Hey readers...here is another chapter I wrote a few days ago.

cheryl24: Quarantine is hard. I have my three kids at home with me, and even though they are always home-schooled, its hard to explain to them that they cant go out a play for a little while and that they have to stay home all the time. Not being able to go out and spend time with my cousin, who is also my best friend is hard. We're getting by and were healthy, that's all that matters. I hope you and your family are all safe and healthy too. As for your request for a one shot about the boys reacting to The Mandalorian and baby Yoda...don't hate me...but...I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies (hides behind cushions). If there is any other movie or TV show you want me to do a reaction oneshot about, let me know. (Hopefully, its one I've seen lol, I'm from the UK, so we always get movies and TV shows after everyone else)

takers dark lover: Thank yoooou! It's nice to be back. It's nice to have found my groove again, because for while, I lost it. I was struggling to put pen to paper or fingers to keys, and writing began to feel more like a chore, then writing for fun. Thankfully, I took a break and was able to reset my mind and come up with some fresh ideas.

Wolfgirl2013: Thank you! It's good to be back :-)

Moxbrose24: I am currently writing the next few chapters of the Far From Home series and hope to have them up in a few days. I'm glad you enjoyed the last few chapters. I'm a huge fan of Marvel too and that last movie left me with a pain that no amount of time can heal.

Dana1: You all deserve to be spoiled. You've all waited so long for me to update Three Amigos! and you all will never truly know how grateful I am that you've waited so patiently and still read the story.

Aidecky: Strap yourself in, cos its about to get craaaaazzzzyyyyy lol

bookworm027: I plan on doing a chapter where Joe tells the boys about the Leukaemia he had before he was at WWE. The chapter will be titled 'Secrets'.

Jenny McDugal: Thank you x I'm glad you're liking the new chapters. Marley and Me had me sobbing, so you're not alone there lol

ClassicPurpleRoses: I'm so glad that you enjoyed reading the last chapter. If Three Amigos! can put a smile on your face, then I know I'm doing something right. Thank you :-)

Captain Ninjoy: Thank yoooou! I'm glad you're enjoying the new updates. I don't think that what was watching the boys was human...put it that way :-s

The Man They Call The Truth: I'm so glad you liked the last chapter. Thank you so much for your review :-)

If any of you are Key Workers or have any family or friends that are Key Workers during this global fight, I'm sending my thanks, love and prayers for you all.

I hope you're all well, and keeping safe during the craziness that is going on with the Covid-19 epidemic.

Enjoy the update x


Attack of The Cacti

"Where are you guys going?" Joe asked his friends from his spot on the armchair.

"For a bike ride up the old mountain trail" Jon told him as he tightened the wrist strap of his riding gloves.

"Yeah, wanna join?" Colby asked him.

The Samoan shook his head.

"I wish I could, but my bike got a flat the last time we went up the old trail" he answered as he randomly flicked through TV channels.

Colby tutted.

"Man, you still haven't got that tire fixed?" he asked.

Jon snickered.

"No Mom, I haven't" Joe told him with a huff, before popping a pretzel into his mouth, chewing loudly.

Colby rolled his eyes as he began to tie his hair into a loose bun at the nape of his neck.

"We'll miss you" he said sarcastically.

Joe squinted his eyes at the smaller man before throwing one of his pretzels at him.

"Hey, stop throwing food. I vacuumed this morning" Jon warned his friend.

The larger man mumbled an apology before raising his middle finger to a now chuckling Colby Lopez.

After securing all their safety gear tightly, the two men made their way to the front door.

"Ok, were going now" Colby told his friend, who remained lazily sprawled out on his favourite seat.

"Have fun" he said as he raised his arm and gave a small wave, his eyes never leaving the TV screen.

Both of his friends snickered as they began to leave.

"Do you have a phone with you?" the Samoan called out, just as Jon was about to shut the front door.

The younger man opened it again and stuck his head back into view.

"What did you say?" he asked.

This time, Joe did turn to look at him.

"I said, did you take a phone with you?" he asked.

"Why would we need a phone for?" the blonde asked.

"We're going for a bike ride" he added, as though it were obvious.

The tattooed man huffed.

"I know that moron. You take a phone for safety reasons" he told his friend.

