Steps in Better Kidnapping
By: Eina
A/N: Firstly, I would like to thank all those who reviewed to that lame chapter... I really suck in romantic things... I haven't experienced one yet.... Sorry... and... yes I found an inspiration, now! My trip to Mt. Makiling in Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines (ei, mga ka- bansa ko!!!! La lang....)... and now... I have two things that I could be proud of.... One: I think I have lost my Acrophobia (fear of heights), and Two: I HATE TREKKING!!!!! And lastly: Oddly enough... I did enjoy the trip.... I really don't know why....
Step 4
Never Fall For The Victim's Best Friend
What happened that day? Cagalli couldn't help but remember that day... she was not even sure if it was a dream. They kissed. But... why? She sighed and decided not to remember that scene. But she couldn't help but notice that after that event, Daniel aka Athrun has been ignoring her, completely.
"Ok class, since we're about to discuss environmental science... I have decided that we, as a class, should go on a field trip." Their biology professor announced happily. He was really hoping that his class would be a little enthusiastic about his announcement.
"Uhm sir... aren't fieldtrips supposed to be given for elementary students?" Kira asked politely.
"I know... but this is not an ordinary fieldtrip. We're going to the Philippines!" Their professor's smile widened more.
Cagalli jerked. The Philippines? Even if she died of begging her father wouldn't allow her to go halfway around the world.
"Cool." Kira smiled. "I always wanted to go somewhere in Asia... wait, aren't there terrorists in the Philippines?"
"Oh don't worry, we'll be far away from those terrorists." Their professor assured them.
"I can't wait to go there." Mirrialla gave out a tiny squeal. "How about you?" She directed her question to Cagalli who was looking very pale, "What's wrong?"
"Do you think my father would allow me to go there? It's like, halfway around the world!" Cagalli glared at her.
"Don't worry Ms. Yula, I am assuring you that even your father's decision could not affect this trip." Their professor smiled.
"Sir, why is that?" Lacus asked.
"This is not optional. Every one of you should submit a report about our trip to the Philippines. Besides, our school has been going there annually and every trip has been safe." Their professor said happily.
Orb"The Philippines? You're kidding, right???" Lord Ozumi laughed, "First my daughter's engaged to a terrorist and now she's going to the Philippines?"
"But their school has been going there every year, besides I really remember you saying that there will be no problem about Asian fieldtrips." His trusty assistant, whom I haven't baptized with a decent name yet, said.
"The Philippines is filthy" (ouch!) Lord Ozumi laughed.
"Sir may I remind you that I came from that country." His assistant said.
"Oh... I'm sorry." Lord Ozumi apologized.
"I know where they are going, sir, and I assure you that it is perfectly safe and that there will be no kind of filth in that place." He assured the worried king.
He sighed and signed the permit. He had no choice but to allow Cagalli to go, besides her grade is also at stake.
Back In England"Come on, Cagalli." Mirrialla cried, "Pack your clothes, it's not everyday that we go to Asia."
"What's the use? I don't even know if I am allowed to go there..." Cagalli sighed as she curled up her bed. She hated being a princess; in fact she hates her life. She sometimes wished that she could be a normal citizen of Orb just like her twin brother, Kira.
"You know, I have been dying to ask you something...." Mir smiled at her.
"What is it?" Cagalli grunted.
"Well... what did you and Daniel do at the greenhouse last week?" She asked.
"What?" Cagalli sat up at her bed. There could only be one person who could know this.
"Well, Dearka told me that Daniel was with you that day. Remember, we were supposed to have a study fling at the library?" She smiled as she sat down beside her. "So I ended up studying with, Dearka instead."
"Oh my god, I'm sorry...." Cagalli apologized.
"No don't worry..." Mirrialla blushed, "it went fine."
Cagalli looked suspiciously at her. Mirrialla was referring to Dearka as a normal human being, now. Maybe they finally settled their problems.
"What? It' just that I haven't really noticed that Dearka was ok." Mirrialla blushed even more.
"uh-huh..." Cagalli smiled at her. Then she remembered Mir was asking her about the greenhouse incident. "By the way, I jut asked him if he could tutor me and stuff."
