Mulan came to the diner for lunch like she promised. Aurora and Mulan sat in a booth near the back, just the two of them talking. Aurora held onto Mulan's hands, but she noticed the discomfort she brought. Aurora looked down at her hands, seeing the red and bruised knuckles that showed clearly. "Mulan? Did you hurt yourself?" Aurora asks as her soft fingers gently brush against the bruised hands. Mulan smiles weakly, "I just accidentally... hit my hand with a door." Mulan looks at Aurora, she felt her guilt creep up on her. Mulan looked into her eyes, the soft blue eyes were so calming, Mulan didn't want to upset her, but she knew if it wasn't now, Shang will ruin everything. "I saw someone I knew, once, today..."
"Really?! Who?" Aurora asks smiling very curious. "It's not really a great thing, I thought it was but he..."
"He...?" Aurora didn't like where Mulan was heading with this, fearing the worst. "His name is Shang, and we used to fight in battles together...he was my leader, but he just left one day..." Mulan broke the stare with Aurora, she couldn't bear tell about the coward's actions. "And, he never came back. I never saw him again until now..." Mulan pulls her hands away, feeling the twisting of her stomach, she felt sick to her stomach. "That's it?" Aurora asks confused, she didn't really understand why it made Mulan uncomfortable, "Well, whatever happened, I'm glad you told me." Aurora smiles at her Warrior, who made everything more complicated, but secretly, Aurora liked that about her. Mulan looked up smiling.

Mulan sat in front of the TV with Jane, who was playing with a set of toy horses Aurora bought her a few days back. Mulan stared at Jane who was just mumbling to herself as she played. Mulan couldn't escape the haunting thought of what Shang said. How dare he... Mulan felt more rage than she could even bare. She began to look around the room feeling the walls close in and her chest tighten. She felt the whole world was falling upon her and she couldn't do anything. Thankfully, Aurora walked through the door saying hello to her girls who sat playing. Jane walked over excited to Aurora who picked her up right away telling her, "What a big girl you are Jane!" Mulan sat still for a minute before turning her head to greet her love. Aurora quickly noticed Mulan's mood hasn't lifted in the past few days also, she knew Mulan was waking up during the night and just frantically searched the room but always saying, "I'm fine." Aurora knew something was deeply troubling her Warrior.

One day Aurora, after Laying down Jane for her nap, she pulled Mulan to the center of the living room and sat with her on the floor. "Maybe we should meditate." Aurora strictly says instead of a question. Mulan sat relaxing her whole body like she used to do in the forest. After a few minutes of breathing, Mulan felt her whole body float in the air, then her mind went completely blank. Aurora noticed Mulan falling under a heavy trance. Mulan began to hear a familiar voice speak out What seems the trouble?
Shang has invaded my life

What will you do about it?

I don't know...

what do you feel toward him? Mulan thought what she felt. I feel...anger toward him. Immense anger and rage. I want justice Mushu...

Careful where you tread Mulan. Don't confuse Justice with Vengeance...

But, before anything else Mulan snapped out of her trance from the knocking of the door. Aurora was already halfway across the room to answer. They were both surprised to see Belle and Ruby standing at the doorway, smiling. "Hey girls!" Belle smiled waving toward them. Mulan got up to join Aurora's side. "Come in! Jane is just taking her nap." Aurora motioned for the girls to come inside. "I just needed to talk with Mulan really quick." Ruby gives Mulan a slight nod. Immediately Mulan stepped out telling Aurora and Belle to stay inside, it was just some sheriff duties. Ruby and Mulan walked outside to talk. "Did you tell her?"
"Yes."
"Everything?"
"Not everything..." Mulan felt her stomach twist again, she felt dizzy from the very thoughts of Shang. "Ruby, Shang...he is in love with me." Ruby was taken aback, she tried to say something but couldn't find the words. "And he said something else to me..." Mulan felt her pulses aching from all the stress and anger. Her shoulders began to tense, "He said Jane was his." Ruby's eyes widened, "I thought you said it was anonymous...?!"
"Obviously, the only Chinese man here would figure it out any day!" Mulan could help raising her voice. She hated this man. "But it's true..." Mulan's eyes became weary.
"No, it might be, but Jane is yours and Aurora's. And he has no right to say anything like that. You and Aurora are raising this baby."
"But she'll never really be mine...not if Shang is here." Mulan mumbled. She felt Ruby's gaze and just looked down at the ground. "What are you going to do...?" Ruby asks sympathetically Mulan shook her head, she didn't know but in the back of her mind, in the bottom of her heart; she knew what she was going to do.
