Disclaimer scene: Extra Silly part III

Chibi'sapphire, still with the four boys from Shohoku high, entered the house of Hisahi Hirai that located at 'cannot be mention place'. If you can see it clearly, the four boys face had some bruises. "It was all your fault, fox!" Hanamichi hissed angrily at Kaede. "Baka! It was your fault," he said nonchalantly making the red haired boy burning in anger. "Both of you is in the fault here! You two just went to the basketball court and settled things between you guys and make us both involved in it!" This time, it was Mitsui who hissed angrily at them. "By the way Rukawa, why is your face is less hurt than us?" said Miyagi all of the sudden making the two boys wondered as well. "If you guys had that much free time to talk, help me find where Hirai is!!" come chibi's voice whispering angrily at them. "Anyway, chibi-chan, I don't see anything in this house that connected to GS," said Mitsui. "Yeah, and it full of music awards and golden CD in framed," added Miyagi. "It said here, Hirai Ken CD single platinum," Kaede read the title below the frame and Chibi stayed quiet until… "Keso!! That Dearka!! He gave the wrong address!! My 100 dollars went to waste!" Then, the door suddenly burst open. "Hey… what are you guys doing in my house?" said the familiar 'pop star song' singer. Chibi pull out a singing board out of nowhere as she sweat-dropped, "Want your autograph?"

End!


Chapter Seven


Meer, with a bright smiled on her face walked in the Zelco Magz co., a very popular magazine company as she humming a song. Just looking at her face, one will know she is in a good mood. She waves at her fans that are at the lobby of the building that waving at her like mad and some just gasping at her. She has a photo shoot and interview about her next film that she had accepted. She was informed that it will be double interview and she just loves making new friends. Maybe that explain why she was in a good mood.

"Hello Meer, thank you for coming today," the auburn hair woman said as she hug her happily.

Meer returned the hug and still with a smiled plastering on her lips, "I'm happy to be here, Talia-san."

"Are you ready for the interview? Later on we will do the photo shoot."

Meer nodded, "Sure. Where is my partner, Heilen?" she beamed excitedly.

Talia frowned, "Heilen?"

"Yes, your secretary told me so… that my partner name is Heilen. So, where is she?"

Talia let out a laugh after a while to think. "Oh no, dear. She must have misread the name. His name is Heine, the top model from Eternal agency."

She gasped as she let out a small squeaked. "I have to do a photo shoot with that flirt?"

"You know, it's not good talking about people behind their back," said a familiar voice huskily behind her, his lips almost touches her neck making her shivered slightly.

She jump forwards abruptly and then look at the gold hair man who giving her his most charming smiled ever. "What the hell are you doing, Heine?!"

He just walk pass her, smiling slyly towards her while Meer just glared at him. He just ignored it while he gave Talia a hug and a peck on her cheek, making the woman blush. "Talia-san… may I say that you still look lovely as ever."

"You never change, Heine. Anyway, let take a sit here, shall we?" she said as she motions them to take a sit at the couch and they nodded, taking their sit.

"Don't you ever cross this line," she warned the man as her hands showing the line from the couch cushion.

He smirked, "If I ever do cross it?"

She smirked back, "I kick your 'little thing' hard so you can't continue your blood line ever!" she threaten the man.

Talia looked at the both of them with amused. She never knew them knowing each other and never knew they behave like this towards each other. It was almost like they had been enemy since the day they were born.

"Do it, if you can," he said as he moves closer to her, trying to irritate the girl.

"I swear by the name of my great-great-great-great ancestor that I will you freaking Jerk!!" she warned him again with much of afford to make her voice sounds firm, no squeaky.

Talia coughed as she get her things ready on her hands and her voice recorders place on the table in front of her, "Shall we start now?"

Meer nodded while her eyes still eyeing the man besides her so he didn't get any closer. Heine just let out a small chuckle.

"You both knew each other?" was her first questions, though it is not what the original drabbles of questions that she had wrote down on her small scrapbook.

