Chapter 52: Be A Man

Flynn collapsed spread eagle. Motionless, he spoke into the ground. "I have no more feeling from the eyebrows down. My muscles have turned to Jell-O. Make the bad man stop!"

"I may never be able have kids." Aladdin moaned, falling backwards onto Flynn. Painfully he raised his legs into the air. "Air out guys. Air out. Ouch!"

"Would you two get up?" Mulan said, poking Aladdin and Flynn with her sneaker. Leaning over, she smoothed fly-aways into her sweaty hair. "Come on. We still have ten minutes to go."

"Rambo is over there." Flynn lifted a finger in Shang's direction. " Besides; Coach Phil already kicked the crap out of us in Warrior Class."

"Um hello? Hellllo? You're Warriors?" Mushu – Mulan's magical pet dragon – suddenly said. Haughtily, Mushu swung off Mulan's tank top. "It's called double training, ya limp noodle!"

"I think." Aladdin mumbled flexing his legs over his face. "I'd rather die. Then maybe get a slushy."

"Guys!" Mulan growled. Exasperated, she turned as Jim approached. He was panting and drenched in sweat. "Never mind. Come on Mushu. Jim. Let's go."

"Five more minutes!" Mushu roared, clicking a stop watch. "Come on hup, hup, hup!"

"That lizard ever shut up?" Jim aked. Sweat trickled between his shoulder blades as he jogged after Mulan.

"Hey dra-gon, not lizard!" Mushu said, bouncing on Mulan's shoulder. "I don't do that tongue thing. Wup, here's another hill! Sprint!"

Like a firecracker, Mulan charged up the hill. She waited for Jim at the top.

"Come on." Mulan encouraged, running in place. "Five more minutes. Down the hill and twenty push ups. Then we're done."

Jim nodded. Sweat stung in his eyes. "You really get into this, huh?"

"If you were a girl from East Sector," Mulan said between breathes. "You would too."

Jim tied to keep up. "Why?" he panted, trailing Mulan down the hill.

Gradually, Mulan slowed to a trot. "Because it's all about honor in the East Sector. Honor for boys comes through physical and mental strength. Honor for girls..." Mulan spit. The lather stuck to her lips like cotton. "Honor for girls comes through marriage. Ready for the push ups?"

Jim grunted. Dropping, he began the set. "Sounds like fun."

Mulan shook her head. "Jasmine and Esmeralda – whew – are from the Eastern Sector too. Phew. They know – aiya!"

"Come on, Girl!" Mushu jumped on her back. "He's showing you up!"

Grimacing, Mulan pumped her body up and down. "In Eastern Sector – phew – girls are supposed to be – whew – quiet – demure – graceful – polite – delicate – refined – poised – "

"STUDENTS! Freeze! Everyone freeze!"

Jim stopped. He rested on his knees Captain Li Shang marched over Mulan.

"Fa? What were those?"

Mulan wiped her brow. Mushu darted for cover. "Push ups."

"Really? You call those push ups? Students! Over here, Everyone assemble."

Sun gleaming over his uniform, Shang waited for the students to gather. Then, he pointed to the ground. "Okay Fa. Show everyone your push up."

Mulan obeyed, without hesitation.
