Chapter 10 Concert of love
Cagalli sighed deeply as she was back stage. "Nervous?" Athrun asked coming from behind her. "Ah! Umm . . . Yeah, just a little." Cagalli said looking out to the crowd again. Athrun smiled at her and she smiled an unsure smile back. "Don't worry your Cagalli Yula Attha, a pop princess, they'll love you." Athrun said pulling her into a hug and rest the top of his chin on the top of her head. Cagalli took a deep breath and sighed. "Yeah!" she said happily.
"Cagalli, your not going alone either." Lacus said walking up to Cagalli and touched her arm. Athrun looked over and saw Lacus. She was wearing a pink dress that started at her chest and spilt an inch above her knee. There where darker pink swirls on the top and a little bit of them on the side of the slit. There were no sleeves but add on sleeves. Which started half way up her upper arm that draped over her arm to her elbow which reviled a pink see through cloth for the rest of the arm to her wrist. And of course had her white high heels on.
"Wow, when did you buy that Lacus?" Athrun asked remembering a time when she could have gotten it. "Kira gave it to me." Lacus answered him happily. "Kira?" Cagalli questioned looking at her brother who was wearing a blush. "I have one for you to Cagalli. But later when you perform together." Kira said losing his blush and smiled toward his sister. Now Athrun felt bad. And this didn't go un noticed by Cagalli. "I love you too ya know." Cagalli said giving Athrun a kiss on the cheek. "Hey now!" Kira said in a warning tone. And Lacus just laughed at him.
"Ms. Attha your cloths are here hurry and get changed please." a stage hand said and ran away from them to get things ready. "Well I better go." Cagalli said a waved the others off. Athrun sighed. "What's wrong Athrun?" Mir asked entering the waiting room they were in with Dearka. "Well, I just want to make her happy." Athrun said. "Athrun being with Cagalli all these years I can tell you she is happiest with you." Mir said with a smile. Athrun smiled back at her. "I'm going to ask her tonight." Athrun said pulling out a small velvet box. "No way!" Lacus said happily standing up from when she was sitting down. "But I don't know when." Athrun mumbled looking at the box stroking the soft texture.
"I'm back!" Cagalli said happily running over to the others as Athrun quickly pocketed the box. "What's wrong?" Cagalli asked as everyone watched her. "You're a girl!" Dearka said looking at her. She punched him in the shoulder. "Of course I'm a girl!" Cagalli shouted at him. "No this just reminds me you are a girl." Dearka said trying to defend himself. "That means the same thing jackass!" Cagalli shouted at him again.
It was true though Cagalli looked nice. Her hair was down but for a bit of the top half was pulled into a pony tail, as her front bangs framed her face and the back of her hair flared out at the end. She was wearing a top that was cut in half, part of it was green that followed up her neck but with a button clipping it together at the top. It spilt into a shape of an upside down U and pulled into long sleeves with a black band around the middle of the lower part of her arm and had a slit to that point. There was a green band that went across her chest that had a black see through cloth to her belly button, but she was wearing a black bikini top under it so you couldn't see anything. The pants were green as well with a small black bands around an inch below her knee cap. With matching sandals. "You look great Cagalli." Athrun said after looking at her for a minute or two.
"Ms. Attha, be ready to be on stage in 5." said the same stage hand and ran past them again. "Good luck." Athrun said kissing her forehead and the others left her and Lacus behind. "I'll be right here okay Cagalli." Lacus said holding Cagalli's hand. "Yeah I know." Cagalli said with a smile. She turned and took a deep breath. "I can do it." she said happily clenching her fist. Lacus nodded and Cagalli took center stage.
The music started playing as the curtain rose up.
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess
Cagalli started sing as fan clapped for her. And she sang. And some people sang along.
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go alone
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Incomplete
As Cagalli finished whistles and cheers came from the song as chanted "Cagalli". Athrun smiled as Cagalli smiled to the crowd. Being her body guard meant he could stand in the front of the stage.
You act like you don't know me
When you see me on the street
You're makin' like i turn you off
When I know you think I'm sweet
Cagalli started again singing. And more people sang along.
It don't have to be like that
I guess you're insecure
If you say what's on your mind
I might answer 'Sure'
So I walk a little slower
And I try to catch your eye
Sometimes, it's so hard to see
The good things passing by
There may never be a sign
NO flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right
Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not
You always, dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keep waiting where you are
For what, you'll never know
Let's just get into your car
And go, baby, go
Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not
Oh... oh
I could be the one
for you
Oh... yeah
Maybe yes,
maybe no
Oh... oh
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is
You gotta let me know
You'll never get to heaven or even to L.A.