Meer quickly shook her head, "No!"

"Yes!" he smirked at her frowned face. "A year ago," he added.

Talia let out a nervous chuckle when she noticed the looks on Meer face and she decided not to touch anything about the story of their first meeting. Must be too much of first meeting that made her hated him that much. "So… about your next film. Meer…"

"Yes, about that," she beamed excitedly before Talia finishes her sentence, "This is the first time I take the role as a ghost."

The auburn-hair woman(is that the colour of her hair?) just sweat dropped, seeing the black-hair girl in front of her explaining things to her excitedly, "A ghost? So, this film is a horror genre?"

"Yes and add a thriller genre to it too. Because this is about a girl who died in a young age for she'd been murdered by her brother and her soul is wandering to find the one who killed her."

"Funny though…" Meer and Talia look at Heine who smirking as he looking at his nails, "I'm the one who will kill you in the movie," he told them making Meer eyes widen.

"What?!!"

"I said… I'm the…"

"Not that, you stupid!! What do you mean you and the movie? What connections do you have with the film?" she asked him with curiosity.

He smirked again as his hand play with her long black haired. Meer slapped his hand hard while he just laughed, "Haven't you heard about the other cast? I'm part of the film cast, as a hero, of course!" he told her nonchalantly.

"You do?" asked Talia with interest as her hands moves faster writing down all their conversation.

"Yes, in fact… I am the brother who killed her before."

"So you will kill her twice?"

Heine nodded while Meer was about to faint. "No…No… this is not happening! I'm not going to do this!! No!!"

Heine put his hands around her shoulder, "Well, look at the bright sight. We both will be together about a few months until the movie is finish."

Meer glared at him, hard, "That is what I'm trying to avoid to, you bastard!! Let go of me!!"

Talia sighed as she watched them again, "This will be a long day…."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"So… how's thing going with you and Meer?"

Athrun looks at his father curiously. "You, call me here just to ask me that?"

"Can't I?" Patrick said nonchalantly to his son, making the boy feel a little bit irritated.

He was in his office just now before his father called for him. He was busy rescheduling his journal and he had finds a way to go to Junius Village at his most suitable time and that is on next week.

"You can do that at home, father… But since you asked, no… it's not," he answered him coldly.

Patrick nodded, "Okay… you may go now."

Athrun looked at his father, strangely. What was that all about? Summoning him to come to him and then with just a simple questions and its all over? He sighed and began to leave the office, but then he stopped. "Father… I was wondering if you could send Shiho next week for the meeting with Joule co."

Patrick looked at his son with raise brows, "Why is that? Shiho is my secretary."

"However, she is capable of doing this job. I don't know why she stills your secretary when she can be at higher level as Management Manager," he told his father with wondering glint on his eyes. "You know it yourself, how she does her work and always do it marvelously, yet you still let her remain as your secretary."

Patrick just shrugged, "I'll send her to you afterwards and just ask her to do anything you wish her to do," he told his son, avoiding the topic about Shiho. "Why can't you attend it yourself?"

"I have plans to do, I'm bringing mother to Junius… I already told you before, right?" he stared his father with a questioning looked.

"What for?"

"Hasn't Dr. Mwu explains to you about anything at all? Or perhaps, you just too busy to even concern about mother," he sarcastically said this to his father with a glared that show that he was serious.

Patrick dropped what he was doing and stared back at his son, "Look Athrun, we've been going through about this for three years. I'm concerned about Lenore, your mother…"

"But work come first," he cut his father words before his father went blabbering about his duty to the family and all. "You know what? I just had enough talking about this. I'm going back to my office," he said as he closed the door behind him before his father scolding him whatever he had in mind and went to his office.

