Ce climbed up the side of a hill following his brother back to the main camp. Suddenly, he yelped as he lost his footing and held to the edge of the cliff. He looked up to see his younger brother's face looking down at him. Ce smirked before shouting in mock desperation, "Quan! Brother, help me!"

Quan roughly grabbed his brother's wrists and jeered down at him evilly as Ce stared at him suddenly fearful. Quan leaned his head down and whispered menacingly, "Long live the king." He then pried his brother's hands from the edge of the cliff and let him fall.

"Aaaah!" Ce fell back and flailed helplessly as he got closer to hitting the ground below him. "Quaa—oof!"

Ce hit the floor and his brother started laughing from his perch on top of the hill. "Hahahaha! Serves you right!"

Ce glared at his brother as he stood up and rubbed his lower back. "Quan…..I'm going to kill you!" He sprinted all the way up the hill and hopped over the fence that kept people from walking off the edge easily.

"Uh-oh," Quan said as he started running as well. "Hey! It's your own fault! You should stop kidding around like that!"

Ce growled and picked up his pace. "Well, you didn't have to really throw me off! You wouldn't have done that if Father was there, you goody two shoes!"

Quan turned around and started jogging backwards as he put his hands up in defense. "Well, yeah, but remember I was only playing along with you—ouch," he stumbled as he turned back around, " and I thought actually throwing you off would make the scene more authentic. Hahaha—oh crap!" He turned around to see Ce gaining on him.

"More authentic? You want authentic? I'll show you authentic!" Ce reached out and grabbed the back of Quan's vest, effectively pulling him back and throwing him to the ground.

"Wai—ow! Damn it, Ce! Get off!" Quan yelled after Ce tackled him.

"Hell no! You threw me off a cliff!" The two of them started wrestling on the ground as they continued to argue with each other.

"Ouch, that's my neck-ck—" Quan choked when Ce put him in a headlock.

"Haha! You can't beat me, little brother!" Ce cheered in victory before he was flipped over Quan's head and onto his stomach.

"Oh, yeah! Let's see how you handle this." Quan jumped on top of his brother and pulled Ce's arms behind his back in an attempt to restrain him.

"Ow, ow, ow! My arms don't bend that way!" Ce couldn't pull his arms back from their current position, so instead he used his legs to roll onto his back and squished Quan, who released him and tried to push his brother off him.

They couldn't hear footsteps approaching and continued to battle for dominancy. They both cried out in surprise as they were yanked up from the ground by their collars. "Okay, that's enough. It's been a few years since the last time I saw you two fighting like this, hasn't it?"

They both looked up in unison and said, "Dad…"

"Hello boys." Sun Jian smiled down at his two adult sons with interest before asking, "So, what happened?"

"Uuuh…Nothing?" Ce tried hopefully.

"We…um…tripped," Quan said dumbly.

Sun Jian raised his eyebrows. "Really?" There was a pause and he looked from one to the other expecting one of them to come clean. They didn't so he nodded and asked, "No seriously,that's the story you're going with?"

They grimaced at each other and silently decided that it would be better if Quan did the talking. "Okay, maybe we didn't trip, but we did both take a tumble, even if they were at different times and Ce's accident led to my eventual meeting with the ground." Quan thought for a moment before continuing, "And what led to our so called fight isn't really important. I mean, we both let off some steam so I'm pretty sure we're good now. Right, brother?"

"Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself."

Sun Jian laughed once and rolled his eyes as he muttered, "Ain't that the truth…Well either way, I don't know what to tell you two. Since I don't know who started this, you'll both be cleaning out the latrines for the rest of this week. Am I clear?"

"Yes, Father," they answered resentfully.

"Good now get going," he commanded. He watched them walk away as they quietly bickered back and forth. He shook his head and Zhou Yu walked up to him.

"You know it was probably Ce who started it, right sir?"

"Yeah I know, but Quan, that idiot, he still covered for him."

"If you ask me, they're both idiots."

"Yes, but they're my idiots," Sun Jian smiled as he accompanied Yu back to the main camp.
