NOTE: I know there's a little Athrun and Meyrin scenario in here, but IT IS NOT ASUMEY! I REPEAT, NOT ASUMEY! I just needed Meyrin to somehow grow a crush on Athrun, and there it is.

WAH! I made a mistake last chapter, I'm so so so sorry! The previews shouldn't say "Athrun, you're engaged to… Meer Campbell?" It should say, "Athrun, you're engaged to.. Lacus Clyne?"

ANDDDDDD, I KNOW THERE'S THAT TINY LITTLE ASULACUS SCENE – but… THIS FIC IS ASUCAGA! ASUCAGA! I needed to add some bumps into the KiraLacus and AsuCaga pairing, otherwise it wouldn't well, be realistic/follow the story line.

Chapter 2

Fiancées? Marriage? Oh dear!

Lacus entered the room silently, carrying her Pink Haro with her – Athrun had made it for her as a birthday present. She had commanded Pink-chan to sleep, and looked up at her father, who was staring at her sadly.

"Lacus," he began, and she noted how he tensed almost immediately, "You are aware how I am the vice-president of PLANT Corp. and Patrick Zala is the president, I trust."

Lacus nodded.

"Well.. Patrick Zala has threatened to find someone younger for the job, as he was unsure whether Athrun would be a suitable successor."

"I wanted to keep my job more then anything, because the job allows me to afford everything we need, and everything we have…"

"Lacus, I'm sorry to say, but you are now engaged to Athrun Zala, son of Patrick Zala."

"No.." Lacus whispered, her tears dropping onto the floor, "Father, you know that I only regard Athrun as a friend.. We dated once, but it didn't match. Please father, tell me this is a sick joke or something!"

Siegel bowed his refuse, unwilling to let his eyes meet his daughter's pleading blue ones, "I'm sorry."

Pink-chan dropped as Lacus wrenched the door open and ran away, pink hair flowing behind her, tears still dropping.

Siegel sank down in the chair he was in and buried his hands in his hair. "What have I done?"

IIIIIIIIII

Meyrin was walking again, this time actually knowing where her class was. She made a sharp right turn, only to collide into someone.

"O-Ow.." she whimpered, as she fell backwards, landing on her bottom. "It hurts.."

"I'm sorry," a gentle voice said, "I wasn't looking where I was going. Are you alright?"

She looked up.

And it was Athrun Zala.

'Athrun Zala!' her mind raced, 'Luna-nee told me about him.. He's one of the most popular boys in this school, and oh wow, he's so handsome. I-I…'

"Excuse me?" he said again, only this time a bit louder, "Are you alright?" He stretched out his hand to her.

She accepted his hand, and he pulled her up. "A-Ah, yes, I'm fine." She said looking to the side to hide her growing blush, "I'm sorry for bumping into you."

He gave her a small smile, "I'm Athrun Zala. Who are you?"

"M-Meyrin Hawke."

"Well Meyrin, I really need to go now. I'll see you later? Luna's little sister am I repeat?" his smile didn't fade, and oh god, he had pretties eyes she'd ever seen.

"I-I suppose…"

"Alright then, take care." And he left.

'Dear God', she thought, 'I think I'm in love.'

IIIIIIIIII

Cagalli looked at her watch. Again,

'7:58 AM. I swear, Athrun usually gets here earlier, doesn't he? He's going to be late!"

"Zala!" she waved her hands, as she saw a blue-haired boy turn the corner holding his PE uniform.

And promptly blinked when warm brown eyes stared at her instead of the emerald she was looking for.

"Ahaha, sorry." She grinned sheepishly and rubber her head, "I got the wrong person. I'm Cagalli."

He gave her a shy smile, "Y-Yuki Tomoe. And it's perfectly alright. I guess I'll see you in class then." He walked past her, and went to talk to some boys who were laughing at the situation they just witnessed.

Cagalli blinked again as another blue-head turned the corner and was sure this time it was Athrun. After all, how many males have dark blue hair?

"ATHRUN!" she screamed, cupping her hands around her mouth, "YOU'RE LATE!"

And promptly laughed when she saw him rub his ears. "My god Cagalli, I'm standing right in front of you, do you really need to scream?"

She continued laughing and smiled innocently, "You were late. I was just making sure you knew."

"Mm. Let's go, before we really are late for class. I'm not that found of detention."

