| - Chorus: I know youI walked with you once upon a dreamI know youThe gleam in your eyes is so familiar to meAnd I know it's trueThat visions are seldom all they seemBut if I know youI know what you'll doYou'll love me at onceThe way you didOnce upon a dream We see a book with the title of this parody sitting on a desk with a lit candle. The book opens and shows how the story begins. "In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years had they longed for a child, and finally their wish was granted. A daughter was adopted, and they called her Viper." Chorus: Sweet Viper The story continued, "Yes, they named her after the kind of snake, for that was exactly what she is. Then a great holiday was proclaimed throughout the kingdom, so that all of high or low estate might pay homage to the infant snake princess. And our story begins on that most joyful day." Chorus: On that joyful dayOn that joyful DAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! The pages in the book become real as several well-dressed people of all sizes, shapes and colors were gathering up to the castle. There were the rich dressed in their fancy outfits and knights riding atop horses, and many more. They were all shouting out cheers and cries and singing on this merry day. Thus, on this great and joyous day did the entire kingdom celebrate the long awaited birth. And the people kept singing as they marched up the pathway up to a tall castle beyond the grounds. Inside the castle in the thrown room, the people were also gathering there. Chorus: Joyfully now to our princess we comeBringing gifts and all good wishes tooWe pledge our loyalty anewHail to the princess Viper!All of her subjects adore herHail to the King!Hail to the Queen!Hail to the princess Viper!Health to the princessWealth to the princessLong live the princess Viper!Hail Viper!Hail Viper!Health to the princessWealth to the princessLong live the princess Viper!Hail to the King!Hail to the Queen!Hail to the princess Viper! Once all of the people entered into the castle, they saw a man and a woman sitting on two separate thrones and a royal crib between them. There were many different colored banners of all sizes and shapes hanging from the walls and the ceiling. The man was a Chinese man with black hair and dark brown eyes, wearing a white uniform with gold trimming, a black leather belt with a gold buckle, white pants with gold lining, and black shoes. His name was Captain Li Shang, or Shang for short. The woman was a Chinese woman with olive skin, black hair, and dark brown eyes, wearing a pink Chinese dress, black ballet slippers, a blue sash, and a red ribbon around her waist. Her name was Mulan, Li Shang's wife. "Thus on this great and joyous day did all the kingdom celebrate the long awaited royal birth. And good King Li Shang and his Queen made welcome their life long friend." Several heralds dressed in British guard uniforms blew trumpets as Li Shang's advisor, Chifu, unfurled a scroll and called out the two names off of the parchment as a red panda and a young bird entered the room. "Their royal highnesses, King Shifu and Prince Crane!" Sure enough, the red panda was a stout one with gray fur, curvy pink ears, a black nose, whiskers, a white bucktooth, and brown eyes, wearing a red sweater and a brown newsboy cap. The only two things he was not wearing were shoes and trousers. His name was Master Shifu. The young bird has black and white feathers, brown eyes, and a yellow bill, legs, and feet, wearing a blue silk robe and black sandals. His name was Master Crane, Shifu's student. Shifu walked up to the throne where Li Shang was sitting. Li Shang got up from his throne, walked over to Shifu, and gave him a big hug. They shook hands and talked to each other while Shifu introduced Crane to Li Shang. Li Shang smiled and shook Crane's wing, pleased to meet him. "Fondly had these monarchs dreamed one day their kingdoms to unite. Thus today would they announce that Master Crane, Shifu's student and heir to Li Shang's child would be betrothed." Shifu guided Crane to Mulan's throne. She and her future adoptive son-in-law looked in the crib and saw the sleeping baby snake in her crib. "And so to her his gift he brought, and looked, unknowing, on his future bride." Crane looked puzzled! Could this be the girl of his dreams?
