Chapter 1

It was 6 months after the bloody valentine incident happened... and young Issabella was still having trouble having to cope with her mother's death. Although her brother did not say it..she knew that in her heart that Athrun's grief would not be lesser than her's...their father too was not doing too well too...burying himself in work everyday after another. Both Athrun and Issabella did not hear from him untill that very day... Sigel Clyne, then the head of Zaft called Issabella to his office...it was there, Issabella finally got the chance to see her father. After 6 months...

"I hope you are doing well Issabella". Said Sigel Clyne" i must say, Patrick. if you have the time, pay more attention to your kids...they are going through as much pain as you are... any way...back to the subject, Issabella..i see great potiential in you so i have decided to gie you the post of the representative of Zaft to orb...however...to get this post you will have to go to orb and go have a talk with the representative there about the contents in this file...then i will see your performance"

"yes sir" saluted Issabella.

The moment Issabella steped out of the office. She was greeted by her "anxious" team members- Athrun, Yzak, Dearka, Nicole, Rusty and Miguel...

" What did the chairman say to you Issabella?" Said Nicole

"Relax Nicole...I doubt any thing is going to happen to Issabella...after all, she is Patrick Zala's brilliant daughter...the worst thing that can happen to her is not being able to get promoted!" Said Yzak

" Yzak! Keep Quiet! lets hear what Issabella has to say first before we make any empty guesses"said Dearka in his usual cool manner.

" Yeah...waht happened Issabella?" Asked a concerned Athrun...finally getting a chance to speak to his sister.

"The chairman...wants...wants me to be the representative for Zaft...to orb..." Stuttered Issabella...still dumb-founded...

"See!I told you that nothing will go bad with Issabell!" Yelled Yzak

"so, when is your first assignment Issabella? Or should i say, Representative Zala?" joked Athrun with a smile on his face.

"Athrun! Don't call me that! Don't anyone of you call me that! i am still the same Issabella...only i won't be with all you as often..." blushed Issabella..
"and i will be leaving for orb in two day's time...my first test to officially name me as representative..."
