Cagalli took a sip of her milk as her dad was reading the paper at the breakfast table. It was just the two of them because Lucy was with her mom fighting about her sneaking out the night before. Unfortunately she isn't the only one who got into trouble over it, Cagalli got yelled at for locking the window, and not telling them when it happened. She originally planned on telling them after she changed clothes, but she fell asleep. She really didn't care that they yelled at her she was used to it, however it was like the end of the world for Lucy since she never got into trouble for anything she did. Cagalli glared at her eggs, 'that lucky bitch.' Ullen looked up from his paper at her. "Cagalli." She glanced to him nervously, "yes?" He sat the paper down on the table. "Who was that boy with you last night?" Cagalli blinked, since when was her dad curious about anything? "Awh him? His name is Athrun." Ullen raised an eyebrow. "Are you dating him?" Cagalli fidgeted around in her seat. She didn't really want to tell him yet, but figured she didn't really have a choice. "Yes I am." He nodded once as he stood up. "I'm still upset over the whole Yuna incident, but it is your life. I expect you to introduce this Athrun to me sometime soon!" She could hear the strict authority in his voice, meaning next time Athrun was there she better introduce him. "Yes, father." He started to walk out of the room. "Good, before next Sunday, Cagalli." She just nodded her head, not that he could see.

Mayu grinned to herself while she was sitting in church with Shinn, and their grandma. She noticed that Shinn was starring at Stella who was sitting two rows up and an aisle over with her boyfriend, Rey. Shinn nudged Mayu with his elbow and whispered. "Why didn't Cagalli have to come?" Mayu glanced to him, "because she told gram that she was spending quality time with, Uncle Ullen." Shinn snorted. "Yeah that would be the day." Mayu chuckled and got a twinkle in her eyes. "I bet she and Athrun are on a date and it's very romantic!" Shinn rolled his eyes and slumped down in his seat. "At 9am? I bet she isn't even up yet, let alone on a romantic date, Mayu." Mayu punched him in the knee. "I'm so jealous of her, Athrun is so handsome." Shinn perked up as he was rubbing his knee. "Mayu, you're like 5!" She hit him again. "Yeah right, Shinn! You wish I was 5! I'm practically old enough to have my own first boyfriend." Shinn rolled his eyes. "Yeahh right!" She pinched him. He rubbed it. "Damn, you've been hanging with Cagalli too much!" Their grandma hit Shinn with her cane. "Be quiet! We are in church." Mayu snickered. "Sucks to be you, Shinn." Shinn just crossed his arms and looked away. "Brat."

Cagalli was running down the steps when she ran into Jane, her step mom. Jane raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going in such a rush?" Cagalli blinked, "To work." Jane crossed her arms sternly. "Are you lying?" Cagalli was lying but it still offended her that Jane would even ask that. "No, I'm not." Cagalli clenched her fist, one more lie, just great. Jane nodded and handed her a hanger with a dress bag hanging down. "I got your dress for the party." She paused to smirk. "I hope you like it. Oh and do me a favor, on your way home from work stop at Mrs. Baker's and help her with a few things." She then started to walk up the stairs. Cagalli said, "yeah, no problem." Then she just finished running down and out the door.

Athrun walked down the stairs in his house looking for his mother. Patrick walked out of his office. "Athrun?" Athrun glanced to him. "Yes father?" Patrick smiled to him. "Do you have a game, Tuesday?" Athrun looked a little surprised. "Yes, why?" Patrick walked over to him. "What time?" Athrun blinked. "Umm, it starts at 6:30." Patrick smiled again. "I'll be there." Athrun's eyes widened, his father hardly ever came to a game. "Are you joking?" Patrick yelled slightly. "No! I'm not joking. I'm going to be there. What is with you?" Athrun shook his head, and stumbled for words. "Awh nothing. Just surprised me that's all. Oh have you seen mom anywhere?" Patrick raised his eyebrows and looked to the right. "She said something about going to a brunch later at the club." Athrun nodded. "Okay, thanks." Patrick called out to him, Athrun turned around to catch keys that were flying towards him. Patrick smiled. "You can use my car if you're going to the club." Athrun looked at the keys then to his dad and smiled. "Thanks dad!" Patrick nodded. "See you later."

