Chapter 5- the troubled stage

Discalmer- do not own GSD or GS. wish I did. Oh and the play. Taken from CarCaptor Sakura, the sealed Card. Sorry to ruin the moment if you have seen the movie. But I have to say it. XP


"Cagalli you're the princess!" Mwu called out as more girls screamed and guys 'oh'ed. Cagalli lit up like a red Christmas tree light, her cheeks where burning so bright red. Lacus smiled as she looked at Cagalli and Athrun with there matching faces. Kira smiled on how to make his sister suffer in this play. He wasn't thinking anything to bad though.

Athrun turned around to look at Cagalli. She saw him and looked at the floor. "Well practice starts tomorrow kids." Mwu said as the bell rang. Students grabbed there things still talking about the play. Cagalli sat there until Lacus pulled her up. "Come on Cagalli this will be fun." Lacus said happily to Cagalli making there way to the car for home. Cagalli just sighed and got into the car. Lacus gave her a happy and yet still sad smile.

When Athrun got home he told his dad about the play and his dad gave him a grunt. Athrun sighed as he laid down and looked at the screen play they got from the teacher after they got there parts.

"I have been busy as of late to the point that I think I have forgotten how to dance. My attendants brought me here today, as I tend to lock myself up indoors for long periods of time." Athrun read over the first scene. "Great I have to dance too." Athrun mumbled reading more of the script.

"I can't… I just can not bring myself to dance with a stranger. Besides I'm concerned to where the magic stone has gone. The magic stone… it is said that wonderers powers are granted to those who posies it. The neighboring country has been fighting over it with us for quite some time." Cagalli said then sighed. Kira clapped as he heard her finish. "Ki- Kira!" Cagalli screamed out in surprise to see her brother there. "I don't plan to change the script so I hope you like it." Kira waved to her and left.

Athrun sighed as he entered class it. It was a week before the October carnival. "Costumes today." Mwu said as Lacus brought her outfits her tailor made for them. Lacus showed everyone there dress and people tried there's on. Lacus looked at her own costume. It was dark blue and had clubs from a deck of cards kind all along the bottom and a chocker that was blue that had a gold club hanging from it. "This is so pretty." Mir said entering with her pink dress on. There where hearts all along the bottom and a pink and gold heart chocker on as well. All the maids had the same theme, But Luna's was Spades and was red, and Fllay's was yellow and had diamonds on it.

"Cagalli!" Lacus called pulling her up from her desk. "Your turn" she smiled as Athrun entered the class room. "Umm is this it." Athrun said standing still, he was wearing a dark green suit like an army type guy. It had a high collar that wrapped around his neck and he was wearing tan dress pants. It looked very well with his blue hair. All the girls gathered around him and Cagalli smiled as she looked at him.

"Cagalli come on now." Lacus said holding Cagalli's hand trying to pull her into class. Athrun looked toward the door. "But I hate dresses Lacus." Cagalli said being pulled into class. Everyone gasped as Cagalli entered class. She was wearing a forest green dress that went to her ankle. It had small straps holding it to her slim shoulders. She was also wearing a gold star necklace. She was wearing forest green heels as well. He hair was put up into tiny braids that mixed with green ribbons in her hair. Her hair was still down in some parts. The girls gathered around Cagalli saying how cute she looked, as Athrun and Kira looked at her from across the room. "Very nice girls." Mwu said looking at all the costumes for dancers and everyone. "Now I need all of you to know how to Waltz." Mwu said. "Most of you know already right?" he asked them. "Hai." they answered him. "Good." Mwu said with a sigh.

For the next week they practiced dancing and doing different things to set up the stage.

Cagalli sighed as she looked out at the crowded outside theater. "Don't worry Cagalli." Lacus said taking Cagalli's hand in hers. Cagalli nodded but couldn't help feeling butterflies as she saw Athrun talking to Kira. "Places everyone." Mwu said looking at Lacus as she smiled. Lacus would sing a song before.

