READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ON ANY FURTHER!

This one may seem a little stupid but...(laugh)...it really came out of nowhere. It just happened that I was at the forum then and was chatting with "Kira-double" about how, if he had to choose, Kira (the character) would choose to protect Lacus first and not Cagalli if both of them were in danger. It was by chance that at that time I wanted to write fics for the twins' birthday, so, from chatting it turned into somewhat of a story. I think it funny, so I decided to put it up here. (laugh)

Anyway. As always, don't flame me if you don't like what you read.

By the way, MANY THANKSto those who reviewed!

moi - (coughcough) But moi! I'm more on the angst side! I'm horrible when it comes to...romance. You can tell, can't you, that I try not to go too far into there and focus more on the characters' angst. Last time I tried, I read it and I wanted to strangle myself. (shake head) If it's not for the random conversations at the forum, I don't think I would be able to write this far. By the way, Book 2 is not a sequel to Book 1.

ANONYMOUS - I will try. If only my inspiration will come back (cry).

LadyRinUchiha - (buried in fluff) fluff is evil. As for the length, my apologies. I was just to lazy to continue into Book 2 part 3 and 4. Hope you will update your stuff soon!

Genny - This is one happy-ending story, courtesy to "Kira-double" of Seed Genesis, otherwise it won't be this light and funny. Glad you like the story and thanks for reviewing!

asga - Let's have a random conversation, then maybe I can come up with Kira/Cagalli fic. You see (apologetically) my inspiration has run away not long ago and now I'm left with...empty head.

Book 3...

A Random Very Happy Birthday

- A little reminder: Because the conversation is honestly very random, so do expect extreme OOC on each character' parts and the fact that this IS joint writing, there's bound to be some weird disconnection, which I hope you will try to overlook them. Break suggests the change of - er - author? Oh never mind, it's just that the Kira part is done by "Kira-double" and the Lacus and Cagalli is done by me. Just to let you know, I made some modification on Kira's speech with "Kira-double" permission, so those who already read the original, don't come flaming me about it.

Kira:Please...Please, Lacus, Cagalli, don't do this...
Lacus and Cagalli back him against a wall.
Kira: (gets cornered and whimpers) I really should have let Rau kill me...

Lacus: (pink wig and clips in hands) But Kira...you like pink, don't you?
Cagalli: Yes. And you have such a...(bites her lip)...a sweet face, too. Your eyes will go perfectly with this dress.
Lacus: So, be a good boy...
Cagalli: And let us do the job...
Lacus: (catches Kira's collar before he can runs away. Smiles sweetly) It's your birthday, after all.

Kira: But it's---it's Cagalli's birthday, too!Lacus! What are you--- Noooooooooo!
Is forced into lacus' clothes
Kira: ...I'm shocked, one that this happened, two, that the clothes actually fits...am I that skinny? (whimpers) Please don't do this! Have some mercy!

Lacus: But of course, Kira, I make this one a little bigger to fit you. Just for you...you know.
Cagalli: (gives Lacus cosmetic set) Not my field. You do it.
Lacus: Thank you, Cagalli-san. Er...will you...tie Kira to the chair a bit more tightly, too? It won't take long if he stays VERY still.
Cagalli: You sure, you don't want me to gag him?
Lacus: (looks at the whimpering, sobbing Kira then kissed his cheek)...There, he stops. Now, Cagalli-san!
Cagalli: (ties more ropes around Kira)

Kira: Nooohoh! (sobs) WHY! I thought you two loved me! (to Cagalli) In a sister way for you...

Cagalli: (gives a sharp pull to the ropes, causing Kira to wince. Then says very sweetly) I love you, too, little brother.
Lacus: And I do love you, Kira. (closes his dropping mouth shut and applies some lipstick on. She giggles) There! You look perfect!
Cagalli: (slowly unties Kira. She looks at him and snorts) You look even more girlie than I do, Kira. (turns to Lacus) Lacus, do you think we should pursuade Athrun to dress like...Meer Campbell instead of his - er - former superior?
Athrun, in Klueze's white uniform, happened to walk pass by. He froze on the spot.
Athrun: Lacus...? (squints his eyes)...! Kira!

Kira: Athrun, as my friend, don't laugh at me..and Athrun, as your friend, run! Before theymake you dress like Meer!
Athrun: (shocked. Turns to see the dangerous gleams in the otherwise very innocent faces of Lacus and Cagalli. He backs away from them and runs out of the mansion, escaping in his Savior)
Cagalli and Lacus glare at kira as he tries to stand up in his long white skirt.
Cagalli:(accusingly) You lost me my chance at Athrun!
Kira: (face pale, then gulps)...

Lacus: Don't worry, I ordered the others to pull a thing or two in Savior. Athrun should be back in around...(looks at the clock)...half an hour. Now, Kira... (looks at him) That's not very nice.
Cagalli: (takes Kira's EA uniform with her and goes behind the screen) It's your own fault for drawing that stupidpaper out yourself.
Lacus: (glances at her - or Cagalli's - green dress) This one is very comfortable... Maybe I should get a similar one but in pink next time.
Cagalli: (walks out from behind the screen,dressed in Kira's uniform. She's pulling the brown wig in place) How do I look?
Kira: ...0.0...(That's...ME!)
Lacus: (gasps) Cagalli-san! (catches herself and giggles) "Kira"! Oh, Kira, you look wonderful! (pecks Cagalli on the cheek)
Kira: ...O.O...

Kira: I hate my life..shoot me now!