Cagalli looked pale and Flay had a hand over her mouth trying her best not to laugh. Cagalli looked at her. "Go ahead laugh, let it all out!" Flay did just that. "Ahaha, sorry! Cagalli, hahaha… It's just so ugly." Cagalli went over to where she hung the dress her step mom bought for her on Flay's door and threw it on the floor and jumped on it. "I don't care what you let me borrow Flay, because it has to be better than this puke green poofy piece of shit!" Flay smirked as she walked over to her closet. "It's really such a shame that Athrun won't be able to see you in this dress." Cagalli crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "I guess." Flay pulled out the dress. "He would want to leave the party and go have a private party with you instead." Cagalli blinked as the dress came into view. "Flay! I can't wear that!" Flay looked at it. "Uhh, why not?" Cagalli turned red. "My dad. It's his Governor cocktail party, people that work with him will be there." Flay smiled. "So they've seen you in a bikini before, this covers more." Cagalli bit her lip. "Awh, what the hell! I'm already grounded anyways." She and Flay both started to laugh. "So very true." Flay then sat down on her bed. "So your dad asked about, Athrun?" Cagalli nodded. "Yeah. I have to introduce him." Flay shrugged. "At least he didn't invite him over for dinner or something." Cagalli sighed. "It's not like I care. I just don't want Lucy to meet him. If that makes any sense at all." Flay smiled to her friend. "Of course it does. Yuna was a different story from Athrun so it makes things more complicated for you." Cagalli nodded. "Isn't that the truth. Ugh! Speaking of the devil, Yuna is going to be there, Saturday." Flay crossed her arms. "See! All the more reason for Athrun to be there!" Cagalli slumped down by a wall. "I lied to him, and told him I was busy Saturday going to my grandma's." Flay blinked. "The one that lives like right here?" Cagalli shrugged her shoulders slightly. "It's not like he knows where any of my grandparents live." Flay rolled her eyes. "Cagalli, little white lies, lead to trouble." Cagalli ran a hand through her hair. "I know I won't do it again. Well I will for some things." Flay and her started laughing. "Like telling him an outfit looks good when it doesn't." Cagalli nodded. "Except all of, Athrun's outfits look damn good." Flay laughed, then her phone started to ring, so she answered it. "Yeah…okay…no problem.. see you in a bit." Cagalli raised an eyebrow, Flay glanced to her. "You want to go run an errand with me?" Cagalli walked towards the door. "Sure." Flay followed her out and grinned.

Shiho looked under the car Yzak, and Dearka were working on. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Yzak grunted. "Of course, I do!" Shiho looked skeptical. "I think you should just take it to a mechanic, Dearka." Dearka laughed. "You just don't understand, Shiho." She rolled her eyes. "Whatever, you two say, but if you mess up your mom's car, don't ask me for help." Dearka laughed loudly. "We're not going to mess anything up." She went over to sit on the steps that led to Dearka's front door and fiddled around for her phone.

Cagalli blinked as Flay pulled up to the Country Club. She ducked down in her seat. "Oh my God! Flay, I'm banned from here!" Flay laughed and rolled her eyes. "Chill, Cagalli that was like 2 years ago!" Cagalli looked at her and shook her head. "So! I will be in some deep shit if dad finds out that I even came near here, let alone go in! "Flay got out of her car. "Would you calm down? I got banned too. Remember?, but I still come here all the time." Cagalli crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat. "I'm not getting out of this car, Flay." Flay shrugged. "Aww, okay but I can't guarantee how long this will take. You might be out here for a long time, and there is always the chance Yuna could come by." Cagalli snorted. "I'm not afraid of him." Flay smirked. "What about Mrs. Paxton? You do realize she still works here." Cagalli gulped slightly and slowly took off her seat belt. "On second thought, I think I'll go in." Flay shut her door in satisfaction. "Yeah, that's what I thought." They started walking towards the entrance as Cagalli was putting on sunglasses. "So what exactly do you have to do here?" Flay pulled an envelope out of her purse. "My dad needs this for some reason." Cagalli glanced at it. "Oh. Is he playing golf?" Flay nodded. "Probably, although I say we walk around first because on the phone he said he was going to eat." Cagalli nodded. "Man, I hope so." Flay looked at her. "Why, you hungry?" Cagalli looked at her. "Nah, I ate this morning. I just don't want to walk all over the golf coarse."

