After dinner Shang and Mulan were sitting by the pond talking.
"I uhh...just wanted to say that I think it took a lot of courage to
sneak into the army like that."
"Well..thanks."
"Uh..and..thanks for saving my life...I uhh...."
"Shang, I understand it's kinda hard to understand, but I'm the same
person who was with you all that time,
only now I'm a girl"
"I know..that's why it's so hard."
"Well, why does that make any difference?"
Mulan was beginning to worry that Shang was thinking less of her like
everyone else because she was
again a girl.
"NO!," exclaimed Shang as if stunned that Mulan would think such a
thing. "It's just that..well now that
you're a girl again..I think you're...ummm....pretty.."
Mulan faced Shang and smiled. "Really?"
"Yeah...I mean when we were training I knew there was something different
about you, I just didn't know
HOW different!"
Mulan and Shang both laughed then Shang suddenly stood up. Mulan was
afraid he was going to say that
she was too out-spoken and that he wanted someone who would listen.
Suddenly Shang took Mulan's hand
and said, "Mulan I've been with you in the army for a long time, but
I've really just gotten to know you."
"But Shang I already told you I'm the same..."
Shang cut her off. "I know, but I'd like to get to know Mulan, not
Ping. Mulan, this may sound crazy,
but...will you marry me?"
Mulan was stunned for a second. Then she screamed, "Of course!" Mulan
threw her arms around Shang
and Shang twirled her around. Mulan and Shang ran into the house and
told Mulan's parents. They were
thrilled. When Mulan met Shang's mother she was greeted warmly. Shang's
mother thanked Mulan strongly
for saving her son's life. The wedding was held soon after and Mulan
and Shang had a baby girl. She grew
up with the same personality a her mother...
