A Song For You

The next day, Bartfeldt holds a meeting at Eternal. Kira, Lacus, Athrun and Cagalli were on Eternal. Ramius and Kisara were shown on their various monitor screens.

Bartfeldt: Tomorrow, we will arrive near the Blue Cosmos. Now, we can enjoy for the time we have now before the war.

Ramius: Yeah...

The whole room was silence until Lacus spoken.

Lacus: This is our battle, our destiny...it is our fate to end this battle. Whether we'll win or lose, we must fight on.

Suddenly Lacus's SEED mode was activated and her eyes once again turn into a dull blue colour. Everyone was surprised at her change.

Lacus: Will we really get happiness after this war ends? Or will we need to fight again even after we've finished this battle? No one knows the answer. But all we can do now is to believe, believe in ourselves.

Kira smiles at her; he too, activates his SEED mode.

Kira: Ah... A strong flame doesn't burn out, no matter how small it is, right?

Lacus: Yeah.

Athrun too, activate his SEED mode.

Athrun: Even though we will still wander why we are fighting this war, we still have to fight it.

Bartfeldt: Yah leh, yah leh, looks like three has awakened, except one.

Kira and the others look at him in confused as he look towards Cagalli.

Song 17: The Chosen Ones

Kira: Awakened? What does that mean, Bartfeldt-san?

Bartfeldt: The four of you (pointing at Kira, Lacus, Athrun and Cagalli) have the power of the SEED. Now, three have awakened, only left Miss Athha.

Athrun: Cagalli have that power too?!

Cagalli: W..What power?! I don't understand.

Lacus: You will know it when your time comes. Bartfeldt-san, do you know why are we the only one with that kind of power?

Bartfeldt: I'm not very sure. I just heard from some of the scientists that four successful coordinators were created sixteen years ago. I think the four were the four of you.

Athrun: Scientists?!

Cagalli: Successful?!

Lacus: Sixteen years ago?!

Kira: Created?!

Bartfeldt: I think the four of you are confused right now, alright, everyone dismiss! We'll rest for the days.

Kira: Lacus, let's go. You should rest.

Lacus: Hm.

Kira and Lacus went back to their room as Athrun look at them, then he turns towards Cagalli. She was still thinking about what Bartfeldt had said. Athrun glides towards her and place his hand on her shoulder as he smiles at her.

Athrun: Don't think too much about it. Wanna go for a walk?

Cagalli: Okay.

Back to Kira and Lacus, as they were on their way back to their room, Lacus look towards the space.

Kira: Lacus?

Lacus: What are we going to do after the war? Will we really get peace?

Kira: Lacus, everyone was thinking about that too. But if the war really ends, we'll find a place to live. A place where we can be happy, with our child.

Lacus: Hm.

On the other hand, Athrun and Cagalli were at the viewing room again. Athrun look at Cagalli at the corner of his eyes. Every second, he was admiring her beauty. Cagalli notice that he was looking at her, she turns aroud.

Cagalli: What's wrong? Something on my face?

Athrun: A..ah..n..no, it's nothing. It's just that...

Cagalli: That what?

Athrun: That you look cute sometimes.

Cagalli: "Cute? What was he trying to say?" What do you mean by that?

Athrun: Er...nothing... "Man, I can't bring myself to tell her my feelings. Sigh, maybe next time..."

Cagalli: What do you want to do after the war ends?

Athrun: Eh?!

Cagalli: Oh man, can you dig your ears next time? I said what do you want to do after the war ends?

Athrun: Er...maybe get a job or something. I'm not very sure. What about you? What do you want to do?

Cagalli: I'm thinking about it too. Maybe I'll go with Kira and Lacus.

Athrun: Soka...

Athrun looks down, Cagalli lean forward and kiss him on the cheek. Athrun blush madly as Cagalli smiles at him.

Cagalli: Cheer up; it makes me sad to see you like this.

Athrun smiles at her and lean forward and hug her.

Athrun: I'm glad that I've met you, Cagalli.

Cagalli: Athrun...

Athrun: I have to go and talk to Kira.

Athrun, too, kiss her on the cheek. Cagalli blush.

Athrun: See you later.

Back to Kira, he came out from the room after Lacus had slept.

Athrun: Kira!

Kira: Athrun?

Athrun: How's Lacus?

Kira: She just slept. Let's go somewhere else and talk.

Athrun: Alright.

They went to a corridor where no one was there.

Athrun: Tomorrow is the final battle. What do you plan to do?

Kira: ...... We just have to wait for the end result. We can't predict the future...

Athrun: Kira...

Kira: How's you and Cagalli? Have you told her your feelings?

Athrun (blush): How did you...?

Kira: It's very obverse that the two of you are liking each other. Lacus notice it too. Athrun, Cagalli does like you. Maybe because of the 'twins' stuff, I can see that she likes you a lot. She's a nice girl, Athrun.

Athrun: I know...but...! I just can't bring myself to tell her that!

Kira (smile): Just calm down, Athrun. You can do it, believe in yourself. I'm counting on you to take care of her for me, my future brother-in-law.

Athrun: Kira!!

Kira: Haha!! Just joking, I just wish you good luck. Go to rest now, tomorrow you need your energy.

Kira pats Athrun's shoulder and glides off, leaving Athrun gazing at the space