Athrun was walking through the club looking for Leanore Zala, his mother. He heard someone call his name he turned around to see Heine Westenfluss standing there. "Hey." Heine walked up to him. "Where have you been?" Athrun smiled. "Seiran High." Heine nodded. "Damn, I got sent to Savior High." Athrun laughed. "That's a better school than Seiran." Heine nodded. "That's true, I guess." Athrun glanced around still looking for his mom. "Are you playing soccer there?" Heine nodded and smirked. "Most defiantly. What about you?" Athrun nodded his head slowly as he crossed his arms. "Yeah. I am."

Cagalli jumped down and started crawling away from Flay. Flay raised an eyebrow. "What the hell are you doing?" Cagalli hid behind a chair. "Mrs. Paxton is coming!" Flay blinked. "Really?" She ducked down behind a chair beside of Cagalli. Cagalli opened her mouth and whispered hatefully. "I thought you said you come here all the time?" Flay looked at her. "I do! I just don't ever let Mrs. Paxton see me!"

Cagalli glanced at Mrs. Paxton, she still looked the same her long black hair was pulled up in an elegant bun, and her nose was in the air so you could hardly see her brown eyes. She had high heels on that made Cagalli's feet hurt just from looking at them, 'how the hell does she walk in those?'

Mrs. Paxton stopped walking and glared at the two chairs in the room when she noticed blonde hair sticking up from the right side. She swiftly walked over and put her weight on her knees on the seat and looked over the back and gasped. "Cagalli, and Flay?"

Flay looked up at her and smirked. "Hello, Mrs. Paxton you're looking younger every time I see you. What's your secret?" She glared at her and went to grab her.

Cagalli grabbed a hold of Flay's arm. "Ahh time to go, Flay!" The two girls bolted out of the room, with Mrs. Paxton chasing after them. "You two! Stop." She passed and elderly couple and smiled. "Good morning!" They just smiled and kept on walking.

Cagalli and Flay we're about to run out to the eating area outside, Cagalli glanced to Flay. "Where is your dad!" Flay looked at her. "I don't know!" Cagalli growled slightly. "Call him." Flay went to grab her phone from her purse. "Shit." Cagalli looked at her. "What?" Flay looked like she just saw a ghost. "I can't believe this, I forgot my purse behind the chair. This has never happened to me before." Cagalli blinked, "are you being serious?" Flay looked like she was about to cry. "I'll be right back." Cagalli shook her head. "I'm coming with you." Flay shook her head. "It's better if we split up anyways, Mrs. Paxton will be less likely to catch us."

Cagalli swallowed hard and ran outside when she saw Mrs. Paxton. She accidentally ran into an older lady and fell down. "Crap." The woman held out a hand to her. "Are you alright?" Cagalli shook her head. "Yes. I'm so sorry." She looked up and appreciatively took the hand and stood up. Cagalli starred at the lady, she was really beautiful. Leanore smiled to her. "It's fine, I'm just glad you are alright." Cagalli smiled to her. "Thank you. Umm, I'm sorry to bother you but do you know Mr. Allster?" Leonore's eyes widened. "Yes, I do." Cagalli laughed a little. "Have you seen him today?" Leanore looked around. "He went to go play golf about 10 minutes ago dear." Cagalli nodded her head. "Okay. Thank you so much!" That's when Flay ran by her shouting. "Come on Cagalli!" Cagalli looked behind her to see Mrs. Paxton running towards them. "Sorry, but I have to go!" She then started running after Flay. She stopped at where Flay was getting into a golf cart. "Oh, hell no!" Flay looked at her. "Just hop on!" Cagalli started to laugh as she climbed on. "If only Kira, and Shinn were here. It would feel like Deja vu." Flay rolled her eyes. "Oh geez." Cagalli looked behind them. "Damn, Mrs. Paxton can run! I mean for being old, and wearing those shoes!" Flay bit her lip. "I'll say."

