Chapter 2

Italics are thoughts

Other POV

In the mean time Mulan and Shang were getting things for dinner. Finally Shang broke the silence between them, after a moment of not knowing what to say to her. "Mulan, are you betrothed yet? If you're not, I would like to ask your father for permission to court you." Shang blurted out.

Blushing, Mulan replied, "actually I'm not betrothed yet. I'm expecting that I have to see the matchmaker again?

"Again? What happen the first time? Replied Shang, sounding quite surprised. "What did you do?"

After taking a long breath, Mulan said "I failed the first time because I poured tea on that pig of a matchmaker because her fat ass caught on fire."

"Really? At least you were trying to help her. Hermmhahahahrrrrm." Replied a very amused Shang. "Have you gotten everything you need for dinner, Mulan?"

"Yes, I have everything I need for dinner. Shall we return home?" Said Mulan smiling and started heading home with Shang in tow.

My POV

I turned in the way the voices and footsteps were coming from. "It was Mulan, daughter of Fa Zhou, one of my dearest friends in the imperial army. The other was Shang, son of Li Chen, the other dear friend in the imperial army. Before I had to go back to my own time. In my heart I will always consider this time and place my home, ever since I spent so many years of my youth here."

They stopped at the sight of me. I was at the moment sitting with Fa Zhou, talking with a cup of tea. "Hello, good afternoon Mulan, Shang. Did you enjoy yourselves at the market?"

Other POV

Mulan and Shang stopped at the sight of a strange, yet familiar man sitting her father. Shang and Mulan bowed to him, "Good afternoon, sir. Yes we did enjoy ourselves at the market." Replied both Mulan and Shang.

Then Mulan moved off to the kitchen to help her mother with dinner. While Shang sat down at the table. "Sir, If I may ask, who are you? And why are you here?" Asked Shang.

"All will be answered later. What I can tell you now is that I was in the imperial army with your father and Fa Zhou, as general just like both of them are." He replied

With that answer, Shang was satisfied for the moment, "Now that's why he seems so familiar, he was in the imperial army with father. I guess every thing else will be answered later."

With that last thought, A wonderful smell of a home cooked meal filled the air came from the kitchen. And the 3 men waited for great meal to be served. At the same time Shang and Mulan kept wondering who the man was and why he was so familiar. As for the rest of the Fa family, they waited eagerly to hear about their friend's travel over the years.
