Day 8
Dinning Room: Breakfast
"So Um Athrun have you seen Cagalli?" Kira asked kind of knowing the answer
"No." Athrun said coldly
"Oh I think she was talking to Ahmed in the garden." said Meyrin
"…" Athrun became even more emotionless
When everyone saw this they all gave Meyrin a look and She couldn't understand why
"Um…why don't you guys leave I'll clean the dishes for today." suggested Fai as he broke the silence
"Excuse me." Athrun suddenly got up from his seat and left
"Huh? Oh hey Athrun wait up." said Meyrin as he ran after Athrun
"Sheesh it's like she's his tail or something." said Kurogane a bit annoyed
Aisha just sighed "If we let this go on any longer it's going to get worse."
"It already is getting worse by the minute." said Shiho
"It's going to be harder to convince them this way." said Tallia
"We'll initiate the plan tonight and we have to make it work." said Yuui
"I'm getting worried." said Stellar
"How are you planning on distracting Ahmed and Meyrin?" asked Subaru
"These are one of the times you wish that Dearka was still here." said Yzak
"Well now what the problem is just getting worse." said Shinn
"Let's just hope that this works." said Fai
Later that day…
Yzak went to go look for Athrun and soon he found him sitting in their room with his head looking at the ground.
"Oh hey Yzak." Athrun said as he saw Yzak approaching him
"Hey yourself Zala why aren't you with Atha?" Yzak asked plainly
"She's with Ahmed already." said Athrun
"So what?" asked Yzak
"So she doesn't need me to stay with her anymore ok, she's happy with her anyway." said Athrun
"What ever made you think that she wasn't happy with you? Right now all I can see is that you're jealous, you cant accept it and so you sit here like a complete fool doing nothing and now your giving up. Is that all you could do?" said Yzak
At first Athrun was dumbfounded. He was shocked at all of the things that Yzak just said and then he finally spoke "Look Yzak I…can you please just leave me alone."
"You know we were always rivals because I thought you were better than this." said Yzak, then he suddenly hands Athrun a note
"What's this Yzak?" asked Athrun
"Just read it. I don't care weather you do it or not it wouldn't affect me anyway. But if you really care about Atha you'll actually be strong enough to actually do something about it. Just remember this you can't turn back time Zala it's your decision do you really love her?" then Yzak left
Athrun was once again speechless this was definitely a side of Yzak that he surely didn't see before then when Yzak left and was out of sight he soon came back to his senses and soon opened the letter that Yzak gave him it read:
COME TO THE GARDEN TONIGHT
As for Kira and Lacus they went to Cagalli's room to be able to talk to Cagalli and they saw her talking to Ahmed
"Um Ahmed I need to talk to Cagalli it's really important so can you give us a few minutes alone?" asked Kira
"Yeah sure no problem." so Ahmed left
"So Cagalli how are things going?" asked Kira
"My life is a horrible living nightmare." said Cagalli
"I-I'm sure i-it's not that bad." said Kira
"Yes it is, in fact it's even worse. Athrun hates me because of some stupid accident." said Cagalli
"Um Cagalli why don't we have a talk later to set things right?" asked Lacus
"O-Okay fine with me, but please leave me alone for now." said Cagalli
"Ok it's no problem just meet us at the garden tonight ok. I think Ahmed wants to talk to you anyway. Bye Cagalli." said Kira
So Kira and Lacus went to meet with the others…
"So what did they say?" asked Fai
"Did they agree?" asked Syaoran
"Well everything went fine with Cagalli." said Kira
"All I did was give Zala a note." said Yzak
"O – O" everyone just stared
"Um ok then." said Kira
"Ok let's start the set-up." said Soel
"Let's keep in mind that we've only got one shot at this and it has to work." said Yuui
That evening
"Ok it's time to initiate the plan. Phase one distract Ahmed and Meyrin." said Syaoran as he gave Shinn the signal to talk to Ahmed
"Hey Um…Ahmed…right?" asked Shinn
"Yup that's me and you're Shinn right?" said Ahmed
"Um…Yeah that's me. Well you see I was wondering if you would like to join me and the other guys for a little talk you know for us to get to know each other." said Shinn
"Yeah sure no problem, Cagalli said she has to talk to her brother anyway." replied Ahmed
"Oh great come on." so as Shinn was walking off with Ahmed he gave Syaoran an 'Ok' signal and Syaoran left to go find Meyrin.
