Miriallia

Miriallia walked into the cafeteria of the Archangel, a huge smile on her face. She took a seat beside Kira, Kuzzey, and Sai, who were having a heated discussion on whether coloured glasses looked good on people or whether they made them look like idiots.

"You'll never believe what happened to me," Miriallia said interrupting the two of them, much to Kira's relief. He was very tired of listening to Sai talk about how coloured glasses made him look cool, and a babe magnet. He had even mentioned his love life, much to Kira's dismay. Kira still felt relations between him and Sai were stressed, ever since Fllay had chosen Kira over Sai. But Sai had gone on to say he had completely put all that stuff behind him. In fact, he was grateful to Kira. He had told them his heart now belonged to a completely different woman. And although Kira was glad his friend seemed happy, he was also worried about how it would turn out if the girl didn't return his feelings. But Kira mentioned none of his fears to Sai, and simply encouraged him to express his feelings to the girl he loved and be confident.

"Aren't you going to ask me what happened?" Miriallia interrupted Kira's thoughts. Kira snapped to attention.

"Can't you just tell us?" Kuzzey whined.

"No. You have to ask," Miriallia insisted.

"Actually Miriallia, Sai wanted to talk to you about something pretty important," Kira said winking at Sai. "You guys should talk alone together."

"No, everyone has to be here, except Fllay. She's so annoying and I hate her, and – oh – Sai I'm sorry. I forgot you actually like Fllay," Miriallia said, looking embarrassed.

"Actually that's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. I don't love Fllay anymore, I love-," Sai began but was cut off by Miriallia.

"You don't like Fllay? Thank God, I was beginning to think there was something horribly wrong with you," Miriallia said smiling at him.

"Yes well now Sai likes someone else," Kuzzey said. Sai turned a bright red.

"You do? Who is it? What does she look like?" Miriallia asked, interested. She had thought Sai was still in love with Fllay, but it seemed he had gotten over her, and not a moment to soon. She couldn't wait to hear the news.

"Well she has brownish hair and really pretty blue eyes. Her name begins with an M. The person I like is-," Sai said trying to be confident. Fllay had rejected him, but now staring into his true loves eyes he felt hope.

"Well it's really not important," Miriallia interrupted. "My news is better." She had just seen Fllay walk into the cafeteria and wanted to get out her news before Fllay could hear, and go sit down with them. "Dearka asked me to marry him. And I said YES!" Miriallia said holding up her left hand, where a small diamond ring was wrapped around the ring finger.

"What?" Sai said, almost choking on his drink. Kuzzey began hitting him on the back.

"You're all invited. It's in a week's time. We want to get it done with while we're in Orb," Miriallia explained, gazing dreamily at her new ring. "You'll all come won't you? You can bring dates, and you can bring that girl you liked Sai."

"Of course. I'm so happy for you," Kira said, happy his friend had found happiness.

"I can't go," Sai stated quickly. He looked down at the table top in defeat. How had he not seen this coming? He was filled with rejection and anger. First he lost Flay, and now Miriallia. And who was he losing all these women too? Those damn coordinators!

"I heard from a reliable source that you're marrying Dearka," Fllay said suddenly sitting down beside them.

"What reliable source? I saw you crouching under that table eavesdropping on our conversation, moron," Miriallia said rolling her eyes.

"Well I've just come over to tell you I'm not going to your stupid wedding," Fllay announced, as if she were the queen of Orb.

"You were never even invited," Miriallia laughed. "I don't like you, and you tried to kill Dearka, so what gave you the slightest idea we'd even allow you to come."

"Well you said Kira could bring a date – so it's obvious he was going to ask me," Fllay said. "Right Kira?"

"How can you just assume that? Why does no one stop to think of how I feel? I don't love you, Fllay," Kira said, getting angry, with tears in his brown eyes. Fllay gasped, unable to believe what Kira had just said.

"What a horrible thing to say! All you coordinators deserve to be killed!" Fllay shouted flinging her food tray in the air.

"That's enough Fllay," Kira said standing up, and leaving the cafeteria. Fllay ignored him, turning to Sai.

"You love me, don't you Sai? You'll bring me to Miriallia's wedding, won't you?" Fllay asked. "You must have known, Kira wasn't the one I really wanted."

"I'm right here, you know," Kira said, in the doorway of the cafeteria.

"I'm not taking you Fllay. I'm not going to Miriallia's wedding anyway," he said, sadly.

"Oh well, we'll save you a piece of cake, okay Sai?" Miriallia said leaving the cafeteria.

At the wedding

Athrun stood at the entrance to the church, welcoming the guests inside. There weren't many people, only close friends and family. "Naturals on the right, coordinators on the left," he said handing out pamphlets of the ceremony. He shook hands with Dearka's parents and pointed them to the front row on the left side of the church. He watched as they said hello to Miriallia's parents. Luckily none of the parents seemed to mind that their child was marrying someone different. He wished his own father had been so understanding.

