Jay: **grins in her director chair as WuFei approaches**
WuFei: Please don't make me sing again! Please?!
Jay: I'm so sorry baby, but it's in the script **points at the song**
WuFei: **sighs** and if I refuse?
Jay: well... **leans over onto the table in front of her and pulls a small cloth off an Altron Custom model, completely painted in bright pink, with glitter**
WuFei: O.o``` **in high pitched frightened voice** I'll sing...
Jay: **smirks** I knew you would! **kisses his cheek**
WuFei: **walks onto the set wiping off the kiss** kuso! onna! I hate you...
Jay: And.... ACTION!

~Scene opens with Wulan opening the gate door to her home and walking in, her horse, Khan, right behind her~
Milliardo: **smiles over at WuFei**
WuFei: **turns his face away in shame and takes the horse to his stall**
Milliardo: **looks confused as Lucrezia walks up**
Lucrezia: **shakes her head and whispers** can we kill him...?
Milliardo: **holds back a smile and looks down** not until this is over...
Lucrezia: **whispers** damn...
WuFei: **walks over to a bush and releases Hilde from her cage onto a leaf, holding back the urge to stomp her and sings** Look at me... I will never pass for a perfect bride... or the perfect daughter....**stops singing** because I'm a MAN!
Jay: **clears her throat and points at the pink glittery gundam model**
WuFei: **sighs**
Hilde: **smirks**
WuFei: **glares at Hilde**
Hilde: **hops away quickly**
WuFei: **sings** can it be? I'm not meant to play this part? duh.... Now I see **jumps up on the side of a small bridge:: that if I wer-- **loses his balance and falls into the water**
Jay: **sigh** get him cleaned up.... we'll start again in the same spot.... **snickers a little**
~after about an hour and a half WuFei is on the bridge again~
Jay: It took 30 minutes to clean him up... and an hour to get him out here again to sing.... heh
WuFei: **hops on the edge again, more carefully** that if I were truly to be myself... **hops down** I would break my family's heart. not that I care! **walks along the water's edge and leans against a statue** Who is that girl I see? Staring straight, back at me. Why is my reflection someone I don't know? **starts walking up the steps** I hate this... hate this... HATE THIS!! Somehow I cannot hide **walks into the shrine** who I am **kneels** though I try... **bows and then looks up at his reflection in the stone thing** When will my reflection show... who I am... insiiiiiiiide **wipes off his makeup mumbling** damn high notes.... **clears throat** when will my reflection show... who I am... inside? **takes down his hair and stands up. then walks out of the shrine and sits under a cherry blossom tree on a bench** I'm going to shoot myself when this is over....no wait... shoot director... **smirks evilly**
Milliardo: **walks over and sits next to him**
WuFei: **looks away**
Milliardo: My my... what beautiful blossoms we have this year. **looks around then up at one that hasn't bloomed** but look... this one's late.
WuFei: **looks up at the blossom**
Milliardo: but I bet that when it blooms... **takes the hair piece and puts it in WuFei's hair** it will be the most beautiful of all...
WuFei: **smiles fakely and shudders:: it touched me....
Milliardo: **smiles back**
~drums are heard in the distance~
Milliardo: **smile fades and he stands**
WuFei: What now?
~scene changes to Chi Fu riding up on a horse with two men riding on horses behind him holding flags~
Dorothy: **stops on her horse in the town, in front of Milliardo's farm**
WuFei, Lucrezia, & Milliardo: **looking out through the opened gate**
Milliardo: **walks out**
Lucrezia: **turns to WuFei** stay inside.
WuFei: I don't take orders from you! Woman!
Howard: **grabs him** hey... do this right... **points over to a small fence he can stand on to see over**
WuFei: **sighs and walks over to the fence, climbs up onto it and watches**
Dorothy: I bring a proclamation from the Imperial City. The Huns have invaded China!
Everyone: **gasps**
WuFei: **rolls his eyes**
Dorothy: By order of the Emperor, one man from every family must serve in the Imperial army. **pulls out a scroll and opens it** The Shao family! The Yi family!
Old man Yi: **starts to take the scroll**
Son of Yi: **stops his father and takes the scroll** I will take my father's place.
Dorothy: The Fa family!
WuFei: **watching**
Jay: WUFEI!