IIIIIIIIII

It was lunch. It was free time. Thank god.

He really needed to talk to Lacus.

He saw her walking with Kira and Cagalli and he reached out and grabbed her arm from behind. She turned to look at him shocked, and she recognized something in his eyes. She nodded, and smiled at the confused twins, "I need to talk to Athrun. Please excuse me."

He pulled her into an abandoned hallway. She looked at him hesitantly, and he was the first to speak.

"I don't want this engagement any more then you do."

Lacus smiled, relieved. They had dated a while back, and she was partially afraid that he still had feelings for her and wanted this engagement. "Then how do we pull this off?"

"I don't know.. I don't mean to offend you in any way Lacus, but I've moved on."

"On to a certain blonde girl perhaps? You should really try to talk to her more, she's still afraid that you like me. We've all been afraid."

"Maybe. I'm attracted to her a bit, I'll admit that, but I'm not sure if it's love. We'll see." He let out a small laugh, "but, before I do anything, we really need to find out how to break this engagement."

Lacus shook her head, "I have nothing. Your father has threatened to drop my dad from his position. If you were to take over his position, then we'd have a solution by just simply having you give my father his job back, but,…" she trailed off.

"My father isn't sure if I'm suitable for the job. I know." Athrun refused to meet her eyes, instead choosing to stare at the floor.

Lacus took a deep breath, "Until we find a solution, we need to keep the act up. I'm sure your father would feel threatened if we didn't act like a couple and drop my father immediately."

Athrun nodded, "Alright. We'll discuss this later. Let's go."

IIIIIIIIII

FLASHBACK

"No! No! No, no, no! I don't want to marry Sai! I want to marry Kira! Kira! It's not fair!"

"Fllay, I'm sorry, but please understood..." her father was staring up at her with hopeful eyes.

She sniffled before looking straight up at him, "Daddy, don't make me marry Sai, please, it's not fair..."

Her father shook his head and smiled sadly, "I'm afraid I can't do that. I'm sorry."

FLASHBACK (END)

Well, there goes my chance of being with Kira. Sai's a friend, just not that type of friend. I'll talk to Kira later, I guess.

It was lunch. She would go look for him. And talk.

And out of the corner of her eye, she saw two familiar twins, walking side by side.

And she ran towards them and popped up, scaring the hell out of both of them, before grabbing the male's hand, and telling Cagalli, "I needa borrow him for a sec, 'kay?" and running away.

And Cagalli stared.

And she dragged Kira away.

Too many 'ands'.

She dragged him to the hallway near the lockers, which was basically deserted, "Kira, I love you,." She said and closed her eyes. Please say you love me back. She thought, If you feel the same way I might be able to work something out with my daddy.

"Fllay –" she heard him whisper softly.

And she looked up into his eyes.

His eyes – the amethyst colored ones held so much emotion. There was companionship, friendship, and then.

Pity.

He pitied her.

And she laughed a bitter laugh, "I see. Its Lacus isn't it? You like her don't you?"

Kira frowned at her before sighing gently and rubbing the top of her head, "I'm sorry Fllay."

Fllay give him a bittersweet smile, "I want you to be happy Kira. If you like her, you should go tell her."

"If only it was that easy."

IIIIIIIIII

She was alone. Again. Was it just her, or was everyone ditching her?

Cagalli sighed and kicked a pebble lying near her foot. She was bored out of her mind. Athrun and Lacus had disappeared – somewhere, and Kira had been dragged away by Fllay. To be honest, she didn't like Fllay much. A bit too clingy for her tastes, but anyway.

Was she that bad of a friend that everyone ditched her?

She sighed and managed to walk into someone. Again

God is against me, I swear. She thought, as she picked herself up from the ground in which she landed on. Good to see my ass is acquainted with the ground.

"A-Ah, I'm sorry!" the boy she crashed into began sputtering out apologies, and she vaguely recognized him as the boy she had crashed into during PE.

"S'okay. I wasn't looking either." She shrugged it off.

Yuki Tomoe looked at her oddly for a second, before turning away. "Are you alright? You look a bit lonely?"

"No duh." Cagalli said sarcastically, "Well, let's see. My friends ditched me, Mr. Dullindal hates me, I'm failing history, and um yeah – did I mention my friends ditched me?"

Yuki smiled sympathetically at her, "It seems like you're having a hard day. Why don't I treat you lunch?"

