"What is it Nicol"Kira asked looking at him

"um.."Nicol hesistated at first but then spoke again"Its about Prince Athrun's dish..."

"what about prince Athrun's dish"Kira asked getting interested in the topic

"Well During the competition I saw something"

"what do you mean?"

"well..uh I accidentally saw Mark put something in his broth"

"what is this 'something' Nicol?"

"um..uh.."Nicol stammered

"well?what is that something"

"I didnt see it clearly but I think it was a capsule or a tablet Kira-sama"

"and you say Mark Leiber was the one who putted it?Are you sure about this"

"Yes,Kira-sama...I am not the kind of person who makes up lies and things such as this"Nicol said sincerely

"Very well...I will see to it that Mark Leiber be dismissed immediately in this premises and Prince Athrun back in this competition...you may go now,Nicol"Kira said getting a piece of paper and a pen while Nicol stood up from his chair"and Nicol,thank you for you honest explanation"

"It was nothing Kira-sama,I just cant help competing with a cheater thats all"Nicol smirked

"I see you have some quite of attitude there"Kira chuckled


"Athrun,my prince,your father calls for you"Leonore said "He wants to introduce to you a fine young lady"she smiled"Im sure you'll like her"

"huh?"

Patrick,the King ,his father came to him but he was not alone he was with a young lady about his age or maybe a year younger than him

"My dear Prince...allow me to introduce to you Princess Meer"

"It is an honor to be able to meet his highness,Prince Athrun"Meer said bowing slightly

"uh..yeah..honor,Princess Meer"Athrun said absently still his thoughts are preoccupied by Cagalli,Kari and the heart shaped necklace he saw in the princess room

As Meer moved her pink curly locks,it revealed a necklace with heart shaped pendant with a pink gem in the middle it was far different from Kari but still it caught Athrun's attention

"Wait"Athrun looked at the necklace that was around princess Meer neck.

"oh..."

"Who gave you this?"Athrun asked suddenly,scaring poor Meer

"uh..I..ah,Its a gift from a friend of mine...it has been a long time though"Meer smiled a little

"Kari?"Athrun suddenly blurted out suddenly

"excuse me?"Meer looked at him with a wierd look"Kari?"

"no..no sorry,I ah just need some rest for a while Im not feeling well,you see..forgive me father,mother..excuse me Princess Meer"Athrun said as he slowly walked away from them.Leonore looked worriedly at her son.he never acted this way infront of a lady,such as the Princess

"excuse our princes rudeness,Princess Meer,you see,he has just arrive back from the central country,regarding Princess Cagalli's events"Patrick said looking at Meer

"Its okay your higness,I can see the prince is quite exhausted...from all the competitions which my cousin has also been participating"Meer said smiling at her(lol her cousin is Yunna)

"I see"Patrick nodded


Cagalli sighed once again,once more she was alone in her room,Princess Lacus,her best friend had left to take a rest,Lady Shiho and Lady Mirr were also unavailabe to keep her company also her brother who was busy writing and talking to someone.Cagalli silently walked to the side table near the window and touched the music box,she winded it up and it played a sweet melody.she stared at the small mannequins that were dancing along with the music,turning around and around,altough it looked simple and still,she can imagine them dancing beautifully swaying along the music.

"Athrun..."Cagalli absently mumbled

Flashback

"uh...Princess do mind to take dance with me?"Athrun asked giving a small bow

"uh...I dont know how to dance the waltz Prince Athrun.."Cagalli said softly

"dont worry hime...I'll try my best to teach you...now may I ask once again if you care to dance with me?"Athrun said bowing in a gentleman manner and offering his had which Cagalli took...Athrun led himself and the princess to the dance floor and slowly dance with grace with the continuously flowing waltz music...

"Step...close. step close.. I guess your getting the hang of it Hime..."Athrun said smiling at her which made Cagalli flush red a little she tried to look away so that Athrun would not notice it but he noticed it before she looked away...for some reason that blush looked familiar...they dance freely along with the music and Cagalli was learning quickly

"Again...step close...step..."Athrun said before turning her and smiling at her"you did well Princess..."Athrun said

"uh-ah..thank you Prince Athrun.."Cagalli said slightly blushing

"it was a pleasure to be able to dance with your Princess...I should be the one thanking..."Athrun said

End of Flashback

She smiled a little and touched her pendant.


