When Chibodee Met Allenby

Chapter Twelve

"I did!"

"Didn't!"

The hissing went back and forth.  Now, George was too polite to say anything of course, no matter how vexing it was.  Argo didn't care.  Sai Saici was amused by this and watched with great interest.  Rain was getting annoyed but didn't want to add to the commotion, so she kept quiet.  Chibodee's girls sighed in expiration, embarrassed by how immature Chibodee was acting.  Domon simply rolled his eyes at them, finding it to start getting on his nerves.  Natasha was well…getting pissed.

"CUT IT OUT RIGHT NOW!!!" Natasha finally bellowed, making Chibodee and Allenby stop instantly and gaped at the Neo-Russian warden.  Scared by what she might do to them if they provoked her anger even further, they kept quiet and finished their dinner in dead silence.  In fact, everyone was quiet, for fear of what the deadly Neo-Russian was capable of doing.

Finally, dinner came to a close, and George smiled at his guests.  "Wasn't that lovely?" he replied, smiling over sweetly.  "Now, if you don't mind, Princess Marie-Louise kindly requests your presence at a ball tonight.  It shall begin within a couple of hours, I hope to see you all there."  With that said, he left for his quarters to go get ready himself.  Argo and Natasha simply went to their rooms, not saying a word to get dressed.  Sai Saici chased down George and after finding out that an invitation was accepted by a certain Gundam fighter and his sister in Neo-Norway, he cheered for joy and dashed off to the room.  Rain grabbed Domon's arm and began swooning over the idea of dancing with him.  Domon smiled back at her and led her back to her room.  Chibodee's girls began to chat excitedly about the ball and went up to their room to prepare as well.  That only left two more Gundam fighters with green eyes…

"A ball?" Allenby asked. 

"Huh?" Chibodee asked, turning to her.

"Oh!  I wish George told me that they were going to *have* a ball!"

"Why?  What's wrong with a ball?  I agree it's a little old-fashion but –"

"No, that's not it…"

"Then what?"

"Well…"  She looked down to the ground, embarrassed.  "I don't have a dress with me."

"Is that all?"

"Huh?" she questioned, looking up at him.  Chibodee smiled, an idea forming.

"You can borrow a dress from one of my girls!  Don't worry!  They always pack too much anyway.  They won't mind!" 

She smiled back.  "Thanks Chibodee.  But…"

"But what?"

"I…I…"  She looked down.  "I don't know how to dance," she admitted in a soft voice.

"You don't know how to dance?" Chibodee laughed unintentionally too loud.  Allenby glared at him.  "Oh, right.  Sorry.  Well…"

"Well, what?"

"I can teach ya if you want?"

Allenby blinked.  "You'd do that for me?"  He nodded.  "And you wouldn't tell anyone, not even your girls?"  Another nod.  She smiled at him and shook his hand.

"Thanks Chibodee!"  He smiled back as he shook her hand.

"No prob."

"Well?"

"Well, what?"

"What are you waiting for?!  The ball starts in two hours!  Let's learn this thing!" she chimed and grabbed his hand and dragged him back to their room.
