HELLSING CHRONICLES
DIANAPRINCE31
Ch34. What's the Deal with Nick Names?
Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing. If I did all these awesome fics I wrote would be in the anime. Or maybe it's own anime.
Integra was not big on nicknames, she never understood them. For example there was Pip Bernadotte, captain and leader of the Wild Geese mercenary company. Integra didn't know where he got the name 'Pip'. What the hell did 'Pip' mean anyway? It sounded something you called a little boy, which Pip acted like at times. Pip was what some would call the seeds of fruit. Or worse 'pip' was something some moron, most likely American, would say to make fun of British or what they thought was a cliché British thing. The fools did not realize two things, the first was Integra had never, will never say 'pip pip cheerio' and the second was history of the phrase. According to Merriam-Webster was 'particularly cheery of old fashioned British farewells, was said to have been formed in an imitation of the sound made by a car horn.' So imagine the horror when one morning Seras bounced into Integra's office and said, "Sir, your name is too long."
"I did not choose my name."
"Why don't I give you a nick name?"
"No thank you. I am fine with my given name."
"How about Teggy?"
"No."
"Tegs?"
"No."
"Oohh I know, Inty."
"Please stop, Seras."
"Maybe Int?"
"Why don't you think of a nick name for yourself?"
"That sounds like fun!"
Two hours later Seras returned to Integra's office, "My name is just too short, Sir."
"This nickname thing is nonsense, Seras."
"Winny!"
"What?"
"Winny for Wingates, get it?"
Integra rubbed the bridge of her nose; she knew that a headache was coming. Where was that bottle of Aleve?
"Hey, how about Fairy for Fairbrook? Or Brook?"
"Just stop already! I don't want a bloody nickname!"
Seras eyes were downcast, "I'm sorry, Sir" and the vampire left the room. Alucard appeared and said, "Now you made her cry."
"No one asked you for your input, Al."
