Hi everyone thanks for the reviews I am still having trouble with the typing because my laptops keyboard pieces sometimes don't work but I will try my hardest to make this story happen. Does anyone know when Mulan or The little Mermaid takes place cause I'm still having trouble with the time setting. Or what Melody last name should be. Because in each movie it never tells us what Erics last name. Please comment after reading this.

Chapter 2

Melody felt like she was in a swirl pool tumbling into a deep void. The only thing she could do was held on to the trident. Her half human, half fish body kept tumbling down.

Will this end already. Melody begged in her head. She didn't know how to control the trident. But all she wanted was for it to stop.

Suddenly she felt like someone had just pulled her out. She felted dry air but kept her eyes shut. She was falling strait down and felt dirt as she landed hard.

She took a minute to get her strength back. She put trident down to her side. She felt like she just took a long nap inside a big thunderstorm storm. She then opened her eyes. She was on solid land but in a forest. She was surround by weird thin green looking trees, bushes, and a few big rocks in broad daylight.

A small gush of wind blew by her and she shivered. She realised she was fully human. Instead of her red tail she had her feet. Her clothes were soaking wet and she felt really cold with only her white pantalettes and white camisole on.

"Hello." She said to anyone. She wanted to yell but after wait she went through she didn't have the strength. She wondered where she was and what was going on.

She could hear birds chirping from above. She got up holding the trident in one hand. She started walking to a small path.

Where am I? She thought as she kept walking. Her feet kept got dirty and kept stepping on small stones that hurt. She only felt scared and alone.

She suddenly heard a voice very distance but not to far and started to walk towards it. Pushing past tree branches and held the trident in one as she kept waling towards it. She finally found where the source was coming from. In the short distance she could see a man in a strange uniform with a sword and a big black horse with a white muzzle laying on a rock. The horse was chewing on a piece of grass. She hid behind some trees and watched them. She was to scare to talk to them but didn't want to be alone.

"Okay. Okay, how about this," the man said. He was Chinese looked around sixteen, but seemed very different for some reason. He had his black hair tied up in a bun, "Excuse me, where do I sign in? Ah, I see you have a sword."

His voice was deep low and he looked like he was trying to act like he was a boy. "I have one, too. They're very manly, and strong." He fumbled trying to get his sword out and it fell to the ground. The horse laughed and fell on his backside. Melody could see it was intelligent like some of the other animal friends she knew.

The man threw his shoe at the horse. The horse stopped laughing as the man went over and said, "I'm working on it!" He put his shoe back on.

He voice was different this time and sound lighter. "Oh, who am I fooling?" He walked over to a clearing pushed some tree branches away and said, "It'd take a miracle to join the army."

Melody gasped and released the man wasn't a man but a woman. She could tell by the way she talked. She was about to ask her where she was when all of a sudden a loud voice followed by fire and smoke coming from three boulders.

"Did I hear someone ask for a miracle!"? She saw a long shadowed that looked like a dragon rise and said, "Lemme hear ya say, 'Aaah!"

The girl screamed, "Aughhh!"

She and the horse hid behind the other big rock. Melody felt like screaming but covered her mouth. The big shadow then said,

"That's closed enough!"

She saw the two peek out and she then said, "A Ghost!"

Melody could barely hear her and moved closer hiding behind more trees. She found a good spot just close enough to hear the ghost say.

"Get ready, Mulan, your serpentine salvation is at hand, for I have been sent by you ancestor to guide you through your masquerade!" A small cricket like shadow appeared. The big ghost like shadow kicks it down.

It disappeared for a moment Melody quickly thought what is that?

It reappeared and said, "So head my words, cause if the army finds out you're a girl, the penalty is death." Sounding more ferocious and looking more scarier with the bigger flames. Melody could feel the hairs on her arms stand on their ends.

The girl whose name was obviously Mulan said, "Who are you?"

She slowly started to get up along with her horse. Both looking very scared.

"Who am I? WHO am I? I am the guardian of souls!" It bellowed as the shadow shrunk down. "I am the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Mushu." Out of the rocks appeared a small red dragon like lizard appeared.

Mulan smiled was replaced with a confused sad look. Even Melody was unimpressed by its small size.

"Ah, I'm pretty hot, huh?" Mushu said. The horse went over and stopped on it repeatedly. Mulan quickly pushed him away and looked at the squished lizard. He looked like road kill Melody had seen sometime on the streets.

Mulan bend down and picked up the lizard. She then dropped it while saying, "My ancestors sent a little lizard to protect me?"

She poked it again as Mushu picked himself up and swatted the hand away.

"Hey, dragon, dragon, not lizard. I don't do that tongue-thing." Mushu said while he did stick out his forked tongue and hissed.

