A.N.: hi….well this is my very first fanfic and I thought I'd write bout my first 'obsession'…. Hercules: the legendary journeys and Xena: warrior princess. This is an x-over. It takes place after Gabrielle leaves the "Path of Light" and starts fighting wit her sais/dagger thing but it's b4 Eve comes into the picture. After dis story is done I'm gonna write ones leading up to dis.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters dat ever appeared on either show cause if I did Iolaus and I would be happily married….but sum I will make up so don't sue me!

An Amazon's Hunter
Prologue
Two companions walked down the dirt road. The taller of the two was a well built man. His dirty blonde hair just reached his shoulders and his eyes were warm and kind. The other had bright, expressive blue eyes and almost shoulder length golden hair. He was smaller than his companion but still looked like he could handle himself in a fight.
He glanced at his companion. "Hey, Herc?"
The demi-god looked at the hunter. "Yea, Iolaus?"
"I was thinking we should go on a vacation….maybe track down some old friends." But there was only one 'friend' he really wanted to see. A blonde-haired bard/sidekick that he hadn't seen in a long while, to be specific. 'I've been thinking bout her a lot lately…..' Hercules noticed the sudden faraway look on Iolaus' face and new exactly what was on his mind.
"Sure. It'll be good to see Xena again…..or are you too anxious to see Gabrielle to care?"
Iolaus' head snapped up and turned, blushing VERY slightly at being caught. He looked at the hero.
"Are you implying something, Hercules?"
Hercules chuckled lightly. "No, I am simply asking is you missed a certain young bard." He started laughing at the glare he was getting.

The Warrior Princess and the Amazon Queen walked swiftly down the road. There was a festival in the bard's hometown of Potadia and they were anxious to get there.
"GABRIELLE! XENA! WAIT UP!" Joxer yelled as he ran to catch up with them, Amarice just ahead of him. The two women turned around, watching him run, trip, and stumble his way over to them (A.N:don't get me wrong! I'm not trying to be mean to Joxer in fact I think he's hilarious).
When the two finally caught up to them, they seemed to be extremely excited. Joxer was panting and attempting to tell the warriors something.
"What is it, Joxer?" Gabrielle asked the warrior wannabe.
"Town…..in….festival…..Hercules….Iolaus…..Potadia…..way…..and….on…..to….for…..staying." he panted.
Xena and Gabrielle shared a glance b4 looking at Joxer, who was now leaning on Argo while he caught his breath.
"Huh?"
He took a deep breath. "Hercules and Iolaus are on their way to Potadia for the festival and are staying in town." He said, once again resting his weight on the horse.
"What's that big deal? There just men. We go around saving people and doing heroic stuff all the time and no ones making a big deal out of us going to the festival." Amarice snorted. She had never met these two and didn't understand why Gabrielle and Xena would act differently whenever Hercules and Iolaus were mentioned.
"People have their reasons for getting excited about those two. Something always seems to happen when they're around. We had better pick up our pace if we want to get therein time to meet them." Xena said. Gabrielle nodded in agreement. The warrior princess started to lead Argo ahead, unaware of Joxer's weight placement. He lost his balance and tried desperately to reclaim it.
'THUNK'.
The women turned to see Joxer jumping up from the ground.
"Yea...I uhhhhh…..I…..just wanted to make sure my armor could take a fall!" the self proclaimed mighty warrior checked his attire for damage.
"Yep, all clear."
Xena and Gabrielle rolled their eyes and continued walking. Amarice laughed and ran to catch up with her new friends.
