Chun-li and Vega walked on the bustling streets of Hong Kong. They walked at a slow pace on the busy sidewalks. They arrived at the restaurant just in time for the morning specials. The waiter dressed in all black but his white pressed shirt. Vega exchanged a few words with him then nodded at Chun-li. Chun-li followed the two men to the back of the restaurant and threw a door. They were outside in the back of the restaurant heading to a table. He seated them and left. Chun-li looked to her right to see mountains in the distance with a body of water slapping at the base. For several moments Vega just star at her taking in all of her beauty. Then he turned to see what she was looking at. "Beautiful, no?" he asked. Chun-li blink several times and came out of her trance. "Y-Yeah…it is" she said turning to him. Before anymore words could be exchange the waiter came and asked for their order. They ordered and once again the waiter disappeared in the restaurant. Chun-li starting fumbling at the red napkin in front of her. Vega raised an eyebrow. "Is something wrong", he asked. Chun-li looked up at him and gave him a nervous smile. "Wrong? Nothing's wrong. Why wound something be wrong"? she asked. "I don't know…you just seem…nervous", he said.

Chun-li stopped fumbling the napkin and raised a challenging eyebrow. "Nervous", she echoed, "I'm not nervous. I'm just…still a little confused". "Confused of what may I ask", he said pressing the subject further. She opened her mouth but was interrupted y an "Here you are". They looked up to see the waiter with their food. He set it down in front of them and left. Chun-li looked down at her food and licked her lips. She had an American breakfast…A country omelet…eggs...toast…and some orange juice. She looked over at Vega's plate and wrinkled her noise. He had…had…well she didn't know what he had but personally…she didn't care. "Remind me never to let you order me, she said. Vega chuckled at her statement. "How can you not like something you never tasted", he asked taking a sip of his coffee. He offered some but she shook he head. "Coffee is bad for you", she said. Vega looked at her then at her plate. "So is butter", he said watching her spread a lot on her toast. She looked back at him and blushed a little. She then stuck out her tongue like a little schoolgirl which made him chuckle.

Half way through their meal, Chun-li put down her fork and blurted out "We need to talk". Vega was about to take another bite of his food until he heard her. He looked at her and put his fork down. "Of course. I have everything planned out. We can leave tonight on flight 241. It goes straight there…a non-stop flight. I talked to a couple of old…friends and they will be accompanying us", he said taking another sip of his coffee.

"Can you trust these 'friends'?"

"Yes…most I have know since childhood. We go there and get my sister and then leave immediately". Chun-li cocked her head to the side. "What will you do then? I mean where will you and your sister go or live?" she said. Vega sat back in his seat and looked very thoughtful for a moment. "I…I guess we could go back to Spain", he said. The waiter came and gave the bill to Vega. Chun-li craned her neck to make out the price without him noticing. Vega looked at the bill's total and smiled…he then looked at Chun-li who was still straining to see the total. She raised her eyes to Vega and realized that she had just been caught. She sat back in her chair blushing a bright shade of red. Vega paid the bill and the waiter left. "Shall we go", he said rising out of his seat. Chun-li stood up as well and walked pass him mumbling a 'sure'. Vega chuckled and followed.
