Chapter 2: Unexpected meeting
Anna: Okay, this is the longest part…the part about Cagalli and Athrun arguing, it was just a comical addition, a thing of no importance at all. I just added it to make a few laughs that were never present in gundam seed.
Ayumi: Come on, you laughed throughout gundam seed, especially when Fllay die—
Anna: Covers Ayumi"s piehole When Fllay uh..di-did the uh…oh, just forget it. Just read on.
"Lacus…Lacus Clyne?" Kira blurted out as he saw her face.
"How ever did you know my name?"
The girl said, smiling.
"I used to sit beside you in elementary school, and we played together every recess, remember? And I used to hear your name too, over and over again every single day …you were quite popular with your singing, and everybody talked about you. Besides, the daughter of the PLANT supreme chairman would be known all over space."
"Oh, so you're Kira? Oh my, I didn't recognize you…"
She then started to pick up some of the cans that fell.
"Lacus, would you mind if I asked you to go over to my house for say, dinner?"
Lacus smiled. "Of course, I won't mind." She got into the car while Kira got the rest of the purchases in the car.
"HARO!"
A pink ball-like thing landed into Lacus while she got into the car.
"Oh, mister pink, I was looking for you." She held on to it until they reached Kira's apartment. Kira looked at the Haro for a while, bewildered.
Kira drove to his apartment, stopping when they arrived. They went out of the car, with Lacus behind him.
Suddenly, a mobile phone rang. It was Lacus", and she answered it with a smile on her face.
"Oh, I"m so sorry to have left without permission, I won't do it again. Oh, I'm here at a friend's house." She then gave directions to Kira's apartment.
"Okay, thanks, bye, Azu-chan"
"Azu-chan?" Kira was surprised at the very mention of the nickname.
Kira had a surprised expression on his face that clearly made Lacus curious.
"Was it something I said? I"m sorry." Lacus looked at him with mixed bewilderment and curiosity.
Kira shook it off with a smile and a "no, it was nothing"
"Oh, may I ask, would you mind if my fiancé comes over to pick me up?" Lacus said, breaking the ice.
"Of course I won't mind. It's alright."
A car stopped at the front of Kira's apartment. A blue-haired man with emerald eyes got out of the car and knocked on the door.
"Lacus, are you there?"
Kira opened the door. A wave of surprise showed on both their faces.
"Oh, Azu-chan, you're here!"
Lacus ran to the door, past Kira and kissed the blue-haired man.
"Lacus! I spent the last half hour looking for you. You should've given me a specific location, at least. I got to at least 3 apartments before I came across this one"
Lacus giggled. "I"m sorry, Athrun…"
Athrun looked at the man behind Lacus once again…the man who opened the door. It was then that it hit them both.
"Athrun…Zala?"
"Kira Yamato?
"it is you!" they said at the same time, embracing each other like brothers.
"We've still got it.." Kira said as they let go of each other.
"You bet, considering that we haven't seen each other for awhile."
"You…know each other?" Lacus and Reena said in surprise.
"Of course, we attended the same prep school together. He was my best friend…" Kira smiled at them both.
"And I still am" Athrun said. Lacus chuckled.
It was then decided that the couple would stay for the night, as there were heavy rains a few hours later. It was 10 pm, and they were having a mini karaoke party. Athrun and Kira sounded a bit off, though. Lacus was singing when someone knocked on the door.
"Kira!"
Kira got up and made his way to the door. He was wondering on whom at that time and weather condition would come to his house. A wave of surprise showed in his face as he opened the door.
"Ca—Cagalli?"
"Who'd ya think?" She said, quite annoyed. She was soaking wet in her brown coat and pants. She carried a bagful of clothes and a few more baggage, and it, too, was drenched with rain.
"Oh, co—come in…" Kira grabbed his sister's drenched luggage and carried it to a room.
"Yo, Kira, who was that?" Athrun shouted from the other room.
Cagalli walked to the room.
"Yu--yula? That you?"
"Uhmm! Who'd you think? And stop calling me that." Cagalli sounded quite annoyed. Lacus stopped singing.
"Eh, Azu-chan, I think you oughta stop already" Lacus said, worried. She knew that flames would start immediately once Athrun teases Cagalli. But it was too late.
"Athrun Zala, you...you stupid…!" Cagalli shouted.
"Really?" Athrun responded teasingly.
"You stinkin' piece of trash! Shut up!"
Athrun gave her a goofy face. Lacus and Kira covered their ears, readying themselves for the shouts that were Cagalli's annoyance.
Cagalli went up to Athrun and punched him squarely on the face. Some rainwater splashed on Athrun's hair, and the water in her her coat dripped on his pants.
"You didn"t have to punch me!"
"You started it!"
"Oh..guys? C"mon, you're acting like kids." Kira tried to stop their bickering…and Athrun's snickering.
Cagalli and Athrun stopped. They glared at him. Kira sweatdropped.( ) and Lacus plugged her ears.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" They screamed into his ear.
Kira fell on the floor with a thud, his ears throbbing.
Lacus just stared at them….
-----Silence------
Out of the blue, Mister pink landed on Athrun's head, followed by Birdy and messed up Athrun's hair. It broke the silence and got a few laughs from the girls, including Kira. Athrun ended their petty fight with another glare at Cagalli.
Anna: Yay! Chapter 2 finished!
Ayumi: Whee….