Athrun groaned as he sat on his chair; dump all his files on his table that his secretary just gave to him and just stared at it without bothering to look at it. He was not in the mood to do his paper, so he decided to just sit back and relax as he massaging his forehead. His father was acting really weird. Calling him to come over to his office just to questions him about Meer. What the hell he was thinking about? He thought making him groaned again in frustration. He glanced at his watch, almost 7 p.m. and regarding how tired he was, he decided to call it quit for today. He will check on those files tomorrow. He open his door and spotted the longhair brunette was ready to knock on his door. Her eyes widen as she gasped a little bit, shocked.

"Athrun-san…" she spoke his name as she rubs her chest, gently.

"Shiho… what brings you here?"

"I was informed that you want to meet me," she explained to the man as she walked inside the office when he motions her to do so.

"Oh yes, about that…I want you to go to ORB and meet with Joule to set th…"

Before he managed to finish his sentence, Shiho blurted out nervously, "Set what?"

Athrun furrows his eyebrow, "To set the date about the deal between our company and his…"

Shiho nodded, "Oh…."

"What were you expecting me to say?" he asked her as he noticed the look of ease on her face.

Shiho shook her head, "Nothing," she answered him firmly. "Why sent me?"

"Because you are capable to do so and you know him and can handle his tempers well than I do."

Shiho shrugged, "But still…I'm just your father secretary, Athrun-san."

"Just think this is as a promotion to be the Management Manager at south branch," he told her. "I'll talk to my father about it later."

After he said that, he left her alone in his office. Shiho watched the closed door. I have to meet Joule again… It's only business deal right? But Joule… alone with him… talking business with him… doesn't hurt right? Right? No… I can't do this!! No…Shiho, you have to be more professional… This is your chance to be at the higher level…Yes! You can do this Shiho! But wait… what if…what if I mess things up? What if I'm alone with him at his office and I can't handle my feelings towards him anymore? That will be disaster right? Right? Her mind keeps going on and on until her cell phone ringing non-stop.

She groaned as she answered the call, "Shiho's here. Yes Kuzzey… what?! What do you mean we had an over budget?!" She shouted as she walked out from Athrun's office making several paired of eyes looking at her, shuddering. "Haven't I told you over and over again about it?!! Damn!" she yelled again as they eyed her until she walked inside the lift.

Shiho Hahnenfuss, known as Mr. Zala's personal secretary, respected by the worker in this north branch. Is not about the connections of her and the Zala but their head president, himself admired her. She's not some low-class secretary was the fact that been going on their mind.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Cagalli closed the door slowly as she give a last peek at the room where Lenore sleeps soundly after a whole day playing with her. She was tired playing with her. God! Does kid has lots of energy… However, the one who she was playing with is not a kid. She been force to become the baby, again… and they playing doll, playing tag, hide and seek, and then they ate their lunch. After that, they played again until she was tired and fallen a sleep. She was glad for she does not have more energy to keep up with Lenore.

"Cagalli-san…"

She jumps as she startled by the sudden voice. She looked at the red haired girl behind her who smiled at her apologetically. "Meyrin…"

"I'm sorry if I startled you. Do you see my sister? I don't see her since I get back from school," she asked her.

Cagalli frowned, "Ah! She's going out with Rey. Today is her day off after all," she said smiling at the girl who looked disappointed. "Is there something wrong, Meyrin?"

Meyrin shook her head, "He…en… nothing."

She eyed the red hair girl that began to walk away, "You want to have a tea with me?" she glanced at her watch, "Well, tea at nine p.m." she said jokingly making the girl smiled.

"Sure."

They went to the kitchen as Cagalli make their tea when Klueze suddenly snatch the teapot from her hand and insisting him to do it, making her shrugged and winked playfully at Meyrin. She just let out a small chuckle, watching the blond cuts the apple pie while Klueze besides her making sure she cuts it right. Cagalli just shook her head as she sigh with a small smile curving on her lip.

"Here, apple pie," she put the plate in front of Meyrin which she accepted it happily.

"Thanks."

Cagalli took a bite of the pie as she moaned with satisfaction, "Oh my god! Klueze, you must tell me the recipe," she said to him as she waves her spoon, "This is marvelous!"