Okay. Now this was just weird. How many people just go up to you randomly and offer free food?

He was a stranger.

But it was free food.

But he was a stranger.

But it was free food.

Free food made her happy.

She smiled back at him, "'Kay. But you're paying, right?"

(A/N: IT'S AN ASUCAGA, I SWEAR!)

IIIIIIIIII

"Luna-nee?" Meyrin deposited her bad in the courtyard of where Lunamaria was sitting, "I think I'm in love."

Lunamaria, who was happily chewing a sandwich, choked, "Say what?"

"Luna-nee…" Meyrin's eyes took on a dreamy state, "I think I'm in love. With Athrun Zala."

Lunamaria coughed up a few remains of her sandwich and looked at Meyrin oddly, "Are you sure? That guy has like twenty bazillion fan girls chasing after he. That adds more to his giant harem."

Meyrin nodded, "I always told myself – don't fall in love with the popular boys – they're all jerk and stuff, but he was so... nice. I don't know, I just did. Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Luna continued to stare at her, "No."

"Well I do."

"Okay, that's great and all." Luna patted her little sister fondly on the head, "But how will you get him to notice you?"

"……" Silence.

"Meyrin?"

"I haven't thought about that yet…"

IIIIIIIIII

He was waiting for his parents to pick him up – where the hell were they?

Until a policeman stepped up to him.

"Are you Shinn Asuka?"

A confused nod.

"Shinn Asuka, I suppose? I am sorry to say, but your family has been in a car crash, at exactly 3:16 PM."

It took a while for the words to sink into Shinn.

And then he snapped, "The hell? Don't lie to me! This isn't funny!" He didn't care that he was in public – most people had already left, so there was barely anyone here.

The policeman let out a dry laugh, "I wish I was joking. I'm very sorry for your loss."

Shinn shook for a while – this couldn't be true – he had seen his family in the morning, he'd eaten breakfast with them, he'd left with hem. This couldn't be true right?

Still shaking, he looked up at the policeman, "Who – Who was the driver of that car that killed them? And how'd they die?"

"There.. There was a signal malfunction somehow, and both intersections had a green light. I guess neither of them had been careful enough and both cars rammed into each other. The other victim survived though…"

"Who was this other victim?" Shinn prodded. He wanted revenge – how could this guy survive while his father didn't?

"Uzumi Nara Attha.."

IIIIIIIIII

"Lacus!" Athrun called afterschool. "I – I got a call from my father, and -."

Lacus nodded sadly, "I know, we have to have a public act. For publicity."

Athrun looked at his friend sadly, "Lacus, I am so sorry.. I know you like Kira, and it'll devastate him to see this, but – "

Lacus gave him another sad smile, "It's okay, this isn't your fault. It's no one.s"

Athrun frowned again, "Except for my old man maybe."

Lacus took a deep breath before extending her hand out. Athrun nodded and stretched his hand out too.

And they walked out the school doors together hand in hand, ignoring the shocked look of the twins and the others who were waiting in front of the school for someone to pick them up or drive home.

Please, Lacus begged, please don't let them assume anything. I love you Kira, Cagalli loves you Athrun. Please don't assume…

Her hopes were shattered when she saw Cagalli run out of the school area, and Kira running after her shouting her name.

I'm sorry.. Lacus thought, as a single tear slipped down her cheek, I'm so so sorry… I never meant to hurt anyone, I'm so sorry.

-sigh- I'm writing so much! WAH! As promised, I'll post up a few schedules today. xD

3 I'm hoping for around 10 reviews this chapter. D I'll still write either way. But reviews make me feel better and motivate me. ; 3

PREVIEWS:

"Cagalli Yula Attha – daughter of Uzumi Nara Attha. Your father was a murderer. You have a murderer's blood running in you. So do me a favor, and get the fucking hell away from me."

"Class, we have a new transfer student – Her name is Stellar."

"Kira – Kira please listen. Please, Kira, Lacus and I aren't anything."

"Have you been lying to me this whole time Athrun? About you and Lacus? You said you weren't together, but Cagalli and I saw you walk out hand – in hand! Tell me the truth!"

"Miri – Miri it hurts so much. They walked out together, they're back together, and Athrun – oh god. Miri, I love Athrun so much, it hurts.."

WAH. I think I might've added the fiancée stud a bit too early, but that's okay, I guess. The earlier the drama, the better right? xD
