----------------------------------------(Zhou Yu and the two Qiao's)-------------------------------

"There! We are finally here!" Da Qiao shouted as they saw Sun Ce's house beyond the path.
"Well, we better…wait." "What's wrong Zhou Yu?" Xiao asked.
"Shoot! I lost the question I was gonna ask Ce!" Zhou Yu began to try and think as hard as possible, unsuccessfully, his question never came back.
"Oh well, I guess we'll just have to let him meet our neighbor." Da continued to run ahead. Xiao followed and Zhou Yu never noticed that they were running off without him. He finally looked up and noticed they were gone.
"…Hey! Wait for me!" Zhou Yu began to follow them.

----------------------------------------(Sun Ce and Sun Jian)-----------------------------------------

"There. I explained everything about the powers. Can I go now?" Ce asked anxiously. His father looked at him. Then he smiled.
"What are you smiling about?" Ce glared at his father.
"Just funny that you would tell me something like that." Jian began to laugh and Sun Ce got up.
"I thought you weren't going to laugh!" Ce yelled, angrily and then they heard someone knocking at their door.
"Are you going to get that or are you going to make me, your old man, get up and get it?" Sun Ce walked slowly to the door.
"Hello?...Hey! Da! What are you doing here!" Sun Ce exclaimed.
"I was just wondering if you would like to come with us to meet our new neighbor! He has a really big house." Da explained. She looked back to see Xiao waiting for Zhou Yu to catch up.
"Come on you slowpoke!" She yelled back at Zhou Yu. He glared at her and began to run a little bit faster. He finally made it there and he was out of breath.
"Hey…Sun Ce." Zhou Yu said. Sun Ce smiled and began to laugh hysterically.
"You really are slow now aren't you?" Sun Ce laughed. He then settled down and opened the door to let them in.
"You guys want to come in for a second?" Ce invited. They shook their heads and came in.
"So…your friends are here. They didn't even let you know." Sun Jian got up and walked over to them.
"Okay, let us be for a little while, okay?" Ce led his group to his room.
"What happened between you and your father? I thought you two were close." Da questioned. Ce looked down and shook his head.
"It's nothing…anyway, what are you guys doing here?" Sun Ce asked again.
"Well, we wanted to know if you would come with us to meet our new neighbor! He's really nice!" Xiao Qiao explained.
"I guess, who is he?" Ce asked another question.
"You'll find out if you come with us." Da replied. Silence filled the room. Then they all got up and walked out the door.
"Hey, I am going out for a little while, okay?" Sun Jian looked over to his son, who had already closed the door. "I didn't even say yes. Pushy, isn't he?" He sat down and stared out the window.

-----------------------------------------(Zhen Ji)-----------------------------------------------------

"What are you going to do to me?" Zhen Ji screamed at her kidnappers.
"We aren't gonna do nothin' to you…will we?" The stranger looked to his partner and his partner shook his head side to side.
"Nope…nothing boss. We took out that little boy who was following us." He explained.
'No. I hope he's okay…Zhang He…' Zhen Ji thought. Then she caught herself. She was thinking about him again! " What am I thinking about him for?" She questioned herself. Then she was hit in the head by something.
"Owww! What was that for?" She looked at the guys who had stolen her. They looked at her confused. She looked at them accusingly and still neither one said that they had done anything. Then she became very confused.
'Who did that?' She wondered. She looked at the object that had hit her from behind. It was a stick. 'Just forget about it.' She thought to herself. She was then hit by another stick. This time it was a bit bigger.
"What the HECK! Who keeps throwing sticks at me!" She looked around her. She noticed that she was sitting in front of a window.
'Whoever is doing that, I swear I will hunt them down and KILL THEM!' She began to think of how she was going to get out of there when she was once again hit by…another stick.
"Okay, THAT'S IT! LET ME GO! I want to KILL whoever is out there throwing STICKS at my HEAD!" She started to struggle out of her ropes. She noticed that she wasn't doing anything, so eventually, she gave up. The two men looked at her and started to laugh uncontrollably. Then a figure appeared outside of the window.
"Who's there?" Zhen Ji said shakily. Then she felt herself being lifted off her chair. She screamed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Someone else had stolen her. Then the thought raced through her head 'Why does everyone want me?' When she had finally gotten through the window, she noticed that she knew that person. It was… Zhang He!
"What are you doing here you moron?" She hollered. He winced in pain, for Zhen Ji had screamed in his ear.
"Please! Take it easy on the ears!" Zhang He exclaimed. She glared at him.
"…I hate you… You made me believe that someone else wanted to kidnap me!" Zhen Ji complained.
"Sorry to startle you…anyway, lets get you untied and…" Zhang He was suddenly pulled back into a headlock.
"Hey! You're pretty gutsy to try and take her from us! I thought you said you got rid of this kid!" The stranger looked back at his partner. "Sorry, I guess I didn't hit him hard enough."
"Let…me…go!" Zhang He struggled to get free. He started to feel dizzy and felt like fainting.
"Noooo! Let him go…ugh!" Zhen Ji had been recaptured. She tried to get free, but to no success.
'No. I mustn't let her get captured again!' Zhang He thought. He then felt an on come of power. He began to glow purple. The man who had captured him let him go. He fell to the ground in a daze.
"What's happening to him?" The stranger wondered. Zhang He stood up quickly and unleashed a powerful attack. It came from the ground in an overwhelming unleashment of power. The stranger was then overcome by darkness. He found himself in a whirlwind of darkness.
"What the…" He was then swept away…never to be seen again.
The other stranger fled in terror. Then Zhang He stopped glowing and fell to the ground. He had his hand on his head.
"Zhang He! Are you…okay?" Zhen Ji asked. Once again she found herself concerned about Zhang He.
Zhang He didn't reply. Instead he fainted.
"What the heck? That's weird. I wonder what that was?" She shrugged and then sat down on the ground, waiting for him to get up.

