Party of the Three Kingdoms II
Chapter 10 – Sleep?
Slowly people left for bed. Soon there were very few warriors left. Only two episodes of Family Guy remained before they'd finished the sixth series.
"Hey, Brian, would you pass the cool whip?"
"Hey, Zhuge Liang, why aren't you upstairs? You're wife went upstairs an hour ago – she'll get lonely," Sima Yi said.
"I'm sure she won't." Zhuge Liang's eyes were looking very red.
"And you too, Lu Xun, aren't you slaughtered? It's been a long day."
"No way, I ate tons of sugar. Oh yes!!"
It seemed that it was a battle of who could stay awake the longest. But, by the looks of things, Zhuge Liang was going to loose very quickly.
XOXOXOX
However, the strategists weren't the only ones awake, even if they didn't know it.
In the room that held the game consoles, more warriors were up and playing their favourite game – Dynasty Warriors.
"Zhao Yun, I'm playing with you!" Ma Chao picked up a controller.
"We'll play the battle of…hmm…I want to play Chang Ban."
"Typical. Playing one with yourself in…" Xiahou Dun said. "I want to play Hu Lao Gate – it snows, very appropriate seeing as it's Christmas, eh?"
"I suppose. I didn't know you thought about these things." Xiahou Yuan thumped Dun on the back.
"Kill Liu Bei!" Ma Chao attempted to hit the Shu leader, but his spear went right through. The PS2 allow you to hurt a member of your side – how unfair…
"Say, where's Lu Bu… I thought he'd love this kind of thing." Zhao Yun tore his eyes from the screen momentarily to peer round.
"Then what you didn't know is that Lu Bu believes in Santa and followed Zhang He when Sima Yi warned him about no presents," Xiahou Dun said.
"Oh my…I thought Lu Bu was better than that… Someone should tell him, seriously. I can't believe Diao Chan hasn't," Ma Chao said. "We must do it – in the name of justice!"
"No, our bigger problem is making you stop saying that word!" laughed Zhao Yun.
XOXOXOX
"He's gone," Lu Xun said.
Zhuge Liang lay asleep on the floor. Family Guy has finished and they were now on to South Park.
"I gonna win – I ate lots of sugar!" Lu Xun yelled.
"Sure!" Sima Yi said on an unusually high voice. Little did Lu Xun know that during that 'toilet break', Sima Yi had scoffed a load chocolate. Sima Yi wasn't giving up anytime soon…
XOXOXOX
"The final! Zhao Yun vs Xiahou Dun! Battle at Wu Zhang Plains!" Jiang Wei announced. "Start!"
"Hey, did you see that? That shadow?" Ma Chao asked.
"What? No, don't worry." Xiahou Yuan turned back the battle, but Ma Chao was worrying – hadn't everyone gone to bed?
"There it is again!" Ma Chao exclaimed.
"Ma Chao, just shut up – you'll wake the whole castle!" Xiahou Yuan yelled.
"Maybe it's Santa…"
XOXOXOX
"I WON!! I WON!!" Sima Yi had beaten Lu Xun, actually quite literally.
They'd ended up having a fight…with pillows and seeing as Sima Yi had recently eaten a lot of sugar, he had beaten Lu Xun easily.
Lu Xun now lay on the floor, sleeping like a baby. Sima Yi then left, laughing as he did.
XOXOXOX
"OMG! There it is again!!" Ma Chao screamed.
"OMG! Shut up!!" everyone yelled back.
"That's it! I'm going after this thing!" Xiahou Yuan left and stomped down the hall.
However, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun really didn't care. They were both on Wu Zhang Plains, struggling to stay alive…
"I'm gonna live! I've almost killed Zhuge Liang!" Zhao Yun yelled.
"WTH?! I'm supposed to kill him – you're meant to kill Sima Yi!!" Xiahou Dun laughed.
"NOOO!! I've lost! I killed my own commander! I'm so dumb!!"
"MUHAHAHAHA!!" Xiahou Dun collected his trophy…that was made out of paper…
"Guys! I found the shadow!" Xiahou Yuan motioned for them to follow him. He led them down the hall and they gathered round the door to the living room.
"It's in there?" Ma Chao asked. His face was white with fear.
"God, Ma Chao, you're such a coward. I mean you kill people!" Xiahou Dun said.
Then they quickly pushed to door open and flicked the light on, lighting up the 'thing'. And then Ma Chao felt like an idiot.
The thing was in fact –
"SIMA YI!"
"WTF!? You lot are meant to be in bed!" Sima Yi was crouched by the Christmas tree with a sack full of presents by him.
"Look! He stealing the presents! Oh no!" Ma Chao did a dramatic sigh.
"What?! No, I'm putting them out. Seriously – who else is going to do it? Santa isn't real you know, Ma Chao," Sima Yi sneered.
"Yeah, I know that."
"Good, then leave me to finish. I must get Zhang He's present; otherwise he'll be very sad tomorrow. And if you lot don't scram, then I'll have your presents for myself. Muhaha!!" Sima Yi pulled a large pink box from the sack, read the tag and placed it next to many red parcels.
The warriors made their way upstairs and found that everyone wasn't asleep – they either had a DS or PSP which they were using to play Dynasty Warriors.
"So, you guys wanna go back downstairs?" Jiang Wei asked.
"Yeah, and we can get some fresh blood while we're up here!" Zhao Yun said.
"Oi! Who wants to play on the consoles downstairs?!"
A/N: Yay! SATs are over! I did my first cosplay! Xiao Qiao Project up on Youtube (hint hint)!
Hopefully this'll be finished soon too.