Leanore sat down at her table. Talia Durandal looked at her. "Who was the girl?" Leanore smiled kindly. "I don't know. I assume her name is Cagalli from what Flay called her." Talia laughed. "Such lively young girls." Leanore chuckled. "Yes. I always wanted a daughter, but Patrick was happy with just Athrun." Talia understood. "I know what you mean. Gilbert doesn't want anymore kids other than Spencer it seems." Leanore picked up her cup of tea. "You know, doesn't Ullen Attha have a daughter named Cagalli?" Talia's eyes widened slightly. "Oh my, he does. Though I doubt that girl was his daughter." Leanore smiled. "I don't know, she looked quite a bit like him." Talia shrugged. "I suppose we will find out, Saturday." Leanore nodded. "I suppose."

"Ahhhh, Flay! Watch what your doing!" Flay glared at her. "How was I supposed to know a duck was going to jump out of no where!" Cagalli looked at her. "That duck was there for a good 3 minutes Flay!" Flay laughed. "Are we fighting?" Cagalli leaned back in her seat and grinned. "No! We're having a debate over how bad you stink at driving golf carts, but you can drive a car just fine." Flay smiled, "pms." Cagalli busted out laughing. "Awe! Don't say that." Flay smiled widely and stopped the vehicle. "Daddy!" Cagalli sighed in relief. "Thank goodness!"

Flay ran to her dad and handed him the envelope. He kissed her on the forehead. "Thank you, Flay." She grinned. "No problem, daddy." Cagalli was leaning her head on the side and looking at her nails when she noticed Mrs. Paxton coming in a golf cart. "You have got to be kidding me! She is one determined woman." Flay realizing her dad was in a business deal didn't want to embarrass him decided it was best that she, and Cagalli left before Mrs. Paxton made her way there. "Umm, I'm going to go, see you later, daddy. Love ya!" He waved to Flay. "Be good!" Flay hopped in the golf cart, Cagalli glanced to her. "Step on it."

Athrun smiled as he saw his mother and walked over to her. "Mom." Leanore turned in her seat looking stunning as always. "Oh! Athrun! What are you doing here?" Athrun shrugged. "I was going to speak with you this morning, but you had already left." She frowned slightly to him. "I'm sorry, I didn't know." He smiled. "It's fine." She starred at him for a second. "Athrun, was it important?" He shook his head as he sat down. "No, it can wait." Leanore nodded once. "Alright." The three abruptly turned in their seats when they heard a giant splash in the pond. "Oh dear!"

0000

Cagalli blinked. "I'm still alive!" Flay slapped her on the arm. "You're not going to be, if cranky Mrs. Paxton gets out of the water and catches us!" Cagalli grinned. "It's not even deeper than the golf cart. Man, and here I thought you were an awful driver." Flay just rolled her eyes and grabbed onto Cagalli's arm. "Come on, you do realize that our dad's will have to pay for this?" Cagalli was jogging beside Flay. "Ehh, I will have to pay for my half, and pray my dad doesn't slaughter me." Flay looked at her. "I'll make sure dad keeps her from telling your dad."

0000

Athrun starred at the two golf carts in the water. "People these days." Leanore had a hand over her mouth. "Oh my, Flay, and her friend Cagalli?" Athrun shot up from his seat. "Cagalli!" Leanore, and Talia were partially startled from the loud way he stood up. "Yes, I believe so. Do you know them?" Athrun went to run down there but stopped when he noticed Flay, and Cagalli running his way. "Yeah, I do."

Cagalli was almost to the back entrance of the club, when she heard a male voice call her name. She stopped and slowly turned to the left and turned blood red. "Athrun?" He walked up to her quickly and gently held her lower right arm. "Are you alright?" She laughed sheepishly. "Yeah, I'm fine. There isn't a scratch on me."