"Very well Mr.Leiber?"Kira looked at Mark seriously"I have fully explained the rules of this competion that no,such as the thing you put in the other candidate is allowed here!You all have to compete fair and square"

"My dearest apology,Kira-sama"Mark said shooking his head

"immediate dismissal shall be your consequence,by tomorrow morning,you are needed to leave this place...Im sorry to sat this but you have broken the rules"Kira looked at him,who just shook his head"I have already sent a letter to Prince Athrun telling him to come back in exchange of you and I shall inform the princess about this,you may go and take a rest now Mark"

"Hai..."Mark said sadly


"excuse me Prince Athrun, you have a letter from the central country"the maid said handing him a letter

"eh?from the central country?"Athrun looked at the letter then to the maid who gave him the letter

"hai,a messenger came by and told me to give this to you,my lord"

"I see,thank you,Mayu"Athrun said opening the letter

"Eh?"Athrun looked at words written in the letter"I-I what!"Athrun was filled with joy he was going back to the central country,Oh joy!"Mother,Father"Athrun quickly ran to his parents,altough it was unusual to see a prince running frantically.

"Athrun,what are you doing?"his father yelled looking at his panting prince.

"What is it My prince?"Leonore walked towards his prince

Athrun smiled like a five year old boy and showed the letter from Kira to his parents

"Is this true?"Patrick looked at Athrun then to letter then to Athrun again

"Oh my!"Leonore smiled at him and hugged him


"Cagalli?"Kira knocked on her door"Cagalli,I have something important to tell you.Cagalli?"Still no one responded.Kira got worried and twist her door knob, surprised it was not locked"Cagalli?"Kira looked inside her room only to find the Princess sleeping while listening to the music box.He smiled and close the door silently avoiding to wake the blonde coz if he did,the castle might not withstand Cagalli tormentful yelling or her voice booming against the palace walls.'I guess I can tell her tomorrow when Athrun is here'Kira said walking away from her room

'Is he gone?'Cagalli opened her eyes a little and looked around scanning if Kira was still at the door'yes,operation pretend asleep is complete'Cagalli said to herself as she brought out her DS gameboy out of nowhere and started playing.


The next day,Athrun arrive quite early as expected,Kira was still in his Pj's when he arrive.Mana offered Athrun with some early breakfast.Dearka was already awake and was wandering along the large foyer with Yzak,who was still yawning

"why the hell am I being dragged along by you here again ?"Yzak asked for the millionth time

"Because I heard Lady Shiho and Lady Mirr usually stay there in the garden every morning while waiting for Princess Cagalli and Princess Lacus,who know we might see them"Dearka said putting his hands at the back of his head while Yzak grunted remembering how Shiho ignored him.

"I dont even want to show my face to her..."Yzak said turning around and walking back"see ya Dearka...Im going back to bed Im not joining you and your stupid ideas"Yzak said but then Dearka pulled him by his collar at the back"ack!"

"Target is insight"Dearka said victoriously as he finally see the two Ladies in the garden chatting while they wait for their two other friends who are still in bed(they're early birds i'd say).Dearka walked closer to them so that he could hear what they were talking about while poor yzak was being dragged along.

"Hey Mirr,I heard from your father that your going to meet your fiancé some time this month?"Shiho asked while Dearka felt like falling apart to a thousand pieces after hearing the 'fiancé' thing .

"yeah...I guess but my father said he was attending something ..I really dont know yet..but also there was a possibility that I will marry Tolle if he dosent come back...its pretty weird "Mirr said looking at the butterfly flying across them.

"I see same as me.hey what do you think of the blonde guy who talked to you yesterday?"Shiho suddenly asked

"well...I dont know his hair..was like the-I-defy-the-gravity thing.I dont know,I didnt seem to get along with him much."

Yzak muffled his laughter as he saw Dearkas face"Got along yeah right!"

"how bout you, what do you think of the silver haired guy,he seemed kinda...?"

