AN: At the bottom after my last AN I have a shout out to anyone who reviewed.
The Man with the Blue and Pink Hair, Chapter 9
Huh? Where am I? I look around and see nothing but red, a deep dark, crimson red. I can feel myself tense up; the feeling of this place is creepy, and familiar, but how? I turn around and see two dark figures; their silhouettes are in the shape of a man and a woman. I instantly run towards them, tears flowing from my eyes and my right hand reaching out for them. "Don't go! Mama, Papa, please don't go out tonight! Something bad is going to happen, I *know* it will! Please don't go!" I shout as my short legs run as fast as they can, I can hear the clanks of the copper hooks against the buttons on my overalls, and my hand can almost touch them, hold them . . . I can see two pairs of sparkling white teeth smile at me, then, just as I am in grabbing range they vanish . . . forever . . .
"NOOOOOO!!!!" I scream while collapsing to the floor. My arms and knees are barely holding me up as I see tears hit that cold hard crimson floor. "Why?" I ask myself over and over again "Why?"
I feel a sudden jolt on my arm and see a man with no compassion at all. "Get up one forty-seven! We still have trials to test . . ."
Rage fills my heart as I give the dirtiest look I could muster up. I hear a loud booming sound in the backdrop and I instantly run again. Farther and farther away from the awful man, these baggy white scraps I'm now wearing help my legs move more freely and I think they grew longer . . . Once again tears are running down my face, somehow I know the boom sound was bad, and I can't stop running, I can't stop crying.
I feel a sharp pain in my left foot and I finally hit the ground. My legs can't move anymore so I just lay on my right side, with my arms holding me up, head bowed low and cry some more.
"Shh. . . ." I can hear a young male voice say. An arm goes around my left shoulder and I try to look at the boy. Instead he just takes his hand that was on my shoulder and makes my head rest on his chest before rubbing my back. "Shh. . . ." Is all I hear him say again, and I close my eyes to the relaxing sound of his 'Shh's. It seems like I'm going to stay right here forever, content in my position. He gently he helps me up, and I'm once again back onto my own two feet, all pain from them gone.
"I told you before I'd pick you up whenever you fell." He smiles at me fondly "I mean even though you're a though kid, we all need help every now and then . . ." He hesitates for a moment and looks downward. "Me too . . . thank you." Then he ran away.
I run opposite of the boy, but I keep my eye on him for as long as I can. My legs seem to grow again; my pace becomes faster, and more painful. I look ahead of me, as I wince from the pain, and looked back again. Who was I looking at back there again? I look ahead once more; I'm never going to look back from this point on. I avoid many shadows, turning, dodging, and sneaking past some, finally I can see someone! Someone who's not a dark gloomy shadow!
"Domon!" I shout in happiness! My legs instantly forget the pain of the last few moments and I sprint over to him. I can almost reach him! I can almost hug him! I spread my arms out wide, and . . . go right though him and fall flat onto the floor.
"Allenby I can't be whole without the person I truly love. What should I do?"
"Tell her you love her." I reply with my arms holding me up and a pain in my heart.
"I will. Thanks" He said with a smile and then he was gone.
I have no right to cry this time, but I can't help but to feel the need for it. I look around this red stage and see nothing but shadows. Cold . . . dark . . . shadows.
A bright light is quickly flashed and I can see a shadow walk towards me. Strange how familiar he looks . . . The small figure grows and comes around me. He sits behind me, and even though I don't know who it is, my chest tightens. I take a peek at his face as my tears stop falling from a funny smile I receive. He places his left arm around me, and rubs my back. I fall into his chest and lay there, peacefully with my heart pounding loudly but calmly.
"Shh . . ." I hear him say. "You'll be okay now . . . I promise you . . . I'll be with you, to pick you up." And with that he wraps his arms around me and -
I feel a sudden jolt, as the view in front of my eyes, suddenly turns dark before bright white light flickers in and out. I accept the terms with the light and slowly welcome it back to my eyes.
Huh? I slowly look around. 'Where am I again?' I think, with a yawn coming from me. Gray seats? Road passing? Oh yeah! I'm on the bus for the ski trip. Man, that took me a while. Erg I guess that we must've hit a bump in the road that would be the cause of why I woke up. Wait one minute I fell asleep? Erg, I guess I did without even noticing it, and I was trying so hard to prove Chibodee wrong! I turn my head to the right to look to see if he's still sleeping or rather I turn my head until I felt a weight on top of it.
I glance with only my eyes moving from my position. Okay so my legs are curled up where I'm suppose to be seated . . . My seat belt is still on me so I've must have just fallen to the side . . . . . But the window isn't next to me so I must've fallen on my . . right side . . . And if that's true then I'm sleeping on . . . I glance to where my head moved from, it wasn't far, but the material was red. Like Chibodee's jacket. Oh well! I'll just slowly move back to my side and . . . uh-oh . . . my arms are tightly woven around him, even if I try to set them free, his back is too close to the chair for it to be a success. I take a deep silent sigh in defeat. Since I'm here, and I'm going to get caught anyways, I might as well enjoy it. I lay my head back down on his chest and I close my eyes once more.
I quietly yawn one last time, as I expect sleep to find me again. I feel my back being rubbed up and down. Am I dreaming again? No, I just woke up. Reluctantly I open my eyes to be exposed to the light yet again. The light didn't blind my eyes this time though, and I look towards my left to see what was grazing my back. A hand was, but not just any hand, Chibodee's. I burrow my head back into his coat, and closed my eyes as a slightly warm feeling is spreading though my cheeks.
Erg I hate this! First he says one small compliment and what do I do? Blush! Now he's, I guess, subconsciously rubbing my back, and what's my reaction? Blush and hide! Erg, what's happening to me? Where's the tough Allenby? I used to be less obvious to my feelings than this, what's happening?!
I look upwards to see his closed eyes. I mean look at him . . . he's not * that * great, not someone to be ga-ga over. Then again who says I ga-ga over him?! It's not like he's cute, I mean he has that ridiculous pink streak, with blue hair! Haha, although it does kinda suit him - a funny streak for a funny man. But then again it's not like other guys aren't funny! Yeah! There's plenty! But I'm sure Chibodee is the only one who can mess around with you so much to make himself and the other person laugh and yet makes the other person forgive him for whatever stupid prank he pulled. Heh, those big bright green eyes of his I'm sure not many people besides me, his crew and maybe even Rain (when he liked her) has actually see them beg in a puppy dog way. Hehe it's so cute you can't help but to forgive him . . . Wait how did I get of the subject?
