Shu and SSX

Xiao was devastated that Da was about to leave her. But, Da persuaded Xiao to let her go this once. On a journey to start a new life…and maybe bring the dead life she once knew back to life. Xiao wanted that so much for her sister so she let Da go.

Da felt happy inside the first time ever since his death. But, she did feel a little sad because she would be leaving some of her most reliable friends.

The next day Liu Bei, Da, and SSX all went to Shu. On the ride (in the carriage), SSX played Chinese checkers with Da. "Yes I beat you again Da!" SSX said with joy. "Phooey!" Da cried. All of a sudden the carriage stopped. SSX leaned over and tried poking her head out of the window. "Hey I want to see too!" Da shouted. SSX, saw something doge into the bushes.

"Ladies stay in here I don't want either of you getting hurt." Liu Bei informed the two ladies. He got out and looked around.

"My, my SSX he's so manly."

"Shut it Da!"

"I'm just kidding."

"…"

"Well seems that we have a problem. Our horse men are dead we're stuck with two horses in the middle of the road." Liu Bei said.

"Mm… I have an idea if you are willing to give it a try?"

"Great what is it? SSX."

"Well, take our valuable belongings and you go on one horse and Da and I will take the other horse."

"Sounds good."

"Man, I never get to say anything!" Da pouted.

After arriving in Shu Liu Bei assigned Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei to give SSX and Da a tour of the town. Zhao Yun looked over at Da quietly for a couple of minutes until she turned and looked at him. Finally he said something.

"So are you doing ok?" Zhao asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well ever since he died have you been ok?"

"Oh well, yes."

"Liar, for the first month she ate zippo! And then" SSX interrupted.

"Okay that's enough SSX." Da said.

"I don't know how you made it without food. Especially for a whole entire month!"

"Hehe, you make it sound like years Lord Zhao Yun."

SSX looked over at the other young man Jiang Wei. She noticed he had a pony tail and she loved horses. SSX soon spaced out. Jiang looked at SSX in an oddly sort of way. Since she was just standing there looking at him. "My lady are you ok?" Jiang Wei asked. But, SSX didn't say anything.

"Oh don't mind her Lord Jiang Wei she must be spacing off again."

"Does she always do this?"

"No, but most of the time yes."

"Hmm…I see."

Just then Da rubbed her hands together and then put it on Xiang's cheeks. SSX snapped out of spacing out. She then looked around her and said to her self I hope we will see each other again…Lu Xun. Just then SSX saw a man near the inn and she saw a familiar face so she started chasing after him. "Xiang where are you off to?" Da asked. But, SSX ignored her. Finally she got to the man who she thought was Lu Xun. She tossed her arms around him and he pulled them off.

"Ms. what are you doing?"

"Lu Xun I've missed you so much already."

"Lu Xun…I've hear of that young man. Many say he has a lot of talent."

All of a sudden SSX looks up at the man and it's a dude with dragon armor on. SSX gives a shriek and starts to run. But, the man grabbed her wrist. "Ms. Who are you?" SSX panicked and said "Please don't hurt me!" Then the man laughed and gave a handsome smile.

"Miss all I want to know is your name."

"My name is Sun Shang Xiang. I'm from Wu. And I'm here as Liu Bei's…Liu Bei's…wife."

"Well, welcome to Shu. And I am Ma Chao; please do not be afraid of me."

"Um…ok?"

"Yeah hold on SSX be afraid of Ma Chao when he loses his temper. It can get quite ugly." Jiang Wei commented.

"Hehe…"

"Oh, Jiang Wei you seem to impress Lady Xiang. I think Liu Bei has some competition now."

"Phooey. They should call you Macho. HAHA!"

Just as SSX turned around she tripped over Ma Chao's foot and sprang her ankle. "Owe!" she cried. Ma Chao quickly picked her up and ran to somewhere as quickly as possible. SSX said to herself this is so awesome a man so handsome and brave picking me up! I should trip more often! But, then Ma Chao laid her down and wrapped his shirt around her ankle as tight as possible. "Does it hurt Lady Xiang?" Ma Chao asked. "No but thank you for helping me. Also may I ask where we are?" SSX said.

"We are at your palace. Do you like it?"

"It's beautiful! The garden is so pretty it reminds me of…home…"

"Homesick already Lady Xiang?"

"Please just call me Xiang. It's shorter and it's not so formal."

"Be it as you wish."

"Uh…okay?" Xiang said, while slowly backing away from Ma Chao. All of a sudden…

"Hi, I'm Da Qiao of Wu! I'm Lord Sun Ce's widower."

"Um, hello Lady Qiao…"

(Later on)

SSX and Da both had a wonderful time taking a look around Shu; SSX also noticed that Da was taking more interests in looking around Jiang Wei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao. But, she still wondered when she would see this Liu Bei again. She wanted to know more about him. She had so many questions to ask him but, she never got to see him that whole entire day. "I'm going to find him tomorrow!" SSX exclaimed. "Find who tomorrow?"

Da asked curiously. "No one." SSX replied.
………………………………………………………………………………..

The next day Da got up and went to go to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and she screamed. Her hair was so Medusa like. She looked all over the palace for a comb but, there were none.

"Humph! What kind of palace doesn't have a comb!" Da pouted.

"Here use this."

"Why thank you." Da said. Then she took a long pause. She turned around and saw Zhao Yun there. "Ah!"

"Please calm down Da Qiao."

"(Holding her mouth shut)"

"I have to ask you a favor."

"Um…okay I'm all ears!"

"Shh!"

"Oh right sorry?"

"Well since you are a woman and all…"

"Yes go on…"

"There's this woman I must have but, she doesn't notice me all that much."

"Jeez, a man like you, and she's not falling to her feet. That's interesting."

"Uh…well could you help in anyway?"

"Yep, I can. But, it's not going to be easy."

"What ever it takes."

"Okay. Knowing that she probably already likes you from your looks will make it more simple. So, I will be your pretend Fiancé."

"…"

"What does she do for a living?"

"She works at a restaurant."

"Is that it?"

"I guess."

"Okay. Then all I have to do is ask SSX if I can live at your place for a short temporary time limit."

"Da this doesn't sound good."

"Well, you're the one who came to me mister."

"Okay. Let's get to then."

Okay I know that I'm sorta making Zhao Yun weak and pathetic. But, it's not going to be like that for the whole story. Plus remember this is a "Stage" for Zhao Yun. And thanks for reading again! Bye, Bye! I'm so bored of Spring Break though…(sighs). 