Flay smiled. "Good afternoon, Leanore." Leanore had her hand under her chin with her right leg crossed over left with an amused smile on her face. "Hello, Flay." Cagalli blinked, at seeing the woman she ran into earlier. She then glanced back up to Athrun. "What are you doing here?" Athrun smiled to her. "I'm here visiting my mother, I guess I should introduce you to her." Cagalli slightly shook her head and whispered. "Ah, no Athrun." Athrun pushed her forward gently. "Mother, this is Cagalli, my beautiful girlfriend." Leanore raised an eyebrow as she looked Cagalli head to toe. Cagalli stood still as a statue with her blond hair pulled back in a low ponytail with a blue head band on top, her black aviator sunglasses covering her eyes, a blue ruffled shirt, denim shorts, and blue converse sneakers, dripping water. Leanore let a radiant smile come across her face. "Nice to meet you, Cagalli." Cagalli smiled. "Ahh, nice to meet you too.." Leanore stretched out her hand. "Leanore." Cagalli shook it awkwardly. Flay had her arms crossed surprised that Leanore didn't recognize Cagalli from before. Athrun randomly started laughing, the girls all looked at him Cagalli crossed her arms and slid her head slightly to the left. "What's so funny?" Athrun shook his head. "Nothing." Flay grinned. "Probably, because of our appearances." Athrun looked at her and smiled. "Obviously." Flay blinked at Mrs. Paxton running towards them. "Damn. She really doesn't like you Cagalli." Cagalli laughed. "Me? Yeah right. You're on her bad list now, Flay. " Flay shook her head. "What I did today was nothing compared to last time." Athrun raised an eyebrow. "Last time?" Flay nodded as she grabbed Cagalli's arm. "Ask Kira about it! We have to go!" Cagalli smiled to Athrun ."Bye." She glanced to Leanore. "Nice to meet you, Leanore!" Leanore watched the girls run off, and glanced to her son. "Did you meet them at your new school?" Athrun nodded. "Yeah. Isn't she great?" Leanore chuckled. "She does seem like an adventurous girl." Athrun sat down in a chair beside his mother. "I like her wild side." Leanore nodded. "Is she Cagalli Attha?" Athrun blinked. "Yeah. Actually I'm kind of surprised you haven't met her before with your job in all." Leanore leaned back in her seat and looked troubled. "I suppose. Will she be at the cocktail party next Saturday?" Athrun shook his head. "No, she said she's going to her grandma's." Leanore raised an eyebrow. "That's very interesting."

Flay, and Cagalli were driving away from the club. "That was in my top 10 embarrassing moments, Flay." Flay had one hand on the wheel and one going through her hair. "For you and me both! I can't believe I acted like a 6 year old running away from a spanking." Cagalli started to laugh. "It was kind of fun though. I feel achieved taking down more golf carts." Flay joined her in laughter. "Except it was with water, and not fire this time." Cagalli leaned against the window. "We have to tell, Shinn." Flay nodded. "No doubt"

