"Hm...going to a trip to America, sounds fun." Cagalli said.
"Yea." Mir and Dearka both agreed.
"Okay, then I might as well explain everything here." Athrun stated.
Athrun told them everything about the surgery except for the expense and who's going to perform it, since he knew that if Cagalli found out about those things, she would most likely never live it down or stop constantly nagging.
"Athrun look at how much it cost! I'm going back to PLANTS and never show my face to you again! I'm such a burden! You would be better off without me! Blah blah blah blah." A shiver went down his back as Athrun thought of Cagalli saying it over and over again.
Cagalli seemed to be deep in thought after Athrun explained everything.
"You don't have to do this surgery you know. It's just that Mwu said this was the only way that you can be saved. There could be other ways." Athrun said reassuringly.
"I'll do the surgery." Cagalli said.
"What! Do you know how risky it is? Wouldn't you rather spend the rest of time you have left doing what you want?" Dearka said with shock as he raised his voice.
Mir didn't say anything, but from what she looked like it seemed as though she was agreeing with Dearka.
"I promised Athrun that I would try to continue living on no matter what, and if doing this surgery is the only chance I have to stay alive then I will try it." Cagalli replied.
Athrun was quite content at Cagalli's answer, yet he also had doubts. He was always thinking on the bright side and that the surgery would be successful, but after what Dearka said, Athrun was not so sure if he had done the right thing telling Cagalli about the surgery. If the surgery was unsuccessful and Cagalli ended up dying...would he be able to face it?
Athrun shook his head trying to get the thoughts of Cagalli dead out of his mind.
"How much does it cost for the surgery?" Cagalli asked.
"O don't worry about that. Um...you see PLANTS has free health care and um...PLANTS and earth is connected, so the cost for the surgery is covered in America." Athrun quickly made up something.
"It is? I didn't know that. I've heard of Canada having free health care, because it is 15 percent tax there, but I've never heard of America being the same and PLANTS health care having anything to do with earth." Cagalli said rubbing her chin as if she was thinking really hard.
Both Dearka and Mir crossed their arms and stared at Athrun waiting for an answer, since they knew he was lying.
"SSShhh..." Athrun brought his finger to his lips signaling for them to be quiet.
Dearka and Mir was starting to catch on to the reason Athrun was lying.
Before Cagalli looked at Athrun he quickly put down his hand.
"Yea, before it wasn't like that, but now it changed." Mir said trying to help Athrun.
"Yea, um...cause of this government thing happening, PLANTS and earth are like connected in the medical way." Dearka joined in after getting a nudge from Mir.
"Heh, well I guess I'm pretty outdated with these things." Cagalli laughed in embarrassment.
Athrun was relieved when Cagalli finally believed them.
"Yea." Dearka laughed nervously.
Mir smiled as she scratched the back of her head.
Time was passing quickly and it was already pretty late.
"I think I should get going now." Dearka said while yawning.
"Yea, all of you must be pretty tired now, you should get some rest." Cagalli said.
Mir reluctantly listened to Cagalli as she and Dearka exited her room.
"Bye."
"See you later."
Athrun just stood there.
"I want to stay with you. I don't want to let you out of my sight anymore."
"That was so mushy." Cagalli giggled.
"What's wrong with being mushy to my future wife?" Athrun smirked.
Within seconds a huge blush formed on Cagalli's cheeks.
"Ha, see you're blushing." Athrun laughed.
Cagalli just playfully punched Athrun on the arm.
"What was that for?" Athrun smiled.
"For making me blush." Cagalli answered as she was beginning to return to her old self.
A few hours passed and sleep took over Cagalli.
Athrun looked at the peacefully at the sleeping figure and couldn't help but lightly give Cagalli a kiss on the cheek.
She suddenly started to talk, which startled Athrun a bit.
"After we get married, I want three children. Two girls and one boy, no wait the boy might become gay being together with two girls. Then I want four children now, two girls and two boys. Heh heh that would be perfect." Cagalli said and started drooling a bit.
