A/N: Again, I am angry. ((sighs)) Don't you all just hate it when someone reads all the reviews of a story, then talks about those reviews they had read? I just happened to read a very interesting story, one that I enjoyed very much, but the author hadn't described a certain character. Being me, I asked her if she could describe her character (looks) and she sent me an e-mail with the pictures. Now, I was looking at some of the reviews, because I was curious (I had already reviewed) and I came upon someone saying that if they wanted a picture, they just had to go to Google and type in the name. Thus, they called me stupid and incapable, and I desperately wanted to strangle them. Needless to say, I had already done that, and if you type 'Shiho Hahnenfuss' into Google, you'd be surprised that pictures of Shinn and Dearka and Yzak come up, not Shiho. So, please, if you read peoples reviews, refrain from calling what they say 'stupid' or anything else. It just brings people away from the story.

Now that I have finished my ranting (I feel better) I shall tell you all about this chapter. Now, this is the last 'Chapter Chapter'. I mean to say; there is an epilogue coming up soon! (I just have to type it.) Now, in this chapter, there is a lot of focus on Meer Campbell, and Athrun's proposition. Some people may be shocked, other's a little happy, and still other's wondering what the hell is going to happen. Remember, the ending of this chapter is not the ending of my story. Now, Read on readers!

Chapter 11
No More Pain

Meer sat in front of her mirror, humming to herself and brushing her pink locks. She was finally going to get him! Finally! She couldn't wait to see him at the conference, at the look on his face when they asked about her engagement to him.

Still humming, she stood up and smoothed out her outfit. She was due at the conference hall any minute now and she stepped out, smiling.

Athrun was already on the podium, eyes grim as they settled on Meer.

"Athrun, darling!" she said, rushing up to him. She had made sure to wear waterproof makeup, as she was going to have to start crying to make it dramatic. "What is this all about you being with another woman?"

Athrun's grin turned her blood to ice. He watched her with amused eyes and turned to the room full of reporters.

"You Excellency, what do you have to say about your recent engagement to Meer Campbell?"

"Chairman Zala, what is this about you dating a mysterious blonde that looks familiar to that of Cagalli Yula Attha?"

"Your Excellency, how do you feel knowing that you have been unfaithful to your soon-to-be wife?"

Athrun continued to smirk, eyes glittering with mirth. Meer felt her eyebrow twitch; she wanted to slap that smile of his face, but he just turned to her and said softly, "Payback."

"Calm down, calm down, one question at a time," said Athrun, grinning. Immediately the room fell silent and Athrun noted Dearka, standing near the side with one hand clamped around Cagalli's arm. He raised an eyebrow at her appearance: his grey sweats, and a loose-fitting, small green shirt. She glanced around, not sure why she was here. She even held a bowl of popcorn!

"I have some news to announce, yet first I shall answer a question that has been probing your minds for some time now," said Athrun calmly. He then glanced at Cagalli.

"It its true that I have been seen with a particular blonde. It is also true that she is the spitten image of Orb's head representative, Cagalli Yula Attha," Athrun smiled. "What isn't true is that Meer is my so called fiancé."

The crowd of reporters gasped and Meer blinked. She hadn't expected that – well, she had, but she had thought he would be more…well, dragged out? She just stared at him. He still had that god-awful smirk on his face! Why?

"To tell you the truth, my actual soon-to-be wife is in this very room, yet I will not tell you who she is, or what she looks like. Tomorrow, however, I may just tell you all," Athrun winked, and turned to Meer, who was blinded by tears.

"You would do anything to stay single wouldn't you?" she hissed.

"What? Oh no, I'm no longer single. Haven't been for the past two and a half weeks. Have you not been keeping up with today's current events?" asked Athrun, still smirking.

"Your just cruel. You wouldn't even care if I was killed, would you?" she screamed, and turned on her heel.

Now, he hadn't expected that. He had expected her to have a tantrum, but that was it. Not scream at the top of her lungs that he was cruel. Frowning, Athrun turned back to the room full of reporters. Seeking out Cagalli, he noted her wide eyes. He let out a small laugh as he saw her reach down, and pick up a handful of popcorn. Plopping it in her mouth, she offered some to Dearka and continued to stare at Athrun.

"I'm sorry, but that is all I can tell you today. But what I can tell you is that the video that has been circling…well I shall tell you more about it tomorrow! Good day!" he said, and turned on his heel, back into the building and to his office.