Lacus sang her song and quickly switched out of her clothes. The curtain opened again showing couples dancing a Waltz with mask on. You could see Yzak and Dearka clearly because of there hair. Off of the stage Cagalli entered with Lacus, Luna, Fllay, and Mir. They sat Cagalli down as Lacus and Fllay knelled down in front of her and Mir was on her right and Luna on her left. "I'm sure the war with our neighboring country over the magic stone is wearing you out, princess." Fllay said. "We have brought you to this masked ball so you can forget your worries." Mir said smiling. "So please enjoy it to you hearts content" Luna said looking at Cagalli. "I Thankyou all. But I fear dancing has never been proven to be one of my talents." Cagalli said looking out toward the people dancing in front of them.
"Never mind that." Lacus said as Cagalli looked down at her. "After all the best remedy for a poor dancer is to share a waltz with a more experienced dancer." Lacus said then grabbed Cagalli's hands and lifted her to her feet. "So go… go." Lacus said pushing Cagalli a bit forward.

Cagalli looked at the dancing partners and walked toward the front of the stage. "I can't… I just can not bring myself to dance with a stranger. Besides I'm concerned to where the magic stone has gone. The magic stone… it is said that wonderers powers are granted to those who posies it. The neighboring country has been fighting over it with us for quite some time." Cagalli said then sighed "If there was only no such thing as war. Maybe because the magic stone causes these wars it is better off lost." Cagalli continued. "Better beyond the reach of human hands." Cagalli said as Athrun made his way up to her. "Indeed." he said catching Cagalli of guard and making her gasp. "I happen to be of the same option." Athrun said looking at her. "May I ask who you are?" Cagalli said taking a step toward the prince. "The etiquette here is to not ask for a person's name is it not?" the prince asked smiling at the princess. "So it is. Forgive me this is the first time at a masked ball." the princess told to the prince. "And mine as well." the prince told her as well.

"Oh. My" she relied to his statement. "I have been busy as of late to the point that I think I have forgotten how to dance. My attendants brought me here today, as I tend to lock myself up indoors for long periods of time." the prince said looking at the crowd. "Mine did the same." the princess said getting the attention of the prince back. "Hating war… our first time at a masked ball… it seems we have a lot in common." the prince said smiling to the princess. "Yes." she answered back. The prince held out his hand to the princess. "Would you care to share a dance?" Athrun asked "But I am not much of a dancer." Cagalli said turning away from Athrun a bit. Athrun covered his mouth and whispered "Neither am I." "I am certain I will step on your feet." Cagalli said turning a bit closer to Athrun. Athrun smiled and turned toward the dancing people. He offered his arm to Cagalli and spoke "Then I shall try my very best to avoid yours." Cagalli giggled a bit and took the arm he offered to him. And they danced a waltz together.

Changes to an outside park/garden place.

"So you are the prince of the neighboring country we are waring with." Cagalli said looking distant out at the crowd. "Princess, please dry your tears of sorrow. A smile suits you best of all. Please forgive me for causing such sadness." Athrun said knelling down on one knee to the princess. "However.." he said titling his head up so he could see Cagalli better "I can not stop the feelings stirring with in me." Athrun continued, "I must admit.." he started "I must admit I have fallen in love with you." Athrun finished. Cagalli gasped as her heart jumped to her throat. Her eyes started to tear up as well. Athrun had gone over this scene with her before but never sounded like that. She looked at his green eyes burning holes in her. "Even so…" Cagalli contained her poser. Cagalli covered her face with her hands and continued. "Even so I am afraid I can not return those same feelings." Cagalli said falling to the bench on the stage for her. Athrun titled his head down a bit. "Is it because you dislike me?" he questioned her. "It's not that. That isn't, the reason." she continued but paused a bit between her second sentence.

Lacus was holding onto Kira's hand and her eyes started to tear up. Mir was tearing up as Dearka joined her with Yzak. "The truth is, the truth is." Cagalli said and then sat up a bit. "No I can not say it. I can not allow my self to share this feeling. No I can not share it." Cagalli said tearing up more. Then she got up and ran to Athrun and grabbed his hand. "Please I beg of you, please forget every single thing you know about me. Please remove my presence from your heart and soul, please." Cagalli said and blinked as tears streamed down her face. Then she ran back a bit to off stage. "Princess!" Athrun called, but saw interrupted soon by a man screaming "Coordinator scum!" and started shooting at Athrun. Athrun saw the men and pushed Cagalli along with him behind the wooden stage prop of bushes.