Chibodee's face moves downward, and I can see his eyes open, and half of the smile that spreads across his face. I smile as well, and we just look at each other for a few seconds. His arm stops rubbing my back and just kinda falls in front of me, like he's almost holding me.
"Good morning sleepy head." He says to me. What does he mean 'sleepy head' he was the last one sleeping! Still with that sweet look on his face, I can feel my clashing thoughts leave my head.
"Good morning." I say, almost sheepishly. Ack! Allenby you need to talk normally! There's nothing really to be shy about, and since when did you become shy!?
"Were you having a nightmare Bee? I woke up when you fell on me. You seemed upset, you were crying . . . I tried to wake you but . . ." He looks away from me, half ashamed. I could tell he was worried, he didn't have to say anything, his eyes blew his cover, if he was trying to cover it.
"No! It's okay, but thanks for trying. It was one of those dreams where I had to work things out myself. But I'm sorry that I fell on you. And I'm also sorry if I had you worried . . ."
"No, no, it's okay. Every time I heard you crying I rubbed your back. I know it sounds dumb, but it seemed to clam you down."
"Oh?!" That sound came out. Hmm . . . wasn't something like that happing in my dream? I try thinking back to the dream I *just* had. I should be able to remember it. But the dream seems to go away just like water going though your hand - the more you try to hold onto it, the more you seem to lose, until a little residue is left over. For me that residue of water is red, something about red, and shadows. "Erg, I can't remember my dream." I cry in my head, and I guess I said out loud because Chibodee's face changed to an expression of shock from my sudden outburst before turning into a sympathetic expression.
"Um . . . Sorry about that." I say my face red from embarrassment. How can I realize that I said that out loud, it's not that what I said was a big secret or anything of that sort, but still, it's embarrassing!
"So you can't remember anything about your dream?" Chibodee asks, his hand behind his neck and a nervous laugh coming out with the words. Well I guess he's kinda embarrassed too, one of those embarrassed for the other person type of thing perhaps.
"Um . . ." I look down "Not really, just red, dark red, and shadows."
"Hmm . . ." He says in a serious tone. It's not like my dream was life treating, yet he seems to be concentrated on it. "Do you remember crying?"
"Um . . ." I think back, or try to think back on it. Was I? Chibodee said I was but . . . "Nope, nothing else." I say with a goofy simile, telling him what I said before is as good as it'll get.
He returns my smile with a small grin of his own "Okay, maybe it's best if you don't remember."
"Yeah . . ." I say in a sad monotone fashion. "Um . . . Chibodee . . . I wasn't crying really loudly was I?" I had to ask, it'd be soooooo embarrassing if the whole bus heard me.
"Heh. You're worried about the bus hearing you? Ha ha ha. But don't fret over it Bee, you were quiet, only I noticed."
Phew, thank goodness. I give a sigh in relief, as I lean back into his chest, and closed my eyes.
'Umm . . . you know Chibodee is awake this time, and you know he's awake so there's no excuse of 'He's asleep, he won't know.' So shouldn't you be going to your seat now?' My inner voice tells me, it had a good point, but this is so nice! I don't really want to leave. I squeeze my arms that were already around him to be even tighter; a rebellion act against that inner voice.
But sadly it's right, I open my eyes again, unfortunately it seems that I won't be sleeping again until tonight, and I was just warming up to the idea of bus naps. I lift my head, and get my left arm back to my side. I look at Chibodee, and he moves his back forward and my right arm is free, and cold. I sit back in my seat, but I'm much closer to Chibodee than the window. Oh! His arm!
"Hey Chibodee your arm is still-" - "Oh! Sorry about that Bee." He interrupts as he removes his arm back to his side.
"So . . . What was the next item on your list after sleep? Eat?"
"Yup, but we're pulling over to some place. You did bring money right Bee?"
"Of course! I just hope it's enough . . . I've been saving since we found out about the trip, but it didn't add up to much, especially with an apartment payment." I heave a sigh, before I feel a strong pat on my back.
"Don't sweat it Bee, if you don't have enough I'll pay for the rest. Consider it a gentleman's code of honor."
I smile gratefully, "I didn't know you were a gentleman Chibodee." I tease.
He returns my smile then turns his face up in the air. "Yeah, I'm usually only a gentleman to women who I don't know, or to those who I like. So I don't know why I'm being a gentleman towards you." He says with I wink to know he's kidding.
"Hey you jerk! You shouldn't say . . . huh?" Chibodee looks like he deep in thought again, man it's kinda creepy.
His face lights up as in and 'Ah'! And he pulls something down from over us. "Chibs?" I ask trying to look over his shoulder.
"Here!" He shows his compact game system I had him buy in October.
I feel like a character in an animé falling over from the "seriousness" of the object. No need to be in deep thought over it Chibodee.
"That's it?! And here I thought it'd be something of more importance." I give him a hard time, as I should, a serious face doesn't suit him, almost had me worried.
"What can be more important to me right now than kicking your butt at *Super Raceway 2226*!" He says with the enthusiasm and face of a ten-year- old boy who just got a new toy. "You did bring your *game-to-go* didn't you?" He asks as if it would decide his happiness.
"Erk, umm of course!" I reach into my pocket that's right by my heart. "Here!"
"Good, cause I'm going to beat your butt!" He links up the two, as a competitive mode sweeps over in both of us.
"Heh . . . In your dreams cowboy."
"New Yorkers aren't cowboys!" We start the game; best out of eleven so therefore there can't be any ties. "Besides didn't you know you're always in my dreams Bee."
Huh?!?! What?!? I look up at him for a second; shock in my eyes. Is this another flattering comment? Like before? Or is it just a comeback? "Huh?" Suddenly I hear I dwindling sound. And I look back down on my game- to-go system the word 'LOSER' blinking is bold red letters with a picture of my racer next to it crying.
Suddenly I'm no longer confused about that comment. "ERG! Chibodee Crocket! I'm not going to lose this time!" I look at him, making the most threatening look I can muster up. And only see him with a huge grin on his face and his tongue sticking out in a playful manner. Erg, he is a ten- year-old boy!
I look back down on my screen, shake my head, suppress a giggle, and press the 'A' button to begin. If there ever was a thought in my mind about this ride being boring, they all instantly fled. But I should concentrate on the game right now.
