Hey, I finally decided to write the next chapter, I wanted to thank all the other people who sent me reviews and advice. I hope you like it...
Disclaim: I do not own Gundam Seed, or the song "Into the Quiet Night".
a/n: I'm trying my best to add more detail. Ok, before I start, I want to tell ppl that there is no pairing yet...umm Athrun wouldn't accept this opportunity to be in the "For Love of For Money" if he had a girl would he? Same goes for the other guys, I think I said before that they've never had girlfriends..and they're 21! Oh well...
Getting there...: Chapter 3
CAGALLI POV
Cagalli woke up in the middle of the night to get a drink. She just couldn't sleep. She walked to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of milk. After she finished she decided to call Kira's cell. Dialing the number she thought about what she would say. Hmm... Hi Kira! It's me Cagalli! no...hmm..hey, what's up?..guess who it is! Hmmm..
Finally the phone started to ring and Cagalli waited for Kira to pick it up.
ATHRUN POV
The phone was still in Athrun's pocket, from the day Kira let him use it and it vibrated in his pants as it wrung a tune that Kira composed. Athrun sighed, feeling the vibration in his pocket and replied the call..half awake.
"Hello," Athrun sighed into the cell phone.
CAGALLI POV
"Hey Kira what's up?" asked Cagalli anxiously, she didn't seem to notice the difference between Athrun and Kira's voice..maybe she was also half awake. No one replied, the line was cut off.
Maybe I got the wrong number..Never mind, might as well try again later.
She dropped her cup in the sink and went back to sleep. Finally, the sun had risen, it was 9:00 a.m. Cagalli woke up by the sound of Lacus' beautiful voice. She was singing "Into the Quiet Night".
"In this quiet night
I'm waiting for you
Forgetting the past
And dreaming of you"
Cagalli smiled and joined in with Lacus... as she sat up in bed.
"Time passes by,
And memories fade.
But time can't erase,
the love that we've made.
And the stars in the sky,
that I wish upon,
can't bring you back to my side.
Though you're not here with me,
I dream of the day,
we'll meet again.
Hold me close,
so deep in your heart.
I will find you,
no matter where I have to go and..
Dream of you,
for I will be there.
Follow the stars that lead,
Into the quiet night."
Cagalli smiled.--Lacus and I make a great duet...
She shook her hair from side to side and scratched her head. The sun gently touched her face as she opened the blinds, then she heard footsteps approaching. --Lacus...--
Cagalli turned around to see her friend and smiled. "Did you have a good rest?"
"Yes, I did thank you," Lacus smiled back and tied her hair into a ponytail. "Did you?"
Cagalli shook her head and sat on her bed, she looked around the room then at Lacus then at the window. Still don't get why Kira hung up...I'm sure it was his number...
How can I get a good rest, if all I want is to get out of here...
"Did you hear Cagalli?" whispered Lacus.
"What?"
Lacus continued and smiled,"The bachelor is coming today..."
Cagalli's smile turned into a look of disgust.
"Umm, do you really think I care?" She thought about what happened yesterday,
Lacus! I actually had to talk to this bachelor guy yesterday..erm..even though I wasn't supposed to be there.. But anyway, from my first impression of him, he's impatient and rude! I shouldn't tell her about the guy..her hopes are so high on him..these first impressions will just make her upset...
Lacus frowned, walked up to Cagalli and put her hand on her shoulder. "What's up with you these days?"
Cagalli shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "I don't know Lacus, I guess I'm nervous," I can't believe I just said that...
Lacus shook her head, " Hey everyone gets nervous, even I do sometimes..."
Maybe I really am nervous about this whole thing..but I still think its a stupid show...
Cagalli instantly lit up, "I have an idea, why don't we go visit my brother?"
