"This is Japan? Where's the geisha girls?"
"This is only the airport, Granddad." Huey grumbled.
"Well why can't they have 'em waitin' here for you? Like the hula girls in Hawaii?"
"I'ma learn to stop a nigga's heart just by sneezin' on him! Then pull his nuts out through his nostrils!" Riley exclaimed. "Where they teach you that?"
"I'm sure there's a dojo around here somewhere."
"Well first we gotta get a taxi." Robert looked around. He spotted a cute little Japanese girl in pigtails walking by. He leaned down to talk to her. "Hi there, little cutie pie! Could you tell me where I could find a taxi cab? And maybe a geisha girl?"
"And a dojo!" Riley chimed in.
Chiyo was at the airport with her parents waiting for relatives returning from vacation. She was getting bored with the book she brought and went off to buy a can of juice. When the loud Americans started talking to her she got a little flustered and struggled to understand.
"Konnichiwa." Huey said. "Watashi no Jii-san wa 'takushiinoriba wa doko desu ka?' to iimashita.(My Grandfather asked where he can find a taxi.)"
"Ah!" she suddenly remembered and answered in English: "Taxis are down that hall and out the door to your right."
"Domo Arigatou.(Thank you.)" Huey said. "Sumimasen, Watashi no kazoku wa baka desu.(Sorry, my family are idiots.)"
"Huh? Wha'chu talkin' 'bout, Mr. Roboto?" Riley exclaimed.
Chiyo giggled. "Douzoyoroshiku. Anata no nihongo wa jouzu desu.(You're welcome. Your Japanese is good.)"
"What'd she say? Was that about me? I know that was about me!"
"She said if you don't shut up she'll pull your nuts out through your nostrils." Riley fell silent and Huey turned back to Chiyo. "Arigatou. Choudo Manabu Hajimetai.(Thanks. I just started learning.)" He bowed. "Watashi no namae wa Huey Freeman desu, douzo yoroshiku.(My name is Huey Freeman, nice to meet you.)"
Chiyo bowed. "Mihama Chiyo desu. Hajumemashite.(I'm Chiyo Mihama, nice to meet you.)"
"Okay, okay, boy! You made a friend. Now we got to get to the hotel." Robert leaned down to Chiyo again. "Thank you! For! Your help!"
"She's not deaf, Granddad."
"You're welcome." Chiyo said.
The Freemans walked away.
"I wa'n't scared of her." Riley grumbled. "Little pigtails Japanese midget!"
Huey looked back. Chiyo smiled and waved and a rare half smile came to his face.
Just the kind of thing I think about when I'm bored. I might continue it if I can decide how they'll meet up again and what they'll do. Feel free to correct my crappy Japanese.
