It had been quite a journey so far, but Claudio didn't quite want to go home yet. The day was still young, and full of potential. That being said, he'd be lying if he didn't say that "strenuous exercise" at the gym hadn't worn him out a little. Deciding now would be an opportune moment to take a break, Claudio decided to find a worthy eating establishment that would suit his needs.

"Hmmm... Chanko Paradise? No, I can't be seen associating with such a run down old dump. Then again, it IS the official restaurant of the King of Iron Fist Tournament... perhaps if I'm seen eating there they'll put me on a commercial!"

Deciding that a little more publicity is never a bad thing for such a stunningly beautiful individual such as himself, Claudio set his sights on Chanko Paradise.

When he finally arrived, Claudio picked a nice table right in the center of the restaurant where everyone could gaze upon his flawlessness. He picked up a menu and started to read the different options of chankonabe they offered. But as he was scrolling down the page, he looked over at another table and witnessed quite a beautiful sight sitting at a secluded table near the back. She was definitely the second most beautiful thing in the restaurant.

"Hmmm... quite a looker." Claudio muttered to himself. "Such beauty cannot be ignored..."

There was nothing Claudio hated more than seeing a beautiful woman unacknowledged, so he immediately shot to his feet and made his way over to her table. As he got closer, he really got a good look at the woman: she had hair as blonde as the golden sun in a ponytail, her face glistening with ruby red lipstick. The black dress she wore was low cut enough to exhibit her lovely figure, and short enough to show off her nice legs as well.

"What's an angel like you doing down here among mortals?" Claudio asked, getting the woman's attention immediately. When she looked into his hypnotic eyes, her own eyes widened temporarily. But she quickly composed herself as not to show any emotions.

"I could ask you the same thing." she replied, her voice calm and cool.

"I'm Claudio Serafino." he said, sitting down in front of her. "And you...?"

"Nina. Nina Williams." she replied, trying to keep her eyes locked on her menu. But Claudio's handsome face exuded a magnetic force that kept pulling her eyes upward.

"S-s-ooo..." Nina stammered, mentally slapping herself for losing control of her speech. "What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to talk to you." Claudio replied, a grin on his face. "I simply couldn't ignore someone who emanates such a radiant aura of attraction and allure."

"You say that to every girl you see, don't you?" Nina retorted, rolling her eyes.

"How dare you compare me to a run of the mill get drunk after work douchebag of a man!" Claudio said, his voice raised. If there was anything he hated, it was being compared. There was not a soul in the universe that was anything like Claudio Serafino.

"So what makes you different?" Nina asked.

"I'm different because I RESPECT beauty." Claudio replied. "I am a connoisseur of the flawless. You see... one does not truly understand perfection unless he himself has walked in those shoes. And in case you haven't noticed... I MADE the shoes."

Nina finally set down her menu; this man was definitely intriguing her. Honestly, she was embarrassed. No man in the world could sway her with their pick up lines, but THIS guy... this guy was different. There was something about him that set him apart from any other man she had ever met.

"I... I appreciate the compliments." Nina said, a hint of meekness in her voice.

"It's no problem. When I see a woman as stunning and unparalleled as you, I consider it my duty to address her as such. Now, I only ask one thing in return... could we perhaps rendezvous at a time and location of your preference?"

"You're... asking me out?" Nina asked, her face turning a shade of red.

"Of course! So what will it be?" Claudio asked, trying to hide the eagerness in his voice.

Nina tried to show a bit of hesitation so as not to look like a desperate teenager, but her hand couldn't be controlled as she whipped out her pen and a pad of paper and scribbled her phone number.

"I get off work at 9. Meet me at the park." Nina said, slipping him the piece of paper. She immediately rose to her feet and quickly exited the restaraunt; she HAD to get some air.

"Wait! We could eat together! I'll pay!" Claudio yelled.

"Thanks, b-but I'm s-suddenly not hungry!" Nina called back.

As soon as the door swung shut and Nina was at a safe distance, she put a hand to her chest and let out a huge exhale.

"WHEW! Damn, that guy was fine. My insides were boiling!"

Nina tugged at her clothing a few times to let the cool air flow down her dress. After a few seconds of regaining her breath, she composed herself and got her mind straight.

"Whew... I gotta get ready for work."

LATER THAT NIGHT

After a long boring day at the Mishima Zaibatsu headquarters, Nina was back at her apartment taking a nice hot shower. After making sure EVERY part of her was fresh smelling, she stepped out and immediately went to the mirror to start doing her hair.

