Rapunzel's POV
I had ordered a strawberry milkshake from the bar as I waited for the "Black Knights" to perform. The Dot was crowded tonight because of the band, and I had a great spot where I can see and be seen by the boys. Erick, Derek, and Eugene were in the band, along with Beast who played drums but he rarely ever talked to me.
I played with my hair as I waited for the boys to start. My hair was very, very long, so I had the first half in a bun while the rest of it came down my back. I've thought about cutting it, but Eugene loved it long, so I didn't cut it.
As my strawberry milkshake arrives, I see a few girls I knew from school. I saw Jazz and Belle sitting off to the side talking away, and Ariel made her way to the backroom. I had never been back there, but I was always curious on what went on back there. Just then I saw Mulan walking in front of me.
"Hey Mulan, care for a drink?" I smile brightly at her. She smiled back at me, but shook her head.
"I have something to do, but thanks Rapunzel," she tried, but I wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Come on, relax a bit." I say, and order her a milkshake as well. With a sigh she sat down next to me. "So, what brings you here to the Dot?" I ask.
"I'm here on business." She said. I quirk an eyebrow at her.
"Business? We're in high school, what business could you possibly have?" I giggle at the thought of actually working in a cubical at our age.
"I meant personal business." Mulan corrected.
"Ooooh." I let out drinking some of my milkshake. "Is it like top secret spy stuff?" I ask.
"Something like that, yeah." She answers.
"Oooo! Can I know? Please, please, please?" I ask her, batting my eye lashes. She kind of leans back a little overcome with my pleases.
"Um, it's not all that exciting Rapunzel, honestly." She said.
"Oh. Boring top secret spy stuff." I say and go back to my milkshake and stare at the stage.
"It's not really spy," Mulan begins to explain, but the lights start to dim out and the boys come out on stage.
"Shush! Shush! Shush, shhhh!" I interrupt Mulan, swatting at her. "The concert is about to start." I say excitedly and she goes quiet.
I stare up at the stage, watching all of them grab their instruments. Erick and Eugene played guitar while Derek played bass, and Beast sat at the drums. Eugene strummed the strings on his guitar and tuned it up while Erick got up to the microphone and smiled at the audience.
"How is everybody tonight?" he asked.
The crowd screamed and shouted, me included. The boys, except for Beast, shared a chuckle and Erick looked down at his guitar before continuing.
"As you all probably know we are,"
"The Black Knights." Eugene and Derek said along with Erick.
"And we are here to save you from a boring night of staying at home," Erick continued. "By doing one simple thing." He lifted a finger and pointed at Beast who stared up the beat. "We'll rock the night away." Erick said, just as Eugene ripped up on his guitar, starting up their first song of the night – "We'll Rock the Night Away".
I screamed in support. The song wasn't my favorite but it was still a really good song. Derek had written it, and it was a really catchy dancey kind of song. I smiled as I watched the audience enjoy themselves to the boys' performance. I looked over to ask Mulan what she thought of the band so far, but she was no longer sitting next to me.
Shrugging it off, I turned back to the boys, noticing Eugene smirking towards me. I wave at him cute-like, and he winked back at me. I giggled, and continued to lose myself in their music and my strawberry milkshake.
Mulan's POV
Rapunzel had held me up long enough to miss the backroom meeting. I had to stop Shin from recruiting sophomores into the gang. It wasn't right. It was like putting babies into a fight that was never theirs to begin with.
I had lost them coming out of the Dot, and I was trying to track them down through the streets. I suddenly heard a few strange noises. I followed those noises into one of the darker allies on the street. That's where I found Shin and his gang, only they weren't really talking. They were in a fight with the rival gang.
I looked over to find Shin and the leader of the other gang deep in a fist fight, Ling, Po, and Yao fighting off some of the guys, while Ariel was being held up against the wall but she was holding up her own. Then when I got a look at the sophomores they were all getting their faces kicked into the back of their skulls.
Knowing I had to do something, I sigh and go for the nearest guy to me, kicking him in the gut having him keel over. Other gang members noticed me and dropped the sophomores and came after me.
Centering myself and remembering my training, I blocked one of the punches, taking their wrist and twisting it while kicking another guy in the chest sending him stumbling back. I then punched a different guy having him fall to the ground.
A few more guys began to come after me until we saw the red and blue lights of authority. Immediately each gang began to fall back. The police sirens where sounded and that's when everyone booked it. I looked over to see a few of the sophomores either too weak to run or completely knocked out.
Shin ran towards me and began to slow his pace. I looked him dead in the eye, but he shook his head and ran past me his trusted "friends" following after him. I turned to watch them all hop fences and escape from the law. I didn't bother to chase after them, I never did. What was the point, it would only be wasted words on a hard headed, stubborn fool like Shin.
"Mulan." I heard a familiar voice, and turned back to face the head chief officer of Story Brook , my boss, my father, Officer Fa. I quickly bow to show my respect and straighten to report.
"What happened tonight? You were to keep this from happening." He said, and I bowed my head a bit to show my apology.
"Sorry sir, they group got away from me. I had just tracked them down when the fight broke out." I reply and in return heard him sigh.
"Very well. Report back to the station, and we'll sort things out there." He says, and I nod bowing again. I didn't like the disappointed tone in his voice, but what else could I expect from a failed mission.
I walked over to the car that was waiting for me while my father and the other officers checked out the surroundings. As I got into the car I felt someone lightly punch my arm. I looked over annoyed only to find my best friend sitting next to me.
"Mushu!" I smile wide hugging him.
"Didn't expect you to miss me that much." He chuckles and I pull back still with a smile on my face.
"When did you get back from China?" I asked him and he shrugged.
"A few hours ago. Stopped by your folks place hoping you would be home, but you ended up working."
"Sorry." I say bashfully.
"What you sorry for? Can't really blame you for working." He says adding a smile. I smile back happy that he was back.
"So you've seen Mamma." I say and he nods.
"She was the one who asked me to come get you. Whoo has she cooked up a delicious dinner!" he says rubbing his stomach. "You wouldn't mind me uh…staying over for dinner would ya?" he asks and I shake my head.
"Of course not. You're welcome over anytime." I say. He smiles starting the car.
"Why thank you." He says putting the car into drive. "Because I was thinking about moving in too."
"What?" I can't even get a reply because he speeds down the road, screaming like a mad man.
I laugh, knowing that having Mushu around will brighten my mood.
That's all for now! Remember to leave me a review and let me know what you think!