Jon just stared at him blankly.

Joe huffed again.

"Just take a damn phone with you" he told his friend.

From outside the front door, Colby was getting increasingly impatient.

"What's taking so long Jonathan?" he called out to his friend.

Said man turned around to look at him with a warning glare.

"He said we need to take a phone" he told the smaller man through gritted teeth.

"Why?" Colby asked confused.

"We're going for a bike ride" he added.

Jon nodded.

"I know. I told him that" he said, perplexed.

Colby huffed as he lay his bike down on the floor of their drive way and stomped up to the front door.

"What are you blabbering on about in here?" he asked the tattooed man.

Joe stood up, walked over to the kitchen counter and picked up Jon's phone.

He then walked over to the man and placed it in his palm.

"Just. Take. The. Damn. Phone" he warned.

Both of his friends stared at him questioningly.

"Ughh. Fine" the Ohioan said as he tucked it into the waist band of his shorts, not having any pockets to put in.

"But. Why?" Colby asked again.

Joe began to feel agitated now.

"The amount of years we've known each other, and you ask me why?" the man asked.

"You two are a magnet for trouble" he told them, earning himself shocked, hurt looks from both men.

"You're both more in trouble then not, so stop asking me stupid questions and run along" he said giving them a shooing motion.

"Ok. Fine. We'll take a phone. But we won't need to use it" Colby told him matter of factly.

Joe laughed loudly and then abruptly stopped.

"Keep telling yourself that, pretty boy. You two enjoy your bike ride, and I, will keep my phone at hand for when you call me, which you WILL do, because it's you two, and you don't know how to stay out of trouble if it killed you…literally" he told them.

"That's harsh" Jon told him.

Joe nodded.

"Harsh, but true" he replied.

"Now, go enjoy your bike ride, which I know, is ultimately doomed for failure" he said before closing the front door in both men's faces.

They stood there for a moment in shock.

"Can you believe that?" Colby asked.

Both men eventually set off for their biking trip with the wind blowing softly and the sun on their backs.


The two men had been riding on the old mountain trail for about an hour before they decided to stop for a break and to rehydrate from all the sweating they'd been doing.

Jon lay his bike down on the dirt path before standing up and stretching.

As he raised his arms above his head, he felt something fall onto his foot.

When he looked down, he saw that it was his phone.

He tutted, before bending down to retrieve it.

"I knew this would get in the way" he mumbled, before tucking it back into his waist band.

"Yeah. I don't know what his deal was" Colby said after taking a long chug from his water bottle.

"We've all been up here hundreds of times. Nothing bad has ever happened" he added.

"He's just being overly cautious" he said as he took another long chug of water.

"To be fair…he does kind of make a point" Jon told him as he wiped a hand down his sweaty face.

Colby narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Jon rolled his eyes.

"Oh, come on! You have to admit, you do have a knack for finding unwanted trouble" he told his friend.

Colby's mouth dropped open slightly.

"I do NOT have a habit of finding trouble. That's all you dude. I just happen to be in the same place and time as you when you do something stupid, and I end up getting dragged into your mess" the smaller man said.

Jon stared at him.

"Oh really?" he asked.

Colby nodded.

"Oh absolutely" he told him.

"Ok. Name ONE thing that I've done ON MY OWN that just happened to drag you into said situation, with you having no actual part in it" Jon challenged him.

"Ok, well, there was that time when you went to get the frisbee from next doors garden and nearly got mauled by the insane dog and me and Joe had to help you back over the fence" Colby told him.

Jon shook his head.

"Nope. It was YOU and Joe that lost the frisbee next door in the first place. I just went to get it for you to stop your bitchin" he told his friend.

Colby huffed.

"Ok fine. What about the time that you couldn't close your suitcase because you never fold your clothes and I had to help you and Joe thought we were making out?" he asked, folding his arms.

Again, Jon shook his head.

"Doesn't count" he told the smaller man.

"WHAT? Why not" Colby asked him.

"Because it was YOUR idea to help me. I was perfectly fine struggling on my own. YOU were the one that started using your body weight to hold it closed and was grunting in a provocative manner, thus causing the big moron to think we were screwing. That had nothing to do with me" the blonde told him with a smirk.

