Human!Mushu/Reader - Making a Man out of You (Part 1/2)

(IMPORTANT! This was cut into two portions because DA kept saying my document was too long to post the full thing at once.)
☯----------------☯

Mushu the little red dragon as always was banging on his gong to wait up the Fa ancestors. "Ya'll wake up now! Rise in shine! Time to Waaakke~ up! Ya'll way past your time of beauty sleep! Get up!" Mushu shouted loudly outside ancestors' shrine where they slept. The Fa ancestors began to wake up while groaning from Mushu's bonging on the gong obnoxiously loud.

"Five more minutes!" One of the ancestors said and Mushu scoffed.

"Nope, we're all waken' up now! That means you too! Good grief! This really gets old." Mushu finally stopped hitting his miniature gong and places his hands on his hips as he looked inside the shrine to make sure everyone was up. There were a bunch of groans of protest but soon enough they all were up and awake. "Now that that's over with, I'm gonna' go see what Mulans doin!" Tossing his bong to the side, Mushu began racing down the stone steps and looking for the the Chinese woman that went against all the odds when she saved China from the Huns and was deemed China's bravest warrior. He was ever so lucky to be appointed her guardian though he still personally rather be the guardian spirit of the Fa family like he used to be, but that probably wasn't going to happen any time soon, if ever.

"Mulaaan!" Mushu yelled out as he went around the residence looking for Fa Mulan. He was looking forward to spending some quality time with his buddy and pal, maybe even have Cri-Kee there too, wherever that little cricket was currently. "We're gonna' have some real good times. I have a great feelin' about today!" Mushu talked aloud to himself in a burst of confidence that went to a screeching halt when he saw Mulan. She was sitting on a stone bench under a cherry blossom tree with Li Shang at her side. They were all smiles and giggles looking at each other with those lovey-dovey eyes. Mushu sighed and knew intruding on their little moment would only end up with him being the creaky third-wheel. "Whatever, I still got Cri-Kee! Where is that cricket, anyways?" Mushu now on the hunt for a cricket that was smaller than a leaf. He went searching around until he came to the koi pond and saw him sitting on a rock next to the water.

"Yo, Cri-kee! What's happening!?" Mushu greeted casually as he walked over and looked down at the cricket who wasn't even paying attention to him in the least. It was then he noticed the cricket was not alone but had another tiny cricket leaning right beside Cri-Kee. "What's going on here? Whose this?" Mushu asked as he looked at the cricket that appeared to be a female from the tiny itty-bitty pink bow that tied her antennas together. Cri-Kee chirped in annoyance at Mushu. Mushu listened and was able to understand Cri-Kee since he could speak to animals. "What?! You're telling me you got a girlfriend!?" He stared at the other female cricket who chirped softly and cuddled against Cri-Kee. The little male cricket looked like he was in a love daze which only made Mushu roll his eyes in sigh in exasperation. "Really? Not you too. Ughh. Fine, I'll give you love bugs some room. I'll just be by MYSELF. Ya' know ALONE… Doing absolutely NOTHING." Mushu established quite clearly that he didn't want to be alone with obvious hints at Cri-Kee, but the little cricket seemed too into his little girlfriend to care about lonely Mushu.

The little red dragon guardian scoffed and stormed away from the two, "Even the crickets got someone and not me! What's next the dog?!" Mushu crossed his arms and pouted as he strolled along the pathway of cherry blossom trees by himself. In the distance, he saw Mulan's little white dog, Little Brother, with another smaller black female dog. They were sniffing and barking at each other in happiness. Mushu tugged at his yellow whiskers in aggravation, "What is everyone in love!? Did I miss something!?" Mushu runs his claws down his face and huffs. "That's just not right! Why does everyone have someone special but me!? I'm the guardian of lost souls! I am the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Mushu! Who wouldn't want that!? Tch…" Kicking at the ground grumpily, he watched Little Brother and the other female dog run around and chase each other until he had enough and turned sharply away from them.

"Yeah, whatever! Aren't you all SO adorable!? …" Mushu scoffed while storming off and deciding that maybe if he went into town for awhile then just maybe he could be away from all these dopey eyed lovers. "Mulan, Cri-Kee, and even Little Brother. Maybe, if I head out I can cool off. Yeah, that sounds good!" Mushu agreed to himself and began heading into town.

