Hi, this is my first time doing something like this. If you read my story I hope you like it(:

Cagalli was currently sitting in the Parliament building staring at the members while tapping her fingers roughly on the the table, clearly irritated by what was being said.

"Miss Cagalli I feel that it's best that you don't go to the Plants for the celebration" one member said.

"I also agree to that Miss Cagalli, it's just not safe!" another said.

That was it, the last nerve Cagalli had snapped, she stood up so fast her chair fell to the floor, she slammed her fists down on the table and through clenched teeth said "what the hell do you mean not safe!" She was really pissed, she hasn't seen her brother and friends since they left for the final battle in space! She wanted to see them, no needed to see them again!

"Well it's just that everytime you go to space something bad happens" said Nate Lancaster the new Prime Minister of Orb.

Cagalli looked at him completely dumbfounded "wh ..what the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Nate shrugged his shoulders and raised his hand "Heliopolis, Jachin Due, Armory One, and Junius Seven Colony Drop."

Cagalli stepped back "It's not like I did any of that you ba" Nate interrupted her mid sentence "I know that, it's just that we feel you have bad luck in space is all that were saying."

The rest of the members felt that Nate could handle this situation on his own better so they excused themselves and left the room. Cagalli watched them leave and then turned her attention to the twenty year old Prime Minister, she had to admit he was handsome his wild light brown hair and peircing blue eyes, he was well built and tall but it was nothing compared to Athru- she shook her head she couldn't think about him right now. She then turned her attention back to Nate who was looking at her amused "Nate, none of that had to do with my luck you know?"

Nate laughed and stood up and walked over to Cagalli and looked her straight in the eyes "I know that, I was just kinda hoping you would go along with it, the real reason is the threats on your life Representitive."

Cagalli leaned down and fixed her chair so that she could once again sit down on it. She then layed her head on the table, she knew she was most likely going to lose this arguement and the worst part was she doesn't even know how to explain herself to Kira, Lacus, and most of all Athrun if she isn't able to attend the celebration. "I figured as much, but I really want to go, and wouldn't it look bad if the Princess of Orb didn't show up?"

Nate smiled slightly at the fact that she actually admitted to being a Princess for once, he then leaned down so that Cagalli and him were face to face "Yes I suppose that it would be bad, so I guess I have no choice but to let you go." Cagalli raised her head smiling widely "thank you, although even if you stuck to saying 'no' I would have just snuck off!" she then winked. Nate laughed "but you have to have at least six body guards and" she cut him off. "Six body guards? Hell no, I can take care of myself thank you very much!" she crossed her arms and stuck her nose in the air. Nate sighed and stood up "it's six guards or you can just forget going and trust me you won't even be able to "sneak off" as you said." Cagalli turned her head to face him and she stood up as well "fine but it's a secret okay? I don't want my friends to worry." Nate smiled "of course and" he was interrupted again but by Col. Ledonir Kisaka this time.

"Cagalli I'm sorry to interrupt but I need to speak with you privately." Cagalli looked over to Kisaka who was standing at the door waiting for her answer "understood", she then turned to Nate "excuse me but I will be taking my leave now." Nate bowed "no problem, Princess." Cagalli turned to walk towards Kisaka all the while saying "don't call me Princess!" Nate laughed.

Cagalli was walking in step with Kisaka to her office they didn't say a word the whole way. Once they arrived she went and sat at her desk, "what's so important that we had to talk in private?" Kisaka sat across from her and looked her straight in the eye "are you planning to go to the end of the war celebration in Plants this weekend?" Cagalli sighed "not you too, and yes I am along with six body guards. Am I correct to assume you will be one?" Kisaka bowed his head "no I am unable to leave due to situations." Cagalli raised an eyebrow "what kind of situations?"

Kisaka stood up and looked down at her "work, obviously." Cagalli jumped up "I'll give you the clear so you can go you know? I'm sure you want to see everyone too!" Kisaka tilted his head a little to the left and smiled sadly, "Cagalli I saw them when the Archangel landed and before they all returned to the Plants to take their new positions." Cagalli bowed her head in shame "I see so it was only me that was to busy to congratulate them and give them a happy welcome back." Kisaka put a hand on her shoulder "they knew you were busy and understood that so don't be to upset about it, now I must go I have to go talk with some new military recruits. Since I most likely won't be seeing you again before you leave, I wanted to say, be safe, and have fun Cagalli, good bye." Cagalli looked at Kisaka's retreating form "good bye Kisaka, see you when I get back!" Although she couldn't see the troubled look on his face. She languidly sat back down and opened a desk drawer and pulled out a picture. It was a picture of Kira, Lacus, Athrun, and herself playing at the beach, she looked at it for a minute or so, and smiled sadly while putting it back into the drawer, while thinking 'I miss you all".

