Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful gir... I mean, handsome guy named Athrun Zala, he's an orphan. His father and mother were dead a year ago. Now he lives with his stepmother and two stepbrothers, their names are Dearka Elthman and Yzak Joule.

The two of them envies the handsome face of Athrun, so they gave him ugly clothes and treated him like a maid. But Athrun didn't disobey them (because Dearka will shoot him if he did). And so Athrun made friends with the animals inside the house.

His best friends are the two mice, he named them Kira Yamato and Nicol Amarfi. He also made friend with the family's horse, Shin Asuka.

Shin: Whaaaat? I'm a HORSE?
Kira: Bear it, Shin... I'm a MICE! MICE!
Author: Shut up Shin! You destroyed the storyline!
Shin: But... But! I refuse this!
Author: Say one more word and I'll make you a cockroach!
Shin: On second thought... I love this role! (nervous giggle)

Back to the story. Everyday the poor Athrun have to wash the clothes, sweep the floor, goes shopping, cooking and other stuff, but Athrun did all the stuff happily (like I said, Dearka will shoot him if he didn't).

One day, someone knocked their front door. And as usual, Athrun's stepbrothers told him to greet whoever it was, because they're too busy.

"Get it, Zala..." said Yzak.

"Yeah, or I'll shoot you!" added Dearka.

"Okay..." Athrun nodded and went to the front door. He opened it.

There, stood a man with the castle uniform.

"Excuse me, my name is Rey Za Burrel... I came to give this invitation for your family..." Rey gave Athrun the invitation.

Shin: See! Rey have a better role!
Author: (bonked Shinn's head)
Shin: (fainted)
Athrun accepted it and started reading.

"Oh! An Anime fair! With cosplay event and bazaar! And if you join now you'll have an underwear for free! Sounds fun!" exclaimed Athrun.

Rey stared at Athrun. Then he realized something and snatched the invitation from Athrun's hand.

"Ups... wrong one...heheh... That's mine..." Rey blushed before grinned sheepishly and he gave Athrun the right one.

Athrun stared at Rey, and then started reading again.

"A ball?" asked Athrun.

Rey read the invitation first, after he sure it was the right one, he nodded.

"Yes, it's for celebrating Princess Cagalli's birthday, anyone can come to the ball..." Rey explained.

"Thanks!" said Athrun.

Rey bowed to Athrun then turned his body and walked away... thinking about his free underwear.

"What is it?" asked a curious Yzak after Athrun came back.

"Yeah, I heard something about underwear..." said Dearka.

"No... underwear has nothing to do with this..." said Athrun as if underwear is his best friend. He showed them the invitation.

"Oooh! A ball! It'll be fun!" exclaimed Dearka.

"I don't know you like events like this... I thought you hate 'em..." asked Yzak.

"Yes I hate them... but I love the food! Besides, the script said that I must happy when I heard this..." said Dearka.

"Weirdo..." mumbled Yzak.

"I heard that!"

While the two of them argued, Athrun went upstairs, to his room. He opened the door and laid himself in the bed. He sighed.

"Ball, huh..." said Athrun to no one in particularly.

His two small friends, Kira and Nicol heard Athrun from their small hole.

"Hey, you think he wanted to go to that ball?" whispered Kira.

"Yeah! Absolutely!" replied Nicol.

"Why?" asked Kira.

"The script says so..." explained Nicol.

"Then let's help him!" exclaimed Kira.

"Yeah, I bet he was not allowed to go!" said Nicol.

"Yes! But first, let's make a new clothes for him! The old one was eaten by Shin a week ago..." explained Kira.

"Poor Shin, he must be very hungry, I heard he had a diarrhea after he ate that clothes... ... because Athrun didn't wash them for five years. Eew!" Nicol shuddered.

Kira glared at him.

"Just leave that Shin alone! It's true that Shin have a weird taste on food...But, we're here to help Athrun!" Kira shook Nicol's body.

