For those of you who don't have a Spanish dictionary with you, I just
thought you might want to know that Chico means lad and Tio is guy. It's my
warped play on words. You'll get it when you start reading this chapter.
Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Anonymous
Chapter XI: A Really Boring Bail with a Dash of Whatnot
Chico gapped at the man before him. "What-what are you doing here, desconcido?" Chico managed to ask.
The old man chuckled. "I'm starting to get tired of getting you out of tight spots, Chico," he said in good humor.
"I-I don't even know your name, and you're going to bail me out of jail?" Chico asked in disbelief.
"Yes," the man said simply. "I'm sick of watching you and your sister get separated so much so I'm going to help you find her."
"Gracias, senor." Chico meant it.
"Wonderful," the old man said. He pressed a red button and a guard entered the room. "I would like to bail this man out," he said.
"But-But senor, he has committed a terrible offense to his own country!" the guard protested.
"Does it seem like I care? Now, how much is the fine?" the old man pushed.
"3,000 pesos," the guard replied.
"Oh, you jail keepers make me sick! Here," the old man reached into his pocket and pulled out a checkbook. He scribbled something eligible on a check and handed it to the guard. "Now unhand him."
The guard grudgingly took out a key and unlocked Chico's handcuffs.
"Let's go," the old man said and walked out of the room, followed by Chico.
"What's your name, senor?" Chico asked the old man.
"Just call me Tio," the old man replied.
The former Gundam fighter chuckled. "Nice play on words, Tio," he said. Chico's mood became serious again. "How do you know my sister is alive?" he asked.
"Simple. I saw her on los television. With that cocky Neo-American. The one who fought four years ago," Tio explained.
"The one who tried to help arrest me," Chico said quietly.
"Si. But be glad, Chico. He seems to take a liking to your Gina," Tio uttered.
Chico grunted in response. "It better be no more than that. But do you know how Gina could still be alive?"
Tio shrugged. "Maybe she was wrongly diagnosed. Or maybe she was cured. All I-"
"There is no cure," Chico interjected.
The old man looked up at Chico. "You think the doctors lied, don't you? Doctors do not lie in vida-y-muerte situations," Tio assured the younger Neo-Mexican.
"I have my doubts," Chico said plainly as the two walked away from the jail, never looking back.

"Chibodee! Stop being so stubborn and get over to that gym now!" Shirley called, impatient.
"You need to practice if you're going to beat George in your upcoming match!" Bunny said in frustration.
Chibodee shrugged nonchalantly, not making a single move. "So? George's hair gets in his way of seeing anything around him. He's like half-blind because of those long bangs that defy gravity. I can beat him easy."
"Stop bein' so d*** cocky!" Janet scolded.
"Overconfidence can make you loose," Cath reminded him.
"Gee, thanks for that, Socrates," Chibodee said sarcastically. "Don't worry 'bout me. Just make sure the Maxter is ready."
"D***, Chibodee! You wanna loose your head so soon?" Shirley shouted. Then Gina walked in to the main connecting room of the suite. All four crew- members' faces lit up at the sight of the Neo-Mexican.
"Gina!" they all said in joy together. Chibodee brightened, too.
Bunny motioned for her to come over to where the other crew-members were standing. "Can you get Chibodee off of his lazy duff?" Bunny asked in exasperation.
Gina shrugged. "Sure," she said and walked over to Chibodee. He looked at her eagerly. Gina sat down on his lap, ready to charm. She put on a seductive smile and ran a finger up and down his bare chest. Then Gina leaned forward as Chibodee put his arms around her. She kissed him soundly on the lips. "Now be a good boy and go practice," she said softly in his ear and got up.
"Whatever you say," Chibodee said. God, I love it when she does that, he thought blissfully, remembering the feel of Gina's lips on his own, and walked off towards the hotel gym.
"How do you do it?" Janet asked, shaking her head.
"I dunno. Guess it comes with admitting true love," Gina said with a shrug and started for the garage to help the girls fix up Gundam Maxter.
