Zhou Yu: Okay Blade, remember what the therapist said.
Blade turns to look at Zhou Yu with a bloody knife in his hand.
B/C: Was that before or after something bad happened?
Zhou Yu: Umm, I think after the stabbing ended.
B/C: Well, I am just reminding the people that did not ever read to Zhou Yu's Journey to read it and I am helping out everyone that did read it with this story. Then that is all... no more helping or reminding.
Zhou Yu: Hmm, I guess what you did was reasonable, but must you continue holding the bloody knife.
Blade throws the knife into the kitchen and gives Zhou Yu a mean look.
B/C: What knife?
Zhou Yu: I did not say anything about a knife; I was saying that the story should start.
B/C: I agree. I hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 2 - America... WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?
A week has passed since Daniel and Zhou Yu met. In this time they both became the best of friends and Daniel has promised to help Zhou Yu in finding some trace of Xiao Qiao. Alexandria also helped and mentioned that there may be some clues at the museum that she works for. The only problem is that this museum is in America, so how can you get an ancient warrior an airplane ticket and clearance to America. Alexandria and Daniel are about to have a very rough time.
The sun rises slowly on a beautiful day in China. Zhou Yu is already awake and preparing breakfast, he is preparing coffee, bacon, eggs, grits, and toast. Alexandria walks into the kitchen.
Zhou Yu: "Morning Mrs. Capashen!"
Alexandria: "Good morning Lord Zhou Yu and please call me Alex!"
Zhou Yu: "Very well, and by all means Mrs.... I mean Alex, call me Zhou Yu!"
Alexandria: "As you wish, I see you prepared a lovely breakfast this morning."
Zhou Yu: "Yes I have. Please eat to your hearts desire."
Alexandria: "Don't mind if I do."
Alexandria gets out a plate. She takes one piece of toast, some eggs, and a few pieces of bacon. Daniel then walks into the kitchen.
Daniel: "Morning mom and Zhou Yu!"
Alexandria: "Good morning my special son!"
She kisses him on the cheek.
Zhou Yu: "Good morning Daniel! By the way how come I do not get any kisses?"
Alexandria kisses Zhou Yu on the cheek.
Alexandria: "There happy now, you no longer have to be jealous of Daniel getting kisses on the cheek."
Zhou Yu pouts.
Zhou Yu: "I'm not jealous... okay maybe I was."
Zhou Yu quickly grabs a plate. He takes one piece of toast, some eggs, grits, and a few pieces of bacon. Once he is done Daniel grabs the biggest plate and takes anything left over. Then they all proceeded to the dinning room and sat down. Each one of them had a tall glass of milk, orange juice, and coffee.
Daniel: "Hey Zhou Yu, I will trade you my orange juice for your grits."
Zhou Yu: "You are a poor trader you know that. No deal."
Daniel: "Ahh nurts!!!"
Time passes and everyone at the table finishes their meal at the same time, Daniel had to work a bit quicker since he had more to eat. Then once they put away their dishes, they head back to the dinning room table to talk.
Alexandria: "Okay, I know you boys wanted to go to America, so that master Zhou Yu could maybe find a clue at the museum that I work for. The problem is that Zhou Yu has nothing to prove that he was born around this time. Even though he was not actually born in this time, I am just saying he needs certain requirements."
Daniel: "Maybe we can just ship him with his weapon to the museum."
Alexandria: "No that would be mean and the museum checks what is inside once it arrives, so what will we have to do is falsify some information. It will be difficult, but I am sure we can do this and we should start right away."
Daniel: "Okay, let us get going then. Once we put on some decent clothes instead of our bed time clothes."
All of them get changed and then once done they get into the car to go and try to make Zhou Yu a citizen of China... somehow. Meanwhile at Siyi Ma's huge business EWI, a limo pulls up in front of it. Siyi Ma gets out first and summons 2 of his guards to come outside. One brings a long dark robe and the other brings a business suit and a tranquilizer gun. Siyi Ma grabs the gun and then re-enters the limo, he shoots a dart into Xiao Qiao's arm. She then passes out.
Cao Cao: "What sort of sorcery is this?"
Siyi Ma: "It is no sorcery my lord, this is a tranquilizer gun."
Cao Cao: "Fool, why did you kill her?"
Siyi Ma: "I didn't. She is asleep till the drug wears off. Wait here for a moment."
Siyi Ma tosses the gun aside and steps out of the limo to grab the robe and business suit, and then he gets back into the limo.
Siyi Ma: "Here is your robe Lord Guo Jia and here is something to drawn off attention from yourself my lord."
Guo Jia grabs the robe and puts it on and then steps outside. Siyi Ma also steps out and summons his secretary to come outside. She walks out slowly and then steps into the limo and shuts the door. Moments later the door opens and she steps out dragging Xiao Qiao with her into the building. Cao Cao then steps out and he is all dress up in a nice business suit, gelled hair, clean shaved, and the works.
Siyi Ma: "I hope she was fulfilled her duties well my lord."
Cao Cao: "Indeed!"
Siyi Ma: "Well then, let me be the first to welcome you to EWI my lord or should I say welcome to Wei. All that was done was a little change in the order of the letters."
Cao Cao: "How much of the vast lands of China are under my rule?"
Siyi Ma: "You must mean EWI's. Well all of China actually."
Cao Cao grabs Siyi Ma's throat.