☯----------------☯

"You gotta be kidding me." Mushu glared the ceremony that was going on in town. Out of all the ceremonies or festivities that they could be having in China it had to be a festival about love. Couples were littering the streets arm in arm either chatting, kissing, or giggling together. Mushu pulled at his whiskers again and growled under his breath, "This is ridiculous! Is someone playing a trick on me!? You got me! I'm a single dragon and forever alone! Are you happy now!?" Mushu yelled out into the air dramatically and of course got not reply. The miniature guardian suddenly felt incredibly alone in the world. Everyone seemed to have someone special except him. Dragging his feet and very uncharacteristically down in the dumps, Mushu was careful to hide as he walked through the town unnoticed. Then again, he could probably walk straight out in the open and no one would notice him. Everyone's eyes seemed to be stuck on each other and nothing else.

Mushu climbed up on a chair that was in an alleyway and outlooked into the busy streets full of lovers. Mushu rested his chin on his claw and frowned to himself. "This has gotta' be one of the worst days ever… Well, not as bad as being demoted to gong ringer but pretty dang close." Mushu said aloud to himself as he watched people walking about and doing their own thing. It wasn't until he noticed a girl with (h/l) (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes walk in the middle of the town square looking lost and disconnected. Mushu's eyes broaden at the sight of this girl, she was absolutely breathtaking in every way. Mushu jumped off the seat and sped over to the alley way's corner to get a better look a her. She appeared to be alone by herself just like he was! 'YES! … Wait why am I yes-ing!? She's a human mortal! What are you even thinking, Mushu!?' He chided himself inside his mind but never once took his eyes off the beautiful mortal girl. "I bet she's looking for her date. A pretty girl like that has to have someone already." Mushu tried to convince himself but the longer he watched, he saw you walk over very close near him and sit down on a chair that was in front of a Chinese chess board. You scowled and placed your chin into your hand like he had and stared out into the streets in annoyance. Mushu felt his heart pattering inside his chest as he watched you.

'She is alone! I wonder what her name is?' Mushu wondered as he stood there examining every detail about you. He thought you were the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen, his heart wouldn't stop rushing at a quick pace. The little dragon guardian couldn't help it but he inevitably had been swept off his feet. Love at first sight, he would have made fun of it before but now he was in trouble because it came back with vengeance and hit him like a heavy brick to the face. 'What am I doing!? Stop staring at her! I'm an immortal dragon, she's a mortal human. That typically doesn't work out. This ain't no fairytale.' Mushu with all his might tore his eyes away from you and then stared in front of him at a wall. His heart was still pounding almost as loudly as his gong inside his chest. He made a determined face not to look back at you but the second he heard you sigh, he basically threw himself back to peek around the corner at you again. He saw you still there in your spot but just looking bored and depressed. It kinda reminded him of himself today. With all the love in the air, it was painful for the people who were left single.

'I wish I could talk to her. I bet we'd hit it off real good and then she'd start smiling all prettily at me and…! UGH, this is not fair!' Mushu watched you for a little more until you finally stood up and wandered off back into the hordes of people. He could still faintly see you going over to browse a store that was selling jewelry. Mushu sighed dreamily and was trying to think clearly but all he could think about was you. 'She's so pretty…' Mushu thought glumly and snuck back into the crowds of people while hiding under and past objects so he wouldn't be seen by public eye. He thought he was being quite sneaky but his sense of stealth was highly overrated. An old veiny hand suddenly grabbed his tail and pulled him through some dark purple drapes and into a small room that was full of incense. Mushu yelped and was shocked when an old Chinese lady was holding him upside down by the tail. She was frowning, her wrinkles on her face looking more prominent because she was.

"There you are! Its about time you came by!" She said in an annoyed but old wise sounding voice. She then dropped Mushu down to the ground. He fell and screamed girlishly as he hit the ground with an 'oomph!'. Putting her hands on her hips, she looked down at the little red dragon and began speaking again, "I've been having visions of you long enough. Its time to get this over with so I never have to see your face again."

"Do you realize who you're talking too!?" Mushu brought up snappishly as he pulled himself up and dusted himself from invisible dust. She rolled her brown eyes and pointed at small circular table that had a crystal ball and two chairs. "Sit down, lizard."

"Lizard!? Hey, yah old hag! I'm a DRAGON! A fierce, powerful, and ultimately scary drag-" She cut him off as she grabbed him by the tail again and plopped him down on the chair.

