This is my second story so please be nice. Make sure you read and review.

Disclaimer: I do not own Mulan of any of its characters.

One year before the war.

Li Shang and his father General Li were invited to stay at his friend, the Great Fa Zhou's home. He was getting ready to go to dinner. He had heard from many people that Fa Zhou has a daughter around his age named Fa Mulan, who he heard was unique and loved by her father dearly. He really hoped that she wasn't like all the other girls he had met, and is only interested in his status and looks.

They finally arrived at the Fa household, as they got off their horses they were greeted by an older woman, who he guessed to be Grandma Fa. They went up to the gate and Fa Zhou and Fa Li greeted him. He was wondering where Fa Mulan was.

He finally saw Fa Mulan, and he was speechless, she was one of the most beautiful women he has ever laid his eyes on. It looked like she didn't have any make up on like the other girls did, and she didn't need any. She was just naturally beautiful. He really hoped that he could get to know her better. Maybe a walk through the gardens would be a good idea.

He decided that he would start to talk to her, so he did. She has the sweetest voice he has ever heard. He asked her what she likes to do in her free time, how old she is. She told him that she likes to take nice walks in her free time and that she was eighteen years old, only two years younger then his not bad. Wait what was he thinking, he just met her and is already thinking about her.

Sorry for the really short chapter. Please read and review!