Shinn after saying good bye to his grandma after church decided to go home, change his clothes, and go for a run. While he was running he happened to notice, Mirialla sitting on the ground starring at the lake. Being the nice guy he is, he went over to say hi. He touched her shoulder lightly. "Hey, Mirialla." She turned and glared at him. "What do you want?" Shinn blinked, she was snappy and crying, what a great combination. "I was just going to say hi." She rolled her eyes. "Right. I bet you're here to make fun of me or something." Shinn stiffened up slightly. "No! Why would I do that?" Mirialla motioned for him to sit down next to her on the steps, Shinn politely did so. She took a breath. "Tolle, broke up with me." Shinn's eyes widened. "He what?" Mirialla nodded. "Well he said that he wanted to take a break, but that really means break up." Shinn looked at her. "Or it could mean just a break, Mirialla." She shook her head. "I shouldn't be crying, I brought it on myself." Shinn was uncomfortable. "Ohh." Mirialla nodded as she wiped tears from her eyes. "To be honest I really did love, Tolle at one point, but now I think it's turned into love like a good friend, not a boyfriend. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Shinn leaned back against the steps. "Ahh, not really." Mirialla laughed a little. "Right, I forgot you are having your own problems in love." Shinn starred at the sky. "I guess, you could say that." Mirialla leaned back too. "Stella, used to like you, but I wasn't the one who told you." Shinn snapped his head to look at her. "Are you serious?" Mirialla nodded. "Serious as a heart attack." Shinn perked up but frowned. "Wait, what did you mean by 'used'?" Mirialla shrugged. "I don't know if she still likes you, because of where she is dating Rey." Shinn rested his left hand on his forehead. "I hate high school." Mirialla laughed. "Yeah me too, but I like it better than middle school." Shinn slowly stood up and helped Mirialla up. "Come on, I'll take you wherever you want to go. We have to cheer you up." Mirialla grinned. "I'm not really sad, I was more disappointed in myself than anything." Shinn shrugged and smirked. "Good. I won't have to spend money then." Mirialla grabbed his arm. "Aww! Shinn!" He laughed. "I was only kidding, come on."

Shiho watched in amusement as Dearka panicked for locking the keys in the car. Yzak sat down next to her smirking. She glanced to him. "Are you going to tell him to call onstar, or should I?" Yzak shrugged. "Let him freak out for a bit, then you can tell him." Shiho leaned her head on Yzak's shoulder. "Ha! Gladly!" Yzak smiled. "Sometimes I feel bad for being mean to him." Shiho smiled. "Dearka, understands that your being an ass, is showing that you care in your own way." Yzak looked at her. "I am not an ass." She moved her head away from him. "Yes you are. Although. I have complete control of you, Yzak." He raised an eyebrow . "The hell you do!" She leaned forward and began to kiss him the way he likes it on his neck. "Oh, but I do." Yzak glanced to her and put his left hand on her cheek. "Yeah, alright. Just keep it between us! I have a reputation to keep." She blinked. "What reputation?" Yzak smiled to her. "You know." Shiho looked thoughtful. "Of being an ass?" Yzak rolled his eyes. "Never mind." Dearka walked pass them with a hammer, Shiho blinked. "Dearka?" He looked at her. "I'm going to break a window." Yzak yelled. "No! Don't do that you idiot!" Dearka growled, he was a little bit irritable right now. "Why not?" Yzak pulled out his cell phone, "because you can call onstar an have them open it for you." Dearka sighed. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Yzak felt bad because of how pathetic Dearka looked at that moment. "Just because. Ahh forget it! Just go get the papers and I'll call for you." Dearka nodded and walked back inside the house. Shiho walked over to Yzak, and starred at him skeptically. "You are really going to do that?" Yzak nodded. "Yeah, is that surprising?" Shiho slightly shook her head. "Just don't blow up on the person you talk to, they can only work so fast." Yzak rolled his eyes. "I won't." 5 minutes later. "You son of a bitch! Who needs you two use your damn satellite to open the car anyways! I can fucking do it myself." Shiho watched as Yzak hung up the phone and threw it. "Stupid idiots." Dearka blinked at him. "What am I supposed to do now?" Yzak glared at him. "Get the fucking hammer!" Shiho shook her head, as she crossed her arms. "Yep, I knew it."

Flay stopped the car in front of an older 2 story brick house. "Why exactly are you the one helping Mrs. Baker?" Cagalli went to get out of the car. "Jane asked me to, and I couldn't say no. I mean she's an elderly woman living alone." Flay leaned forward. "Her house is creepy though!" Cagalli laughed as she stood up. "You should see the inside!" Flay raised an eyebrow. "..You.. don't get scared?" Cagalli shook her head. "No. I'm not scared of anything!" Flay broke rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Yeah, and I'm the richest girl in the world!" Cagalli laughed happily. "Okay, so I get scared of some things." Flay nodded. "Damn right. Like Yuna, cockroaches, frogs, snakes.." Cagalli leaned in the car. "Okay! I get it, Flay! Oh and I'm not scared of Yuna!" Flay smiled to her. "Whatever you say, best friend. I have to go though. See you tomorrow at school! Text me." Cagalli shut the car door and watched her friend drive off, then turned around and walked up the path to the house. She rang the doorbell, once more. She shrugged. "Weird."

