"I still can't believe that you and Cloud made that stupid bet…" Tifa grumbled, "N-Not that I'm complaining or anything! It's just that… Y'know… I never thought that you'd invite me out to dinner like this."

"To be fair, he has to spend an week in an uncomfortable dress, so he's also suffering. I personally blame how Pinkie insisted the bet be worded. 'The one who is incorrect must fulfil their end of the bet.'" Yang replied, "Since my guess of Thanos vs. Darkseid wasn't right, and his guess at Galactus vs. Unicron also wasn't right, we both had to own up."

"They had Nightwing and Daredevil fight for number ninety-nine, Sunshine. I don't know why you expected another Marvel vs. DC matchup so soon for battle 100."

"To be fair, I made the bet around the time Strange's fight with Fate was announced, and it turned out I called the season finale, so…" Yang trailed off.

"Okay I guess. Let's try to enjoy this date."

"I swear, this dress was basically made to be impossible to sneak around in." Cloud mumbled, "Cloud to Amy. Cloud to Amy. You have visual on the lovebirds?"

"Amy to Cloud, I have visual. How about you, John?- What are your visuals?"

"Master Chief here, thanks for calling me by John, by the way. Haven't heard that name in forever, and I have visual on the restaurant. Nobody coming in so far, so we have no interference."

"Guys, we're supposed to use codenames. I didn't go through the trouble of coming up with them just so that you could ignore them."

"Well Dante, maybe if you didn't come up with ones that were so blatantly annoying, we would be using it." Cloud snarked.

"I actually kinda liked mine." Master Chief said.

"Well good for you, 'double-one-seven,' but some of us aren't exactly ecstatic about theirs."

"Calvary's here, and I just cleared the block nearby of Cyber-Kartans. How are the lovebirds?"

"They're ordering drinks right now. And I thought we agreed that your codename was 'Time Hopper.'"

"Pettition to change my codename then?"

"I think you mean 'permission.'" Dante said, "Also, yes. Your new codename is now 'Calvary.'"

"Awesome!" Calvary replied as she blinked back into position, "How about you, Devilman?"

"I'm doing fine. How about you, Pink Hammer?"

"Pink Hammer here. Just saw Yellow Ninjustsu take down a Cyber-Kartan near the back of the restaurant."

"I'm not using mine. Can I change it?"

"No." Devilman replied, "You complained about it, so you don't get to change it. Now call in."

"I don't wanna."

"Do it, or I blow this entire operation and expose all of us. And I'm pretty sure that my healing factor will make it so that I'll survive that 'Impact Fastball' attack they have. Not sure about the rest of you though. Rezzing would probably hurt like a bitch."

"I'm fine with being rezzed." Cloud muttered.

"I'd rather not." Yellow Ninjutsu said over the comms, "Also, the current chef fell ill after I brutalized the cyber-kartan that was about to kill him Permission to change codename to 'Yellow Chef'?"

"Permission granted."

"I still hate my codename."

"Duly noted, Thunderhead." Pink Hammer replied, "Anyways, we gotta make sure this date goes as well as possible. Then you guys will help me out on a date with Sonic, right?"

"I always kinda preferred Sally over you."

"EXCUSE ME?" Pink Hammer shouted, "I'll HAVE YOU KNOW THAT HUSSY HASN'T BEEN IN ANYTHING SINCE THE PINBALL GAME!"

"Y'know, Green Arrow sometimes complains about working with Dinah because it hurts his ears…" Thunderhead muttered, "I'm starting to feel his pain."

"And you didn't already when the lovebirds kept shouting that they weren't attracted to each other when they clearly were?"

"I don't think they ever denied any attraction to each other. They were just awkward in coming to terms with it, Tracer."

"Who is this 'Tracer'?- She sounds attractive. I wonder if she has a girlfriend like mine." Calvary replied.

"Are we really doing this?"

"Yep. Now suck it up Thunderhead. We've got incoming."

"Hello, my name is Carter. I'll be your waiter for today. Can I get you anything to drink?- We have a nice selection of wines if you want some of that."

"I plan on driving later today. I think I'll stick with an Arnold Palmer." Tifa said.

"Strawberry lemonade for me. I also have to drive." Yang added.

"Excellent. Any appetizers?"

"Actually, I'm ready to order. How about you, Sunshine?"

