When Chibodee Met Allenby

Chapter Eighteen

After everybody had calmed down from laughing and Chibodee had stopped whining about his new nickname, it was suggested that should all play a game. Sai Saici jokingly made the offer to play frisbee with the "doggy", but was quick to change his mind when the said "canine" almost lunged at him, being only held back by Allenby.

"Just chill!" she exclaimed, still having a tight hold onto the back of his long demin jacket.

"Calm down?!" he demanded. "Calm down? It's your fault all of this started! You're the one that starting calling me that!"

"Me?! It's not my fault!" she snapped back, which only fueled the argument.

"Monsieur!…Mademoiselle!…I—" George tried but to no avail. Finally, Natasha lost her patience.

"SILENCE!!!" Natasha bellowed, and the two stopped immediately, staring at the Neo-Russian warden in a mixture of shock and fear.

"Thank you Mademoiselle Natasha," George replied. "Now, how about a round of fencing?" he suggested, throwing out an idea to them, and no one seemed to have a problem with it so they left for the gym.

The Shuffle Alliance and Allenby suited up and received their training rapiers. Rain and the rest of their crews had decided to sit this one out and instead opt to watch them spar; Natasha replied that it would be good to see how much stronger Argo had gotten since before the trip. Though Allenby had wanted to duel against Domon, he paired himself up with George, telling her that he promised a duel later. Somehow Sai Saici had talked Argo into actually willingly participate in this with him, leaving once again Allenby and Chibodee with themselves.

"Why am I always stuck with you?" she groaned in frustration. Chibodee smirked.

"Because you're just that lucky," he replied smugly.

"More like unlucky…" she mumbled. Her green eyes shot up in surprise though as she saw the cocky Neo-American get down into a perfect stance. "You know how to fence?" she asked.

"Sure I do!" he answered. "…I saw enough movies with knights."

Allenby sweatdropped at this and sighed. It figured. Then, she reluctantly got into a stance. "Well, prepare to lose then," she said with a smirk.

He laughed, making her twitch in annoyance. "Why? Have you been training or something?"

"As a matter of fact, yes I have!" she declared angrily. "I practiced fencing for seven years!"

"Oh, really?" he responded, raising a brow in surprise.

"Yes!" she snapped. She remembered all those years she did practice. As part of her training as a Gundam fighter, she practiced handling different weapons, seeing which one they would have to add with the Gundam. However, she wasn't too great with a sword, but she was a pro in handling the whip, so they decided to equip the Nobel Gundam with one.

However, Chibodee somehow didn't seem too impress. He merely smirked, keeping his stance. "Well, it's your move, Toots."

She twitched. "'Toots'?! I'll show you Toots!" Without warning, she charged at him, but Chibodee managed to dodge it at the last second, stepping over to the right. She spun around and glared at him venomously while he just laughed.

"Not too bad for a broad!"

"Why you…sexist pig!!"

"OK, that does it!"

With the new snaps exchanged, they began sparring quite passionately, both of them doing surprisingly well. However, it was clear that Allenby was the better of the two; while she parried Chibodee's attacks, he ended up getting hit by most of hers. Their match wasn't as friendly though; the entire time, they were still barking insults at one another. And they weren't exactly being quiet about it either. Soon the others stopped their duels to watch Allenby and Chibodee's. Allenby finally slapped Chibodee's wrist, and on reflex, he dropped his rapier. The Neo-American, however, was not ready to give up yet; Chibodee lunged at her, and after a few moments of struggle, he wrenched the rapier away from Allenby's hands and threw it aside. It now became a all out melee, but due to his brute strength, he eventually overpowered her and knocked her to the ground. He smirked as he stood, looking down at her glaring eyes.

"So, how was that?" he asked, enjoying the opportunity to tease her.

She glared up at him, gritting her teeth. "You want the truth?" she inquired, and he nodded. Suddenly, a smirk appeared on her face. "Okay," she replied, and before Chibodee could do anything beside blink in confusion, she did a swiping kick with her right leg that connected with Chibodee's ankle and sent him falling on his arse. "It was average," she answered and sat up before slowly walking off.

Chibodee laid there on the floor and sighed heavily as he shut his eyes. "This is going to be a long trip…" he grumbled, rubbing his forehead.

Off to the side, Sai Saici laughed at the scene. "Allenby Beardsley: two… 'Doggy': …zero," he joked to himself.
