Been off fora while but back with another chapter. Was going to be the final chapter but isn't. I still have one more chapter to type up and then you all can be free from this story. Okay I don't own Gundam SEED or the songs used in this chapter listed at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 9 Pretty Baby
Rey took Luna home that night. She was still dazed and confused about what happened to her and Shinn. And what was up with Rey. Luna splashed water over her face in the bathroom. "Luna?" Rey asked entering the bathroom in which she was in. "Rey. I'm confused." Luna said walking and laying her chest on his head. "I understand." He said wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "It feels right." Luna said after a minute or two. "Yeah." Rey said nodding his head. "And I think me and Shinn are broken up." Luna said with a bit of a laugh. Rey wasn't fooled. "It's okay to cry. You guys have been together for almost 2 years now." Rey said pulling her back a bit. "I know. It's just- just." she started and then it turned into a full on sob. Rey hugged to her again. "It's okay." he whispered in his ear.
The sun was brightly shining down on Orb the next day and children played with water guns outside and parents sat outside watching them. Cagalli was not held in that exception either. Lacus was going to help her pick out some new cloths for her upcoming concert. Athrun tagged along as her bodyguard of course. Cagalli was humming her new song loud enough for Lacus to hear it. She looked over at her. "Cagalli?" Lacus asked getting her attention. "Yes?" Cagalli stopped humming and looked over at her friend. Lacus peered into Cagalli's eyes and she seemed to . . . glow. "What happened last night Cagalli? You seem like a different person all of a sudden?" Lacus asked seeing how Cagalli hummed more. Athrun blushed behind them.
Lacus couldn't help that Cagalli didn't answered and didn't look at her and that Athrun was blushing like a mad man. "Oh, I get it." Lacus said with a devilish smile on her face. "What, Lacus wait!" Athrun frantically shouted to try and stop her in her crazy thinking.
"What, Athrun?" Lacus said while turning and facing with a pure smile of joy on her face. "What do you umm think we umm did?" Athrun tried to ask not sounding like they did anything, but the blush still covering his face. "Don't worry I won't tell Kira." Lacus said with a wink and ran to where Cagalli was turning into a store. Athrun's blush came even more red, if that was possible.
Athrun entered the store as Lacus and Cagalli already started shopping. "It is after glow isn't?" Lacus asked with a blush on her face to Cagalli. Cagalli's face lit up and she ran into a changing room. Lacus just laughed at her. "Lacus that wasn't nice." Athrun said as he watched Cagalli peer out of the room with n evil glare toward Lacus.
After a while before Lacus stopped laughing and Athrun pulled Cagalli out of the dressing room they started shopping. Lacus picked a green shorts outfit for her to wear, a purple and white skirt set thing, and forced her to buy a yellow-ish dress. Lacus was happy with her shopping and went home early and left Athrun and Cagalli to themselves.
"So what happens last night doesn't go any where past us right?" Athrun asked with a blush on his face while they walked down the alley way. "Why I don't think we have to worry." Cagalli said with a playful smile on her face. "Cagalli!" Athrun yelled in protest following her. "We don't have to be up set Athrun. We didn't do anything wrong." Cagalli said giving him side glances. "Yeah, but we almost did." Athrun said thinking back to last night.
Athrun noticed that the light in Cagalli's room went out. He glanced at the clock and noticed it to be 9:00 pm. That was pretty early for Cagalli. So he did what any guy would do and checked up on her.
"Cagalli?" Athrun asked stepping into the room. Cagalli looked up as she saw Athrun and smiled at him. He looked at her then sat down on the bed next to her. "Athrun I don't know what to do anymore!" Cagalli yelled out in frustration. Athrun smiled and placed a arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry Cagalli, it will be okay." Athrun said bringing her closer. They were both quite for a while and then Cagalli took the liberty of speaking first. "I love you." she mumbled. "Yeah I know." he said with a smiled.
Cagalli drew her into a deep kiss. Athrun kissed back and soon they were both lost in the moment. Athrun was kissing her neck tenderly and Cagalli played with Athrun's hair between her fingers giving off soft moans. "Yo Cagalli. Your talent agent is here to see you." Kira yelled from the hallway. Athrun and Cagalli both bolted up and blushed. "Oh my god what were doing?" Cagalli asked in a mumbled fixing her top and pulling everything down. "I don't know?" Athrun mumbled confused at his own actions. Cagalli left in a hurry and left Athrun in her room.
