Disney The Ghost Of You

The Slipping Truth

Mulan sighed as she jumped off the bus, she had taken the funeral better than she thought she would. Though she still couldn't stand the fact that her own boyfriend was dead. Taking a deep breath she entered the campus but when she passed the enterance she stopped in her tracks as she saw a police car in front of her and from what she could see the girl in the back looked like Meg.

No it can't be Meg why would the police be after her? Mulan wondered as she stared at the car but before she could of gotten anywhere near it had already started to drive away, Mulan shrugged as it passed the driveway, I guess I'll hear about it sometime today usually when something like this happens no one can shut up about it.

As soon as Mulan entered the building she was greeted by Rapunzel and Ariel who both had sad puppy looks on them. "Hi Mulan are you okay?" Rapunzel asked, "yeah I'm fine. . . I just said goodbye to Shang that was all," Mulan sighed as the memory of the funeral played in her mind. "We feel really sorry for you, if there's anything we can do to help-" Ariel said til Mulan cutted her off "there's nothing you can do, it's my problem okay?"

Ariel and Rapunzel both stared at her afraid as though she had just yelled at them, "okay we just wanted you to know that we're here for you. . . if you wanna talk," Ariel tried again while Rapunzel fell silent with nervs. "Honestly girls I'm fine, don't worry" Mulan waved them off as she tried hard to keep her temper down, she never liked to show it in front of people as showing tears was a sign of weakness. Ariel and Rapunzel still stared as they watched Mulan enter the female restroom, "oh no we forgot to tell her about Meg!" Rapunzel exclaimed she was about to run after Mulan when she felt Flyn grab her arm, "it's better she finds out for herself" he told her.

"Hey Mulan. . . so have you heard about Meg?" Vanessa smirked at her "what about her?" Mulan asked as she soaked her hands under the tap, "oh you don't know? well it was just an hour ago when she had gotten arressted" Vannessa said. "Arrested what do you mean?" Mulan exclaimed as her black eyes widened, she wasn't sure if what Vannessa was saying was the truth or was just having a go at her since she was known to be a real bitch.

"Oh that's right you were still at the funeral. . . well the police had taken Meg out of class that's when they arrested her for murder, in simpler terms she was the one who killed Shang," Vannessa half lied even though it was her who shot Shang, the police really did arrest Meg.

"Your lying," Mulan glared at her as she felt herself quickly boil with anger, "I should of known you wouldn't believe me, but if you think about it, hasn't Meg being like. . . Oh I don't know, weird and didn't Shang say that she was the one who stabbed him eariler on?" Vannessa asked. "How do you know about that?" Esmeralda asked as she walked out of the toliet cubical at the same time as Pocahontas, "oh please how clueless can you get? everyone's been talking about it" Vannessa said. "They really did arrest her this morning, Hercules is still trying to defend her even though it's hopless, many people are sure that they had seen Meg at the time of the murder," Pocahontas said, "you know what enough with this I'm going to the station and talk to Meg and get the truth out of her!" Esmeralda snapped as she stormed out of the bathroom.

"If so many people are sure why didn't they say anything eariler?" Mulan asked, "they were too scared before being the weaklings they are," Vannessa said "like your the one to talk" Pocahontas glared at the goth girl. "Aren't we grumpy today. . . well later girls," Vannessa shrugged then exited herself, "Pocahontas" Mulan said nervously, "don't take any notice of her she's just trying to cause cha-" Pocahontas' voice trailed off when she heard the door slam and when she looked around Mulan was gone.

"Oh Mulan," Pocahontas sighed I hope Vannessa's happy, she thought bitterly she knew that she had only told Mulan about Meg just to be spiteful as usual Pocahontas stared at herself in the mirror, had never felt so stressed in her whole life because when Mulan gets hurt so does she.

"Meg! Meg where are you? Meg!" Mulan yelled as she ran down the corridors she was too frightened to notice the funny looks she was getting by the other students, "Mulan!" Phoebus and John ran after her "Meg!" Mulan kept yelling she hoped more than anything that her friend would come running back towards her but she was nowhere in sight. "Mulan listen to me, Meg's not who we thought she was" Phoebus tried to tell her as he and John both jumped in front of her. "She couldn't Meg's not like that!" Mulan yelled back at him. "Mulan please listen to us, I know it's hard to believe but Meg really did retray us by killing Shang" John tried he knew that Mulan would be confused just like Hercules. Mulan sighed as she stared down at the floor, but how could she shoot she doesn't even own a gun? at least I don't think she does. . . . Mulan thought. "We'll give you some time to think it through but remember we're always around the corner when you need help," Phoebus said then turned away along with John, Mulan didn't take any notice of them she was still trying to sink in the idea that Meg, her closest friend, Meg betray her.

