Farfetched crossover, but I think I could pull it off… kind of xD

None of the characters are mine, only the idea and the story.

A little three year old girl ran towards the entrance of the family's farm, where her mother and grandmother await. Not far behind her father follows, watching her as she runs, ready to catch her if she falls. As she gets closer, the girl stretches her hand to reach for her mother's, smiling Li takes her little hand in hers and walks towards the carriage that will take them all to the city.

The New Year ceremony at the Imperial City was Mulan's favorite celebration, so far at least. The carriage rode for hours until finally they arrived at the massive open doors that led to the city; Mulan got out of the carriage with anticipation, taking her father's hand urging him to join the crowd that waited for the festival to start. Her family chose to stay at the middle of the crowd, which wasn't enough of a view for her, so with effort she opened up the crowd as to get to the front of it, to watch the parade from the best view.

Finally she saw the beginning of the parade; the big colorful drums that announced the beginning of the celebration sounded reaching every nook of the big city. Her eyes drifted, from one of the acrobats to the colorful dragons and yet again to the musicians. "Happy 1912 my little" she heard her father tell her.

Far away from there, the prince of the Maldonian throne sat bored near his tower room's window waiting for his parents to return. He preferred to stay, than to have his parents and uncle nagging him for walking a little further than instructed.

A servant entered his room with a plate of freshly picked fruit, juice and a smaller plate with toast and jelly.

The boy didn't even move from his place, he stretched his hand and waited for the servant to hand him the food. Once he was finished, the plates were removed and he was led to his readied bath, once clean another servant dried and dressed him for the day. Then he was led back to his room, to play with the same toys he was handed to every day. Luckily for the prince, his servants, unlike his parents left him alone to play; his parents would have a heart attack had they known that their little 8 year old boy was about to get out from the palace again.

He ran towards his bed and reached for the clothes under his mattress, he had traded them, for one of his shinny toys, with a servant boy some time ago. He changed quickly, messing up his hair for a greater effect. He opened the door of the tower and smoothly ran down the hall towards the servants' quarters. "Hey kid" the young prince froze in place as a servant walked towards him, 'stop fooling around, take this to the kitchen' he said while giving him the dirty plates from his breakfast. He took the tray with his head down; he kept walking through the hall and down the stairs where the kitchen and service room where. He placed the plates on the sink, and then avoided the other personnel on his way to the exit, scared of being recognized.

It wasn't the first time he escaped through the back door to the musical nook of the kingdom; he loved to spend his evenings there because he could dance freely on the street along with the other kids from the place and learn how to play the guitar. Her mother had always told him that it was the worst part of the city, which he should stay away from because the people there were a bad influence on the citizens.

But he knew better, they had the secret to enjoying life and he wasn't about to pass on it. He finally sat on his favorite spot to watch the dancers follow the rhythm of the music his friend, and mentor, Antonio played.

If her mother was ever to find out, he was as good as dead.

N: I'm sorry Mulan timeline, Naveen's is way cooler.

Edit: A cool timeline for them to meet at least.
