Late that night, Merida snuck out of the house to mail the letter. She had to do it quick because of 2 reasons. 1. Soldiers were out. 2. 花木兰 would be a nervous wreck if she knew Merida was gone. She slipped the letter in the mail carrier and got out of the post office area ninja-style. "PLEASE get to Scotland!" she silently prayed. The young archer started walking slower as she got closer to the house.

"Be as quiet as possible!" Merida told herself. Just as she was heading back to her room, she heard a noise. She hid a muffled scream. As she gathered up the guts and headed towards the sound, she felt dumbfounded when she knew what it was. It was John snoring pretty loudly. "You nearly had me!" Merida whispered angrily. She trotted back to her room quietly.

While in her room, the rebellious princess couldn't help but laugh at what had just went down. "Shang is usually the one makin' all that racket!" Merida laughed. She laughed for about a good 5 to 10 minutes. After the good laugh, she realized something important-she had cornered her little bit of anger with laughter! "Oh My Lord!" she beamed. This was one step closer into shutting down the demon inside her. Just thinking about it, she dozed off into a blissful sleep.

Merida woke up late the 下一个 day. It was real late when she finally got to sleep. "I better go check on Pocahontas." she stated as she dragged herself out of bed. "Wingapo!" Pocahontas greeted cheerfully. "Hey!" Merida replied. "You missed breakfast." Pocahontas said. "Yeah, uh, John was snorin' pretty dern loudly." Merida lied. Actually, most of that lie was true. There's no telling how many times John woke Merida up!

"He was tired." Pocahontas said. "I bet!" Merida agreed. "After that scare..." she paused. A tingly feeling suddenly formed inside her. "Is something troubling you?" Pocahontas asked. "My mom. She's pregnant and...What if she loses the baby 或者 goes into labor early? 或者 worse, what if the baby dies when it's born?" Merida exploded. "Merida, don't worry about those things. As long as she's taking it easy on herself, she'll be fine." Pocahontas reassured.

"You're right. I guess I feel overly foolish for not checking on her sooner." Merida explained. "She knows you're having a great time in China." Pocahontas replied. Merida smiled at herself. "She's always wanted to try the 食物 from here. She might even have a pregnancy cravin' for it." she joked. "You know, I haven't had any odd cravings." Pocahontas said. "You're lucky! When my mom was pregnant with my brothers, all she wanted to eat durin' her 5th 月 was 芦笋 topped with vanilla frosting." Merida told. Pocahontas liked to have laughed her high-end off.

"Me dad and I liked to have gagged!" Merida replied trying not laugh as hard as her. "I remember when 花木兰 had that craving for 白饭, 大米 topped with extra hot sauce!" Pocahontas reminisced. The two laughed and talked for what seemed like hours on end. It was just like the time they met. Even though 花木兰 was missing, they had an absolute blast! "Dinner will be ready soon." 花木兰 chimed. "How's Ping?" Pocahontas asked. "He's doing better." 花木兰 answered. Ping was in pain alot that 日 to terrible teething. Pocahontas and Merida washed up for dinner.