"Shut your trap. You're even more obnoxious in person." She scoffed and went to sit down on the other seat that was at the table. Mushu crossed his arms in defense and glared the lady.

"Just who do you think YOU are!?"

"I'm the 'old hag' that's going to give you what fate desires so I can stop seeing you in all my visions! But to be more precise my name is Cui Lian and I am a soothsayer." She told him and clasped her wrinkled hands together in front of her on the table. Mushu raised his brow at her while his arms were still crossed over his yellow scaly chest.

"Why? I don't need no soothsayer! So I got not idea why you just kidnapped me into your shop, lady."

"You're not going anywhere. I know what you desire and for my own sanity I'm going to grant it for you." She told him with a serious look in her aged eyes. Mushu scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"What are YOU going to do for me?"

"Well, to start off we can begin talking about that girl you were fawning over. She caught your eye, did she not?" Lian inquired skeptically which made Mushu suddenly look uncomfortable at the mention of you. He really didn't want to talk about a girl he felt like he fell in love with at first sight and you weren't even a dragon… Not that there were many dragon ladies out and about to begin with. His choices on bachelorettes were slim and far in between.

"Why we got to talk about her!? And maybe she did. What's wrong with that?" Mushu said defensively.

She gave him a doubtful look and rolled her eyes, "You're a lizard."

"DRAGON!!!"

"Whatever… But you can't be with her if you're the tiny little thing you are now. You have no chance." She said and shook her head with a crooked smile. Mushu puffed up his chest and pointed at her.

"You don't know that!"

"… Yes, I do. My visions of the future show me how it must be. So enough of this nonsense! Let's get to the point. This is what I'm going to do for you dragon guardian. I'm going to turn you into a human for three days. If you can manage to gain her love within that time, the spell will let you remain human forever. If you stray past the three days without wooing her over then your stuck in your pitiful lizard form forever and no girl for you!"

"… You're gonna' turn me into a human? You serious!?" Mushu replied with shock, so much he didn't even refer to himself again as a dragon when she called him a lizard (again).

"Yes, all you must do it eat this fortune cookie and then your three days begins." Lian reached into her satchel and took out a fortune cookie that looked like any normal fortune cookie but this one was apparently 'magical'.

"I just have to eat a magical cookie? Are you serious?" Mushu deadpanned and started bursting out in laughter at the stupidity of it. Lian glared Mushu and threw the fortune cookie at his face. It pelted off his forehead and made him wince.

"Hey, what was that for!?"

"You're annoying! Eat the fortune cookie and end my suffering! I'm sick of seeing your stupid face in my visions!" Lian hissed while Mushu glanced at her in annoyance before looking down at the fortune cookie that was on the table in front of him. Shrugging to himself, he weighed out the outcome in his head and found that getting a chance to be with you was way more rewarding then staying a short little dragon who had no chance.

"You only live once…" Mushu took the cookie into his claw and opened his mouth and tossed the cookie inside. He began munching on it and almost choked when he felt a piece of paper in his mouth. Swallowing the cookie and tearing the paper out of his mouth, he looked down at it and it read, "The greatest danger could be your stupidity."

Lian burst out laughing to the point she was almost crying, "I made that specially for you!"

Mushu looked up with a 'really?' expression and crumbled up the fortunate cookie's paper and threw it aside carelessly as he jumped off the chair and onto the ground. "That was just stupid and uncalled fo-" Mushu was cut off as he felt something weird happening to him. Lian watched him with a smirk as smoke started to rise under his feet. Mushu gasped and looked down at himself as the smoke rose and covered his whole body until he was unseen. Lian laid her chin onto her clasped hands as she watched with a twinkle of amusement as the smoke flashed a couple colors before beginning to disperse away. Once it was all clear Mushu first noticed he was much taller than before. "Hey! I'm taller! Maybe, this spell isn't such a waste of my time-…WHOA." Mushu gasped again as he looked down at himself. He really was human!

Examining himself he had bright red hair in a Chinese staircase braid that went down to his shoulders while he also had two strands framing the front of his face that were blonde. He was wearing a scarlet red tangzhuang that had blue cuffs, gold trimming, a gold silk belt wrapped around his waist, and black cloth Chinese shoes. "I can't believe it! You really weren't pulling my tail! Now I am the guardian of lost souls! I am the most powerful, the pleasurable, and indestructible human Mushu!" Mushu bragged and kept grinning with his sharp pearly white teeth as he spun around and checked himself out. He had no tail or horns! Everything about him was completely human!

