Summary: What if Nicol had a twin sister? After many the many trails of war, Nicol's sister has moved on along with Yzak, Dearka and Athrun after his death. How will they all react when they bump into someone else that looks exactly like Nicol… Is it really Nicol? Or just an assassin out to kill them?

Author's Notes: Ahahaha… I finally got a plot…. As you can see, it's changed a lot since the last chapter… anyways, this chapter, nothing much really happens. I just stuck two flashbacks really… gahhhh…. I know it's a lil boring but hopefully the next chapter will be more interesting… well, here's chapter two!!

Special thanks goes to lightyearsaway and Capricorn Pair for reviewing! Well, onward with the story!

Chapter 2


Nichola sat playing the piano, reflecting on everything and also thinking of a name for a piano piece that she and her brother had composed. After chasing her brother and catching, the two had their little fight and then went their separate ways after their mother yelled at them for all of that 'nonsense'. Nichola and her brother were very close. Although they argued a lot, they were very close. They were always together, they had even both made the decision to apply for ZAFT together. Neither of them had expected to really go up the ranks of ZAFT, but when they were presented with a the red uniform, it was a total shock. Nichola giggled remembering Dearka's and Yzak's expressions. She still found it funny how both of them could never tell her or Nicol apart, especially the first time they were all going to meet with Miguel.

Flashback

It was almost time for their training. Nicol was already headed towards the meeting point/class room with Athrun. Nichola had already been assigned to another squad and was headed to meet with them.

"Where do you think your going?" came a voice behind her.

"Huh?" she said as she turned around.

"The training room is this way Nicol. Come on. I have no time for you or anyone else to be fooling around, Nicol," snapped Yzak. It was Dearka and Yzak. Nichola knew who they were but they didn't know she was.

"I think you got the wro-"

"Come on Nicol, let's go," said Dearka as he grabbed the poor green haired teenager and lead him in the right direction.

"But!"

"Shut up," snapped Yzak. She protested but too late, she was already lead to their destination. The three entered the room. Miguel looked up as Athrun and Nicol turned around.

"Hi?" squeaked Nichola. Dearka and Yzak looked at Nichola then at Nicol then back at Nichola.

"You pricks! Is this some sort of joke?" demanded Yzak.

"Gomen nasai Yzak,"[1] apologized Nicol. "It would be nice of you to let go of my twin Dearka." Dearka let go of Nichola's arm.

"Twin?" questioned Athrun.

"Hai."[2]

"Nice to meet you all," greeted Nichola nervously. Miguel stood up, taking charge, as he was the teacher for this lesson.

"You prick! Why didn't you tell us you had a twin?" snapped Yzak.

"Well it never crossed my mind," replied Nicol.

"Well this is certainly interesting," mused Miguel as he approached them. "What squad are you with?"

"I was recently assigned to the Cameron squad and today was our first meeting but I'm late now…" she said. Late on her first day. What a fine way to start off things.

Miguel felt sympatric towards the girl, knowing Cameron's harsh ways from personal experience.

"Boy oh boy. Cameron is going to kill for being late, especially on the first day," sighed Miguel. "Tell you what. I'll have you transferred here instead. That a way, you won't have to endure the evil ways of Captain Cameron."

"Arigatou gozaimatshita," [3]thanked Nichola politely.

"NE?!" [4]demanded Yzak.

"Well, you did bring her here Yzak," replied Miguel with a laugh.

End of flashback

After that, Yzak and Miguel had a big conversation, Yzak losing of course being the student. After that, Dearka, Yzak and even Athrun had a hard time telling them apart. But as time passed by, they eventually figure out who was who. It was even funnier when Yzak found out that the twins had been assigned to the same squad as him and with the same ranking.

Flashback

It was the day of their graduation. They were all going to be announced what rank and squad they were to be in. Yzak, Dearka, Rusty and Athrun had already received their rankings, all with the red uniform.

"And the last two of the Le Klueze squad are: Nicol and Nichola Amarfi," announced the head of the Academy.

"YATTA!!" [5] chorused the twins happily.

"NE?! HOW DID THOSE TWO GET INTO OUR SQUAD AND FINISH IN THE TOP TEN?!" [4]yelled Yzak. Miguel went on to explain how high they had scored etc etc. Miguel was a little disappointed that he finished 11th overall, just missed the elite group but he was still happy that he was still a part of the Klueze squad. Yzak continued to rant about how he didn't want either Nicol or Nichola on the squad. Little did anyone know, Yzak was kind of happy that the two twerps had gotten in their squad. They had kind of grown on him.

Once the ceremonies were done, the group headed out. It was when Yzak's mother had picked the perfect time to get a picture of them. Of course Yzak had protested but his mother insisted.

"Miguel? Can I borrow your hat?" asked Nicol.

"Sure. What for?" asked Miguel handing the hat over to the younger boy.

"Alright! Everyone ready?" asked Yzak's mom, Ezaria. She was only of the members of ZAFT's High Council. The twins put the arms over each other's shoulders as Nicol put the hat on. They both flashed goofy grins.

Who knew they could be so perky? Dearka saluted the camera while Miguel, Rusty, Athrun and Yzak just smiled. Well, Miguel was kind of smiling. Yzak's mom took the picture.

End of flashback

Yzak's mother had all given them a copy of that picture. It was one of Nichola's personal favourites. She sighed. Both Rusty and Miguel were gone. Both she and Nicol had gone to visit Miguel's family. His sister was one of the most adorable little girls she had seen. Nichola sighed again. She kind of wondered if anymore of them would die. That was the reason that Nicol had convinced their father to have her discharged. She sighed once more and stopped playing piano. The time they had spent with Miguel and Rusty were short and she really missed them. She then realized she was going to miss her brother once he left. A single tear from her eyes and she heard the door open. Nichola turned to see Nicol at the door. Not a word was said as she gave her brother a hug as tears fell from both twins. It was then Nichola had came up a name for their piece. The Theme of Tears.


Nichola clapped loudly as Nicol finished his piece at their concert. She knew Athrun was somewhere in the crowd. Both her and Nicol really appreciated that he had come all that way just for them. [AN: She sees him (Athrun) as an older brother type of figure.]
Nicol's entire family stood at the space port. Nicol saluted his family.

"Well then…" said Nicol.

"Be careful this time as well," said Mrs. Amarfi.

"Hai. I'll be going now," [2] said Nicol picking up his briefcase. Nicol glanced at his twin. Before another words could be said she gave him a hug.

"Sayonara," [6]she whispered in his ear. Nicol smiled and she let go of him before he went off on his way.


"Nicol!" called Athrun as he spotted the green-haired teen going down the hallways.

"Hey Athrun," replied Nicol turning around as Athrun caught up to him. "Thanks for coming to the concert."

"No, it was a good concert," replied Athrun.

"You didn't fall asleep?" asked Nicol with a small grin. That took Athrun off guard.

"Of course not."

"Actually, I wanted to play a much more appropriate piece," replied Nicol looking ahead of him.

"Well, in our current situation…" He trailed off. "Once this Operation Spit-Break is over, the state of things will also change," said Athrun.

"It seems so. However, this time we were able to rest pretty well," added Nicol changing the direction of the conversation.

"Yeah," agreed Athrun.

"It's my first time carrying out a descending mission," admitted Nicol.

"It's my first time too," replied Athrun making Nicol feel a little better that they were in the same boat.

"Ah, that's right." The ship began to take off as the two continued to head down the halls.

"Where's Nichola?" asked Athrun. He would've thought they'd come together.

"She was discharged."

"Oh…"
