Mulan tries to please her father and family. Mulan is supposed to go to get herself ready for the matchmaker. Then she got dressed and cleaned and was ready to go to the matchmaker.

At the Matchmaker's place the cricket Cri-Kee(her grandma gave her) flew out of the cage and then flies around her. The matchmaker asked Mulan to recite this poem and she did but cheated because she wrote what she supposed to be saying in her arm. Then the match maker grabbed her hand and right on the writing and got ink in her hand. Then the Matchmaker asked her to pour the tea. The matchmaker put her hands (which had ink) on her face Mulan looked at her and poured the tea on the but she realized she poured it on the table. She poured it in the teacup. Cri-Kee was in the teacup. Then the matchmaker took it and then trouble begins. The matchmaker was mad at Mulan. "You may look like a perfect bride but you will never bring your family honor!"shouted the matchmaker in fury.

Mulan was dissapointed because she she messed up and she wanted to bring honor to her family. Then Mulan sat in the garden. Her father came and didn't yell or blow up at Mulan. Instead he commented on the blossoms. Then the emperor's consel came and announced that the Huns are invading China and that every male member from each family must serve in the imperial army and handed out conscription notice for each member.

Mulan dosen't want her father to go because he is old and she dosen't want him to die in a war.

At night when everybody is sleeping Mulan goes and steals her fathers notice and his armor. Then she disguises herself as a boy and ran away from home. Then she arrived at the camp.

Mulan's grandmother said the prayer to the ancestors. The ancestor heard her prayer and decided to send a family guardian. They called Mushu to wake up the Great Stone Dragon. Mushu tried to wake up the Great Stone Dragon but he hit it's ear with his gong and then the whole Great Stone Dragon broked. It's head was intact. One of the ancestor asked if the Great Stone Dragon awakened. Mushu pretended he was a Great Stone Dragon with it's head on. That ancestor didn't find out it was Mushu. Then Mushu fell with the head of the Great Stone Dragon and was in big trouble.

Then Cri-Kee came and Mushu had a great idea. His idea was to make Mulan a war hero and the ancestors would beg him to come back and be a Guardian. So he and Cri-Kee ran off to find Mulan.

Mushu found Mulan and they go to the camp. "Soldiers!"he called to get everybody's attention because they were fighting.

"He started it!"they all pointed at Mulan.

"What is your name?"asked Shang.

Mulan didn't make up a name. Mushu tried to come up with names for her. Shang was impatient. Finally Mushu got a name for Mulan.

"My name is Ping."said Mulan.

"Let me see your conscription notice,"said Shang

MThere at the camp Captain Shang trained the solders. The hardest thing ever was getting the arrow from the post with these two heavy weights strength and discipline. Mulan tries to get the arrow with strength and discipline. She worked hard and finally got the arrow.