"Don't get too into your self, lizard boy. If you don't have the girl by three days. You can kiss that human body goodbye!" Lian retorted which made Mushu roll his dark brown eyes that glimmered with some gold.

"I got this in the bag! If there is something I know how to do! I know how to make the ladies swoon~!" He chuckled and Lian shook her head doubtfully with another glare set on him.

"We will just have to see about that. Now get out of my shop before I decide to turn you back into a lizard again! Get out! Shoo!" Mushu was kicked to the curb as he went stumbling out of the soothsayer's little emporium. He glared back at the curtains that made up her door before looking into the crowds of lovey-dovey couples again. He could actually be seen to the public eye now! No more hiding in the shadows! He was free dragon- or well human…!

"Just wait until Mulan and everyone sees this! Their all gonna' be like 'Mushu, you lookin' HOT!' and I'll be all like 'Yeah, yeah I know!' You just can't contain this hot new bod right here!" Mushu kept grinning broadly and was now searching the crowds for you again. He had to find you or he might as well forget the mortal body and then go back to being dreadfully short and a dragon, which wouldn't work out with you too well. "Now where are you my sweet little cutie-pootie~? I know you're around here somewhere…" Mushu still being pretty short for a human, he was having trouble looking over the crowds of people. Pushing past people, he was feeling discouraged because he couldn't sight you anywhere. "Darn, how am I supposed to woo the girl if she isn't even around!" He muttered to himself.

It wasn't until he saw you again and this time you were there in another shop that sold an assortment of different Chinese trinkets, kinda like an antique store. Mushu's eyes remained on you and he sighed dreamily again as you were browsing the many novelties that the store supplied. Starting to head in your direction a very bizarre feeling was lurching inside his stomach, he didn't know if it was because of the fortune cookie messing with his stomach or what. But it was a twisting and turning feeling which actually were his nerves. He was never nervous but for once he wasn't quite sure of himself. He didn't want to end up looking like a fool in front of you, that's the last thing he would want.

Cruising up to the open store, he hung around the entrance and watched your every move. You were currently picking up a jade necklace that had a pendent of (your Chinese zodiac animal) on it. Mushu watched you look at the price tag on it and then sigh heavily and walk off to look at other things. Mushu took the initiative to rush on over to where the necklace was that you just picked up and examined. He held it in his hand and then looked off in the direction you walked. Closing it in his hand, he looked around himself cautiously for any prying eyes as he pocketed the necklace. 'Nobody will notice this is gone! I'm sure it will look so beautiful on her… Man, I don't even know her name yet! I gotta' get moving! Come on Mushu!' Mushu thought irritated with himself for moving so slowly. Walking 'casually' away from the display table of necklaces, he went to go follow you. Now you were looking at some creepy cheap fake golden statues that didn't represent the emperor very well.

Running his hand through his vibrant red hair, he tried to make the most charming smile he could before strutting over beside you. You don't look over at him at first, that was until he began talking. "Nice weather we're having, right?" Mushu said and then wanted to mentally kick him for bringing up the lamest ice-breaker to date. You glanced at him with your captivating eyes that made him stop breathing for a moment. Giving him a strange look, you nod your head.

"Yes, it is…" You reply softly and then turn your (e/c) eyes back to look at the cheap statues of the emperor. Mushu never panicked to say anything to anyone but for once in his immortal life he was struggling. Taking a deep breath, he looked down at the statues you were looking at, "Those are some freaky looking statues! They look nothin' like the emperor! Believe me, I've seen em' in person!" Mushu said while staring at you hoping you would at least look at him longer then two seconds this time. You did turn your head to look at him a little longer this time with a faint crooked smile appearing on your face.

"They are pretty disfigured… You've seen the emperor before? It must have been an honor."

Mushu puts his arms behind his head and nods with a grin, "Ohhh yeah, the emperor and I are pretty tight!" Mushu boasted and then looked back into your eyes, "Say, I saw you over here and couldn't help myself but wonder what your name is. You seem like a nice girl! If you wouldn't mind me sayin'!"