"Hmmm... maybe I'll wear it down."

Nina brushed her hair diligently for at least half an hour; after all she had to look her best for that gorgeous hunk she was meeting. There was something about this guy that sent fire coursing through her insides, and she LIKED IT.

Nina finished doing her hair, then finally slipped on a black miniskirt and purple collar shirt. As she began to apply makeup, she was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"YOOHOOOO! NINAAAAA!" a familiar female voice yelled. A voice that Nina REALLY hated hearing.

"Ugh, GO AWAY YOU BITCH!" Nina screamed.

"BUT I COME TO VISIT MY FAVORITE SISTER!"

Nina rolled her eyes and stomped to the door. She jerked it open and came face to face with her hated enemy and sister, Anna Williams.

"What do you want?!" Nina asked, not bothering to hide the annoyance in her tone.

"Oooh, you're getting all spruced up." Anna said, chuckling devilishly. "Hot date?"

"Don't you have someone handcuffed in your bedroom waiting for you to spank them or something?"

"Not tonight..." Anna said with a wink. "Actually, I just came to see if my loving sis would like to watch that new horror movie that just came out. You know, with the blind guy?"

"Not tonight! I... I have to go somewhere." Nina said, looking away and preparing for the inevitable prying.

"You have a DATE?! DO TELL DO TELL!" Anna pestered.

"Did I say I have a date?!" Nina grunted.

"No, but I can tell by your tone that you do..."

"Ughhh fine! Yes I have a date."

"So what's he like? Cmon PLEEEASE tell me!"

"Why do you care so much?"

"Because your love life is almost nonexistent! You're too hard to please."

"Fine. This man is... well he's..."

"Yes?"

"He's..."

"YEEES?"

"THE MAN IS AN ANGEL ON EARTH!"

This caused Anna's eyes to widen. "Really?! So he's fine?"

"Yes! The man is HOT! Hotter than freakin Ogre's fire breath! Like, he's hotter than those freakin underwear models."

"Is he hotter than Lee?"

"Girl... Lee doesn't even come close. I'm telling you. THIS. MAN. IS. FINE."

"I see..." Anna muttered, putting her hand to her chin. With a serious expression, she approached the door.

"Well, I guess I don't wanna hold you up any longer. But first... there's something I need your help with."

"What?" Nina asked, a hint of concern in her voice surprisingly.

"Could... you take a look at something? I think I was bit by something last night and there's a nasty rash on the back of my hand."

Anna held her hand up and Nina leaned in close, examining it.

"That's strange, I don't see anyth-"

With a SMACK! as loud as a crack of thunder, Anna's hand collided with Nina's face hard enough to knock her off her feet. Completely unprepared for the strike, Nina was knocked unconscious immediately as she fell facefirst onto the soft carpet. With a snicker, Anna dragged Nina to the couch and threw her onto it.

"Sorry, sis... but I can't let you outdo me, ESPECIALLY when it comes to getting a man."

As Anna properly positioned Nina's arms and legs so they weren't hanging, Nina's cell phone began to rang.

"Oooh, is that..?"

After a few rings, a message began to play.

"Hey Nina. It's Claudio. I just wanted to let you know I'm at the park early. I simply cannot wait to bask in your beautiful presence bathed by the moonlight! Welp, see you soon!"

"The park, huh? Excellent..." Anna muttered to herself, an evil grin spreading. She began to cackle wildly as she stormed out of the apartment and made her way to the destination of Nina and Claudio's date. She was about to see with her own eyes just what a catch Nina had gotten this evening. If he was as hot as she claimed... stealing him from her would be all the more satisfying.

THE PARK, 9:30 PM

Claudio tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for Nina, his eyes shifting to his phone every couple of seconds to check the time. He had never even CONSIDERED the possibility that a woman could be foolish enough to stand him up. In fact, he didn't even think it was possible in this reality or the next that a woman was even capable of performing such a feat to him. But now, slowly but surely... he was starting to believe.

"Should I call... no, Claudio Serafino does not call a woman twice!" Claudio grumbled. "If she doesn't come, then that is HER misfortune, not mine."

Suddenly, a woman did appear in the distance. Claudio squinted to get a better look at her... but she didn't look like Nina. This woman had brown hair and a red dress that made her breasts quite a sight to see. Her red lipstick and makeup only served to make her face more beautiful than it already was. If this was a mistake... it was a welcome one.

