Well here goes the new version of chapter two. Things change a lot and sorry for all the grammatical errors. What I meant by doing a lot of editing was with the main story itself, so yeah. Still, I have to say…having some of the fan fictions in script format makes it seem better. Err…I can't really explain what I'm trying to say here. :P Oh well…

::Chapter 2::
It was a dark and stormy day with three days already passed. We find the three kingdoms all at their own palaces and Wu is still getting their preparations ready, Shu's strategists are still working on the perfect strategy, and Wei is still behind on information to come up with a battle tactic. There is also a rumor circling about that a persistent nuisance of a leader has come back from the depths of utter defeat and hell. However, the three kingdoms didn't bother.

WEI
The tall lean figure, Zhang He, entered the strategist's study room and bowed down before the man.
In an eerily happy voice with somewhat a horrible elegant accent, "Lord Sima Yi, a messenger wishes to see you."
"Bring him in," said the Sima Yi with his strategist fan in front of the bottom half of his face.
Perhaps carrying it around with him constantly was very inspirational. Who knows what Sima Yi was thinking. He turned back to look upon his maps while Zhang He fetched the messenger. As he did so, a large amount of noise and commotion came. What was that? A sound of a tiger?! Zhang came back in hauling a tiger with a red collar on it; on the collar was attached the letter in a special scroll case. Sima Yi was hesitant before reaching for the message. Slowly…
"Rawwrr!" :3
The tiger tried to strike at him! How dare it! No doubt, it was Sun Jian's tiger pet. Sima Yi recalled that Sun Jian had some men along the border which they shared with Wu. With spies he was able to find out that the Wu men stationed there were to lookout for a small tiger. "Small?? Heh…it's large enough to take down a horse or two! You little--"
"RAWWRR!"
"What the hell! Damn cat!" The frustration of not being able to retrieve the letter from an overgrown Sun pet must have been showing on his face. Zhang He took the scroll off from the small latch and simply handed it to the strategist.
Sima Yi's brow twitched, "How did you do that?"
"I have a way with animals. It's movements are so graceful and powerful." Zhang He begun petting it while it purred loudly.
Hating the scene Sima Yi ordered, "Take that thing out of here!"
The tiger looked at Zhang He with glassy eyes; Zhang He felt so much compassion for it. However, he must follow orders. "Sorry, my little friend but you must leave now." The tiger whined then looked at Sima Yi baring its massive fangs at him. "C'mon now," Zhang He said as he tugged the collar and lead it out.
"Stupid creature! What kind of an lunatic would have something like that for a pet?!" The strategist's mind was filled with nothing but criticism of the foolish actions done by (those he called) idiots. That Zhang He is ever so strange. That Sun Jian's despicable taste for pets. He finally opened the case and read the contents of the paper. Zhang He returned and immediately Sima Yi told him to go inform Cao Cao and the rest of the notorious generals that there will be a meeting held in the strategy chamber. Zhang He did so.

SHU
Sitting at the round table in the strategy room were Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Jiang Wei in the midst of a very important conversation. At least, the two older strategists were; Jiang Wei sat back and pretended to listen while staring off in the space between the two occasionally blinking and turning his head from one man to the other.
"Listen to what I say! Sleeping Dragon has much more of a meaning than your Flocking Phoenix."
"Hey! It's Fledgling Phoenix!"
"At least flocking phoenixes can most likely fly!"
"A fledgling phoenix is still more dedicated to do things than a sleeping dragon!"
Jiang Wei gave a deep sigh. This wasn't the first time these two made it seem like they were coming up with a plan just by pointless arguments in the strategy room. He swept his hand through his bangs. "How did I get into this?" He looked at the two. "I am way too good-looking and young to be hanging with these two…I should be out there with guys like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. Always riding out there on patrol seeing pretty girls here and there. Hm…that Guan Ping seems too much like a daddy's boy." He continued with random thoughts.
The conversation between the two elder suddenly changed. With a sweep of Zhuge Liang's magic strategist fan a large map appeared on the table out of no where. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Zhuge Liang said.
The person did so. It was Yue Ying with a tray of snacks and tea. "How are things coming along?" she asked her husband and the two other while pouring tea for them. They thanked her as she did so.
"Very slowly," replied the Prime Minister.
"I see. Well, I'll leave these here. A servant will come later to get it."
Yue Ying made her way out and slowly closed the door. Zhuge Liang made sure the door was closed and she left before speaking. The atmosphere in the room was no longer the same; it became serious.
"Tell me Zhuge Liang, have you had an unusual feeling lately?" Pang Tong asked.
"Heh, I was just going to ask the same thing," Zhuge Liang grinned, "and you Jiang Wei?"
"Certainly."

WU
Everyone was busy with preparations and barely spoke with each other. Sun Jian was probably the only who didn't have much to do. He sat on his throne with a worried look on his face. "I hope my little Fufu is okay." He got up and begun pacing back and forth in attempt to lose the thought.
Huang Gai took notice and shook his head thinking, "He must be thinking of the tiger and that means he won't get any sleep. He'll be even more moody tomorrow than usual," walking away to get other things ready "he's still like the kid he was. You'd think he gotten out of those mood shifts."

Well, that's chapter 2. This is probably the worse chapter yet! Er, don't kill me plz? I know…I know. It's not much...at all, but I've just been really busy with things and to be honest, I just haven't felt like working on fanfics much with all the other things going on. Maybe I'll start updating more when school starts. Hopefully, I'll have a lot more free time…since college schedule do seem to be more lenient. (')