Ancestors please tell me this isn't true, Mulan prayed ah what's the bloody use! they can't to anything! she thought to herself angrily as she stormed down the corridor she tried real hard to keep the tears in as she knew that everyone was staring at her. Once she had gotten to the end of the corridor, there was the abandoned classroom, wanting time on her own she entered the empty room and sat at the far corner where she pulled at her hair in frustration nothing at all was going right for her and something told her that it was only going to get worse.

"Mulan don't do that," at that moment Mulan froze she could recgonise that voice from anywhere, now way it can't be, slowly Mulan looked up and much to her suprise right in front of her was Shang. Though he was glowing a bright pale blue colour and was almost see through right in front of her was the ghost of Shang.

Mulan's black eyes widened, they were almost as large as Rapunzel's eyes, "Mulan it's me don't be scared" Shang whispered "I know it's you but. . . how I. . . ghosts aren't real!" Mulan exclaimed in fright. "You'll be suprised by the way this isn't a dream" Shang told her. "I can't believe this. . . wait a minute Shang, do you remember what happened when you died?" Mulan asked after all he is the only one who knows the actual truth on the murder since he was the one who was murdered!

"I don't know who it was, at first I thought it was Meg then-" Shang sighed as he tried to remember everything that happened the night of his death, "then what? please Shang everyone thinks it's Meg who killed you! I can't stand her getting done for a crime she didn't comit!" Mulan cried. "I know Mulan. . . but I'm not even sure myself who it was because just before the gun went off it changed into you!" Shang cried back at her. "Eh? then why did you come here!" Mulan yelled she thought he was going to help her save Meg, there was a long moment of silence between them, "Shang I didn't mean it like that" Mulan sighed seeing his face again brightened her up. "I know you didn't, I came to stop you from hurting yourself non of this is your fault" Shang whispered again, "why are you whispering?" Mulan asked "I'm not supposed to be here, I can't stay long I'll try and come over some other time" Shang replied "huh what do you mean your- what am I supposed to do about Meg? Shang don't leave me now!" Mulan cried as tears refilled her eyes as he faded away. "Damn it!" Mulan shouted as she threw over a nearby chair and bursted into tears, she couldn't understand anything that happened why can't Shang tell who it was? how am I going to save Meg? how do I even know if these rumours are true!

"Mulan are you in here?"

Damn why can't people leave me alone! Mulan thought furiously she turned around to see Pocahontas at the doorway, "what are you doing in here? you know it's not safe" Pocahontas said "how is it not safe? this is where we were frickin questioned the morning after Shang's death!" Mulan snapped. "This isn't the room Mulan, this is abandoned room 2 the board have been meaning to get this fixed but never got round to it yet, please Mulan come out before you get hurt" Pocahontas told her. Mulan froze as she stared at the spot where Shang's ghost once stood, "I saw Shang" she said "what? you can tell me out here just get out of there!" Pocahontas tried again keeping her eyes on the ceiling as she could see the large lights already starting to break off.

"He doesn't even know who killed him, how are we going to save Meg now?" Mulan sighed "we'll figure out something Mulan just get out of there! them lights are going to come crashing down any second" Pocahontas panicked but her friend wasn't listening as she was too lost in her confusion.

"Mulan!" Pocahontas pushed Mulan towards the far window at the wall as the lights came crashing down, "Poca-" Mulan's voice trailed off as she turned around to see her childhood best friend flat on the ground with shards of glass around her. "Pocahontas!" Mulan cried as she jumped from the window to her friend's side, no no! oh great ancestors please no! she froze in fright she had already lost her love, losing her friend and now she could of lost her best ever friend. "Ah. . . am I bleeding?" Pocahontas asked as she shakily tried to bring herself up. "Y- yeah. . . I'm so sorry!" Mulan cried, "I'm okay Mulan. . . just shaken" Pocahontas replied, "you get to class I'll clean myself up" how can she be so calm? she could of died because of me Mulan thought completely confused she exepted Pocahontas to go mad.

