"Kira, hey, Kira! Guess what!" Lacus exclaims. "What?" Kira asks. "Christmas is on its way! I can't wait!" Lacus says. "Oh really? I'm sure the orphan children will be pleased to get gifts, I agree, they will be." Kira says, misunderstood of what Lacus truly meant. "No, no, Kira! I mean, for us!" Lacus says. "Oh, haha, silly me!" Kira says. "Well, it is late so it is time to go to sleep. Good night, Lacus." Kira says. "Good night, Kira." Lacus replies. Kira turns of the light and they go to sleep.

Next Morning(1 week later)

"Lacus, wake up." Kira says, shaking Lacus. "Huh.. oh.. hi, Kira.. good.. morning!" Lacus says while blinking. "Lacus, what's today?" Kira says. "Uh.. umm..I... don't know!" Lacus says. "Christmas, silly!" Kira explains. "Oh my goodness! I forgot!" Lacus exclaims. "And, I have something to give you." Kira says, bending down on one knee.

"Lacus, I've been wanting to give this to you for so long. I decided today is the best to do it. Lacus, will you take me as your husband, will... will... you marry me? Kira says. Lacus was astonished. She was absolutely speechless! "Kira, I.... I... will." Lacus replies. She then holds out her left hand and Kira slips the ring on her middle finger. Kira then picks her up and dances her in the air. "Lacus, thank you so much!" Kira says. Then they kiss.

"Look at the love birds!" The kids at the orphanage say in unison in their kiddie voices. "Oh my goodness! I did not know you all were here!" Lacus says. All the kids giggle and Reverend Malchio walks in. "My my, we might need a wedding." Reverend Malchio says and all the kids giggle again. "Well, for now, let's all go open presents!" A little kid says. "Yes!" All the kids say. All the kids open presents that they got from everyone at the orphanage. Lacus goes to fix dinner while Kira goes out onto the porch.

Meanwhile, at Earth Alliance Headquarters.

"Captain Ramius, we are relieving you of your duties for a vacation, along with the rest of the crew. Would you all like to?" An officer of EA says. "Boy, would we like to, this has been a tough war and we all are tired. Thank you, officer." Captain Ramius says. "Good, then from here on, you all are relieved of your duties until further notice. We will put all of you all on record has hiatus." The officer says. "Thank you, officer. Well, shall we get going, you all?" Captain Ramius says. "Sure! Good bye!" Everyone says in unison. They all go in their separate directions for their vacations. It'll be a nice vacation that they all need, when they come back, it'll be work, work, and more work.

Meanwhile, at ORB

"So, Cagalli, you're taking a vacation? Wow, you must be tired, haha." Athrun laughs. "You can't blame me! It was a war we went through, you know." Cagalli gets angry.

A few days later

"You and Lacus are having a wedding in January? Ha-ha. I never imagined You and Lacus would fall for each other!" Athrun says to Kira while they're talking on the phone. "Haha, so funny, Athrun. Yeah, we are. We are trying to invite everyone, including you and Cagalli. Speaking of Cagalli, did you ever propose to her?" Kira says. "Me? Nah. She's way too self-centered. Besides, you would know that! You're her older brother!" Athrun says. "I wouldn't say older or Cagalli might get mad." Kira says. "Yeah, she insists that she's older." Athrun replies. "Yeah, you're right, ha-ha. Well, see you later, Athrun." Kira replies. "Bye." Athrun says and they both hang up the phone.

"Lacus, where would you like to have the wedding?" Kira asks. "I don't know, Kira, strange question. Ha-ha. Well, hmm, let me think. How about.. no.. well.. yeah.. but.. no..." Lacus says. "LACUS! No really, decide." Kira says. "Sorry, Kira. I guess I don't know.. How about... Reverend Malchio's backyard. Since we've been staying at Reverend Malchio's anyway, it'll be much easier." Lacus replies. "That's a good idea, Lacus. Shall we start in planning it?" Kira asks. "Sure."
