It's a what?!?!
*~*~*~*
I won't say it again, you know the drill. Corny title neh?? But it suits this chapter.
*~*~*~*
Pei was sitting alone in her room that night. She sat on her bed, and was reading a scroll on Buddhism to pass the time. She was all alone in the house. Her entire family was visiting the birthday bash of an old friend, and since she was grounded, she was forced to stay at home. She didn't mind, it would only give her more time to study her mysterious find.
After reading about Buddha's death through poison at 80, she put it down and rummaged her closet for her backpack. She found it seconds later, and took out the egg. She ran to her bed, jumped on it, and studied her egg carefully.
A minute later, Mushu came up on her bed, still looking bummed. " What's wrong Mushy??" Pei asked as she turned to her best friend. Mushu sighed, and looked down: " That dragon gal, I'm thinking I'm losing my touch, maybe, I've already reached senility. I think- Whoah!!!!!!" he yelped and jumped back and fell off the bed at the sight of the big egg.
He quickly scooted back up and stared at the egg. " Where'd you get this?!?!" he demanded as he inched closer to the egg. Pei smiled. " Found it in a fish." Mushu instantly copied Pei's face when she first saw it covered in..stuff. " Gross!!!" he squealed. Pei giggled. " I know." She remarked turning her attention back to her find. " What's amazing was that despite it being in fish gut, it remained brand new." She said as she turned the egg over and over again. Mushu promptly nodded.
" You sure it ain't yours??" Mushu asked suddenly as he winked and nudged Pei. Pei was surprised at first, then she threw a glare at Mushu who was grinning evilly. " I won't indulge in 'that' until I am 19." She hissed. Mushu chuckled. " Just foolin' girl." He replied.
He then looked at his sundial watch, which was only useful because of the candle, and quipped. " 9:00!!! Lights out girly girl." He then climbed to the table with the candle, and blew it out. Pei yawned sleepily, and she covered herself with her blanket, she placed the egg at her side. " Night Mushy." She muttered sleepily. Mushu yawned too, and curled up beside Pei and the egg.
While they slept, Mushu was accidentally breathing small flames on the egg. Surprisingly, nothing happened to it. Except... a tiny heart began to beat as he breathed his flames.
*~*~ Next day, Pei's room*~*~
Pei opened her eyes sleepily, and yawned loudly. She had a wonderful dream. She was a princess under the captive of the evil sorceror, Ray. And Yueh was her valiant and spunky prince. She smiled at the thought of it actually happening. When she sat upright in her bed, rubbing her eyes, she screamed. Her egg had been smashed to pieces!!!
Almost like magic, Mulan and Shang were at her door, panting and gasping for breath. " What's wrong Pei???" Shang asked as he held his fists up high. Pei thought quickly for a good answer. " Uh..mouse??" she muttered smiling innocently. Mulan breathed a sigh of relief, thankful nothing happened to her daughter, Shang sighed. They both retreated back to their room.
Pei removed her smile and replaced it with worry the moment they were out of sight. She stood up and could only stare at the remains of her egg. Mushu yawned as he began to stir. " What's the problem??" he mumbled. Pei sighed and pointed weakly at the egg remains. Mushu jumped to his feet and exclaimed: " What happened?!?!"
Pei shrugged. " I woke up, I found it like this." She said as she got out of bed. " This is like so creepy." She added, circling the egg's leftovers. Mushu agreed. " Yeah, creepy." He muttered shivering.
Suddenly, as they talked, a loud crash was heard from Pei's closet. They both froze, stared at each other, then at the closet. They heard another crash, softer this time. " Man, that's some big mice you got there girl." Mushu said as he climbed up Pei's arm and hid behind her head. " Big mice." He added. " That big rat must've smashed the egg and ate it's contents." She said as another crash was heard. Pei swallowed hard. " Let's get Ryo." She whispered as she hurried to her brother's room.