"Really I don't know what happened." Athrun mumbled looking at his hand. "It's okay Athrun." Cagalli said giving him a kiss on the cheek. Athrun smiled at her before a giant crowd appeared when they exited the alley way. "I hate mobs." Cagalli mumbled while grabbing a autographic book.
Lacus happily smiled as she entered the house. Cagalli headed up for Cagalli's room but got a little lost. This place is huge after all. Lacus got to thinking as she heard footsteps coming her way. 'This is Cagalli's house, what if it's a guard that doesn't know me and kicks me out, or a pervert coming to steal some of Cagalli's thing for a person collection he has of her, or a rapid fan boy, or a murder?' Lacus thought as the footsteps came closer and it stopped behind her.
"Pervert!" Lacus screamed slapping the person in the face. 'Best action to take, and you hit them, go Lacus' Lacus thought to her self as she turned to see it was. "Kira!" Lacus yelled seeing her boyfriend behind her. "Oh my god, Kira!" Lacus said looking at him as he kept his face still from the slap. Lacus ran past him. 'What have I done?' Lacus thought running out the door leaving the bags in the hallway. She ran to her favorite place: the garden.
"Lacus?" Someone called to her. "Huh?" Lacus looked around to find the person who called. "Cagalli Athrun!" Lacus called out in surprise. 'yeah we got out of mob.' Cagalli thought as Lacus walked to them. "Hey what's wrong? You were making all sorts of faces just now." Cagalli asked her. "Huh I was!" Lacus asked feeling a blush coming on her face. "Fret not, Lacus. You looked more worried then weird." Athrun said smiling at her. Lacus smiled at them.
Athrun stood up. "I'm going to get some juice. Any request?" Athrun asked looking to Cagalli and Lacus. "Wait. . . Let me. . " Lacus started before Cagalli stood up. "Let him get them Lacus. I'll have a peach." Cagalli said looking toward Athrun. "Umm A lemon please." Lacus said to Athrun. "Then Lemon and Peach, I'll be right back." Athrun said turning and going back to the house.
"Well, not to pry or anything, but is there something wrong, Lacus?" Cagalli asked looking toward her as both sat down. "Umm. . ." Lacus mumbled looking where Athrun walked off from. "Don't worry, Athrun won't be back for a while." Cagalli said looking to where Lacus was. "Huh?" Lacus said turning to her. "He noticed you weren't feeling well, so he thought I should listen if you wanted to talk. Though he knows you better then me, but it is good to talk." Cagalli said as Lacus turned to the flowers on the floor wall.
"When did he say that?" Lacus asked turning back to Cagalli. "Well, he didn't. But I know that he meant it." Cagalli said with a smile as a butterfly flew over head. "You mean with just a look!" Lacus asked happily to her. "Well we are together now. Do you want to talk or not?" Cagalli asked eyeing Lacus with a smile on her face.
"Umm . . . What if you were to called Athrun something bad or hit him hard, Cagalli?" Lacus asked looking at her with a blush. "What kind of bad like give him a good slap, or calling him a sicko, or a good smack in the chest?" Cagalli asked digging deeper. "No nothing like that." Lacus said holding her hands up in defense. Lacus looked at the flowers again. "I'd apologize." Cagalli mumbled. "What" Lacus asked looking at Cagalli smiling at the sky.
"Like I said before, me and Athrun, were together now, and I'm the type to speak my mind. So there are times when I say bad thing or hit him. But I really do love him, and I want to stay together." Cagalli started and looked at Lacus. "So I apologize. A lot of the things I say I don't really mean, or understand in a bad way at the time. It's only later I realize how much I hurt him. That's when I want to apologize. So I say I'm sorry." Cagalli smiled at Lacus. "And I know Athrun will say it's okay. I mean when Athrun does stupid thing, which he actually does, but when he does and he apologizes I say it's okay too." Cagalli finished.
"That's wonderful." Lacus said happily looking at Cagalli with a smile. "So if you apologize to Kira, I'm sure he'll say it is okay." Cagalli with a wink. "Thanks" Lacus mumbled with a blush over her face. "So that juice!" Athrun said popping from behind the one tree scaring Lacus and Cagalli. "Athrun don't do that!" Cagalli yelled at him and punched his arm. "Owww Cagalli." Athrun said rubbing his arm. "I- I'm sorry." Cagalli said looking at the grass. "No problem my love." Athrun said kissing her forehead. Lacus grabbed her drink and left to talk to Kira.
"What did she say?" Athrun said taking a sip out of his own drink. "None of your business!" Cagalli said in protest of him. Athrun smiled at her and tackled her to the ground. "Athrun?" Cagalli asked looking up into Athrun's emerald eyes. They were sitting like they did so long ago on Cagalli's bed. "I love you." Athrun mumbled pulling her into a deep kiss.