*******************************************
Chico stared at the mini TV in his large hands. Another Gundam fight. That infernal Chibodee Crockett against the aristocratic George de Sand. Maybe they'll show Gina again, Chico thought hopefully.
"Gundam fight ready." Chibodee started.
"GO!" George finished.
"Cyclone Punch!" Chibodee shouted and launched his attack. Gundam Rose stepped nimbly aside.
"Brute force never wins, mon ami," George said philosophically.
"I'm sure roses do the job," Chibodee muttered grumpily.
"Precisely," George replied with a small smile. "Rose Screamers!" Four rose bits shot out from under Gundam Rose's shield and aimed themselves at Chibodee. Gundam Maxter pulled out a gun as the rose bits charged at Chibodee. The Neo-American shot all four down with his gun. George blinked in surprise. "Are you allowed to do that?" he asked, loosing his dignity for a moment.
Chibodee shrugged. "I am now." Right as Chibodee was about to pull the trigger on his gun, there was an erupting sound from the ground below.
On the sidelines, Gina collapsed on the floor. 'Hello,' she heard that all- too-familiar voice say. "It's-here," she managed to mumble before she lost all consciousness.
"Huh?" Chibodee asked no one in particular as he realized that the ground was splitting in between him and George. (He hadn't noticed that Gina had fainted, considering that he was stuck in the middle of a Gundam fight.)
Across the Atlantic Ocean in Neo-Mexico, Chico stared in horror as a Gundam emerged from the ground. It was gigantic.
"What the hell?" Chibodee questioned. "George, is it just me or."
".Does that look exactly like the Dark Gundam?" George finished for the stunned Neo-American.
The full Devil Gundam II emerged from the cracked ground. Chibodee peered intently at it. He could barely make out a silver figure in the middle. 'Follow me', a voice uncannily similar to Gina's said in his brain. "Huh?" Chibodee asked again.
"Chibodee, I think we better get ready to attack," George cautioned.
'Just tell.' the voice said inside Chibodee's mind.
Tell what? he asked.
'Follow me', the voice repeated.
Wha'? Chibodee was still confused.
'Gina.explain', said the voice.
Why are you here?
There was an exasperated sigh. 'It could just be me, but there seems to be an excess amount of stupidity in the air today.
Hey! Are you calling me stupid?
'Yeah.Gina explain.follow me.
I still don't get it.
'Oi vey.Never mind.tell.Gina.' Then the voice was gone.
"Chibodee? Are you all right?" Chibodee heard George ask him.
"Yeah. Why?" Chibodee was certainly doing a lot of asking that day.
"Well, there's a resurrected Dark Gundam in front of us and you seemed to go into a reverie for a moment," George explained.
"I-I'm fine," Chibodee assured his friend.
"Good. Now what do we do?" There was a hint of panic in George's voice.
"Let it go," Chibodee said.
"WHAT?!?!" George practically shouted.
"It's going to leave. Let it go," Chibodee repeated.
"But-but-" For the second time in his life, George was speechless.
"We'll get it eventually. Now let it go," Chibodee said again.
"And while we're fighting the remainder of this tournament, we're supposed to let that thing wreck havoc wherever it goes?" George found his tongue.
"It won't hurt anyone," Chibodee replied confidently as the Dark Gundam flew into the sky.
"How-How do you know?"
"I just do," Chibodee said curtly.
As the shrieks died down, the announcer spoke. "Ladies and gentlemen, this match has been canceled due to an.unexpected.interruption."
Chico turned the TV off with a sigh.
He, he. Abrupt ending = good. I like abrupt endings. They sorta make you want to find out what happens next. Sorta. Okay, maybe that just happens with me. Me knows I'm bad at writing battles. Personally, I prefer humor and I'm actually starting to get the hang of this romance thing. (Thanks, DarkDragon -_^ ) But I have to have the 14th Gundam fight first because otherwise the fighters really aren't allowed to use their Gundams. Anyway, I have to include who won the tournament, don't I? Oh, by the way, in case you were wondering, I do have a happy ending. Happy ending essential. Very.