------------------------------

Lunamaria was sitting at her desk, chatting with her sister, Meyrin, when she saw Athrun walk by. He was grinning and was soon followed by Dearka and the fidgeting blonde she had seen yesterday. For some unknown reason, on which Luna couldn't fathom, the blonde was carrying a bowl of popcorn!

Sighing, she smiled at Athrun, but he ignored her and walked into his office. The blonde stopped in front of him, and, right in front of Meyrin and Luna, shoved some popcorn into his mouth.

"I made it so I could watch the stupid press conference and make fun of you by taping it, but then you had to go and get Dearka to pick me up!" she snapped and stormed into the office. Athrun gagged and coughed, but managed to swallow the popcorn. A grin once more appeared on his lips. Closing the door, Luna sighed and turned back to her sister.

"They're in love," said Meyrin simply, playing with a long strand of red hair. She looked up at her sisters' shocked face and shrugged. "It's obvious! Jeez, don't say you haven't noticed? He didn't even yell at her when she shoved the popcorn in his mouth! If that ain't love, than I don't know what is."

--------------------------------

Athrun sat on the edge of his desk, munching absently on the popcorn Cagalli still had in her arms. She, too, was eating the popcorn, but she seemed more absent minded about it.

"So…why did Meer yell at you again?"

"She said I was being cruel and that I wouldn't care if she were killed," muttered Athrun. He was watching the door, wondering if Luna was once again taping his conversation.

"She's odd, I have to say. Don't much like her; never did really. Hated her when I first saw her; clinging to you like you were a damn lifeboat. Pissed me off, to say the least. Anyway, what are you going to tell the press tomorrow?"

Athrun was quite shocked that Cagalli seemed so…well, happy. She was practically glowing, her grin almost like that of a small child finding a long lost toy.

Athrun sighed and then he heard a small beep beside him. Pressing the button, he asked irritatingly, "What is it?"

"Commander Joule has requested an audience with you, Your Excellency. Would you like to see him?" asked Luna timidly.

"Yes, yes, send him in," sighed Athrun, taking his finger off the button.

The door seemed to slam open and Yzak walked in, an aura of pure anger radiating off him. Athrun noticed Cagalli's smile turn to a frown.

"Well, well, what have we here? Another Mr. Grump head?" asked Cagalli casually.

"Shut up, stupid Natural," barked Yzak.

Yzak didn't see it coming, nor did Athrun or Dearka for that matter. One minute the petite blonde was a few feet away from him, next she was in front of him, death glare on her face and bowl of popcorn discarded.

"What did you say?" she asked through clenched teeth.

"I said 'Shut up, stupid Natural'," repeated Yzak. He rolled his eyes as if to say 'What else did I expect?' and glared at her.

"You, asshole!" screamed Cagalli and before Yzak had time to react, she had slammed him in the gut, kicked him in the face and had promptly dropped him on his butt with a swift kick to the knees. She then nodded at him, as if in satisfaction and walked back over to her bowl of popcorn – which she had placed carefully on the ground – and sat down in Athrun's chair.

Athrun and Dearka were howling with laughter, tears streaming down their faces.

"Dude! You got whooped but not only a Natural, but also a-a girl!" howled Dearka, wiping the tears from his eyes. Athrun clutched his stomach, the laughter too much for him. Cagalli just shrugged, but she couldn't hide the grin that twitched at her lips.

Yzak stood, shaking, glowering at the blonde haired woman behind Athrun. Damn, could she punch. He rubbed his abdomen and then looked around for a mirror. Finding one, he stumbled over to it and looked in the mirror.

She had just missed his nose, landing the blow just below his left eye. He winced as he saw the purplish-blue bruise forming and touched it gingerly. He then turned, his glare back fully intact and his lips a thin line. Keeping his hands at his side – away from the pain that throbbed near his stomach – he glowered at Athrun.

"Sorry, Yzak, but that was funny," said Athrun, still restraining himself from laughing. He let out a muffled chuckle and then smiled apologetically at him.

"Why did you want me here?" he snapped, still angry.

"Tsk, tsk, if you keep up that attitude, I just might sic Cagalli on you," smiled Athrun. He then felt a throbbing pain in his shoulder and saw a glowering Cagalli staring up at him.

"Sorry. Anyway, I called you here because I need you to keep an eye on Cagalli. She has a knack for trouble and, well, see for yourself," Athrun pulled out the letter he had stashed in his pocket. Handing it to Yzak, he watched his face with cold eyes.