Later Syaoran soon found Miriallia talking to Meyrin
"Hey Miriallia have you seen Athrun anywhere?" asked Meyrin
"Well I think he's doing something right now. So for the time being would you like to hang with us for a while?" asked Miriallia
"Oh… ok, what about Athrun?" asked Meyrin
"Um I'm sure he would understand." said Miriallia. Then she thought "She really is like his tail somehow."
"Oh ok then." then they both left
When Syaoran saw this he told the others and they decided to begin the next phase of the plan.
"Ok Cagalli and Athrun should be here anytime soon." explained Kira
"They're coming." Tomoyo suddenly said
They saw Athrun and Cagalli heading towards the garden in opposite directions
"I still don't get why Yzak would tell me to go to the…O – O" he was speechless when he saw how the garden looked "Wow."
Cagalli soon appeared "Kira? Where are you?"
"Cagalli? W-What are you doing here?" asked Athrun
"A-Athrun? I should be asking you that question. Kira told me to meet him here." explained Cagalli
Then Fai used magic to light up the candles in the table and signaled Nicol and Sakura to start playing music
"K-Kira? What in the world is going on?" asked Cagalli half yelling
Kira suddenly appeared "Hey guys!"
"Kira what's the meaning of all this?" asked Athrun
Kira pulled Athrun and Cagalli to sit down "Well you see we wanted the two of you to spend more quality time together. Isn't that great?!"
"NO!!!!" They both replied
"Look Kira I'm leaving." But before Cagalli could leave Yuui shut the door back inside
"Kira LET US OUT OF HERE!!!! This isn't funny anymore guys." said Athrun
"Oh don't worry we don't intend to make you laugh." said Kurogane
"KIRA GET US OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!" yelled Cagalli
"No not unless you two agree to talk things out." said Kira then he left them alone
Cagalli couldn't do anything so they both just sat down on the chairs. They were very quiet until…
"What do we do now?" but instead of an answer from Cagalli Athrun got something else
"T-This i-is so stupid." said Cagalli she was breaking down and trying to fight back her tears
"Look Cagalli please stop crying." he was trying to sound as nice as possible
"Why won't you believe me when I said it was an accident?" now she couldn't hold it anymore she was crying
"…" was all Athrun could say
"I only see Ahmed as a friend ok, but if you still don't believe then I guess I cant blame you can I?" said Cagalli
"About what?" asked Athrun
"About Meyrin, I mean she took care of you and risked her life to save you. She did things I could never do because I always had to put my country first. I'm always such a burden to everyone." she was still crying
Athrun felt guilty for treating her the way he did and he went to her and hugged her "Cagalli I'm sorry I guess Yzak was right I got jealous and took it out on you. Please don't cry you're not a burden to anyone Cagalli."
Athrun took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears away. "Thank you Athrun."
"Your welcome Princess." he said to her with a smile
Then Cagalli suddenly thought back on what Athrun had said "Wait did you say Yzak helped you?"
"Yeah it's kind of a shock I know." said Athrun with a chuckle "Why don't we thank them tomorrow and get some sleep looks like Kira already unlocked the door and we were too busy to notice."
"Oh ok then" so they went inside not noticing the smiles in their friends' faces
"It Worked!!!!" said Soel
"Thanks again you guys we couldn't have done it without your help." thanked Kira
"No problem but I think we should get some sleep too." suggested Fai
"Yeah I agree." said Nicol and the night ended just like that