Lacus took another long sip of her drink and ran into Kira's room. "Kira?" Lacus questioned as she entered his room. "Oh hi Lacus." Kira said cheerfully to see her. A red mark was still on his face from were she slapped him. "Sorry." Lacus mumbled looking down at the carpet. "Huh?" Kira questioned standing up from his bed. "I'm sorry." Lacus said looking into his soft violet eyes. Kira smiled at her. "Okay." he said and hugged her. Lacus blushed a bit and hugged him back. "Kira I'm sorry I called you a pervert. I just don't know my way around here and I thought.." Lacus started but Kira placed a finger on her lips. "I know. You don't remember everything here. That's okay." Kira said with smile. Lacus smiled too and hugged him.
"God that was great!" Mir said rolling off Dearka. "I didn't know you could stretch like that." Dearka said looking over at Mir on the floor. Beads of sweat covered her forehead. "Yeah, well me neither." Mir said with a laugh. "Oh My God! What are you doing Mir!" A scream came from the door as a boy there age with brown hair entered the room.
He blinked a few times looking at Mir and Dearka lying on the floor with there clothes on and a twister pad on the floor. "Twister?" he asked looking at Mir. "Tolle! What the hell are you doing here!" Mir demanded sitting up looking up at him. "I was. . . Well I just happen to over heard-" Tolle started but Dearka cut him off. "You thought we where doing it. Wow man you need to stop ease dropping." Dearka said sitting up. Mir playfully hit Dearka's arm because he said 'they were doing it'. Tolle looked confused and turned his back to Mir. "I thought you loved me." he said in a whisper. "I do!" Mir said happily standing up swiping off her forehead of sweat. Dearka looked dumbstruck. 'She loves this guy?' Dearka thought looking as Tolle turned to face her. "As a friend of course." Mir said looking at Dearka. Dearka smiled at her.
Tolle smiled at her. "So you found someone new?" he asked looking at Dearka. "Yep! And I told you I would." Mir said as she sat down again and hugged Dearka around his shoulders. Tolle smiled and left. "Who was he?" Dearka asked looking at Mir. "Old boy friend." Mir said and kissed Dearka's cheek.
Cagalli smiled as she woke up. A strong arm around her waist. Athrun who was already up smiled as he pulled her closer. Cagalli decided to play a bit. "You up Cagalli?" Athrun asked. "Unh the sea monkey has my money.(1)" Cagalli mumbled. Athrun giggled a bit. "Yeah I'm a natural blond." Cagalli mumbled a moved a bit. Athrun went on a full on laugh. "Athrun?" Cagalli asked turning over. "Nothing." Athrun mumbled between laughs. Athrun slid out of the bed and went for the bathroom. Cagalli smiled as she stood up and stretched out a bit.
"Have a good night sleep?" Athrun asked pulling her into a hug from behind. "Yes I did. Thanks for laying next to me all night." Cagalli said with a kiss on cheek. Cagalli and Athrun made there way down to breakfast to find Mir and Lacus down there talking. "Hey guys!" Cagalli said happily running to them. "Hey." they answered. "Where's Kira and Dearka?" Athrun asked looking for the other two. "Well. . . "Lacus mumbled looking at her empty plate of food.
"Cagalli!" shouted a girl voice followed by a head of purple hair. "Yunna?" Questioned looking at the man entering the house. "Get out now!" She demanded. Yunna looked at her with a sad puppy dog look. "Now!" Cagalli shouted. Athrun took that cue and threw Yunna out again. "Nice work Athrun!" Kira said tapping Kira on his shoulder. Dearka also came with a smile on his face. "Thanks" Athrun mumbled as a limo came and picked Yunna up.
"Cagalli your concert's tomorrow so let us hear you sing!" Mir said happily as they sat out side in the garden. "Okay I'll sing only two okay." Cagalli said thinking about the songs in her head. 'How many songs are you singing tomorrow?" Lacus asked sitting down on the blanket around some flowers. "It's only a small concert so only 6." Cagalli said picking her first song.
She lived like she knew nothing lasts
Didn't care to look like anyone else
And she was beautiful, so beautiful
I still hear her laugh like she's here
Shower it down on all the young
It isn't so wrong to have such fun
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
I'll be proud to be like you
Does the sun shine up at you when you are looking down?
Do you get along with the others around?
