New chapter is up! Some things I want to clear up. First of all this isn't the end of the story (obviously) there are five more chapters after this one before I start the next one. Everyone of the core six (Mal, Jay, Evie, Shane, Carlos, and Gabby) have their own chapter (this is Shane's). I have decided to do it in the order they leave the castle like this: Shane, Jay, Evie, Carlos, Gabby and lastly Mal. It took a long time to get this up and I am sorry (I got distracted by Youtube, Netflix, Tower of Dawn, and school work. I also wanted to get a set up for the next story so the first chapter would be ready to go up as soon as this story finished (first chapter of the next story is done). On the plus side it gave people a chance to catch up if they fell behind.

Alkaline: Thank you for that I had no idea what it meant although I didn't think it was insulting or anything (well at least not to me :)) I added the villain perspective in this not only because no one ever does it but also I always wondered what was going through their heads during this. Shane is in this chapter, Jay is in the next, and Evie is in the following one so you got your wish. I wasn't really sure how to get Clara off the Isle but I didn't want Ace to have to face Cruella at the moment although there may be a time where he does. A Jay, Aladain, and Cassim (Cassim is Aladain's father) thieving constant would be so much fun. I want him to try and meet everyone too.

Danifan3000: That is a good question. Some people say they wouldn't view each other as sisters but I am so confused by that relationship. I feel like Snow might be more motherly but I am not sure how I will play that out. Anita already meet Carlos during Family Day but she hasn't seen Clara yet. Carlos and Clara will be interacting with everyone from that family though and navigating fully grown dogs in large numbers. I think it is kind of cool that Anita knew Cruella prior to the events of 101 Dalmatians.

Agentwalkof: Gabby is last just because of the way I have it set up but a Clara Gabby one-shot may show up. For the one-shots you mentioned a Gabby Shane chapter and I have one in mind I just need to introduce some new characters. I might be able to slip a Clara Gabby scene either in Carlos's chapter or Gabby's.

DragonEmperor999: It isn't over yet.

Roxas Istuka: I am glad you are enjoying. I am also very happy that you said I developed my characters well. It was an issue I had the last time I wrote this story. Everyone seems to like Shane (not that I am complaining he is getting more developed) but I enjoy writing Gabby (then again I am known for liking the weird characters :p). Shane gets a chapter now.

Living with Warriors

The day was here for Shane to move to his new home and he is still nervous. He had packed up the few belongings he had and was waiting for someone to pick him up from the castle. None of them could legally drive so they had to wait till their new found 'parents' picked them up.

"Hello Shane," came a feminine voice to his left. Shane turned to see Mulan standing there a smile on her face.

"Oh, hey Mulan where is Shang?" Shane asked. He was nervous that Mulan was the one picking him up.

"When Shang went to pick up a little girl from the Isle he noticed the barrier surrounding the Isle was open. He informed King Ben that there was a hole open in the barrier which of course is how Maleficent escaped. So, he was temporally moved out with Fairy Godmother to fix the barrier," Mulan explained.

"Oh," Shane said frowning slightly. He felt Ben poke him in the back.

"Give it a chance," he breathed into his ear. Ben must have come out to check up on him.

"Will he will be home later?" Shane asked. He knew it would easier to get along with Shang then Mulan. Shane was still wary of Mulan.

"He will be home for dinner. In the meantime, I am going to help you settle in," Mulan said with a smile. Shane shrugged.

"I guess that will be ok," he said sounding unsure of himself. Mulan didn't comment on it. The two of them got into Mulan's jeep and headed up to the farm she lived on with Shang. The farm house had been rebuilt and expanded to accommodate the ever-growing family. When the jeep stopped Shane squeezed himself out of the jeep and glanced around. There was a pasture where a large black horse and a white horse were grazing contently. Mulan noticed Shane watching the horses with great interest.

"The black is Khan my horse and the white is Shang's horse," Mulan explained.

"Can I pet them?" Shane asked. He loved horses and had always been very interested in them.

"Of course, Shane," Mulan said. She led him over to the fence and whistled to the horses. Both came obediently. Khan's ears twitched nervously but once he realized Mulan wasn't afraid of the boy the stallion let Shane pet him. Shang's horse was indifferent.

