Lacus just finished packing up here things as the phone rang. Lacus knew it was best not to answer but it was morning and the reporters called all night so they where probably all asleep by now.
Lacus answered the phone. "Clyne, Yamato, and Attha residence Lacus speaking. How may I help you?" Lacus questioned the caller. "Wow have you been working on that Lacus?" asked the voice on the other side. "Hey who is this?" Lacus demanded letting her lack of sleep getting the better of her. "Clam down it's Athrun." the person on the other side of the phone said. "Oh sorry Athrun." Lacus said. "Just reporters where calling yawn all night. We really didn't get much sleep." Lacus said tiredly. "Oh then is this a bad time to talk to Cagalli?" Athrun asked over the phone. "Well maybe, but for another reason." Lacus said sadly "Just let me try to get her." Lacus said more happily this time. Athrun was going to protest but heard Lacus call for Cagalli saying Athrun was on the phone. Athrun waited a bit as he heard mumbles in the background, he couldn't tell what they where really saying though. Soon Athrun heard footsteps near then phone. "Hey Athrun." Cagalli said sadly. "Cagalli what's wrong?" Athrun asked her. "It's nothing really." Cagalli mumbled. "Athrun I have to go back to Orb. For… well family problems." Cagalli said. Athrun listened intently. "When are you going?" Athrun asked her quietly. "12 today." she said softly back to him. "But Cagalli that's to early!" Athrun said alarmed. "I know but there are things that I can't help that is happening, Athrun." Cagalli told him. "Well, will I ever see you again?" Athrun questioned her. "I don't know. Maybe never." Cagalli said. Athrun couldn't believe what he was hearing the love of his life was leaving him. "Goodbye Athrun." he heard Cagalli say then hang up the phone. Athrun didn't move a muscle. He was still in shock at what he had heard. Athrun sat there for a while and after three minutes he made his choice.
Athrun ran to his father's room where he was working on paper work. "What happened to Cagalli's dad?" Athrun demanded. "Hmmm." Patrick Zala called to his son. "What happened to him father!" Athrun said more angrily to his own father. "He's dead." Patrick said flatly with no emotion. "So Cagalli has to take over for her father?" Athrun half asked half knowing. "Yes, and when she's there she will be forced to marry a natural earth scum." Patrick said with a smile. "Father I can't let her go and do that." Athrun said to him. Patrick was a bit taken back by Athrun's actions. "I'm going to tell Cagalli that I love her and I can't live with out her. Stop me if you want but I need to go now!" Athrun said to his father. Patrick was even more shocked with his son's actions. "Cal." Patrick demanded a servant forward. "Yes my lord." the man said and bowed. "Prepare a car for me and my son to the airport right away." Patrick said with a smile on his face looking at Athrun who was shocked that he was coming. "Yes sir." cal said and ran off. "Why.." Athrun started but got cut off by his father. "I want to see how it will play out." Patrick said with a stern face to his son.
Cagalli, Lacus, and Kira grabbed a cab and out there stuff in the back. "Airport please." Cagalli asked the driver. "Right away." said the driver. "You know, you don't have to come." Cagalli said looking to Lacus and Kira. "Yeah we do sis." Kira said ruffling Cagalli's already ruffled hair. "We enjoy being with you Cagalli. We don't want to leave you during the hardest part." Lacus said grabbing Cagalli's hand. Cagalli laughed. Lacus looked at her with a questionable face. "Everyone use to do that when I was blind." Cagalli said with a sad smile on her face. Lacus frowned and looked out the cab's window. 'Still raining. Will the angel's tears bring happiness to us though.' Lacus though sighing.