Mulan said, "You're…um…"

Melody probably guessed she was lost for words at Mushu size and appearance. Mushu climbed up on of the small trees and said,

"Intimidating? All Inspiring?"

Mulan looked disappointed said, "Tiny." Putting two fingers up to represent the tiny. Melody could feel the disappointment because that's how she felt when Tip and Dash left her.

"Of course!" Mushu said while climbing to the other tree, "I am travel-size, for your convenience. If I was my real size, I your cow here would die of fright." While patting the horse nose, the horse tried to eat Mushu hand and made a mean face as it was offended. "DOWN Bessy."

Mushu the slithered onto Mulans armor and continued, "My powers are beyond your mortal imagination." Mulan kept trying to make eye contact because Mushu kept moving around before landing on a tree and said, "For instance, my eyes can see straight through your armor."

Mulan took notice of this and covered her chest with one hand while slapping Mushu off the branch and onto the ground. All that came out of from Melody was "Eww."

Mushu landed on the ground next to a cricket. The cricket pushed him up. He then said, "Alright! Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family!" While clutching his nose he pointed at the cricket and said, "Make a note of this Dishonor on you, dishonor on you cow, dis-"

Mulan kneeled down quickly, grabbed his mouth to stop him, and said, "Stop! I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I'm just nervous. I've never done this before." Melody wondered why she was going into the army anyway.

Mushu then said, "Then you're going to have to trust me. And don't you slap me no more. You clear on that?" Mulan nodded. "Alright. Okey-Dokey! Let's get this show on the road!"

"Cri-Kee, get the bags." Mushu said to the cricket. "Let's move it, Heifer."

Melody hadn't decided whether to follow them or not because she was curious. She didn't know whether if she stepped back or forward but suddenly she snapped a twig. Mulan glanced back in her direction and said, "What was that?"

Melody duck back into the bush of the forest hiding behind the strange trees. Hiding the trident behind her and trying to keep quiet. She had no idea what to do. She still felt scared and alone.

She heard footsteps approaching and then heard Mushu say, "Okay, Okay, everybody relax I'll check it out."

Her grip on the trident grew stronger as she heard tiny footsteps get louder. Her heartbeat thumped quickly as she kept quiet.

She then heard Mushu voice right next to her ear, "And who might you be?"

She turned and saw him perched on her shoulder smiling. She screamed throwing Mushu off her shoulder and onto the path. She stumbled back with the Trident out of her grip and disappeared into the bushes. She tried to catch herself but only ended up falling onto the path right in front of Mulan and her horse.

Melody just lay there on the ground looking wet, cold, and very scared. Mulan looked startled and then said, "Hey there…." But she stopped herself. Made her body stood strait up like a man and said, "I'm mean, Hey their wait are you doing here."

Her voice sounded deeper and rough. She was trying to sound more like a man. She held out her hand. Melody took it and said, "I know you're a girl I heard everything."

Mulan looked a bit shocked but calmed down and said, "What exactly are you doing out here?"

Mulan took a moment to look at her outfit and said, "Why are you dress like that?"

Melody took a moment at her self and sigh. Her wet outfit had mixed with the dirt had made her look filthy and wet. She really wanted a new pair of clothes.

"My names Melody and I ran away from home because my Mom kept secrets from me. Big Secrets!" She said with bitterness in her voice. "I forget to pack."

The horse kneed like it was confused and Mulan said, "Oh that sounds sad." She went over to her pack took out a small black blanket. "Here you can borrow this."

She took the blanket and wrapped it around her body. She shivered as Mulan explained her story.

"My father was requested to join the army but is too weak so I decided to take his place." Mulan said.

"Why are you dressed as a man anyway?" Melody asked as she clutched the blanket around her. The horse had walked up to her and gentle nuzzled her. She patted his nose as Mulan said,

"The army doesn't allow woman to join, so I stole my fathers army and his army requested note."

"Which army are you joining?" Melody asked as she started to warm up.

Mulan gave her a strange look and said, "The Chinese's army."

Melody gasped and realized that she was in china. She had learned all about china in school. The strange trees were baboon trees. She remembered her inner though had been to be 1000 miles away from Morgana and her Mother. She also remembered what she said on how she wanted a person to trust.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Mushu saying, "Ah-hem Ladies,"

Both the girls looked down at the little dragon. "The army is waiting for us Mulan and we don't have all day."

Mulan realized that and said, "He right, I better go sign in."

She turned leaving Melody all alone. But before she did she turned back and said, "I be back later to check up on you and food."

Melody felt the hurt and loneliness return and Mulan could see it. So she walked up to her put her hand on her shoulder and said, "It's going to be ok Melody."

"You can trust me!"

Melody felt shivers enter her body and looked up at Mulan and said, "Ok."

Mulan turn took her horse and Mushu and when down to join the army.

Melody watched from her view and hoped this would work out.
