CHAPTER FOUR- The Concert
The familiar red, black, blue, and gray battleship known as the Minerva was docked in the PLANTS. The ship was getting repairs in Martius City and for about a week the ship hadn't entered battle nor found any conflicts.
The Minerva was heading back to ZAFT to dock officially and allow its crew members time to go home, but the members were still on call, ready to be called to battle at any moment.
An ambitious, fiery tempered male sat in the cafeteria of the ship, picking at the food he had collected on his lunch tray. His black hair was in disarray and his red eyes, intense as always.
The sound of the door sliding open brought Shinn Asuka back to reality. "Hey Shinn." said Lunamaria, her dark pink hair was neatly brushed and her gray eyes as cheery as always. He nodded in her direction, acknowledging her presence. She collected some food onto her tray then took a sit across from him. "What's up?" She asked.
"Nothing." Shinn replied. Lunamaria gazed at him for a few moments, gauging his personality then finally sighed.
"I heard today is our day off, the Captain is letting us explore the PLANTS and have fun. Do you have anything in mind?" Lunamaria continued.
"Not really." He replied in a distant and detached kind of way.
Lunamaria stared at him for a while, he didn't speak and Lunamaria silently fumed. "Nothing?" She asked.
"Nothing." Shinn said. The female sighed and held the fork in her hand so tightly her hand began trembling.
"Aren't you going to ask what I'm doing?" Lunamaria asked Shinn evenly.
"What're you doing?" He asked.
"I got tickets to Lacus Clyne's concert. Do you want to come?" She asked Shinn. He seemed to contemplate it for a moment.
"Sure." He replied.
"Cool. Her concert is in Aprilius City, it's really close so I thought we should go. I managed to snag four tickets for a bargain price." Lunamaria said.
"Who else did you invite?" Shinn questioned curiously.
Lunamaria calmed down then spoke, "No one yet. I'll probably ask Rey and Meyrin."
Shinn seemed to nod at this and then asked, "What time?"
"2000 hours." (8:00 P.M.) Lunamaria replied. After eating a brief lunch Lunamaria went off to do something, and Shinn was left alone again. He sat at the table pushing pieces of lettuce in his salad aside, going untouched.
"Are you just going to sit there and play with your food? Cause if you are I'll have it." Shinn saw the smiling face of one of his best friends, Vino Dupre. The brunette sat at the table and his blue eyes twinkled with delight when Shinn shoved the tray in front of him.
Lunamaria for some unknown reason had decided to invite him over Vino and his other friend, Yolant Kent. Shinn had spotted his dark skinned friend with gray eyes earlier that day in the ship's hangar where the gundams were held. It made him feel bad, especially since both Yolant and Vino were big fans of Lacus Clyne, and Shinn was not.
Vino munched on the salad along with some meat substance that Shinn did not recognize, and he doubted Vino knew what it was either. Vino was currently distracted with the food, and Shinn took his leave without much of a problem.
"Shinn, are you going to the concert?" He turned to see the dark-haired female with hair almost exactly like Lunamaria's but longer, and gray eyes that look similar to her sisters.
"Probably." Shinn said.
Her hair was worn in pigtails and she sighed. "I was thinking about it, but I felt really bad. I'll probably give my ticket to Yolant or Vino. But I really can't choose."
The guilt overwhelmed him, "I'll give mine to Yolant. Give yours to Vino." And with that, Shinn Asuka wasn't going to the concert, but perhaps this was a good thing for what was to happen next was very unexpected…

"In this quiet night, I'm waiting for you…" There was spotlight on stage, focusing on the songstress, Lacus Clyne. Lunamaria sat in the audience dressed in casual wear, along with her friends Rey Za Burrel a long haired blonde, Vino Dupre, and Yolant Kent. Apparently Shinn and Meyrin had handed their tickets over to Lacus Clyne's two biggest fans.
One thing that particularly caught Lunamaria's eye was the empty seat in the front row, Lacus Clyne's gaze continued to fall there, hide it as she might… throughout the concert. Lacus made a small speech about avoiding war, then continued onto her next song. Suddenly screams sounded from behind the two large theater doors. Everyone started whispering and turned to look about. "What happened?" Vino hissed.
Lunamaria and Rey remained calm, from military experience. "Please everyone remain calm." Lacus looked beautiful in her blue, purple, and pink dress. Her hair was curled and pulled back, "We will fix this situation." She said.
Gunshots sounded and more screams, then the audience screamed as well, standing up and panicking. "Pleas-" Lacus Clyne's voice was cut off and everyone saw what happened next.
A mysterious figure clamped their hand over her mouth and his arm came around her waist. The pink-haired girl's eyes widened and she struggled, her cries were muffled. He dragged her away into the darkness of the backstage.
The audience continued to panic, "Rey calm the audience down. I'll go after Lacus." Lunamaria said and Rey nodded.
They ran off in separate directions, Backstage Lunamaria drew her gun but the captor and Lacus was nowhere to be found.

A mysterious brunette female with bangs and purple eyes stood in a ship. She wore an elite red jacket, a pilot of ZAFT.
"Joule team, come in!" The screen in the ship named the Orion lit up. A man's figure appeared on screen.
"Affirmative Captain, we have your transmission." A male known as the Commander of the ship spoke. He had familiar chin length white hair and dark blue eyes, he wore a white uniform.
"Lacus Clyne has been kidnapped! Your mission is to go and retrieve, her and leave her captors alive we want answers!" The Captain spoke.
The Commander received the specifics and replied, "Affirmative, over and out." the screen finally went black. "All hands to the bridge! We're going to save Lacus Clyne." He yelled, "YES COMMANDER!" The soldiers saluted.
