Fenella stood still in the quiet rush of July Town. She let constant crowds pass her by while she searched silently for a hotel and a bar while on her spot. When the small rush died down for a small while, she found a saloon and walked through the swinging doors to find an interesting sight. The people who were already in the saloon saw this newcomer in the town of July to be a young woman with brown curly hair, green eyes that always seemed to change color, a dark blouse and a short skirt, and an aura of everlasting enigma surrounded her constantly.
The sight that Fenella saw was a few drunks staring at her, a not-so-friendly looking bartender, and of course…a blonde man with spiky hair on the other side of the saloon happily eating donuts. She smiled because in all her life, she had never seen a man look so happy. The blonde man stopped chewing on his donut to catch sight of Fenella. When he saw into her eyes, the blonde's eyes became filled with hearts. Fenella walked briskly to the bar and ordered some water to quench her thirst from the long ride to July Town. While she sipped from her cup, the blonde walked over to her, still carrying the box of donuts, and sat in the vacant chair next to her.
"Hi there," the blonde man said, "I haven't seen you here before. Are you new?"
"What?" Fenella asked curiously, the man's voice had become muffled during his last sentence by the collar of his red trench coat.
The man shifted in his coat until he was able to speak clearly. Fenella couldn't help but giggle at his efforts.
"Are you new?" he repeated.
"Yes," she said, "I am. Just got into town too. I just stopped by here to get a drink and cool off before I set off in search of a hotel room for the night."
"Oh, so you're just staying for the night then?"
"Well, I'm not sure. Maybe I'll have a better outlook on this town after a good night sleep." Fenella looked at the man still curious, "What's your name?"
"You know, I'm also looking for a hotel. Maybe we could look together." He said still unaware of her question.
"You still haven't answered me." Fenella said.
"I know," he replied, "and I'll tell you if you tell me what your name is."
"It's Fenella," she sighed, "it means 'white shoulder' "
"Oh, it's a very nice name"
"Thank you. Are you going to answer my question yet?"
"Eventually."
"Oh, come on. Be nice." Fenella said with a smile.
The man looked to the floor as if he didn't know what to say. After a few minutes, he whispered the name 'Vash'
Fenella raised an eyebrow; she realized that there was no way this cute man could possibly be the infamous Vash the Stampede, Humanoid Typhoon, the man with a bounty totaling over $$ 60 billion on his head. She blinked at him and smiled. Vash knew she thought he was lying: it was obvious in her eyes.
"How can you not believe me?" he asked at the exact moment several husky men with various guns entered the saloon.
One of the men that recently entered the saloon saw Fenella and grabbed her roughly by her hair. Vash protested this, but only ended up being pushed on the ground. The man that grabbed Fenella looked her up and down as a hungry child looked upon a meal. Both Vash and Fenella knew that what these men had planned for her wasn't anything to look forward too. Vash stood up, brushed himself up, and tried to be reasonable with the guys.
"Piss off you bloody pansy! All we want is the money, the girl, and no trouble to stop us." Growled of the men.
"Why do you want the girl?" Vash asked.
"That's nothing for gentlemen to discuss front of the women."
"In that case, be a gentleman and let the girl go."
"And why do I want to do that?" the man asked coldly.
A smile made a way on Vash' s face.
"Because all of you look ridiculous!" Vash said.
The men looked at each other with scared faces. While the men took Fenella, Vash used a squirt bottle of ketchup and squirted all the men with cute symbols that made the men seem very feminine. The men immediately ran out of the saloon, leaving Fenella behind. Fenella was stunned. She had seen Vash get perfect hits with a squirt bottle of ketchup and he managed to not squirt her with ketchup. Fenella rubbed her head and walked to Vash. She had her eyes wide open by amazement.
"You really are Vash the Stampede." She whispered.