"dont even ask...he looked like he's a pain in the butt so I ignored him."Shiho said

"your mean...you know that"Mirr said looking at Shiho who was giggling

this time Dearka laughed pointing at Yzak who was starting to boil"pain in the butt huh?I'll show you pain in the butt when I kick your butt!"yzak mumbled charging the ladies who still didnt notice the two lads presence,Yzak once again being pulled by Dearka on the collar which caused Yzak to stop and choke

"What the heck are you doing?"Dearka asked looking at yzak who was pissed off

"Cant you see Im gonna show her a piece of my mind!"Yzak hollered roughly

"Yzak! thats a lady!"Dearka said restraining Yzak from doing anything bad to a girl(such a gentleman?)

"bah! I dont care!"yelled back the platinum guy

"Yzak?Dearka?"a voice said from thier back said"What are you guys doing here spying on the Dukes daughters?"

"Shut up for a while Zala while I give them and Dearka a piece of...my..."Yzak trailed off and stared at Athrun"Oh My God Zala! what the hell are you doing here I thought you went back to your place?"Yzak said as Dearka let go of him

"Well..its a long story...guys..."Athrun said sighing

"anyways its good your back!"Dearka patted his back and walked away"gotta get some breakfast!"

"darn that Dearka..."Yzak mumbled and looked at Athrun then walked away while Athrun chuckled and looked at the chatting girls.

Not long enough the candidates were all scattered along the corridors wondering what the next challenge is,Mark Leiber had already left this early morning accompanied by a carriage back to his home.Kira on the otherhand was talking to Athrun fully explaining everything that happend to him.and Cagalli?well lets say she still in bed tossing her self from left to right,mumbling things and words barely inaudilbe.Lacus Mirr and Shiho tried waking her up unfortunately all their plans didnt work,they were about to give up until a small evil smile came across the pink princess lips and leaned closer to her ear whispering something which made Cagalli sit up immedaitely with a slight red tint on her cheeks.

"What!"Cagalli yelled looking around while the three of them were giggling

"wha-what did you say to her Lacus?"Shiho asked laughing

"nothing particular"lacus giggled while Mirr muffled her laughter.

"Oh! why you!"Cagalli stood up raising her fist up in the air while the three girls scrambled out of her room like little kids laughing.Cagalli stopped at the door and smiled a little.

"see you in the garden Caggy!"Shiho yelled down the corrigdor

Afternoon came and the candidates were all gathered in the garden talking to Kira as he explains the challenge. Cagalli kept on yawning while she was talking to her friends.

"are you sure about this Cagalli?I mean its Archery"Mirr asked concernly

"No biggie Mirr...an arrow wouldnt hurt them"Cagalli smiled

"but I will feel sorry for them you know..."lacus said looking at the 26 candidates left"i mean they could get hurt if your arrow hits them..."

"uh..not that you mention it I dont know what will happen if I miss the ring targets on their head!"

"Cagalli! lets start! "kira said calling the his blonde sister

"oh..I guess their going to start! Wish me luck guys,I just hope i dont hit them anywhere!"Cagalli ran to Kira dragging her dress

"good afternoon gentlemen"Cagalli said panting slightly ,greeting the candidates still she didnt notice the blue haired guy.

"get your gloves ready Cagalli,and gentlemen wear your rings!"Kira chuckled looking at them(honestly,They look like idiots haha its better than just apples)with the targets.

"All set Kira"Cagalli said just adjusting her shooting gloves and arm guard a little and raising her recurved bow and practiced aiming for a minute.

"do you think the princess is good at archery?"asked the young candidate to his friend

"i hope so...coz Im still too young to die you know..."the other candidate trembled

"yeah..also I still wanna see my doggie"he said as his friend gave him a wierd look

"and oh everyone I did say this challenge is for you to prove that your braveness is worthy for the princess...I forgot to tell you ,her highness is really a badshooter,I mean really bad"Kira smiled while everyone of them face fell and theireyes grew so wide shocked and jawdropped including Athrun and turned pale,some felt like fainting."Alright,brace yourself Candidates as this challenge starts... Now!"Kira declared as Cagalli raised her bow in position with a real arrow.first in line was shorty,Cagalli smiled naughtily and hastily released the arrow ,piercing through the wind,heading for mr.shorty.
