A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry this it's been such a long break! Truth be told, this was the hardest chapter for me to write…and it's not even three pages long. For those who don't know Chib and I broke up, and well…I kinda saw this fic as ours. Mine and his. I mean, this fic is the reason him and I meant, and he had spent a lot of time helping me work on it, so it was very hard to look at it again. However, I think I have conquered that now, as I have finished writing this fic, and hopefully, it won't take me as long to update again! Sadly, since I am short on time (it is past 11:30 PM here), I will not be able to do any comments on the reviews, but I will the next chapter. For anyone interested, I have created a fic schedule which will help me hopefully to update faster: http/ There's the site. On a special note, this chappie is dedicated to the author Alimoe, as she has just graduated, and this is my gift to her! Congrats!

Review at the end please!

When Chibodee Met Allenby

Chapter Nineteen

It had been a little over a week in Neo-France, and the Shuffle Alliance had decided that they had spent enough time as George's guests. Mainly they felt that way, because they didn't want to be a burden to George and had other matters to attend to.

As Allenby finished packing, a soft sigh left her lips. She was both relieved and yet…sad it had all come to an end. While there were some…difficulties to staying here, not that she would mention any names, but it was still all fun, and to leave that was hard. Especially since she knew what had awaited her once she returned to Neo-Sweden. Oh well. At least Hans would be there to pick her up.

"That's it!" a voice next to her chimed, snapping her out of her train-of-thought, and she looked to see the Neo-American dusting his hands off after finally managing to close his suitcase, which looked as though it was ready to burst open. Allenby bit back a laugh as she zipped up her duffel bag.

"Did you pack everything into that suitcase?" she asked, her voice teasing. Chibodee scoffed.

"Yes, I did!" he nearly snapped. "I don't see how you women can lug around five bags and suitcases and whine about not having everything!" he declared, folding his arms across his chest, turning his face over to the side, his eyes shut.

Allenby's green eyes were wide with confusion. "Um…Chibodee?…" she responded, and the Neo-American opened his eyes and followed her finger….which was pointing to her two bags on her half of the bed.

"Oh," was all he could say. It was then that Allenby started laughing, and Chibodee smirked, stuffing his hands into his pockets, chuckling. "My apologies then, kid."

"I'm not a kid!" she corrected him, weakly punching his arm. However, Chibodee kept laughing.

"Well, I guess this is it then," he replied after his laughing fit had died down, looking down at the floor.

She nodded slightly. "Yeah, it's time," she agreed. She looked at him and smiled. "I had fun, Chibodee."

He brought his eyes away from the floor and looked into her eyes and smirked. "I did too," he replied. "Well, if you're ever in America…look me up, okay?"

Her smile grew, and she nodded. "You bet!" she chimed. "And the same goes to you if you're ever in Neo-Sweden!"

A small smile formed on his face as he looked at her, and he nearly chuckled before answering. "Will do," he promised. "Take care, Allenby." With that said, he turned from her and grabbed his suitcase.

"You too," she said to his back, and he turned, looking at her curiously for a split-second before smirking. She smiled faintly back, and he nodded and turned to leave the room, closing the door behind him.

Allenby looked down and rubbed her right arm. How weird… Now that he was gone…she felt lonely. She shook her head and zipped up her duffel bag, letting out a deep sigh now that she was ready to go.

Chibodee leaned back against the door for a moment, frowning. How weird… Now that he had left the room, he felt like he was missing something. He shook his head and sighed before walking down the hall to his girls' room and rapped loudly upon the door.

"Hey!" he yelled. "Let's get this show on the road!" After a couple of minutes, the girls came out, their luggage in their hands, and with much chattering and bickering, the Neo-American team left.

Allenby stepped off the spaceship and walked out into the spaceport, her green eyes looking left and right until she found Hans waving her over. She forced a smile on her face and jogged over to him. Quickly and almost silently, they put her things into his sliver SUV, and they began their trip back to the base.

"So…" Hans began, deciding to break the awkward silence that had formed between them. "Did you have a good time?"

She paused for a moment as she looked out the window, thinking back over the trip, frowning slightly as she watched the rain pour down from the gray sky. Finally, she looked over at him, the faintest traces of a smile on her face, and she nodded. "Yes, I did," she answered.
