Part VII
..."Who are you?" Shang asked suspiciously. "No, the question is WHO
are YOU." Wei answered in the
same tone of voice. "I am Li Shang, Captain of China's Great Imperial
Army." Shang said. "Well, I'm a
messenger from the emperor's palace." Wei said with a little fear tremoring
in his eyes... "What are you
doing here?" Shang asked. "I'm here to meet with Fa Mulan," replied
Wei. "So am I." Shang said. "Well
then, can I talk to her first?" Wei asked politely (he saw some of
Shang's muscles). "Uh, I wanted to go
though, besides, I was here first, and I have a very important question
to ask Mulan..." Shang replied. "So
do I, I bet my question is more important then your question." Wei
said with more confidence. "Oh yeah?
Well, what are you asking her?" Shang asked. "It's, um, kind of...personal.
Well, what are you asking
her?" Wei answered. "It's also...personal." Shang said a bit embarressed...
"Are we there yet?" asked Ling. "No, we're not there yet, you idiot!
How many times have you asked? 18
million? Shut up! Just shut up!" Yao said with annoyance in his voice.
"Ling? Yao? Remember, the path to
wisdom is peace and some good food, calm down now Yao, and Ling? Shut
up." Chien Po told both of
them. Finally, after hours of non-stop walking, they reached Mulan's
village...
"WHAT?! You're asking Mulan to marry you? But she loves me!" the two
grown men started screaming at
each other (they finally broke the ice...ha ha). Suddenly, Mulan opened
the door...she saw two men trying
to kill each other in her front yard, and three other staring at the
fight in shock. Before Mulan had a chance
to say anything, Shang pulled out his sword, and Wei did the same.
"May the best man win." Shang said in
a soft dangerous voice Mulan never heard him use. "May the best man
win." Wei agreed sinisterly...