If you don't believe there's a way
Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But... why not
Why not
Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not
Cagalli finished with that song and more people clapped. Cagalli looked to Athrun and smiled. He smiled back. Then she sang Angel. And every one cheered. And she left for a cloths change. She came out wearing a light blue sparkling t-shirt and hip hugger jeans. And then she welcomed everyone and thanked them for coming out. And then she sang another song.
I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
More people clapped and cheered and Athrun made a face to Cagalli. She smiled at him. She pulled the mouthed 'I love you.' and blew a kiss to him. Which the crowd thought it was to them and cheered more. Then she sang 'Blame it on the weather man.' and the crowd listened to the new song and everyone clapped. Cagalli smiled and went off stage to change again. That's Athrun made his move.
He was walking backstage as he saw Lacus and Kira. "Ready?" Lacus asked taking his hand. "Yeah he nodded. "You know what to do?" Athrun asked her. "Yes, I will say to Cagalli that I think there something we need before we go on, and you walk on stage and propose." Lacus said happily. Kira shook his head. "Good luck Athrun." Kira said and Lacus walked off to help Cagalli dress.
"Ready?" Athrun asked Kira. Kira blushed and took out the pink diamond ring he had in his pocket and looked at it lovingly. "Yeah." he muttered and place the ring in his pocket again. "Ready!" Cagalli said running in. She was wearing a cream colored dress with the top starting at her neck and it opened up to show her shoulders but wrapped back around in the middle of her upper arm and followed it down to her hand where it was like a glove but cut off at her fingers and thumb. That top part followed down her back like a cape. There was an under dress that was also cream colored and cut into three panels with the middle one longest going down to her knee. All of it lined with gold lining. She also was wearing cream boots that followed all the way up her leg. To top off the sleeves gold bracelets with the same design of Lacus's dark pink color were on them, on both arms. "Athrun what are doing here?" Cagalli asked as Lacus entered as well.
"Well as your body guard I need to be here for when you finish so you are safe." Athrun said. 'Good thing I thought of reasons or else I would be in trouble.' he thought. Lacus and Kira let out the breath they were holding. "So lets go Cagalli." Lacus said tugging on Cagalli's sleeve. "Okay." Cagalli said turning back to the stage. And Athrun noticed the white flowers in her hair because it was down. He smiled.
"Okay this is the last song of the night and I am going to be singing with my friend Lacus Clyne." Cagalli said grabbing the mike. "But Cagalli something needs to be addressed first." Lacus and gave a wink off stage. Athrun stepped on stage. "A-Athrun?" Cagalli questioned running over to him. He had a mike in his hand started talking as she made her way toward him.
"Cagalli, you are the best girl I have ever met, and you are different then any other girl I have met." Athrun started looking at her as she stood in front of him with a confused look on her face. "And I wanted to know . . . " he started and got down on one knee and the crowd that was silent before started cheering and Cagalli covered her mouth with her hands. "Will you marry me?" he asked holding up the opened velvet reliving a ring that had a emerald as deep as Athrun's eyes on a sliver band. The crowd got quite as she didn't answer at first. Cagalli started crying, "Of course you idiot!" she yelled and jumped into his arms. The crowd started cheering again. And Athrun slipped the ring on her finger.
By now Kira entered the stage from the other side were Lacus was standing, crying at Athrun and Cagalli. "Lacus?" Kira questioned her as she turned tears brimming in her eyes. "Yes?" she asked wiping away the tears away. "Will you?" he asked getting on his knee and brought up the pink ring. "Of course!" Lacus said happily and hugged Kira.
After the big surprises the girls got back on stage as there fiancées waited for them on the sides of the stage.
You're the kind of friend
Who always bends when I'm broken,
Like remember when...
You took my heart and put it back together again.
I've been wasting time with clueless guys but now it's over.
Let me tell you why...I'm through...I've got someone new who's just like you!
Cagalli sang and Lacus sang the last line together with her.
You're it, you're the Ultimate,
It's automatic I'm sure of it.
No lie, so don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy.
Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,
But you're it. You're the Ultimate you.
They sang together and Lacus took the next verse.
You're the kind of guy who's hand's in mine..
Sends shivers, up and down my spine.
You took my heart and put it back together again.
You're the kind of guy that blows my mind..
But now it's my turn, you've been right in front of me.
Everything I knew why didn't I see?
And they sang next together.
You're it, you're the Ultimate,
It's automatic I'm sure of it.
No lie, so don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy.
Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,
But you're it. You're the Ultimate you.
Cagalli started the opening part of the next part and Lacus joined half way through.
You're it, you're the Ultimate,
It's automatic I'm sure of it.
No lie, so don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy.
You're it, you're the Ultimate,
It's automatic I'm sure of it.
