"Een two hours. Geet ready."

"Hey hon, you want to get something to drink before we head out again?"
"Sure, why not."
As the two approached Trunks' Pub and Dance Dance Revolution Hut, the clock hit 11:00, about an hour and a half before the group would leave on their mission.
When Heero and Riza walked into the pub, they noticed that two groups existed--everyone that was drunk, and a bunch of people huddled around a table.
"Hey, is there a bartender? We need some water, but we don't see a bartender," Heero asked.
No one responded. So, Heero asked again.
"Is there a bartender?"
Hikki got irritated and decided to take a break from all the planning to go help them out.
"You want zome water?" Hikki asked in his French accent.
"Yeah, two glasses please. We're just passing through here, and we just wanted to have a couple of drinks," Riza said.
As Hikki got two glasses of water with ice, he asked, "Zo, where are you two from?"
"We just came from Babblstan," Heero responded.
"Ah, Babblztan. Nice place," Hikki said.
"Yep, pretty nice place out there," Riza said. "Hey, I'll be right back. I have to go use the restroom." She gave Heero a kiss on the cheek before going upstairs to use the bathroom.
"Eez that your geerlfreeend?" Hikki asked once Riza was out of sight.
"She's my wife. We've been married for about five years," Heero said, displaying his ring.
"Oh..." Hikki said with disappointment. "Because ee was about to say, you're pretty handzome yourzelf." He slid his hand onto his, and grabbed it tightly. "Ee leeke zomeone who'z 'cute.'" Hikki then proceeded to inch closer to Heero, attempting to seduce them despite the fact that he was married.
By then, Riza had come back, and once she saw the scene she jumped over the bar, pushed Hikki to the ground, and pulled a pistol on him.
"And just what the fuck are you doing?" Riza said with authority.
"Ee was doing nozeeng," Hikki said.
"Bullshit, I saw you hitting on my husband," she said back.
"Huzband? I never zought zo!" he said calmly, despite the pistol aimed at his forehead.
"Hon, how many times do we have to go through with this? He wasn't hitting on me!" Heero said, trying to break it up. Riza immediately put her gun back in her hoslter and picked him up.
"Sorry for the confusion, sir," Riza said, apologizing.
"No worreeez, ee get zat all ze time," Hikki said, brushing off the dirt from his jacket.
"What, a gun to your face?" Riza asked. Hikki just nodded, and both Heero and Riza shared a laugh.
**********
"Zo, what bringz you here to zees place?" Hikki asked.
"Well, we're currently looking for jobs right now. We're freelance snipers," Heero said, as he opened up the case he had on the floor to reveal a scoped Kar98k rifle. "We take any job for the right price."
"Orly?" Hikki said, gathering up an idea. "Well, ee am heading a rezeestance movement, and we are headeeng out zoon to go rezcue preezonerz. Then, we plan to joeen up with ozer movementz, take down Ozzal and her army, and reztore our peaceful leevez."
"Resistance movement?" Heero inquired. "A lot of the jobs we've been getting involved taking out key members related to Ozzal. Plus, we've been wanting to get her since she started that war between her country and Babblstan thirteen years ago. In fact, we'll work with you for a discount, because we both have the same goals."
"For realz?" Hikki said. Both nodded in response. "Zen we have a deal?" he asked. Both nodded again. "Zen you're heered! And by the way, what are your namez?"
"I'm Heero, and this is my wife Riza," Heero introduced himself and his wife. "And your name?"
"Hikki," he said.
"So, when do we head out?" Riza asked.
"Een one hour," Hikki confirmed.
"Oh, and one more thing," she said, and whispered into his ear, "If I see you hitting on my husband, you'll be lucky to be alive."