Athrun looked back to see Kira get out of a dark blue car with Lacus, his former fiancée. He watched as their hands joined, and felt a jolt in his heart. He looked away, suddenly aware his heart was pounding. It was weird, why was he feeling this way whenever he thought of Lacus and Kira? Especially since he had a girlfriend of his own. Is it possible I still have feelings for Lacus? Athrun wondered as the two approached him.

"Hello Athrun, good to see you," Lacus said smiling at him.

"Lacus go on ahead, I'm going to talk to Athrun for a bit," Kira said.

"Sure, I'll be waiting inside," Lacus said, giving a small wave before entering the church.

"What's on your mind, Kira?" Athrun asked, curiously.

"It's Lacus, and coming to this wedding. I don't know what's gotten into her. All of a sudden she wants to get married. I don't know what to say to her. Of course I want to get married one day, but I'm not sure if I'm ready right now. And there's still this war to consider," Kira said, honestly. He had strong feelings for Lacus, but he wasn't sure if he truly loved her and wanted to marry her. He felt the best thing to do was to talk to Athrun about it. Somehow when he was talking to Athrun he couldn't hide things, and things he didn't even know he felt came pouring out.

"Well maybe you should break up with her. If you don't think she is the one, I mean," Athrun said, trying to hide his happiness. If Kira decided to break up with Lacus, maybe he'd have a chance to get back together with her.

"Maybe you're right. But what about you and Cagalli? Are things going well?" Kira asked politely.

"I'm not sure, I guess they're okay," Athrun said, his face red with guilt. What would Kira do if he knew Athrun was preparing to dump his sister for his girlfriend? It would not be pretty. But Athrun was a person who followed his heart, even if it put him in serious danger with Kira.

"Oh my, where do I sit?" Lacus said to herself. She looked around for a free space, and finally took a seat beside an elderly gentleman.

"Hello there, my name is Lacus," she said. The old man stared at her.

"What did you say?" he asked.

"She said her name is Lacus," his wife beside him said. The old man nodded, but still didn't speak to her. "Such bright pink hair, it must be dyed," the woman whispered in a loud voice.

"Or she could be one of those coordinators," the man said, in a hateful voice. Many people turned to stare at her, some of their gazes full of anger and hatred. She bit her lip, feeling out of place. It was strange, why were all the people around her looking as if they hated coordinators when they were attending the wedding of a coordinator? Suddenly Athrun's words popped into her head, 'Coordinators on the left'. No wonder she was so out of place!

"Oh my," she said standing up. "This isn't the coordinator side." She hurriedly shuffled over to the left, avoiding the stares of the people she was sitting with. Luckily she saw Kira heading towards her. The two stood at the back of the church waiting for Athrun to finish before they found seats.

"There isn't a lot of people here, aren't there?" Lacus said. "For our wedding I hope we have ten times the amount." Kira gritted his teeth in frustration. There she goes again, talking about their wedding, as if it were a set thing. Kira didn't even ask her to get married yet! And he wasn't even sure he wanted to get married.

"There's a war, Lacus. Not all people have the time to come to a wedding," Kira said trying to keep his anger under control. Whenever Lacus asked about their wedding he had always tried to change the subject, but it was getting to be too much! One of these times he was just going to burst.

"Your right, when you called to invite me to go to this wedding I wasn't sure if I could come or not. Probably lots more people were invited, but many had duties to attend to and had to ask themselves if they could make it to this wedding. War makes that question very difficult," Lacus said.

"How are you affected by the war?" Kira said catching her first sentence and ignoring the rest. "You're not fighting like I am. You're not contributing at all," Kira said. Lacus looked shocked.

"I am so contributing! My singing is keeping people from fighting and protecting people," Lacus said.

"What the hell can you protect when singing is the only weapon you've got?" Kira shouted angrily. He began walking down the aisle. Lacus followed quickly. She took a seat as Kira stood in the aisle, staring at nothing.

"What are you doing Kira?" she asked, concerned at his behaviour. "Sit down, beside me."

"I can't do that," Kira said softly. "I can't sit on the coordinator side. Not when some of my friends are on the natural side, I'm declaring myself neutral," Kira said taking a seat in the middle of the aisle.

"Kira, stop being stupid. We're not at a battlefield, we're at a wedding," Lacus said, but Kira ignored her. "How's the bride supposed to walk by?"

"I'm not moving," Kira declared earnestly.

"If you don't sit down right now, I'll never speak to you again," Lacus informed him. She was starting to get embarrassed, after all the whole church was staring at them.

"You know what, that would be a blessing," he said.

"Kira, how could you say something like that? Does this mean we're breaking up?" Lacus said in shock.

"I suppose so," Kira said. "From now on there will be no woman in my life. I have to devote myself to ending this war."

"What will I do?" Lacus said, staring at the bald head of the man in the row in front of her.

"You have your singing," Kira said helpfully.

"You know, I think I'm going to become a nun," Lacus said.

"I think you'd be excellent at that," Kira offered.

Hello to all those who know me and those who don't! So I decided to write a Gundam Seed fic. My third story… how will I finish all of them?? Well this one won't be too many chapters, less than 10 for sure, and the chapters won't always be this long either. And Gundam Seed Destiny people will be introduced in Chapter 3. Until next time. XxDKAxX.