After coming into his office, he had found the letter on his desk. It read, "Urgent", in bold letters, so he had immediately opened it. It had concerned Cagalli, saying they knew that she was still here and that he hadn't cooperated. Being the Chairman of the PLANTs didn't help his cover; he knew Cagalli was once again in danger. After reading the letter, he had had to go to the conference, but it had never slipped his mind. The letter stated that Cagalli was to die soon, because of Athrun's lack of cooperation. He couldn't risk it, not when he was about to announce the biggest thing in his life tomorrow.

"Keep her safe until after tomorrow's conference. Don't let her out of your sight, understood?" stated Athrun after Yzak was done.

Even though Yzak had a short temper that blew like dynamite when provoked, he still knew when someone needed to be protected and he didn't hesitate to agree to Athrun's demands. Having once felt the need to protect someone dear to him, he quickly walked Cagalli outside. And with that, began his duties as bodyguard.

--------------------------------------

"Go away," said Cagalli, her words muffled by the pillow she had wrapped around her head. Yzak sighed, and poked her again, hoping to at least get her out of bed before the conference began.

"Get up!" roared Yzak and watched with grim amusement as Cagalli screamed, flopped out of bed and landed at his feet.

"Insolent asshole," she grumbled as she stood. She glowered at him and shooed him out of the room. She glanced at the clock and screamed in horror; it was five minutes to the conference!

"I'm never going to make it in time!" she moaned, digging through her clothing. Deciding on black cargo pants and a loose fitting red shirt, she rushed out of the door – slamming Yzak's nose on it, in the process – and was out the door before Yzak had time to react.

"Come on, come on, come on!" she screamed. He followed after her, muttering foul words under his breath and slipped into the car. She shifted it into gear and was roaring down the highway before Yzak even had his seat belt on.

"I'm beginning to re-think my decision," muttered Yzak. The wench had been horrible, absolutely horrible! She had tried to throttle him at least three times, proceeded to calling him names, and then kicked him in the gut when he had accidentally walked into her room to check for any hidden cameras. She had screamed 'Pervert!' over and over until Athrun came home, where she told him some bull of a story about how Yzak was peaking at her. He wanted to strangle her right now, for she had purposefully slammed the door on his already bruised nose.

Growling, he stepped out of the car – they had made it to the conference hall in record time – and opened Cagalli's door for her. Checking around, he wasn't surprised to find no one lurking in the bushes. He thought Zala was overreacting.

That was when he heard it. A rustle in the trees to his left, the sound of the safety clicking off, and he only had a second to react. Throwing Cagalli to the ground, he landed on top of her as the shot fired above them, zipping through the spot where Cagalli's heart would have been. He rose from the ground, gun cocked and ready, and shot with blind accuracy, killing the assassin dead.

"Damn it," snarled Yzak as he kicked the dead man. He had short black hair and beady eyes, hardly someone who would be recognized. Yzak looked around and then hurried to Cagalli's side, asking if she was hurt.

"I'm fine…" she looked up at him, and her lips twisted. "Thanks."

Yzak was taken aback, but he nodded, before pulling her to her feet and proceeding to the hall. Guards had rushed out and he directed them to the dead man. They nodded and left.

Once inside the hall, Yzak pushed her to the front, where he knew Athrun would call on her. He had been updated on the proceedings, along with Dearka, and knew what his chairman was planning. Personally, he thought him a fool, but he knew the look in his eyes all to well. Sighing, he positioned himself to the right of Cagalli, on the other side of the wall.

Athrun stepped forward, just as the clock chimed one o'clock. He smiled down at the reporters and sought out Cagalli. She was glaring at Yzak, but her eyes softened when she saw him. This was going to be fun.

"I'm terribly sorry you all had to come to a second conference, but I didn't know how to proceed with the last one. I know the news I had proclaimed yesterday caught many off guard, but today you will learn of my true intentions." He glanced at Cagalli and saw her eyebrow twitch. Fun in deed.

"As you are all aware, I have been away on business, and have personally gotten involved in something I had thought never would happen. Thus, I must ask for Commander Yzak Joule to step forward."

Yzak raised an eyebrow; Cagalli was supposed to be called forward, not him. What was Zala thinking?

