had explained Mulan sitting back on her seat, to tease up a bit, even when her face wasn't about crack up into that joke. Ariel's excitement went away when she had heard that answer.
-So, that's why, the reason of why you didn't went to the graduation party at Aurora's place..."
-You mean, after the ceremony? Yeah, I had to go home because of that 'matchmaker' was already at my parents's place, so, you know the rest is history..."
-But still, that old brat can choke on her words now..."
-What do you mean?"
-You took your destiny on your own, without any help! You became a cop! You even married Li Shang! You should consider yourself lucky! No one could had done better than you!"had said the red haired haired girl back to Mulan who was blushing, feeling like a teenager girl, at Ariel's words.
-Been working as a reporter, no?"
-Well, I used to be the one who wrote that article on the WDS TIME newspaper, about when the police finally got that chance to arrest that Huns Gang thing...Thanks to you..."
-Yeah, that time, it took us, almost two years to catch them and Shan-Yu wasn't so easy to catch..."had said Mulan leaning her back at the back of her seat, making herself at ease, like at her home.
-You also got injured, the day before the arrest, no?" Mulan winced at that line, still feeling that healed scar on her left side, underneath her shirt.
-Yeah, that asshole had shot me, when I was trying to catch him and one of his guys, back then and Shang..."
-Felt terrible, no? He even had stayed by your side..."
-Well...You can say that too..."
Before they had started to date, she and Shang were in a tense relationship, they were competly opposites at each other, like which one was the best or like woman shouldn't have their place in the police departement, because it was too risky.
Well, Mulan proved him wrong.
As they worked on cases together, they became friends, at first, but when Shang had to work on another case with someone else, he had received a call from Chen-Po, that Mulan had got shot by Shan-Yu when she and Chen-Po, tried to catch Shan-Yu and his gang, leading them to a trap back at that warehouse, but failed. He just felt so terrible as he was starting to have some feelings for her. Thinking that she almost had died,because he wasn't there, made him think more about his partners and also, about Mulan, more than just a simple friend.
He had stayed by her side at the hospital, while the others officers finally had catched the drug dealers gang the next day and since that day, she and Shang were kinda glued to each other.
After a month, since their marriage, her husband got busy with other cases and mettings also. For a few days, Mulan kinda felt alone, at their appartement in WDS, but Shang had promised her, that once he's done with meetings with the other crew at the police departement, he'll call her back and spent the rest of the week together, even if it is at work or at home.
-Yup, that was sonething, but anyways, how are you doing?"had asked Mulan back to the red haired girl who just sighed at that.
-Well, compared to you, my life sucks, even if I had moved with Eric in a appartement, I could always feel my dad's assistant Sebastian watching over me by the window..."
-Is that so?" Mulan tried to not crack up in laughter at that sentence.
-Pretty much..."
After the graduation, Ariel went to university to study journalism, a job that their friend Belle always envied to do, but couldn't afford it. Her father was so happy, but when he had learned that the place was kinda outside from WDS, he had exploded in fury. His little girl was going out from town and he was kinda out of character, but Ariel had assured him that she was gonna be okay and that she would be careful,since she'll be living with a couple friends. The only thing she didn't tell him was that there would maybe be a couple of guys, sharing the appartement with her.
Eric, of course...!
After a few years, she got herself a job with Pete, as a boss and she often hated him so, just to hear him yell and running around her back, had drove her nuts, but that was the price of being independant after all.
-Ouch..."had winced Mulan as Ariel followed with her story:
-Anyways, except Pete, my boss, who always had managed to make my day go worse at work, I'd say that Sebastian is ten times more worse than him..."had explained Ariel, putting her elbow on the table as her cheek propped her palm, annoyed.
-But, that's not the worse thing, you know?"
-Because there's more of it?"had asked the black long haired girl back, stunned at that line.
-He caught us, when we were...You know, in action..."
-Ohhh, that's spicy..."
-Oh, you can laugh about it, but it was not funny! At all! Never in my entire life, I felt so humuliated, so was Eric, at that day, of course.."
-And Sebastian into this?"
-Shouted like a girl, we were so scared that he would had a heart attack, by catching us doing what you think a man and a woman should do when they are lying next to each other on a bed and alone...Hey! Don't laugh at me!"had said Ariel, growing more redder as her hair, Mulan laughed holding up her sides as much as it pained.
-Oh boy...Hahaha..."
-Mulan..."
-Okay, okay, no more laughing! I get it!"she reajusted herself, trying to stop her laughing, but she could not help the muscles of her smile to not act.
-Anyways, besides that, I wanted to tell you something unplanned..."
-Like?"
-School Reunion..."had said Ariel as the chinese woman's happy smile faded away and got intrigued by it. She hoped that the red haired girl wasn't so serious about it, but she was.
-School Reunion? Seriously?"
-Oh yeah..."
-I'm not even eighty yet!" Ariel shook her head at that joke:
-Mulan! This is not a joke! You and I got invited to this reunion thing, along with a couple others persons..."
-We got invited? By whom?"
-That old freak Frollo and his new wife, Gothel.."
Frollo was their history teacher at school, the most sexist and rascist teacher ever had mentioned Esmeralda back then, the kids at school had find him creepy, just to look at his face and you'll know why. Rumors of pedophilia were circuling around classes and all of sudden, he gets married to a woman? Something isn't right at all.
-Gothel? Never heard of her, she must be new so..."
-I guess so, I've reached the others to tell them, that they might had received a letter from them..A weirdo house coming from the Amityvile saga..."had explained Ariel crossing up her arms against her chest, Mulan had got this feeling of being spooked, or she wished that she had gotten spooked by Ariel, wishing that this high school reunion wasn't real. Anyways, she stayed calm and promised herself to invastigate on Frollo's sudden marriage with that Gothel.
-How come I didn't received an invitation so?" This time it was Ariel's turn to smile at that answer;
-I know you Mulan, you almost never check your e-mails, or even your mail and from what I've known about Frollo, he must had sent the letters earlier at dawn, while you were allsleep, you know, how old fashioned he is..."
-And Shang?"
-I guess, he's busy at work, no?"
-When and where is the event?"had sighed Mulan, trying to change the subject, Ariel peeked at the menu down on the table, feeling the hunger coming up.
-Tonight, you should see that house at the woods, Arendelle, to be sure, it's outside from town, but it's not all of it, I've heard this place is kinda frozen..."
-Frozen? What do you mean by that?"asked Mulan as Ariel scowled at the answer that she was about to give, looking up at her friend;
-Like summer hadn't never been there before..."