*~*~ Pei's room, a few minutes later*~*~
Ryo stifled a big yawn as he was being pushed to his sister's room. " This had better be good." He growled as he entered her room. " You're lucky dad gave all soldiers two weeks vacation from duty." He added sleepily. Pei peered over Ryo's shoulder, shaking. " Ryo-han, there's a coopibooba in my closet!!!" she exclaimed as she hid once more behind her macho bro. Ryo rubbed his eyes and mumbled " I believe the correct word is capybara." Pei frowned. " Details!!!" she said as she pushed Ryo towards her closet door. " Just get it!!!" she added moving a safe distance. " Why don't you get it??" Ryo asked as he leaned against the closet door. " Because I'm mucho big afraid of rats!!!!" she admitted as she sat on her bed, Mushu still hiding behind her head.
Ryo sighed and said coolly: " You owe me big time for this little sis." Pei nodded. " Whatever just get it!!! Please.." She begged. Ryo smiled slightly, he loved seeing his little sister beg. " Sure." he muttered and did a superman( you know, the pose of superman.) " Super Ryo to the rescue of little Pei from Ratzilla!!!" Pei blushed and pouted.
Ryo slowly opened the door, he looked inside. " See??" he opened the door wider for Pei to see.. That there was nothing there. " Chicken." He mumbled as he yawned. Pei looked at the closet, then screamed. Ryo covered his ears. " What??" he demanded as he made sure he wasn't deaf. Pei was now whimpering and pointing very weakly at the closet. Ryo rolled his eyes and grunted as he looked in. " Aiyaaaa!!!!" he yelled as he jumped backwards and careened unto Pei's bed. They were staring at a big pair of golden eyes that were staring at them. " That is one big rodent." Ryo said. Pei was now shivering and hiding behind her bro. ( note: The parents and grandparents are quite heavy sleepers, the parents only woke coz they were half-asleep)
They eyes blinked quickly as they stared at the siblings. It seemed curious about them. Studying them even. " Dragons, why couldn't we get cats instead??" Pei moaned as she sensed impending doom for them. Mushu looked at her offended. " No offense." Pei added.
Suddenly, out of the closet, a red blur whizzed out, the siblings screamed. The red streak aimed for Pei, she screamed bloody murder, as the streak landed on her chest. " Oh, fresh!!!" she exclaimed as she was thrown backwards by the streak, Mushu immediately jumped off Pei and on Ryo. " Don't kill me.." She moaned as she shielded her face. She felt the creature lean over her, she swallowed hard. She felt the creature's hot breath on her face, she prepared herself as it leaned closer and..licked her face???
" Huh??" she quipped as she stared up at the creature. She was staring into the golden eyes, when they leaned back, she was face-to-face with a small chubby red lizard with bat wings. The creature was staring at her with big puppy eyes and it's tongue was hanging out of it's mouth as if panting.
" It's a dragon!!! A baby!!" Mushu exclaimed as he rushed over to Pei's side. " Must've come from the egg." " It's so cute!!!!!" Pei said as she sat up and cuddled the little beast. Ryo jumped off the bed and stared at it. " Where and how did a baby dragon end up here??" he said asking himself. He frowned then looked at Pei. Pei stopped cuddling the baby dragon, which was giggling insanely, and smiled innocently at her brother. " I.uh.found it's egg yesterday..." she muttered. " It doesn't look Chinese." She said changing the subject. Ryo sighed. He decided that he would discuss the sudden appearance of the baby dragon later.
He nodded and said, picking it ( the baby dragon) up and staring at it, " It looks western. Probably the mother migrated here. How'd you get the egg anyway??" Pei replied: " I found it in the catfish we had yesterday." Ryo made a disgusted face. " What I'm curious about is how it got inside the catfish." Pei said as she grabbed the baby dragon and set it down on the floor and let it play with Mushu. Ryo nodded and cleared his throat. " I think I can answer that." He said looking at the baby dragon who was playing with Mushu's tail. " Probably, when it was in it's nest, something disturbed it's nest and possibly caused it to roll down into the river, while afloat, it got swallowed by the catfish." " Ryo, where'd you get that theory??" Pei asked amazed at her brother's intellect. " If I remember correctly, there was a massive earthquake last month in Tibet, the egg probably was nestled there since the Tibet mountains are very secluded, it then rolled all the way to a river thanks to the force of the quake." " But, if that was a month ago, shouldn't the dragon come out of the catfish??" Pei asked. " Dragons thrive in heat, probably it took some heat to make it hatch." Ryo replied, then he and his sister looked at Mushu. " What?!?!" Mushu asked oblivious to the fact that is was he who helped hatched the little dragon who was pawing and playing with his tail.
