The night's ball theme was "a day in the snow".
Therefore people iced themselves with diamonds, slipped on their out of season uggs, (haha), and scarfed themselves up.
The ball room would be filled with ice sculptures, and snow would be mechanically made and blown down to create a wintery effect.
Cagalli chose an ice blue dress, with stockings, leg warmers, and moccasins.
She was escorted by Athuran who had earlier asked if he could escort her, he was wearing a snow jacket, with a scarf which indeed made him look a bit girly, but it worked and a pair of dressy pants.
Kira escorted Lacus, and when he saw her pink snow suit ensemble smiled, he was wearing a white suit, with a polar bear stuffed animal on his head.
After their rompt eariler that morning the two twins had been quite cheery.
Cagalli laughed at all of Athuran's lame jokes, and attempted to open up to him.
While Kira let himself be pulled towards Lacus charm.
Earlier before the ball, Athuran had walked around a little after seeing the twins and their "lake time", and decided to just sit by the entrance to the west wing.
About an hour later Cagalli had come out showered, and smiling.
Athuran had decided not to tell Lacus anything but felt himself yearning to talk to Cagalli.
So when he approached her he took her aside and told her he had seen everything.
She was confused at first, then with an oh knew instantly what Athuran was talking about.
She asked him what he thought about it, and Athuran told her how disgusted he had been, that it wasn't right.
They had sat down and talked for a while until the ball was to start and departed to get dressed.
They joined back up soon after to be together for the ball.
As Cagalli remebered her earlier talk with Athuran she realized how much she loved Athuran's personality.
Kira was never bossy and didn't dare to tell her what to do, but that's what she liked about Athuran, how forward he was with her.
As Athuran held Cagalli tight he remembered their conversation from earlier.
How she knew it was wrong, but how was she to know, Kira was the only person she ever had.
He was her all, it only made sense to her to be his lover.
She told Athuran how hurt she always felt, pushed away by her father, locked up to avoid her Aunt Meer's assasination attempts, how Kira was the only one ever there for her.
And when he had asked her if she wanted to try to do some, sexual things a few years back she had obliged.
Though now she was starting to realize how wrong it was.
He listened just as she had, and told her Kira wasn't the only one there for her, that he was here for her more than she knew.
Smiling wistfully, feeling as though his and Cagalli's relationship had improved enjoyed the feeling of her in his arms.
He twirled her around the dance floor, watching her smiling face, she looked like she was 6 smiling like a fool for no reason.
Cagalli looked at Athuran's emerald gaze, his lips turned up to grin at her.
maybe we could have something, he was right, what me and Kira have isn't good, not at all, but could Athuran love me like Kira does? What if i lose Kira's love what will i have left in this world?
Meanwhile .. away from Athuran and Cagalli's thoughts.
Kira and Lacus were dancing the night away, never taking their eyes off each other.
Kira had in the beggining been looking out for Cagalli, but as the night progressed his eyes were only for Lacus.
For some reason the taste of strawberries kept close in his mind.
Her pink dress only went to remind him of what she tasted like.
This morning Cagalli and him had sat down to discuss where everything was going to go.
The both decided, maybe being with each other wasn't very, well normal.
That they should both give Athuran and Lacus a try, maybe the kind of love Kira and Cagalli felt for each other was sibling love mistaken for something more.
Through all these choices, the twins set off to try reality for a spin.
And so far Kira was loving it, with Cagalli's consent he enjoyed Lacus' company a million times more, being able to bask in her charm.
Kira thought, Maybe this whole marriage thing wouldn't be so bad. just maybe .. it'll all be okay.
