Well here's next chapter. Glad you all like it so far. Umm song lyrics are in ltalics.

I don't own Gundam SEED. So sad, but true.


"So she's blind." Nicol said into the phone. He couldn't believe it. The famous Cagalli Yula Attha was blind. Nicol always wanted to see the look on her face when she saw the score when Nicol wins. Now Nicol felt bad think about it. "She's blind" Nicol mutter into the phone. "Umm yeah." Athrun said back. "What? Oh sorry." Nicol said looking at the music her was practicing before Athrun called. "Whatever. Dearka, Yzak, and me are going out to get dinner want to join?" Athrun asked over the phone. "Sure. A dinner with friends sounds like a good thing right about now." Nicol said back to him. "I'll just walk over to your house then." Nicol said to Athrun. He agreed and then they both hung up.

After a while Yzak and Dearka finally showed up and the 4 of them went out to eat. Soon after then left the house the boys went to the finest place in town. When they got there, a boy was sitting on the stage with a guitar, but next to an empty drum set and microphone. It looked to be a performing night for people to play. Soon after the boys sat down a girl with brown hair sat behind the drum set, giving the other boy with the guitar a smile. And a pink haired girl came on with a violin. She also smiled to the boy. Soon after a girl walk in front of the empty microphone. The boys didn't really notice because they where ordering there food. After ordering the food they finally noticed the stage had more people. "Wow the drummers hot." Dearka said looking at her. When she looked at him he wink and she just smiled. "Oh yeah she likes me." Dearka said with smile as the girl looked to the girl turned facing her on stage. Athrun couldn't help but notice her features looked like Cagalli's. The girl finally turned around as the guitar, drums, and violin started playing. She had her eyes closed the whole time though. The boys food came as soon as the girl started to sing.

I wanna go to a place where I can say

That I'm all right and I'm staying there with you

I wanna know if there could be anyway

That there's no fight, and I'm safe and sound with you

The girl started singing. Her voice was soft like angels singing. They played very well in tune and everyone enjoyed it so far. Even the quick tempered, hot headed Yzak seemed to be enjoying it. He had a half smile on his face.

And every time I look, I thought you were there.

But it was just my imagination

I don't see it anymore cause I see thru you now

After singing this verse there was more of an instrumental part for each person to have fun with the tune and so the girl could catch her breath.

ima demo kidzukanai deshou kono shizuka na sora ni

itsu demo omoidasu kedo mou doko ni mo modorenai

The crowd was a bit in a shock as the girl started to sing in Japanese. It sounded right to everyone so they kept eating. Athrun knowing both English and Japanese enjoyed this little stunt she pulled with the song.

soshite zutto kokoro de samete sotto kidzuite

itsuka kitto yasashisa miete kuru you ni

There was a shorted break as the song was nearing a near ending point.

What's stopping me? I get stuck again

Is it really OK? It's never OK for me

What's got into me? I get lost again

Is it really OK? It's never going to be

going to be

There was a longer break as the background music got softer for the next part.

soshite motto sagashite me no mae ni kidzuite

asu wa kitto kazamuki mo kawaru you ni

kaze ga sotto sasayaku ugomeku no wa kono daichi

mayowanaide yasashisa miete kuru you ni

The music picked up during half way though and gave a dramatic feel to it. The music had a background music season and then it got quite for the next part like it did before.

And every time I look, I thought you were there.

But it was just my imagination

I don't see it anymore cause I see thru you now

I wanna go to a place where I can say

That I'm all right and I'm staying there with you

As the girl finished the song and the music dwindled off the people started clapping for them. The girl in front of the microphone smiled and bowed, as did the boy and two other girls before leaving the stage.

"They where great huh?" Athrun said turning back to his friends. "Yeah. I even liked it." Yzak said then taking a big slurp out of his soup before anyone could ask questions. "I think I will meet myself a little lady." Dearka said with a country accent getting up from the table seeing the girl who was playing the drums sit down at a table. Athrun looked at the table to see a brown haired boy with a guitar case. A girl with pink hair holding a violin case. Athrun knew her as Lacus Clyne. She was a famous singer to the PLANTS and her father also helped run ZAFT. Athrun then noticed the blond from before petting a white dog. Athrun already knew who it was. He got up and went to there table as well. "Hello miss Cagalli." Athrun said grabbing her hand and kissing it. Cagalli blushed and smiled. "Why hello there Mr. Athrun." Cagalli said with a sweet voice looking at him. "Athrun as in Athrun Zala?" the boy at there table asked. "Yeah." Athrun said still holding Cagalli's hand in his. "You don't remember me do you Athrun?" the boy said. "Wait! Kira, Kira Yamato?" Athrun asked looking at his old friend. "Yep, that's Kira's name." Cagalli said with a smile. "Hey man, how's it been?" Athrun asked giving Kira a half hug. "Alright, just been helping my blind sister around the place." Kira said to Athrun. "Kira isn't it a little mean to say that out loud?" Athrun asked his friend. "Well it's the truth, no matter how much it hurts." Cagalli said looking at him.

After a little talk Cagalli had to go back on stage and perform another song. This time on her piano. After she sat down she began to play a sad song. It was peaceful yet sad at the same time. But it also gave hope to people listening to it. It sounded like it could have had words but no words could capture the emotion of the song. It seemed to follow from her soul. Soon Lacus joined in for a little violin part. And soon it was over. Cagalli and Lacus bowed and left the stage.

"How long did it take you to learn that song?" Nicol asked Cagalli. Nicol knew the song and it was a hard piece of music to learn. Nicol knew it was Cagalli and his rival but wanted to know more about her so he could beat her. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer as Yzak would say. "Well I heard it one time from a CD and then I listen to it for a few days and I got it. So maybe about a week or so." Cagalli told him. "Oh really." Nicol said with a type of evil smile on her face. Athrun couldn't help but notice. "Well I think it's time we go home then." Athrun said pulling Nicol away from his new friend. "Well Bye then." Cagalli said waving in the last place she heard them last. "There nice people." Cagalli said smiling. "Yes they are." Lacus piped next to her. "You know that you don't have to go threw with this." Kira told Cagalli. "I know. But I want to. I really want this." Cagalli said with a stern face. "So that's why you came to the PLANTS?" Lacus asked. "Well only a little bit of it. The other part is to try and meet new people who don't know me as the blind princess" Cagalli said finally reaching home. "Well I hope it works out." Lacus said opening the door for her friends. "Me too." Cagalli mumbled.


The song is "I wanna go to a place" by Rei Fu. Also the 3rd ending theme from Gundam SEED Destiny.