It's got to be better than before
You don't need to worry now you're gone
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
Just like you
And when i go to sleep at night
I'll thank you for each blessed thing surrounding me
For every fall I'll ever break
Each moment's breath I wanna taste
Confidence and conscience
Decadent extravagance
Never ending providence
For loving when I had the chance
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Cagalli sang her first song. And Athrun and the others joined them soon enough as Cagalli was picking her second song to sing. "That was great." Lacus commented as Mir nodded in agreement with her. Athrun sat next Dearka as they all on the grass.
Its just one more day.
No one said there would be rain again.
I won't blame it on myself I'll blame it on the weather man.
Get away for a while, here I am out on my own again.
Won't blame it on myself, no I'll blame it on the weather man.
Standing on the shore calling out you name
I was here before, I could see your face.
Only clouds will see tears are in my eyes empty like my heart why'd you say goodbye,
The rain goes on, on, on and on again.
The rain goes on, on, on and on again. The rain goes on, on, on and on again.
Alone I can hear,
hear our song playing for me again.
Won't blame it on myself, oh no I'll blame it on the weather man.
Standing on the shore calling out your name,
I was here before I could see your face.
Only clouds will see tears are in my eyes empty like my heart why'd you say goodbye.
The rain goes on, on, on, and on again.
The rain goes on, on, on and on again.
The rain goes on, on, on and on again.
Maybe it's to late,
maybe its to late to try again.
And maybe I can't break,
And maybe I can't blame the weather man...
The rain goes on, on, on and on again.
The rain goes on, on, on and on again.
The rain goes on, on, on and on again.
I'll blame it on the weather man...
As Cagalli finished the last song Athrun and the others clapped. "That one is new." Kira said after everyone was one clapping. "Yeah well I just finished writing it the day before Athrun and the others came so I didn't get a lot of time to practice it. But I'm glad you all like it." Cagalli said with a smile.
Athrun took Cagalli to the ocean later around 6. The sun was setting and Cagalli almost glowed in the sunset lit beach. Cagalli smiled and slashed around in the water. "Come on Athrun!" Cagalli called out to Athrun while waving her hand in the air. He followed her into the small part of the water. "I love Athrun Zala!" Cagalli yelled facing the ocean. "What are you doing?" Athrun asked pulling her to face him.
"It's said if you shout the person you love into the ocean then it will reflect on to the heavens so it brings you happiness." Cagalli said looking out at the water. "How does that figure?" Athrun asked looking out to the water. "Well the water is blue so it is reflected on to the sky right?" Cagalli asked turning to face him. "Yeah I guess so." Athrun said looking at her. He turned to the water. "I love Cagalli Yula Attha!" Athrun screamed out. Cagalli smiled.
"Kira do you think we can stay like this forever?" Lacus asked looking at the sky which was red, orange, light blue, and slightly purple. "Maybe, well I mean we have to leave this spot or else life will pass us by, but yeah, we can stay together like this forever." Kira said with a smile as Lacus giggled at his logic.
Mir and Dearka sat out in the garden some more. "Sky looks so nice." Mir said glancing up at the sky again. "Just as pretty as you." Dearka said looking at her. Mir smiled with a small blush on her face.
Luna sat on the top of Rey's roof. "Hey there." Rey said in a small voice as he greeted Luna. "Hey there!" she said with a smile on her face. "So Shinn is happy?" Rey asked noticing that his phone hadn't been thrown from the roof. "Yeah." Luna said with a smile. He was mad that you kissed another girl he liked but he was okay, and he's in Stellar's care." Luna said with a smile. "Well first off just to clear the air here, she kissed me first not the other way around, and that's good to hear." Rey said with a smile.
"pretty baby don't you leave me. I have been saving smiles for you. pretty baby why can't you see. you're the one that I belong to. I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm. for you're the sun that breaks the storm. I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound. as long as you keep coming' around, oh pretty baby" Stellar sang softly stroking Shinn's soft black hair. As Shinn slowly fell asleep in her lap.
(1) From finding Nemo. When Dory is waking up. I love that movie. Okay the songs are Angel by the Coors, The rain goes on by Somone(don'tknow the name), and Pretty Baby by Vanessa Carltin.
Okay when I got my last round of reviews some people asked for more Mir x Dearka moments and Lacus x Kira moments. So there you go. Not much but the best I could do. And I almost forgot about the GSD people so I added that bit at the end. I tried to makethe chapterlonger then the rest so I hope you all enjoy. And note I have no idea if that ocean shouting works, just sounded like a cheesy fluf stuff for Cagalli and Athrun. So review please.
