Chibodee: NUUUU!!!!!
Allenby: Anyway, thanks for liking the chappie! And don't worry, lol, I LOVE your reviews! They make me laugh! Also, I understand the dress TOTALLY. Update your fic soon, please???
Shuffle Queen, don't worry about being a bother; you're not. All you reviewers make my day; don't EVER think you're a bother. Without you, this fic would not be possible. YOU all make it happen! Remember that. Also, don't worry about doing the different ideas; I mean, you read my descriptions for people's outfits in this, you can find some of them in SSA's detention fic (which is VERY funny), and as long as it's not word-for-word, I don't care. But that is a nice thing for you to say though about liking my fic. It pleases me to know that people like them. I PROMISE to go review your fic this weekend! Seriously!
Ken no Kakera, lol. Yes! Damn the person! (pardon my language) Damn the person into hell! Glad you liked it though, and I need to review your fics as well. Don't worry, if I can email back Dreaming Wolf, (after she had emailed me in JANUARY!) I can review your fics! Lol.
SSA, don't worry! Hey!…What do you mean "not worthy"?! Dude! If it wasn't for YOU, I'd STILL be stuck five chapters ago! It is ME who is not worthy to read/review YOUR fics! After all, it WAS your Detention, Shooting Stars, and Eternal Life fics that got me STARTED on reading G Gundam fanfics! You're da man!…err…woman…ah, you know what I mean! Sorry for getting this out later than I originally planned! (Chib also told me you're feeling down, and I hope you feel better soon; you can always talk to me if you want to rant.)
Loss of Innocence, yay! I have a new reviewer! Cool! And you like it? Wow! Thanks! Um….Hm… Heh. *laughs nervously* Guess I just did the opposite of what you said, huh? I can't help it! Seriously, I think my favorite part of writing this fic is this, responding to y'all's reviews! It's so much fun getting to communicate with you guys like this! Sorry if I rant too much though! I hope you continue to like this!
Alimoe =OD, hey! Wow, can you believe we're almost DONE with our junior year?! Lol. About time! Yeah, those tests are bloody vexing; I finished my about…3wks ago? Somewhere around then. Thanks for checking for spelling and grammar errors for me in the chappies though. Chib can tell ya, I'm bad when it comes to that!
Chibodee: Ain't that the truth…
Allenby: HEY!
Chibodee: EEP!
Allenby: Anyway…. Thanks again though for all your compliments! They mean a LOT! And about yours, great job too! *coughupdatesooncough*
And now, Chib.
Chibodee: Yes?
Allenby: Okay, well, I know; I just thought it would be cool though, and I want to see a picture of that! Lol, don't worry though! I know what you mean! Aww, thanks! That's nice! Yeah, we are good friends, aren't we? Lol. *sighs, then laughs* Yeah, I KNEW you'd say that! Talk to ya later!
And now…the fun part: the disclaimer. I do not own G Gundam nor do I own "My Cherie Amour," by Stevie Wonder. Also, please see my bio for an important message.
When Chibodee Met Allenby
It was like a grand ball from a fairy tale. Yes, everyone was dressed up beautifully, and even Allenby had to admit she looked beautiful as well. She felt as though she was Cinderella today, and tonight was her night to shine. Now, all she needed was to dance with her Prince Charming in order to make this fairy tale dream come true.
She sadly sighed. "Yeah right, fat chance of *that* happening…" she thought depressingly. She shifted her weight on her chair to get more comfortable as she watched everyone dancing with lazy, sad, longing eyes.
Princess Marie-Louise looked every bit her part, wearing a deep violet silk dress that had a gold trim with stones sewn into it in an intricate design and looked like it was from Medieval Europe. Allenby could have sworn that those gems on her dress were real diamonds. She wore a shimmering gold crown on her head, but of course since she was a princess after all, and her hair came down in a cascade of sunshine-blond curls.
Natasha was wearing a sleeveless black dress that had a black beaded top and a black satin skirt, and she wore a pair black-gem dangle earrings. It was modestly cut, which made sense, given Natasha's character, but nonetheless, it looked great on her. Her long, wavy green hair was pulled back into a tight bun.
