Pocahontas excitedly continued to climb the albero as Mulan and Merida reluctantly followed. Mulan had to be careful because of the baby. "We're almost there!" Pocahontas called. "Thank goodness!" Mulan detto breathlessly. "Are te alright, Lass?" Merida asked. "Oh, I'm fine." Mulan answered. "We're here!" Pocahontas called again. She helped Mulan and Merida up into the "sacred place" up in the tall oak tree.

"Look closely." she instructed. "Nothing's happening." Mulan replied. "Look with your heart." Pocahontas stated. Mulan and Merida looked a the albero again. Suddenly, a face appeared! Mulan and Merida screamed and acted like they wanted to get away from there. "Don't be afraid, children." the albero detto calmly. "IT TALKS!" Mulan yelled.

"And I thought Mulan's lucertola was scary!" Merida replied. Mulan gave her a dirty look. Pocahontas just giggled slightly. "I must admit-John was also a bit frightened when HE was introduced." she said. "To who?" Merida asked dumbfoundedly. Pocahontas hid a stray laugh. "You're looking at her now. This is Grandmother Willow." she answered.

"This OAK albero has a NAME?" Mulan questioned. "I thought now would be a great time for me to introduce te to her." Pocahontas replied. "And such beautiful girls they are!" Grandmother Willow detto about Mulan and Merida. "I've told her about te as well." Pocahontas confessed. "Wait. She knows about us?" Mulan questioned again. Pocahontas nodded. "OK. What do te know about us so far?" Merida asked.

"You must be Princess Merida. A free spirit te are. Just like your father, yet just like your loving mother." Grandmother Willow answered. Merida was surprised. "Recovering from a horrendous infection, te have such might in yourself that simply cannot be broken!" Grandmother Willow continued. Merida looked at her leg. The scar was still there, but the wound itself was completely healed. "You're good." Merida detto barely in a whisper. Mulan suddenly walked forward.

"YOU must be Mulan! Oh, what a great pleasure it is to meet a savior of her own country!" Grandmother Willow praised. "A Ribelle - The Brave hero to many, but also a loving daughter, friend, wife, mother, and mother-to-be." she continued. "She knows I'm pregnant?" Mulan asked. "She likes keeping up." Pocahontas answered. "It's not everyday I get to meet foreign saviors who choose to go their own way." Grandmother Willow cracked jokingly. "I went my own way for a reason." Mulan tried to fight back. "Now child, I know why te went your own way. te saved the precious life of your ailing father, who is dato strength every giorno da his loved ones, especially you." Grandmother Willow replied as she stroked her vine across Mulan's face. Mulan looked at the view of the forest as she began to regret what she previously said.

"Mulan, we all say things we don't mean." Pocahontas comforted. Mulan didn't take her actions lightly, but began to feel better just da hearing those words. "You may need to meet Shang before we leave." she detto after her 5 minuto pause. "I'd Amore to meet him. Is he as handsome as John?" she wondered. All 3 girls laughed. "I'm so happy I finally met these loyal and courageous Friends of yours!" Grandmother Willow detto to Pocahontas before her face faded. "That was an experience I'll never forget!" Mulan said. "If te need advice, she's always here." Pocahontas stated.

"I'm still mad at that rude remark about Mushu, MERIDA!" Mulan fumed. "HEY! It's not MY fault I think he's scary! Besides, I'm thankful he's not here!" Merida argued. Pocahontas laughed. Merida thought Mushu as scary for some reason. Maybe it was because of his mysterious ways? o maybe it was the way he acts sometimes? The threesome climbed back down safely and headed home.