WuFei: hn? oh. NO! **looks over at Milliardo**
Milliardo: **hands his cane to Lucrezia and walks limping out to receive the scroll. He bows when he reaches the soldier** I am ready to serve the Emperor. **holds out his hand to take the scroll**
WuFei: **runs out** Father! You can't go! **stands in front of Milliardo and the soldier handing out the scrolls. He then looks up at the soldier** Please sir, my father has already fou--
Dorothy: **rides up in front of WuFei** Silence!
WuFei: **glares**
Dorothy: You will do well to teach your daughter to hold her tongue in the presence of a man!
WuFei: Why you little--
Jay: Knock it off WuFei!
WuFei: **sighs and stays silent** stupid weaklings... think they can boss ME around...
Milliardo: Wulan, you dishonor me. **looks away**
WuFei: **stares** oh...dang **sarcastically**
Howard: **moves WuFei out of the way**
WuFei: **grumbles**
Dorothy: Report tomorrow at the Woo (Moo? I can't make it out) Shang (Shun?? ::sighs:: ) camp! **hands Milliardo the scroll**
Milliardo: **Takes it** Yes sir! **turns and starts walking back to the gate**
Dorothy: The Cho family!
Lucrezia: **holds out Milliardo's cane**
Milliardo: **walks past her and through the gate without it**
Lucrezia, Howard, & WuFei: **stop together and watch as Milliardo limps towards the house**
Dorothy: The Chang family!
WuFei: Huh?! **turns**
Jay: **smacks forehead** Not YOU!
WuFei: ... kisama onna...
~scene changes to Milliardo's hands opening a cabinet the holds his suit of armor~
WuFei: **watching and hiding with a small candle**
Milliardo: **pulls out his sword and does the Marine commercial thing with it then starts moving around doing some techniques until he gets a sharp pain in his shoulder and drops the sword and falls. He gets back up and leans against a column breathing heavily. He looks at the scroll in pain** (My Cousin is a Marine ^_^ Love ya Mike!)
WuFei: **leans against the wall looking worried:: he's going to die.... **kinda smirks then sighs**
~scene changes again to tea being poured at dinner~
WuFei: **pouring tea**
Milliardo: **takes his cup and sips the tea then sets it back down**

WuFei: **looks at Lucrezia and Milliardo**
Milliardo: **eating something**
Lucrezia: **drinking tea**
WuFei: **slams down his tea cup on the table and stands** You shouldn't have to go!
Lucrezia: **mouth drops open that he did his lines** Wulan?!
WuFei: There are plenty of young men to fight for China! like me...
Milliardo: It is an honor to protect my country and my family.
WuFei: so... you will die for honor!
Milliardo: **stands** I will die doing what's right.
WuFei: But if you--!
Milliardo: **cuts off Wu's sentence and gets in his face** I know my place! It is time you learn yours!
WuFei: **eyebrows slant in anger**
Jay: **glares at him** do it right....
WuFei: **turns and walks off. Comes back and tosses the tea pot on Milliardo then runs off again**
Milliardo: _```
Jay: **rubs her temples**
Milliardo: **sits back down**
WuFei: **runs outside and grabs onto a column** stupid weakling! **pretends to sob**
~scene changes once again to the stone dragon statue and Wulan sitting inside it as it storms~
WuFei: **looks over at his parents' window**
Milliardo: **puts his hand under Lucrezia's chin and lifts her head a little**
WuFei: **looks away for a minute then back**
Lucrezia: **hops on Milliardo as he blows out the candle**
WuFei: O.O````` .... and they tell ME to do my lines right!
Jay: uh oh....
WuFei: **gets up as dramatic music plays and walks into the dimly lit shrine. He lights a stick of incense, kneels to pray, then gets up and hurries out**
Hilde: **hops off the top of the stone and follows him**
WuFei: **walks into his parents' room and replaces the scroll with the hairpiece and walks out taking the scroll with him. He then takes Milliardo's sword and gets ready to cut his hair then looks at his hair in the reflection off the sword** short enough.... **ties his hair up as usual in that tight pony tail then goes and opens the cabinet with Milliardo's armor. He puts it on then goes to get Khan**
Khan: **sees the new more manly WuFei and rears up**
WuFei: **walks over and pets the horse whispering to him. He leads khan out of the barn, takes one last look at his house then mounts the horse and rides off**
~next scene is the big stone thing's dragon eyes glowing. It then cuts to Grandmother sitting up wide eyed in bed~
Howard: **hurries into Lucrezia and Milliardo's bed room** Wulan is gone!
