Miriallia Haww is in bliss. Today, after a whole week of waiting for the perfect time (in which most of her time that is 'supposedly' spent there is 'wasted on constant emergencies), she has found the time to spend in the most luxurious place in Archangel – the onsen.

Since there is no one who wants to go there at that moment, given that Lacus is already asleep and Murrue is on duty, Miriallia have to spend her time alone. Not that she doesn't mind; a moment alone may be the thing she needed right now. After all, she hasn't finished thinking about her and a certain tanned blond…

As she enjoyed her warm water, she thought about the problem concerning her and her (ex)-boyfriend, and the 'what ifs' – what if her old boyfriend didn't die, what if she and her friends never involved in the war the first place, what if she died this time, what if HE died this time…

As she is lost in her own thoughts, her eyes finally drifting slowly. Thinking that no one would enter the onsen in this very late hour, she decided to let it be. For extra precaution, she has locked the door; even though she is not a computer genius like Kira is, her life as a freelance photographer has taught her many things, and locking a door is as easy as picking a lock. She relaxes in the hot water until she heard a very loud knock. NO, it wasn't a knock, more seemingly like a person trying to enter the room forcefully. Just like two years ago…

Someone's in the onsen Neo Roanoke thought. Since its past his shift, and the captain seems to be busy, he decided to take a dip in what could be the most luxurious place in any ship. But as he got to the 'little heaven', he found out that the door is locked. Being a persistent man that he is, the man who claims that he can do the impossible did what any other man would when he found a locked door – he knocks it.

"Hey, open up! This is not your personal bath!"

"Is something matter?" Athrun Zala and Kira Yamato, who also had the same idea as Neo does, came behind him as he repeatedly knocks the door and demanding to know whose inside for almost 5 minutes straight.

"Oh, you guys. Well it seems that someone in here is using the onsen as his personal bath"

"Well, that's not good, isn't it?" Kira asked tiredly. It seems that the young general is in need for nice refreshment after a long day; or that his best friend dragged him up from his sleep to the onsen.

"Well, I've been knocking for a while and no one is answering" Neo answered Kira back.

"Shit. I was hoping to get myself a nice warm bath and this happens" Athrun then nudges a very sleepy Kira. The almost asleep commander is slightly shocked as he was forcefully awakened.

"Huh…? What…?"

"Kira, open the door" Athrun orders.

"Why, I wanna sleep…"

"Sleep after you open the door"

"Open this yourself"

"Come on Kira, I didn't wake you up in the middle of the night just to accompany me here"

"Yeah, your 18 and are afraid of the dark. Stupid…" Kira then lets a very loud yawn.

"You are afraid of the dark?" Neo asked.

"No, I'm not!" Stupid Kira. Let people know my weakness.

"He's afraid of the dark because when he was 5…"

"That's enough Kira or I'll tell him that you're scared of cats!" This got Kira's attention as he opens his purple eyes slightly larger, impending that he's a little awake now.

"You are afraid of the cat?" Neo asked again.

"That's…Well, let's see what I could do…" As Kira tries to manually open the door while avoiding Neo's puzzled look, Athrun whistles happily, knowing that he'll get his bath. Being a VERY good 'programmer', he opened the door in less than a minute. As the three of them lets a silent relief and enters the onsen, an unexpected thing happened.

The three of them is being splashed.

With the hot water from the onsen.

By Miriallia Haww.

"KIRA! ATHRUN?! AND CAPTAIN…TOO?" Miriallia is in shock, as the three men were. A tiredly, sleepy Kira instantly wakes up, a stunned Athrun is well, stunned and Neo, the man who claims he could do the impossible only stands at the entrance with a horror shock in his face. The three of them are soaked wet, and a towel-only clad Miriallia could only do one thing in that situation.

She screams.

As she screams, the three shocked men also scream in unison.

Just like the history repeated itself, the towel that held her naked form hidden from view, slowly descended down as Miriallia held her hands up, causing the unison screams to became more louder than ever before.

"I cannot believe that this would happen in this time of situation" Captain Murrue Ramius said as she looked upon the three men that supposedly be the one that is 'innocent'. All three men had a very red, visible handprints mark on the sides of their faces. Miriallia just looked at them without feelings. The nightmare that haunts her two years ago is now returning, just this time, instead of Siggh, Tolle and Kuzzey, it was Athrun; plus the two men that is also involved in her long lost nightmare.

"I've told you, I didn't know she was in there. If she had only told me that she's in there, neither of us would've barged in!" Neo tries to pledge his innocence as best as he could, but without his mask, the act is really the hardest thing to be done. The blue haired 'convict' is still in shock, unable to say anything while the other 'convict' is actually sleeping while standing. Talk about coordinators…

"Well, that's that. Milly?" The captain asked the brown haired CIC officer.

"Can't you at least punish them a little? After all, they did saw a MAGNIFICENT view"

After a long time if thinking, Murrue finally decided to place them in a solidatary confinement just for the night. Even though Kira is above her rank, Kira is still Kira and he did admit making the mistake of opening (hacking) the onsen door.

As the three men tries to kill the time as they were inside, Neo is trying to figure out about whether or not he'd actually experienced the present situation as a fragment of memory of him being splashed is played in his mind.

Athrun is still in shock. Seeing a naked woman is no problem as he always sees a certain naked woman, but seeing a naked friend is scarring him to the core. Certainly a loyal boyfriend…

Kira however, is trying to figure out whether or not in the two years times, if Miriallia has finally filled out in certain places.

Author's note – I think I'm losing my touch. Anyway, the thing about Athrun's afraid of the dark and Kira's of the cats is stupid – I admit. But that's that.
