(Cagalli ran through the darkness searching for anything. She moved faster and faster as she heard the words that Chairman Durandal spoke when she talked to him before the second war "No, princess. Strength is a necessity, there will always be conflict." She then cringed as she smelled the strong stinch of blood. A bright flash of light blinded her momentarily, she squinted her eyes open and looked up and gasped. There up in the sky were gundams fighting. Cagalli began to breathe heavily, she knew it was partially her fault, she began to cry, "I'm so sorry", then where she was standing at gave out and she began to freefall and scream.)

Cagalli was tossing and turning on her bed and she rolled to the side and screamed "I'm so sorry" and then she rolled right off the bed and landed on the floor with a thud. Athrun being in the room next to Cagalli's heard the commotion and came running into her room "Cagalli!, Are you alright?" He ran over to her and crouched down beside her, he started to shake her "Cagalli! Wake up!"

Cagalli finally started to wake up and grabbed ahold of Athrun's shirt and held on to it for dear life, "Athrun?"

He nodded and gave her a reasurring smile "yeah it's me, I'm right here."

"I'm sorry that I woke you" she still had a death grip on Athrun's shirt.

Athrun reached out and hugged her "it's okay, you're more important than sleep."

She returned his hug "Athrun don't leave; will you stay in here with me, please?"

He lifted her up into his arms and placed her on the bed, he layed next to her and wrapped his arms around her protectively "as you wish Princess."

Cagalli held on to Athrun until she once again fell asleep.

The next morning Kira and Lacus were silently eating breakfast together.

Lacus glanced over to Kira "Kira?"

Kira looked up to face Lacus "yes Lacus?"

She placed her fork down "did you hear Cagalli last night?"

Kira furrowed his eyebrows "yeah, I don't know anyone who didn't."

Lacus placed her hands on her lap "what do you think she was so upset about?"

Kira smiled a little "Lacus I'm sure it was just a nightmare, nothing to be concerned about."

Lacus faintly smiled "I hope so."

Kira stood up from his seat and stretched and laughed lightly "the celebration is tonight Lacus, it's a joyous occasion, so let's be cheerful."

Lacus giggled "yes you are right, Kira."

0000

Cagalli opened her eyes to see Athrun watching her happily. He smiled at her lovingly "good morning Cagalli."

Cagalli slowly sat up and stretched "good morning Athrun."

Athrun sat up as well "Cagalli, about last night."

Cagalli laughed "it was just a nightmare Athrun, nothing to worry about."

Athrun looked skeptical "are you sure?"

Cagalli stood up and walked towards the bathroom "yes I'm sure, now if you don't mind I'm going to take a shower."

Athrun leaned back on his elbows and smirked "can I join?"

Cagalli's face turned blood red "no!, well uhh I mean, oh just forget it!"

Athrun chuckled "why not it's not like we haven't showered together before?"

"Just because!" with that Cagalli slammed the bathroom door shut.

Athrun laughed, he then layed back down and started to think about what Cagalli's nightmare might have been about.

Braeden was starring at the mobile suits smiling to himself.

"Just a few more hours."

Braeden turned around to see who spoke, "awhh Cillian."

Cillian a twenty year old with short black hair, and brown eyes was grinning like a little kid who just recieved a new toy at the mobile suits. "I absolutely can not wait to kill those disgusting coordinators with my machine."

Braeden scowled a little "don't get me wrong as much as I want to crush them like the trash they are, our only objective today is the Orb Princess."

Cillian shrugged his shoulders "it's not my fault if I have to kill some to get our objective."

Braeden just laughed and turned back towards the mobile suits.

0000

Cagalli was done taking her shower and she was on her way to see Lacus. Cagalli knocked on Lacus's door, once she heard Lacus say "come in" she opened the door and walked in and shut it.

Lacus was sitting at her vanity styling her hair, "hi Cagalli"

"Hey Lacus" Cagalli walked over and sat near Lacus and watched the pink haro bouncing around rambling on to itself.

Lacus watched her for a second "would you like to tell me what is bothering you, Cagalli?"

Cagalli frowned a little and took a deep breath "I think we made a mistake Lacus."

Lacus smiled sadly "perhaps, but I feel it was the right thing to do, especially with the way the Atlantic Federation is sneaking around. Cagalli no matter how much we want it to, the world is never going to be fully at peace, but when the time comes and if a battle breaks out we will be there to stop it."

Cagalli looked out the window "that may be true, but we are no better when it comes to sneaking around at this point in time."

Lacus was finishing the last touches on her hair "I agree, but as of right now there is no point in speaking of it."

Cagalli nodded her head "I guess you are right, well I'm going to go get ready see ya!"

Lacus smiled and waved a little "okay, see you later."

