Nightfall had come, but Shang and John still weren't back yet. "I'm getting worried." Mulan said. "John sometimes likes to explore the different scenes at night. He probably took Shang with him." Pocahontas reassured. Mulan thought for a minute. "You're right, Pocahontas. I'm sure if it becomes too late for them to come back, they'll set up camp and come back in the morning." she stated. Merida, however, got really nervous. *What if something happened to them?* she asked herself. Pocahontas stared at her as if she were a book.

"Merida, I know those boys. I'm sure nothing happened to them." she reassured. "You know the land." Merida replied starting to calm down. There was also a load of nervousness lifting off Mulan's shoulders. Ever since she silently revealed her pregnancy, she was able to relax. She still thought about how she was going to tell Shang, but this time, she could do it without tension. "I AM getting kinda hungry." she said to herself. "Me too! I'm starving!" Merida replied. Pocahontas must be a mind-reader because she got the food ready when Mulan and Merida said those things! They soon sat down to eat.

John and Shang were on a mountain over-looking the whole Jamestown colony. "Beautiful, isn't it?" John remarked. "I'm speechless!" Shang answered in barely a whisper. After what Shang had to go through for the past week, he felt like he was getting the best therapy in the world. "In all sympathy, I'm deeply sorry about your father." John comforted. Shang took a deep breath. "I guess some things happen for no reason." he said.

John hopped down from a medium-sized rock. "Sometimes, they happen in least ways we expect." he said as he put his hand on Shang's shoulder. "I'm glad me and Mulan have people like you as our friends." Shang confessed. He and John took one last look at the sights before heading back to the cottage. They got sort of side-tracked when they mistakingly went the wrong way. John realized that fact an hour later. By the time they got back to their starting point, it was very late, so they agreed to set up camp.

Merida couldn't sleep. She started worrying about the boys again. Pocahontas and Mulan were sleeping peacefully as they knew before going to bed their respective loves were smart enough to return the next morning. However, that didn't sit well with Merida. There was a feeling inside her that she couldn't ignore. Shang and John stranded, alone, starving, sick, the list could go on with that thought. That moment, Merida knew what she had to do. She grabbed bow and went to look for them.
