"Hey, miss Cagalli," Ari said sitting on the other side of her.

"Huh," Cagalli looked over at her innocently. She was in a ZAFT red uniform. Cagalli had never seen her in a uniform; she looked different from usual.

"I said hey," she giggled.

"Sure," Cagalli sat back and the lights turned off.

They briefed everyone for what they already knew, but there is always one cough Cagalli cough that doesn't listen. Cagalli was to be the chairman's guard during, before and after meetings, but the rest she had off. Athrun was to be sitting along side of his father as possibly future leader. They were to be arriving in two hours and were told to get ready.

"Why did we need rooms if we aren't even on the ship for a night?" Cagalli asked walking with Athrun to the bridge.

He looked at her, "After this we're going to earth," he said.

"Really? Oh wow, it has been so long since I've been there," she exclaimed excitedly. She went skipping around Athrun following after her. She bumped into someone and ran into a wall. "Ow, crap," she said.

"What the language," a deep voice said.

"Hump," she crossed her arms. "I can swear all I want, what you going to do about it?"

He sighed and continued on, "Kids these days."

"Old farts these days," Cagalli called after him.

"Cagalli, you alright," Athrun rushed up to her.

"I hit my back on the railing," she whined.

He rubbed her back, "Better?"

"A little," she mumbled, "I'm hungry, I want a cookie,"

"They don't have cookies on board, you think you'd know that by now," Athrun sighed at the blondes stupidity.

"You dad has cookies, I know it," she grinned skipping off to an unknown destination until she opened the door and the chairman was lying on a bed rubbing his temples.

"Get out of here Cagalli," he yelled not looking up.

"Aw, you're so mean, you always ruin my fun," she sat on the edge of his bed, "How do you know it is me?"

"Do are the only one that doesn't knock," he said. "What do you want?"

"I was wondering where you put the cookies?" she asked. He glanced at her before dropping his head again, "Hey, it's me we're talking about."

She sighed and pointed to his traveller bag.

"Thanks," she giggled going to the bag.

Athrun arrived as Cagalli was going through the bag, "Chairman," Athrun saluted.

"Athrun, what a pleasure," he rolled his eyes.

"Sorry sir, I'll just get Cagalli and go," he said. Cagalli had a cookie hanging out of her mouth and had her arms and legs wrapped around a large glass jar.

"I want to stay in here," she said, "You stay too, have a cookie," she pulled off the lid and Athrun refused. "They are good, he always has some in his office bottom draw," she said.

The chairman glared at her in a 'how do you know that?' look before sighing

"Hey, what do you think I do when you are out, my work?" she laughed.

"When are you leaving?" he asked.

"After you and Athrun have a cookie?" she floated over to the bed and opened the lid. Two cookies floated out and they took it. "Are you sick sir?"

"No, me? Never," he rolled his eyes.

"Its okay, when I'm sick I sleep," Cagalli said, "You should sleep more,"

"Whenever I try a little blonde natural decides to come and wake me," he growled.

"Bye sir," she ran away after dropping the jar. Athrun followed after her in a rush.

"Cagalli," Athrun called pulling her down to put two feet on the ground.

"Athrun," she smiled up at him.

"Do you know what you are doing, he could kill you," he said.

"He would have done it by now if he was. Gosh you are just like him, you both need to loosen up," she floated away.

A message came over saying they were to be landing soon. "Bye-bye, Mr Zala," she said saluting him and running away.

Cagalli went to the hanger and went looking for Dearka. He was flirting with some poor innocent girl. "Dearka," she jumped onto his shoulders and looked at his face.

"Better mood?" he asked.

"Yep, nightmare, over it," she smiled, "Who is that?"

"This is…" he looked at here.

"Lily," she said like he should know that. She saluted Cagalli, "Congratulations on making FAITH." She then walked away.

"What's eating her?" Cagalli asked.

"People think you are too reckless to be in FAITH, too young, immature, innocent," he said trailing off.

"And because I'm a natural," she said. Getting off, "Did you know my father is going to be there?"

"Yes," he smiled, "I've been informed."

"Isn't it brilliant?" she smiled.

"Yes," he nodded.

They were called to do whatever they were meant to be doing. Cagalli went looking for the Chairman; he was going to a meeting so she was needed.

She was to the right of the Chairman. He glanced at her, she was nervous. He smiled at her, "What if he doesn't believe it is me, what if he hates me because I'm in ZAFT?"

"Then he isn't a very good father," he said. EAF and ORB were waiting for them with their leaders in front of everyone else. Cagalli saw her father and quickly looked away stepping closer to the Chairman trying not to make it noticeable.

"Chairman," the EAF guy said coming forward. (I don't know his name so he in now Areal because I'm creative. I know someone is Areal but I'm not sure so it is now him.)

