Once again, due to the effect from reading ZMGF's fanfict...I have yet again been unable to resist the urge to write chapter 14 of mua fanfict...so...enjoy!

Chapter 14

Cosmic Era 70..Young 16-year old Issabella Zala is sitting in the shuttle, on her way to meet her father, for the first time in weeks...she looked at Athrun, who was sitting next to her (on her left) and briefly remembered how clearly remembered that day Commander Cruz and Issabella were given that unusual chance to have this meeting with their father, their cruel father, their father who had cruelly ignored them for the past eleven months, only talking to them for political stuff...

Issabella still remembered...that day, Athrun had just come back from his battle and Miguel was just declared M.I.A..yes, their friend Miguel, that Miguel that they had always respected and honored was now killed..by the person Athrun and Issabella had least expected...Kira...their friend... then, suddenly, Commander Cruz summoned the two of them to the bridge and told them that they were to represent the team to briefly report the operation's main points to the 'Defense director' to let him know of the main issue before the official reporting later in the month (which will also be reported by them). So, excitedly, Issabella and Athrun hurriedly went to tell their teammates, who were equally excited by the news

"Wow! Issabella! Athrun! Congrats! You guys will be the first of us to present something to the whole of the Zaft executive council! I am so Happy for you!" said Nicole excitedly

"Me too you guys...of course I would have preferred it much better if I was the one going...but of course, I am still happy for you!" said Dearka with a grin on his face..

"Che! You guys better do a good job..Otherwise, I will kill you..Understood?"Said Yzak

At this, Issabella expected Rusty to say something funny and Miguel to tick him off, but all that replied her was an air of silence...Athrun, who seemed to be thinking the same thing, said" seems to a lot more quiet now without Rusty and Miguel now..." and although non of them replied, they all knew that in their hearts...how true that was...

"Issabella? Issabella? 'ello? Anyone there?" Issabella heard. Then she saw visions of a hand being swung in front of her

"Huh?" she said as she snapped back into reality

" I was asking...if you think we can get the chance to visit mother's memorial when we are back at plant...weren't you listening to me?" said Athrun in mock-irritation." you were thinking of Dearka and the others...weren't you...and rusty and Miguel too..."he continued...seemingly reading her mind

"How did you know?" said Issabella, shocked

"Your eyes were teary...and you were playing with your bracelet. You know that you always play with your bracelet when you are thinking about the past..and you DO know the fact that I know you better that you know yourself right…" said Athrun matter-of-fact-ly

He lifted Issabella's left arm and looked at the bracelet on her wrist..."you are still wearing this around I see...looks like you still miss mother...right?"

"Well, I m not the only one" said Issabella as she pulled out a ring with a red stone on it from Athrun's side pocket and looked at Athrun, grinning.

"Humph...looks like we all miss oka-san after all..."

"and who was it who was complaining that time oka-san gave him a ring...who was it who said that he was a big boy then and that big boys did not carry rings around in their pockets!"laughed Issabella

"hey! what did you expect for me to say! It was a ring!" exclaimed Athrun as he joined in in the laughter..and for the rest of the trip, the siblings then spent their time remembering their friends and families and how great life was in the past...

End of Chapter 14