Captain Taber, a tall man with long grey hair tied in a pony tail and dark red eyes, was currently on his way to make sure that the final preparations for his plan were running smoothly. He entered the bridge on his ship "Eric how are things looking" a young man turned to Taber "Sir, everything is in order here and on earth as well!"

Taber sat in his chair an smiled wickedly "good, we need to make sure we catch the Princess of Orb but we can't kill her till we get the information that my boss needs, then by all means the little bitch can rot!"

Eric looked away then back to Taber "Sir, one of the pilots isn't in the briefing room." Taber stood up "which one!" Eric gulped a little "your son sir" that did it, Taber stood up and walked out of the bridge before anyone could speak another word.

Braeden a nineteen year old boy with untamed blonde/brown hair and dark red eyes was laying on his bed starring blankly at the ceiling thinking about the plan to kidnap the Orb Princess. He rolled to the side 'I wonder if she will remember me?' Just then the door slid open revealing a pissed off Taber "Braeden what the hell are you doing?"

Braeden yawned and sat up "what does it look like I'm doing?"

Taber stepped forward "it's looks like your being lazy!"

Braeden stood up and shrugged his shoulders "Captain, I am currently resting do to the fact that we are going to be very busy this weekend and we can't afford me to make a mistake due to being tired, corrrect?"

Taber rolled his eyes "your just like your mother!" Braeden looked at his Father right in the eye "I take that as a compliment, you know?"

Taber's features lightened a little bit and he let out a little laugh "I suppose you do, but Braeden you really should be in briefing we changed the plans a little bit."

Braeden tensed a little "why? The last plan we finally chose to do was flawless!"

Taber put a hand on his son's shoulder it's because someone sent the Princess threats, so now they are taking extra security for her safety." Braeden relaxed again "I see that really doesn't change anything though, it should still run quite smoothly" Taber didn't budge "that's true and we don't really have to worry all that much about being attacked by Zaft, because they won't fire at us once Cagalli is on board for the chance she could get hurt." Braeden looked up "why would the Plants worry about Cagalli getting hurt anyway?"

Taber shrugged his shoulders "because the new Chairwoman and Miss Attha are "friends", supposedly." Braeden glared at the floor and sighed in disgust "they are just using Cagalli! She's just to blind to see it, but it doesn't matter because this weekend I'm saving her from those filthy Coordinators!" Braeden started to walk towards the door and turned around to speak one last time to his Father before walking out "Father I'm going to the briefing room now, don't worry I will get Cagalli this weekend without any casualties on our side." Taber smiled and nodded to Braeden "good that's what I like to hear son" and with that said Braeden left the room.

Taber walked out the door soon after to make his way back to the bridge and laughed loudly 'Braeden your a damn fool!'

Meyrin Hawke was running a check on the satalites in space when she noticed an unknown ship, 'hmm that's odd, I should go inform Commander Joule'. She clicked print and stood up to retreive the pictures, she quickly was making her way out of the building when she ran into Shinn, literally.

"hey why don't you watch" Shinn started to say till he realized that it was "Meyrin?"

Meyrin was picking up her things ignoring the person till she heard her name she then looked up "Shinn? What are you doing here?"

Shinn was a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head "uhh well you see I am kind of on suspension right now."

Meyrin's eyes widened "suspension! why?" Shinn looked around and noticed some Zaft purple uniforms watching, he then sighed "look first let's get your stuff picked up and I will have to tell you about it later." Meyrin looked surprised "Shinn is everything all right?" Shinn stood up "I'll walk you to your car." Meyrin nodded "okay."

They were standing at Meyrin's car "Shinn what's going on?" Shinn leaned down "Meyrin something is going on, I heard some guys talking about Attha." Meyrin looked confused "what about Lady Cagalli?" Shinn rubbed his forehead in frustration "I'm not exactly sure, I just don't think it was good though." Meyrin got a little mad "SHINN!" Shinn stepped back "what?" Meyrin calmed a bit "look I know you don't like Lady Cagall" Shinn interrupted "I know that, but I'm telling the truth Meyrin, I know how I acted towards Attha, but that doesn't change the fact that something is wrong!" Shinn watched as Meyrin opened her car door and sat down inside "Okay Shinn I'm on my way to speak to Commander Joule, I'll let him in on the information you just told me." She went to shut the door but Shinn stopped her "take me with you!" Meyrin looked surprised "what, but weren't you about to go in" Shinn cut her off "I was going to see if I could get permission to go to the celebration this weekend so Luna won't kill me, but this is more important and Commander Elsman will give me permission if I beg." Meyrin laughed "Okay then come on Shinn we have to hurry." With that being said Shinn quickly jumped in and Meyrin sped off heading to the millitary building Commander Yzak Joule was currently at.