"Oh." Mirrialla looked slightly depressed. "I was just wondering. Dearka seemed really skeptical when he told me that you two were going for a walk."
"So... spill everything that happened between you two." Cagalli asked. This was going to be nice. Everyone has been waiting for the day Dearka and Mirrialla would finally stop arguing.
"Nothing." Mirrialla laughed. "He was really silent. He just kept reading his books. The only time he spoke was when he said that he appreciated that I went with him to the library."
Cagalli nodded. Mirrialla seemed so happy. Maybe she was just waiting for Dearka to notice her for being her and not the fiancée he was forced to have.
-Knocks-
"Hey." Dearka opened the door. "Oh hey Cagalli, I think I saw you're bodyguard here... he was uhm..."
"Never mind them." Cagalli laughed. She sometimes wonders why Mwu cannot act as her guard.
"You guys going to the trip?" Dearka asked.
"Yup." Mirrialla nodded and looked at Cagalli.
"What? I don't know!" Cagalli glared at Mir.
"Hey, you guys want to grab something to eat?" Dearka asked.
"Nope. I decide to rot here in this place today." Cagalli smiled. "Mir, your stomach's rumbling, go, eat."
"What?"
Ice Cream Parlor"Thanks." Mirrialla smiled as Dearka handed over a scoop of Caramelo flavored ice cream.
Mirralla glared at her. "Oh fine, I have no intentions of rotting wit you today."
"Good." Cagalli smiled. Dearka smiled. He looked into Mir. He really didn't know if he was to continue this relationship with her. What would her father say if he knew that his daughter's fiancé was a terrorist? His father could be destroyed.
"What's the matter with you?" Mir asked.
"You know, I think we should end this fiancée thing." Dearka gulped. He was sure he has delivered it smoothly. But what he didn't know is how would Mir react.
Mirrialla laughed. "How? I have been wanting to say that for the past year."
"It's simple, you know. Why didn't you tell me?" Dearka asked. He was hoping that Mirrialla would answer that question properly.
"I have a father issue." Mirrialla said as she ate her ice cream.
"Oh..." Dearka sighed. That wasn't the answer he was hoping for. Maybe, Mir didn't like him at all and was just following her father obediently.
"So... that's it?" Mir asked. She could see the disappointment in Dearka's face. But, how could she tell him that she really like him... no, wait. She didn't like him. She had feelings for him. But why was Dearka ending their so-called relationship.
Derka nodded as he sipped his ice tea. Maybe they were better of as friends.
- Back in the Dorm –
"Mir, wa are you crying about?" Cagalli asked sleepily as she turned their lamp on.
"Nothing." Mir tried to stop her sobbing.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you're sobbing for no reason. If you are, you mut be mental." Cagalli yawned again. "Oh crap, it's 3 in the morning."
"Just go to sleep." Said Mir, who was still trying to control her tears.
"You're crying woke me up this early, so you better tell or else none of us will go to sleep." Cagalli warned her.
"Fine." Mir said as she sat at her bed wiping her tears off her face. "it's just that I am so stupid not to notice that he likes me!"
"Weh?" Cagalli stared at her. She knew who the he was. It was Dearka. But she couldn't understand why Mir was calling herself stupid.
"He told me that he liked me even before my father told me that I was engaged to him." Cagalli listened to Mir, who was again using the He language. "Now, he wants to end the fiancée thing because he think that I am being forced to be with him."
"You didn't tell him?" Cagalli yawned.
Mirrialla shook her head.
"Go to sleep." Cagalli yawned again, "Maybe it's just a dream. We'll deal with it tomorrow."
"Ok." Mirrialla smiled as they both went to bed.
To Be Continued...
I am getting really bad at this! And I am really sorry for that. In case you guys didn't understand my ramblings, here's the explanation. Dearka set Mirrialla free (I know you guys know what I am talking about) because he didn't want their father's friendship to be ruined and he didn't want to hurt Mir if she found out that he was actually a member of a terrorist group. Oh yeah, if you're wondering why Nicol and Yzak haven't been in the past two chapters... it's because I don't know how to put them....
Thanks for all the reviews anyway....
