A/N: Wow… People actually like my story! I feel so special… I didn't think that people would actually like this idea… anyways, here's the new chapter.
Disclaimer: I just remember that I forgot to do this last chapter… anyways I don't own Gundam SEED.
Nervous. That one word can describe exactly how I was feeling that morning. Today was the high school reunion, and the morning couldn't have gone worse. First, I had overslept, causing me to be in a rush all morning, and then I had accidentally spilled my coffee all over my clean blouse, so I had to go back and change, making me even MORE late. And, to top it all off, no matter what I did, I just couldn't get my hair to look right. Needless to say, I was in a rather foul mood by the time I got in the car and started the drive to Walkersville.
After I was about halfway there, I was beginning to have second thoughts about the reunion. What if none of my friends remembered me? What if Fllay Allster was there? Worse, What if Kira Yamato was there WITH Fllay Allster? Just thinking about that was enough to make me want to turn the car around and head home.
Quickly clearing my head of those thoughts, I continued on my way to the reunion. Why was I worrying about 'What if'? Sometimes I wonder if I'm too concerned about things that will probably never happen anyways. I doubt that any of my friends would forget about me, we DID spend 12 years in school together. Plus, Kira and Fllay were going out in high school, that didn't mean that they still had feelings for each other. That is, if Fllay had any real feelings for Kira in the first place.
I sighed, wondering about what would happen if I met up with Kira again…
Maybe we would finally get that one chance at that happily ever after romance that had eluded us for so long. Maybe when he saw me, he would finally realize that he was in love with me and we would get married and live in a big house together with lots of kids, where nobody would ever mention the name Fllay Allster again… Ha. Fat chance of that. I mentally chastised myself for fantasizing about things that would never, EVER happen in real life. Kira had never been in love with me, and he never would be; that was all there was to it.
I suddenly noticed the large, colourful sign that had "Welcome to Walkersville!" written on it in large lettering. Happy that I had finally reached my destination, I quickly searched for the address on the letter that Cagalli had sent me.
Cagalli had been my best friend back when we were in high school, and I was really excited to see her again. She was Kira's twin sister, and was always telling me to stop worrying about him and get on with my life. The thing I liked about Cagalli, was that she always said what was on her mind and told it like it is. I had heard that she was now a respected politician, which was something that I hadn't really expected, because she had seemed like the kind of person who would go for a job that was a little more athletic than that.
Another person I was really hoping to see was Athrun Zala. He was also one of my best friends, and I had even dated him for a while, but then he met Cagalli and the two of them fell in love almost immediately. He was a very serious person, which sometimes made me wonder how he could get together with someone like Cagalli, but the two of them were the perfect couple. That was what I wanted with Kira…
I stopped dwelling on the past when I finally found the address of the reunion. Pulling into the nearby parking lot, I quickly checked my makeup in the rearview mirror. Once I had locked my vehicle, I made my way up to the building in which the reunion was taking place. Once I was inside, I tried to look for anyone who seemed familiar.
After saying hello to a bunch of old acquaintances, I finally found Athrun and Cagalli sitting at a table in the corner, along with Miriallia Haww. Cagalli was wearing a dress, which surprised me, since she had always been such a tomboy. I smiled widely and made my way towards them. As soon as Cagalli saw me, she started waving.
"Lacus, is that you?" She said once I had joined them. I nodded happily. After a few minutes of idle chatter, we began talking about things that had happened to us recently.
"Me an Athrun are engaged now!" Cagalli exclaimed happily, showing me her engagement ring. I grinned and congratulated her, but somehow I couldn't help but feel a pang of loneliness. Don't get me wrong, I was still extremely happy for Cagalli and Athrun, I just couldn't help but feel a little left out. Seeing the way that they looked at each other lovingly, the way they seemed to understand everything about each other… Maybe I wanted that with someone. Maybe I wanted that with Kira…
Sighing, I stood up and walked over to the refreshments table, feeling even lonelier when I saw Dearka Elseman, Miriallia's boyfriend, walk over and join them at the table. I poured myself a cup of coffee, still preoccupied with my thoughts. So preoccupied, that I didn't even notice when somebody walked in front of me, causing me to bump into them, spilling my coffee all over my clean shirt. I groaned under my breath, and looked up to apologize to the person I had bumped into. When I saw them, my breath caught in my throat and I couldn't find the strength to speak. Standing right in front of me, trying to wipe the coffee from his clothing, was Kira Yamato.

I could feel a lump form in my throat when I hear those words. I just couldn't accept it. I almost pinched myself to make sure it wasn't a bad nightmare. "You mean… You're engaged?" I choked out.