"Lord Areal," the Chairman said, "Lord Athha," he then said glancing at me for a reaction.

"Chairman," they shook hands. "You have a young set of guards this time," Her father said.

"Only the best," he smiled.

"Shall we go now," Areal said. They all left into a meeting room. Cagalli stood to the left of the chairman and Athrun stood on the right as future Chairman. Lord Athha kept looking at Cagalli except she would look at him.

They fought for hours and Cagalli stood like a good solider the whole time. They had a 5min break after two hours.

"Athrun go talk to him and Athha you guard him," The chairman muttered. He had another three guards so he would be fine for now.

"Father," Athrun said, "I'm going to go talk to someone," he started walking.

"Athha, go with him," he said loudly. Everyone looked at them for a moment before just thinking it is ironic.

"Lord Athha, Athrun Zala," Athrun introduced himself.

"Athrun, how are you? Meetings aren't very fun," he smiled glancing at Cagalli.

"No sir," he said.

"My daughter never enjoyed them," he said and Cagalli smirked.

"I think I understand what you are saying," he glanced at her.

"Why don't we go over there for a while, it is quite loud in here," Lord Athha said pointing to the empty meeting room.

"Yes sir," Athrun smiled. They went into the room.

"Cagalli," he asked quietly.

She smiled deviously, "Hey daddy,"

"Oh my lord, Cagalli I thought you were dead," he said hugging her.

"Yeah, sorry about that," she said looking guilty. "I get off half an hour after this meeting, I'll meet you outside."

He nodded. Cagalli hugged him tight. "I missed you so much," they both said.

Athrun's heart hurt, he was keeping them apart. The meeting was starting again and people started to file into the room. Lord Athha took his seat and Cagalli went back to her spot to the left of the Chairman.

She smiled at him and the chairman nodded back pleased. The meeting dragged on for what seemed like hours. Cagalli tried to be still the whole time. She diverted sides with the guard beside Athrun so he could entertain her under the table. (NOTHING WRONG YOU PERVERT).

When the meeting finally ended Cagalli dragged the chairman out of the building, to the hotel they were staying at and then ran to the lounge where her father was already waiting with his guards.

"Lord Athha," Cagalli saluted.

"You were one of the PLANTS chairman's bodyguards, am I correct?" he asked.

"Yes sir," she said formally while trying to hide her smirk.

"Is there something you want," he asked also trying to hide his smirk.

"I was wondering if we could talk over in meeting room one, I want to understand your point of remaining neutral in this war," she asked.

"I have nothing else to do so why not help you understand," he shrugged getting up and following her. Athrun was waiting in the room for them.

"Athrun, this is my father and father this is my best friend Athrun," she introduced.

"So this morning was a set up?" he smiled shaking hands with him.

"By the chairman himself," she smiled, "That is why I'm here, I was meant to be delivering a disk to you so I could see you again but I got sick and someone else did it then this came up and I literally jumped at the occasion," she said.

"Lady Cagalli," a guard asked curiously.

"Hey," she smiled.

Everyone started smiling their princess is still alive. "Sit down," Cagalli said, "I need to explain why I'm in red."

"It isn't your colour," he shook his head. She pouted, "I meant it looks good on you but doesn't suit you."

"I have to explain why I'm in ZAFT," Cagalli said. Athrun held her hand under the table and her father sat on the other side of the table. He rubbed his leg against hers and wrapped in around hers.

"Go ahead," he smiled.

"When I was caught on an island after getting shot down, I got taken prisoner but they trained me in combat and then I went into battle. ZAFT are being misjudged, they are good people and Patrick helped me so much,"

"Wait who is Patrick?" he interrupted.

"Chairman Patrick Zala, Athrun's father," she said.

"You call the Chairman by his first name?" he asked.

"I call Lord Athha dad," she joked, "Nah, we're on friendly terms." She smiled, "Back to my story, for the past few months, ZAFT have been looking after me very well, they haven't hurt me or mistreated me. They all know I'm a natural but treat me as equal, they believe we are equal until you start firing at the. Patrick has made me a member of FAITH; they would kill me if I declined the offer but now I like it. I've made a tone of new friends and I'm happy and free. I promise when the time comes and I'm needed back in ORB, I'll come but for now, I request you let me explore what is right and wrong. Until I have to take over ORB."

"Hmm," he said, "But Cagalli, then you will be leaning towards the PLANTS because that is where you lived."

"I'll look at all pieces of the puzzle," she said.

He sighed, "I agree you want freedom but running off and joining another army is not the kind of freedom I can grant."

"I'm going to do it with or without your permission but it all determines weather or not I'm coming home," she said.

He sighed and leaned his chin on his hand. He shut his eyes for a few moments. Athrun was reminded of Cagalli when she was thinking, "I want you to come home today, I want you to be safe, you are my baby girl, I want you to be happy so, come home when I call you but… keep in contact, okay baby," he said getting up.