Andrew Waltfeld was reading the newspaper he reached down the grab his fresh cup of coffee and took a sip "perfect" Just as he was saying that the doorbell rang "awe who could that be" he stood up and walked to the door and opened it. "Well look at who it is" Andy smiled widely because in front of him was non other than Mr. and Mrs. Mwu La Flaga.

Murrue smiled "It's been quite some time Andy" Andy laughed "yeah why don't you two come in?"

Mwu laughed "awe don't mind if I do, you have any coffee? Andy laughed again "sure do! Just brewed some." Murrue followed the two men into the kitchen. "How have you been Andy?" Andrew was getting cups "I've been good, you know we just finished building the house for Reverend Malchio and the kids." Murrue and Mwu smiled "that's wonderful, I'm going to miss seeing them though." Mwu looked at Murrue and Andy "you know we could move here if you wanted." Murrue smiled "that would be nice but wouldn't Miss Cagalli be alone?" Mwu laughed "Nah that Zaft kid will be more than enough company for her."

Murrue chuckled. Andrew looked thoughtful "that's if he ever gets back to orb" Mwu looked over at him "what? You mean he is still here?" Andrew nodded "yeah I saw him the other day, my guess is he is going back after the celebration though." Murrue looked out the window "my I hope so especially since Kira and Lacus are no longer staying on Earth." Mwu perked up "So how big is this celebration going to be?" Andy smirked "It's going to be one hell of a night. Mwu took a sip of his coffee "good that's what I like to hear!" The three adults laughed and talked for hours not knowing that a storm was brewing.

Cagalli was boarding the shuttle, "Cagalli!" she turned around upon hearing her name to see Nate Lancaster running towards her. "Nate what are you doing?" Nate was catching his breath "Caga" he started coughing.

"Uhh Lady Cagalli, you need to get on the shuttle now, please" a flight attendant looked at her impatiently. Cagalli looked at her "I'm coming" she then turned to look at Nate impatienty "well hurry and spit it out." He looked up at Cagalli "I forgot to tell you that when you get to Plants you need to meet the new Admiral of Orb." Cagalli looked shocked "what! who is it?"

"Miss Cagalli get on the shuttle now or were leaving without you!" Cagalli turned to the flight attendant and glared "Okay I am coming geez!" She started walking in the shuttle raising a fist back at Nate "Nate I'm going to kill you when I get back if it is some old perverted jackass, mark my words!" Nate watched as the door shut behind her and smiled sadly and thought 'I think you will most likely be jumping for joy when you see who it is my lovely Princess' and he then walked off.

(this is an hour after where i left off with meyrin && shinn)

Shinn was looking out the window thinking until "so you still haven't told me why you were put on suspension?" Shinn looked over at Meyrin and shook his head and crossed his arms "well if you must know it's because I yelled at this old guy who turned out to be on the Supreme Council" Meyrin was really quiet then she busted out laughing. Shinn looked over at her "hey it's not funny! why does everyone I tell laugh?" Meyrin controlled herself "Well Shinn because that was just completely stupidddd! You really should watch your temper." Shinn was about to say something back until the car got slammed in the rear. "What the hell?" Shinn turned around and they were slammed again.

"ahhhh" Meyrin was screaming and trying to keep complete control of her car, while being slammed from behind over and over again. "Shinn what are they doing?" That's when they started shooting at Meyrin and Shinn.

Shinn sunk down in his seat to just barely miss a bullet. "Meyrin, can you go faster and do you have a gun?" Meyrin stepped harder on the gas "yeah in the glove box!" Shinn opened the glove box and loaded the gun and opened his window and started shooting back, he shot one of the passengers in the vehicle that was pursuing them. "Shinn why are they after us!" Shinn kept shooting and dodging bullets "I honestly don't know Meyrin!" Meyrin was driving like a maniac until a kid ran out in front of her car "shit! " She swerved to the left unfortunately that lead to the edge of a cliff. Shinn turned when he felt her swerving "Meyrin?" Meyrin was hitting the brake but it didn't stop them from going over the edge.

Meyrin panicked "ahhhhhhhhh, Shinn !" Shinn held on for dear life "Damnit!"

Ledonir Kisaka was standing on a cliff by the beach in Orb, looking towards the sky 'it's about to begin.'
