Author's Note: VERY SHORT CHAPTER! I apologize, but I just wanted to focus on what's going in Shang's head.

Disclaimer: I do not own Mulan or any characters. I only own Li Xieng, Lee Mei-Ying, Chin-Hwa, and Chun Ushi.

Chapter 6: Thoughts and Confusion.

Mei looked at Shang with concern as she saw him peeked out the window.

"Uh nothing. I had happened to drop this." Shang said as he looked over the broken vase.

"That's alright" she said calmly as she bent down to pick up the pieces.

"I think it's time for me to go." Shang said as he looked down at Mei.

"So soon?" she asked as she finished picking up the pieces of vase.

"Yeah" he said as he scratched his neck, "I have some things to catch up to."

The two of them bid their farewells as Shang took off in his horse. As he rode off back to camp, he couldn't take his mind off one person.

Mei.

It had been almost two months they've been friends and that he had been meeting with her everyday. As he has gotten to know her, he's gotten closer to her. And as he had gotten closer to Mei, he also has become attached to her. But why?

Could it be her beauty?

"Mei was a beautiful girl indeed", he thought to himself. "Her hazel glistening eyes, her long black silky hair, her soft and delicate features, any man would be bound to fall for her."

Could it be her personailty?

"She's smart and very reserved." he continued thinking "She was the typical traditional Chinese girl. Very poised, confident, and always stuck by the rules." It's like if she was the ideal woman for him...

"The ideal woman for him?" he said to himself "MULAN!...How could he forget about his wife?" He sighed and he stopped his horse. He looked ahead of him and there he saw the camp.

"It's been weeks since Mulan and him had even talked. It's like the spark was...gone." he thought himself. "Maybe Mulan and I weren't destined to be with each other."

He let out another sigh.

"Maybe I'm falling out of love with Mulan." he said to himself "It can't be..."

Maybe he's falling in love with... Mei?

No.

That was out of the question.

It's impossible.

He's married to Mulan. And she's married to whoever her husband is.

But why was he feeling this towards Mei?

He can't be in love with two women.

It was simply wrong, considering him being a reserved man.

He knew he had to think things over.

"Did Mei feel the same about him?" he wondered.

Maybe he should talk to her first.

or maybe he should to talk to Mulan?

Li Shang felt so confused, yet he didn't know what to do.

But he knew he had to make this decision fast, before matters get worse...