"Oooh... whoa mama, you ARE hot!" Anna yelled when she finally got close enough to really get a good look at Claudio. Claudio was confused at first, but he couldn't help but smile at the compliment he received so frequently.

"Um... I don't believe we've met. I'm Claudio." Claudio said, giving a slight bow.

"Anna. Anna Williams." Anna replied, her eyes trailing up and down his body as she smiled seductively.

"Williams? You wouldn't happen to be related to Nina Williams? Or perhaps... you're her alter ego in a brown wig?" Claudio pondered.

"Eww... baby, don't you ever compare me to my sister again. Nina has a LONG stick up her ass. She's no fun. Me, on the other hand..."

Anna licked her lips as she sat in Claudio's lap and threw her arms around him. Claudio shrugged and laid back, living by his principle that if a woman couldn't resist him, he wouldn't deny her.

"...I know how to show a man a good time."

Anna growled seductively as she leaned in close and nibbled Claudio's ear, sending a shiver through his spine. He was starting to get goosebumps. But as much as he was enjoying THIS sister's presence, he couldn't help but wonder where the other one was. You know, the one he was SUPPOSED to be trying to woo with his irresistible manly wiles.

"Umm... this is nice and all, but where exactly is Nina?" Claudio asked, trying to stifle a moan at the feeling of Anna nipping at his ear.

"Don't you worry your pretty little face about it." Anna whispered, putting a finger on his lips. "In a few seconds, I'm gonna make you forget she even exists."

Claudio smiled and closed his eyes as Anna's lips got closer and closer to his. But just as they were about to touch...

"YOU DIRTY WHORE!" a voice echoed in the distance.

"Oh shit" Anna muttered as she got off of Claudio and turned to face the source of the voice. It was Nina, who was wearing a dark purple bruise and a very angry expression.

"Ninaaaa! There's my favorite sis. Glad you could make it!"

"Don't give me that innocent bullshit!" Nina hissed. "I know you're jealous of my man and tried to sabotage my date!"

"Well I can't exactly deny it, now can I? Since I'm here, and... you're there, hee hee hee..." Anna snickered.

"Oh that's it, you have crossed the f***ing line this time, cunt hole! I'm gonna kill you right here!"

"Don't be jealous I know how to treat a man, VIRGIN!"

Nina and Anna put their hands on their hips and got so close their chests were squished together. Claudio smiled and got comfortable. He only wished he had some popcorn for the awesome cat fight that was soon to commence. He could already see it now: hair pulling, clothes ripping, shoes flying... it definitely wouldn't be the first time two chicks have fought over him.

"Ladies, ladies, you don't have to fight. Forgive me for this cliche line, but there is plenty of me to go aroun- OH MY GOD!"

Claudio'e eyes widened when the two women suddenly whipped out automatics and began spraying the park with bullets! They both ran for cover as they fired erratically at each other, bullets whizzing through the air and coming dangerously close to hitting Claudio.

"SWEET JESUS! I've never had two women fight over me like THIS before!" Claudio yelled. He hit the dirt and stayed there as Nina and Anna zeroed in on each other with their fingers held down on the trigger. When the bullets finally ran out, they switched to grenades. When the grenades were spent, they both pulled out RPGs and began firing explosive projectiles that impacted with a deafening BOOM!

"My God... I've got to get out of here. I have a feeling there's some deeper root to this conflict than just trying to win my affection!"

Claudio decided to commit the ultimate sin and flee from the two incredibly hot women that were no doubt lusting over him right now. Staying low to the ground, he crawled out of the park under the cover of the smoke being produced by the frequent explosions. When he was finally at a safe distance, he immediately sprang to his feet and sprinted as far away as he could until the park was a distant memory. The two warring sisters were so caught up in their conflict that they didn't even notice.

Claudio dusted himself off and fixed his hair as he walked down the street, looking behind him to make sure the crazy sisters didn't pursue him. Deciding he had had enough for one day, Claudio started to make his way back home. Aside from that craziness that just ensued, this day had been pretty eventful. He gave a thief her confidence back, he was molested by a horny wrestler, he met two beautiful sisters... all in all, it wasn't a bad day. After a good night's sleep to recharge his charm and charisma, hopefully the next day would be just as good. Minus intense gunfights, of course.
