Chapter One: The Ultimate Brew

Kira Yamato spun around, and found himself facing an empty corridor on the Archangel.

He ran a hand through his brown hair, violet eyes narrowed in annoyance. "Goddammit. I could have sworn someone was following me."

He dropped his hand and sighed. Actually, when he thought about it, someone probably was stalking him- that psycho girl, his ex-girlfriend, Flay Allster. "I told her it was a mistake! If that's not a break-up line, then I don't know what is!" Kira thought angrily, turning around and continuing his stride down the hall.

He sighed again. This was all getting too stressful. He led a busy life, you know. He fought battles, tried to kill his best friend, had a psychotic ex-girlfriend... Life was hard.

He needed a vacation.

But he also needed something much more than a vacation...

He needed a cup of coffee.

Kira screwed his eyes shut, wishing fervently for a really good, hot cup of java. And than suddenly, he was THERE.

WHERE? Everyone asks.

THERE.

No, not there. THERE.

Kira was now at... THE GS LOUNGE!

The GS Lounge was the ULTIMATE hangout... along with a being a super-awesome coffee house. Comfy, squishy, dark green couches were scattered about the place, and a flickering neon sign that covered one wall proudly proclaimed: The GS Lounge.

Kira dragged himself over to the counter, where Andrew Waltfeld stood sampling his newest brew.

"It needs more lemon..." Waltfeld muttered, making frantic notes on a pad of Post-Its.

"I need coffee," Kira said weakly, suddenly feeling as though his whole existence depended upon getting one really, really good cup of coffee. He hoisted himself up into a stool and laid his head on the counter.

Waltfeld eyed him critically. "You need more than coffee," he said seriously. "You need... THE DESERT TIGER'S ULTIMATE BREW!" He cackled insanely, turning his back on Kira and beginning to insanely measure this coffee and that coffee and some other random things before mixing it together.

"I need a break," Kira said vaguely, rubbing his eyes. "I need coffee. I need a coffee break!" He laughed, a bit insanely. "Coffee break! A break that involves coffee. Heehee!"

Waltfeld smacked him upside the head. "Pull yourself together, kid! The coffee is almost ready..." He glanced to the coffee machine, which gurgled innocently. He hoped that the coffee would be ready in time, before Kira dissolved into a giggly mess of odd sayings.

Kira however, would not stop giggling, finding himself to be too funny for words. "Coffee break!"

Once Kira got his coffee and had regained enough sanity to stop giggling, he and the Desert Tiger started to watch the war on the T.V. that was mounted on one wall. Here's a random fact of the GS Lounge- you know how the sign is flickering? Yeah, well, Waltfeld was supposed to buy a new one, but then he went and spent all their money on a big screen T.V. Nobody argued with him- the T.V. was JUST. TOO. COOL.

"Hey Kira, the ship is about to fire that escape pod from the earth forces," Waltfeld commented, sipping his coffee. He closed his eyes happily. His Ultimate Brew was too awesome for words.

Kira sat straight up and hissed, "No! Not cool!" Then he turned whiny. "I hate her! I don't want to see her again! No FAIR! I had to act dead to get rid of her the first time, now what am I going to do?"

Waltfeld eyed him nervously. This kid might need more than the Ultimate Brew to regain sanity...

After a brief, yet awkward, moment the escape pod blew up.

"Wasn't Flay on that escape pod Kira?" Waltfeld said suddenly, realizing why the kid was freaking out.

Kira pouted, then took another sip of coffee. "I hate my life."

Ploof. Flay popped out of nowhere, right in front of Kira. Waltfeld shuffled off to stand in the shadows. Kira was in complete disbelief. "Why me?" This he just got annoyed, and his violet eyes narrowed in annoyance

"God, I can't get rid of this girl! She must have been blown up on purpose. The Earth sent her in that escape pod 'cause they just want to make me miserable! Ughh!

As more psychotic thoughts ran through his mind, Flay threw herself onto Kira. Kira, already in a psychotic state I remind you, pushed her aside.

"Darn you, you stalker you! I can't even enjoy the Desert Tiger's Ultimate Brew! Hehehehe," he laughed psychotically, rather enjoying his coffee.

"Kira, how could you break up with me? Don't you want to protect me? It's because your a coordinator isn't IT?" Flay says with that ugly, psychotic face. She approached him once again, looking for the comfort we all know she DOESN'T DESERVE.

"COORDINATE THIS!" yelled Kira as he slapped her across her face. He then noticed that because of her he has spilt some coffee. "Damn girl! Now where will I get some finely brewed coffee!" He cried dramatically, completely ignoring that he is in a Coffee House.

Another hand came out of nowhere, smacking him upside the head. Kira's twin, Cagalli, stood there, looking peeved. "You're in a coffee house, idiot!" she informed him sharply, crossing her arms over her chest.

Kira instantly lost his psychotic, vengeful edge. "Oh." Then he came up with a comeback. "But- but I need a really, really good cup of coffee! Not just ordinary coffee. I need..." he cast around for a word. "EXTRAordinary coffee."

Athrun Zala, Kira's best friend (yeah, the one he had been trying to kill) suddenly appeared as well. "I heard of this one place that had really good coffee once," he commented, running a hand through his blue hair. "I can't remember what it is, though..." He shrugged. "Mystery..." Then his head snapped up. "Yzak! Good coffee place! What is it?"

Yzak, who had also just appeared, narrowed his icy blue eyes. "How the hell would I know?" he snapped before stalking away in a Yzak-like RAGE.

Dearka, also now present, tapped his chin thoughtfully. "You know, I remember talking about that place. I think it involved hot girls and swimsuits..." he eyed Miriallia, who had also made her presence at the GS Lounge known. "You know, I could do with seeing YOU in a swimsuit," he said suggestively.

She opened her mouth to reply scathingly when someone interrupted her.

"WHAT? Don't talk to my girlfriend like that!" the new boy cried.

Mouths dropped. "TOLLE?" everyone cried out, shocked. What, you want a list of who's there?

Fine.

"TOLLE?" cried Kira, Flay, Dearka, Yzak, Athrun, Cagalli, Lacus, Miriallia, Sai, Murrue, Waltfeld, and Natarle.

Tolle dropped his angry pose. "Yeah?"

"You're ALIVE?" Sai asked, eyes wide behind his super-cool orange glasses.

Tolle nodded. "Yeah. Right before my impending doom I wanted some coffee, so here I am."

Everyone was silent, thinking: "Okaaayyyyy..."

"Damn," Dearka muttered, wondering if he would EVER get to hit on Miriallia anymore now.

"We all come here for coffee," Mu La Flaga said causally, strolling calmly into the room.

"MU?"

"Yeah, that's me."

"You're alive," Murrue said tearfully.

Mu almost rolled his eyes. "Of course I am. I can't just DIE, after all."

Murrue was immediately practically attached to his side, and Mu all the sudden realized just how Kira felt.

Then, all of a sudden, a green-haired boy walked in. He was shuffling through a pile of music sheets. He looked up with a warm grin.

"I heard that the beach makes some fine coffee," Nicol said calmly.

More silence.

"NICOL!" Athrun screeched, enveloping him in a hug. "YOU'RE ALIVE!"

"Mmm, yeah," Nicol said. "Can't breathe..."

Athrun let go hurriedly, trying to regain his suave exterior look.

"The beach..." Kira repeated, looking thoughtful.

It was then that he knew his quest.

He had to get to the beach for a really, REALLY good cup of coffee.


We have three loves: Chicken, coconut powder, and watermelon jolly ranchers.
