Cagalli sat in the room, staring at her reflection in the mirror as Lacus did the finishing touches to her hair. "Oh my," Lacus marveled at the beauty in front of her as she stepped back to admire her work on the amber princess. Wearing a strapless white gown decorated with lace and sparkling sequins, Cagalli looked more beautiful than she had ever been. Hanging around her neck was a pure, white jewel necklace, and her hair was curling softly to her shoulders. "Hey, I'll go check on the groom first. Rest a while, ok?" Lacus slipped out of the room quietly, leaving Cagalli to stare of into space.
"This is it. I'm getting married." Cagalli thought, smiling to herself. Imagining herself up at the altar, memories of HIM began to flood her mind. She had always wanted to marry him. He had always been her only one. But all that had changed…
FLASHBACK
Cagalli entered Athrun's apartment quietly, giggling to herself. The clinkling of glasses in her bag reminded her of her task. It was her birthday, and she wanted to spend a special day with her beloved Athrun. She was going to start with a romantic breakfast, then watch cheesy movies, walk in the park… She had it all planned. Having prepared her meal and set up the table, she crept towards her boyfriend's room to wake him, only to see a shocking sight. Her Athrun, no doubt about it judging from his striking blue hair, was sleeping int eh same bed with another woman. Meer Cambell, no less! Worst of all, they were both naked! Cagalli's heart wrenched in pain and she let out a strangled cry. Athrun sat up, and was shocked to see Cagalli standing tearfully at his door. Glancing down guiltily at Meer, he looked back towards her painful gaze, only to see her gone in a flash of golden-blonde. Cursing and hitting himself, Athrun got up and tried to give chase, but by the time he made it to the door, she was gone. Groaning and walking back to his kitchen, he noticed the well set-up table and suddenly he remembered that it was her birthday! Guilt hit him hard as he slumped down dazedly at the counter and tried to control his emotions.
Cagalli just ran, as fast as she could, away from his house. Tears streamed down her face. How could he? Images of him and Meer kept appearing in her mind, flashing in and out. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake them off. All she could do was run blindly…
END OF FLASHBACK
"It was my birthday…" Cagalli mumbled. "Time to go!" Lacus smiled cheerfully. Snapping back to reality, Cagalli quickly wiped away the tears she had unconsciously dropped, but it didn't escape Lacus' eyes.
"Thinking about him? Don't worry, he understands." Her eyes softened.
Cagalli smiled slightly. You have Kira, you wouldn't understand. Drying her eyes, she refreshened herself and stood up as Lacus lowered the veil. "I'm ready,