It was a known fact that Colby Lopez, HATED losing an argument.

Jon could see the frustration and rage simmering under the surface of the smaller man's features.

He stood there glaring at him with the intensity of the devil himself.

"You think you're so innocent and you make me out to be the one that's always causing trouble, but its actually you" Jon told him.

"WHAT?" Colby shouted.

"Hey, don't give me the glare of death" Jon told him.

"I'm just stating facts" he added.

Colby ground his teeth together.

"Ok. How about YOU name something I've caused then. I bet you can't" he said with a smug smirk.

"Oh, my pleasure. How about the time when we all went out to the bar with Phil and Randy and you hit on that guys girlfriend and then punched him, and we got arrested for being 'drunk and disorderly'. That was all you dude" he reminded the man.

"Or the time that you took Joe's car without asking and thought you'd dented it and ended up dragging me along to get it fixed, only to find out that the dent was already there" he told him.

Colby was getting redder with irritation.

"OR…how about the time I asked you for weeks to take the Christmas lights down and you didn't do it and then when you finally did, you ended up falling off of the roof" Jon told him.

"What does that have to do with this conversation?" Colby asked

"Because, if you'd have done it when I'd asked you to, me and Joe would have been home and probably would have helped you. Instead, you left it too long and we weren't home when you fell. Then we both ended up having to drive you to the hospital. Remember that?" the Ohioan asked.

"Face it dipshit. YOU are the trouble maker in this little group of ours" he added with a shit eating grin plastered across his face.

Colby lowered his arms at his side, the man practically levitating with rage.

"You take that back" he told his friend.

"No" Jon told him.

"Take it back" Colby warned again.

Jon shook his head as his smile grew, looking eerily similar to the Cheshire cat; dimples and all.

With a scream, unlike anything Jon had heard the smaller man produce before, Colby leapt onto his friend and began to smack him wherever he could.

Jon fell backwards under the sudden added weight and brought his arms up to protect his face and head from Colby's erratic blows.

"What are you doing?" he managed to grunt out as Colby kept slapping him.

"STOP" he shouted, as he caught a fairly vicious blow to the side of the head.

When he realised that his friend wasn't stopping his assault anytime soon, Jon decided it was time to fight back.

He grabbed one of Colby's hands and twisted it, earning a grunt of pain from his attacker.

Then, using the small window of opportunity, he bucked the man off of his hips and grabbed him from behind into a chokehold.

Colby growled in frustration and clawed at the floor to help get his legs back under him.

Before Jon knew it, he was being semi piggy backed by his friend, all the while, holding steadfast on his chokehold.

Colby grunted as the arms around his neck got tighter.

"Fucker" he growled, as he began to try and shake Jon off of his back.

The momentum shifted Jon's weight unevenly and Colby ended up tripping over their bikes that had been discarded on the side of the dirt trail, both men falling and rolling down a small incline.

They both grunted as they came to a stop.

Their adrenaline still running high.

"You're an asshole" Colby said breathlessly.

Jon laughed.

"Yeah, well, this asshole just proved you wrong" he replied.

Colby growled again as he felt something digging into the back of his exposed arm.

He looked down to see what it was and gave a small shriek when he saw where he and his friend had landed.

"Oh fuck" Jon said, at the same time that Colby had realised where their fight had landed them.

"It's cacti" Colby said through tightly clenched teeth.

"I know it is, you absolute biological mutation" Jon said angrily.

"Fuck you" Colby growled.

"This is your fault" he added.

"MY FAULT?" Jon shouted.

"Who attacked who here?" he asked irritated by the man's presence.

It was quiet for a few seconds.

"What do we do now?" Colby asked.

"Oh, I don't know…I'm always the one that causes these situations, right? Why don't you think of something, mister innocent" Jon barked at him.

They secretly both knew what they'd have to do.

They just didn't have the pride enough to say it out loud.

Eventually, Jon sighed loudly.

He reached down and was glad to find his phone still in the waist band of his shorts.

"God dammit" he mumbled angrily as he pressed the number on the screen.

"Put it on speakerphone" Colby panted.

Jon huffed, but did as his friend asked.

After a few rings, the line cleared, and a chucking was heard, causing both men to groan loudly.

