I'm back with chapter 3 I finally made one longer.
A few hours later
Mulan and Shang were packed up and ready to go to the palace. They were not to happy about it but they were ready to hear what ever the emperor was going to tell them to do.
Mulan and Shang said goodbye and hugged both Fa Li and Fa Zhou And the grandmother and told them they would stay safe.
"So are you ready Mulan." Shang asked.
"Yes just let me get something." Mulan ran back in the house as fast as she could and grabbed her magnolia comb off of the table in her and Shang's bedroom. She felt that she had to have it every time she had to do something like this. She put it in her pocket and ran back outside to Shang.
"I'm ready now we can go." She said while climbing on Khan's back.
"Okay." Shang said.
Then they galloped away in the direction of the palace.
"So are you still upset?" Mushu asked.
"What do you think?" Mulan asked sarcastically.
"Oh ok attitude."
"Sorry Mushu it's just I don't know."
"Why are you worried about war so much?"
"Well...because."
"Because what?
"I'll tell you later."
"You don't even know do you."
"Maybe I don't know." She told him.
"Maybe you don't know what?" Shang asked joining the conversation.
"Why she's afraid of war."
"I am not afraid of war!"Mulan protested.
"I think that's the thing that she's least afraid of." Shang said
"Then why are you worried about it."Mushu asked.
"I don't know." Then she whispered "Stop it Mushu I don't want him to know just yet. Mushu could just burst out laughing right then but instead he laughed as quietly as he could.
Before they knew it they were at the gates of the palace. They guards opened the gates and let them in. Mushu and Crikee jumped on Mulan's collar as usual and two servants took their horses while Deng Chi was te first person to come out when they were inside the palace.
"Good afternoon the emperor can see you now." Deng Chi said while bowing.
Mulan and Shang followed him to the throne. Once there the emperor was waiting for them. Mulan and Shang bowed down and the emperor said.
"Good afternoon. I am so sorry to disturb your happy life together but I am afraid China needs your service again. Mulan was surprised even thought it was what she was suspecting. Shang said "It will not be a problem your majesty."
"Your majesty do you by any chance know why Qui Gong is starting war?"Mulan asked already knowing the answer but wanted to make sure.
"Well from what I've heard so far Mulan is that Lord Chin is very angry because he thinks that he was fooled out of the alliance."the emperor answered.
"Where would he get something as ridiculous as that."Mushu said loud enough for everyone including the emperor to hear.
"What was that?"the emperor asked.
Mulan pretended that she didn't know what he was talking about and said "I didn't hear anything. Did you Shang?"
"Not a thing."Shang said playing along with the game and gave Mushu a serious look.
"Maybe its just me. Furthermore I need you two to"he said before he was interrupted.
"Your highness I am sorry to interrupt your important meeting but Chen Ji one of the spies is missing."Deng Chi said right away.
"Send word out and get as many men as possible but be careful."
"Yes sir and I will."
"As I was saying I really need you two to go the camp and go from there Shang I'm going to have to ask you to choose another general and two captains And divide the army into two groups."
"I'll do just that."
"Mulan I need you to be careful and don't get hurt whatever you do we need your crazy ideas."the emperor said with a smile.
"I will."
"You are dismissed and hopefully I will see you two again when this is all over."
Mulan and Shang said there goodbyes and left the room. Shang was holding Mulan's hand for comfort because he knew that she was a little upset because they had to go to camp again.
Mulan kept thinking to herself what did he mean maybe he'll see us again. But she snapped out of it when Shang said "Mushu if you're going to follow us everywhere we go you kinda have to keep your mouth shut."
"Well sorry it just slipped out."
"Well don't let it happen again."
"Whatever."
About an hour later
Mulan and Shang were at the camp. When they finished setting some stuff up they went into their tent to start strategy planning. Well it was really Shang that was doing the planning because Mulan was to busy worrying about everything. Soon they heard something outside so Shang went to see who it was.
"Ok Mulan what were you going to tell me?"Mushu asked.
"Nothing."
"Oh there's something."
"Ok I'll tell you but please don't tell Shang whatever you do."
"I wont shoot."
"Alright I saw the doctor a few days ago and I'm with child."
"That's happy news."
"Yeah but we have this stupid war and it sucks the fun out of it. Now I wish that Shang wasn't the general and that I never took my father's place in the army."Mulan said in a depressed mood.
"Mulan are you going crazy! If that was so not only would you not be pregnant but you would probably be dead. Mushu said.
"Yeah you are right."
"Of course I'm right I am the smartest coolest and sexy dragon on the planet."
"Mushu snap out of it."
"Ok ok ok . But its not that bad all you have to do is kill thousands of mongols."
"Thousands?"
"What have I done."Mushu said in doom.
"Yeah what have you done."
"Don't change the subject why aren't you telling Shang about the baby it is his isn't it.
"Mushu! How could you say something like that."
"Calm down girl I was only kidding."
"Well I don't know how he'll take it I don't want him to get worried too he has a job to do and so do I."
"Ok so what you're is you would kill your unborn child doing your job?"
"I don't want to but if I do I do."
"Mulan I can't believe you I knew you were a murderer but I didn't know you would kill your own child ."Mushu said surprised.
"Neither did I but its either that or many more people do die. I'll have to be very careful."
Mulan couldn't believe what she was telling Mushu but she somehow had convinced herself that she had to defend China no matter what. She had to ask herself , is her duty really to her heart?
Its done! Review ! Review ! Review!
