Author's notes: After resolving some problems at home, I've decided to re-write this story, and hopefully continue updating it, also I've shortened the main cast of students and decided to have the remaining four students gradually come into the story later on. Enjoy!
"Welcome to Destiny Academy, where today's youth are turned into tomorrow's leaders."
Destiny Academy; a newly built school, dedicated to raising children who showed an uncanny ability for piloting mobile suits, or excelled in leadership. Only the best of the best, and richest were accepted into the school... And to one Kira Yamato's surprise both he and his best friend had been accepted into the junior pilot program. As boy looked out the window, his right hand wrapped firmly around a glass bottle of juice, he let a sigh, and then a louder gasp as he felt something crash into the shoulder, making him drop the glass bottle on the car's floor.
"Athrun" Kira shoved the blue haired boy to his side of the seat, trying to lose himself in the backdrop's majesty.
"You took my drink, I just want it back…" Athrun reached back over to get the bottle of juice; Kira always had a way of making him seem like the bad guy, when it was usually Kira who would start conflicts in the first place. He took a long sip from the cool glass bottle the Orange juice giving him a burst of refreshment.
A young looking woman turned from the driver's seat to face the two boys, a stern look on her brow. "If you two don't stop fighting I'm shipping you off to boarding school!" a grin quickly grew across her serious face, as she turned back to face the road.
You are shipping us off to boarding school, mom." All three of them laughed as they pulled up into the school's main driveway, the car pulling up to the massive building's front door; it was highly detailed, and constructed of fine Oak. As the car pulled to a full stop, the woman turned around once more, pressing a button to release the trunk. "Well, we're here. You two be good, and study hard."
"Thanks for the ride, Mrs. Yamato; I'll be sure to look after Kira for you." Exclaimed Athurn, giving his friend a sly grin.
"Bye Mom." Was all Kira said as he rolled his eyes at Athrun,he gave his mom a final kiss on the check and ran to the back of the car to retrieve his bags.
Minutes later, the two boys waved goodbye as the vehicle drove off, leaving the two in front of the stone staircase.; each of the boys took two duffel bags in each hand, and began to march up the steps, as they reached the main door Kira pushed it open with his shoulder. As they stepped into the school's foyer, the two were greeted by a young woman dressed in a mini-skirt and blouse, with a smile she spoke to both of them.
"Welcome to Destiny Academy, if you'll please take one of these tags for each of your bags and place them over in the corner, you'll be free to talk amongst the other children, until the welcoming assembly commences."
The boys took four tags from a large box and scribbled their names onto each one strapping the tags around the handles, they tossed the luggage into the massive pile and then looked at each other. kira's face turned into an angry stare as he saw his best friend's face covered in powdered sugar, his mouth chewing what appeared to be a jelly donut, in his hands an open box with more donuts was held tightly.
"You had donuts and didn't tell me? I've been starving the whole trip!" Kira's arms sprung outward as he tried to grab onto the box, but Athrun was too quick for him, he jumped back, swallowing the donut and spoke.
"They're mine! You already stole my drink, you aren't getting these too!" He said, laughing the entire time.
"Share them you pi-" Kira's sentence was cut in half as he saw her; a young woman his age with flowing pink hair that passed her waist; if "love at first sight" existed, this must have been it he though. Athrun stuck his hand out, offring his friend one of the donuts, only to be ignored.
"Who're you looking at?" His head turned to where Kira was pointing, and he frowned as he saw the girl. "I guess you won't be having any donuts..."
Meanwhile, a group consisting of a young blonde girl named Cagali, a pink haired girl named Lacus of t he same age and a well dressed older man, stood in the middle of the foyer, the older man being the first to speak in a while.
"If that's everything, I'll be off. Good luck to the both of you." He turned and walked away, returning to the bright pink limousine parked in the front of the school.
"You didn't have to get your driver to bring us in, Lacus... Now then, I wonder when that assembly is going to be held." Her hands were pressed against her hips as she spoke to her friend; they had known each other for a year now, and while both of them didn't have the right skills to get in the school, they had more than enough money to buy their way in.
"I suppose they'll tell us over the intercom, Cagali... Why don't we go and try to find some new friends?" The girl had begun walk away, leaving her blonde friend to run after her.