"B- but I- I nearly k- killed you," Mulan stuttered as she backed away feeling awful, "no you didn't. . . you were creeped out by what Vannessa said to you, it's okay honestly I'm fine I'll meet you in the canteen after class" Pocahontas smiled weakly. The one reason why Mulan and all the others loved her because she was always forgiving she would never hold a grudge against anyone, well maybe exept from Professor Radcliff but he was different as he contanstly calls her 'savage.'

"Okay" Mulan sighed then walked out of the room slowly followed by Pocahontas, "don't worry I'll only have to wash myself in the restroom," she told her again just before they parted ways, Mulan watched as she rushed into the restroom. Mulan tried to shake herself out of it but all it did was bring back the memory of seeing Shang's ghost, so he only came to stop me from hurting myself? What did he mean when he said he wasn't supposed to be here? will I ever see him again? these questions all whirled around her as she walked towards Professor Clogsworth's class.

Meanwhile, in the other side of the city, Hercules and Esmeralda were in the police station trying to find out what the hell was going on with Meg, "what evidence? and no one could of seen her enter the apartment because everyone in that block would of been asleep!" Hercules yelled. "Mr Athel raising your voice isn't going to help matters" officer Fiona told him in a calmed voice even though she was on the verge of raising her voice herself as she's had this for at least an hour. "Officer is there any way we can see Megara? I need to talk to her" Esmeralda asked in a calmed tone unlike Hercules, "I'm sorry but miss Nutchel is not allowed vistors til futher notice as she'll be due in court next week" officer Fiona explained for the third time. "Eh that's not fair! Meg wasn't even the murder she was with me when the gun went off!" Hercules yelled "please leave now or I'll have to call for you to be moved" officer Fiona warned them at this point Esmeralda knew she had to give up. She wanted so much to talk to Meg, she was so confused though she could tell from the strange behaviour that Meg definitely had something to do with it. What she couldn't understand was why Meg would she have done it? what would of made her want to betray their trust?

"Come on Hercules," Esmeralda said as she hugged her crushed friend, without saying another word the two walked out of the station keeping in their frustration til they got back to the campus.

As time moved on to lunch, everyone was still talking about Shang's death and Meg's arrest, their was only five of the remaining gang at the far table of the canteen, Esmeralda and Hercules had just returned from the station at this time.

"What happened Pocahontas?" John gasped when he saw bits of leaking blood from the back of his girlfriend's head, "I had an accident and before you ask I'm fine" Pocahontas . "What accident? how did it happen? Pocahontas tell me I don't want you to be shot next!" John begged it would of been the end of his world if he lost Pocahontas. "It's not like Shang, there was no one there besides Mulan when it happened," Pocahontas told him "by the way where is she?" Esmeralda asked. "Probably still freaking out over Meg's arrest. . . I'm disapointed in Meg, she knew as much as us how much Shang meant to Mulan" Phoebus said as he lifted his chicken sandwich this was one of those days where he was too stressed to eat much. "Here she comes," John said as he spotted Mulan walking towards them, "hey guys" Mulan said in a down tone as she sat down next to Pocahontas.

"How did Pocahontas get hurt?" John asked, "John it was an accident" Pocahontas tried to tell him but he didn't listen he kept glaring at Mulan. Guess this whole thing with Shang and Meg has made him paranoid, Esmeralda thought "Pocahontas talked to me in abbandoned room two after I saw Shang's ghost. . . I don't know how-" Mulan started to explain till she got cut off by Phoebus. "Ghosts aren't real Mulan, you must of been imagining it."

"I wasn't! he was really there and he talked to me. . . I tried to ask who it was who shot him but he doesn't know, he said he thought it was Meg at first but then just before the gun went off it changed into me" Mulan told him. "But that doesn't make any sense!" Hercules snapped as he felt a headace start to come on, "I know but that's what he said" Mulan sighed. "Your losing it Mulan," John muttered, "what do you mean losing it?" Pocahontas asked as she stared straight at her boyfriend "I mean she must be starting to go mad if she's seeing ghosts" John replied. "Why do I even bother?" Mulan muttered then stormed off, "that went well" Phoebus muttered sarcasticly "even if Mulan had gone mad she's still our friend!" Esmeralda snapped then stormed off along with Pocahontas.