"Everybody, we'll be stopping at a place to eat. It's not going to be anything fancy, fast food I'm afraid but it'll be food. You'll have a half an hour to eat so we can get on the road and be at the cabin by three in the afternoon."
I press the pause button and look at Chibodee. "How long has it been?"
He looks back at me as confused as I am, before looking at his watch. "Whoa, Bee, it's been two hours!"
"Two hours already?! I didn't think eleven races would take that long and we're not even finished!"
"Well nine races I guess would be good." He turns his system off. "You win." He reluctantly says while looking the other way for a moment. "So . . . How are you going to use your I. O. U.?"
"Heh, heh. Don't think your getting off that easily, I'm going to gloat over this for all it's worth!" I say with one of Chibs' cocky grins on.
He heaves a sigh "I had a feeling you would." He says. Of course I will! He does it to me when he wins!
I smile and look up to him, trying my best to look and act as cocky as he does when he wins. But instead he smiles, at me, a warm and gentle smile. His eyes are gleaming are looking straight into mine with such fondness in them. I feel my chest tighten and my cheeks become hotter. I quickly look past him toward the window behind him.
"Oh! Wow, lookie! I guess that's where we'll be eating." I say full of energy, pretending like I actually care. So much for gloating huh?
"Yeah, I guess so." He responds in his normal voice. "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know, we can decide when we see everything." I respond as if it was 'simple as that'. Wait on minute '*we* can decide'? Goodness! I meant 'I'll decide.' 'I'll decide!' No 'we'! I heave I sigh, oh well perhaps I overreact after all there's nothing wrong with friends eating together.
'Then why were you so paranoid about it? Making it bigger than it was?' An inner voice asks.
'Shut-up.' I reply. When does the conscience get involved in love matters? OH! Umm . . . I mean friendship status.
We pull over into a court of fast food places. "But on the bright side, you'll have your choice on where you want to eat. Well then here we go" Raymond continues as he parks the bus to the side. "Have a good lunch, remember only a half an hour!"
I unbuckle my seat belt and get up. Ah it's sooo nice to stretch! As soon as I finish stretching, just about when everyone else was off, Chibodee grabs my hand, and leads me off the bus.
"Go ahead and pick." He says with a bounce to his voice if that's possible.
"Umm . . ." I look around. "That place!" I point to a place called 'Joe's Burgers' "It'll be like cheeseburgers and such right? I haven't had one since I was seven!"
"Really seven? Alright if that's what you want, then let's go."
We walk towards Joe's as I look at the different directions everyone else is going to. But it looks like we're the only one heading this way. Hmm . . . Hmm! I look down and see that my hand is still with Chibodee's hand. Now to say something or not to? Well I don't want to be mean, so why not!
'Excuse' I voice in my head sneezes. But I don't care, right now I'm happy, and no voice is going to make me start that long series of questions.
He opens the wooden door to find an outrageous inside of wood and grill. It's interesting that goes without question; it's themed like a ranch or something. But it's fast food, you can tell by the set up. It has a counter, although that's also made of wood, a cashier, and some grills and other cooking supplies in the back, but within visible eye. The place is kinda creepy though; we're the only ones in here . . .
"WELCOME to Joe's!" A voice suddenly greets us. The word 'welcome' said in English.
"Err . . . Thanks, um hi. I would like a double cheeseburger with large fries and a large soda." Chibodee gave his order to the man.
"And you little missy?" Man what a creepy guy. Is he trying to be an old- fashioned American cowboy? He's dressed like one! Hat, boots, vest, everything! Even the fake accent!
"I'm not a 'little missy' I'm seventeen years old, not ten! And I'll have a cheeseburger, medium fries, and a medium soda, umm please."
"Whoa there ma'am sorry 'bout that. I'll give you your fries for free as an apology." The poor Chinese man says with his hands making waving motions of going back and forth in front of his chest.
"Thank you." Chibodee accepts the apology for me. Erg I can't believe that though, 'little missy' I don't look like a kid!
"Bee?" Huh? I look at Chibodee, caught a little off guard. "Why don't you pick a place for us to eat, I'll bring the food okay?"
"What about me paying my share?"
"I have it covered." He winks. "Besides you don't eat that much, so it's not expensive." I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult, so I'll leave it be. Our hands let go of one another as I looked for a place to sit and eat.
Hay, hay is the seat for most of these wooden tables, there has to be one that doesn't have hay as a seat! I continue to look around. Nope, none.
"Find some place?" Chibodee asks as he sneaks up behind me.
"Nope, sorry Chibs, and I don't want to sit on itchy hay for lunch."
He laughs playfully "I figured you wouldn't Bee, so I asked for a to-go bag." He lifts it up for me to see.
"It's creepy how you can read me so easily sometimes."
"Heh, actually Bee, you can be rather difficult to read." He says with a shrug. "Come on let's eat outside, while we can still enjoy the warmer climate."
I stand there for a moment watching his figure gesturing me to go outside. I'm difficult to read? Then how come he does it so well? "Come on Bee." I hear, and I catch up to him and receive a friendly smile as my reward, as I return it. Then a cheeseburger is shoved into my mouth. He laughs as I run after him pretending to be mad. This is going to be a skiing trip to remember, it already started off as so.
~*~ End of Chapter 9 ~*~
AN: Whew, thank goodness that chapter is done, I had a huge writer's block for the middle of it, in fact this chapter was going to be longer but that block couldn't/wouldn't move. So if this chapter isn't that good, well at least you know why. The next chapter maybe next two might be a slower update but after that it'll speed up SUPER fast. And if there are any ten- year-olds who read this and feel mad, I'm sorry, I used that reference, I think, three times. It's nothing personal, just an estimation.
Happy Holidays to everyone (it's early just incase I don't get another update to say that ^.^ ) and thank you for reading this chapter.
Oh! If anyone would comment on to keep the dream part I'd be very appreciative of you! It fits but it doesn't so if anyone wants to review it'd be nice if you would give a hint to keep it or not. THANK YOU! =0)
~*~ Response to the Readers ~*~
~~~ Last chapter I got thirteen reviews! WOW! You people are the coolest! THANK YOU! =0D Ever review made my day! ~~~
To: starangel100890
Hi! Thank you for saying the last chapter was excellent; oh that's soooo nice of you! And it would've been rude for me to leave you out; if you can take the time to review I can take the time to respond. Or at least that's what I believe. ^-^ I promise to read one of your stories during holiday break. It's a few hour flight, then another two hour wait, then another few hours for flying back home, so I'm print a story of yours out and read it on the plane! =0D So expect a review within December to January!