Cecil had on a simple spaghetti-string dress in the shade of a bright green. The dress had a flowery skirt, almost giving the impression she was a mermaid with a green tail. There were swirls of forest green sequins on it, giving the look of either ripples on her skirt or in a way, scales. Her hair was in a high ponytail, tied there by a green ribbon the same color as the dress. She wore a simple strand of white pearls around her neck and right wrist, as well as donning on a pair of pear earrings, and she looked absolutely adorable.
As usual, Chibodee's girls all looked fabulous. Shirley, of course, was in her red dress. Bunny wore a sleeveless blue dress; the top was an ice blue, covered in sliver glitter, and the skirt was full-length and made of navy blue silk. Her glasses even matched her dress; she wore a pair that a thin blue frame, and she wore sliver bangles on her wrists, a sapphire ring, and small sliver hoop earrings. Cath donned on an orange dress that looked similar to Marilyn Monroe's famous white dress, except the skirt came to her ankles, and she wore a gold bracelet on her left wrist and large golden hoop earrings. Janet wore a strapless golden yellow dress, having the skirt full-length and was almost completely back less, the top of the back just a tiny bit above her waist, and she had a shawl that was sheer except for the gold sparkles on it. She wore a gold bracelet that wrapped around her arm, almost reaching up to her elbow and a simple thick gold-chained necklace.
Finally, there was Rain. To make it short, she looked perfect. One hundred percent perfect. She wore a wavy, long-sleeved white silk kimono that had the pattern of roses sew beautifully into it. The dress had slits on the sides that came up almost all the way up to her hip and highlighted her nice figure, but it still was covered her decently. She wore a white headband in her chestnut-brown hair, white high heels, and even wore pearl earrings instead of her traditional gold ones. She seemed to be glowing; she looked like an angel.
Allenby turned her attention away from Rain, not wanting to feel bad about herself, and looked over at the guys.
George was the perfect compliment to Marie-Louise. He did look fantastic in his formal uniform for his ranking as a knight. It was navy blue with red cuffs, a gold trim, and gold buttons and fastens on the top. His black leather boots were polished to a bright shine, and he also wore all his medals and a long, flowing red cape. To Allenby, he looked like he was dressed for the role of a prince…a prince for Marie-Louise, that is.
Argo still looked as every bit as his usual stoic self. He wore black suit pants and jacket as well as a black tie. But what shocked Allenby was his dress shirt: it was pink! She had to stifle a laugh when she saw it, finding it to be quite surprising to see that on Argo of all things. However, she supposed he looked nice in it, not really one to judge the Neo-Russian on his looks.
Sai Saici shocked her by looked mature and almost grown-up in his black Chinese-style suit with gold trim. The suit fitted him perfectly, and his hair was tied back with a gold ribbon, and he lost his brown leather wristbands. Of course, the only thing clashing with this classy, mature look was the childish grin he wore on his face as he danced with Cecil.
Having already seen Chibodee, she didn't even bother looking for him as her eyes suddenly fell on the last member of the Shuffle Alliance. Domon. When she caught sight of him, she didn't know whether to stare at him lovingly and longingly or to laugh. While he was wearing a suit, and she wondered how Rain talked him into that one, he still wore his biker gloves and his red cloak. He seemed to always be wearing that cloak; she wondered if he ever took it off long enough to be washed. However, she still couldn't help but want to dance with him.
Sighing sadly, her eyes fell upon her fingers as she tapped them on the table. Everyone else was either talking or dancing with someone else.
Chibodee was telling a joke to a couple of fellow Gundam fighters, when his eyes suddenly fell on Allenby. He didn't know why, but he wanted to see how she was doing, and when he saw her sitting there by herself, looking miserable, he almost felt sad. "Look guys…" he began, his eyes still on her, "I'll catch up with ya later." With that said, he walked off, over to the DJ, talked to him for a moment, and began walking over to Allenby.
She didn't notice Chibodee coming towards her until he sat down next to her. "Hi Chibodee," she said, still looking down at her nails.
"Hey… Why aren't you smiling?" he asked, concerned. She merely shrugged in response. Chibodee quickly caught a glance at Domon and Rain dancing, and the answer hit him.
~ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ~
"Allenby, look at me," he said, his voice gentle yet stern at the same time; she did as he said. "Okay, there's not going to be any chance for that wish to come true; there won't be any romance between you and him tonight; there might not even a good drink for you…" She laughed at that part. "But by God," he said, standing up and pulling her up to him, "there *will* be dancing!" With that said, and before she could have a chance to object, he led her out onto the dance floor and began to dance with her.
~ My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine ~
He spun her around, pulling away from her, then pulling her back close. Allenby couldn't help but laugh and smile as she danced with him, remembering the time they spent together as he taught her and just from the crazy grin he was wearing. They were dancing to the moderately slow song, smiling and trying their best not to laugh.
"You know, I can sing this song!" Chibodee declared proudly.
"No, you can't!" she argued, laughing.
"Yeah, I can!" he scoffed, laughing as well. "Just listen!"
~ In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine ~
Surely, he did sing the words in the same timing as the singer, but he was, well…flat. She laughed harder, and he pretended to be hurt. He spun her out quickly, getting his revenge as a joke only. However, Allenby, haven't really fully gotten the hand of wearing high heels, stumbled back, and would have fallen, had it not been for Chibodee catching her.
The contact shocked them both. Oh sure, Chibodee wasn't about to drop Allenby; he'd never drop a girl for one thing, and another, she might kill him if he did. She was almost positive that he wouldn't let her fall like this, but she didn't quite expect him to catch her either. For a moment, they just stared into each other's eyes, confused by the new feeling.
~ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine ~
The music snapped them out of their thoughts, and Allenby looked up at him, a somewhat nervous and shy glint to her eye. "Um…Chibodee?…." she asked.
"Yeah?" he whispered, wondering why he felt like his feet were made of stone as he held her there in his arms.
"Can you help me up?" she asked, raising her eyebrows as she smiled to him hopefully. He smirked, then laughed as he pulled her back up, careful not to go too fast.
"What? You didn't like falling into my arms?" he kid. She rolled her eyes, laughed good-naturedly, and took his hands again, the two got ready to dance again, when…
~ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ~
And the song died. She almost frowned as she looked in the direction of where the DJ was. "Oh…the song's over…" she said, a sad tone evident in her voice, no matter how much she tried to conceal it or would deny it if questioned about it. He nodded in agreement as he, too, looked over to the music entertainment section. She looked back to him, trying to think of a way to thank him, when Sai Saici came over.
"Wow! Great dancing you two!" he replied loudly, a wide grin to his face. Allenby sheepishly smiled and nodded.
"Thanks Sai, that's ni—"
"Aw, of course we did! I'm the best!" Chibodee joked, wrapping his arm around Allenby, who glared at him momentarily for interrupting her, before rolling her eyes, trying not to laugh, as so did Sai.
"Is there anything you *can't* do, Chibodee?" she asked sarcastically. He only smirked and looked at her.
"Nope! I'm the master, remember? There is nothing I can't do!" he boasted proudly. Allenby and Sai only laughed.
"Except beat Domon!" they chanted in a loud voice at the same time.
"Hey! As I recall, you *two* couldn't beat him *either*!"
"Hey! I came close!" Allenby snapped back.
"And I damaged part of his Gundam!" Sai remarked.
"Minor details," Chibodee sneered. Allenby play hit his arm as he released her, freeing herself to hold her sides as she laughed. Sai Saici was about to comment about that when Cecil called for him. Not wanting to keep her waiting, he ran off to her.
Allenby let out a slight yawn as she felt fatigue slowly crawl upon her. Chibodee looked down at her, a playful smirk to his face. "Aw, is it time for the little girl's bed time, already?" She glared.
"I'm not a little kid, and for your information, I'm not t—" She stopped as another yawn escaped her lips. Chibodee only laughed.
"I rest my case," he managed to get out, before he too yawned. It was Allenby's turn to smirk.
"Hm…looks like it's time for a *little* boy's bed time, too." He merely grumbled and let out another one, this time really loud.
"I guess it's time for both of us to hit the sack," he responded sleepily. She nodded.
"Good idea," she mumbled in a yawn, and with that said, the two began to walk up to their room, not even realizing or remembering the bed issue.