"Unfortunately, this is my family secret recipe, "he told her with a smirked on his face.

Cagalli pouted, "Stingy!"

"Well, actually, all of his cooking is the family secret recipe," Meyrin whispered to her as the blond nodded.

"It just proves him being stingy," the blond mocked the half masked man as she stuck out her tongue just like a kid.

"I'm just protecting the tradition."

Cagalli pouted again as she took another bite of the pie and Meyrin chuckle again. Cagalli smiled, "Now, you look better," she told her, making the girl blushed.

"Eh?"

"Because, you looked so gloomy just now. Is there anything wrong? Sorry if I'm being nosy."

Meyrin shook her head immediately, "No… you are not. I'm just… having… having a bad day at school, that's all."

Cagalli raised her brows, "It has to do with boys?"

Meyrin blushed, "Ho…how…did…" she stammered, couldn't finish her sentence.

Cagalli smirked, "Once, I have lots of friend saying those line when they having a problem with boys. I just guessed and it hit a jackpot," she joked. "Man… I'm really good at guessing, I should go to the casino once in a while. What do you think, Klueze?"

The half masked man shook his head, "Don't involve me with anything that you girls planning to discuss or whatever," he said as he glanced at his baking cookies.

"You are no fun!" Then she turned back to Meyrin, "Nah… I'm just bluffing. I just guess cause I saw you with a sky blue haired boy outside when you coming back from school, when I'm playing tag with Lenore-san," she said the last sentence awkwardly.

Meyrin just smiled as her hands playing with the tea cup, she paused at a brief of moments before she decided to start a conversations between them, "Have…have you…expe…rience em..em… one sided love?" she stammered as she said it while her face shows a faint redness.

Cagalli giggled, "Yes I do… His name is Orga Sabnak."

Meyrin frowned, "He's the lead singer from alliance band…"

"That's why it is one sided love…"

Klueze who listen to their discussion couldn't hold any longer as he laughed out loud, "Man… that is good one," he said between his laughter.

Cagalli shook her head, "Don't bother him. So, do you mean you have a secret crush to that boy?"

Meyrin blushed hard as she nodded, "em.. yes…" he muttered silently.

"I don't know how to say this for I don't have any experience myself. But, what I do know is you could tell him your feelings. It doesn't matter if he rejects you; at least you have lifted the burden that you carried within you, right?"

"Yes, I intend to do so too. Unfortunately, I don't have the guts."

A faint smiled plastering on the blond lips as she realize Shiho must be feeling the way that the red haired girl feel when she decided to tell Yzak about her feelings. "Just go for it! I'm rooting for you… If he rejects you, he must be one blind man," she told the girl as she sipped her cold tea. "You don't need guts to do this thing. All you need is just a sincere feeling."

For a brief of moments, Meyrin stared while blinking to the woman in front of her. Cagalli widen her eyes as she raised her eyebrows, "What?"

Meyrin jumps form her seat and hugs Cagalli, making the blond chocked. She let go the hugged as she smiled, "Sorry… thank you, Cagalli-san. I feel much better!" She kissed her cheek lovingly and then ran out from the kitchen using the backdoors.

Cagalli blinked several times before she turned to face Klueze, "I just said something lame, aren't I?"

Klueze shrugged, "But the girl thinks it was brilliant."

"I'm good. I should apply to be a love counselor," she said nonchalantly and sipped her tea again and Klueze just snort.

"A counselor? You sure you can handle that?" said a familiar voice making her startled a bit.

Her eyes caught familiar emerald orbs that stared at her amber and giving her his gorgeous smiled. Well… he really has a gorgeous smile. "Athrun-san…"

"I was looking for you, glad I found you. Is this your favorite place?" he asked her with a joke tone of voice.

Cagalli chuckle, "Yes, so I can steal one of his family secret recipes," she jokes as she glanced at Klueze playfully.

He snorted again as he puts a cup of coffee in front of Athrun, "Try it, if you can."