As Athrun's dad and Athrun made there way to the airport, Athrun looked out the window at the rain. "It doesn't rain often does it?" Patrick Zala asked his son. "Huh?" Athrun asked back. "Well, we plan the rain, it's not natural you know what I mean?" Patrick asked his son again. "Yeah, but on Earth it rains on days no one thinks it will. So no one is ready for the rain." Athrun said. "True." Patrick said once more to his son. The song "When you say nothing at all" came on the radio. Athrun smiled at the lyrics of the song. And did Athrun's dad. And this didn't go unnoticed by Athrun. "You like this song father?" Athrun questioned him. "Well this was your mother's and mine's song." Athrun dad said with a sad smile. Athrun remembered his mom with a sad smile as they neared airport. Athrun ran out the car and where the shuttle where to Orb. 'Wait for me Cagalli, I'm almost there!' Athrun thought running up the stairs. Patrick was not to far behind him.
Cagalli watched as the shuttle landed. Tears brimming in her eyes. She didn't want to leave with out seeing Athrun one more time, but she knew it was best not to see him. "CAGALLI!" A voice called out to her. Tears falling from her eyes as she turned around to see Athrun. "Athrun!" She called out running into a hug by Athrun. They stood there. Each in each others arms. Until a huff was hear by Athrun's dad. Cagalli pulled away a bit and looked at the ground blushing. "Cagalli don't forget me, you know when you go back to Orb." Athrun said grabbing her hands. "I could never forget you." Cagalli said with a smile back to him. "Cagalli, come on. It's about to leave." Lacus called to Cagalli. "Your going too Lacus!" Athrun said surprised. "Yes, Athrun. So is Kira." Lacus said gabbing Cagalli's arm. "We need to hurry." Lacus said looking into Cagalli's eyes. "In a sec, okay." Cagalli said looking into Lacus's blue eyes. "Fine" Lacus said giving up and running into the space port. "Well bye, Cagalli" Athrun said hugging her again. "No Athrun. Not bye Athrun. Till next time." Cagalli said hugging him back. "Last boarding for Orb." the intercom called out. Cagalli pulled away slowly and turned her back and walked away. Athrun felt tears coming down his cheeks. He saw the shuttle lifting off and ran to the window. Even through the rain Athrun knew he saw Cagalli in a window, and he knew she saw him. "I love you." he mouthed. He could have sworn he saw her smile and then she was gone.
"Time to go son." Patrick Zala said to his son. Athrun looked up to his father. His eyes full of pain and sadness. "It had to end like this, didn't father?" Athrun questioned his father moving a bit so he was not leaning on the glass anymore. "Athrun." Patrick could only say that to his son. He didn't know what else to say.
"Athrun I know say that you can control the PLANTS." Patrick Zala said to his son after they got home. "But why father?" Athrun questioned his father in disbelief. "I believe you can bring peace. I mean you fell in love with one of them." Patrick Zala leaving his son to think about what he just said. Athrun didn't say anything to his father as he walked away from him. Athrun went to his room to think. Laying on his bed he thought what this meant. He then smiled. He knew why his father had done this. It made sense now. Athrun laughed out load at his self and picked up the phone. But he slowly put it back on it's hooks. He was going to call Kira and Lacus, but they weren't there. He held a sad smile until dinner. "Athrun?" Nicol questioned picking up for dinner with friends. "Can you keep a secret Nicol?" Athrun asked his friend. Never has it been so important then today. "Yeah. Come on. You know me Athrun." Nicol said to him. "Okay. Well you are now looking at the leader of PLANTS." Athrun said a bit to proudly. "Huh I didn't know they made dogs leaders?" Nicol said looking down at the dog at his feet. "Baka!" Athrun said hitting him over the head with his hand. "Ouch! I get it." Nicol said rubbing his head. "Wait doesn't that mean!" Nicol sounded excited for a minute. "I know." Athrun said happily to his friend. Nicol just laughed and patted his friend on the back. "I can't wait till peace is going to come about to the PLANTS." Nicol said smiling. "Me to. About time don't you think?" Athrun asked his friend getting into the car. "Yes indeed." Nicol said resting his head on the head rest.
