Allenby Beardsley: Hi everyone!  Nice to be updating my fic for you guys again!  I'm sorry that it's been awhile; it's just I really started getting writer's block, and one time when I had a idea, I fell asleep before I could type it.  And being the forgetful person that I am, I forgot what it was.  Sorry.  Well, I'm sorry that this one is short (and probably sucks), but this is going to have to hold you guys, at least for the rest of this week, as I'm off to GTC (Georgia Theatre Conference) this weekend, although we're leaving for it on Thursday.  I shall be studying Stage Combat, as well as working on fic and hopefully seeing Matt-san to give me more advice on writing.  Enough ranting, onto the reviews!!

Sai Saici Angel, yes he is!!  Lol.  But as you can see, I kept my promise, no harm came to Sai Saici during that scene.

Sai Saici: Yeah right!

Domon: (off-stage voice) Get back here Sai Saici!!!

Sai Saici: Mep!  *starts running with Domon following him close behind*

Allenby Beardsley: Eh…  Anyway….

AnimegirlH, wow a new reviewer!  I'm glad you liked it!  Lol, eh…you'll see in this chappie…

Ken no Kakera, yay!  You read my fic again!  Lol, yeah he's a clown, what can I say?  I know!  I say we boycott!  No more homework!  Eh…although I think they won't go for that…  Anyway, when are you going to update your fic?  I wanna read the end for it!

Dreaming Wolf, woot!  Thanks Dreaming Wolf!  I think I read both and review them… I hope so.  I remembered the "My Immortal" one.  I will finish this, it's just going to take awhile.  I'll email you back again, I promise this week. 

Katsumi, hi!  Aw, thanks for liking it!  I always like to hear when people like my fics!  I already started chappie 10, so maybe, I'm hoping (knock on wood) that I'll have it done by next week.

Shuffle Queen, Lol.  Good.  That's what I was going for!  Yeah, I know that stress from parents and school.  That's why I'm so glad to read and write fic; sometimes it IS the only thing keeping me stable.  I also hope you update your hopefully-soon-C/A fic too.  I really like it so far.

XxX, another new reviewer!  Wow!  In fact, I think that's all I can say to that rather than thank you.  Man!  That's cool!  You even got the SA to say this was good.  Arigato!  Well, hopefully this doesn't stink TOO bad…

And of course, how could I ever forget you Chibodee… 

Chibodee: *smirks*  You couldn't!

Allenby Beardsley: *drip*  I see modesty was never a virtue you were born with…  *reads first part of review and blushes a deep red for a second before recomposing herself and banging her head against her writing desk*  What chaos have I just unleashed upon myself!??

Chibodee: *smirks*  You know you want me…

Allenby Beardsley: *sighs and continues reading*  CHIBODEE!

Chibodee: I said that I was going to stop! 

Allenby Beardsley: Ok… Well, thanks for the confidence Chib!  The play's running smoothly so far, and we're going to perform it next week!  And thanks for the nice compliment of the fic.  Lol, ok I promise not to suffer a nervous breakdown from my schoolwork.  As for the review thing, don't worry.  They didn't show up in my inbox except for one, so it was ok.  Besides, I told ya in the last A/N that I wasn't mad.  *takes the flowers and smiles*  Thanks, these are pretty, but FYI, I like video games better than flowers.  Lol.  Good luck on your Gundam fight!  Oh yeah, but I still want your email address though, because I wanted to talk to you about a idea I have for a new C/A fic. 

Oh yeah, I also would like to take this time to thank all the people who reviewed my other C/A fics: Goodbye To You and Sk8er Boi.  I'm really glad you guys enjoyed them.  Sorry for the long author's note!

When Chibodee Met Allenby

Chapter Nine

"WE HAVE TO *WHAT*??!" Allenby and Chibodee demanded at the same time, still quite in shock over the situation.  George could only smile apologetically at the two Gundam fighters.

"You two will have to-" he began once more.