"Dad let me care for the horses of the army but these are better," Shane said. Mulan smiled.

"Well maybe you can get the chance to ride them some," Mulan told him and Shane's face lit up. "Let's head inside first though I want you to meet some people," Mulan told him. Shane reluctantly left the horses and grabbed his bag before following Mulan into the house. Shane had a pretty good idea with who he was meeting and he was kind of nervous. Fortunately, when he got into the dining room only Lonnie was there.

"Lonnie would you grab your brother, grandparents and grandma please," Mulan asked her only daughter. Lonnie looked up.

"Oh, hey Shane what are you doing here?" she asked.

"Shane needed a place to stay during the summer and breaks so Ben asked if he could stay here and we have agreed," Mulan explained.

"Sweet," Lonnie said then ran off. It didn't take long for several people to crowd into the room.

"Shane these are my parents Fa Zhou, and Fa Li. This is my grandmother, Grandma Fa, and I think you already know Lonnie. My eldest is Li'l Shang or Shang Jr.," Mulan explained pointing to each person as she gave their name. Shane coughed.

"Hello," he said. He didn't show any outward signs of nervousness but on the inside, he was anxious. He would have to live with these people and he was worried he would get a reaction like the one Mal got from Queen Leah.

"He looks familiar," Grandma Fa said. Mulan chuckled.

"Grandma we had this discussion already. Of course, he looks familiar he is the son of Shan Yu remember," she said. The older woman laughed.

"I remember Mulan I was just messing with him," Grandma Fa said. Mulan's parents shook their heads but there were smiles on their faces.

"We have a weird family," Shang Jr. said grinning. Shane gave a small laugh.

"I wouldn't know," he said. Before anyone could say anything, the door was pushed open. A dog came barking and running into the room slipping on the floor and sliding. Following him was a cricket and a dragon.

"Oh no," Mulan said with a small sigh.

"What's wrong?" Shane asked.

"Mushu was the only one mom didn't tell that you were coming besides me. She couldn't find him," Lonnie explained.

"So, this ought to be funny," Li'l Shang said.

"So Mulan I was wondering where you went off to and I was just….HE'S BACK!" Mushu shouted. Shane flinched.

"Mushu would you knock it down a level," Mulan reprimanded. "You are going to give the kid a heart attack," Mulan added.

"I am sorry who is going to give who a heart attack," Mushu asked. Shane turned to leave the last thing he wanted was to cause problems with his new family.

"Shane don't leave Mushu can be annoying sometimes," Lonnie told the boy.

"Me annoying?" Mushu asked as if he couldn't believe what Lonnie was telling him. Lonnie nodded.

"Yes, Mushu mom told us the stories," Lonnie said a mischievous grin on her face.

"Shang honey why don't you help Shane settle in," Mulan suggested.

"Come on Shane," Li'l Shang said and he led the way up the stairs. Shane followed giving Mushu a wide birth. He wasn't scarred of the dragon lizard but he didn't want to have to relive an experience like Mal had with Queen Leah.

The room that Li'l Shang showed him was pretty basic. The doors to both Shang Jr.'s room and Lonnie's were closed so Shane couldn't see them. Lonnie had her own bathroom but Shane would have to share with Li'l Shang. Shane didn't mind though. The room was better than the tent he would typically sleep in back on the Isle. Once Shane settled in he joined the family in the dining room waiting for dinner. He hung outside at first till Lonnie insisted he come in. Mushu wasn't there (much to Shane's relief).

"Dad you're home!" Lonnie cried when Shang walked in. Shang grinned at his only daughter and accepted a kiss from Mulan before turning to Shane.

"You settled in Shane?" Shang asked. The big boy nodded.

"I think so. I am not used to being able to spread out or anything like that. Dad and I used to move around a lot on the Isle we never really stayed in one place," Shane said.

"Why?" Shang Jr. asked. His father held the bridge of his nose.

"Weren't you paying any attention when I gave you that lesson on the enemies of China?" Shang asked his son. The boy flushed.

"Sorry dad it was kind of long…and boring," Li'l Shang said. Shane had to bite his lip to keep from laughing. Shang shook his head and it was Mulan who answered the question.

