Altitude, good. Sheilds, online. Weaponry, good. Emer- Cagalli!

"Athrun? Athrun?" his onboard communicator buzzed, "Remember that night we, er... spent together a few weeks back? Well, I'm, uh-"

I know Cagalli, thought Athrun after he flicked a switch and turned off the speaker.

All of a sudden his wrist communicator beeped into life. "Athrun you bastard!" shouted Kira, "My sister, you.. you... MY SISTER!"

"Look, I took her out for a drink for her birthday and.. well, we were... she started it!"

"You BASTARD! I don't care what you did for her birthday! I care about what you're going to do NOW that MY SISTER is pre-"

Athrun turned that off too. He had to get away. What would his father think? WHO CARED WHAT HIS FATHER WOULD THINK! He just had to leave.

It was an accident. It was just one, or two... or, maybe five or six drinks... What have I done! I should be there for her, and for my... my child, he thought.

He stopped his gundam and turned around. He flipped on his wrist communicator and before Kira could yell again he said, "You're right Kira, I made a mistake, but I'm not going to make another one... I'm coming home."

Kira gasped, he was shocked! He took a few breaths then said, "That's great!" He turned around and hugged Cagalli who was now in tears of joy.

All of a sudden Lacus walked in. When she saw Kira hugging Cagalli she just stopped and stared. Kira turned to the open door and saw his high-spirited girlfriend with a look of shock and rage on her face. He walked towards her smiling, about to hug her but she slapped him in the face and stormed off.

"Lacus? Lacus, what's wrong?" he shouted, running after her. By the time he reached her she was crying on Shinn's shoulder and he was warmly embracing her, a slight smirk on his face. "You should have... seen them!" she said through tears, "They were... hugging each other and I could... I could tell there was something..." she started to cry again and Shinn gently whispered comforting words to her.

"Lacus, you thought... you thought there was something between me and Cagalli? She's my sister and she's no where as pretty or nice as you! Besides... she and Athrun are getting... pretty serious..."

"What do you mean?" she asked, facing him.

"Well, they err... slept together..." he mumbled the last two words. He looked up from his feet to see Lacus looking even more shocked than before.

"Where is Athrun? Shouldn't hebe with Cagalli?"

"That's what I told him. He's coming right now..." At this, Lacus ran to the docking area to wait for him. As soon as he jumped out of his Gundam, she slapped him across the face. She then grabbed his hand and pulled him to Cagalli's room. When she saw her she gave her a great hug and told her how sorry she was. Cagalli just shook her off, mumbled a word of thanks and walked away with Athrun.

"What?" said Lacus dumb-founded. "What was that all about...?"

Kira just put his right arm around her and swatted at a stupid Haro with his left.
