Gorgeous: A 我、你、還有…Tale

  • Royal Palace - A majestic Japanese/Chinese building with red roofs and golden walls. Grand red doors.

  • Palace Playroom - Like a mixture of the Hyakuya Orphanage from ‘Seraph To The End’ and Wanchai’s 7X Smarter Playroom. Red walls, cushions, pillows and duvets in the corner, and toys neatly put on the shelves. The bulletin board - motivational messages and cute images.

  • Orko and toddler Furaha.

  • Playing in the playroom.

  • Furaha pushes a wagon along the room containing a doll and a teddy bear.

  • Orko helps her along.

  • Furaha gets them to the giant train drawing that is painted on the windows of the playroom.

  • Orko gets out a dinosaur soft toy and challenges Furaha to a ‘fight’.

  • Furaha gets out a monkey, and the two begin playfully duelling with their toys.

  • Turns into a chase around the playroom. Furaha chases Orko while the two laugh crazily.

  • Furaha pounces onto Orko. The two laugh in exhaustion.

  • Furaha decides to play on the rocking horse.

  • Orko sings a Chinese-language rendition of ‘Horsey Horsey’.

  • Furaha rocks too fast and is sent flying.

  • She lands onto the pillows and cushions just before Orko could catch her. She laughs in joy.

  • Orko takes Furaha onto his unseen knees and gives her a ride, trotting, then cantering, then galloping like a horse.

  • He then cuddles her, then tickles her tummy, causing her to laugh.

  • Furaha and Orko look out the window.

  • It is snowing outside.

  • It is the perfect time to relax in the onsen in the palace gardens.

  • Just in time - Mushu enters and asks if they want to join the other students in the onsen.

  • “Yes master!”

  • Furaha agrees by nodding and clapping in delight.

  • It is warm outside in the onsen, while the snow blows around everyone.

  • Onsen in palace gardens - similar to or inspired by Yufuin Onsen in Japan. Warm water, even amongst the snow.

  • Mushu’s students - Jetfire, Tenderheart Bear, Hack, Slash, Timon, Pumbaa, Shaggy and Scooby Doo - are all relaxing and enjoying themselves in the water, while soothing Chinese music plays faintly far away.

  • Furaha and Orko enter the water and feel warm amongst the snow.

  • Orko teaches little Furaha how to swim.

  • Furaha swims towards Scooby Doo, who scoops her up in his arms.

  • All the students gather to adore Furaha as Orko watches proudly.

  • Timon offers Furaha a bowl of grub he and Pumbaa were saving as their onsen snacks.

  • Timon feeds Furaha some grub as if she was a baby again.

  • She swallows and reacts with her tongue hanging out, which causes all the students to say “Aaaaaawwww.” in appreciation.

  • Later, the students continue relaxing.

  • Furaha and Orko are lying head to tip-of-hat in the middle of the onsen.

  • Furaha has an idea.

  • While Orko is relaxing, she swims up to him and splashes him.

  • Orko splashes her back.

  • The two splash each other, laughing in joy.

  • Suddenly, Furaha swims to the edge of the onsen.

  • Visible and clear in the fog - a house with smoke pouring out of its chimney.

  • Orko teaches Furaha that the smoke within this house comes from the deceased dragons that used to roam China in the past, and those are what gave his friends the courage to enter Mushu’s palace and learn martial arts for….reasons.

  • Furaha giggles at the term ‘martial arts for…reasons’.

  • Furaha and Orko watch the smoke coming from the chimney and try to guess which shapes the smoke makes.

  • Furaha uses her onsen towel as a scarf.

  • This makes Orko laugh.

  • Furaha sprinkles snow from the side of the onsen onto Slash’s head.

  • Slash shivers from the cold, and Hack laughs with him.

  • Furaha suddenly notices a tree near the onsen.

  • The onsen tree - grand, beautiful, covered in snow.