"Shinn Asuka? Is that you?" A sixteen year old boy with long blonde hair ran up to a boy his age, with short blue hair and dark red eyes. "It is you... what are you doing here?"
"Za Burrel? Heh, what a coincidence I'd meet you here." Exclaimed Shinn, throwing a few mock punches at his friend. "I'm enrolled in the piloting program... I'm guessing you are to?"
"Nah... I was chosen for the commanders's program. I'd rather sit in a chair than pilot a mobile suit anyway." He said, jokingly. Wrapping his arm around Shinn's neck, he spoke. "Well... Since I don't really know anyone here, wanna be roommates? I brought a TV along..." Shinn broke free from his friend's grasp and turned to face him; "You always were direct. And, it better be flatscreen!" The two boys had meet at a summer camp two years ago, and had kept in touch via e-mail; it was quite a shock to the both that the other was here, but at least now they knew someone.
"Hey! Don't walk so fast Luna, I don't want to spill my coffee!" Shouted a girl younger than the student body's average age, she picked up her pace to get beside her older sister, who almost seemed as if she was trying to get rid of her younger sibling.
"Meyrin, do you have to follow me everywhere? It's bad enough you got into the school two years than you should have." Lunamaria siad, as she continued walking at her accelerated pace. Luna tried to pretend as if she didn't know Meyrin, but when she turned to look at her, she gasped... Meyrin had disappeared.
"Meyrin? Meyrin!"
"I'm right here, sis." exclaimed the younger sister as she squeezed out of a group of boys that were flirting with her. "You said you didn't want me to follow you..."
"Never mind that, just come on." Why does she always get guys?
Lunamaria and Meyrin both came from a privileged family with a military background, and naturally, it was assumed they would continue the tradition; while Lunamaria worked very hard to get into the piloting program at Destiny Academy, her sister who seemed to have a natural gift for just about everything had gotten into the Commander's program effortlessly. While the two sisters love each other very much, Luna can get extremely jealous at times over her sister's natural talent.
"So then I says to him, I says...Dearka are you even listening?" A silver haired young man began looking around for his blonde haired friend, and let out a sigh as he found him leaning against a wall, conversing with a girl. "So... I was just thinking, maybe you and I could go out sometime?" Dearka leaned over into the girl's face, his eyes shining as he waited for a response. "With you? Never!" The girl kicked him and the shin and shuffled away. Dearka jumped back, holding clutching his shin as he yelp in pain."Wow, Dearka... You really do have a way with women." Quipped Yzak sarcastically. "Anyway, I want to get to the auditorium early, let's go!" Yzak tugged on Dearka as he tried to get him to move. "No! I need to scope out the ladies first, you know what I'm talking about, right? Right?" "Whatever Dearka. I'm going to find the auditorium." Yzak let go of Dearka and began to walk down the long hall. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" So many cute girls... This is going to be great! Though Dearka as he chased after his uptight friend.
Miriallia trudged down an empty hallway; she had been wandering for a good half an hour, and finally declared herself lost. The building was very large and had a bevy of confusing hallways that didn't seem to go anywhere important. Her steps reverberated around her, the clicking of her shoes the only noise around. She breathed a sigh of relief as a second pair of shoes could be heard in the distance; she ran toward the noise, and found a girl around her age with short blonde hair, she reached back to tap the girl's shoulder and spoke."Are you lost too?" she asked, hoping that the girl knew where she was going.
"No. I just like to be alone when it gets too noisy."
"Are you being sarcastic?" Asked Miriallia, unsure weather the girl was just messing around or crazy.
"No." Replied the blonde, her expression remaining blank.
"Well.. Can you show me to the foyer? I'm Miriallia, by the way."
"Stellar Loussier" Was all she said as she turned around, and began walking from where she came; Miriallia sighed and followed; at this rate, she didn't know if she would find any normal people. The two were interrupted by a booming voice that came seemingly from nowhere; it was the PA system.
"Students of Destiny Academy. The welcoming assembly will commence in five minutes; the Auditorium is located to the west of the main foyer, please proceed in an orderly fashion. After the assembly, your rooms and class first semester class schedules will be assigned to you. Have a good morning!"
