A/N:Many thanks to the reviewers and people who have put this story on alert or as their favourite fic…thanks so much! Yet again I'm sorry for my late update. If the story seems a little bit slack and disappointing…please read on. I'll try my best to improve on it. Thanks! Oh ya…if you want to know the reason why I really didn't update for so long…it was because of school and health problem…just know that I'm not dead YET…I've survived the hospital twice so I don't think I will die any time soon…I am beginning to think I have nine lives like a cat…

The Sunlight filtering through the window was unbearable. Shinn immediately woke up, cursing at the Sun, he was not a morning person at all. Dread hit him when he realised that he was late, really late. He was supposed to attend a briefing for tomorrow's event. He paled considerably at the consequences for his tardiness as a shiver ran down his spine. He would not want to imagine what Cagalli Yula Attha and Yzak Joule would do to him. He had looked down on the Orb's representative once, and had even gave her a good verbal thrashing, and he had gotten away with it then. Then was when she was being suppressed by the Seirans, then was when she was depressed and grieved. Now, she had regained her old feisty self; one wrong remark and he will find his head hanging off his neck.
He quickly refreshed himself and grabbed the keys to his motorcycle ready to leave when he felt a sudden tug on his sleeve. He spanned around to find Stellar looking at him with sadden eyes.
"Shinn's going to leave Stellar?" Stellar with a quivering voice suggesting that she might cry any moment.
"Well…Ano…I need to get to work…but I'll be back in a few days alright?" Shinn asked, a little guilty that he did not inform Stellar about his trip.
"A few days…but Shinn…Stellar would only be here for around another three more weeks! Stellar wants to spend them all with Shinn!" Stellar exclaimed tears threatening to spill at any moment.
If there were one other thing that Shinn feared other than the wrath of certain two people combined will be Stellar's puppy eye or her crying. I mean no one in their right mind would say no to a crying Stellar or Stellar with her puppy eye…Okay…get real…even insane zombies could not resist a crying/puppy eye Stellar!
"Me too! But Stellar…work is important too, I can't possibly ditch the Clyne Faction at the last minute…" Shinn trailed off in a strangled voice and the thought of Stellar leaving him sooner than he like almost killed him. ( Keyword is ALMOST…) Just as he finished the sentence, Stellar like a lone tone rolled down her check and her tap to start following. She begun crying silently. Well…the sight of Stellar crying…broke Shinn's heart and killed him. Scratch that…he died of a broken heart. Stellar panicked as she saw Shinn's soul leaving his body. She had to give a mighty push for it to return to his body so that he would not really die.
"Shinn!!! Are you okay!!!" Stellar asked panicking almost going into her berserk mood. (Keyword is ALMOST
After a few shakes and cries, Shinn finally begun to return to normal. He looked at the distressed Stellar and his eyes softened. To hell with the angry duo…he gave Stellar a gentle hug to comfort her. When he was sure she had fully calmed down. He pulled away from the hug.
"Ne…Stellar are you willing to come…" Shinn had yet to finished asking the question when his phone rang. With an annoyed look, he answered his phone only to hear the caller screeched his name so loud that it puts a jet plane to shame.
"Shinn Asuka!!! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE NOW BEFORE I BLAST YOUR SORRY ASS WITH AKATSUKI(got the spelling from wikepedia…pls inform me if it is wrong.)" Cagalli screamed barely keeping her cool. In the background he could hear Athrun trying his best to cool Cagalli down while Yazk fuelled her on and said something about firing a laser at to fry that lazy brain.
"Hold your horse damn it! I had an unexpected guest who is a bit sick…I need to take care of her damn it!" Shinn lied through his teeth.
"You…the great Shinn Asuka looking after a sick person!!!" Cagalli shrieked dripping with sarcasm.
"It's true! Geez…why are you so easily pissed! Anyway you could just send the details to me…and another person might be aiding us." Shinn tried his best from pissing her further.
"…Another person you say?" He could almost hear the cogs working in her brain trying to figure out who it was or if it was worth letting another person into the job at such a last minute notice.
"Yes…she will be very helpful…she is well-trained and had fought in the second war…"
"She…who is she?" Cagalli demanded.
"You'll only meet her in person if you do come around later…and promise not to blast my head off with your screams…And bring only Athrun,Kira and Lacus…" Shinn said and ended the call not caring that he might get fired.