"But the filming starts today..." sighed Lacus, "maybe another time,"
"Ok suit yourself, you're missing out on fun.." Cagalli got up and brushed her hair. Lacus chuckled and went out of Cagalli's room and smiled, she had never seen Cagalli all happy before, except for yesterday... Cagalli put on her favourite jeans and army tank top. She grabbed her cell and keys, and headed out the door. Lacus stopped her, "wait, Cagalli!"
"Ya?" she was anxious to surprise Kira.
"Just be back here before 4:00 p.m., you don't want to be late do you?"
"Ya, sure thing," Cagalli smiled and set her alarm on her Timex watch, forgetting that the alarm on her watch was broken. "I won't be late..I promise."
Lacus smiled as she lead Cagalli out,
"Have a nice time!"
"I will!" Cagalli screamed from the elevator.
She went to the basement to get her car. It was a black Mustang, a gift from her father. She went in, started the car, put on the radio, and headed to the "boys only college", The Archangel Academy. It was a 4 hour drive to the college..but I guess Cagalli didn't seem to mind...---great, I'm going to run out of gas!
ARCHANGEL ACADEMY
Athrun and Kira were eating in the sitting room when someone knocked on their door. "I'll get that," said Kira with a piece of egg hanging from his shirt. He got up from the couch and unlocked the door.
I wonder who that could be..?
A teacher stood in the doorway and smiled, "you have a special guest..."
"But sir, no one called me to visit." Kira replied. The teacher moved out of the way and a person with a hat tackled him down.
"SURPRISE!" Cagalli fell next to her brother and laughed.
"Hey," cried Kira as he rubbed his head, "Why'd you do tha--" he stopped and his eyes widened, "Ccaggalli.."
Cagalli nodded her head and took off her hat, "I'm here, and believe me I wasted practically all my gas and.." she noticed Kira's face turning pale, "what's up Kira?" Kira stood frozen and hugged her..tight...
"Ow, ow!" she laughed, "you're crushing my bones..."
Kira let go of her and smile, "I'm sorry, but it's been a long time since seen you,"
"Ya," Cagalli sighed, "I feel the same way," she hugged her brother again and someone came in.
"Hey, am I ruining the moment Kira?" Athrun asked quietly. His voice went into Cagalli's mind and reminded her of the voice she heard when she was trying to call Kira in the morning...erm..maybe she wasn't half asleep after all. Kira smiled as Cagalli let go of him.
"No, we were just about finished."
Cagalli looked at Athrun from head to toe--This guy looks decent, his blue hair, his emerald eyes...
Kira felt awkward at the silence and volunteered to begin the conversation.
"So, Cagalli, meet my friend Athrun, Athrun meet my sister Cagalli," Athrun took a hold of Cagalli's hand and shook it, "Nice to meet you." Cagalli blushed and found herself falling for this guy. Lacus' words came back to annoy her, remember Cagalli; true love can be found anywhere...
Cagalli snapped out of her moment and shook his hand too, "Nice to meet you Athrun..."
Wait...did Kira just say Athrun! Athrun Zala... the bachelor? I gotta ask him, maybe its just a coincidence...
"Athrun Zala!" blurted out Cagalli, and quickly covered her mouth.
"She must be a huge fan," Kira chuckled.
"Umm, I got to go..." Cagalli headed out the door, Athrun grabbed her wrists. "Wait!"
Cagalli turned her head so that she couldn't see him. Athrun gently turned her head around, "Hey, if you came to see Kira, why don't you stay a while, I mean its not like their filming right now..its just 4:30-----" he paused, and Cagalli's eyes widened, "4:30!" --time goes so fast..and I just came, why didn't my watch beep! Then she realized…Dammit I broke my watch when I fell off the secretary's desk yesterday…
At that time, Athrun realized that he was also late...and let go of Cagalli, she ran out of the door... Lacus is going to kill me!
"Bye Kira, Bye Athrun!"
"Hey wait!" Athrun screamed as she ran for the door. Great I have no ride, my car's out of gas... and Kira doesn't have a car..