Cagalli laughed again as her right hands on her stomach and the other one covering her mouth. He loves talking with Klueze; he was kind despite of his look and he always playing along with her. Whenever she needs a friend to talk too, besides Shiho and Luna, he just go and bothered him with her nonsense talk while the man listen to her without making a fuss. He even baked her chocolate cookies (she personally asked him to bake her cookies) and stored them for her if she happens to bother him again.

"Why were you looking for me, Athrun-san?"

Athrun was snapped from his thought; he hopes the blond didn't realize that he was staring at her, "Oh…yeah… about that. I'm going to take my mother next week, to Junius. You will be coming along, right?"

Cagalli frowned while her hands playing with her spoon then her eyes widen, "Ah… about Lenore-san memories. Yes… yes, I'll come."

"You don't have to sound so nervous," he said as he chuckled. "I'm not going to eat you if you forgot about it."

"He only grills you alive," Klueze interjected.

Cagalli shrugged, "Are you trying to be funny?"

Athrun laughed looking at his two employees. Just looking at them talking and laughing really brightens his days. Despite of his tiring day at work, listen to them really helps him, mentally. Being in the circle of rich people, talking about business, economics and sometimes politics make him bored out of his life. He rather sticks around with commoner and just talking what he feels like talking.

"By the way Cagalli, do you know how to play musical instrument?"

She dropped her spoon, startled by the sudden questioned, "No!" she lied, firmly. "Why do you ask?"

"Why do you sound so nervous?"

"Am I?"

Athrun eyed his employee with curiosity, "You… em… just forget it."

Cagalli sigh feeling at eased without his employer noticing it. He then stared at her, making her nervous again, "What is it?!" she asked him, annoyed. She does not care if he is her boss, staring at people with no reasons is rude!

"I think I saw you at my friends wedding," he told her, still staring at her. "But then, it couldn't possibly be you because you said you were going to visit your cousin when I invited you to join me, right?"

Was that a statement or was that a question? "Yes…"

There was a silence filling up the room, making her hard to breath. Athrun put his elbows on the table and his hands supporting his chin as he gave her a warm smiled and his eye was soften and making his emerald orbs glittered, and Cagalli froze at her seat.

Dub!

What was that? She thought as she put her hand on her chest. I swear I could feel my heart beating loudly once! She thought, and feels the heat on her face starting to grow.

"Are you okay?"

Cagalli startled as she smiled sheepishly, "Yes..."

Athrun frowning slightly, "Are you sure? You look like you have a fever?"

Cagalli waves her hands recklessly as she forced a chuckle, "Really, nothing to bother…" Man! What does he did to her? Making her nervous and all.

Athrun sipped his warm coffee as he open one of his eyes slightly, observing the blond who looking down on her lap aimlessly with amused glint on his eyes. After a moment of thinking, he concluded that Cagalli is one interesting person to observe. Everything about her is…different! The way she talks, the way her hands move so delicate yet a little bit rough. The way she walks with decent, like rich people does. He rarely sees a commoner such as her. However, sometimes she can be so hotheaded. He caught her once when she engaged in conversation with Shiho at the garden, she talk with the brunette with so much of enthusiasm, arguing some fact. However, he doesn't catch the title of their argument, that making her acted that way. He curved a soft smile; she is indeed interesting.

"So, when will we leave to Junius?" she suddenly asked him, breaking the silence.

"Next week on Monday."

"Oh… three days away, I should prepare things for Lenore-san first thing in the morning."

"That early? Does my mother need a lot of things that make you to pack everything early?" he asked her, puzzled.

Cagalli sent him a secret smiled, "You don't want to know."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Man… Calm down Shiho," the blond hissed on her cell phones as she rubs her poor ear when she answered the phones and received a blow from the brunette. My poor ear…

She can hear Shiho inhaled as much as oxygen she can possibly get and let it out slowly, "Okay… I'm calm," she told her.

