Disclaimer; I want to stop saying this all the time, but it's mandatory. So, I don't own any of the Disney characters from Mulan.
(A/N; Hi! It's been along time, how y'all doing? Well i keep getting hounded at school by some people to update, so here i am. So this is for all of you at school who hound me for more.)
Chapter 11:
"Hey Chia. I have some good news." Tang said one day after school. Chia was in the library again.
"What?" she said sounding somewhat annoyed.
"I have a plan." he answered sitting down across from her.
"You do?" Chia said, doubtful about what he has for a plan.
"Yes."
"Well what is it?"
"Okay, so this weekend Shang's mother is going out with his dad somewhere, and she might have Shang watch his little sister. But what if I was going to ask if Shang could come to my house that night. Leaving Mai without a babysitter. What if she calls Mulan to babysit Chu? Of course Shang wouldn't know that Mulan would be in his house. Then after so long me and him go back to his house, and Bam! They're face to face." Tang explained to her.
Chia sat there with a blank expression on her face. Finally she spoke, "Tang, you're forgeting some small details."
"Okay, well tell me then."
"First, Shang might not want to come to your house. Mai might have him stay home. But if Mai does call Mulan, she might not want to babysit Chu. And when and if, they come face to face, they're both going to make an excuse to leave. Then what are we going to do?" She told him, closing her textbook.
"Well, that's were we come in. Your still going to go over to Mulan's house tomorrow right?"
"Yes, but what does it have to do with the plan?"
"Well, when your at her house, Mai will call and if Mulan turns it down, You'll be there to tell her that she should take the job. And if and when they see each other, we'll tell them that they need to talk this out. We'll say to them that they want to be with each other. It should work, right?" he asked her.
"What if it doesn't? Then what do we do? Do you have any back up plans?" Chia asked opening her textbook up again.
"No, because it will work. Trust me. You can tell they both still love each other." He answered her.
"Okay, but if it doesn't, then I blame you. And you can stop saying they still love each other, because we all know that part already." she said after flipping some pages in her book.
"Alright. I have to leave. Call me before you go over to Mulan's house tomorrow." Tang said getting up.
"Yeah, whatever." she answered, not looking up at him.
"Hey Tang. Is Chia in there?" Mulan asked as Tang was leaving the library.
"Um. Yeah. You know she wouldn't be anywhere else,"
"She's such a bookwork." they both said together.
"Well, I'll see you later Mulan. Bye." Tang said walking toward the front enterance.
"Bye." she answered before going into the library.
"Mulan. Over here." Chia said as her best friend walked into the library.
"Hey Chia." Mulan said walking over to her.
"Hi."
"My mom's here. She's waiting out front." Mulan said.
"Oh, well let me just put this book away and we can go." Chia said closing the big Biology book.
"Working on your Biology? You know that assignment isn't due till friday?" Mulan asked before Chia put it in her backpack.
"Of course I know it's due friday. But it's easier to get it done before friday." Chia said standing up and putting the backpack on her back.
"You know your such,"
"A bookworm." they said together before they both started to laugh.
"Thanks Mrs. Fa for taking me home." Chia said after she had gotten out of the car.
"It's no problem. We have to go by your house anyway. Well we have to go. Oh, Chia we'll be here at 7:30 to pick you up before school tomorrow."
"Thanks. See you later." Chia said as Fa Li backed her car out of the driveway and headed down the street.
When Chia walked into the house she was greeted with a yappy puppy, two twins chasing after it, and a stressed out mother.
"Hi Chia. How was your day at school?" asked her mother as she walked into the enterance hall.
"Fine. Um, should I ask what Aiwa and Alue are going to do to Chi?" Chia asked as she walked with her mom into the living room, where Alue had a pink dress in her hands.
"Not again. Alue. Aiwa. How many times do I have to tell you, Chi is not a doll. You do not put little pink dresses on her. I don't want to have to tell you again. Now go play in your rooms." there mother said to the two twins sitting on the floor, looking up at their mother with innocent faces before getting up and running to their rooms giggling.
"I say thoughs girls are going to be the death of me. Anyway, please take Chi with you to your room. I don't want them two trying to dress her up again. And I have to clean." asked her mother before Chia went up to her room.
"Okay. Come here Chi." Chia said picking up the puppy and going up the stairs. "There you go. Please don't pee on my floor again." she said as she put her down and closed the door.
Chia walked over to the stereo and turned it on. Then she walked over to her door and grabbed her backpack and went over to her desk to do her homework. She was about to take her Biology out to work on it again when she heard a knock on her door. "Yeah."
There was giggling on the other side. Chia got up and walked over to the door and opened it. Her twin sisters were standing there in front of her. "What do you two want?"
More giggling, "Chia can we have Chi back?"
"That depends, what are you planning to do to her?" Chia asked moving down to their level.
"Dress her up and have a tea party." Alue said, again more giggles.
