Chapter 3: The Get Away

Kira&Lacus

Half an hour later the pirates, as Kira liked to call them, fell asleep and the pinkette and her boyfriend decided to strike. Using rocks they had found on the nearby shore, they knocked the 3 pirates out. Kira then took a small knife out of one of the men's jacket pockets and cut the captive's binds. They then ran, searching for their ship.

Within 15 minutes of their departure Lacus ahd found the crash site. Their ship was fine except for some scratches and dents. They decided it would be fine to fly to Orb so they climbed in and took off.

So far there hadn't been any problems. It was smooth flying. Kira and Lacus were sure the men would be waking up soon so they flew as quickly as possible. After about 20 minutes of flying they saw the island they called home. It was a welcome site. They dropped altitude and requested permission to dock. As soon as they touched ground, Lacus jumped out followed by Kira. They entered the ORB base and stareted for Cagalli's office. They had to warn her!

As they were running down the halls, Kira hit Athrun and knocked him over. "Sorry Athrun!" he said helping him up. "I have to find Cagalli-"

"Then you're going the wrong way!" said Athrun, "She's not in her office! Come with me!"

Chapter 4: Warning

The Whole Gang

Athrun turned right and started going the way they came. When Kira thought they would go right back to their ship, Athrun made a left and a right. He was heading to the launch bay! "Athrun! She can't fly!"

"Kira! You're her brother! You should support her! Just because she's a girl-"

"No," inturrupted Lacus, " we know she is able to but there are pirates out there!"

Athrun stopped and Kira hit him and Lacus hit them both. "Sorry" she murmured.

"There are pirates!" Athrun asked then he ran away even faster. He went into the launch bay. Lacus was there seconds after him. Kira who was catching his breath started running after they got there. He was running so fast that he couldn't stop and when he saw the doors he panicked. He closed his eyes ready for the pain of... wait! There was a noise... WHOOSH, WHOOSH. He opened his eyes and he was through the doors. Oh yeah, he thought, automatic... Athrun and Lacus were calling Cagalli so he joined in. All of a sudden he felt a hand over his mouth. He ripped it off. "PIRATES!" he shouted. The person turned him around. "Hahaha!" she said. It was Cagalli.

"Shut up you guys!" she said, "You're giving me a head ache!"

Athrun gave her a warm hug. "You're okay! You didn't leave! Cagalli, listen, you can't fly!"

She looked angry. "Athrun Zala, you of all people! I-"

She was interupted by a cough from Kira. Then, he started to explain, Lacus helping and Athrun nodding and saying YES! every few seconds.

"Oh my!" said Cagalli. She turned to face Athrun. "You saved my life!" she exclaimed. She kissed him and Lacus and Kira turned around.
