Authors note: Yay! CH. 3! I warn you this may seem really weird. I just came up with it. Shrugs Once again, thank you everyone for their wonderful reviews, they helped me continue this fic! -------------------

After three days of crossing the land named He Fei, the four warriors reached the towering gates of Chang Sha.

"Well.... This is rather unexpected..." noted Lu Xun as he looked up at the fort blocking the path.

"I don't remember this being here...." Agreed Gan Ning.

"Hello?" called Jiang Wei, rapping on the door with his trident. "Is anyone inside?" Above them, a head poked through the two posts above the door.

"Who goes there?" hissed the soldier.

"I am Jiang Wei that is Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and-"

"What do you want?!"

"Uh...To pass through your fort. It's kinda in the middle of the road."

"None shall pass!" came a booming voice as the towering figure of Guan Yu appeared beside the soldier.

"But we don't want to have to go all the way around! Please! Can we just go through?" asked Lu Xun.

"Fool! What did I just say? None shall pass! That means nobody can pass! So you can't pass!" yelled Guan Yu. Lu Xun blinked and sniffed lightly at being yelled at.

"Hey! There's no need to be mean!" growled Gan Ning, hugging Lu Xun. "It's okay.... The big mean man didn't mean it." He soothed the young strategist. "You okay?" Lu Xun nodded. "Good, then stop crying for crying out loud!" Lu Xun pulled away and punched him on the arm.
"You ruined that moment!" Lu Xun growled, turning his back on the pirate.

"Aw.... But...I didn't know it was a moment! I swear!" whimpered the pirate, giving him the puppy eyes. Jiang Wei and Zhao Yun exchanged looks and shook their heads.

"Excuse me, can you leave now?" asked Guan Yu.

"Hey Guan Yu! Let us pass, please!" called Zhao Yun. Guan Yu squinted down at the young dragon warrior.

"Zhao Yun?"

"Yes."

"How have you been? How's your mother?"

"Oh she's fine, just gave birth to another baby boy."

"That's wonderful! What are you doing here?"

"Ah, just traveling with some friends. So, can we pass?"

Guan Yu laughed heartily. "Of course...not!"

"Why not?!" demanded Zhao Yun.

"Hahaha! You should have seen the look on your face! Of course you can pass!" grinned Guan Yu as the doors opened. Jiang Wei sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Why me?" he wondered before following the other three inside.

"Wait!" came a voice. Jiang Wei turned to see two men racing towards him.

"Excuse me." Panted one with long chestnut hair and calm eyes as he stopped in front of Jiang Wei. "Can.... Can with you? We've been trying for three weeks to get into this fort!"

"Yeah! And I'm tired of begging! We'll come with you and.... And...do something to help you out!" agreed the other, who had dark chocolate hair in a high ponytail and bright caramel eyes.

"Uh, sure. The more the merrier." Shrugged Jiang Wei.

"Yay! Thanks!" exclaimed the second, grabbing the strategist and hugging him.

"Hey!" came a sharp voice. Zhao Yun stomped over and pulled Jiang Wei out of the guy's arms, holding him tightly. "Mine. Do. Not. Touch."

"Okay, okay! Sorry. I'm Sun Ce. That's Zhou Yu." Introduced the second.

"Hey! Come on! Let's get going!" came Lu Xun's voice.

"Come on Lu Xun! I said I was sorry!!" whimpered Gan Ning. "Oh come on! Won't you even look at me?"

"That would be Lu Xun and Gan Ning." Noted Zhao Yun as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu exchanged looks.

"O...Kay." Answered Zhou Yu slowly as he followed the three into the fort.

THREE HOURS LATER

"Wow...it was sure nice of Guan Yu to let us eat there." Noted Jiang Wei as they made their way past some random cherry blossom trees that were in full bloom.

"Yes. I'm full!" said Zhou Yu. "So, where are we going?"

"Uh.... Around... we don't know for sure." Answered Lu Xun.

"Ohh! Like an adventure?! Can we come too? Sounds like fun!" asked Sun Ce.

"If you want. I just want to warn you we've run into some pointless battles along the way." Said Jiang Wei.

"Yeah! Yesterday, we finished fighting some freak named Xiahou Dun. He kept bragging how nothing could hurt him cause he lost and ate his own eye." Frowned Gan Ning.

"So it is you that has been taking over the areas in China!" came a hiss. The six looked around for the source of the voice.

"Uh... we haven't been taking over anything!" said Jiang Wei.

"If you were paying attention, you would realize that half of China is yours." Replied the voice.

"Really? Wow. That's pretty cool." Said Sun Ce.

"Yeah! We could start our own Era. The Hottie Era. Heh.... Sweet..." smirked Gan Ning.

"No, unfortunately, you're going to give that land to me! Dong Zhuo!" answered the voice as he stepped out from behind a tree.

"AHHHHH!" yelled the six, taking a step back.

"Holy CRAP are you UGLY!" gasped Lu Xun.

"My eyes burn!" whimpered Jiang Wei.

"Make it go away! Make it go away!" pleaded Sun Ce.

"SHUT UP!" snarled Dong Zhou. "Now turn over your land!"

"Never! You're not cute enough to be apart of the Hottie Era!" snapped Gan Ning, drawing his sword. Dong Zhuo groaned and rubbed his eyes.
"Why is it morons take over the land?!" he demanded.

"Hey! Nobody makes fun of Gan Ning but me!" snapped Lu Xun, rage burning in his eyes. He raced over to the man and lit his clothes on fire with a spark from slashing his swords together.

"AHHH!" screamed Dong Zhuo, racing around, trying desperately to put out the flames.

"Take that! Bwahahahahah!" laughed Lu Xun.

"Oh great.... There he goes again. Last time it took me a week to get him to stop lighting things on fire." Sighed Gan Ning, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Ohh! Look at the fire against the frail beauty of the cherry blossoms...like a burning heart in the middle of gentle love." Sighed a voice from the right of the group. Zhang He and an amused Sima Yi watched as Dong Zhuo raced around screaming his head off.

"Hey! You're the one who was suppose to buy me!" noted Zhao Yun, pointing at Zhang He.

"Yeah, but I got something I like more." Zhang He motioned to Sima Yi.

"Good." Agreed Zhao Yun, turning his attention back on Dong Zhuo.

"Wow...this is really entertaining." Said Zhou Yu with interest.

"I got meat buns!" said Zhang He.

"Awesome!" said Sun Ce, bounding over.

Soon all 8 sat against the trees watching as Dong Zhuo still raced around the trees screaming his head off.

"I think his hair is about to catch fire." Noted Sun Ce.

"No way." Said Gan Ning.

"Wanna make a wager?"

"You bet."

"Okay.... A meat bun says his hair catches fire."

"Deal." Answered Gan Ning, shaking hands with him. Both turned their attention back to the screaming lord.

AN HOUR LATER

The sun was setting and Jiang Wei, Lu Xun, and Zhou Yu had fallen asleep against the trees. Zhang He yawned as he watched Dong Zhuo still run around.

"Okay, this is pathetic. Shouldn't he be at least out or even dead?" sighed Sima Yi, rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah. Maybe we should...oh never mind.... He saw the lake over there." Noted Zhao Yun.

"I'll be back!" yelled Dong Zhuo before leaving.

"It's about time..." muttered Sun Ce. He turned to Gan Ning. "Looks like I owe you a meat bun."

"Give it to me tomorrow. I'm exhausted." Yawned the pirate before turning over and going to sleep.

"Fine." Agreed Sun Ce, doing the same. Soon all 8 warriors were asleep under the clear night sky.