Chia looked from Alue to Aiwa, over to Chi, who was laying in her basket on the floor next to the desk, then back to Alue again. "No. You can't have her back. Mom said she didn't want you to dress her up in little pink dresses. Now go away, I have homework to do." With that said she closed the door. She could her the stomping of the twin's shoes as they ran back to their rooms.
"Why do they so desperately want to dress you up Chi?" Chia asked the little puppy. It looked up at her with its big chocolate colored eyes. Then layed its head on the blanket. Chia stood up straight and walked back to her desk. She reached down and took out her biology homework, she was nearly done. There was another knock on her door. This time two at once. She rolled her eyes and got up and opened the door. Her sisters were standing there again. "You two never give up do you? What do you want?"
They giggled. "Can we please have Chi?" Aiwa asked.
"I said no. Now go away or I'll have to go to mom." she said to them then closed the door.
She walked back to her desk to work on her biology again, she was just about to pick up her pencil when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Chia."
"Shang?" she asked, bewildered that he was calling her.
"Yeah?"
"Wha, why are you calling my house?" she asked holding the phone with her shoulder so it would stay. She picked up her pencil and began to wirte down the answer to one of the questions.
"I just have a question to ask you." he answered to her.
"Okay, what is it?"
"Um, do... do you... do you like Tang? I... I mean you sure do hang around him alot, and I saw him kiss you on the cheek two weeks ago."
She had dropped the phone. She bent over to pick it up and said to him after it was by her ear again, "Uh, um," there was another knock on her door. "Can you hold on a sec?"
"Yeah."
She stood up and walked to the door and opened it. The twins were standing there again. "Will you two go away, can't you see I'm on the phone." she closed the door in there faces again.
"Sorry. About your question, the truth is, um... unclear right now." she said sitting back down at her desk and then picking up her pencil again.
"Chia, come on, you like him. You know you do." he said to her.
"Like you still like Mulan?" she asked him.
"Uh... um... yes. Like I still like Mulan. But, your turning it on me. You like Tang. And, he likes you."
"No I don't. Shang, I honestly don't like him. Truly, I don't."
"Okay, you don't need to get all defensive about it."
"Sorry, but it's just that... CHI! No! Um, Shang I have to go see you at school tomorrow."
"Yea, see you." he said before Chia hung up the phone.
"Chi, bad dog." Chia said picking up the puppy and opening the door to go down the hall to her little sister's rooms. She opened the door and set Chi down inside.
"Here, you can have her." she said then closed the door behind her. She could her the squeals and giggles as she left to go back to her room.
She lay on her bed for some time now. She was bored. She didn't want to touch her Biology homework. Yes it was due tomorrow, but she just didn't want to do any of it. She was an A student, but maybe for once she could go with out actually doing the assignment. No, her mother would kill her if she didn't do it. So she sat up and walked over to her desk. When she sat down she noticed that the internet conversation was still on the computer. "I thought that I got rid of that?"
"No you didn't. You forgot about it, and instead you ate my eggroll." Mushu said as he came out of no where and stood in front of her.
"Your still sore about that? I was asome time ago. Get over it." She said moving the mouse to click onto the the document.
"No, I won't get over it. It was my eggroll. And you ate it." he said crossing his tiny arms and sticking his nose in the air.
"Will it help you get over it if I say that I'm sorry?" Mulan said, trying to persuade the little dragon.
"Apology excepted." He said uncrossing his arms and smiling at her.
"Good. I was beginning to think that you hated me." she said as she clicked the document.
"I did. I hated you for eating my eggroll. But I don't hate you, hate you." he said watching the screen. "So what are you going to do with that?" he asked meaning the conversation she had brought on to the screen.
"I was going to delete it, but now after having a talk with him, I think I'm going to keep it on here." she said after skimming through it.
"Are you sure, before you wanted to get rid of it. Now you want to keep it?"
"Yes." she said closing out of the document.
"Okay. It's up to you, not me." he said, jumping down to the floor.
"Mushu?"
"Yeah?"
"I want to give him another chance." she said stairing at top of her desk the whole time.
"What?" Mushu said turning around slowly.
"I want to be with him again. Give him another chance, to set things right." she said still looking at top of her desk.
Mushu climbed up to the top of the desk. "What gave you the idea?" he asked sounding alittle concerned.
"Nothing. I finally realized that I want to be with him. And it took me this long to figure it out. To see it." she said looking into the dragon's eyes.
"Alright then. You tell him that." he said looking up at her face.
"What? I can't just walk up to him and say, 'Hey Shang, I want to be with you again. I made a big mistake for not giving you another chance, please take me back.' I doesn't work like that." she said shocked.
"I know. But, you could give it a try." Mushu answered, scared that she'll blow in his face.
"I can't. I doesn't work like that. And you know it doesn't." she said standing up and walking to her bed.
