Allenby Beardsley: Hi guys! *slowly walks in and takes her seat* Sorry I didn't update sooner; a LOT of things have been happening lately. I got a REALLY bad case of strep throat, and it hurts real bad too. I can't stop coughing, so it makes it a little tough to type. Second, I just broke up with my bf who I was very serious about, and we were both telling our dear friend Podv that we still loved each other. Podv then set us up a time to both meet each other online to patch things up. Well, that time was 8:30 last night. However, due to my brother's damned football team, I couldn't get online until 8:50, and when I logged in, he wasn't on. He didn't even send me an email, and I waited for him to come on until past 10, but he never came. So yeah, I'm still upset about that a bit. *sighs* I'm sorry for ranting there. Oh yeah, if anyone has any ideas for this story or any questions for me or just wants to talk to me, my MSN IM is g_gundam_fighter_allenby@yahoo.com, and the same for my email. Just leave your sn so I know who it is. Now, onto the reviews!
Desert Fox, thanks. Well, she probably does, but knowing something and having it happen to you are two completely different things, don't you agree? Anyway, as she said in the last chappie, Allenby doesn't read the newspapers (or tabloids). Ouie! Does the number of T's in Chibodee's last name REALLY matter that much?
Chibodee: *jumps in* Yes!
Allenby Beardsley: -.-;; Anyway…Desert Fox, if it will REALLY make you feel better, I'll start putting 2 T's in his last name. But no, Dr. Behluima isn't the doctor with glasses. Does Chibodee really call George that? I don't remember reading that in the manga or in the series, but then again, it's been awhile since I've really watched a G Gundam ep with Chibodee and George. But I like the nickname Rose Boy better, can't I use that? C'mon! I'm changing the T thing! But I do agree with you, George IS cooler than Darien from SM.
Shorty40, Lol, they are, aren't they? Well, I hope you like this chappie, and I'm starting the real chappie 8. Keep an eye out!
The "famous" Dreaming Wolf, well you should be called that! Lol. Anyway, tis ok about not having any new G Gundam fics. I understand about the whole school thing, which reminds me that I had to missed school yesterday, and now I have 3 tests to make up, damnit! Take care, and heed my advice from when I was in the 8th grade, don't procrastinate. Trust me, or you'll end up getting screwed and almost fail your classes.
Sai Saici Angel, Holy crap! *laughs for joy* You like my fic!! *dances for joy* That's cool! Oh yeah, I don't see that many similarities b/t this and "Nail Polish", so don't worry. I love the pool scene b/t Chibodee and Allenby though! That was the best part of the fic I think. Yeah, it does make me mad how they don't go into Allenby's past and life (btw, your Allenby Beardsley: Chapter Zero fic is so cool! Update soon!). But no, I don't think I've really ever been embarrassed with my writing, at least not on this account. I only get nervous when I misname ppl. I hope you continue liking this, and I swear, I WILL email you back soon! I've been forgetting to email ppl back for a couple of weeks now. Gomen sai!
Random Info Person, ouie! Well, I've seen it both ways on how to spell it, so, since I've started with Behluima, I think I'll just stick with it. There are so many variations of how to spell anime character's names. Take a look at DragonBall Z, there are seriously over 10 just on how to spell Vegeta.
Matt Taylor, glad you liked it! Yeah, I did have some fun writing that a bit, and I was hoping that it was good. Guess it was. Lol. Yeah, keep Hans in mind. He'll be coming up a LOT in future chappies. I agree that Domon would most likely still care about Allenby even though he chose Rain. You will see his reaction I think in the next chappie. As for if the rest of the SA read the article…I really don't know yet. I'm glad you like this fic.
Ken no Kakera, well yours is really good! *gasps* I'm the only one?? Oh now, this won't do at all! *glares at all the readers* Go and read her fic and review so she'll update, or else….
Chibodee: What are you REALLY going to do about that?…
Allenby Beardsley: Uh… *thinks* I'll go into Berserker mode!
Chibodee: *looks panickedly at readers* Please go read that fic!
Allenby: *smiles and does a peace sign* Anyway, Ken no Kakera, I'm sorry but there's not any C/A fluff in this chappie, there will be in the next one though! Just be patient! I have to build the relationship first! Keep reading and writing though!