You looked at him skeptically, uncertain of him and his seemingly very lively personality. You didn't know why he was talking to you in the first place but you did notice he seemed to be flirting with you, rather obviously. Didn't he have a date or something the rest of the people in town? The last thing you wanted to delve into was a unfaithful guy cheating on his date for you. "Thank you… My name is (Y/n). Are you here looking for a gift for your date?" You ask while trying to shut him down from flirting with you. The red-head looked taken back by that and quickly shakes his head.

"NO!!! … I mean… no. Unlike all these other love-birds, I'm uh flying solo right now!" He said chucking nervously with a sheepish smile appearing on his face. You nod uninterestedly and start walking to look at other trinkets. He follows right at your side and was still determined to keep speaking to you. He was thrilled he got your name but that wasn't going to be enough, you seemed to keep blowing him off and that was something he was not going to settle with. He would win your heart if it was the last thing he did!

You stop from looking at porcelain panda bears and look at Mushu with slight surprise, "You're alone too, huh? I guess that makes us the bird of a feather. I was matched up with someone by the match maker yesterday but I sorta already dumped him. He kept talking about how great his muscles were the entire date."

"Muscle head, eh? You really don't strike me as that kinda girl. You seem more like a girl that's into guys like…"

"You?" You cut him off which made his eyes widen. He wasn't expecting you to say that and started stumbling around for a reply to that. He couldn't say yes because that would make him look like a puffed up arrogant jerk! You smirk at his bewildered expression and chuckle under your breath. "Its okay, I'm just kidding." You tell him which makes him straighten up and try to recollect his cool demeanor.

"Heh, funny." He finally replied. "But I do think I would be better then muscle head."

"Probably." You agreed with him and began go to pick up the cute porcelain panda into your hands carefully. Mushu was feeling overjoyed at the fact you actually would consider someone like him, he hardly noticed you went up to the shop keeper with the panda. "I'd like to purchase this, ma'am." You say an older stout chubby woman that was behind the counter. She smiled at you, showing her aged crooked teeth.

"Oh yes, of course! Very good choice!" She said enthusiastically. You nodded and took out the appropriate amount of coins for the porcelain panda bear and hand it over into her wrinkled hand. She said thank you and then turned back to what she was doing. You gaze down at the panda bear and Mushu had to ask.

"Cute panda bear, (Y/n)! What's it for?"

"Its for my grandmother, she is obsessed with panda bears. Unfortunately, she is not doing too well, so I wanted to get her something special for her." You tell Mushu and begin wandering out of the shop with him beside you. "By the way, I never caught your name."

Mushu's mouth fell open and he chuckled nervously. That was rude of him! Mentally kicking himself again, he smiled brightly at you and took your free hand into his own. Your eyes widen as he brings your hand to his lips and kisses it as he looks up at you from under his eyelashes, "Name's Mushu! It is a pleasure to meet such a beautiful girl like yourself!" Mushu said and made you blush somewhat. He was certainly a flirt this strange guy but something about him was oddly charming at the same time.

You glance away from his eyes as he kisses your hand but you couldn't help but smile faintly, "Uhm, thank you… Mushu." You reply and he smiles with his teeth showing. He loved the way you said his name so perfectly, he wanted to hear you say his name more often, preferably as 'my boyfriend Mushu'. Now he liked the sound of that!

"You're welcome~!" He said and reluctantly let your hand go so you wouldn't feel uncomfortable. "OH, by the way! I wanted you to have this! I saw you looking at it and thought it would look nice on you!" Mushu brought up and stuffed his hand into his pocket to pull out the jade necklace with (your Chinese zodiac animal). Your eyes broaden as he dangles the necklace in front of your face.

"Y-you got that for me!?" You say in surprise that a complete stranger would do such a thing. You did really want that necklace when you looked at it but you didn't have enough money on you to buy it, it was either the panda or the necklace. Your sick grandmother was much more important to you and your thoughtfulness seemed to pay off as you now got both of them!

"Yes, I did!" he confirmed with a grin and nod of the head. You reach out to take the jade necklace from him, he drops it into your hand and you go to clasp it around your neck. He eyes you as you place it around your neck, you look down at the pedant and smile.

"Thank you again, Mushu. I certainly wasn't expecting this. This is very kind of you. Is there something I can do to repay you? This necklace was rather expensive."