"I *heard* what ya said Rose Boy!" Chibodee snapped.    

"He called me that again…" George mentally sighed.

"But…" Allenby began almost in a pout, "why us?"

For a second, George stood there, thinking of how to word his thoughts.  "Well…"  He paused to see them watching him intently.  "Chibodee, your girls are taking two rooms; Cecil and Hans have one room; Natasha is in a room with Rain; Argo, Sai Saici, and Domon are sharing a room."

"So, why can't I stay with Rain and Natasha or Chibodee's crew?" Allenby demanded in almost a whining tone.

"There isn't any room," he apologized.  "There's only one room left, and you two need a room."  A pause was made, and there was silence between the three.  In a VERY rare moment of sadism, George smirked (think when the Dark Gundam possessed him).  "Plus, from what I've been hearing…you two are already quite well *acquainted*…" 

Allenby and Chibodee's faces shot up in horror. 

"GEORGE!!" Allenby exclaimed in disbelief.

"Now, look here Rose Boy," Chibodee growled as he picked up George by the collar. 

"Monsieur Chibodee!" George frantically yelled, waving his hands to and for in front of his face.  "Please calm down!  It-It was how you Americans say… 'just a joke'!  I meant nothing by it!  I thought you and Mademoiselle Allenby would know that it was just a joke!" 

Chibodee put George back down on the ground gently, and Allenby sighed in relief.  "That's good…" they both murmured.   

George smiled apologetically at the two.  "Pardon moi," he replied.  "Your room is upstairs, down the first hallway to your left, third room on the right.  The others are in their rooms, I assume.  I must be off.  His majesty has requested my presence.  I shall see you two at dinner.  Adieu."  With that said, George bowed and left.

Allenby frowned slightly as she looked to the floor, her arms folded over her chest.  Chibodee quick his fake laughter and looked to her.  His eyes widen slightly, and he went to her.  "Allenby?" he asked.  "Are you okay?"

"I can't believe it…" she mumbled, still looking down.

"Believe what?" he asked, coming closer to her.  Slowly, she lifted up her head, looking him in the eye.

"That they…they saw it!…" she answered, her voice filled with shock and pain.

"Yeah…I know…"

A painful sigh left her lips, and she looked off to the side.  "I…I mean…"  She looked back to Chibodee, and he frowned when he saw the pure sadness in her eyes.  "You guys are really the only friends I have, rather than Hans… And now everyone knows that!  I, we didn't do anything Chibodee!  What are they going to think of me now?  I already know that Rain doesn't think too highly of me, and… What would Domon think?  What if he just thinks I'm some little slut?…" 

"I don't think that," Chibodee stated.  Allenby blinked in shock and looked back to him.

"Huh?"

"I said he won't think that," Chibodee corrected.  "We all know that you're a nice girl; he knows you wouldn't do that.  Don't worry about it!  The guys won't think anything of it!"

She faintly smiled at him.  "Thanks Chibodee."

He smirked.  "Any time."

She picked up her bags, still smiling at him, and began to walk up the stairs to their room.  Chibodee watched her walk off with a faint smile on his face.  Suddenly, he stopped smiling and almost frowned slightly in confusion as he thought over what he told her. 

"Why did I tell her I wouldn't think that?…" he thought.  He mentally shrugged and walked up the stairs as well. 

He watched her walk into their room, and he smirked at the thought.  *Their* room, ne?  Well, he was sure going to have fun with this… 

"What the hell?" he thought, snapping out of his lurid thoughts of the Neo-Swedish Gundam fighter.  "She's just a girl, only seventeen years old, I shouldn't be thinking of her like that!  Then again, with that nice ass and… No!  No, Chibodee!  That's bad!  What would Jessie do if she found you like this?  She'd beat you upside the head with a frying pan!"

He sighed as he mentally shook the thoughts from his head and was about to walk into his room after her when he was suddenly pulled back.  Chibodee spun around to punch out whoever-had-grabbed-him's lights, but stopped when he saw he was now in a bedroom where Domon, Sai Saici, and Argo were all standing before him, staring at him intently. 