Chibodee Crocket, ah, my dear Chibodee… Lol, modesty isn't your virtue, is it? Lol, well you didn't specify what kind of kiss you wanted…hehe, besides, I couldn't resist! Also, you gave me a real kiss earlier in the fic, remember? Wow, amazing! First time I was called that in awhile! Lol. Aw, poor Chib! *hands him a coupon to IHOP* Well, you are right; this IS fanfic, so Jones isn't real. I took a bunch of jerks at my school and made them into Jones. I've been called a bitch so long irl that it doesn't bother me anymore. That was sweet though. Thanks for liking the fic! *notices the wink and becomes slightly nervous* Uh… *blushes slightly, then recomposes herself and smirks* Well… Sai Saici's quiet about it now… *points to Sai Saici who is tied up and has duck tape over his mouth*
Sai Saici: ERM! ERM! (translation: Why the hell did you do this to me??)
Allenby Beardsley: C'mon Sai! You're gonna go visit a friend of mine…. *pulls on the rope that Sai is tied with and leads him to Sai Saici Angel's door, puts a red bow on his head and leaves him there*
Lol, well, I should probably do the disclaimer now… *gets out a tissue and coughs really hard and her headache comes back* Ow….
Chibodee: *walks in* C'mon, I'll put ya to bed.
Allenby Beardsley: *looks at him warily*
Chibodee: Not like that, just so you can rest.
Allenby Beardsley: But I got to do the disclaimer. I'm alright… *takes out a couple of more tissues and coughs into them*
Chibodee: Don't worry about it. *picks up Allenby gently* She doesn't own G Gundam. There, it's taken care of. Now, let's get you to bed.
Allenby Beardsley: *smirks slightly and snuggles against him as she begins to fall asleep* You know…you deserve a real kiss for that…
Chibodee: *smiles* I'm all for that!
Allenby Beardsley: But I can't give you one…not today.
Chibodee: *pouts, and begins walking to Allenby's bedroom* Why not?
Allenby Beardsley: Because the doctor said that I was contagious until Sunday…I don't want to get you sick.
Chibodee: *smiles* Ok. *places her in bed and tucks her in*
Allenby Beardsley: Nighty night… *falls asleep*
Chibodee: *smiles at her, then turns to the readers* Don't forget to review.
When Chibodee Met AllenbyChapter Seven B
However, Allenby could tell it wasn't going to be a good day. Before she even reached the door, she heard yelling; it was the scientists. She bit her lip nervously as she walked closer to it, trying to prepare herself from the lecture she would get and to think of a way to convince them to let her go. Slowly, she grabbed onto the doorknob and, with a breath of bravado, opened to the door to enter the laboratory.
"THIS IS A TOTAL DISGRACE!!!" she could hear Dr. Nomed bellow as she stepped in. She bit her lip nervously and cringed in pain when the sound waves hit her; her poor ears were ringing like crazy; it was a wonder she wasn't deaf. It was obvious that neither had saw her come in, but she decided it would be best to keep silent until they did discover her there or until they stopped arguing; whichever one happened first, although she strongly suspected that number one would be it.
"Now, Dr. Nomed," Dr. Behluima said calmly, trying to soothe his colleague's anger. "I'm sure it was just nothing. Allenby is a very respectful young woman; she would know better than to do that sir. This is all probably just a mistake. You know how the media is sir. They take the slightest thing, twist it around, and blow out of proportion." However, his noble efforts DIDN'T calm him down. Instead, Dr. Nomed only seem to grow madder.
"But do you know how the public will react??!" Dr. Nomed demanded. He slammed a copy of the dreaded tabloid magazine down on the desk hard, making his colleague jump slightly back in shock. "She's an embarrassment to the military!!!"
It was then that Allenby lost it. She didn't care if it would ruin her chance to go to Neo-France. It was hard enough to take those insults from the soldiers, but she was sure as hell NOT going to take it from him.
"Then maybe you should *fire* me!!!" she snapped, stomping her foot, her anger pouring out in her voice like water from a river, bringing the attention of the two quarreling scientists to her.
"Allenby…" Dr. Behluima whispered, a sad frown forming on his face as he looked to her. Dr. Nomed glared at her.
"Would you care to explain this??" he snapped, picking up the tabloid magazine and tossing it to her. Allenby causally caught it and threw it into the trashcan without even looking at it.