As for Chibodee being frustrating, lol, he can be, but thinking of his chapter from Chibodee's POV actually helped me. (If you care) I originally thought of most of the chapter, except for the dream, in Chibodee's POV, then thought of how Allenby would take his actions. It seems like a lot but it helps a whole bunch!
Thank you for reviewing my last chapter, I hope to hear from you again. And your welcome for reviewing your poems, they were so great! You have a great talent in poetry, probably in story telling too, I'll find out over holiday break promise! Thanks again!

To: Turtle Lover
Hi Turtle Lover! Wow, thank you for starting to read my story! I can understand how busy one can be. (ALL my teachers piled essays and projects on us the same week, all due the following -_-) So I'm also glad you started reading my fic. I Domon and Rain are one of my favorite couples too, well so are Chibodee and Allenby, and others from G-gundam pairs they're so many, but keep reading things will get more interesting for other couples. ^.^ I hope I'll hear/read another review from you on this chapter, sorry if it wasn't that good.

To: SaiSaiciAngel
You were sick the whole trip?! Oh, well that's kind of a bummer, but at least you were able to finish reading (like you said) and Nintendo is always fun! (well unless you keep losing, then it can be frustrating ^.^ ' ) But you got homework for the summer! Wow, that's must not be fun at all, unless you like summer homework. My new school gives summer reading homework, but not math. Hmm, ah well if you had an okay time, I guess that's good! At least you seem to realy love the house that's always nice! =0)
Lol, you're the only one you caught that Stalker is the Taxi driver, lol. Or the only one to say anything at least. If you don't mind, I'm going to read that story you mentioned, but I'm going to read it during holiday vacation break. I'll probably also read the prequel, and the 14 tournament, too! I'm going to be in an airplane and airports for a while so I decided to print out stories so I can read them, lol, thanks for the idea! I'm sure they're going to be great stories I'm looking forward to reading it!
=0) Yes I like the nickname "Bee" it's cute. I was thinking of nicknames, "Allen" was one "Ally" was another and "Bee" was the last. I decided to have it be name for some cheesy reason that I was thinking on having Chibodee say later, but I'm most likely not going to have him say it. Since he's not going to say it I'll tell you, or at least the logic, it was because bees make honey (sweet) but can sting (spunk) something that Allenby has both of! Cheesy huh? But hopefully that makes since. =0\
"Allen" is a cute nickname too! Although your story is a little confusing @.@ I think I understand it. (No offence, I'm a little slow at times ^.^ ')
As for Marie Louise's hobby, it makes since in the long run. I needed somebody to be a photographer, and when I limited it down she was the best one to fit that role! She still is, I think. Lol, and I'm glad that you're happy that Chibodee said Allenby was cute. I was fun writing. =0) And as for the picture next chapter has the answer to that. ^-^ (Can't say) Kenan and Kel! I love that show Kel was the best with the orange soda! And Kenan is now on Saturday Night Live! (My how they grow up.) Lol, oh, back on subject, well Raymond does fit the role doesn't he? Lol. Well I'm very happy that you liked the last chapter, I hope you like this one as well. Thank you for reviewing SaiSaiciAngel!

To: Dreaming Wolf
Hi Dreaming Wolf thanks for reviewing this time. I did take a look at your Allenby fics. They seem good! Max an OC I take it, but I'm really looking foreward to Allenby's Past. But I promised myself I wouldn't read it until after I finished my other story (it's about a point in time of Allenby's past) so I wouldn't stray off my original idea. (No offence, I'll *happily* read afterwards). But I'll read a story of yours during holiday vacation. Promise, I'm sure they're *very* good! Thank you for reviewing, I hope to earn another review.

Wow you sn was changed again! It used to be Tsunami Strom and that was changed from bluefrosting! Lol, this one is much more creative and personal though, very cute. My story is intresting and loved? Oh THANK YOU soo much! Didn't get enough sleep at a sleepover, lol, yeah sounds like me. I'm glad you're not going to drop any stories, but a lot of them are on hold. If you don't mind I was planning on reading 'All I Have' over holiday break okay? Expect a review between December to January!

Lol, I'm glad I was missed? Thanks for wondering where I went; it's nice to know that from time to time. =0) And Neko is back! Lol, Yay! I hope Neko is here for this chapter too! Lol, you and Neko are such a funny pair! I always get a laugh, thanks. I'm glad you liked the last chapter; I sincerely hope this chapter wasn't too disappointing. Oh! And thank you for pointing out about Bunny, I added her in with Shirley in the revised chapter. I'll try to update faster on the next chapter, but no grantees! ^.^ ' Thank you for reviewing again, hopefully I'll earn another review. Bye!

To: Neko
Hi Neko, even though you reviewed with Black Joker Lady I decided to add a response to you too! As for the sisterly bond that developed between Allenby and Rain, I think it comes when sisters become older, I know that's what happened with a lot of people I know. Little sisters are "annoying" until they grow up! I wouldn't know I'm the little sister in my family. Lol, and I hope you didn't get hurt when you were kicked out the window. Have fun orbiting the stratosphere with Black Joker Lady!

Hi Ken no Kakera! Thank you *soooo* much for that nice review! It really made my day! I hope this chapter didn't disappoint you; I had a hard time with it, so I'd understand if it did! I hope to earn another review from you!

PS: When are you going to update your C/A story? ::hint, hint::
Hi Sissi!
I hope you don't mind if this is a short reply. Yes it seems like last chapter was the climax of the story, although, I have MANY events coming up, not some much in the next chapter but the ones following. Lol, thanks for the comment on how Allenby greeted Chibodee, I had that in mind for the chapter from the get-go it just seemed so cute that I had to put it in. =0) And if you caught the last main comment from Chibodee at the end of this chapter, that'd be your response for Chibodee receiving Allenby's confusing messages. As for you future predictions, I'm not going to say much on them, just read it'll come out within the next two chapters, not as much as the next but the one following (I'm looking foreword to writing that chapter =0) ) Well, hope you like this chapter and to earn another review from you.

To: Allenby Beardsley
Hi Allenby! Here's another update, finally my writers block left, although it's not exactly the best chapter the worlds or the history of the story at least it's up right?

AN: At the bottom after my last AN I have a shout out to anyone who reviewed.
