Chapter 2
Mushu
"Mushu, awaken", a great ancestor called to a stone lamp. The lamp started to jiggle then a tiny red dragon, about May-Lin's age came out with a gong and stick. "Did I get a job, huh, huh did I", Mushu asked the ancestor excitedly. "No, Mushu, what do you do", the ancestor asked him motioning to the gong and stick. "I wake up the ancestors", Mushu recited obediently. "That's right Mushu, now ring the gong." "Man, I hate this job, can't ya give a brother a break, this is the most……!" Mushu stopped dead in his tracks and looked out the window. There he saw May-Lin and gaped at her loveliness. "The most beautiful thing I've ever seen", he finished not knowing what he just said.
"Mushu, Now", the ancestor shouted at the dragon but Mushu was out the door in no time flat. The ancestor rubbed his head frustratingly when he saw Mushu walk over to May-Lin. "Oh, well, uh, hi there uh, no that's not right", Mushu said to himself working on his introduction. "Oh, hiya, no that's not it,uh", Mushu was stopped, because he found himself face to face with May-Lin! May-Lin gasped, this dragon in front of her was so handsome! May-Lin backed away shyly and blushed. "Um, hi, I'm May-Lin", she introduced herself. "Wow, May-Lin, that's a nice name, I'm Mushu", he said shyly. "So where are you from", May-Lin asked Mushu. "Well, uh, I live in there helping out with the ancestors", he told her, not wanting to tell her about gong duty.
"You have gong duty, right", May-Lin guessed, noticing Mushu's reluctance. "How'd you know that", Mushu asked her as they walked around in the garden. "A friend of mine across Mainland has gong duty and acts just the way you do when you don't want to say what your job is", she explained, picking a few purple flowers. "I bet guys are crawlin' all over you, and I bet none of them have gong duty", Mushu muttered dejectedly. "Actually, I really don't care what sort of job they have, just so they can be the right dragon for me", she told Mushu. "Really", he asked brightening up, "so have you found anyone like that yet?" May-Lin knew Mushu liked her and giggled, "No I haven't found one yet, well, actually there is one dragon, he would be the perfect husband, if he weren't so rude, self centered, spoiled, and selfish!" "Well then, why do you wanna marry him", Mushu asked her, confused. "It's not me, it's my mom, she's been trying to get me a good match for a year, and then she just had to find Ania, now I'm supposed to be in an arranged marriage, I've never felt so lost", May-Lin said, tears sliding down her face. Mushu put his tail on her shoulder, just like Ania did but May-Lin felt more comfortable when Mushu did it. "Hey, it's gonna be okay, you'll see, hey, where's your mom, maybe I could talk to her", Mushu said, trying to get May-Lin to feel better. "You would do that, for a girl you just met", May-Lin asked Mushu. "I feel like I've known you my whole life", Mushu said picking a blue flower from the garden, and giving it to May-Lin. "Thank you so much Mushu", May-Lin exclaimed, hugging him. Then the two dragons came face to face with each other, but instead of backing away from each other, they started kissing! Just then they heard Hay-Lin's voice, "May-Lin, what are you doing, come here now!" "No mother, I am not marrying Ania and you can't stop me", she shouted at her mother, turning towards Mushu again. "Well, we'll see how Ania likes this now won't we, I'll be back", Hay-Lin said threateningly. Mushu and May-Lin couldn't care less at the moment though. They were to busy staring at each other lovingly. Even when one of the older ancestors shouted, "Hey Mushu, think fast", Mushu just dodged the gong easily when the old ancestor hurled it at him. "Man, that girl dragon's got Mushu hooked", the old ancestor said after he tried it again, but failed.
