Chapter 10
She was staring at the same pink note she'd been staring at a half hour ago she just couldn't leave it alone. The post-it was not very large and was not very bold unless you counted it being pink. But it wasn't what color it was that was brothering her it was what was written on it. Sure she knew there had to be some eventually but why did the first one have to be formal she couldn't just go there in a tuxedo now could she. And who on earth was she going to bring? Not that anyone was really required to bring someone but it only seemed right. But who as far as she knew the only people she knew it this whole company totaled three: Dearka, Yzak, and Athrun. And most of them probably already had arranged something to get them out of this or had already got people to go with. But here she was unprepared staring at a pink post-it wishing she had known so that Kira could play dead on that day and miss this whole thing. And as she stared she wished that she could somehow rearrange the letters to read something that was completely different then what she had been reading for the whole morning and how it kept distracting her from her work.
Athrun stared at Cagalli as she groaned for the fiftieth time that morning. Not that he wasn't enjoying her lost look as she stared at the pink post-it it was the fact that she was trying to think of a way to get out of it, that made him laugh. There was no way out at least for him. He was the company's president and as much as he hated to say it there was a lot of things he'd rather be doing the evening that had been written on his pink post-it. Why were these things always coming up? And why was it him who was always dragged to one. "Note to self get clone…"
"You ok Athrun?" asked a voice bringing him back to reality. He meet the concerned eyes of his secretary, "Maybe you should take a break for a while and maybe you could skip that whole gruesome event coming up in a week and I can just watch over you. Ne?"
"Ha, ha. Very funny Cagalli but I have to go to the dinner party it is expected. And there is no way you get out of it and I go!"
"Uhhh come on!"
"I'm sorry but all the other workers are all envious of my 'cute' seceratary. And I promised to show her off."
"I am not some prize Athrun and refuse to attend this thing!"
"You can't because I've already set up a shopping date with Dearka's secretary and she's been dying to meet you."
"Uh-huh. Thanks for setting it up but I'm sorry but I refuse to go!"
"Well I hate to break it to you but…"
Knock. Knock.
"That's her."
"YOU SET IT UP TODAY!" shouted Cagalli as the door opened to reveal a brown haired, and blue eyed lady. She walked in a politely acknowledged Athrun then happily smiled at Cagalli.
"You have no idea how long I've been waiting to meet you!"
"EXUSE ME!"
"Well you see you and me are the only female workers in this place! And let me tell you working for Elsman is no walk in the park."
"I can imagine."
"Well now that you two ladies have got acquainted how about you go on that shopping trip?" suggested Athrun trying to ignore Cagalli's death glare.
"Oh I almost forgot!" said the girl happily, "My name is Mirilla you can just call me Mir."
"Mine's Cagalli. But if you want to you can call me Cags. 'God why couldn't you forget'"
"How come you never let me call you that?" asked Athrun sounding hurt
"Because I only let people I like call me that." Stated Cagalli as she was dragged toward the door by an over happy Mirialla, "And Zala you better be ready for a whole lot of pounding when I come back!"
"Whatever you say." Said Athrun as the door closed behind the two, "Whatever you say…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the two woman walked down the street Mir kept up a cherry conversation.
"So how's life with the woman eater?" she joked, "You see secretaries go in but the never come back out."
"Ummm, ok I guess, besides the fact that he's making me buy a rudy dress for this company dinner party."
"Oh come on it'll be fun!" laughed Mir and the girl's mood, "And besides you could really impress him with your skills."
"What skills…the last time I went dancing my partner needed to leave in an ambulance."
"Really. Wow. Mmmmm this is going to be tough."
"What do you mean TOUGH!"
"Hey no need to shout it's just we want to turn you into a lady to impress Mr. Zala."
"Why would I want to impress that jerk?"
"You know," said Mir coming right up into her face, "Eyes are the gateways to the soul."
"SO?"
"Your eyes hold an emotion you are unwilling to recognize so I'm going to help you!" replied Mir happily entering a shop
"HEY WAIT! WHAT EMOTION!" said Cagalli quickly following her in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RedKnight: You know that girl is just plain nuts.
Freedomlover: I thought u enjoyed her company?
Pinkprincess: He does but he just doesn't want to admit it! ; )
RedKnight: Come on!
Freedomlover: You know she doe have a point u seemed pretty depressed when she was in the whole 'must forget father pahse'
RedKnight: That was completely different! I was only concerned for her welfare!
Pinkprincess: You can deny it all you want but your eyes will always tell the truth.
RedKnight: How's that suppose to help me! G2G Yzak's at the door. This should be fun.
Freedomlover: Think he'll ever figure it out?
Pinkprincess: I don't know Kira, I really don't know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athurn looked away from his computer as not Yzak but a very angry Dearka stormed into his office.
"Where is Mir?" he asked loudly
"Oh I believe she is on a shopping trip with my secretary."
"Well call her back right now."
"You know I'm really starting to believe the only reason you get any work done is because she does it for you."
"Well..uh.."
"Maybe I should make you Yzak's secretary and her the head of finance."
"That's cruel!"
"Now how long have you known me?"
"Umph what has Cags been teaching you? How to kill Dearka with your words."
'Who said you could call her that!"
"She did. Geez your acting like an overprotective boyfriend."
"Umph she won't let me call her that."
"You know maybe if you didn't tease her so much she'd let you."
"You're starting to scare me Dearka a girl has actually willing become friends with you."
