For Love Or For Money

Disclaim: I do not own Gundam Seed, and the show, "For Love of For Money." which is actually a real reality show...kinda cheesy

Characters: Athrun 21, Kira 21...other guys are 21 also, mainly all from Gundam Seed.

Girls: Lunamaria, Cagalli, Fllay, Miriallia, Lacus, Gabriella apparently made up.. and Louise made up also. All of which are 21, if you were asking.

Summary: Athrun Zala is chosen for the #1 hit reality show in the PLANTS, "For Love or For Money." Will he find true love in this cheesy show? Or end up losing and going home empty handed?

--Send it---

"Aw, come on Athrun," sighed his best friend, Kira. "You just have to enter for this show, every guy will be entering...it'll be fun!"

"I don't believe in reality tv." muttered Athrun, who was sitting on the couch watching the news.

"Man, you're just plain boring..." Kira couldn't find the right words to say, he just wanted Athrun to have a good time. They were going to college together, and were dorm buddies.

Kira was a tall and handsome..or should I say HOT!-- erm that's for my friend. 21 yr. old guy. Messy brunette hair aroused his head and violet shades of colour filled his iris. He was naive and cheerful and blushed everytime he saw a really pretty girl. Athrun on the other hand was always serious, yet gentle. He had a soft heart, and was admired by many girls in the school. Athrun had long shaggy..not to mention shiny-- blue hair, emerald eyes, a strong build and a lean figure. He and Kira played in many sports and were named "Jocks of the year."

Kira was still begging Athrun to put his name in the draw.

"Come on Athrun, its not like your name will be chosen, lots of guys are entering, our chances are one in a million."

Athrun laughed, "ok, but I'm only doing this to stop your whining."

Kira smiled and grabbed a bag of chips on the counter, "I knew you'd have a change of heart."

Together they went out of the dorm and slipped their entry requests in the box. Other guys were putting theirs in too.

"Wow," sighed Athrun, "I never knew guys were so desperate."

Kira chuckled, "who knows, maybe you might be the lucky bachelor." Athrun managed to give his friend a weak smile and thought...

Maybe,

--5 weeks later---

It was a Saturday, and Athrun woke up from the smell of simmering bacon in the air. The light from the window caressed Athrun's face as he put his fingers through his hair.

"Wake up!" yelled Kira from the kitchen. Athrun got up and put on a pair of pants, I wonder what the commotion is...

Athrun went in the sitting room and sat down next to Kira, who had his eyes glued onto the screen.

"What's up Kira?"

"Oh, the news people are drawing the name for the bachelor." Athrun suddenly had a slight bit of interest in him. Kira put up the volume...it was already to the highest limit but he continued to push the button. Athrun covered his ears and grabbed the remote from Kira's hands. "Nervous?"

Kira nodded and continued to watch, a news reporter started to speak.

"Good Morning people!"

"Today we will be drawing the name of the person who will be the bachelor in "For Love Or For Money!"

"yay!" screamed Kira childishly. Athrun looked at him dumbfounded --He sure seems excited...

But before we do that, lets show the lucky women this lucky person will get to meet. --oh brother..--thought Athrun.

Lady number 1! She walked in the studio with her head up, she had a beautiful face and nice curves. " Lunamaria!"

Lady number 2! This girl had blonde shaggy hair and amber chocolate eyes. Kira snapped out of his hypnosis position and said,

"Hey thats!"

The news reporter continued, "Cagalli Yula Attha!"

"thats my sister!" finished Kira.

"How'd she get in there!" cried Athrun. Kira shrugged his shoulders and sighed. The news reporter continued, Cagalli was followed by Fllay, Miriallia, Lacus, Gabriella and Louise.

"Damn! The bachelor is so lucky." screamed Kira. Athrun yawned and let out a breath.

"You mean foolish, I mean this is just a stupid reality show."

The reporter took out the ballot for the bachelor. "Drumrolll please!"

Kira slapped his thighs and hooted. Athun just stood there and kept his eyes on the screan. Note to self, get Kira to a doctor...

"And the bachelor is..."

"Kira Yamato!" Kira yelled his own name out. The reporter opened the ballot and slightly grinned..

"Lucky Athrun Zala!"

Balloons fell in the background and reporters danced around. The girls were screaming, "Athrun woot woot, ATHRUN ZALA!" except for the blonde haired girl who sat in the corner.

Kira's jaw dropped until it touched the ground...It practically ripped off...in his immagination.

"ATHRUN! YOU WON!" Kira danced around, he dragged Athrun around in circles while Athrun growled.

"Aww, come on Athrun, you won...be happy!" Kira had a huge grin on his face, Athrun just sighed and slouched deeper into the couch.

He pointed to the screen, "See that girl, in the blonde?"

Kira nodded, "that's my sis.."

"I bet she's thinking the same as me... It's just a stupid reality tv show.."

Kira's smile turned into a laugh, he grabbed Athrun's shoulder and took him to the kitchen table.

"LETS EAT!"

"Great, I'm starving," mumbled Athrun.

I thought our chances were one in a million... what did I get myself into?

In the Plants studio, there was a lot of commotion. The girls were talking about the new bachelor.

"I bet he's cute!" yelled Lunamaria.

"Ya!" cried Fllay, "I'm gonna be his woman!"

"His woman?" snorted Gabriellia.

"Whatever," sighed Cagalli, "its just a stupid reality show..." She slouched deeper into her seat..

What have I gotten myself into?