"O yea, I almost forgot she talks during her sleep." Athrun sweat dropped as he recalled at what Cagalli just said.
He pulled the blanket to her shoulders worrying that it might be to cold because of the air conditioning.
Athrun really didn't want to leave her, but it was two in the morning and there was tons of work waiting for him to finish.
He slowly tip-toed out of the room and gently closed the door hoping that she wouldn't wake up. Luckily she was a deep sleeper.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Good thing he didn't have his car with him or he would have fell asleep while he was driving. Calling his bodyguards was only his last resort because, they were the most annoying people he's ever met. Taking the bus seemed like the only option that appealed to Athrun at the moment.
After what seemed forever, he finally arrived back at his house.
Being so tired Athrun waited for the extremely annoying bodyguard that was constantly nagging him, to open the door. When he entered his house it was sparkling clean due to the house maids, there were so many rooms that just seemed to continue beyond his sight, the furniture was so elegant that none of his bodyguards actually dared to sit on since if it got dirtied by them it would cost them half a years salary, this house was just perfect. To a normal person they would say that this house was fit for a king, but to Athrun Zala he would rather live in an apartment. Every time he entered the house, he would always wonder why it was so freakishly big, why in the world would he need so many rooms and does there need to be a T.V in every single room.
Having ten bodyguards follow him to his room was already getting on his nerves, but with them nagging at you 24/7...Athrun was about to explode.
After a long five minutes walk he finally reached his room, which was humongous with a king sized bed, a washroom that was the size of almost the whole kitchen, his closet was filled with clothing and most of the clothes in there he's never even worn yet, there was almost a bit of gold everywhere he looked, even his toilet was made of gold and one thing that Athrun found the most ridiculous about the room was that he had a personal bar in there. All Athrun wanted was a plain normal room, but his designers made it into this. The designers even insisted that this is the most normal it could get. They were planning to put a gym in there, which Athrun immediately rejected the idea.
Before the bodyguards could nag him anymore he slammed the door on them.
Athrun got changed and quickly started on the mountain of work that was piled on top of his desk. Checking the clock over and over again trying to stay away.
"Ugh. At least the work is all done." Athrun stretched his stiff arms and hands.
"six' o'clock in the morning now if I go really fast I could just make it to the hospital and buy some flowers for Cagalli. To bad there isn't enough time to personally make some congee for her." Athrun thought.
He quickly changed back to a suit and made his way towards the first floor.
"I'm in a rush today, so I'm not eating breakfast!" Athrun called out to his house maids and took the key to the car.
"You don't need a ride from the bodyguards today?" His butler who was nearing his seventies suddenly popped out of nowhere.
"Nope." Athrun replied as he slipped into his shoes.
"Don't tell them I'm gone right now." Athrun said.
"Yes sir, do you remember the meeting scheduled for today?" The butler asked.
"Yea." Athrun said and rushed out the door towards his car.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Cagalli will just love these flowers." Athrun thought as he took a sniff of them
He arrived to her room and gently opened her door.
"Still sleeping, I shouldn't wake her up." Athrun said to himself as he laid a dozen of flowers on the table, kissed her lightly on the forehead and made his way out silently and closed the door.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
"I'm going to be late!" Athrun said while panting for air as he ran towards the meeting room.
He opened the door and found Dearka, Kira and Yzak impatiently waiting.
"Athrun's finally here, so let's start the meeting." Kira calmly said.
When the meeting was almost over Athrun cut in.
"I don't know if it's the time to say this, but I'm resigning." Athrun put his hands together.
Kira, Yzak and Dearka were all starting at him.
"What do you mean you're resigning?" Yzak broke the silence.
"We're good as dead if you leave!" Dearka added.
"Don't worry. I'm not taking anything with me except for personal stuff in my office." Athrun reassured.
"Kira can have 30 percent of my share, Yzak also gets 30 percent and Dearka can have 40 percent." Athrun said.