" But, Tibet is cold, how could the egg hatch???" " Simple, the mother possibly breathes on it."
Pei smiled. " We got a baby dragon!!!!" she said. " Now that we own it, what'll we name it?? " How about ' Mushu jr.', coz it's red and cute like me." Mushu suggested grinning. Pei shook her head. " Too corny. How about.. Dumpling, because it's so cute and adorable like one!" she remarked as she picked it up and hugged it. It giggled insanely. Mushu shook his head. " Too girly, let's get something manly." " How do you know it's a guy??" Pei asked, annoyed. Ryo sighed, whenever Mushu and Pei fought, he didn't want to be included because it was FIERCE.
" How do you know it's a girl???" Mushu interjected. They glared at each other. " Mushu jr.!!!" " Dumpling!!!!" " Mushu jr.!!!!!" " Dumpling!!!!!" " Mushu jr.!!!!" " Dumpling!!!!" " Chi Ryu!!!" came Ryo's voice. " Huh???" Pei and Mushu said at the same time as they looked at Ryo. He replied calmly: " I study Japanese mind you. Ryu in Japanese means dragon. Chi is an anagram of Chibi which mean small. I think the name fits him/her perfectly. Mushu and Pei sighed. " Fine. Chi Ryu it is." They said at the same time. Ryo smiled triumphantly. " I wonder how much trouble a little dragon can cause." Pei said as she kissed the dragon's forehead. It giggled once more. " Just be sure the family don't see it." Ryo said. Pei nodded.
*~*~ the following week*~*~
Monday, lunch:
Fa Zhou waited for his noodles to be served to him. " Remember Pei, I want them hot." He said reminding his granddaughter who was making his lunch. " No problem grandpa." Pei said turning from her noodles. Unknown to her, Chi Ryu had snuck into the kitchen. It was staring at the bowl of noodles. It smiled, then breathed some flames unto the noodles. Pei, unaware of that, didn't look at the noodles, then served them to Fa Zhou. He stared at the flames. " Pei, I know I said hot, I didn't mean this hot though." He said as his noodles turned into ash. Pei could only stare at the ashes, then into the kitchen door where she saw Chi Ryu playing in a pan. She groaned.
Tuesday, afternoon:
Ryo was watching Chi Ryu play on the bridge over the mini river. Ci Ryu then fell in. Ryo takes a soaking wet baby dragon out, he then pats it's back. He hears a loud sneeze come from the dragon. He turns around and yells " Aiyaa!!" at what the little critter had done. It's fire had become ice when it fell in the river, and it's sneeze had frozen solid their grove of peach blossoms.
Wednesday, morning:
Pei wakes up, yawning, and sees her favorite pillow torn to shreds, jumps out of bed, sees Chi Ryu tearing her other pillows like a dog. Sees her and jumps on her lap and cuddles her, unaware of mess it made. Pei groans, and falls back on bed.
Thursday, afternoon:
Ryo and Mushu are playing mahjong in the gazebo. Suddenly sees Chi Ryu staggering towards them, looking stuffed. Sees chicken feather in mouth. The two freak out, and run to the backyard, sees the backyard covered in chicken feathers and two chickens are missing. Can only stare open-mouthed.
Friday, evening:
Pei collapsed on the couch and sighed, Ryo does the same. They lazily watch Chi Ryu assassinate a throw pillow. Pei sighed. " Take back what I said, he is trouble." She muttered. Ryo nodded. " Big trouble." He added. " But we can't leave him out there all alone, he's just a baby." Pei said as she picked up Chi Ryu and hugged it tightly. Ryo nodded. " We should try to make him housebroken." He said as he kneeled beside his sister. She nodded.
*~*~*~*~*
Hehe, yup, that's what it is!!! I was inspired to make it a dragon when I watched DragonHeart. Really nice movie. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, I will work on the next one entitled: Big trouble in tiny town. I can give you a sneak peek of it, or rather, a summary: Chi Ryu is now housebroken, meaning it won't destroy stuff. Then some ruffians attack the town. Pei and Ryo then save the town. But, a sinister figure rises from the darkness when they save it. Who is it and what does it want?? Nyaah, I hope I can actually write it already.