"As you may all know, I have been Chairman of the PLANTs for three years now, and many have disliked me for my cold air. However, I have changed drastically since then, yet I find I have become…soft. I have decided to appoint someone new, someone with a desire to rule and an interesting counselling lineage." Athrun grinned at Yzak's shocked face. "As soon as I am done this conference, Yzak Joule will be your new Chairman."

The whole room was silent, except for the slight cough of Cagalli. She glanced around and was mildly surprised to see so many women with tears in their eyes. Did they care that much that Athrun was leaving?

Athrun smiled as Yzak's face turned from shock to pure horror. He then turned back to the press.

"Now, before you all start calling Commander Joule here, Your Excellency, I would like to tell you all why I am stepping down." One of the men coughed and put his pent o paper. Many others did so as well. A few reporters snapped out of their dazed state and gazed at the Chairman. "I will be stepping down because I plan to live with my new wife down on Earth."

The room erupted in confusion and Athrun winced. He hadn't expected that much noise. Athrun pointed his head in Cagalli's direction and Yzak grabbed her arm, pulling her up on the platform.

"Your Excellency! Who is the woman to be your wife if not Meer Campbell?" asked one man. Athrun sighed. He then glanced at Cagalli and saw the shock on her face. Turning to her, he walked slowly over to her.

The minute he knelt Cagalli felt her mind reel. He wasn't…he couldn't be…they had only known each other for not even a month! Why…? And then he said it, the words that had echoed in her mind for the last three days.

"Cagalli Yula Attha, will you do me the honour of being my wife and marrying me?"

Cagalli gaped, her eyes wide. He even held out a ring! It was of beautiful gold, intertwined with silver and red. A small ruby and diamond line was across the top. It was beautiful.

"Again, Fate must have brought this upon us because I would never be saying this if I didn't feel what I do. Yes, Athrun Zala, I will marry you."

The crowd once again erupted in cries, mainly for Athrun to kiss her. And so he did.

Yzak was still confused; he knew Zala was to propose to the girl, but why hadn't he told him he was to be the new Chairman? This was all too damn confusing.

After they couple pulled apart, he slid the ring on her finger and walked back to the podium, hand locked in hers. She was blushing as pictures flashed, cameras clicked, and tapes rolled.

"This is my wife to be. Cagalli Yula Attha. Now, talk to your new Chairman, for I have a lot to accommodate for!"

And then they left; leaving a poor Yzak to answer the questions he didn't even know how to figure out.

-----------------------------

"You…! My sister…! Wha…?" stuttered Kira, his eyes wide, as Athrun and Cagalli explained what had happened. He felt faint once more – he had a feeling that would happen a lot now – and just stared at the ring that adorned his sisters' hand.

Athrun laughed and pulled Kira – and Lacus – inside, where he sat down on the couch. Still grinning, he told the story once more.

"You left Yzak up on the podium? Poor guy, he didn't know what hit him," laughed Kira as Athrun finished.

Just as Athrun opened his mouth to respond, the phone rang. Smiling, he stood and walked over to it, but his smile soon faded and was replaced by a look of rage and terror. For on the other end of the telephone, he could hear a scream – a familiar scream. He quickly put it on speakerphone and the voice filled the room with a chilly feeling.

"You almost screwed up our plans with your little stunt today, Chairman Zala. I didn't much like it," said a grainy voice on the other end. "I want the representative or I'll kill of this young woman. What was her name again? Oh yes, Meer…"

"Athrun! Oh please, don't let them kill me!" came Meer's frantic call. Athrun winced; she sounded so frightened.

Cagalli grimaced as well, her mouth turning to dust. She could see Athrun's mind racing as he tried to contemplate how he could figure out what to do. How he could save Meer, but keep his future wife from harm. Oh damn.

Cagalli shuddered as the man rambled off the time and place of the exchange. She saw Athrun's face pale and he shook his head, over and over, mouthing no, but no words escaped his lips.

"I expect her to be alone, Athrun. You call the police, and I'll kill her." Then the phone went dead.

-------------------------------

Cagalli lay awake in bed, her eyes glowing in the rising full moon. Athrun had been worried all night, trying to form a plan to rescue Meer and keep Cagalli from harm. She couldn't bear it anymore. Someone was going to die because of her.

Sliding out from under Athrun's arm, she pulled on some clothing – her cargo pants and a loose red sweater – and opened the window. She looked back at him, at his sleeping face, and whispered a soft good-bye and 'I love you'. Then, she jumped out the window.