"Ha ha very funny. You know it's that kind of attitude that stops girls from coming near you. Now if you don't mind I'm going to go find my secretary." With that Dearka left the room. Staring at the closed door Athrun was once again returned to his work "Is that why Cagalli doesn't trust me yet…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I AM NOT PUTTING THAT… THAT THING FROM HELL ON!"
"Wow Dearka wasn't exaggerating when he said you were tough. However I'm starting to think stubborn is more of a word for you."
"IF YOU KEEP TRYING TO PUT ME IN A DRESS ROADKILL WILL BE YOUR NEW NAME!"
"Oh come on.. it's just a giant piece of fabric. I don't think silk can hurt you."
"Says the girl who has every man drooling at her."
"Not every man. Just enough to get someone I know jealous," winked Mir adding another dress to the growing pile, "Besides people would be attracted to you if you just showed off what you got."
"Got what?" asked Cagalli. Mir looked at her in shock then shook her head.
"Nevermind, now let's see you in some dresses."
"What when did I get in the change room! Mir I swear if you lock this door…"
Click.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Now, now Cagalli just try them on. They won't bite."
"SAYS YOU!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Groaning Athrun looked up from his work and saw the empty secretary chair. Why was he getting so bored it wasn't like he was that desperate for company. Stretching a bit his eyes landed on the pink post-it. Groaning he read it over again,
"You are invited to the monthly office party. 'Like I have a choice to go.' It is formal wear and all people who work in the office are welcome. 'Duh. Note to self after getting clone get more people who have brains.' Employees are allowed to bring one or two guests, children and wives included. 'Gee never would have guessed people would invite their families. Boy am I behind.' There will be food, dancing, and food. 'Who the hell wrote this! A baboon!' The party will take place in a week. 'Gee heard of a day, a month, and year. Seriously must fire whoever wrote this.' See you there! 'I don't even know you.'" muttering darkly Athrun stuffed it into the top of his desk drawer, "I may as well get this done." He once again stared at the report but no more then 5 minutes later did he open his top drawer and once again remove the pink post-it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I look stupid."
"I'm sure you don't."
"Says you!"
"Oh come on you've been such a good sport. Please Cags let's see you in the last dress."
"NO! Not only is it strapless it's PINK! The most horrible color in the whole world."
"You and I both know it's not as bad as you're making it sound."
"How do you know! I haven't seen you try on one dress yet!"
"That's because I already have mine and this is the day you get one. Come on impress Mr. Zala so that the minute he sees you hormones he never knew he had will start working."
"You're horrible!" stated Cagalli coming out of the change room in the dress that she had saved for last, because she was thoroughly disgusted by it.
"Oh My God! It'd FABOULOUS!" screamed Mir grabbing her into a lung crushing hug, "It looks so awesome! I tell you the minute he sees you he'll have a nose bleed!"
"Excuse me? Nosebleed?"
"Wow you really are slow in these kind of things aren't you?"
"You know you're really provoking me to hurt you right now!"
"WOW! You actually turned her into a lady Mir." Stated a voice from afar. Running up Dearka soon came into view, "Look at you Cags all dressed up for a ball."
"You know I'm getting really close to hurting someone!" muttered Cagalli
"Oh come on. We're friends remember and let me tell you that there is one thing that friends do for friends."
"I don't like where this is going…"
"Their boyfriends buy them ice cream!" shouted Mir in glee
"WHAT!" said a very shocked Dearka
"You two are.. TOGETHER!"
"Yup ever since he laid eyes on me or eye if you consider he couldn't see for a week after."
"All I said was…"
"A very corny pick up line."
"Umph why does no one appreciate me!" muttered Dearka, "I give and give and I still end up with dangerous women."
"Are you done choosing?" asked a saleslady coming towards them.
"Yes, we'll be taking the one she's wearing." Said Mir pointing to Cagalli who had just come out of the change room. Taking the dress she handed it to the saleslady, "Now Dearka pay the nice lady."
"WHAT!" said Dearka following the lady toward the counter after Mir gave him a death glare.
"It pays to have a boyfriend with a credit card!" winked Mir as she and Cagalli headed out the door to wait for Dearka.
"That cost so much!" groaned Dearka coming out of the store only to have the package snatched by Mir and handed to Cagalli, "HEY!"
"Come on honey!" smiled Mir sweetly kissing Dearka on the cheek, "Let's go get ice cream!" As Dearka walked to ice cream polar in a daze Mir walked beside Cagalli.
"Cags, when you get a boyfriend. Remember one thing…"
"What?"
"I kiss and you get anything!" smiled Mir looking at Dearka, "It's the most powerful weapon!"
"How did you and Dearka get together he hit on me and you didn't get mad."
"Hey! He might have hit on you but at least I knew Mr. Zala was there to claim you! When he hits on other women that's when he really feels pain. Besides according to his complaints you do more damage then I ever could."
"Oh."
"Hey don't look so down! You'll find someone you really care for someday. I'm already starting to feel sorry for him." Winked Mir, "Now it's time for Ice Cream!" Then she happily handed Cagalli a cone. "I wonder when I'll have a relationship like Mir and Dearka…."
Well i hope you guys enjoyed it! A few times Cagalli seemed OC to me but hey it all fits together! Oh a dance huh... Seriously though u think Athurn could have hired better people! And to all those who were wondering if i'd add Mir well you know now! PEOPLE WHO REVIEW AND PRESS PURPLE BUTTONS MAKE ME VERY HAPPY! Seriously press the button. That really takes a while to write.