"The Huns are known to move around. They are nomads meaning they don't generally stay in one place," Mulan said.

"Really?" Lonnie asked interested. Shane nodded confirmation.

"Dad says that we should never stay in one place. We should keep our options open," Shane told them.

"I suppose that would be his reason for trying to invade China," Shang Jr. said thoughtfully.

"Maybe I always just thought he liked the weather in China," Shane said shrugging.

"Or the food," Mulan said interrupted the discussion and placed their dinner on the table. That was all it took especially for Shane who was almost always hungry. The meal was mostly in silence seeing how everyone was simply enjoying the food. After they finished eating Lonnie helped her mom clean up the kitchen while Shane and Shang went up to the former's room. Shane figured Shang would want to talk with him more one on one.

"So, Shane there are some things I want to talk to you about. First Mulan said you were awfully quiet this morning I was just wondering if everything was ok. Second of all I know it is going to take some time for you to settle in but everyone on the farm has chores they are to do and I wanted you to be able to do something you love or at least can tolerate," Shang told the boy. Shane nodded to tell Shang he understood.

"Well I have to admit I was pretty nervous when Ben told me that you guys were willing to take me. I saw the way Queen Leah reacted to Mal during Family Day and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to deal with that. I still don't know how I feel about living here no offence. As for the second thing if I have to do chores which I had to do on the Isle anyway I want to look after the horses I love horses," Shane said.

"Not everyone is so stubborn as Queen Leah. She was out of line during Family Day but trust me not everyone is like that in Auradon. I know it will take some time for you to feel comfortable here but know that Mulan, her parents, her grandmother, and I are all here to help you through it. You can talk to us about anything and we are looking forward to getting to know you more. As for the horses, be my guest. Lonnie and Shang Jr. used to take turns looking after them but I could tell they had other places they would rather be," Shang told him.

"Thanks Shang," Shane said still not feeling comfortable to call him dad anytime soon. Shang touched his shoulder then left him to think on things. Shane looked around the room feeling at ease. He might still be nervous but Shang and Mulan were welcoming and open and even Mulan's parents had been kind to him.

The following morning Shane was up when the roaster called and was the first one down for breakfast besides Mulan and Shang. Shang gave him a wink which Shane grinned at. Lonnie and her brother came down shortly after him and they eat breakfast together. Shane then headed out to the stables. There were the two horses he had saw yesterday, Khan and Shang's horse, both grazing out in the field. In a small pen, seemingly by herself was a solid black filly. Her green eyes watching him as he approached.

"Shang?" Shane called.

"What?" the guard asked.

"Who is that?" Shane asked pointing to the filly.

"She doesn't have a name yet. She was born a week ago. When Belle and Beast got married everyone gave them a wedding gift and when King Ben was born everyone got him a gift. Now when he announces his lady of the court in about six months everyone will give her a gift. It is tradition. She is our gift to the lady of the court," Shang explained.

"Oh," was all Shane could say. Things like that weren't done on the Isle. Mal had never said she got anything for being Maleficent's heir save for a small chunk of her name.

"I was thinking once you are done here maybe we could go for a ride through our part of the kingdom if you want," Shang said sensing that he should avoid the topic for now. Shane grinned.

"That would be great," he said. When he finished looking after the horses Shang helped him tack up Khan. Shang had made sure that they each had lunch tugged in their saddlebags and the two were off. Khan didn't try to throw Shane or bite him as they moved through the various villages of Northern Wei and Shang pointed them out from a distance. Khan was enjoying himself as well although Shang's horse was a little more subdued. If the villagers felt threatened by him they sure hid it well. Shang glanced over at Shane and noticed the smile on the boy's face he hid whenever he thought Shang was looking.

"I love this," Shane said stroking Khan's mane.

"I am glad," Shang said.

Hope you guys liked it. I hope you guys like it. Despite what you might get from this chapter I do love Mushu but it is always been my thought that he would give any child of Shan Yu's a tough time. The foal was a recent adaption and in case there is any confusion her sire is Khan. Jay is up next. He will leave the castle shortly after Shane.