"This is why I hate dresses." Cagalli said looking at Athrun. He was more worried about being hit. "Athrun do you think we can make it out alive." Cagalli said. This made Athrun looked around and saw Cagalli was holding her bleeding upper arm. "Oh, Cagalli!" Athrun said ripping part of his jacket off and tying it around her arm. "Aren't you scared of me?" Athrun asked wrapped her arm up. "No, why should I be?" Cagalli asked flinching a bit as Athrun tightened the cloth. "Well you're a natural and I'm a coordinator." Athrun said looking at her. 'That should hold the bleeding for now, Cagalli." Athrun said looking behind the fake bush again. "I don't care about that you know." she said also looking through bullet holds in the wood. "Cagalli!" Mir whispered as Dearka and her self made there way to the same bush. "Where's Kira?" Cagalli asked. Mir just pointed to the other bush on the other side of the stage. Cagalli looked and found Lacus and Kira behind the bush.

"I'm sorry Cagalli." Athrun said lifting up his pants leg to reveal a gun. Cagalli's eyes widened at this. "Athrun?" Cagalli questioned. As Athrun took the gun out of it's holder. "Cagalli, I want to tell you I love you. Goodbye." he said then kissed her cheek and ran out from the fake bush. Everyone gasped as the shooting stopped and Athrun had his gun pointed at the men.

"Athrun Zala?" one man questioned. "Yes, did my father send you?" Athrun asked his voice darker then ever before. "Yes, he wants you back." the man said. "How do we know it's him?" asked another man. "I'm Athrun Zala of ZAFT. My father is Patrick Zala. Ruler of ZAFT!" Athrun shouted. Cagalli sat back and her eyes where very wide. The men ran up to the stage and grabbed Kira, Lacus, Mir, Dearka, and Cagalli. And cuffed all of them. "Under ZAFT order we are placing you under arrest for evolving our Prince in trouble." the first man said letting other ZAFT soldiers push them off the stage. Cagalli was still in her daze. As they pushed Cagalli past Athrun she turned around to face him. He just looked to the floor. "Move it bitch!" the man yelled and pushed her.

"Cagalli, please get your real dad." Mir begged in a whisper as they had been thrown into a pack of a Uhal truck. "No! I can't trust him. Not anymore." Cagalli whispered back. Lacus whimpered a bit and laid her head on Kira's shoulder. Dearka sat against the wall of the truck. 'I have to let them know soon.' Dearka thought as he opened his eyes. "Dearka." called Athrun going through to the back of the truck. Dearka put his head down and unlocked his cuffs. "Dearka?" Mir asked him confused. Dearka looked away from her. He couldn't face the love of his life with his past. "You had to come and mess everything up didn't you?" Dearka asked getting angry. "Dearka!" Athrun shouted. "Athrun." Cagalli said softly. Athrun's eyes got big and then he closed them. "Yzak will be coming soon." Athrun said turning away from Cagalli and the others.

"Dearka?" Mir asked one more time as Athrun left the room. "I'll tell you everything in time. I promise. Please Mir." Dearka said pleading with Mir. "I don't know." Mir said tuning away from him facing Cagalli. Cagalli sighed. Dearka stood and went to the front of the truck along with Athrun.

"Now Cagalli. Please if you don't call your dad, then call Tolle of me. Please." Mir begged. "Fine!" Cagalli said finally giving in. Cagalli was no fool to handcuffs and slipped them off with grace. Cagalli grabbed her cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello. I need to speak with my father." Cagalli said into the phone. "Who? Oh, Uzumi Nara Athha."


Ha yes some things weirdness. XP Review please. And yes I have Tolle in there. What part will he play. We may never know. Well I know but I not saying know. How 'bout this a little preivew for future chapters. Yeah I'll do that. Enjoy!

"Please I beg of you, please forget every single thing you know about me. Please remove my presence from your heart and soul, please." Cagalli said softly. "Cagalli cut the play crap!" Athrun shouted.

"No… what?" Lacus said confused. She hand tears in her eyes. "You can't leave me Kira." she said crying putting her hands in her face.

Ha! And that's all you get. I'm evil to you all now.