Cao Cao: "The land is mine fool and you will learn that well!"
Guo Jia: "My lord, please. Now is not the time and Sima Yi or should I say Siyi Ma is still as valuable as he was in the past."
Cao Cao lets go of Siyi Ma's throat. Siyi Ma starts to cough some and gasp for air.
Siyi Ma: "I am sorry to anger you my lord. Please follow me."
Siyi Ma walks up and opens the glass door. Cao Cao walks in with Guo Jia following him and then SiYi Ma right after. Meanwhile, at the American Embassy in China...
High in Office Person: "I am sorry to say this but there is no way we can give this Zhou Yu person a green card into China. He has hardly any records for me to look up and all the information you have given me is still not enough. I apologize again."
Daniel: "Wonderful!"
Alexandria: "Well, we better get going Daniel. Thank you for your help sir."
Alexandria picks up the information papers that she let the man look at and she put them in her purse. Daniel went to open the door and as his mother turned and walked out the door she bumped into a strange man.
Alexandria: "Ohh, I am so sorry sir!"
Strange Man #1: "It is okay Miss. No harm was done."
Alexandria bows to the man and then continues down the hall and Daniel quickly follows her. Another strange figure appears out of the hallway near the first strange man.
Strange Man #2: "Well Prime Minister, it is lucky none of them had you know who with them or that they did not recognize you."
Strange Man #1: "Yes, but still we have to help them."
The strange men walk into the office.
High in Office Person: "Yes, what can I do for you?"
Strange Man #1: "You can help those people that just left a few minutes ago."
High in Office Person: "I am sorry, but they do not have the necessary papers or information to get what they need for that man."
The strange man places an envelope on the man's desk and on it there is the seal of The United States. The man opens up the envelope, reads the letter and then gasp.
High in Office Person: "I will get it this task done for the President as soon as possibly."
Strange Man #1: "Thank you for your cooperation."
The strange man exits the room and the High in office person starts on his task. The day passes and it is now nighttime. Daniel and Zhou Yu are watching TV and Alexandria is at the dinning room table with lots of paper work. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.
Zhou Yu: "I'll get it!"
Zhou Yu rushes to the door and opens it, but when he looks outside no one is around. Then he looks down and sees a package. He picks it up and walks back inside, closing the door behind him.
Daniel: "What is it Zhou Yu?"
Zhou Yu: "A package, I think it is for me."
Daniel walks over to Zhou Yu and so does Alexandria.
Alexandria: "What could it possibly be?"
Zhou Yu opens it and reaches inside. He pulls out a green card and two airplane tickets.
Zhou Yu: "Is this what I think it is? But, I thought I could not get one."
Alexandria: "This seems too odd, but I guess you boys get a chance to go to America now."
Zhou Yu: "Hurray!"
Daniel and his mom talked about how strange this was after Zhou Yu went off to bed, but neither one of them knew why this happened. They soon went to bed too and fell asleep. Morning came and there was no time for breakfast, so everyone but Alexandria had to pack up for the flight today. Once packed and ready Daniel and Zhou Yu took their luggage to the car. Everyone got into the car and they drove off to the Airport. When they arrived Alexandria parked the car and they all got out and got the luggage and carted inside. As they were putting their luggage on the revolving belt, Zhou Yu was suddenly called to pick up the nearest phone to him. He walked over to a yellow phone and picked it up.
Zhou Yu: "Hello."
Strange Man #1: "You must be proud now Lord Zhou Yu. You are finally going out to see more of the world."
Zhou Yu: "Who is this?"
Strange Man #1: "You know who I am, but now is not the time to talk about it. You must go to America to start your journey to find Xiao Qiao. She is in this time, but you will need to find people along your journey to help you get her back."
Zhou Yu: "Zhu..."
Strange Man #1: "Take care my lord and have a safe journey, we will be following you."
The strange man hangs up the phone and then Zhou Yu hangs it up as well. Alexandria is calling out to Zhou Yu to catch the flight before it leaves. He quickly goes over to her and they say their goodbyes, as well as Daniel. Then both of them board the airplane and then two strange men enter behind them and then the door is closed. Daniel and Zhou Yu both got tickets in the first class section of the airplane. A few minutes later everyone was told to fasten their seat belts and not too long after that the airplane began to take off for America. They were finally going to find some more clues, but Zhou Yu had to constantly think about what the man on the phone told him. About how Xiao Qiao was here in this time, one way or another he was going to find her.
The End
B/C: Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the story.
Zhou Yu starts throwing up.
Zhou Yu: I need and air-sickness bag...
B/C: Well I better tend to him. So please read, review, and enjoy! Till next time!
UPDATE!!! As of November 1st, 2004
B/C: I will not go back and change Da Qiao's name, besides her name is actually better if you have it as Diao Qiao. It kind of has a flow to it and it is funny. It is also how I said her name since day one of playing Dynasty Warriors 3. I also hate being corrected. So what the heck I will go back this one time to fix her name. Ohh one more thing, where do you put off saying Zhou Yu is acting like Zhou Yu. How would you be/feel if you were brought back to life from far off in the past to today's world? Yes Zhou Yu is a little different, but if anything Daniel is acting more like Sun Ce than anyone else in this story. Anyway I will carry on with my 3rd Chapter and hopefully nothing bad will happen... AGAIN!!!