"I went to a bar, talked to Chibodee, went to his hotel room for dinner with his crew, spent the night, and came to the airport," she explained, glaring at the older man. "That's all."
"Did you even consider the humiliation you might put this nation through when you did this??"
"The *nation's* humiliation?? What about *my* humiliation?! I'm entitled to live my own life!"
"Ever since you went running around with that Gundam fighter from Neo-Japan, you've been picking up wild ideas. I knew you shouldn't be around such a menacing hoodlum," Dr. Nomed commented.
He did it there. As upset as Allenby was with the rest of the military calling her a slut, as mad as she was for him dubbing her a disgrace to their nation, it was nothing compared to the fury she felt when he called Domon a "menacing hoodlum." No one, no one could insult Domon like that around her and get away with it. She was so furious, she couldn't even see hardly. Her hands were balled up into fists, and her body was shaking, it was so hard to restrain herself from killing the scientist. Even Dr. Behluima gasped in shock when he saw her in all of her anger and wondered how he was going to keep her from killing his colleague.
"I didn't pick up *anything*!! It's called 'common sense'!! And Domon's *not* a hoodlum!"
"You dare talk back to me?!" Before Allenby could answer his question, Dr. Behluima stepped in between the two.
"Now, both of you stop it!" he pleaded. "We've all been under a lot of stress with the Gundam fights just now over and the battle with the Dark Gundam. I believe that we all should take some time off, just enough to relax a bit and cool off so we don't end up trying to kill each other. For, how can we truly represent this country correctly if we can't even stay in the same room together?"
Dr. Nomed huffed and turned away and walked further into the laboratory to his office and slapped the door closed. Allenby hung her head in shame. While she didn't care if Dr. Nomed fell off a cliff, she felt bad for making Dr. Behluima mad at her. He had always tried to respect her privacy and tried to be a father to her, and this was no way to pay him back, that she did knew.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled. He smiled at her slightly and patted her shoulder.
"Allenby, I know you've been under a lot of stress and that the past couple of days have been hard on you. You deserve a break. Now, is there something you wanted to talk about?" She looked up at him and bit her lip nervously.
"Did you mean it when you said that I needed a break?" He nodded. "Well…is it okay if…I…"
"What is it, Allenby?"
"Well, I got a letter from George de Sand, the Gundam fighter from Neo-France, and he invited me to his country for a party they're having…is it…okay if I go?…"
He smiled warmly. "I do not see any reason why you shouldn't."
"But won't Dr. Nomed-"
"I'll go take care of him. Do you want someone to escort you there?"
"Is it okay if Sgt. Hans O' Neil drops me off there?" He smiled and nodded. "Can I leave tonight?"
He chuckled, "I think it might be best if you did. Just be careful Allenby." She smiled and nodded.
"I will! Thank you so much Dr. Behluima!" she cried happily, gave the scientist a hug, and ran out of the room.
She ran out into the hall and saw him standing there, looking over the same clipboard as earlier, thinking of how to b.s. yet another report to his superiors. Her grin grew as she saw him. "Hey, Hans!!!"
He turned and smiled slightly as she ran over to him. "Hi Alley." She was so happy about being able to go to Neo-France that she didn't hear the dreaded nickname, and she hugged him tightly for a second, then jumped back and smiled at him happily.
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"They're going to let me go!!" She was literally jumping up and down with joy. He smiled.
"That's great Alley, when do you get to go?"
"Tonight!" He nodded. "And guess what, Hans?"
"What Alley?" For once, instead of threatening to rip off his…vital parts, she merely laughed at the nickname joyfully.
"You're going to drop me off!"
He laughed, "I'd be honored. You need to go get packing though."
"Oh! You're right!" The two laughed, and she ran further down the hall to her quarters, then turned back at him, still smiling. "You think I should change my clothes?"
"If you want." She smiled and ran back to her room.
"What to pack? What to pack?" she thought as she wandered throughout her room. She pulled out a large black leather suitcase and stuffed four of her jumpsuits in there as well as four of her pink vests. She glanced at her military uniform and put it in as well; after all, she was representing her country; she should show some pride for it. "But what to wear on the plane ride?…" Suddenly, her eyes caught hold of an outfit neatly folded up in a box in her closet. A smile came across her face as she remembered the first time she wore it. It had been several weeks since she last wore it… She couldn't wait to see the guys' face when they saw her.