Captain Taber eagerly walked into the bridge "Eric report!" Eric turned in his chair to face Taber "Sir our allies that are currently in the Plants reported in this morning. Appearently a member of the Joule Team saw our ship on one of the satalites and was taking the information to Commander Joule, but Evie, and Levi's team pursued them, Samson was killed in the process. They were able to destroy the information, and the car as well, however when they retrieved the car, the two people were no longer inside." Taber rubbed his chin "I see that could make things tricky, how about the others?" Eric ran a hand through his hair "they are going to launch the attack on Orb after we have Attha, Sir." Taber grinned wickedly "very well, let us get going, it's now or never." Eric nodded "yes sir!"

Eric talked on the intercom "Braeden and Cillian get to your mobile suits and prepare to launch!"

Captain Taber started to hum.

Lacus was standing beside the door waiting on Kira. She had her hair up in an elegant pony tail, and she was wearing a light blue strapless ball gown. Kira came into her view he was wearing his white military uniform. Kira came over to her side and took her hand "you look wonderful, Lacus." She smiled happily "thank you Kira. Did you let Athrun, and Cagalli know that we we are leaving now?" Kira nodded "yes, I told them that we would see them there." Lacus opened the door "then let us go, Kira." He smiled "alright Lacus."

Shiho was watching Yzak intently, she lifted an eyebrow when he slammed his fist into the mirror and broke it "Yzak?"

"Damnit!" He turned to look at Shiho, "sorry." She waved her hand "it doesn't matter to me." Yzak walked over and sat down on the bed beside her. "I rather be out looking for the bastards that blew up the Rousseau than" Shiho interupted him, "I feel the same way Yzak, but this celebration is important too, even though now it seems rather hypocritical." Yzak looked at her "Shiho." She stood up and reached her hand out to him "So let's go and make the best out of it okay?" Yzak took her hand and stood up "whatever you say, woman." She smiled and together they started to walk, and with that the two made their way out of their home and on their way to the celebration.

Braeden and Cillian were in their mobile suits looking for Levi, and Evie team's escape shuttle to guide it to the ship. "Hey Cillian, do you see them?"

Cillian was looking all around "no not yet?"

Braeden sighed "maybe we should contact the ship."

Cillian was about to agree until he saw the shuttle "wait! there to the left Braeden, I see them."

Braeden turned left and sighed in relief "good they made it, let's hurry and get them to the ship. We don't have much time left."

Cillian started towards the shuttle "yeah, yeah whatever!"

(a/n Evie && Levi arn't on the shuttle they are still in the Plants.)

Athrun was standing in the foyer looking at his watch, "Cagalli we really need to leave soon."

She was sitting at the top of the stairs trying to put on her high heels while mumbling "stupid shoes" until she heard Athrun. She swiftly picked up her shoes and marched down the staircase. Athrun turned upon hearing her footsteps to face the staircase. He opened his mouth a little when he saw her. She was wearing a strapless dark purple silk evening gown that clung to her slender curves perfectly, and her hair was curled and hanging down on her shoulders. He was so mesmerized that he didn't even hear any of Cagalli's complaining. "You look beautiful, Cagalli."

She blinked "uh well thank you Athrun."

He smiled at her and took her hand into his "are you ready to go?" She pulled her hand away and crossed her arms "no Athrun, I am not ready to go."

Athrun blinked and stepped back and eyed her top to bottom "what else do you have to do?" She just ignored him. Then his left eye noticed something, he turned to see her shoes thrown poorly in the corner "Cagalli your shoes."

Cagalli stomped past him and pointed down at them "I am not, I repeat not wearing those damn shoes Athrun!"

He smiled slyly "so you are going to go barefoot?" She shook her head "no! I'm just going to find a different pair of shoes."

Athrun sighed "sit down Cagalli." She raised an eyebrow "why should I?" Athrun picked up the shoes "because I'm going to put your shoes on you."

Cagalli gaped at him "you are going to what!" He didn't answer he just gently pushed her down so that she was seated and he put her shoes on rather quickly. Once he was done he stood up and reached his hand down to her "Okay let us get going now, please?" She was blushing a little but she stood up with the help of Athrun and nodded yes. He smiled at his victory and led them out of Kira and Lacus's house.

They were walking to the car peacefully until Athrun tensed up. Cagalli noticed it "Athrun, what's wrong?" He pulled her closer to his side and whispered "Cagalli were being followed."

She flinched "by how many?" Athrun kept walking forward with her at his side towards the car "four, and also your two bodyguards." Cagalli stopped walking and starred at Athrun.

Athrun stopped as well and faced Cagalli "Cagalli, please come on." Cagalli smiled at him "relax Athrun it's just extra security for me, I actually came to the Plants with six bodyguards not two."

Athrun relaxed a little "why didn't you tell me that?" Cagalli shrugged her shoulders "because I didn't want you to be worried, but it ended up happening anyway, I'm sorry."

Athrun smiled at her and hugged her "It's okay, I'm glad it was just bodyguards, now seriously we need to go." She laughed "okay, let's go foreal."

Luna was opening the door to Meyrin's room, when it was fully opened her eyes widened, Meyrin was awake sitting up on her bed, "Meyrin you're awake!" She ran over to her side and gently hugged her. Meyrin hugged Luna back with her good arm "hey big sis." Luna smiled and let go and ran over to the door "I'll be right back I'm going to go find a doctor!"