"Great I'm late!"
Kira looked at his friend and handed him his stuff.. "Here, I prepared it yesterday, just incase you forgot..and I guess you..well..forgot."
"Bbbut..how did you, when did you...never mind thanks Kira, I have a ride to catch up to!" Athrun ran out the door and into the parking lot, he looked around and found Cagalli in her car about to go.
"Hey?" he screamed trying to catch a breath, Cagalli turned her head and saw Athrun coming her way. What does he want!
"Can I please get a ride?"
Cagalli felt sorry for the guy and let him in, "get in the car,"
Athrun smiled and closed the door as he sat down. "Thanks, I need to make it up to you,"
Cagalli forced herself to smile and then turned away.--you better..Lacus is gonna hate me for this...
As they were on their way to the PLANTS studio, Athrun was checking his bag. --Wow, Kira actually managed to get all the things I needed in here, camera, underwear, shirts, and pants...
Cagalli's stomach growled and she blushed. "How embarrassing," she muttered. Athrun chuckled, "May I suggest going over there?" He pointed to a restaurant near by.
"Good idea, I'm starving I hardly ate breakfast."
Athrun smiled, "my treat?"
"Actually I think we should be heading back to the studio, we're going to be late."
"Ok then," Athrun sighed and put his fingers through his hair.
Cagalli smiled and her cell phone rang, she reached for her bag but Athrun took it.
"Hey!" she cried as she drove the car. Athrun smiled, "we're on the freeway, and the driver should concentrate on the road, let me get it."
Cagalli grunted, "ok,"
--Wow Kira's friend, I mean the bachelor is kinda proved his first impressions wrong...
Athrun replied the ringing cell, "Hello,"
It was Lacus and she was worried about Cagalli, "Hello Cagalli?"
"This isn't Cagalli, but she's on the freeway right now to the studio, I asked her to give me a ride..I'm the bachelor..and we're kinda late.."
"But where's Caga---"
Athrun turned off Cagalli's cell before Lacus could finish her sentence. Cagalli turned on the music it was 50 Cent, Candy Shop.
Athrun and Cagalli finally got to the studio and found Lacus at the door. Lacus headed straight for Cagalli.
"Oh Cagalli!" Lacus hugged her tightly, "I was so worried." Cagalli rubbed Lacus' back and smiled. "I'm here now, there's nothing to worry about." Lacus smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Since the bachelor wasn't here on time, the filming will start tomorrow."
Cagalli laughed, "well the bachelor is here now, he was my brother's room mate at the college dorms."
"Isn't that a coincidence," Lacus chuckled and shook Athrun's hand. "Nice to meet you sir."
Athrun smiled and kissed her hand, "Nice to meet you too,"
He's just being a gentleman...right?--Cagalli didn't seem to be enjoying this scene. Lacus pulled Cagalli and Athrun into the room and made them sit down.
"So Cagalli, how was your trip to Kira's?"
"It was great," muttered Cagalli, she lost interest in the whole day and got up from her seat. "May I be excused?"
"Of course," said Athrun, "but, aren't you hungry?" Cagalli blushed again as her stomach grumbled, this time even louder. Lacus let out a loud laugh and got her friend something to eat.
"This is so embarrassing," she blushed and sat back down. Athrun laughed, "I want to thank you again for bringing me here, although I didn't really want to come in the first place."
"No problem..." she muttered, "Lacus did you get anything for your dying friend?" Lacus smiled and handed Cagalli a plate of ham and rice. "Here you go Cagalli dear, eat it up before you actually die of starvation." All three of them laughed at the table. Cagalli started a new conversation trying to catch a breath. "So where are the other girls?"
"Well, umm, they went back to their rooms when they found out that the bachelor wasn't here." Cagalli and Lacus glared at Athrun like he was some kind of intruder. "ehe..sorry," Athrun pathetically apologized, and grinned.
