Meanwhile, Alex-Yee-Beans landed with a thud in Shan-Paul's hideout. Shan-Paul had his back turned, and did not see him or Mulan. Mulan had been knocked unconscious when she was transported. Alex went to pick her up.

"Mulan," he said as he held her in his arms, "are you all right?" It was no use; Mulan was still unconscious. Alex then made a break to the exit.

SNAP! Alex stepped on a twig, and then Shan-Paul turned around.

"Who's there?" said Shan-Paul.

"The tooth fairy!" replied Alex.

"Oh, really..... I've been waiting for you for years!!! I knew Shan-Yu was lying when he said you weren't real!! Oh goodie, now I can trade all my teeth in! Yippee!"

"Uh...huh.... Uh, yes give me all your teeth and I'll give you a big surprise!"

"Yippee! I'm glad I saved all the teeth of the people I've killed!! Here are mine! I'll have to go to the back room to get the other thousand." He then took out some pliers and pulled out his slimy green teeth. He then handed them to Alex, who had hidden Mulan behind a rock.

"Ummm... thank you..." Alex said, repulsed.

Shan-Paul then headed to the back room. Seeing his chance, Alex picked up Mulan and ran away with her.

Shan-Paul then returned with a HUGE bagful of teeth, "Hey where are you? Grrrrrr....... You tricked me!!!! Next time we meet, Mr. Tooth Fairy, you will die!!!!! Wait a second," he said as he picked up some fabric from Mulan's dress. "She was here! That must've been Alex!!! Now I must revenge on both of them!!! Nobody makes a fool of Shan-Paul!!!" He then turned around and walked straight into a wall. "Owww!! Mommie!!!"

Meanwhile, Jam-Yai found Pa-Tria at her house drinking tea with Shang.

"NOOOOOO!!!!" Jam-Yai screamed. "You can't have him! He's mine!!!"

"He's mine you witch!!" replied Pa-Tria. "Tell her, Shang."

"I Love Pa-Tria!" said Shang in a hypnotizd voice.

"See, Jam-Yai?! He loves me!!!"

"No he doesn't! You just hypnotized him! How cruel! I would never stoop that low!!!"

"What are you talking about? You already hypnotized him!"

"Well, that's not the point. The thing is that only I may hypnotize him because he's mine! We have that type of relationship, ya know!"

"Don't make me laugh! Oh wait a second, I already am laughing! Hahahaha!"

"Don't mock me!" Jam-Yai then pointed her medallion at Pa-Tria. A thunderbolt then shocked Pa-Tria.

"How dare you!" said Pa-Tria, shocked, literally. "Take this!" She then threw fireballs at Jam. Jam countered with more thunderbolts.

"What's going on out there?!" said a mysterious voice. "Jam-Yai! Pa-Tria! Are you 2 fighting again!"

"Uhhhh.... no mom!"

"Yes you are, aren't you?! I'm coming out there!" Jam and Pa's mother then stepped out of the house. "Ohhh, I see you have company. He sure is a cutie." She then approached Shang, who just got out of his hypnotic phase. "Hey there! My name's Jenn-Lee! Wait a minute?! You look very familiar!"

"Huh? What happened? Where am I? Mom?! What are you doing here?!" Shang said.

"MOM?!" Jam and Pa-Tria said.....

Part VII

"Mom!?" Jam-Yai said, "EEEEEWWWWW!!!! That means Shang's our brother!!! I traded my youth and beauty for my brother!!! Ugggghhhh!!! I feel so.... dirty... Ummm, Shang, everything I said and did.... forget it, o.k.?"

"Wait a minute!" exclaimed Pa-Tria. "If he's our brother, how come we've never seen him before!"

"I think I can answer that," said Jenn-Lee. "When I first had Shang I had high hopes for him. I wanted him to be someone strong, courageous, and brave!"

"Yeah, so," said Pa-Tria, "he became a soldier. Wasn't that your dream?"

"Actually, no. I wanted him to become a baker, like I was. When his father said no, and that he would become a soldier, I knew I wasn't needed there. And so, I came here... I knew Shang's father could teach him than I could. I wanted a daughter to teach how to bake. My husband didn't want a girl. I needed to teach someone my craft, my life's work. The legacy of BAKER'S had to continue!!!"

"Wait a minute," said Jam-Yai, "Shang's looks the same age as us!"

"Ahem..." said Pa-Tria.

"Well, he looks the same age as Pa-Tria. Happy?! Anyway, how can that be?"

"Well, actually," replied Jenn-Lee, "You two aren't my real daughters. You see one night an ugly woman came to my house. It was raining, and she said that if I gave her shelter she'd give me a rose. Well, I refused. And then she turned into a beautiful enchantress... whoops, wrong story. Actually, I was a maid for your mother... One day she disappeared, so I decided to take care of you. I told you when you were young to not call me mom, but you insisted."

"So that means we aren't really Shang's sisters?" said Jam-Yai, "YES!!! Ummm Shang, I still like you!"

"Mom, come back with me to the village..." said Shang.

"I can't," Jenn-Lee said, "My life is here, besides, after shoplifting from the marketplace I knew I could never go back... whoops!"

"What did you say mom?" said Shang.

"Uhhh.... nothing..." replied Jenn-Lee.

"Soooo," said Pa-Tria, "WHO'S OUR REAL MOM?!"

"I'M RIGHT HERE!!!" said an ominous voice... Jam and Pa turned around, and stared straight into the eyes of Mulan!

"Mulan?!" said Pa-Tria. "You're our mother?! I knew you were an old hag, but I didn't think you were that old!"

"Ummm," said Mulan, "I think she said it." Mulan pointed at a hooded figure behind her.

"I am XENA, WARRIOR PRINCESS!!!" said the voice.

"HUH?!" said Jam-Yai.

"I mean I am Em-Chai, WARRIOR QUEEN!!”