"Good… so slowly, tell me what is bothering you?"

"I'm going to ORB next week…"

Cagalli frowned, "Okay… so? What is it makes you so excited? Like you never been there before."

"I'm going to handle a business deal with Joule!" she shouted again making cagalli winced a bit.

"I can tell you are excited…" she said it with sarcasm.

"I'm not excited, I'm nervous!"

Cagalli sighed, "You met him before right?"

"But that is when you with me…" she said, Cagalli could tell she was pouting by the sound of her voice.

Cagalli change her phone position to her left ear, "Then? What is it to be the nervous about?" man… I should be applying this love counselor job…seriously, I should.

"I'm going to be alone with him… in his office."

Cagalli shrugged, "Em… Shiho, shouldn't his secretary be with him during the meeting? You know, to write down what they should during that time?"

"What are you implying?"

"That you would not be alone with him," she answered her a little carefully so she doesn't hurt her pride or whatever.

There's a minute paused then she can hear Shiho slapped something, she bet it's her forehead, "You are damn right! I'm too nervous to think clearly. Yes… yes!! I'm secretary myself! How can I miss out the important things of being a secretary?"

Cagalli nodded, "Good for you…"

"But…"

"But?"

"What… what if there's some circumstances that needs her secretary to be absent that day? What if… what if…I commit the same mistake?"

Cagalli frowned, "What the same mistake?" She can hear clearly that Shiho squeaked, "Ops…" under her breath. "What mistake?!" she asked her again, well more like demanded.

"Em…em… well, you know… that time… the wedding day… I … I … by mistake, I…" she stammered.

"I what?"

"I kissed him! By Mistake!!! Okay… note the 'by mistake'!!"

"Then…Oh wait, let me guess… You ran away afterwards, feeling humiliated by it then called me to meet you at your car made me wondering why?" she said, mocking her friend.

"Well… actually… I ran because he… he… kissed me back."

"Isn't that good?" she asked, a little bit puzzled by her friends love life.

"No, it is not! You know, I'm the one who broke up with him and then I kissed him… but instead of pushing me away, he kissed me back! I'm so damn confuse!" she said them so fast making Cagalli blink several times, trying to catch what she was saying. "Why… why does he do that? I mean… like… he made my head twisted!"

Cagalli sighed, "How about take this chance to set things right? To be honest with you…" she paused as she inhaled her breath, "I'm sick and tired of you guys stubbornness when obviously you guys still love each other! Make things right before I throw both of you at the oceans full of sharks! Get it?!" she shouted, let it out in one breath.

She heard the brunette sigh, "I hope so too… I know about his fiancé after I broke up with him. I felt guilty not to trust him… but how can I trust him if he hides that important thing from me," she sighed again, and added, "But, partly I'm at fault for not listening to him when he wants to explain things."

"Whatever Shiho, I just want to let you know I'm rooting for you. If he happens to hurt you again, I will push him down from Mount Everest," she jokes to lighten up the mood. "Besides, he still loves you too. Things will work out eventually. I'm sure of it."

"Thanks… To think you never had boyfriend before, Attha," Shiho said with giggled.

See… she acts like him already…What love can do to a person…

"Whatever Hahnenfuss! Maybe soon, Joule!" she teased her and it was her turns to giggled.

"You acting like 16, we are already 23 Calli."

"What? It is still fun," she protested. "em… Shiho."

"What?"

"You are secretary, right?"

"Yes."

"Why did you handle such an important deal?" she asked her, with keen.

"Well, I soon will be the manager in south branch," she explained. "Though, I had apply for that positions long ago but Mr. Zala declined it," she added.

"Why?"

She can hear the brunette laugh, more like mischievous laugh, "Because I'm a capable secretary of doing his works excellently. He wanted to keep me for himself for I reduced lots of his works that he had to do. See… I am a marvelous secretary. Only exist in once in a lifetime," she said proudly.

"Yeah… whatever," she said with boredom obvious in her tone.
