Hello ladies and gentlemen! It's me your fffaaaavvvvvvouite author in the whole world, Storylady35 here. Now, I've got a brand spanking new tale for you! This one is brilliant, if I do say so myself. It's 100% amazingly perfect. And I did it all by myself. Yep, that's me, the solo act. The one the only and the brrrrrillliant StoryLady!

NOW, HOLD IT JUST ON MINUTE, STORY!

Tani? What're you doing here?

Come to knock you down off that pedestal of yours a little. What's all this about being a solo act? What about all that time I've been helping out?

Yeah, Alright... so you helped with a few spellings errors...

And Grammar...

*rolls eyes* Ok, and the grammar.

AND plot points!

Shush... Now, now no need to get excited.

EXCITED! THIS STORY IS BRILLANT! AND I WANT MY SHARE OF THE GLORY!

But...

Listen, if you want my help finishing this, you'll let me at least do the intro.

But...

*glares warningly* Story...

*hangs head, giving up* Alight, alright... *mumbles indistinctly*

*Smiles brightly* Right, so ladies and gentlemen; our names are Tani Hunter and Storylady35. Don't get me wrong, Story did do all the hard work, but I still played a vital role in bring this story to you. Isn't the right, Story?

I'm not saying. Now if you don't mind, I'm sulking here.

Humm… hey look, is that Sesshomaru?

Where?

Got ya!

Oh you little… *gives small smile*

Look, just tell everyone the plot and let's get on to the story!

I dunno. *looks unconvinced*

Aaw, c'mon, Story... please?

Hmmm...

Tell you what, why don't we do it together?

I could live with that.

Great, so…

Ok so the plot is based around the tale of Mulan.

You know the one- girl runs away for the sake of her father, pretends to be a boy in the army…

That's the one! Anyway, in this story, Rin is our Mulan and Sesshomaru is our General in charge. I think it really works well because there is a twist on the original Disney idea. :D

Oh, wait! Story, perhaps you should explain the rankings. Got me super confused.

Oh, yeah. Well the ranks go; Corporal Second Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, I got rid of Major and Lieutenant Colonel so it then goes to Colonel and finally General.

So there's no Brigadier, Major General or Lieutenant General? No Sergeant, Lieutenant Sergeant or Sergeant Major? No (goodness knows) how many other ranks you skipped...?

Nope. Make sense?

Sort of... Nope, not really...

Look; my story, my army, my rules. I've given people a heads up, what more you ask for?

That you stick to the rules and ranking order?

You're no fun. So anything else you think we need to tell the readers?

To sit back, relax and enjoy, of course!

That's it? *looks sceptical*

*Defensive* What? It's your story... Story! I'm just your lil' helper, remember?

Ok, ok... So, on with the story now!

Oh, and one more thing...

S and T together: Don't forget to review!