----------------------------------------(Sun Ce and the gang)-----------------------------------------

"Hurry up! You two are so slow!" The two Qiao's yelled. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu just mumbled to themselves.
"Stop complaining you two! Jeez…guys are so lazy these days." Xiao said to her sister. Da just shook her head in agreement.

(A few minutes later)
"Now look who the slow ones are." Sun Ce retorted playfully.
"SHUT UP YOU IDIOTS!" Da replied.
"Just because we got a little tired doesn't mean anything!" Xiao added.
" We don't even know where we are going Ce. How do you expect…"
"Don't worry Zhou Yu, I can find my way around anywhere." Sun Ce said confidently. Zhou Yu looked at him and then shook his head.

(A few hours later)

--------------"Ugh…okay, now I'm lost." Sun Ce had led the group in a circle. Da and Xiao came up to him. They shook their heads and ran in the right direction.
"…Well, I guess you can't find your way through anywhere, Ce." Zhou Yu looked over at his friend, who was still thinking about how he got lost.
"We're here." Da said as she looked up at the huge house that was next to hers and Xiao's.
"…Woah…It's huge! Is this kid rich or something?" Sun Ce questioned while looking up at the house.
"Well, I guess you could say that." Xiao said. She then ran up to the door and knocked. "Hey…Da? Do you think it's a good idea to just drop in like this?" Xiao quarried. Da thought for a minute, then shook her head. Then the door opened.
"Hi! We brought our other two friends along so that you could meet them!" Xiao greeted happily. A short kid stood at the door. He was about as tall as Da Qiao and was a little taller than Xiao. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu towered over him.
"Oh…so you came back then…I am Lu Xun. Nice to…meet you…?" Lu Xun saw that Zhou Yu had a smile on his face and Sun Ce was turning red in the face, trying not to laugh. "What are you staring at?" Lu Xun asked furiously.
"…YOU!" Sun Ce started to holler with laughter, as did Zhou Yu. Lu Xun got ticked off and held up a fist.
"Don't make fun of my height you Piece of trash!" After Xun said that, Sun Ce stopped laughing and glared at Xun. Xun stuck his tongue out at him and Sun Ce jumped him.
"Now, now you two! Settle down!" Da Qiao intervened. She looked back at Zhou Yu, hoping that he would do something to stop it. He looked at her hopelessly. She put her hand on her head and sighed.
"SHUT UP YOU GUYS!" Xiao Qiao yelled. Xun and Ce both stopped right where they were and starred at her. "There! Now no more fighting! You got that?" She questioned. They both stood up and looked at each other. Then, reluctantly, Ce and Xun shook their heads, looking away from each other.
"We better keep those two separated." Zhou Yu suggested. The two Qiao's shook their heads.

--------------------------------------(Zhen Ji and Zhang He)---------------------------------

'I wonder if he'll be okay.' Zhen Ji thought. She had gotten a cloth from inside the hut that she was held prisoner in. She wet it down and put it on Zhang He's forehead. She had put him on a bed that was in the hut.
'What was that…thing he did? It was so…intense. Is this what people were afraid of in school?' She began to wonder and ponder all types of questions. She got a chair and sat near Zhang He. She starred down at him.
'He really has changed a lot lately. I wonder…if he is still…no. He can't change that fact…I only wish…that he could be straight.' She began to sympathize for him. She noticed that her eyes started to swell up with tears. She didn't know what the tears were from, but they were threatening to fall. She quickly got up and walked to the window. She leaned on the windowsill, still wondering different questions.
'I don't even know why I'm crying.' She looked back at Zhang He, who was still sleeping silently. She smiled a, somewhat, sad smile. She then looked back outside. The sun was setting in the distance, making the clouds red and orange. The sky was painted with red and farther in different directions; the sky had faded into a blue-purple color.
Zhen Ji was about to fall asleep, while leaning on the windowsill, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped and looked behind her quickly. Zhang He had woke up. She looked at him with tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Why are you crying?" He asked her. She gently shook her head.
"I…I don't know." She said shakily. Zhang he looked at her with a concerned look.
"Only you would know why. I can see something is bothering you. Please…tell me? I want to help." Zhang He told her, grabbing her other shoulder. She looked at him and pulled away.
"I don't want your help!" She replied. She didn't want him to know. She felt more tears come to her eyes.
"…Zhen Ji. I guess we should get you back home. If you do get enough courage to tell me then please do and I will do everything I can to make you feel better." Zhang He smiled at her. She turned to notice the smile and smiled back. Then she turned and walked to the door. She opened it and saw something in the sky. It was a type of bird. It had fire-red wings ant a tail that flew loosely behind it. Sparkles followed the path it took.
"Look! A phoenix! It's…beautiful." Zhen Ji said in amazement. She realized that this was a once in a life time event.
"Where?" Zhang He rushed out the door to see it. He looked at it in awe. The two stood there watching this magnificent bird fly off into the sunset. It was then that he realized his change. He was just like a regular boy now; he had fallen in love with a girl…a girl named Zhen Ji.