"Why does Dearka get 40 percent while Kira and I only get 30 percent?" Yzak raised his voice with anger.
"Yzak, calm down Dearka and Athrun were the original creators of this company. I have no complaints, but why are you leaving so suddenly?" Kira asked.
"I don't know. I guess I'm just tired of doing all these illegal things, and anyways I have some personal things to attend to." Athrun honestly answered.
Athrun meant "Personal things" by Cagalli.
Dearka knew why Athrun was leaving the company, but couldn't believe he would give up on revenging his dad just because of Cagalli.
Yzak didn't like the fact that he was only getting 30 percent of Athrun's share, but seeing that no one was on his side he had to live with it.
"I'll be gone within a week." Athrun concluded.
Fifteen minutes later the meeting was over and when all of them were returning to their office Athrun kept Kira back.
"What's up?" Kira asked.
"I just wanted to ask you how to contact Lacus." Athrun answered.
"O, she's currently in America right now, I have her number. Do you want it?"
"Yea, sure." Athrun replied.
Kira searched his pockets for a piece of paper to write on, but he only found his business card. He took out a pen and wrote down some numbers down.
"Here. She's usually not that busy." Kira said and handed his business card with Lacus's number on it.
"Thanks a lot." Athrun said and quickly headed towards his office.
He sat down his chair and brought the phone to his ear while dialing the numbers written on the card.
"Hello? Lacus Clyne speaking."
"Hi Lacus, I'm Athrun and I wanted to ask you some things."
The conversation lasted for about an hour and Athrun was getting hundreds of other calls on the other line, but didn't pick up any of them.
"Seeing the medical records of Cagalli, she should be able to do this surgery." Lacus said.
"What would be a good time for her to do this surgery?" Athrun asked.
"If it's not to much trouble three days from now. I know it might be kind of rushing it, but seeing her condition she could die just any day now and doing this surgery A.S.A.P would be best." Lacus honestly said.
"Three days...I guess we can make it, but she's still in hospital right now." Athrun said unsurely.
"Don't worry. I can take care of that." Lacus reassured.
"Okay then, I have to see if she can get ready in three days though." Athrun said.
"Sure, alright I have to go now. Bye."
"Later." Athrun said before hanging up.
There were so many things going through Athrun's head that he couldn't concentrate on work.
"I'm resigning anyways, so leaving now shouldn't be a problem." Athrun thought.
Athrun walked out of his office.
"I don't feel so good, so I'm taking the rest of the day off." Athrun left quickly out the door before his secretary could say anything.
"That was easy. It's not like I can fire myself." Athrun smirked as he drove in the direction of the hospital.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Athrun entered Cagalli's room to see that the flowers were all neatly put into a vase.
Cagalli noticed Athrun's arrival and greeted him with a huge smile.
"You like the flowers?" Athrun inquired.
"They are so nice!" Cagalli ran over to Athrun and gave him a hug.
"Seems like you're all better." Athrun blushed.
"Yea, I don't even feel tired anymore." Cagalli let go of Athrun.
"Then do you think you are able to make it to America three days from now to do the surgery?" Athrun asked

A/N: this chapter was kind of boring, but like ritachi said "every story needs a boring chapter, because if there weren't then the story couldn't proceed on."
And about the two girls and the boy being gay thing, I don't have anything against gay people, but it's just that my best friend has two sisters and they influence him so much he became pretty girlish, so that's where that part came from.
Thnx to ZGMF X-19A Infinite Justice, ritachi, GaIa12GSD, xoxoanimeluber, TotalAnimeGirl, gseedlover, koali alolao, IYGU, Cagalli Yula Athha, aznanim3-3y3s, Susan, and Fantasticgirlz for reviewing!
P.S: heh heh I spelled Lacus wrong, the crappy subs I watch always has it like "lucus" and after a while I got to writing it that way. I guess bad habits are hard to change.