"Uh, okay... but how?" asked Nicol.

"I've got an incredible idea..." Kira smirked.

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

The next morning...

"Okay, Kira... What should we do? What should we do?" asked the curious yet happy Nicol.

"Well, I've got few options... first, buy the new clothes for Athrun, second, sew the new clothes ourselves, third, steal the new clothes, or fourth, asked the Authors to give us the new clothes for Athrun!" exclaimed Kira, feeling like a genius.

"Um... I pick the first one..." said Nicol.

"Why?" asked a curious Kira.

"Well, you see, for the second option... we're MICE! MICE I SAID! And mice CAN'T sew! Third, For stealing clothes... you need... well, BIGGER body... we're MICE! MICE I SAID! And for the fourth one... I don't think it's a good idea, the Authors don't like mice... they'll kill us first before we could say anything... and that's because we're MICE! MICE I SAID!" explained Nicol.

"I see you got a point there... but... we don't have any money!" Kira cried.

"And people called you the ultimate coordinator..." said Nicol.

"Wait! Let's steal those money! I mean... from Athrun's wallet! Yeah! That's it! I'm a genius! Let's buy that clothes! Let's call this 'Buy New Clothes Operation'!" Kira made a victory sign.

"Moron... If you steal the money from Athrun's wallet, then the operation name would be 'Steal Athrun's Money To Buy Clothes For Him and Run Before He Killed Us Because He Didn't Want That Clothes','" said Nicol sarcastically.

"Oh yeah... That's right... But! No fear! The Authors will protect us! Let's gooo!" Kira snatched Nicol's arm and dragged him to the store (after took Athrun's wallet of course...)

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"I think that's one nice... No, Hey! Look at that one! Cute! But no... I don't like the colors... Hey! That one will fit Athrun! What do you think? Ooooh! Look at that one!" Kira squaled.

Okay, they reached the clothes store and now they were picking a nice clothes for Athrun. Actually, Kira is the one who picked the clothes... Nicol just watch and say 'yes' or 'no'.

"I think that one is nice! It fits Athrun's hair perfectly!" said Nicol, pointed at a clothes with dark blue color.

"Yeah! Let's asked the cashier how much it'll cost!" exclaimed Kira and went happily to the cashier.

"Wait! Stop, Kira! That's not a good idea because..." shouted Nicol.

Too late, Kira has climbed the cash register and now come face-to-face with the cashier. The cashier is a young woman with brown hair and brown eyes, Yep, Murrue Ramius.

"Excuse me, ma'am... how much that will cost?" asked Kira politely.

Murrue stared at Kira for a moment, before she shouted.

"AAAAAHHH! TALKING MICE!" then she fell to the floor, coma.

"... the cashier afraid of mice..." Nicol finished his sentence.

"Oops..." Kira slapped his forehead.

"Now look what you've done!" scolded Nicol.

"Hey! Look at the bright side!" said Kira.

"And what is that 'bright side' of yours?" asked Nicol.

"We don't need to pay the clothes!" shouted Kira before he snatched the clothes amazingly (he's a SMALL mice) and ran off.

"Great! Then why did we bring this damn heavy wallet?" muttered Nicol and ran off, following Kira.

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"Athruun! Athruuunn!" Kira and Nicol shouted at the dark blue haired teenage.

Athrun was cooking in the kitchen, after he heard their voices, he turned his head to saw his best friends waving at him.

"What's wrong? You guys looks so happy..." asked Athrun.

"Athruunn! You knew about the dance ball tonight, riigghhtt?" asked Kira.

"Well, of course!" Athrun nodded his head.

"You want to go, too! Riigghhtt?" asked Nicol.

"Um... actually yes, but I don't have a good clothes for attending a ball like that, so, looks like I'm staying at home..." Athrun lowered his head, disappointed.

Kira and Nicol grinned from ear-to-ear.