The Man with the Blue and Pink Hair, Chapter 9
Huh? Where am I? I look around and see nothing but red, a deep dark, crimson red. I can feel myself tense up; the feeling of this place is creepy, and familiar, but how? I turn around and see two dark figures; their silhouettes are in the shape of a man and a woman. I instantly run towards them, tears flowing from my eyes and my right hand reaching out for them. "Don't go! Mama, Papa, please don't go out tonight! Something bad is going to happen, I *know* it will! Please don't go!" I shout as my short legs run as fast as they can, I can hear the clanks of the copper hooks against the buttons on my overalls, and my hand can almost touch them, hold them . . . I can see two pairs of sparkling white teeth smile at me, then, just as I am in grabbing range they vanish . . . forever . . .
"NOOOOOO!!!!" I scream while collapsing to the floor. My arms and knees are barely holding me up as I see tears hit that cold hard crimson floor. "Why?" I ask myself over and over again "Why?"
I feel a sudden jolt on my arm and see a man with no compassion at all. "Get up one forty-seven! We still have trials to test . . ."
Rage fills my heart as I give the dirtiest look I could muster up. I hear a loud booming sound in the backdrop and I instantly run again. Farther and farther away from the awful man, these baggy white scraps I'm now wearing help my legs move more freely and I think they grew longer . . . Once again tears are running down my face, somehow I know the boom sound was bad, and I can't stop running, I can't stop crying.
I feel a sharp pain in my left foot and I finally hit the ground. My legs can't move anymore so I just lay on my right side, with my arms holding me up, head bowed low and cry some more.
"Shh. . . ." I can hear a young male voice say. An arm goes around my left shoulder and I try to look at the boy. Instead he just takes his hand that was on my shoulder and makes my head rest on his chest before rubbing my back. "Shh. . . ." Is all I hear him say again, and I close my eyes to the relaxing sound of his 'Shh's. It seems like I'm going to stay right here forever, content in my position. He gently he helps me up, and I'm once again back onto my own two feet, all pain from them gone.
"I told you before I'd pick you up whenever you fell." He smiles at me fondly "I mean even though you're a though kid, we all need help every now and then . . ." He hesitates for a moment and looks downward. "Me too . . . thank you." Then he ran away.
I run opposite of the boy, but I keep my eye on him for as long as I can. My legs seem to grow again; my pace becomes faster, and more painful. I look ahead of me, as I wince from the pain, and looked back again. Who was I looking at back there again? I look ahead once more; I'm never going to look back from this point on. I avoid many shadows, turning, dodging, and sneaking past some, finally I can see someone! Someone who's not a dark gloomy shadow!
"Domon!" I shout in happiness! My legs instantly forget the pain of the last few moments and I sprint over to him. I can almost reach him! I can almost hug him! I spread my arms out wide, and . . . go right though him and fall flat onto the floor.
"Allenby I can't be whole without the person I truly love. What should I do?"
"Tell her you love her." I reply with my arms holding me up and a pain in my heart.
"I will. Thanks" He said with a smile and then he was gone.
I have no right to cry this time, but I can't help but to feel the need for it. I look around this red stage and see nothing but shadows. Cold . . . dark . . . shadows.
A bright light is quickly flashed and I can see a shadow walk towards me. Strange how familiar he looks . . . The small figure grows and comes around me. He sits behind me, and even though I don't know who it is, my chest tightens. I take a peek at his face as my tears stop falling from a funny smile I receive. He places his left arm around me, and rubs my back. I fall into his chest and lay there, peacefully with my heart pounding loudly but calmly.
"Shh . . ." I hear him say. "You'll be okay now . . . I promise you . . . I'll be with you, to pick you up." And with that he wraps his arms around me and -
I feel a sudden jolt, as the view in front of my eyes, suddenly turns dark before bright white light flickers in and out. I accept the terms with the light and slowly welcome it back to my eyes.
Huh? I slowly look around. 'Where am I again?' I think, with a yawn coming from me. Gray seats? Road passing? Oh yeah! I'm on the bus for the ski trip. Man, that took me a while. Erg I guess that we must've hit a bump in the road that would be the cause of why I woke up. Wait one minute I fell asleep? Erg, I guess I did without even noticing it, and I was trying so hard to prove Chibodee wrong! I turn my head to the right to look to see if he's still sleeping or rather I turn my head until I felt a weight on top of it.
I glance with only my eyes moving from my position. Okay so my legs are curled up where I'm suppose to be seated . . . My seat belt is still on me so I've must have just fallen to the side . . . . . But the window isn't next to me so I must've fallen on my . . right side . . . And if that's true then I'm sleeping on . . . I glance to where my head moved from, it wasn't far, but the material was red. Like Chibodee's jacket. Oh well! I'll just slowly move back to my side and . . . uh-oh . . . my arms are tightly woven around him, even if I try to set them free, his back is too close to the chair for it to be a success. I take a deep silent sigh in defeat. Since I'm here, and I'm going to get caught anyways, I might as well enjoy it. I lay my head back down on his chest and I close my eyes once more.
I quietly yawn one last time, as I expect sleep to find me again. I feel my back being rubbed up and down. Am I dreaming again? No, I just woke up. Reluctantly I open my eyes to be exposed to the light yet again. The light didn't blind my eyes this time though, and I look towards my left to see what was grazing my back. A hand was, but not just any hand, Chibodee's. I burrow my head back into his coat, and closed my eyes as a slightly warm feeling is spreading though my cheeks.
Erg I hate this! First he says one small compliment and what do I do? Blush! Now he's, I guess, subconsciously rubbing my back, and what's my reaction? Blush and hide! Erg, what's happening to me? Where's the tough Allenby? I used to be less obvious to my feelings than this, what's happening?!
I look upwards to see his closed eyes. I mean look at him . . . he's not * that * great, not someone to be ga-ga over. Then again who says I ga-ga over him?! It's not like he's cute, I mean he has that ridiculous pink streak, with blue hair! Haha, although it does kinda suit him - a funny streak for a funny man. But then again it's not like other guys aren't funny! Yeah! There's plenty! But I'm sure Chibodee is the only one who can mess around with you so much to make himself and the other person laugh and yet makes the other person forgive him for whatever stupid prank he pulled. Heh, those big bright green eyes of his I'm sure not many people besides me, his crew and maybe even Rain (when he liked her) has actually see them beg in a puppy dog way. Hehe it's so cute you can't help but to forgive him . . . Wait how did I get of the subject?
