intro

A/N: Ok so this story takes place between the final battle in gundam seed and when destiny starts and then it will continue after destiny. The main couple is Miriallia and Dearka, but there are hints of other couples such as LxK, AxC & YxS. It takes a while for the story to really start off. The Characters may seem a little OOC but for the most part I'll try to keep them the same. The story starts out with short chapters but they will get longer as they go along. The prologue -peace is the worst written chapter, they get better as they go along. I was having trouble starting the story to be honest.

P.S.

All Miriallia's Thoughts will be in italic and All Dearka's thoughts will be underlined + Italic.

Prologue - Peace

"Where's Kira?" the captain quietly asked herself. No one knew what to do, what to say.The whole ship was in shock. The battles between naturals and coordinators had finally come to an end. A cease fire was announced, however all the crew of the archangel could think about was the bight light that had ended the battle. The war was over, but should they celebrate? The commander was dead and now the one person who had gotten the threw all the battles since Heliopolis was missing.

Minutes went by and the captain learned of what was to happen to the crew of her ship and the others but still no sign of the missing Freedom pilot. Suddenly there was a beep that went off in Miriallia's ear. "Hmmm…..What?" The CIC quickly looked at her screen then turned to the captain "Captain we just received a message from the strike rouge"

Everyone quickly turned to look at her questioningly "What does it said?" asked Captain Murrue.

"It says 'Kira is alive, although he is hurt. The pilot of the Justice; Athrun, is also alive. We will be returning to the Archangel immediately'" As Mir finished reading the message from Cagalli the Strike Rouge came into view. Kira you really made it, you protected us all.

"Open the hatch, have the medics met the Strike Rouge in the hanger." The crew quickly complied. After her orders were carried out Murrue stood up and turned to bow to them all. Everyone gasped in surprise. Tears were beginning to form in her eyes as she spoke to her crew "Thank you all of you for staying this long….we made it… though some didn't….We are the survivors of this war and it is up to us to rebuild what those lost fought to protect. But for now please everyone rest, you all fought hard today" Murrue began to walk towards the door of the bridge but stopped in front of the CIC chair "…. Sai, Miriallia, I want you both to remove that uniform"

"Huh? What?" They both questioned

"You are no longer EA soldiers, so there is no point in wearing the uniform. You two should have never been apart of this war…I'm sorry"

Were no longer soldiers…we can go home

She then turned her gaze to the lone ZAFT pilot. "Thank you to you too, you helped protect us and I am in you dept"

"…." Dearka chose not to say anything but simply nodded in response.

"I've been in formed that a ZAFT carrier is on it was here it will take all those wish to return to PLANT with it when it leaves. It will be her in less the 15 minutes, it the mean time go get some rest"

"Thank you" was all he said as he left the bridge in search of some much need sleep. The Plants? Can I really go back?

Murrue turned back to the other two with a small grin "You two off the bridge, only soldiers are aloud here" After giving the a light shove they were on their way out.

"Wow Dearka must have really wanted some rest, I don't see him anywhere" exclaimed Sai after the doors from the bridge closed. The two began walking down the hall together.

"Who cares" replied Miriallia as she looked down at her feet as she walked.

"huh?...ummm…It great that were no longer part of the military isn't it"

"I guess"

"Huh? Ah….Mir? Are…are you okay?"

"Wh-what do-o y-you m-mean" she laugh nervously

"You've been kind of out it since we left the bridge"

"I-I-I'm j-just worried about Kira, KIRA yes that's it! I Miriallia Haww am worried about Kira"

"Are you sure your not think of someone else?" Sai asked raising an eyebrow

Mir quickly wiped around and began walking backwards. "What are you suggesting Argile??" Sai's face suddenly went white as a ghost "What's wrong?"

"…." He didn't answer only pointed. Mir turned around only to see Kira on a stretcher being wheeled into the infirmary followed by a teary eyed Cagalli and Athrun.

"What Happened!?" Miriallia Screamed as she ran to them as quickly as her feet could carry her.

"Everything is fine he just needs rest" Athrun explained as he and Cagalli entered the room, the door closing behind them.

Miriallia leaned against the wall and began to cry, to cry for Tolle, the commander, Fllay and even Kira. The war had taken so many and she was starting to get worn down from the losses. Sai placed his hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear "Mir…..I'm going to go get changed… we can check on Kira when I get back OK."

"…" She simply nodded in agreement allowing him to walk away from her like so many others had before in this war. All a sudden she felt another hand on her shoulder. When she looked up it was no other then Dearka Elsman, the Buster's pilot.

"It will be ok"

"How would you know?"

"It's not as bad ad you think it is"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW??" She screamed

"…..well I…"

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP AND GO THE HELL BACK TO THE PLANTS YOU SCUM BAG!" Miriallia gasped after realising what she had just said. Hurt was written all over Dearka's face. She hates me…she really hates me

"….is it a crime to worry?" he whispered quietly to himself before running off.

Miriallia didn't watch as he ran away she knew that if she turned around she would be watching him run out of her life. With the ZAFT shuttle arriving in less then 5 minutes, she managed to have a horrible hello and good by with the blonde solider.