No lie, so don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy.
Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,
But you're it. You're the Ultimate you.
And they sang the last line together.
You're it...you're the Ultimate YOU!
Cagalli ran off stage and hugged Athrun. And Lacus did the same. "Great show guys!" Mir said happily to the four of them. "Yeah." Dearka mumbled with a blush on his face. "Don't be shy. I love it!" Mir said happily hugging Dearka. Cagalli blinked and then saw a gold band with a diamond on it. "Congrats!" Cagalli said as no one else picked up. "Thanks Cagalli, you to." Mir said happily as Lacus saw the ring and gasped. "Mir!" Lacus said happily hugging her. And all of the girls giggled.
Athrun sighed as he sung on the porch swing. Silently Cagalli slept on his shoulder. He smiled at her. He slowly moved a part of her hair out of the way of her face. She mumbled and sifted a bit and snuggled closer on Athrun's warmth. He remembered early that day what had happened.
"So that's what really happened with us?" Cagalli asked sifting slightly. "Yeah, when we got back to your house the next day they tried to blow it up." Athrun mumbled looking at her. He stood up and looked out the window. "I miss you." he mumbled looking at her with a sad smile. Cagalli smiled back.
Lacus was silently shearing tears remembering when she met Kira and everything that has happened. Kira hugged her and she smiled.
Athrun left out of the house leaving a confused Cagalli. He sat on the beach and looked out into the water as Blame it on the weather came on but with no words.
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.
Turned and saw Cagalli standing there with a small smile on her face. He smiled back and turned back to the ocean. Cagalli looked at the sand and then ran past Athrun to the water. It was right at her ankle which was okay because she was wearing shorts. Athrun stood up and followed her in.
"I love Athrun Zala!" Cagalli screamed into the water. He looked at her with wide eyes. "Had to ruin the concert just like the play huh?" Cagalli asked looking at him with a smile on her face, not her lost smile he had just seen in the past two hours, but Cagalli's true smiled. "Cagalli?" he asked looking at her. "Who else?" she said smiling at him more. He laughed and threw her into a big hug. "I love you, I love you, I love you," he said over and over in her ear.
"Athrun?" Cagalli asked looking up at him snapping him out of his dreams. "Yes?" he asked her. "I want to get married." Cagalli said with a smile on her face, due to his shocked look. "Now?" he asked. "Yeah." Cagalli said sitting up. "Umm . . . Okay get a minister and call some friends over sure. It's only 6 so we have some time." Athrun said glancing into his watch. Cagalli smiled a sly smile. "Athrun everyone's been called and there already coming." Cagalli said. Athrun looked at her. "I asked Lacus and Kira to call before I went out to you." she said with a smile.
So they got married, Lacus sang Fields of Hope to end the wedding and Cagalli wore her cream dress and Athrun borrowed a tux from Kira. Stellar, Shinn, Mir, Dearka, Yzak, Luna, Rey, Meryin, and Auel all came and they got married. Of course Kira and Lacus were already there. "Do you Athrun Zala take Cagalli to be your wife, to have and to hold in sickness and in health till death do you part?" asked the priest. "I do." Athrun said looking into Cagalli's deep honey brown eyes. "And do you Cagalli Yula Attha take Athrun Zala to be your husband, to have and to hold in sickness and in health till death do you part?" asked the priest to Cagalli. "I do." she said softly. "You may now kiss the bride." he said as Athrun and Cagalli kissed each other in so long. They kissed for at least two minutes. Before Kira came in and broke them up and everyone laughed.
Athrun smiled at his little girl in the bed. Her messy blue hair sprawled across her pillow. Cagalli's blond hair mixed with it at the end. Athrun stood up from his bed. This woke up there child. "Daddy?" she asked turning over to find her missing daddy. "Hi Sakura." he said cupping her cheek and kissing her forehead.
"Daddy why does mommy sleep so much?" asked little Sakura as she ate her cereal. "Because mommy is a busy person and doesn't get good sleep." Athrun said making pancakes as some one hit his arm. "Ah my beloved Cagalli Yula Zala how are you this morning?" Athrun asked half kidding and kissed her forehead. Cagalli sat down at the table as Sakura looked at her with her own honey brown eyes and ran to sit in her lap. Cagalli picked her up and smiled. "Great full." Cagalli mumbled playing with Sakura's hair. Athrun smiled as she hear Cagalli.
I hope the ending is not confusing. Well this is the last chapter to the story. So thanks for all who read. And yes she did get her meomory. And there daughter is Sakura. I used that name before for in one of my fics so I used it again. And Italcs are for flashback and the bold is when Cagalli was singing, should have put it at top. ;;; oh well. Review last chapter please.
