The hari began as hectic for Pocahontas. She had a teething Mace who was NOT happy at all, she had dishes that needed to be washed, she had the whole inside of the cottage to clean, and she had further arranged plans to visit Merida. Pocahontas just wanted to go "Shove it!" and just escape from it all. (A/N: That expression is inspired sejak an old country song! XD) But, she knew she couldn't do that. Especially now since she was a mother. Yet, like all new mothers, she didn't know what to do to make Mace feel better. She took a deep breath.

"Pocahontas, what's wrong?" John asked entering the cottage. "JOHN!" Pocahontas shouted running up to him. "It's everything! Everything's wrong! Mace's teething has put him in a foul mood, the cottage is dirty, the dishes are dirty, and-". "Slow down! You're getting yourself in quite a rush." John cut her off. "The world's on bahagian, atas of me!" she shouted again, sounding like she was about to cry that time. "Just calm down Pocahontas. You're just having a rough start to the day." John comforted. Pocahontas just leaned into his hug ever so tenderly. "I'm sorry John. I've been trying to take care of Mace and..." she paused.

"I know." John replied sweetly as he hugged her tighter. "Why don't anda take Mace up to Kekata for his teething? I'll clean up around here." he offered. Pocahontas finally managed to smile. "What would I do without you?" she remarked happily. The rest of the hari went smoothly for the future Chiefess. She got medicine for Mace's teething, and the best part is, it helped him sleep. John got the whole cottage spotless and Pocahontas couldn't stop hugging him in thanks!

That afternoon, Pocahontas was rocking a sleeping Mace. John entered the room quietly. "If anda can't visit Merida today, Mulan and Shang have offered to visit her." he said. Pocahontas looked down at a now peaceful Mace. "As much as I want to visit Merida, I feel I should stay with Mace." she replied. John nodded. Shang went ahead to visit Merida.

Meanwhile, Merida was having an even worse day. She was feeling all icky and she just wasn't herself. "When is someone gonna be here?" she asked herself. She leaned back in her bed. The door knob suddenly turned. "Finally!" Merida screeched. However, when she saw it was Shang, she felt the need to hide her icky feeling. "There's only one thing left to do." she whispered. As Shang entered the room, the recovering princess lied back down, acted like she was asleep and pretended to snore.

Shang tried not to laugh as he "awakened" Merida. "Shang?" she yawned fakely. "I was only restin' me eyes." she said. Shang smirked. "You were snoring." he tried to argue. "I was?" she asked, pretending to be surprised. Shang nodded. "Kinda loudly." he added. "I didn't know I actually fell asleep!" Merida cracked. She also pretended to stretch as she sat up.

"How's everyone doing?" she asked, talking in her real voice again. "Pocahontas had a rough morning." Shang answered. Merida proceeded for him to continue. "Mace was teething." he continued. "Ouch!" Merida replied. "He's fine now." Shang stated. "That's good." Merida said. "What exactly did anda have?" Shang asked about the infection.

"Doctors don't really know." Merida answered. Shang got angry. "But they're tryin' to figure it out." Merida berkata quickly. "Thank Goodness!" Shang muttered. "How's Mulan doing?" Merida asked. "She's hanging in there, but she's feeling good." Shang answered. Merida smiled big. The two talked until visiting hours were over. Merida later laughed at herself because she couldn't believe Shang bought her whole sleeping act!