Landing softly on the ground below, she made her way to Athrun's garage. She knew he had all sorts of cars; he had shown them off to her. She opened the garage door – wincing at the noise it caused – and picked the closest car to her. Jumping in, she revved up the engine and was backing out the driveway when she saw the bedroom lights go on.

Athrun's head shot up when he heard his garage being opened. He felt the cool breeze and shivered when his hands touched the empty space beside the bed. No! He thought in horror as he jumped out of bed. He looked down into the driveway, and sure enough, he saw Cagalli, window down and eyes drawn to his. He immediately understood her look: don't-follow-me-because-I-need-to-do-this. He pulled on his pants and shirt and picked up his cell phone. Racing down the stairs, he grabbed his car keys and rushed outside.

Revving up his engine, he raced down the street, keeping an eye out for the silver Mercedes that Cagalli had taken. He noted it a few feet in front of him, but something seemed wrong. Then he realized it; it was in the middle of the intersection.

A speeding car from the side slammed into the drivers' side, sending the car careening to the side. Athrun watched in horror as the car crumpled and felt his heart shatter. No…it was just like his dream! Cagalli…she couldn't be dead…

Athrun jumped out of his car, racing past the throng of people that were gathered around the mess. A drunk stepped out of his truck, eyeing the crushed little car, and said, in a hiccupping voice, "I ain't t-taking the b-blame for that."

Athrun had him on the ground and was slamming his fist into his face before he knew what was happening. His fury had blasted past reason, driving forth to protect him from the grief that his heart brought. It took four people to peel him off the man, but the man wasn't in serious condition, just bloodied and battered.

Athrun stalked over to the car, fury blinding him and searched inside it, hoping to see his love all right and smiling. But he found nothing. Not even a single blonde hair. He frowned.

Unbeknownst to him, the petite blonde watched from the sidewalk, eyes drawn to the car. She smiled softly, eyes watering as she turned, towards the destination that Meer was to be held, and traded for. She had no choice. None. Whispering a soft farewell, she disappeared into the bushes.

Athrun knew something was wrong; Cagalli should have been in the car. Why wasn't she in the car? Then it struck him. She had fled, making it seem like she had died…so Athrun wouldn't chase after her! He whirled, eyes searching the sidewalk, and sure enough, he saw the wisp of blonde hair as it disappeared into the trees. As he raced after her, he noted it was five to midnight, the time he was supposed to trade off Cagalli.

---------------------

Shinn watched from the shadows as the pink haired woman was stationed beside the man he had worked for. Leon was smirking; the bastard, and the pink haired princess had a frown on her face. She looked somewhat familiar…

Just then, a blonde head peered out form the opposite side of the park and Shinn felt his breath catch in his throat. He had tried to save her; hell, he had let her go back to Earth where he hoped she stayed!

Cagalli stepped lightly, seeing the man with orange hair and the woman with pink hair. She knew the one, but the other seemed familiar. She moved forward, hand straying to the belt of her pants. She didn't like surprises.

"Miss Attha," said the man with orange hair. He grinned at her. "I am known as Leon – now, before you ask why I am telling you, it is because I want you to know the name of your killer."

Just as Cagalli opened her mouth to retort, the bushes behind her rustled. She stiffened and turned her gaze to it and felt horror seize up her throat when emerald met gold.

Athrun stepped out from the trees, regarding Meer and the orange haired man – Leon – as he walked over to Cagalli.

Shinn wanted desperately to step out; he needed to hear this conversation! If his assumptions were correct, then there would be three deaths tonight…

Leon stepped forward, dragging Meer with him. He pushed her in front of him and smirked.

"Here she is, Chairman. Now hand over the blonde," smirked Leon, holding out his hand.

"Tsk, tsk, Leon, you forget your place. I have grown tired of you, and your usefulness is used up. I have no need for you anymore. I can kill her on my own," snapped Meer, whirling and bringing out her gun. She fired in one fluid motion, striking Leon between the eyes, and grinned as he fell to the ground. Lightning crashed above.

Shinn then stepped out, gun cocked and ready as he stared at Meer. She just ignored him and turned back to Athrun and Cagalli. She then smiled softly.

"Cagalli! Athrun! Get away from her!" shouted Shinn, rushing forward. He knew what was going to happen.

Meer pulled the trigger and Athrun threw Cagalli to the side. The bullet whizzed by the two of them, barely missing Athrun. Cagalli rolled to the ground and then to her feet, facing Meer with a death glare on her face and a hand on the back of her pants, where her gun was stored.