"GREEAAT! ATHRUN! COME WITH US! WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU!" Kira and Nicol gestured Athrun to follow them.

The curious Athrun followed his best friends, completely forget about his cooking job.

"Hey, where are you going?" asked Athrun.

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

They finally stopped in front of Athrun's room. Kira and Nicol grinned and opened the door.

"SUUURPRISEEE!" shouted Kira and Nicol.

Athrun's eyes shot opened. And then he saw it. He nearly burst into tears. He can't believe it! His two friends did this for him!

"Wow! You've cleaned my room? Thank you very much!" exclaimed Athrun.

Kira and Nicol sweatdropped.

"It's not that..." said Kira.

"Ooh! And you've changed my bed sheets too, thank you!" Athrun pointed at his new bed sheets.

"It's NOT THAT!" said Nicol.

"Huh? So what is it?" asked Athrun curiously.

"That!" Nicol pointed.

"That new flower vase?" asked Athrun.

"NOOO! THAT!" shouted Nicol. He started to think how much is Athrun's IQ.

"That new clothes?" asked Athrun.

"YES!" Nicol nodded his head.

Athrun nodded his head, too. "So you've bought me a new clothes..." said Athrun proudly because he knew what does his friends mean.

Kira and Nicol stayed silent, Athrun stared at the clothes.

"You don't like it, do you?" asked Kira.

Athrun stayed silent.

"Well, sorry, but we thought this clothes will fit you..." Nicol added.

Suddenly Athrun screamed.

"YOU'VE BOUGHT ME A NEW CLOTHES! OH, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Athrun started jumping up and down, hugging Kira and Nicol.

"It took him THAT long to registered this information to his tiny brain?" whispered Nicol.

"Yeah... I thought he didn't like it." said Kira.

Suddenly they heard Yzak's voice.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"What's that?" asked Kira, panicking.

"I don't know! Let's look!" suggested Athrun. Everyone nodded and ran downstairs to see what is happening.

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"What's wrong Dearka?" asked Athrun when they reached downstairs.

Dearka turned his body to face Athrun.

"Oh? We're watching a horror movie. Wanna join us?" asked Dearka.

Everyone sweatdropped.

"But that voice came from the kitchen..." said Nicol.

Suddenly Athrun slap his own forehead.

"Oh no! The stove!"

And they ran to the kitchen.

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Half of the kitchen was burned when they reached the kitchen. Yzak was standing there, holding some burned cloth. It looks like he used it to shut down the flame.

"Look what you have done, IDIOT!" Yzak screamed in front of Athrun's face.

"I'm sorry, I was just..." Athrun tried to apologize but Yzak didn't want to hear him.

Nicol's attention turned to the burned cloth. His eyes widened.

"Don't tell me that is..." he pointed to the cloth.

"Huh? Oh this... After I screamed I started to running around, then I saw a clothes in Athrun's room. So I took it and use it to shut down the flame!" said Yzak proudly.

Nicol and Kira's jaws dropped to the floor.

"MORON! IDIOT! BAKA! FOOL! $#!&#!$&$#!" Nicol shouted a series ofwords that not suitable for children.

"He burned the clothes for Athrun..." Kira stared at Yzak in disbelief.

"Huh? What did I do?" asked Yzak innocently.

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Later that night...

"Athrun... I'm sorry..." Kira apologize.

Athrun was sitting in the couch. The others have already left for the ball.

"Athrun... I'm sorry," Kira apologized.

"No, it's not your fault... Kira..." Athrun smiled reassuringly.

"But if we didn't call you when you're cooking... this is never going to happen!" Nicol sobbed.

"That's okay... I'm..." but Athrun's words were cut off by a strange light that suddenly appeared.

FLASH!

"Ooooh! Fireworks!" Kira clapped his hands.

"Kira, I don't think someone is stupid enough to do fireworks INSIDE the house..." Nicol explained.

"Huh? Oh yeah... so what is that?" asked Kira.

The two shook their heads.
