Chapter 3

Athrun Zala fell asleep under the thick green canopy of the giant oak tree. That was the first time he dreamt of Cagalli Hibiki.

In his dream, it was very bright. But the light seemed to be radiating from Cagalli. She was glowing as if she was the sun itself. She giggled as she ran away from Athrun. She would frequently turn her head back to smile at him, gesturing for him to follow her. And he did, he chased after her. But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't catch up. Soon, she was out of his sight.

Athrun now found himself alone in the darkness. When Cagalli left, she seemed to have brought the sun along with her. He tried to call her, he shouted her name, but no one appeared. Suddenly, he heard someone else call her name. That someone had a sweet and gentle voice.

"Cagalli dear, please do be careful! Kira will be angry with me if I let you get hurt."

"Don't worry Lacus! I do this all the time! I'm nearly there; this little bird will be home soon."

"Alright then."

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

"Cagalli!"

All of a sudden, Athrun felt something soft and warm land on him and he woke up. He opened his eyes.

Emerald meets amber.

It was a while before anyone of them responded. They just stared into each others eyes. Suddenly, the silence was broken with an ear piercing scream.

"Ahh! Get off me!" Cagalli screamed. Her face was flushed.

"What? But you're the one on top of me!" Athrun yelled back.

Cagalli realising that he was right, quickly stood up.

"B...but you... You touched me! You're a pervert!" Cagalli accused.

"You're the one who fell on me! I should be the one to complain that you touched me!" Athrun shot back.

"Heck and why would I... Oh my goodness! You! Y...you were down there... A...and I was up there..." Cagalli said as she looked up and down. "Ahhh!"

Cagalli turned into a deeper shade of red as she clamped her legs shut and put her hands in front. She pulled her skirt down, as if trying to cover her modesty.

"Oh please, I didn't see anything. Even if I did, there is nothing much to look at." Athrun coolly replied.

"Why you!" Cagalli was really angry. She swore she had never been so mad at a particular person before.

"Cagalli! Oh my gosh! Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Lacus came running in.

Cagalli jumped in front of Lacus stretching her hand out as if protecting her from a monster.

"Lacus don't come closer to this creep! He's a pervert! You have to watch out!"

"So this is the thanks I get after saving your life. You're really are ungrateful aren't you?"

"Firstly, my life wasn't in jeopardy. Secondly, the only thing I need saving from, is from a freak like you!"

With that, Cagalli stomped off. She was really angry with him. She had never met anyone so detestable. She had to get away from him before she could do something drastic, like killing him.

"Sorry Athrun," Lacus said before she ran to catch up with the furious blonde.

Watching the two figures retreat, Athrun realised that his face was red too. He was starting to get interested in that girl. He even dreamt about her. She was different from the other girls. Sure she was beautiful and good at tennis. Girls and boys both adore her. But she was also hot tempered and she had a pure heart; she actually took the trouble and the risk to return a little bird back up to its nest. Thinking about that peculiar blonde, Athrun Zala smiled.

"Wow, has my dear old friend officially lost it? Or am I seeing things? The ice prince is actually smiling?"

"Kira..."

"How are you Athrun? You know it's really great to see you smile again. It's been a long time..."

"Yea, I guess it has..." Athrun said to the brunette.

... ... ...

It was now another life skills lesson with Mwu La Fllaga. The eccentric teacher brought two giant boxes to class that day. Cagalli glared at the bluenette. It seemed that Athrun had reached class before she did and sat at his usual corner reading his book. She decided to ignore him as she sat down. He had ruined her day enough and she's not going to let him get to her anymore.

"Sir, what's in there?" a boy asked pointing to the boxes.

"You'll find out in just a minute. Be patient. Now class, you are going to work in pairs for this assignment. Your partners are no other than the people sitting next to you."

"What?" Cagalli exclaimed, glaring at the bluenette next to her. "But..."

"No buts Miss Hibiki, this is final! Now where was I, right..." Mwu opened the box and started handing out a baby doll to each pair.

The whole class erupted into an uproar.

"What? We have to babysit?"

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"I want to name our baby Daisy!"

"Eww! You mean like the duck?"

"No! Like the flower!"

"In the first place, our baby is a boy! So we should call him Trevor!"

"But I'm too young to be a father!"

"This is not real, moron!"

Everyone had something to say. Everyone except the pair at the back. They were just too shocked to say anything. They just stared at the doll in front of them.

Banging his fist on the table, Mwu shouted, "Quiet everyone! Geez, you kids are worst than the monkeys at the zoo. He then massaged his forehead. "I'm surely not going to live past forty," Mwu sighed.

"Alright kids, these are the rules. One, no changing of partners. Two, no throwing away, losing or damaging these dolls or whatever it is you children do. Three, take care of these dolls like your own. Your grades depend on them. They are like real life babies. Meaning they cry, poop, and need to be fed. Fourthly, you can get a bag of baby supplies from the box here. If you run out, you can get some from the office. Lastly, I don't really care what you name the babies or what gender they are; just bring them back in one piece."

"Or try to at least," Mwu muttered this part.

"Any questions?" he asked.

"How long do we have to take care of them?" a girl asked.

"Until I decide and say so. Now class dismissed!" Mwu announced.

Every pair took a bag each and left the class with their babies, leaving Athrun and Cagalli behind. They continued to stare at the baby in front until Cagalli broke the silence.

"Ok Zala, I don't want to fail this class no matter how ridiculous it is and I'm sure neither do you. So we will take turns and take care of this err, baby (Cagalli wanted to say monster). Right, so we do the exchange every day after school ok?"

"Fine by me."

Suddenly, the cries of the baby filled the classroom and both Cagalli and Athrun jumped up and panicked.

"Great! So Zala you're starting first!" Cagalli yelled as she rushed out of the classroom.

Cagalli was not really fond of children, especially babies. She would term them as horrid little monsters. The truth is not that she dislikes them, but more of afraid of them. Yes, the almighty Cagalli Hibiki has one fear, and that was babies. She does not know how to handle them and would panic when one cries.

Athrun Zala stared at the wailing baby on the table. His partner, Cagalli Hibiki, had just ran off and left him to fend for himself. This was the first time he had to do something like this and he was really glad that it was just a doll and not a real breathing baby. He sighed as he picked up the crying baby and the bag of supplies and walked out of the classroom. Today was going to be a long day.

To be continued…

Ok, I got this baby idea from the suite life of zack and cody. Anyone watched it? Yes I seemed to be taking ideas from everywhere. Sorry but I'm not that creative! I can only think of so much! Do you think my chapters are too short? Should I make it longer? It'll be harder though because I'm not sure how to prolong it without touching on my next idea for the next chapter.