Milliardo: **sits up** REALLY?! I mean... uhm... wha?!
Lucrezia: **holds back a giggle and looks worried**
Milliardo: **picks up the hairpiece on his night stand** It can't be... **gets up and goes to the room where his armor was kept and looks in the empty cabinet. He then runs outside limping then falls over into the mud** WULAN!! **he looks up and sees the gate doors blowing open and shut in the wind** no..
Lucrezia: **runs over to him and kneels** You must go after her! She could be killed!
Milliardo: the loss? If I reveal her... she will be... **takes Lucrezia's hand**
Lucrezia: **gasps**
Milliardo: **holds her to his chest**
Howard: **watches from a short distance** Ancestors... hear our prayer... watch over Wulan...
~scene changes to the inside of the shrine, a gust of wind blows out the tiny light inside. The writing on the biggest stone glows eerily and a blue mist flows out of it, forming a figure sitting atop it~
Doctor J: **looks up at the dragon incense burner** Mushu... awaken.
Incense Burner: **glows and smokes then Mushu appears and falls down with the dish shaped bottom of the burner, making a smoke trail**
Mushu: **stands up all stiff like Frankenstein** I LIIIIIVE! **looks around hyperly** So.. tell me what mortal needs my protection oh great ancestor! Just say the word and I'm there!
Dr. J: Mushu...
Mushu: **holds up his hand to hush Dr. J** and lemme just say somethin! Anyone foolish enough to threaten OUR family... VENGEANCE WILL BE MINE! **growling and trying to act all evil and mighty**
Dr. J: MUSHU!! **points with his cane at the stone gargoyle type things above him** These are the family guardians. They?
Mushu: ... uhhmmm.... **scratches his head**
Dr. J: DUO!
Mushu: **laughs** Protect the family...
Dr. J: ...and you.... oh demoted one... **points at the spot where Mushu used to stand**
Mushu: I... bring the party?
Dr. J: **sighs**
Mushu: **smirks** I ring the gong...
Dr. J: That's right... Now... wake up the ancestors...
Mushu: **sighs** one family reunion coming right up... **picks up the dish like thing that he stood on and picks up a tiny mallet and starts banging the dish like a gong** Ok People! Look alive! Wake Up! Rise and Shine! Your WAY Past the beauty thing... Trust me!
~The stones all glow and the blue mist flows from them forming people too~
Catherine (Ancestor #1): I knew it! That Wulan was a trouble maker!
Everyone: **have a "DUH" look on their faces**
Trowa (Ancestor #2): Don't look at me! She gets it from your side of the family!
Catherine: **stares at him strangely** uh...
Mariemaia (Ancestor #3): She's just trying to help her father.
Prof. G (Ancestor #4): But if she's discovered Fa Zu would be forever shamed, dishonor would come to the family, traditional values would disintegrate!
Treize (ancestor #5): Not to mention they'll lose the farm...
Cathy: My children never caused such trouble! They all become acupuncturists!
Trowa: Well we can't all be acupuncturists!
Doktor S (Ancestor #6): No! Your great grand daughter had to be a cross dresser!
Trowa: O.O`` when did I get a great grand daughter....?
~Everyone starts fighting after that~
Master O (ancestor #7): **floats over the fighting towards the guardian statues** Let a guardian bring her back!
Trowa: Yes! **grabs Duo and holds him up to a lion cat type statue** awaken the most cunning!
Prof. G: **grabs Duo from Trowa and holds him up to the bunny statue** No! The swiftest!
Instructor H (Ancestor #9): **takes Duo from G and holds him to the monkey statue** No! Send the wisest!
Dr. J: SILENCE!
H: **drops Duo and looks at Dr. J**
Dr. J: We must send the most powerful of all.
Duo: **laughs and climbs up to where he used to stand as a guardian** Ok ok, I get the idea. I'll go.
Everyone: **laughs**
Duo: What? You don't think I can do it?! Watch this here! **breaths a little fire** Jump back! I'm pretty hot huh? Don't make me hafta singe nobody to prove no point!