"I think I'm up for the steak- medium rare, with steamed vegetables. That comes with an option of either mashed potatoes or a baked potato, right?"

The waiter nodded.

"Great. I'll take the mashed potatoes, then."

"And I'll have the Sausage Pasta. And if I could have some extra tomato slices, I would appreciate it."

Carter took the menus and looked at the other table that was occupied, "If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask. Do you want some water?"

"Actually, that would be great." Yang said, "I'd take some."

"Same here."

"Excellent." Their waiter nodded, "I'll be back soon. Enjoy your meal here."

The two looked on and saw that he went to drop their order off at the chef's window before going to another table.

"He seemed nice."

"Yeah…"

"Yang? Is there something wrong?"

The blonde sighed, "It's just… What happens if I end up with someone back in my world? What happens to us? What happens to this?"

"We move forward." Tifa replied, "Yang, in the years that I've known you, you've managed to pull off what Cloud, Barret, Aerith, or even Denzel or Marline couldn't: You got me to open up. I know that you aren't using me, and you shouldn't feel that way either. Besides… that way I get to pull the 'if you do anything to hurt her' trope if your new girlfriend shows up."

"How do you know it'll be a girl?" Yang smirked.

"C'mon, Yang. You're about as straight as Starscream is trustworthy. It's kinda obvious…"

Yang chuckled, "Alright I guess. Can't wait to see you try to pull that trope on my girlfriend then."

Tifa looked around and noticed that there were many people in line by the door.

"Huh, sure got crowded fast."

Yellow Chef was busy trying to fill orders as well as he could.

"I need more spices! No! Not salt! Salt isn't a spice! I already have plenty of it anyways!"

The other assistant chefs and cooks were running haphazardly through the kitchen. Whilst having the Hanzo Hasashi in the restaurant cooking was always a plus, given how often people rave about his food, it also came with a curse.

Most notably, a curse of having a lot of people lining up in the hopes that he would end up cooking their food.

Legend had it that Hanzo could make a simple cheese sandwich taste like the finest aged cheddar had sex with the most exotic spices, had a baby, and that baby grew up and made a child with Jesus Christ.

The ninja had simply stated that all he had done was sprinkle some Oregano and Sage on the cheese before using Whole Wheat bread, and that the people talking about his food should stop exaggerating.

The people then simply reigned in the description to excluding the part about the ingredients having a child.

"We have five orders for Salmon with Greens, seven for medium-rare steaks, three well-done steaks, two orders of meatloaf, and…" The chef looked at the list and realized that there was another side to it, "Oh dear…"

"Someone ordered the deer?- Yeesh, they must have a lot of money to spare." The dishwasher said.

"I'm pretty sure they meant the 'dear' with the letter 'a.'" The dessert chef said.

"Actually, there is an order for deer." The man holding the piece of paper said.

"Good grief, that's just one sheet. Imagine how many more there are considering we have at least fifteen people in line waiting for a table."

"At least most of them are groups…" A waiter said as he came in with some more papers, "How the hell Carder got all the calm people, I'll never understand. Hell! He's already got a few people on dates too. They always tip well."

"Well, suck it up." Carder said as he walked in to get some orders, "It's part of the job. Where's that steak and pasta?- A couple of lovebirds ordered them a while ago."

Yellow Chef rolled his eyes. He had an inkling as to whom Carder was talking about.

"Freaking hell! Hanzo." Thunderhead muttered, "First you clear out a Cyber-kartan, then you end up subbing in for the chef, then we're stuck here, to fight off Lex and Ultron's new mechsuit?"

"I'm personally more concerned about what the bloody thing's made of." Calvary said as she shot at the legs before tossing a pulse bomb at it, "I've been blasting and bombing it, and there's not a blasted scratch on it!"

"Y'know, considering the situation we're dealing with right here, I think it's best that we drop the codenames." Dante grumbled as he also blasted away at the mechsuit.

X: So, I wrote the part where the restaurant was getting crowded, and then I forgot about the word count.

Wade: Not counting the notes here, you have over fifteen hundred words! Better get started on part two.

X: I was hoping that this would be only one part. Yare Yare… This might be three.

Pinkie: Did you just say-

X: I would say that I've been watching too much JoJo, but then I realized there's no such thing as "too much JoJo."