Mushu hadn't even bother to look at the price since he had stolen the necklace. He rubs the back of his head and smiles sheepishly, "Oh, don't worry your pretty little head about it! Although, now that I think of it there is something you could do!" He said as he got a plan on how to keep you around longer. It was the perfect moment to progress this into something more.

"And what is that?"

"How about you and I go out tomor-" Mushu was cut off when his ear was suddenly yanked on by the short fat old lady that had been the shop keep at the store. You look surprised as the old lady tugs on his ear roughly, producing repeated 'ow's' from Mushu.

"You are in big trouble you, little thief!" She hissed and began pulling him away by his ear back to her store. You stood there left in bewilderment as Mushu is flailing his arms and was trying to pull himself away from the vicious old lady.

"Hey! What gives!? Let go, grandma!"

"Not on your life! You work now!" She retorted with a low growl. Mushu stared at you in panic that he was about to lose his only chance to ask you on a date.

"TOMORROW! I'LL SEE YOU! OW, TOMORROW! GOODBYE, (Y/n) OWWW!" Mushu was drug away and thrown into the store where the old lady took a rag and a bucket and then pointed at the floors with a glower.

"You clean now! You repay debt to me for stealing necklace, dirty thief!"

Mushu groaned and was quickly regretting stealing the necklace. How did she even know!? He was certainly meeting a lot of feisty mean old women today. Taking the rag, he was forced to his knees to clean as the old woman kept threatening to beat him with a broom she also had gotten out.

You stood on the street with a confused expression before shrugging to yourself. "What a strange guy…" You murmur to yourself but find yourself smiling as you look down at your necklace's pendent. Walking back through the crowds to go home, you kinda hoped you would see this Mushu fellow again.

☯----------------☯

Mushu had spend hours the day before cleaning for the old lady to make amends for the necklace he had stolen for you. It was a long tedious job but it was at least worth it to see you smile the way you did. 'I'd do it again…' Mushu thought in a daze as he sat in front of the Fa ancestor's shrine. The ancestors had already found out he was human and, of course, they all laughed at him and told him he would fail. But Mushu was not going to give in easily, he went against the odds before with the Huns. He could certainly fight the odds again and win your heart over!

Mushu sighed dreamily and then went to stand up. It was time to go see if he could find you. Just maybe if he was lucky he could find you and the two of you could spend time together (with no more vicious old ladies ruining the occasion). "I'll show em' all! (Y/n), here I come!" Mushu began sprinting towards the town, passing by Mulan who furrowed her brows and had to make a double take when she saw the strangely familiar man run by.

Once Mushu was in town, thankfully the festival of love was over with. Although, the streets were still as crowded as the day before, just with less lovestruck couples walking on by. "Now where could (Y/n) be? …" He said to himself thoughtfully as he looked through the crowds the best he could considering he was still short for a human.

"(Y/n)~ Oh, (Y/nnn!) Where oh where can you be~?" Mushu slipped through the crowds a bit clumsily and kept looking around and hoping to catch sight of you somewhere in the marketplace like before. He eventually found you browsing in front of a fruit vendor. He was about to saunter on over until he noticed there was someone else with you. A large muscular man was saying something to you while you seemed to be attempting to ignore him as you looked through the fruits. Mushu grit his teeth and felt a wave of jealousy rush through him. 'Whose that muscle-head? He better steer clear of my (Y/n) or so help me I'll… I'll do something!' Mushu thought with a glare over to Mr. Muscles.

"So you and I want to take a little time together. I can show you some more of my mad skills."

"I told you once and I'll tell you again. I'm not interested, Wang." You tell the muscle head that happened to be the same guy you had broke up with two days ago that the match maker had picked for you.

Mushu frowned as he watched this 'Wang' character keep following you around and trying to persuade you to go on another date with him. Wang stepped in front of you which made you halt in you tracks and glare up at him. He leered forwards and was about to get physical with you until Mushu couldn't take it anymore and ran over. Puffing out his chest he pointed at Wang dramatically.

"You get away from Miss. (Y/n!). She said she's not interested! So that means 'beat it!"

Wang was about to grab onto your arm but stopped when Mushu came up. Wang narrowed his dark brown eyes and cracked his knuckles, "And just who are you, puny brat? You can't tell me what to do." He said and chuckled when Mushu stepped over closer and tried to look intimidating but it was hard since he only came up to Wang's chest in height. "You trying to start a fight, squirt?" He questioned with a deep glower. Mushu gulped and was hoping that he would be able to scare the guy off but it didn't seem to be working. Now if only he was in his dragon form, he could have blown fire up this guy's butt and made him go crying to mommy!

