Hi sorry for not posting I'm still trying to figure out what I'm trying to decide if I want to go to college but I hope you like this. Also I have been having problems at my restaurant. Enjoy and review.
Chapter 4
Melody was sleeping peacefully until she was a ringing bell woke her up.
She and Mulan bolt up and discovered it was Cricket wined up by Mushu.
"All right! Rise and shine Sleeping Beauties." Mushu yelled at them while pounding on Mulan's head. "Come on. Hup. Hup Hup"
Mulan groan and pulled the covers over her head. Melody agreed with her and buried her head in the pillow. That didn't stop Mushu from pulling both of the blankets off and said, "Get your clothes on. Get ready. I got breakfast for both of you."
Melody moaned and sat up. She was then shoved in the chest with a bowl of porridge that had two eggs and one piece of bacon. She held it
"Look you both get Porridge and they are both happy to see you two." Mushu said while he gave another to Mulan. But it had cricket in the middle.
"Hey get outta there." Mushu said while flicking him out. "You're going to make people sick."
Melody groaned and started to eat her breakfast. She was never a morning person and by the look of things neither was Mulan.
"Am I late?" Mulan asked weakly but Mushu started shoving food into her mouth. "No time for talk, now remember, it's your first day of training, so listen to your teacher and no fightin", play nice with the other kids, unless one of the other kids wants to fight and then you have to kick the other kid's butts."
Mulan then said with her mouth full, "But I don't want to kick the other kids butts."
"Me too." Melody said as she swallowed her breakfast.
Mushu said, "First neither of you talk with your mouth full. Second you are not going out because our plan would be completely ruined. Third lets see your war face."
Mulan face remained motionless as she tried to swallow her food.
"Oh, I think my bunny slippers just ran for cove," Mushu said sounding disappointment, "Come on, scare me, girl."
Mulan swallowed her porridge and growled, "Rrrrraaaaarrrgggghhhh!"
Mushu fell of and the empty bowl landed on him.
Melody laughed and said, "Now that was good."
Mushu lifted the bowl up nodded and said, "That's my tough looking warrior!" He snaked up and tied Mulan hair into a bun, "Now that's what I'm talking about! Now, get out there and make me proud!"
Suddenly Khan the horse neighed frantically.
Mushu then said, "What do you mean, the troops just left?"
Mulan said, "They WHAT?"
The next few second where a blur as Mulan rushed to get her clothes on and quickly hurried out the tent. She knocked down the tent in the process. Melody lifted the cloth up just in time to see Mulan run off.
Mushu then dragged the end of Mulan sword and said, "Wait, you forgot your sword."
"That's ok," She said bending down to pet Mushu, "I don't think she'll need it today"
Mushu sighed "Your probably right."
Mushu started to sniff a bit and said, "My little baby, off to destroy people."
Melody sighed rolling her eyes and whispered. "Good luck."
She then restrung the tent and waited back inside for Mulan to return.
She observed the bracelet for a bit. She studies the other trinkets. There were two little seashells, a penguin and walrus. It reminded her of Dash and Tip. The trident was in the center. She was too afraid to touch it. Her mind then wondered to her how her mother was doing. She hoped she was ok.
Even though she was still mad at her for lying to her. She still loved her and would always love her.
…
For the rest of the day all Melody could do was play with her bracelet and not try to lose her mind from boredom. Mushu had gone to see how Mulan was doing at noon. Cricket was taking a nap. Khan the horse was her only company. She couldn't pet him with soldier kept walking by a few times.
Mulan finally came back looking tired and exhausted. She told Melody her first test was to climb a wooden pole and retrieve an arrow at the top. General Shang said you had to do it while tied down two giant medals representing discipline and strength. All soldier failed including Mulan.
"It wasn't so bad," She said, "After we practice with staff but these three other guys kept picking on me."
"They were the same ones from yesterday I ended getting a bug stuff down my shirt and making myself look like a idiot in front of the General."
"Well at least they didn't laugh at you," Melody said, "That what happened to me at my birthday party."
Melody then explained what happened at her twelfth birthday party and how it ended with her totally humiliated. Mulan was so sympathetic that she put her hand on her shoulder.
Melody then asked if Mulan could teach her some of the training they went through. Mulan thought it was a good idea so they snuck out and went to a secret spot. It wasn't much for the first day but felt like a great start for them.
…
For the next few days that was all they did was train. For Mulan it was having a bad day at getting training for the war. Then go and teach Melody how to defend and become a warrior.
It gave them something to bond over and gain a good friendship between the two. For the next few days that's what they kind of did just train and tried to become warriors. Melody at time tried to gain more control over the trident. So far she could do fire blast, lift objects, summon seawater, and make tiny rain clouds.
Over the days Melody kind of noticed that Mulan seemed to grow weaker over the few days despite training. Mulan said that training was becoming increasing hard and had trouble keeping. Melody hoped things would turn up for them soon.
…
It was really late one night when Mulan was late. Melody had gone to get some water but when she got back to the tent she found Khan gone. She sneaked around the camp until she came to the wooden pole. She found him and Mulan packed and with sad looks on there faces.
She came up to them and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mulan explained she was giving up and the General said she should leave.
Melody was shock and said, "No you just need to keep on trying."
Mulan looked up at wooden pole were the arrow was and had a look of confidence on her face. She told Melody to put Khan back at her tent and meet her back. Melody did that and she saw Mulan had the two medallions tied on and trying to climb up. They spent the rest of the night trying to solve this challenge.
When it about morning after another failed attempt at climbing Mulan suddenly had a look on her face. She swung the two medallions together around the pole and started to climb up.
It was just about the same time as dawn and Mulan looked down and said, "You better get back to the tent everyone else will be waking up soon."
Melody ran back as fast as she could and hope there was a chance for them.
…
Mulan came back to the tent looking proud and satisfied.
She said she did it and that they still have a chance. All the soldiers saw her reach the top and throw the arrow down.
Melody was ecstatic and shot her hands up. She said, "See I told you,"
"All we need is to keep trying."
"Let's hope things go well from now on." Mulan said looking confident in her-self.
They both laughed in the moment and Melody could tell things were going to get better from then on.
Truth is the relationship between them had turn into a sister like friendship for them and she knew Mulan felt it too.
…
After that day everything fell into place for them.
Everyday Mulan grew stronger in training and she told Melody that she was gaining respect from some of the other soldiers as well. Melody was also getting stronger as well.
She learned from Mulan how to fight and to us all sorts of weapons. She was getting more control over the trident. She couldn't do big things yet but she was getting there.
She could do little tricks with it in the bracelet form. She even showed Mulan how to work it. All it took was a strong grip with an even stronger heart. Mulan wasn't as good as Melody but not bad either.
Whither it was training regularly or magically both of them were becoming stronger as soldiers and as friends.
Well hope you like it and please review. It might take a while with work, school, and a social group my Dad making me go to. Just review and post comments.