Luna ran down the hall till she found Dr. Scott. She ran to his side "Dr. Scott! Meyrin is awake!" He looked at Luna and smiled "that is very good news, I'll go check on her right now, you should call and inform Commander Elsman, Miss Hawke." She smiled happily "I'll do that right now."

Luna pulled out her phone and called Dearka, he didn't answer so she left him a voicemail.

Andy, Mwu, and Murrue were sitting at a table together watching as everyone entered the room.

"Do you think so many naturals, and coordinators can all get along for one night? Mwu said while eyeing the Earth Forces higher ups.

Murrue looked at him and smiled "I'm sure since it is a celebration after all."

Andy started to laugh, "well if it isn't Martin DaCosta, when did you get back from Earth?

DaCosta smiled at the group and shrugged his shoulders "this morning actually, I just couldn't miss a good party."

Andy lifted a hand "would ya like to join us?"

DaCosta pulled a chair out and sat down "don't mind if I do."

Murrue watched him "why were you on Earth anyways, if you don't mind me asking?"

DaCosta laughed a little "I was on a top secret mission for the Chairwoman."

Murrue's eyes widened a little "oh I see." Mwu, and Andy just kept silent.

"Miss Murrue?"

Murrue looked to her right to see who said her name and smiled once she saw who it was "Oh, Miriallia it's so good to see you!"

Mir smiled warmly and walked closer to the group "yeah, the same for me as well."

Murrue stood up and hugged her. Mwu looked around "hey Mir where's your date at?"

Mir scowled and made a fist "that jerk ran off somewhere!"

Mwu laughed "the Zaft kids never change!"

Mir sat down at the table and high fived Mwu "you got that right!"

Everyone at the table laughed.

Yzak and Shiho were walking down the hallway to enter the Grand Hall where the celebration was being held.

Yzak noticed Dearka sitting down on a bench, he decided to walk over along with Shiho to see what he was doing. "what the hell are you doing, Dearka?"

Dearka was dialing his voicemail on his phone "I'm checking my voicemail hold on just a second"

Dearka listened to the voicemail it was from Luna "Commander Elsman, it's Hawke reporting in, Meyrin is now awake, Sir!"

Dearka sighed and stood up and faced Yzak and Shiho "Meyrin Hawke is awake now."

Yzak nodded "that's good news." Shiho looked at Yzak questioningly "Commander are we going to go to the hospital now?"

Yzak smirked at her "no, we are going to go inside to the celebration, Meyrin probably just woke up so therefore she won't remember to well just yet."

Shiho nodded her head in understanding. Dearka looked at them and started to walk away laughing.

Yzak growled "what the fuck you laughing at Dearka?"

Dearka raised his hand in the air and shouted "nothing !" and went on his merrily way.

Yzak rolled his eyes "I'll never understand what goes on in that idiot's brain!" Shiho just smiled and eventually Yzak and her started walking in the direction Dearka went.

0000

Dearka walked back into the Grand Hall and was looking for Mir, he finally found her and made his way over to her and tapped her on her shoulder "hey Mir"

She turned to look at him "where did you go?" Dearka laughed nervously "sorry, I had to check on a call, forgive me?" She thought a minute about it, she came to the conclusion it must have been important, so she smiled warmly to him "it's all right Dearka."

He smiled back at her "thanks Mir." She patted a seat next to her, and he happily sat in it.

Mwu leaned back into his seat "where's Kira and Lacus, I kinda figured they would be the first ones here."

Yzak and Shiho who finally made their way in and upon hearing Mwu, Yzak answered the question for him. "Chairwoman Clyne, and Commander Yamato are outside talking to the Republic of East Asia's leader."

Mwu made a sour face "damn politics."

Shiho stepped closer to the table "do you mind if we join you?"

Murrue waved her hand "of course not, the more the merrier!"

Shiho nodded "thank you" and pulled out a seat and sat down. Yzak did the same.

Everyone at the table watched as Kira and Lacus finally entered, Lacus walked over to the other side of the hall to speak with other leaders and Kira made his way over to the table that everyone was watching him from.

Kira stepped up to them and smiled "hey"

They all said some type of greeting.

Kira sat down and started talking to Andy.

Andy looked around the Hall "where is Athrun and Cagalli?"

Kira shrugged his shoulders "Lacus and I left before them, so it's hard to tell. I'm sure they will be here soon, Athrun doesn't like to be late."

Andy laughed "that's true."

Cagalli and Athrun were walking down the hallway, she looked over at him "you know the Orb Admiral uniform looks good on you."

He glanced at her "oh really?" She nodded "yes it really does." He smirked and then carefully pushed her into a corner of another hallway. She widened her eyes "Athrun what are you doing?" He smiled at her while he slowly leaned down to kiss her and she happily responded to it. They broke apart when they felt something bump into their legs. They both looked down at the little girl sitting on her butt on the floor rubbing her face. Cagalli made a shocked face "Laraine!"