Dr. J: You had your chance to protect the Fa family.
S: Your misguidance led Fa Deng to disaster!
Fa Deng: **holding his own decapitated head in his lap** Yeah, thanks a lot...
Duo: **snorts** and your point is?
Dr. J: My point is! We'll be sending a REAL dragon to fetch Wulan!
Duo: WHAT?! I AM A REAL DRAGON! **grabs J's beard** sorta... heh
Dr. J: You are not worthy of this spot retard! **pulls Duo off the little shelf type thing** Now! Awaken the Great Stone Dragon! **throws Duo out the door**
Duo: **sticks his head back in the shrine** So you'll get back to me on the job thing?
Dr. J: **throws the little dish gong and it hits Duo in the face**
Duo: **looks a bit screwed up and falls backwards** he wasn't supposed to throw it THAT hard...
Dr. J: **rubs his temples** I hate him SO much!
Duo: **walking down the steps to the Stone Dragon** Just one more chance.... is that too much to ask? I mean.... It's not like it'll kill ya.... old man.... no wait that wasn't right.... REALLY old man....**walks up next to the statue and bangs the gong** Yo Rocky! Wake up! Ya gotta go fetch Wulan!
Statue: **no response**
Duo: **sighs & walks to the other side, throws down his gong** c'mon boy! **makes noises and pats his knees, then tosses the mallet** Go get it! Fetch the stick! **sighs when he again gets nothing from the statue** ... **climbs up to the statue's face with the gong then stands on it** Grrrr! GRR! **trying to look like the statue. After that he climbs up onto its head and walks over to the dragon's ear and starts yelling into it** HELLO?! HELLO?! **bangs the gong repeatedly onto the Dragon's ear while yelling**
Statue: **ear breaks off**
Duo: **grabs it and tries to hold it back on** O.o``` Uh oh....
Statue: **collapses under Duo**
Duo: This isn't going to feel good....
~a poof of smoke covers the scene and eventually thins out~
Duo: **looking at the shattered statue's head** uh... stoney... Stoney?? Aw man... the old guy is gonna kill me! **looks worried**
Dr. J: **looks out of the shrine window** Great Stone Dragon? Have you awakened?
Duo: **picks up the dragon's head and holds it in front of his** Uhm.. Yes! I have just woke up... and I am the great stone dragon! Good Morning! I will go forth and fetch Wulan! Uhm... did I mention that I was the great stone dragon?
Dr. J: Go! The fate of the Fa family rests in your claws...
Duo: Don't even worry about it! I will not lose faith! aAAaaAAahhHHhH **falls down the hill back to the pile of rubble, the dragon head squishing him** Ow! uh... I know I twisted something.... ow.... **stands and tosses the head off him** That's just great! Now what am I gonna do? And all because Miss Man had to take her little drag show on the road!
WuFei: **glares from off stage**
Duo: **waves at Wu**
Hilde: **hops up to Duo and talks in Cricket language**
Duo: Huh?
Hilde: **repeats**
Duo: **looks confused**
Jay: Did you read her lines on the script?
Duo: Was I supposed to...?
Jay: They were highlighted....
Duo: Oh... that's what that was! **laughs**
Jay: **sighs**
~Take a short break for Duo to memorize what Hilde is saying~
Jay: Action....
Duo: Go get her?! What's the matter with you?! After this great stone humpty dumpty... I'd have to bring her home with a medal and get back in the temple... **finally hits him** That's It! I make Wulan a war hero and they'll be begging me to come back to work! OH... you've done it now! **runs off**
Hilde: **follows him, chirping**
Duo: And what makes you think you're coming?
Hilde: **chirps**
Duo: **outside the gate but pokes his head back in** You're lucky? **laughs** Do I look like a sucker to you?
Hilde: **hops out the gate and chirps again**
Duo: What?! What do you mean a loser?! How bout I pop one of your antennae off and throw it across the yard? Then who's the loser me or you?!
Hilde: **chirps something again**
Both: **run off after WuFei**
Jay: END OF CHAPTER!

YAY! I finally got it! Oh yeah... uhm sorry about not changing much of Duo/Mushu's dialogue. I really like what Mushu says anyway... lol.
