Elvengirl10: Well…this counts as the first Gundam Seed fic I've actually posted. I've had millions of ideas, but never any time to develop them. Originally, this was supposed to be one big one-shot, but the ideas never seemed to flow, so I decided to cut it into shorts. Anyways, I hope you like them.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed or Gundam Seed Destiny (actually I do own Destiny…. just not the rights to it…the TV series)

Note: This combines the two series, but has very little relevance, if any,to the actual plot of the existing series.


Mayhem Under the Mistletoe.

"This presents an area of hazard," Rau commented.

"What do you mean?" asked Andrew; looking up from the book he was reading. Rau said nothing, but merely pointed over to the double doors where Athrun unknowingly stood unknowingly under some mistletoe. Andrew, now understanding Rau's point, nodded.

"Let the chaos begin," he said, indicating Cagalli.

"Athrun!"

"Oh, hey Cagalli." Athrun smiled. Cagalli ran up to him, "Almost ready for tomorrow?"

"Yeah. I finally finished wrapping everyone's presents, including yours."

"Oh yeah…yours is ready to," Athrun blushed, mentally kicking himself. He knew he'd forgotten something. Cagalli smiled.

"Athrun, do you know what you're standing under?"

Athrun blinked and looked up, finally noticing the mistletoe. He looked back down at Cagalli and smiled. Cagalli leaned closer and closed her eyes. Athrun leant down. Their lips were about to touch.

"Athrun."

"Wha?…oh…hi Meer"

Indeed, Meer Campbell had latched firmly onto Athrun's neck. She smiled sardonically at Cagalli, who glared back at her. Athrun gulped. He was not in a good spot.

"What are you doing here?" Cagalli spat.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"You aren't Lacus!"

"So?"

"Now, now, you two…this really isn't the time. It's almost Christmas." Athrun laughed nervously, trying to avert the impending disaster.

"Athrun!" came a chorus of voices, belonging to that of Lunamaria and Meyrin Hawk. Athrun sighed.

"Now's he's got a problem," said Andrew.

"Indeed," Rau agreed, "And he's trapped to."

"No way out of this one. Not without a few scars at least."

"Athrun, will you help me wrap Christmas presents?" asked Meyrin, latching onto Athrun's arm.

"No, you'll help me, won't you Athrun?" Lunamaria had clung onto his other arm. Athrun felt like a teddy bear being fought over by two toddlers.

"He's coming with me!" Meer insisted.

"No, with me!" Cagalli announced.

"At this rate, Athrun won't be around much longer," Rau, muttered. Andrew nodded and was about to speak when a gunshot rang through the air, removing the mistletoe. The fighting stopped. Andrew and Rau looked at each other. Athrun gave a sigh of relief and looked to find his savior. All he saw was the retreating figure of someone dressed as a reindeer.

"Thank you!" he yelled to the reindeer and bolted down the other hallway, the girls in hot pursuit.

"I suppose that's one way to get out of that mess."

"Yeah, but who d'you suppose that reindeer was?" Andrew winced as another gunshot rang out through the building.

"No idea."

Elvengirl10: Just who is the mistletoe-sniping reindeer? That shall be revealed in a future chapter. As for next time, based off an Azumanga Daioh classic: Reindeer. Fact or Fiction.

For those of you who might know the identity of the reindeer (you know who you are) don't spoil it for the others

A lot can happen between now and News Years. Have a good holiday everyone!
