Andy- Different
They were different in every way.
miageru sora
Every single way.
kanashimi no
No matter what it was,
There were different in every single way.
aoki nageki no
Food, genes, clothes…
It was all different.
utaga tada kikoeru
But yet, he had found himself being attached to this unique Natural,
Whose brains were equally smart as her ability to fight.
yasashii shiroi mabataki
He couldn't say the same of her twin brother though,
For Kira had much more brawn then brains, he had once told Murrue.
ubaisatta kaze...kanata
Murrue had laughed and told him to watch Kira and Cagalli very carefully.
-They have some similarities, if you look carefully.-
But till now,
He didn't see in what way they were similar.
nigenai boku wa kimetayo
They were so different.
kimi no nukumori sobani kanjite
Cagalli was a Natural,
Kira was the Ultimate Coordinator.
me wo sorasazuni
Cagalli was the princess of Orb,
And Kira was just a soldier fighting for Orb.
subete kono mune ni
Maybe those were the similarities.
sasaru shinjitsu naraba
Both were fighting to protect the people they loved,
Fighting to protect their future,
All the while left emotionally scarred.
aruite yukou
Even though the death of Aisha had struck him hard,
He was sure that her death had created a hole in them.
yugami fusagareta
They were so young.
Especially the princess,
Who had to bear the entire weight of her country on her small shoulders.
hoshi no tobira no mukou...
Gone was the spirited, brash and tomboyish young girl,
Replaced by a scarred, sad, frightened and powerless young leader.
maari yamanai
It was a large contrast from the girl that used to argue with him that chili sauce was better than yogurt sauce.
-Such a fond memory it had been…- He smiled as he recalled it.
akai ame
The girl who always didn't approve of his thinking,
Actually became his ally when he cleared his thinking.
omoi dasenai tsubusareta ashioto
She had accepted him like any other friend,
And not like a defector of ZAFT.
kimi no te sotto furetara
Andy felt that she had never noticed it,
But Cagalli bore an aura of welcoming around her.
kanjiteruyo sono kodou
Maybe that was what kept the Orb soldiers loyal to her in a dire situation.
Maybe it was that aura that gave them the strength to fight for her with their own lives as stake.
tsunaide mou hanasanai
It reminded him of his time as the Desert Tiger,
Where his troops were so loyal to him,
That they willingly obeyed his every command.
terashi tsuzukeyou hoshi no hikari de
Even Aisha, who was so faithful to him,
That she died in his place with a smile on her face.
nanika ga kawaru
Cagalli had left with a smile on her face,
Wishing Meyrin and Athrun all the best,
And sent them all off with a smile on her face.
ryoute hirogetara
The confident smile on her face…
Maybe that was the difference between them.
sore ga shinjitsu dakara
While he did not have to smile to get them to be loyal to him,
Cagalli's smile drew everyone to her.
doko e mo yukazu
Maybe that was the difference.
boku no soba ni ite
It didn't have to be food or anything,
Nothing to do with genes and such.
tobira wo akete ageyou
Cagalli was Cagalli,
He was he.
me wo sorasazuni
Both of them were once leaders,
But maybe the difference was the way they did things.
subete kono mune ni
But for now,
He would etch the memory of a girl who once argued with him that chilli sauce was better in his head…
-Chilli sauce is still the best, I'm telling you, Andy…-
sasaru shinjitsu naraba
aruite yukou
But maybe…the difference wasn't so great after all.
yugami fusagareta
hoshi no tobira no mukou...

A/N: Finished Andy's chapter at last…# whew # Sorry for the lack of updates, its been hectic for me over this month. Tests and homework and such…too bad I'm a rather slow learner…TT…anyway, thanks to the following reviewers!
AirStriker: Its okay; I'm touched that you still reviewed, my thanks! Yep, Murrue was always acting like a mother/ sister to them, instead of treating them like any other soldier. That is what I really admire about her.
Princess Ashes: Thanks for reviewing! Yep, she was really protective of them…I think Cagalli and the others must have been very happy to have a person to look up to…
ticky.tacky.toey: It was, in a way, supposed to be depressing, I didn't want to make it too depressing though…XD. Thanks for reviewing!
Athrya: Yes, I've been very tempted to call Andy that for ages… haha…well…erm, I was kinda feeling depressed while writing that chapter so…anyway, thanks for reviewing…
outlanders: Thanks for reviewing…I intended to write on six people, but I decided to add in a bonus chapter which features Meyrin, as she played a role in Cagalli's and Athrun distance from each other…no offense to Meyrin fans out there, I swear…
Again, thanks to the reviwers and readers! Next chapter will feature…Shinn!