Chibodee's face moves downward, and I can see his eyes open, and half of the smile that spreads across his face. I smile as well, and we just look at each other for a few seconds. His arm stops rubbing my back and just kinda falls in front of me, like he's almost holding me.
"Good morning sleepy head." He says to me. What does he mean 'sleepy head' he was the last one sleeping! Still with that sweet look on his face, I can feel my clashing thoughts leave my head.
"Good morning." I say, almost sheepishly. Ack! Allenby you need to talk normally! There's nothing really to be shy about, and since when did you become shy!?
"Were you having a nightmare Bee? I woke up when you fell on me. You seemed upset, you were crying . . . I tried to wake you but . . ." He looks away from me, half ashamed. I could tell he was worried, he didn't have to say anything, his eyes blew his cover, if he was trying to cover it.
"No! It's okay, but thanks for trying. It was one of those dreams where I had to work things out myself. But I'm sorry that I fell on you. And I'm also sorry if I had you worried . . ."
"No, no, it's okay. Every time I heard you crying I rubbed your back. I know it sounds dumb, but it seemed to clam you down."
"Oh?!" That sound came out. Hmm . . . wasn't something like that happing in my dream? I try thinking back to the dream I *just* had. I should be able to remember it. But the dream seems to go away just like water going though your hand - the more you try to hold onto it, the more you seem to lose, until a little residue is left over. For me that residue of water is red, something about red, and shadows. "Erg, I can't remember my dream." I cry in my head, and I guess I said out loud because Chibodee's face changed to an expression of shock from my sudden outburst before turning into a sympathetic expression.
"Um . . . Sorry about that." I say my face red from embarrassment. How can I realize that I said that out loud, it's not that what I said was a big secret or anything of that sort, but still, it's embarrassing!
"So you can't remember anything about your dream?" Chibodee asks, his hand behind his neck and a nervous laugh coming out with the words. Well I guess he's kinda embarrassed too, one of those embarrassed for the other person type of thing perhaps.
"Um . . ." I look down "Not really, just red, dark red, and shadows."
"Hmm . . ." He says in a serious tone. It's not like my dream was life treating, yet he seems to be concentrated on it. "Do you remember crying?"
"Um . . ." I think back, or try to think back on it. Was I? Chibodee said I was but . . . "Nope, nothing else." I say with a goofy simile, telling him what I said before is as good as it'll get.
He returns my smile with a small grin of his own "Okay, maybe it's best if you don't remember."
"Yeah . . ." I say in a sad monotone fashion. "Um . . . Chibodee . . . I wasn't crying really loudly was I?" I had to ask, it'd be soooooo embarrassing if the whole bus heard me.
"Heh. You're worried about the bus hearing you? Ha ha ha. But don't fret over it Bee, you were quiet, only I noticed."
Phew, thank goodness. I give a sigh in relief, as I lean back into his chest, and closed my eyes.
'Umm . . . you know Chibodee is awake this time, and you know he's awake so there's no excuse of 'He's asleep, he won't know.' So shouldn't you be going to your seat now?' My inner voice tells me, it had a good point, but this is so nice! I don't really want to leave. I squeeze my arms that were already around him to be even tighter; a rebellion act against that inner voice.
But sadly it's right, I open my eyes again, unfortunately it seems that I won't be sleeping again until tonight, and I was just warming up to the idea of bus naps. I lift my head, and get my left arm back to my side. I look at Chibodee, and he moves his back forward and my right arm is free, and cold. I sit back in my seat, but I'm much closer to Chibodee than the window. Oh! His arm!
"Hey Chibodee your arm is still-" - "Oh! Sorry about that Bee." He interrupts as he removes his arm back to his side.
"So . . . What was the next item on your list after sleep? Eat?"
"Yup, but we're pulling over to some place. You did bring money right Bee?"
"Of course! I just hope it's enough . . . I've been saving since we found out about the trip, but it didn't add up to much, especially with an apartment payment." I heave a sigh, before I feel a strong pat on my back.
"Don't sweat it Bee, if you don't have enough I'll pay for the rest. Consider it a gentleman's code of honor."
I smile gratefully, "I didn't know you were a gentleman Chibodee." I tease.
He returns my smile then turns his face up in the air. "Yeah, I'm usually only a gentleman to women who I don't know, or to those who I like. So I don't know why I'm being a gentleman towards you." He says with I wink to know he's kidding.
"Hey you jerk! You shouldn't say . . . huh?" Chibodee looks like he deep in thought again, man it's kinda creepy.
His face lights up as in and 'Ah'! And he pulls something down from over us. "Chibs?" I ask trying to look over his shoulder.
"Here!" He shows his compact game system I had him buy in October.
I feel like a character in an animé falling over from the "seriousness" of the object. No need to be in deep thought over it Chibodee.
"That's it?! And here I thought it'd be something of more importance." I give him a hard time, as I should, a serious face doesn't suit him, almost had me worried.
"What can be more important to me right now than kicking your butt at *Super Raceway 2226*!" He says with the enthusiasm and face of a ten-year- old boy who just got a new toy. "You did bring your *game-to-go* didn't you?" He asks as if it would decide his happiness.
"Erk, umm of course!" I reach into my pocket that's right by my heart. "Here!"
"Good, cause I'm going to beat your butt!" He links up the two, as a competitive mode sweeps over in both of us.
"Heh . . . In your dreams cowboy."
"New Yorkers aren't cowboys!" We start the game; best out of eleven so therefore there can't be any ties. "Besides didn't you know you're always in my dreams Bee."
Huh?!?! What?!? I look up at him for a second; shock in my eyes. Is this another flattering comment? Like before? Or is it just a comeback? "Huh?" Suddenly I hear I dwindling sound. And I look back down on my game- to-go system the word 'LOSER' blinking is bold red letters with a picture of my racer next to it crying.
Suddenly I'm no longer confused about that comment. "ERG! Chibodee Crocket! I'm not going to lose this time!" I look at him, making the most threatening look I can muster up. And only see him with a huge grin on his face and his tongue sticking out in a playful manner. Erg, he is a ten- year-old boy!
I look back down on my screen, shake my head, suppress a giggle, and press the 'A' button to begin. If there ever was a thought in my mind about this ride being boring, they all instantly fled. But I should concentrate on the game right now.
"Everybody, we'll be stopping at a place to eat. It's not going to be anything fancy, fast food I'm afraid but it'll be food. You'll have a half an hour to eat so we can get on the road and be at the cabin by three in the afternoon."