Wow that smile..it actually makes him look…good, I mean, HOT, I mean..no Cagalli what are you thinking?
Athrun got up from his seat, "Well I guess I have to notify the secretary that I'm here?" Lacus and Cagalli nodded smiling.
"Well thanks ladies,"
"Whatever," Cagalli sighed as Athrun left their room and went to the office.
"He's pretty cute Cagalli, not to mention a real gentleman."
"Ya,ya.." Cagalli sighed and finished the last portions of her meal.
"Thanks Lacus, I'm gonna go watch t.v."
"Ok."
Athrun walked to the secretary counter, the place was huge, and he was surprised that he actually found his way. "Hi," he smiled and the secretary looked up. The secretary looked as if she was in her 30's and had fuzzy purple hair. "How can I help a young man like you?" she blushed and started flipping through her binder. She continued, "well if you are looking to be the bachelor--" Athrun stopped her and said, "I'm Athrun, Athrun Zala, the bachelor."
The secretary turned crimson red, "Oh, I'm sorry sir, I'll call the producer," She picked up the phone and pressed one of the buttons,
"Yes hello, Mr. Waltfield the bachelor is here."
"Really, well send him down to my office at once."
"Yes sir." the secretary hung up the phone and led Athrun to the producer's office. Athrun opened the door, a man was sitting in his desk reading a novel and smoking a cigar. "You wanted to see me sir?" The man put his novel down and smiled, "Come on in,"
Athrun made his way into the smoky smelling room. The only time he had been exposed to a cigar was at his father's work. He coughed his way to the seat.
"So, you're the bachelor...you were late," he frowned and had a look of curiosity on his face.
"I'm sorry sir," replied Athrun and looked around, "I didn't have a ride..."
"Oh well, it upset the girls pretty much, but I guess we'll have to start tomorrow." Mr. Waltfield replied and put down his cigar. "Here's the keys to your room,"
"Thank you sir," he smiled and went out of the office. He was on his way to his room, when he heard two voices coming from the room Kira's sister was in.
Cagalli…Lacus…
"Follow the stars that lead,
Into the quiet night..."
Wow they're a good duet pair...Then he remembered how Kira would talk about his sister's singing and the time she sent him a song.
Finally he found his room and opened the door. Athrun took a step inside and closed the door. "Wow," he sighed, "Not too shabby if I say so myself..." It was a pearl coloured room with a king-sized bed, a kitchen, a washroom and a plasma t.v!
He laughed and went to his room making himself comfortable.
"I'm finally here...and I'll be stuck here for a week... great,"
Meanwhile Lacus and Cagalli finished writing the theme song for the show...
Get ready for a brand new day,
You will find true love.
Come into our arms and and say,
Check out our personaliteahs...
O ya...
Give me your love and I'll be so true.
Choose me o hot one cause I'll be there for you.
No me! No me! NO me! Whatever!
Get ready for a brand new day,
You will find true love..
and with the script we say,
Watch For Love or For Money...
today!
Cagalli laughed, "That's such a cheesy theme song...it doesn't even match the show's actual meaning!" Lacus laughed along with her, "At least the end does!"
Finally their laughing came to an end. Cagalli grabbed the script on the counter and read it... she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw day 5.
Day 5 script:
Athrun makes out with Cagalli on their date and make others jealous...
Cagalli dropped her script and fainted on the chair... Lacus saw her friend faint and let Cagalli rest her head on her shoulders. I wonder what made her faint...
Lacus noticed that Cagalli was holding the script, she read it aloud, "Script for Day 5, Athrun makes out with Cagalli while others get... ATHRUN MAKES OUT WITH CAGALLI!"
a/n: Ok...it was rushed I agree, But I couldn't find a way to end this...If I kept going it would get dull. I'm sorry if I disappointed you guys...I feel so bad... Please..critisize me... Actually I kinda like the theme song..LOL!