"Well, well, well" the deep voice said.

"And who is it that said they wouldn't need a phone?" the voice asked.

Jon bit his tongue to keep his anger in check.

"What kind of trouble did you two idiots get yourselves into this time?" the voice asked.

"We need help" Colby said, his eyes screwing shut in pain.

"Do you now?" the voice asked.

Both men could hear the smirk on the man's face through the phone.

"And what is it you need help with exactly?" he asked both men.

Jon swallowed, trying to moisten his dry mouth.

"The little prick you call a brother, attacked me, and we fell into a cacti bush" he told his friend.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Doomed. For. Failure" the voice stated.

Both men huffed.

"Please note, that I'm giving you an eye roll of EPIC proportions" Colby told him.

"I'll be there as soon as I can" the voice grumbled.

"BRING PLIERS" Colby shouted before the line got disconnected.

Jon dropped the phone on the floor beside him as he took a deep breath, trying to breathe through the pain.

"What do we do now?" Colby asked for a second time.

Jon grunted as he tried to move.

"Why do you keep asking me?" he asked annoyed.

"If you hadn't of pounced on me like a crazed animal, none of this would have happened" he told him angrily.

"Now here I am, with fucking cacti spines littering my body, all because you couldn't admit that you cause situations, exactly like the one we're currently in" he added.

Colby sighed.

He knew his friend was right.

He would never admit that to him out loud ofcorse, but he knew that there was some truth to what the man had been saying.

He admittedly would pin a lot of the blame on Jon, simply because it was easy to do, and no one ever really questioned it.

Eventually, it became a bad habit.

One that he was slightly ashamed of, but also one that his pride wouldn't allow him to admit to anyone, other than himself.

Jon managed to get into a somewhat upright position.

He looked down furiously at the smaller man.

"Why do I put up with you?" he spat.

"Because…" Colby started, as he too pushed himself up into a seated position.

"I'm your best friend…and there is nothing you can do about it" he told the man in front of him.

Jon glared at him.

"You know, sometimes, I have to remind myself that killing you, isn't worth the prison time" he said as he started to try and stand.

Colby chuckled dryly.

With a tremendous amount of pain, and a lot of swearing, Jon finally managed to get himself into a standing position.

"Oh fuuuuck" he groaned, once he was stood upright.

"Help me up dude" Colby asked, as he held out his hand.

Jon slapped it away.

"Fuck you" he told him, before trying to pull out a cacti spine that was digging into the back of his knee.

He grit his teeth and sucked in air audibly as he tried to wiggle the object free of its invasion of his body.

Colby winced as the spike was pulled from his friend's body and blood began to travel down the back of the man's legs.

"Mother nature sucks, huh?" he asked, trying to somewhat lighten the mood.

"Mother nature is a whore" Jon snapped.

Colby winced again as Jon began to try and pull another spike from the palm of his hand.

This one wasn't coming out so easy.

As Jon continued to pull as many spikes as he could from his body, Colby slowly and painfully managed to get to his feet.

"Owwwww" he moaned, as the cacti spines continued to dig and pull on his skin.

He began to copy his friend and tried to pull out as many spikes as he could.

"Where's a stiff drink when you need one?" he asked, his question falling on deaf ears.

A little while later, both men had given up on removing anymore of the foreign objects from their body as their adrenaline had worn off and now all they could feel was pain.

Both men were stood in silence, so it made it easy for them to hear the approaching footsteps on the path above them.

They both kept absolutely still as the footsteps got louder and closer.

They were both suddenly thrust into the shade of someone's shadow.

They looked up and saw Joe standing there, a grin on his face.

"You look like hedgehogs" he told them as he began to laugh.

"Screw you dude" Colby told him.

"Help?" Jon asked.

Joe took pity on his little brothers and went to join them in their literal pit of pain and despair.

He pulled out a set of pliers and grinned.

"Dr Anoa'i is in the house. Who's first?" he asked as he opened the pliers dramatically.

Both men groaned.

This was going to hurt like a son of a bitch.

"I hate you" Jon said through gritted teeth to the man standing next to him.

Colby gave him a sheepish smile.

"I hate you too" he replied, with sincere love and affection.