I press the pause button and look at Chibodee. "How long has it been?"
He looks back at me as confused as I am, before looking at his watch. "Whoa, Bee, it's been two hours!"
"Two hours already?! I didn't think eleven races would take that long and we're not even finished!"
"Well nine races I guess would be good." He turns his system off. "You win." He reluctantly says while looking the other way for a moment. "So . . . How are you going to use your I. O. U.?"
"Heh, heh. Don't think your getting off that easily, I'm going to gloat over this for all it's worth!" I say with one of Chibs' cocky grins on.
He heaves a sigh "I had a feeling you would." He says. Of course I will! He does it to me when he wins!
I smile and look up to him, trying my best to look and act as cocky as he does when he wins. But instead he smiles, at me, a warm and gentle smile. His eyes are gleaming are looking straight into mine with such fondness in them. I feel my chest tighten and my cheeks become hotter. I quickly look past him toward the window behind him.
"Oh! Wow, lookie! I guess that's where we'll be eating." I say full of energy, pretending like I actually care. So much for gloating huh?
"Yeah, I guess so." He responds in his normal voice. "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know, we can decide when we see everything." I respond as if it was 'simple as that'. Wait on minute '*we* can decide'? Goodness! I meant 'I'll decide.' 'I'll decide!' No 'we'! I heave I sigh, oh well perhaps I overreact after all there's nothing wrong with friends eating together.
'Then why were you so paranoid about it? Making it bigger than it was?' An inner voice asks.
'Shut-up.' I reply. When does the conscience get involved in love matters? OH! Umm . . . I mean friendship status.
We pull over into a court of fast food places. "But on the bright side, you'll have your choice on where you want to eat. Well then here we go" Raymond continues as he parks the bus to the side. "Have a good lunch, remember only a half an hour!"
I unbuckle my seat belt and get up. Ah it's sooo nice to stretch! As soon as I finish stretching, just about when everyone else was off, Chibodee grabs my hand, and leads me off the bus.
"Go ahead and pick." He says with a bounce to his voice if that's possible.
"Umm . . ." I look around. "That place!" I point to a place called 'Joe's Burgers' "It'll be like cheeseburgers and such right? I haven't had one since I was seven!"
"Really seven? Alright if that's what you want, then let's go."
We walk towards Joe's as I look at the different directions everyone else is going to. But it looks like we're the only one heading this way. Hmm . . . Hmm! I look down and see that my hand is still with Chibodee's hand. Now to say something or not to? Well I don't want to be mean, so why not!
'Excuse' I voice in my head sneezes. But I don't care, right now I'm happy, and no voice is going to make me start that long series of questions.
He opens the wooden door to find an outrageous inside of wood and grill. It's interesting that goes without question; it's themed like a ranch or something. But it's fast food, you can tell by the set up. It has a counter, although that's also made of wood, a cashier, and some grills and other cooking supplies in the back, but within visible eye. The place is kinda creepy though; we're the only ones in here . . .
"WELCOME to Joe's!" A voice suddenly greets us. The word 'welcome' said in English.
"Err . . . Thanks, um hi. I would like a double cheeseburger with large fries and a large soda." Chibodee gave his order to the man.
"And you little missy?" Man what a creepy guy. Is he trying to be an old- fashioned American cowboy? He's dressed like one! Hat, boots, vest, everything! Even the fake accent!
"I'm not a 'little missy' I'm seventeen years old, not ten! And I'll have a cheeseburger, medium fries, and a medium soda, umm please."
"Whoa there ma'am sorry 'bout that. I'll give you your fries for free as an apology." The poor Chinese man says with his hands making waving motions of going back and forth in front of his chest.
"Thank you." Chibodee accepts the apology for me. Erg I can't believe that though, 'little missy' I don't look like a kid!
"Bee?" Huh? I look at Chibodee, caught a little off guard. "Why don't you pick a place for us to eat, I'll bring the food okay?"
"What about me paying my share?"
"I have it covered." He winks. "Besides you don't eat that much, so it's not expensive." I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult, so I'll leave it be. Our hands let go of one another as I looked for a place to sit and eat.
Hay, hay is the seat for most of these wooden tables, there has to be one that doesn't have hay as a seat! I continue to look around. Nope, none.
"Find some place?" Chibodee asks as he sneaks up behind me.
"Nope, sorry Chibs, and I don't want to sit on itchy hay for lunch."
He laughs playfully "I figured you wouldn't Bee, so I asked for a to-go bag." He lifts it up for me to see.
"It's creepy how you can read me so easily sometimes."
"Heh, actually Bee, you can be rather difficult to read." He says with a shrug. "Come on let's eat outside, while we can still enjoy the warmer climate."
I stand there for a moment watching his figure gesturing me to go outside. I'm difficult to read? Then how come he does it so well? "Come on Bee." I hear, and I catch up to him and receive a friendly smile as my reward, as I return it. Then a cheeseburger is shoved into my mouth. He laughs as I run after him pretending to be mad. This is going to be a skiing trip to remember, it already started off as so.
~*~ End of Chapter 9 ~*~
AN: Whew, thank goodness that chapter is done, I had a huge writer's block for the middle of it, in fact this chapter was going to be longer but that block couldn't/wouldn't move. So if this chapter isn't that good, well at least you know why. The next chapter maybe next two might be a slower update but after that it'll speed up SUPER fast. And if there are any ten- year-olds who read this and feel mad, I'm sorry, I used that reference, I think, three times. It's nothing personal, just an estimation.
Happy Holidays to everyone (it's early just incase I don't get another update to say that ^.^ ) and thank you for reading this chapter.
Oh! If anyone would comment on to keep the dream part I'd be very appreciative of you! It fits but it doesn't so if anyone wants to review it'd be nice if you would give a hint to keep it or not. THANK YOU! =0)
~*~ Response to the Readers ~*~
~~~ Last chapter I got thirteen reviews! WOW! You people are the coolest! THANK YOU! =0D Ever review made my day! ~~~
To: starangel100890
Hi! Thank you for saying the last chapter was excellent; oh that's soooo nice of you! And it would've been rude for me to leave you out; if you can take the time to review I can take the time to respond. Or at least that's what I believe. ^-^ I promise to read one of your stories during holiday break. It's a few hour flight, then another two hour wait, then another few hours for flying back home, so I'm print a story of yours out and read it on the plane! =0D So expect a review within December to January!