Athrun let go of Cagalli's hand and took his leg away. Her father stood behind her and hugged her tightly. "I love you, baby, come home safely please," he whispered.

"Wait for me to come home okay, I don't want you going anyway so, wait for me, I'll bee home on my eighteenth birthday, the latest,"

"That is just over two years," he said, "I'll send you the motorbike I promised."

She squealed and hugged him tighter, "Thank you, thank you, thank you,"

"Love you baby girl," he smiled.

Cagalli and Athrun went back to their rooms, which were beside each other. Cagalli flopped on her bed trying to stop the tears from staining her pillow. She slept lightly that night, not peacefully though. Cagalli was running around annoying everyone until she had to start her shift. She was told she wasn't allowed to wear her uniform until she calmed down. Everyone else was ordered to wear the correct uniform so she was the only one walking around in casual cloths, but she didn't even notice.

She had earphones in her ears, lollypop hanging out of her mouth, long baggy pants that were too long for her, and an extra large jumper. She looked about thirteen now. She was humming along with the music.

"What do you want to do?" she asked smiling evilly. She jumped to the place beside her and put an innocent face on, "I don't know Cagalli." She then moved to another spot, "But don't you go causing havoc or I'll be angry and kill you," she jumped into her first spot, "You are no fun," she whined. She jumped in the second spot and went dramatic, "He'll kill you Cagalli, don't do it, Cagalli why can't you just behave," she was begging. She jumped into the third spot, "Be wise and listen to him, you are causing me to have a headache," she said less dramatically. She went to her first spot, "You guys don't let me have any fun, I'm going to run off to ORB with my father," she jumped into the second spot, "don't go Cagalli," then the third, "No, I command you to stay. I'm Chairman; you have to do what I say." She found a new spot, "Come with me Cagalli, let's go home," she went to her original spot, "I really need a life," she then started walking again. She heard chuckling and turned around.

"Let me guess, you, Athrun, The Chairman and your father got one line in there," Dearka smiled standing along side of Ari, Zara, Kei, and Yzak.

"Did I get them that good?" Cagalli joked.

"The headache gave away the chairman, the constant whining about saving you was 100 Athrun and your father was just your father," Dearka smiled.

"Need something to do?" Zara asked her.

"No, I'm quite happy walking the halls endlessly talking to myself," she rolled her eyes, "What do you have in mind??"

"Nothing, just curious," she shrugged walking past, smirking to herself, "We have a shift to go to."

Cagalli clenched her fists and bit her tongue trying to stop her irritation from spewing from her mouth. She mentally cursed at her as she growled.

"I'm not working, so let's go get some ice-cream okay Miss Cagalli," Kei said smiling widely.

"Ice-CREAM," she said getting more excited with each second.

They sat in a café, eating ice-cream Cagalli, and sipping coffee Kei. Cagalli swung her legs on the chair which seemed that a ten year-old could reach but she couldn't.

"So does the eye hurt?" Cagalli asked after taking the spoon out of her mouth.

He shook his head, "Not normally, I sometimes get headaches though."

"Did it hurt?" she asked

"For a few months," his face was emotionless. Cagalli smiled widely at him, "You are really immature," he smirked.

"Am not," she poked her tongue at him, crossed her arms and looked the other way.

"Are too,"

"Am not,"

"You so are,"

"I am so not,"

"Whatever,"

"Damn right,"

She glared at him until smiling her usual childish smile. "Yuck, Athrun drinks coffee too, it is so gross. One time when I was still living in ORB I tried some and I was sick for a week," she said changing topic as easy as the last one started.

"Your taste buds are immature as you are," he smiled, "Mr Waltfeld makes the perfect coffee, but he isn't here right now."

"…" her eyes widened, "The desert tiger?" she muttered.

"Yes, have you met him?" he asked.

"Once, Kira and I met him in the city one day and there was a little fight so he took me home to get cleaned up and a few days later he got murdered," she muttered sadly.

"N-no," he said shocked. Cagalli couldn't meet his eyes.

"It was a kill or be killed situation," Cagalli muttered to the ground. "It was inevitable."

"I understand," he said after a moment, "This is a war after all."

They sat in silence until Cagalli started humming to herself, "So what do you want to do now," she smirked.

"Your shift is starting soon," he said.

Cagalli looked at her watch and groaned, "Awe, I don't want to go."

"Doom on, go get dressed and I'll bring you there," he said putting some money on the table and leaving.

"But my uniform is itchy," she said climbing onto his back.

"Quit complaining, you don't have to wear it all the time," he said bouncing her once.

She bit his ear in retaliation. "Hey," he called.

"My bad," she smiled. She got changed and went to the meeting like a good solider and stood up straight and waited.