"Wang, leave Mushu alone!" You intervene and go to stand in front of Mushu protectively. Wang snorts and glares over your shoulder at Mushu who was glaring him back.

"Why? Is he your boyfriend or something? Didn't think you worked that fast, (Y/n)." Wang went to push you out of the way and go back at Mushu. You looked concern for your new red-haired friend from yesterday. Wang loved to start fights and by all the muscle he had at his disposal he could easily really hurt Mushu.

"I'm going to pummel this little punk into a pancake." Wang laughed as he pulled back his arm and threw a heavy haymaker at Mushu. The short dragon turned human gasped and fearfully ducked down away from the punch. You also gasp and start yelling at Wang to stop. Mushu was hardly expecting to start a fight but he had to win or he would look pitiful in front of you! "Come on and fight back!"

"There's no need for violence!" You assert and try grabbing onto Wang's arm to make him stop but he retaliates by throwing you to the side and making you fall onto your backside on the ground. Mushu gasps and then bares his sharp teeth for doing what he did to you.

"That's not way to treat a lady! Just wait until I tell Mulan about this! She'll kick your butt alongside her boyfriend Commander Shang! Ya' hear?"

Wang was about to throw another punch at Mushu but looked shocked when he heard Mushu bring up Mulan and Shang. "You mean the same Fa Mulan who stopped the Huns?!" He replied and looked aghast. Mushu nodded confidently and put his hands onto his hips.

"Oh yeah! We're real close friends! And once I tell them that you're giving (Y/n) and me trouble. They'll come and find you and kick your butt just like they did the Huns!"

Wang growled and looked much more reluctant to keep fighting. He tossed a glare down at you on the ground and then at Mushu who was trying to still look brave in the face of danger. "You both aren't even worth my time." He finally said and went storming off, obviously in fear of evoking the wrath of Mulan or Shang.

"Yah better run!" Mushu said with a snort before turning to look down at you. You were still on the ground and looking up at Mushu with a light smile.

"Thank you, Mushu for getting rid of that terrible man. He just doesn't get that I'm not interested in him." You tell him and were surprised when Mushu extended a hand out for you to take. You faintly blush and clasp onto his hand with a brighter smile. "Thank you…" You murmur and he grins back at you like it was no big deal.

"Of course, you're welcome! I wouldn't let that big' ol muscle head bully bother you. Are you alright by the way? You hit the ground pretty hard there." Mushu said with concern as he looked you up and down for any injury. You shook your head and kept smiling.

"I'm okay… Better now that you're here." You say which makes him blush almost as red as his hair. Seeing that you are okay, he chuckles and decides to bring up a different topic.

"Hey, I'm real sorry for vanishing so suddenly on you yesterday. I had a little bit of issues with mean old women yesterday. What I was meaning to ask you is if you might be interested in uh spending some more time with me. So we can get to know each other better!" Mushu brought up and tried not to get nervous but it was so hard, especially with you staring at him with those beautiful (e/c) eyes of yours. You take in what he said. He was asking you on a date? You for some reason felt very compelled to agreeing and you didn't know why. Perhaps, it would only be fair since he not only bought you a gorgeous necklace but he also saved you from Wang.

You smile softly at him and nod, "That would sound delightful, Mushu. I'm not really doing anything right now, anyways."

Mushu's heart rejoiced inside his chest that had also picked up in pace at an extreme speed at your acceptance. You were just too adorable! He just wanted to grab you there and kiss you but he knew his boundaries and he wouldn't go there… just yet. "Ha! That's great! Then let us embark on our little rendezvous~! There's so much we can do together!" Mushu exclaimed excitedly and took your hand into his own, making both of you blush. He was about to stroll onwards but he paused dumbly and looked at you with some sheepishness "… What do you want to do?"

You giggled at his cute demeanor and made a thoughtful face, "We could look around the marketplace and then maybe get something to eat?" You bring up and he instantly nods like you came up with the perfect idea.

"Sounds like a plan! Let's get moving, beautiful!" Mushu grins and was full of nothing but pure delight as he starts walking with you at his side. This day already couldn't get any better then it was turning out to be.
