How to Get a Date

I don't own Hellsing. It belongs to Kouta Hirano.

It was training practice, and the Wild Geese were practicing on their aim, trying to get fatal shots on the cardboard cut-outs from farther and farther away.

Pip was next to Seras, who was loading an incendiary round into the Harkonnen.

"Seras?" He asked, reloading his magnum.

"Yes?" She asked, smiling warmly.

"Well, I was wondering if I could take you out to dinner later?"

"Oh, Pip, I, uh…" She trailed off, aiming the Harkonnen towards a target that Pip couldn't make out in the darkness.

"I can understand if you don't want to! It's just zat it's a nice night, non?" He fired at a cut-out of a man in a Nazi uniform.

"Um… If Master hasn't got anything after this… But aren't all of the restaurants closed at this time?"

"Zat's ridiculous! Not all of zem are closed at zis time!" Pip said, more to himself.

"Just the ones that need reservations." Seras said wistfully.

Pip filed that little tidbit of information away for now. He could clearly hear the longing in her voice.

"Zen 'ow about a movie?"

"Um…"

Before Seras could finish, Alucard appeared, silent as a shadow among the men, startling quite a few.

"Police girl. We have training to do. As for you, Captain." Alucard turned towards Pip, a look of disdain upon his face. "It would be a good idea to not mix work and pleasure." It sounded like a threat coming from the vampire's lips.

"Oui, monsieur Alucard." Pip replied.

And with that, Alucard stalked away, the ever-faithful Seras following right behind him.

Whatever training that Alucard was doing with Seras, he hoped it wouldn't take much longer. He was hoping to get Seras to a midnight screening of some chick-flick he would bet money on that she would like. The hands of the clock kept getting closer and closer to twelve… Pip bit his lip in anticipation, just hoping that Alucard would let her out for the night.

Pip began pacing, eyes darting around, searching for her.

Finally she came, tired and worn out, and… bleeding?

She must have gotten a good whooping today.

"Seras. I take it zat you're not in ze mood to go to a movie?"

"No." She growled, swinging her door open.

"'Ow about tomorrow?"

Seras slammed the door behind her.

Frustrated, Pip took the camera out of its hiding place and looked into the lens.

"Check your loved one's mood before you ask."

And with that, he turned off the camera.