Lacus and Cagalli laugh, then they walk around to kiss Kira on the cheek on either side.
Cagalli: We do love you, little brother. Very much so, that's why we are 'playing' with you.
Lacus: Happy Birthday, Kira.

Kira: (blushes and relents)...thank you...I guess.

Somewhere else...
Athrun: (gets out of a broken Savior)...I should have never believed Kira.
Meer: (appears out of nowhere) Athrun, you look so cool in white! (attaches herself to his arm) When will you propose to me? You know I will say yes, right? Right?
Athrun: (face pales to match the uniform) Look, Meer, I already proposed...
Meer: (eyes bright, grinning from ear to ear) Let's get married then! Today!
Athrun: OoO !
-----
Cagalli: (to Kira) You know, I really think that we forgot something...
Kira: (happily eating away his birthday cake) Of course, we didn't. Here, you like strawberry, right?
Cagalli: (eats the strawberry from Kira's fork)
Lacus: Kira! Lacus! Smile!
Click!

(15 minutes later)

Kira is stuffed with cake and lying on the floor as Lacus and Cagalli pokes him with a stick...

Meer: (gushing) It's just so convenient that you wear white Athrun (dragging him to the isle with her). You look hot and I'm sure every girl in PLANTs must be very jealous of me right now...
Athrun: (in his mind - !#$&) Meer, let go! I'm not marrying you!
Meer: (giggles) Don't be embarrassed by the cameras, Athrun, it's okay...
Athrun: o.O...! I'm not embarrassed! I just DON'T WANT to marry you! I already proposed to SOMEONE ELSE!

somewhere else -
Cagalli: (stops poking Kira and turns to Lacus) This looks kinda wrong, Lacus. Seeing 'you' all stuffed with cake.
Lacus: (takes photo) Hmm... It's something that I would never do - and I won't - but if someone asks I can use this as proof that 'Lacus' did do something not too intelligent.
Cagalli: (stares at her) Why would you want to do that?
Lacus: (shrugs) People think I'm perfect, and really, they are closer to the truth than they know. But sometimes, I just want to get those who won't believe so off my back and let them believe that I'm human, too.
Cagalli: Uh...Okay. (turns on the TV)...
TV: The young couple is now walking down the isle. Commander Athrun Zala and Lacus Clyne, our PLANTs' future...
Cagalli: (spits out her drink) OoO
Lacus: (almost drops her camera) 0.0
TV: (shows Meer giggling, then suddenly Athrun pulled his arm away from her)
Athrun: I just DON'T WANT to marry you! I already proposed to SOMEONE ELSE!
Cagalli: OoO...
Lacus: 0.0...(smirks)... (go, Athrun. At last you have the guts to tell that imposter of me now!)

Athrun: The only person that I intend to marry - that I want to marry - is not you, Meer. I'm sorry.
Meer: (looks like she's about to cry) No, no, Athrun! What are you talking about?
Athrun: (deep breath) Only... only Cagalli Yula Athha will I ever marry to. Only her, and no one else. Meer, I don't love you. I love Cagalli.

Cagalli: ...(blushed bright red like a tomato, then expression turned determined. Turns to Lacus) Lacus, let me borrow the key.
Lacus: (happily) Here you are (gives her the key from pink haro). Please come back before dinner.

Reporters: Meer? Meer as in Meer Campbell? Hasn't she been locked away with the Seyrans already?
Athrun: (walks away)
Meer: (catches Athrun's arm) Athrun!
Athrun: I'm sorry (takes her hands off him). But I have to go back now. They are waiting for me. She is waiting for me.
Random person: What's that!
Random girl: (screams)
Random people: It's a MS!
Athrun: (turns, wide eyes)...The Freedom?
Freedom landed, and out came... uhh... Kira Yamato.
Kira: (runs to Athrun and hugs him) Athrun!
Athrun: OoO
Everyone else: OoO
Athrun: Kira, what are you do---
Kira: (pulls away and kisses him)
Athrun: O.O...
Everyone else: OoO...
Kira: (breaks the kiss and blushes)...Athrun, I love you, too.
Athrun was bashing his head mentally for thinking that 'Kira' was damned cute blushing like that. He suddenly realizes something, though...
Athrun: (reaches up and pulls the brown wig, which gave away easily)...(smiles widely)...Cagalli.
Everyone else: OoO
Athrun: (laughs, immensely relieved)...God, you really scared me for a minute there. I will NEVER ever play this game of Lacus again. (takes her hands, ignoring the gaping Meer completely) Cagalli...I know this is not the best of time but...just in case I don't have the guts to say this again...(deep breath)...Cagalli Yula Athha, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Today?
Cagalli: (wide eyes) You want us to...get married...now?
Athrun: Do you mind?
Cagalli: (looks down at her clothes)...Don't you?
Athrun: Well...it looks a bit wrong but...we can always have a second wedding. Third, forth, as many as you like.
Cagalli: (smiles) Then, I will marry you, Athrun Zala. Today.
Athrun: (smiles and pulls her into a long, deep kiss) I forgot to tell you... (gently leads Cagalli, who was blushing brightly, down the isle)...but happy birthday, Cagalli.

( Freedom and wedding...ring a bell, anyone?)

(Lastly from Kira-double)

Kira was groaning from the cakes as Lacus sits on him, using him as a cushion chair.
"Awww...they're so cute!" Lacus said looking at the TV. "When will we do that Kira-chan?...I mean, Lacus-sama..." Kira whimpered as he rubbed his stomach.
"Hmmm..." Lacus poked him. "You look cute...like...chubby SD Lacus!"
Kira:

(laugh)

Please review... if you find this one is good enough, that is.