As for Chibodee being frustrating, lol, he can be, but thinking of his chapter from Chibodee's POV actually helped me. (If you care) I originally thought of most of the chapter, except for the dream, in Chibodee's POV, then thought of how Allenby would take his actions. It seems like a lot but it helps a whole bunch!
Thank you for reviewing my last chapter, I hope to hear from you again. And your welcome for reviewing your poems, they were so great! You have a great talent in poetry, probably in story telling too, I'll find out over holiday break promise! Thanks again!

To: Turtle Lover
Hi Turtle Lover! Wow, thank you for starting to read my story! I can understand how busy one can be. (ALL my teachers piled essays and projects on us the same week, all due the following -_-) So I'm also glad you started reading my fic. I Domon and Rain are one of my favorite couples too, well so are Chibodee and Allenby, and others from G-gundam pairs they're so many, but keep reading things will get more interesting for other couples. ^.^ I hope I'll hear/read another review from you on this chapter, sorry if it wasn't that good.

To: SaiSaiciAngel
You were sick the whole trip?! Oh, well that's kind of a bummer, but at least you were able to finish reading (like you said) and Nintendo is always fun! (well unless you keep losing, then it can be frustrating ^.^ ' ) But you got homework for the summer! Wow, that's must not be fun at all, unless you like summer homework. My new school gives summer reading homework, but not math. Hmm, ah well if you had an okay time, I guess that's good! At least you seem to realy love the house that's always nice! =0)
Lol, you're the only one you caught that Stalker is the Taxi driver, lol. Or the only one to say anything at least. If you don't mind, I'm going to read that story you mentioned, but I'm going to read it during holiday vacation break. I'll probably also read the prequel, and the 14 tournament, too! I'm going to be in an airplane and airports for a while so I decided to print out stories so I can read them, lol, thanks for the idea! I'm sure they're going to be great stories I'm looking forward to reading it!
=0) Yes I like the nickname "Bee" it's cute. I was thinking of nicknames, "Allen" was one "Ally" was another and "Bee" was the last. I decided to have it be name for some cheesy reason that I was thinking on having Chibodee say later, but I'm most likely not going to have him say it. Since he's not going to say it I'll tell you, or at least the logic, it was because bees make honey (sweet) but can sting (spunk) something that Allenby has both of! Cheesy huh? But hopefully that makes since. =0\
"Allen" is a cute nickname too! Although your story is a little confusing @.@ I think I understand it. (No offence, I'm a little slow at times ^.^ ')
As for Marie Louise's hobby, it makes since in the long run. I needed somebody to be a photographer, and when I limited it down she was the best one to fit that role! She still is, I think. Lol, and I'm glad that you're happy that Chibodee said Allenby was cute. I was fun writing. =0) And as for the picture next chapter has the answer to that. ^-^ (Can't say) Kenan and Kel! I love that show Kel was the best with the orange soda! And Kenan is now on Saturday Night Live! (My how they grow up.) Lol, oh, back on subject, well Raymond does fit the role doesn't he? Lol. Well I'm very happy that you liked the last chapter, I hope you like this one as well. Thank you for reviewing SaiSaiciAngel!

To: Dreaming Wolf
Hi Dreaming Wolf thanks for reviewing this time. I did take a look at your Allenby fics. They seem good! Max an OC I take it, but I'm really looking foreward to Allenby's Past. But I promised myself I wouldn't read it until after I finished my other story (it's about a point in time of Allenby's past) so I wouldn't stray off my original idea. (No offence, I'll *happily* read afterwards). But I'll read a story of yours during holiday vacation. Promise, I'm sure they're *very* good! Thank you for reviewing, I hope to earn another review.

Wow you sn was changed again! It used to be Tsunami Strom and that was changed from bluefrosting! Lol, this one is much more creative and personal though, very cute. My story is intresting and loved? Oh THANK YOU soo much! Didn't get enough sleep at a sleepover, lol, yeah sounds like me. I'm glad you're not going to drop any stories, but a lot of them are on hold. If you don't mind I was planning on reading 'All I Have' over holiday break okay? Expect a review between December to January!

Lol, I'm glad I was missed? Thanks for wondering where I went; it's nice to know that from time to time. =0) And Neko is back! Lol, Yay! I hope Neko is here for this chapter too! Lol, you and Neko are such a funny pair! I always get a laugh, thanks. I'm glad you liked the last chapter; I sincerely hope this chapter wasn't too disappointing. Oh! And thank you for pointing out about Bunny, I added her in with Shirley in the revised chapter. I'll try to update faster on the next chapter, but no grantees! ^.^ ' Thank you for reviewing again, hopefully I'll earn another review. Bye!

To: Neko
Hi Neko, even though you reviewed with Black Joker Lady I decided to add a response to you too! As for the sisterly bond that developed between Allenby and Rain, I think it comes when sisters become older, I know that's what happened with a lot of people I know. Little sisters are "annoying" until they grow up! I wouldn't know I'm the little sister in my family. Lol, and I hope you didn't get hurt when you were kicked out the window. Have fun orbiting the stratosphere with Black Joker Lady!

Hi Sissi!
I hope you don't mind if this is a short reply. Yes it seems like last chapter was the climax of the story, although, I have MANY events coming up, not some much in the next chapter but the ones following. Lol, thanks for the comment on how Allenby greeted Chibodee, I had that in mind for the chapter from the get-go it just seemed so cute that I had to put it in. =0) And if you caught the last main comment from Chibodee at the end of this chapter, that'd be your response for Chibodee receiving Allenby's confusing messages. As for you future predictions, I'm not going to say much on them, just read it'll come out within the next two chapters, not as much as the next but the one following (I'm looking foreword to writing that chapter =0) ) Well, hope you like this chapter and to earn another review from you.

Hi Allenby! Here's another update, finally my writers block left, although it's not exactly the best chapter the worlds or the history of the story at least it's up right? I'm looking foreword from to another update from you though, you update way more often than me, which is a good habit, so try not to break it cause your stories are just soooooo good! Yay! I'm happy that I made you a fan of this couple! That makes me soooooo happy! ^-^ And I'm glad that you enjoyed the last chapter, I hope you some-what liked this chapter as well. The ski-trip is in the next two to three chapters coming up! Personally I'm looking forward to not the next chapter but the one after that. (That's going to be fun to write) Well, ja ne Allenby! Hope to earn another review from you.