"You're weird." Cagalli abruptly turned around. "That makes you weird too, you know." Athrun raised an eyebrow as he was walking towards her. "Huh? I guess that makes sense. Maybe she isn't home?" Cagalli glanced at the house. "Oh, she's home! Come on follow me." Athrun did as she demanded. "You look sexy in cleaning clothes." Cagalli's cheeks turned a light shade of red, and she laughed and tugged on the shirt. "These are, Flay's. Not mine." Athrun smirked. "You're the one wearing them right now, they would only look good on you in my eyes." Cagalli shook her head as she pounded on the back door. "Cheesy." Athrun leaned against the brick wall. "Oh well." After a few more minutes, Athrun looked at her. "Cagalli, I really don't think she is home." Cagalli glared at him. "I'm not giving up! I have one last option." Athrun titled his head, "and what might that be?" Cagalli pointed at him. "stay right there. Don't move I'll be right back." Athrun crossed his arms and slowly said, "okkaaayyyy." He walked forward and leaned against the railing and watched as she walked into a building. He blinked when he heard stuff falling over. "Cagalli? Are you alright?" He heard a mumbled. "I'm fine!" He smiled and glanced back at the door and not a minute later he heard her footsteps coming closer. He turned his attention back to her and raised both his eyebrows in shock. "What are you going to do with that?" Cagalli grinned as she walked past him with the ladder to the side of the house. "I'm going to climb in that window." She placed the ladder against the wall, Athrun grabbed her hand. "The hell you are." She put a hand on her hip. "Excuse me." Athrun looked concerned. "It's just in the short time I've known you, you seem to be rather clumsy. Then even more so you would be breaking and entering." Cagalli laughed. "I'm not clumsy, and it's fine she's Jane's friend, I guess." Athrun looked confused. "Who is Jane?" Cagalli shrugged her shoulders irritable about even saying anything about it. "My step mother." Athrun nodded. "Then how about I go in?" Cagalli shook her head. "No, you won't be able to fit though the window, just hold the ladder for me." Athrun wasn't happy about it, but eventually he went along with it. He watched as she climbed up the ladder to the window. Cagalli smiled to herself as she climbed in. "Yeah, that's right I'm just that good." She landed on the floor and glanced around then leaned out the window. "Athrun! Go to the back door. I'll let you in." Athrun let out a breath of air and walked to the back of the house again.

Cagalli walked down the wooden stairs to stand in the hallway. "Mrs. Baker? It's me Cagalli, Jane Attha sent me." Cagalli didn't like the silence and walked into the laundry room and opened the back door so that Athrun could come in. Athrun cautiously stepped in through the door and looked around. Cagalli smiled and took his left hand into her right hand. "Come on, nothing is going to bite you in here." Athrun raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't be so sure about that. Where is Mrs. Baker?" Cagalli shrugged slightly as she led him through the house. "I haven't found her yet, but she's practically deaf, so she probably just doesn't hear me." Athrun starred at the odd figurines on the tables, and bookshelves. "A collector?" Cagalli was opening a door that led to the sun room. "I'm not going to lie, she is a creepy old woman." Athrun smirked. "So that's the reason you texted me, and asked me to come here. It was because you were scared to be here, alone." Cagalli shook her head. "no, I just figured if you weren't busy after visiting your mom you would want to hang out with me." He starred at her as she became irritated looking at the empty dusty room. She started to mumble something incoherent. "Cagalli?" She shook her head. "I'm just getting agitated that I can't find her! I'll be right back, I'm going upstairs." She let go of his hand and walked away. Athrun put his hands in his pocket and glanced around the room as he listened to Cagalli walk up creaking wooden stairs. "I feel like I'm in some lame horror movie."

