Chapter 7 - Reaching Destiny Island
Cagalli's heart had never thumped so hard before. Cagalli finally said, " Athrun, I think I 'd better pack my luggage." And Cagalli pushed Athrun away. Cagalli walked off. Before she could reach her cubicle, Athrun held her hands and said shyly, " May I help you pack your luggage?" He went on, " I finished packing mine yesterday."
Cagalli smiled and nodded her head, " Sure, why not?" Hand in hand, they walked to Cagalli's cubicle. Lacus was in there too. She sat on Cagalli's bed and smiled, " I hope you don't mind me resting on your bed, do you?" She continued, " Kira went to get some drinks, he will be coming back later. And the captain says we are reaching Destiny Island in an hour's time."
Athrun said enthusiastically, " Whoa, that's great news! Cagalli is getting sea-sick." Cagalli elbowed Athrun and said, " No, he was just joking. Have you finished packing your luggage?" Lacus nodded her head. She waved her hand and smiled, " Kira! Over here!"
Kira came into the room. He looked at Athrun, and then shifted his eyes to Cagalli. He looked down at their hands. Cagalli and Athrun let go of each other's hand immediately. Kira laughed as he patted Athrun's shoulder.
Kira couldn't stop smiling. He said to Athrun, " Oh pal, you going out with my sister?" Cagalli and Athrun blushed. Lacus tried to stop Kira from questioning.
She said gently, " Kira, where are the drinks? I am thirsty!"
Kira handed a can of Coke to Lacus and said, " Let's go, Lacus. We shan't be the light bulbs here."
Athrun shouted, " Wait, Kira, I need to ask you something!" Kira turned his head and looked at Athrun.
Athrun asked, embarrassed, " What do you mean by light bulbs? You mean that kind that shines in the dark?" Athrun took a deep breath.
Kira laughed mockingly, " WHAT? You are so … forget it. Check it yourself!" He sounded kind of annoyed. Cagalli was already starting to pack her stuffs. Athrun looked at her.
Cagalli groaned, " Help me." Athrun nodded her head.
Cagalli said mockingly, " Why that expression?"
Athrun scratched his head and said, " I was just thinking about the light bulb." He sighed, " Cagalli, can you tell me what it is? I am dying to know."
Cagalli gave a faint smile. " Think! You need to use your brains sometimes. Or they will become rusty."
