Author's Note: This story take place in my Fictional Fan Universe where some characters, worlds, and races from Star Wars, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Warhammer 40k, Diablo, StarCraft, Final Fantasy, Metroid, Zelda, Mass Effect, and Halo reside together.
It was currently late on a planet Gaia, as the sky was dark, filled with bright stars that illuminated the sky. Its two full moons shining brightly in the sky, gracefully shine upon Cornelia City, and a lot of its poeple gather in a square two-story building. The building its a Tavern and nearly everyone was either chattering happily at one another or they were sitting at the tables drinking while chatting at one another. Among them was a young female Burmecian who had upper back-length green-hair, turquoise-blue eyes.
Her name is Malia Farron and she is currently wearing a sleeveless green-light tight sweater, and a dark-gray tight-jeans. Malia was currently sitting in front of the counter while she was watching people dance or engage in conversation with a half-empty Glass in her hands. Malia spun the glass with condensation around the napkin, watching the half-empty glass before she took a sip from her drink. Malia then put her empty glass down on the table and motioned for the bartender to refill it with another drink.
"Bartender. Bring me another one." Malia called out to the bartender to refill her glass.
"This is your fourth shot. That's the limit. Enjoy your last shot." Said the bartender who was casually cleaning a glass.
Malia sighed, "The Gaia Empire sure has some strict rules."
"You said it." A male voice said getting Malia's attention.
Malia felt someone approached her, so she looked over and saw a tall muscular anthro-wolf male with spiky black hair, with brown fur on his body and with orange eyes with a small spiky-hair coming out of his chin. The male anthro-wolf is currently wearing a Puffier White-Vest with a fish-net shirt under it while expossing his right Cybernetic Arm, and is wearing cargo-style pants. The anthro-wolf male slid into the empty tool that was beside Malia's side before he tapped the counter, causing the bartender to wander over him.
"I'll have a cold Ramrock, please." He said to the bartender before he flash Malia with a smile, "And refill the lady her drink my treat."
Malia casually glanced at the male anthro-wolf as the bartender refills her glass before giving the anthro-wolf male his own drink that has a ruby-brown liquid on it. The Anthro-Wolf male then pulled out his credit-card from his wallet that was in his pocket pants and the bartender took it from his hand. Then the Bartender swiped it through a card-reader and handed it back to the Anthro-wolf Male, who placed his card back in his wallet into his pocket.
Then the Bartender turned its attention to one of the other patrons, leaving Malia and the Anthro-Wolf Male to sit there to enjoy their drinks. Malia looked at the anthro-wolf male before she gave the anthro-wolf male a smile and the Anthro-Wolf male looks back at Malia with a smirk on his face. They both raised their glasses to each other before they both tapped their glasses against the other's and drank from them.
"This was nice of you..." Malia said with a small smile on her face as she put her drink down on the counter, "Thanks!"
"No problem!" The Anthro-Wolf Male responded with a grin on his face, "You must be the famous, Malia Farron!" He said as he extended his hand at Malia.
"Yep that's me." Malia responded with a smile as she took his hand and shake it, "It's nice to meet you, sir."
"Oh! I haven't had a chance to introduce myself... My name is Barret Wallace, but just call me Barret." Barret the anthro-wolf male said as he flash a smirk at Malia as he shake Malia's hand before he let her hand go, "So what's a famous pretty lady like you doing here by yourself?" He asked smirking at Malia, "Are you supposed to have a big team of friends to hang out with?"
"Everyone is busy doing other things to hang out with me, but sometimes I like to spend the night alone too." Malia said softly to Barret before she sipped her drink.
Barret chuckled, "You don't mind if I keep you company?"
Malia chuckled, "Not at all." She said with smile on her face, "But I warn you that I am not the most chatted person, not that I am anti-social but I don't always have the answer." She said before she took a sip from her drink.
Barret chuckled before he took a sip from his drink, "So..." He began as he flash a smirk at Malia who looks at him, "Tell me a little about yourself..." He said as he still gave a flirtatious smile at Malia.
"Well, I'm the leader of a private military company called The Wild Rose. My group and I may be mercenaries, but we are not bad people. We are hardworking, honest and faithful to our word." Malia casually said before she then took a sip from her drink as she looks at Barret, "We pull in money, recruits to protect... Rubbing our noses in bloody battlefield dirt, all to protect. The galaxy calls for wetwork, and we answer. I guess you could say we are soldiers for pay. Except a lot more loyal than that makes us sound."
"Do you enjoy it?" Barret asked genuinely curious before he took a quick hearty swig from his drink.
"Sometimes..." Malia respond before she took a quick hearty swig from her drink and put the glass down, "Being a mercenary it's a dangerous job but someone's gotta do it. But I guarantee you won't go hungry because at the end of the day as long as there is life there will be conflict so there will be a job for you." She said with a small smile on her face before she took another quick hearty swig from her drink.
"Oh, that's something, I suppose." Barret said as he was smirking at Malia before he took another quick hearty swig from his drink.
"But what about you?" Malia asked before she took a quick hearty swig from her drink and put the glass down so she could gave Barret a smile, "What do you do for a living?"
"I'm an engineer working with the company Thunder Coms. That means I solve problems like fixing a tank or a ship." Barret calmly responded as he was still giving Malia a smile before he took a sip from his drink, "I lost my arm when a Zerg Hydralisk got past our defense and sliced my arm off." He said as he look at his right Cybernetic Arm before he took a sip from his drink.
"I am sorry for the lost of your arm." Malia said softly as she gave a polite smile to Barretwhile she rest her arms in the counter, "But at least you're alive that's important." She said and Barret smile at her as Malia took one last sip from her drink, "Anyway..." She calmly said as she then grabbed a napkin to clean her mouth, "As much fun as this has been, I've to go." She said as she then stood from the tool.
"Can I convince you to stay for a little longer?" Barret asked as he also stood up from his tool.
Malia makes a small chuckled, "No, it's been a long day." She calmly said still giving Barret a small smile, "I just want to go home and rest."
"Well before you make your way out of here, and I will probably never going to see you again." Barret said before he clears his throat, "I want to know if you are free tomorrow?" He blurting asked out with a flirtatious smirk on his face.
"I'm actually free for the whole month." Malia casually replied as she also crossed her arms over her chest, "Why do you ask?"
"Well... If you are willing to... It would be my pleasure to hangout more with you." Barret said as he was still looking at Malia with a smug smirk on his face, "If you want to of course."
"Well, in my free time sometimes I go to eat at a fast food restaurant or go to the gym or just stay home or here." Malia answered smirking at Barret, "So sometime you can see me at Cid's Gym or Chocobo's Taste, or here at Pig and Whistle."
Barre nsmile and nod, "Great then I hope I meet you again"
"Likewise." Malia said as she gave a polite smile at Barret.
Malia then turned around before she began to walk away while Barret watched her go as he smirked at her. Barret shook his head in amusement while watching the female Burmecian walk away, swearing that there was an extra sway in her hips. Malia's hips were slightly swaying side to side as she was walking before she disappeared when she exits the tavern leaving Barret alone. Once Malia disappeared, Barret returned to the counter to continue drinking his beer.
The End!