He jumped back when he heard Cagalli scream. He looked around and grabbed the first thing he saw and ran till he saw the steps. He quickly climbed up them and looked around the rooms until he found Cagalli sitting on the floor with her face buried in her knees and her cell phone on the floor beside a closed door. He ran to her side and knelt beside her and dropped the owl shaped lamp on the floor. He carefully grabbed her shoulders. "Cagalli, what happened." She looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I think she's dead. I called 911." Athrun starred at her and glanced to the door. "Is she in there?" Cagalli choked slightly. "Yeah beside her bed on the floor." Athrun nodded and stood up straight. "I'll be right back." Athrun opened the door and walked over beside the bed and sat down on his knees beside the elderly woman, he checked her pulse, sure enough there wasn't any. He stood up and walked back out of the room back to Cagalli. She looked at him obviously terrified. "Hey, come on let's go outside." Cagalli shakily stood up. "Okay." Athrun sat down with her on the front porch. "Are you alright?" Cagalli nodded. "Yeah, I just want to go home." Athrun looked up. "I think you have to wait for the paramedics to get here."

Flay was hanging out with Sting, and Tolle. "So you told Mirialla, you wanted to take a break?"

Tolle nodded his head as he was throwing a baseball in the air and catching it over and over. "Yeah, we need space, maybe end it for good."

Sting looked halfway surprised. "Seriously dude?"

Tolle smiled sadly. "Seriously."

Flay was fixing her hair. "Was she upset?"

Tolle shook his head. "Not when I did it, I don't know about afterwards."

Flay smiled sweetly. "Well I know a pigtailed somewhat hottie who needs a guy."

Tolle laughed. "Ahahaha, Flay! Too soon!"

Sting joined the laughter. "The girl after, Cagalli's boyfriend?"

Tolle layed back on the carpet. "Mama bear is on the move."

Just then a scanner started going off saying, Mrs. Baker was reported dead, and naming her address.

Flay stood up. "Oh no!" Sting looked at her. "You know that woman?"

Flay shook her head. "No, but Cagalli is there right now!"

Sting, and Tolle's eyes widened. "Shit." Flay started to leave. "Sorry guys, but I have to go."

Tolle sat up. "Poor Cagalli." Sting nodded. "So unlucky."

After a quiet drive to Cagalli's house, Athrun walked her to her front door. "Are you sure that you're alright?" Cagalli smiled to him. "Yeah, just tired." She then drew closer to him and kissed him gently on the cheek. "I'll be fine. I just want to take a shower and go to sleep." Athrun leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. "Alright, if you want you can text me. I'll see you tomorrow." She slowly opened the front door and waved to him. "Bye." He smiled. "Bye, Cagalli."

She walked in her house and glanced around as she walked into the living room and sat down. Merna came walking through. "Cagalli, are you alright?" She looked at her. "Is dad home?" Merna shook her head. "No they're all out, over at a friend's for dinner." Cagalli smiled. "I see, I'm going to my room then Merna. See you tomorrow, night." Merna watched her walk off . "Good night, Miss Cagalli."

Flay knocked on Cagalli's front door rapidly, Merna opened the door. "Flay?" Flay nodded. "Is Cagalli home?" Merna smiled. "Yes, but she went to bed about 30 minutes ago." Flay swallowed. "Oh, I'm sorry to ask but can I check to see if she's asleep?" Merna was slightly taken back. "Umm." Flay smiled sadly. "Merna, Mrs. Baker died today, and Cagalli was there." Merna's eyes widened, as she gasped. "Oh no! Come in!" Flay ran up the stairs as fast as she could and knocked on Cagalli's door. "Cagalli, it's me Flay! Open up." She knocked once more, Merna came up beside her. "She must be asleep." Flay shook her head. "No way. I know she isn't." Flay sat down in front of the door and crossed her arms. "Fine, don't open the door, Cagalli! Just so you know I'm not leaving! I will stay here all night, if I have to!" Merna raised an eyebrow. "Will you really?" Flay silently shook her head and whispered. "Ullen would kick me out." Merna laughed. "Probably so." What they didn't know was that Cagalli climbed out her window 20 minutes earlier.