"Hey guys, what's up?" Chibodee asked, breaking the silence. 

"…Hello Chibodee Crocket…" Argo spoke, his deep voice almost echoing throughout the room.       

Sai Saici and Domon continued to stare at him.  Chibodee sighed loudly, getting annoyed and slightly worried.  "Alright…what I do *this* time!?" he demanded tiredly.

"Well, Chibodee we don't really want to pry into your personal stuff, but did you…?" Sai began.  Chibodee motioned him to continue.  Sai Saici tossed him a rolled up piece of paper, and even though he couldn't read Chinese to save his life, he knew the picture by heart.

"Wait a minute, you think me and Allenby…?…"

"Well, did you?" Domon's voice snapped, as he looked to Chibodee coldly, his arms folded over his chest.

"No!  Of course not!" he yelled back at the Gundam of Gundams.

"Good," Domon commented.

"What's that supposed to mean Neo-Japan!?" Chibodee snapped, getting angry with him, thinking that his last statement was meant as a insult. 

"Chibodee, don't screw around with Allenby," Domon warned.  "She's just a kid, I don't want to see her get hurt.  Understand?"

Chibodee smirked slyly, "My aren't we defensive today?  I thought you loved Rain, Neo-Japan."  Domon glared at him murderously.

"Allenby is a little sister to me Chibodee," Domon answered coolly. 

"But she thinks of you as much more…" Chibodee thought sadly.

"She's had a hard life Chibodee…Don't hurt her."

"I'm not planning on it.  We're just friends Neo-Japan, so chill.  And even *if* I wanted something more, what are *you* going to do about it?  It's my business who I go out with," Chibodee responded gruffly, the conversation making him grouchy.  He began to walk off back to his room, slamming the guys' door on his way out.

"I think you overdid it Bro…" Sai replied.

"As do I," Argo agreed. 

Domon shrugged.  "Chibodee's a stubborn guy; the only way to get to him without beating him is to nag him." 

"I suppose…" Sai commented softly.

Allenby stepped into her room and shut the door and leaned against it, her eyes closed as she let out a deep sigh.  She slowly opened her eyes and looked over her room.  "But it's not *my* room, she thought, "It's mine *and* Chibodee's room…"  She wish she could explain the weird feeling in the pit of her stomach that she got when the thought hit her, but she couldn't.  Suddenly, she caught a very important detail about the room: There was only ONE bed…

Her mouth dropped in shock.  "Only *one*!?" she thought aloud.  "It could be worse I guess…" she thought.  She walked over to the bed and plopped her suitcase on top of it and began to neatly put her clothes into the dresser nearby.  She had just put her last jumpsuit into the drawer and shut it, when she heard the door open and close.  She turned around and slightly smiled at him.

"Hello Chibodee," she replied.

A faint smirk crossed his lips as he stood just in front of the door, looking at her.

"Yo Allenby," he responded.

~*~

Allenby Beardsley: Sorry that this one didn't have any action in it.  I have a couple of random scenes planned for this fic and a couple more ideas.

Chibodee: Hopefully involving both of us and a bed… *smirks*

Allenby Beardsley: CHIBODEE CROCKET!

Chibodee: Hey, it was a joke!  To quote Rose Boy!

Domon and Sai Saici: That didn't sound like a joke…

Argo: Indeed.

George: *sighs heavily*  How disgraceful Monsieur Chibodee….

Rain: Allenby, calm down!  You can't keep beating up Chibodee!

Chibodee: I agree with Rain!

Allenby Beardsley: *pauses for a moment, then thinks, and finally sighs*  Ok, ok… I promise not to hit Chibodee anymore.

Chibodee: Yay!  *glomps Allenby, smiling*

Allenby Beardsley: *stands there while Chibodee holds her and faintly smirks*  Don't make me regret it.

Chibodee: ^___^  I won't!