Cagalli turned to her, eyes wide. "What the hell are you doing, Meer? You stupid clone!"

"You think it's easy being a Lacus clone? You think it's easy being told how to act, how to feel? All I ever wanted was one thing that would actually make my life worth living! That was you, Athrun, but you ignored me! You ignored me for a Natural!"

Meer raised the gun and pointed it, shaking, at Cagalli. She froze, eyes going wide. Shinn cast a glance at the two and quickly pointed his gun, keeping the aim tight on Meer. Athrun stepped between them all.

"Stop this, please! All I wanted was to live with someone I love! Is that so much to ask for?"

"It is when it isn't me!" screamed Meer, eyes streaming with tears.

"You were the bitch that killed Stellar. You were the one that told Yuuna to marry Cagalli. You set us all up!" shouted Shinn suddenly, eyes narrowed with rage. Thunder rumbled and the rain came down, dampening the ground with its beauty. Shinn was shaking, his eyes raging with emotions he couldn't control.

Meer let out a soft chuckle, which turned slowly into an all out laugh. She wiped her rain sodden hair from her eyes and glowered at Cagalli.

"I wanted her dead. I wanted her to feel the pain I felt whenever I saw her with Athrun, whenever I saw her touch his shoulder, or his hand. Yes, I feel pain even though I am told not to. You all think I'm perfect?" Meer lifted the gun again, pointing past Athrun to Cagalli. "I would never harm you, Athrun, but I always get what I want, I always win. So I told that fool Yuuna that he could have the Natural bitch. He ate it up like that! He even hired men to carry out my plan. I did this all for you, Athrun. For the love of you!"

"You have no idea what you have done, Meer," hissed Cagalli, pushing Athrun away. "You tried to make Yuuna marry me; yet did you not think that I was beaten? You killed this Stellar woman so Shinn would try and kill us; yet you did not think he was heartbroken? You say you always get what you want, that you always win, but will you win if all those around you hate you? Athrun will hate you too," Meer's eyes widened. Cagalli grinned slightly and continued, voice savage, "Oh yes, he'll hate you because you will have killed me. He will no longer have the heart to love, or the soul to love. Did you not hear? We are to be married! Yet you still think you can win."

Cagalli laughed softly as she played with the ring on her left hand, signalling her new status to Athrun. Her eyes did not narrow, nor did they show remorse. Yet they showed disgust, and pity, as they stared into Meer's.

"You think you can win. You'll never win. Not as long as my heart belongs to Athrun, and his belongs to me," stated Cagalli, eyes cold.

"No!" Meer screamed.

A trigger was pulled.

Lightning flashed.

Cagalli stood stunned as Meer's eyes widened.

Shinn held the gun at eye level, eyes burning with tears and rage.

Athrun gaped at the two and then both Cagalli and Meer fell to the ground.

Meer dropped the gun and put her hands to her chest, where blood began to seep into the white exterior of her clothing. She opened her mouth, eyes slowly glazing, then fell forward.

Cagalli looked down at her stomach, where Meer's bullet had gone through. She held the wound tightly; looking up at Athrun as he knelt, mud splashing around him. He pulled her to his arms and whispered her name, over and over, frantic as his eyes searched her slowly clouding ones. She smiled and touched his face softly, relishing the last few moments she had left.

"Got her," whispered Cagalli and let the darkness take her.

To Be Continued...
Next Update:
09/09/05

A/N: This is not the end. I repeat, THIS IS NOT THE END. I still have the epilogue, which I have taken the liberty of typing up in five minutes. Now, I thought this chapter was a little rushed. Just need to hear your opinions. If you thought it rushed, a little hectic, I will re-write it and everything.

Okay, I cannot give you all a preview, because, needless to say, it would ruin the surprise. But I do need to ask you all some questions!

I have come up with the title of the sequel. It is called 'Time's Given Stream' (opinions please!)

I was hoping that in your reviews, everyone would come up with a cool name for a Gundam. I need to make a new one for my newest character. Please, send in your ideas!

Would you like my next fic (the sequel) to be R/M rated, or T/PG-13 rated? Opinions, opinions!

My last question! How many chapters would you like to see the sequel have? So far, I have about 18 chapters planned. If you want more, however, I will have to make the chapters shorter.

Now! Review with the answers to my questions and I will work on the sequel and school! ((watches in horror as brother burns homework)) Ack! Adios!
