Chapter Five: How to Snag a Girl 101Athrun was formulating a plan as he walked absent-mindedly towards the cafeteria. He went through How to Snag a Girl 101 by Dearka in his mind, and a smile formed on his lips as he thought of the perfect plan…
With a bouquet of forty-nine roses in his right hand hidden behind his back, he held one rose in his left, and went in search of Cagalli. He saw her just entering the cafeteria, and went after her. Bursting through the double doors, he found her in the crowd and jogged to stand in front of her.
"Hey Cagalli, will you go to the prom with me?" he asked, holding out the single rose at the same time.
"What? Just with that one pathetic little rose? You must be kidding!" scorned Cagalli.
"Well, it's the thought that counts, right?"
"Nay. That's lacking sincerity if you ask me"
By that time, a small crowd has already gathered around them to see "the show". Anything to do with a guy and a girl were also very interesting and exciting. Be it wooing the girl, wooing the guy, going on dates, an argument, break up, etc., they all incite the interest of the student population of Archangel High. This was no exception. Those behind Athrun were smirking as they could see his "trump card".
"Ahhh…. But that's all I can afford…" said Athrun in a mock-sad tone.
"Ha! That's not enough to woo a girl!"
"How about this?" he asked, bringing out the other forty-nine roses to the surprise of Cagalli.
"Well… I …." Stammered Cagalli, lost for words for an instant. "Okay, fine! I will go to the prom with you."
"Yes! Woo-hoo!"
With that, Athrun went off in search of Kira and Dearka to break the good news to them.
-------------------------------------------------
"Well, that's swell, but how the hell should I go about wooing Lacus?"
"Well, dun worry, since I'm the expert, I will give you some tips. Here, take this How to Snag a Girl 101 booklet, written by me, and go read it. By the end of it you should have somewhat an idea."
"Gee, thanks, but does it really work?"
"Well, it worked for me. I managed to get Cagalli pretty easy"
"Well, okay, I'll go read it."
-------------------------------------------------
Back in Kira's Dormitory"Gee…. Okay…. How to Snag a Girl 101… hope it helps"
First point: Make the girl content, and to all she will consent! (A/N: This is the text of the booklet)
Kira rolled his eyes. "Goddesses, who the hell doesn't know that?"
Second point: Go get some presents, and the process will be pleasant!
"Okay…. That's somewhat slightly useful"
Third point: Desirable character traits, will help you get a date!"Hm…. Maybe I should be less arrogant"
Fourth point: Complement her hair and eye colour, and she might shed a tear!"So go for pink and black stuff?"
Fifth point: Get stuff for her interest, and that's the simplest!"Er… her interests? Hm… other than Mobile Suit battles… what else? Looks like I gotta go find out…."
-------------------------------------------------
So Kira set out to "spy" on Lacus to try and find out her interests. Dearka and Athrun were both "busy", so he was on his own. He sent birdy to follow her around during recesses and lunch break, even after school. He had installed a high transmission speed camera onto birdy, and could view all that the camera recorded on his laptop from up to a distance of 10km.
So, from a few days of surveillance, Kira found out a lot about Lacus. He found that she especially liked pink and black, which supported the Dearka's theory. She has pink dresses with some black in them, pink and black wristbands, etc. Even her everyday wear is usually pink and black. He also found that she was really very good at piloting Mobile Suits, since he saw her (through birdy) pwning 5 custom made Mobile Suits with only a ZAKU.
However, on the fifth day of surveillance, something happened.
Lacus noticed that a green robotic bird has been following her around for a few days. At first, she tried to ignore it, but gradually, curiousity got the better of her and she finally made an attempt to catch it down. With her fast reflexes, she managed to do so before birdy could fly away.
"Cool! A nice robotic pet! I loooove robotic pets! I would prefer a cuter one though…. Shame this pet doesn't have its owner's name on it, if not I can see if he or she can make one for me... Ah well…"
Kira immediately caught on it and recalled birdy. He wrote down a list of items that he should get Lacus.
A robotic pet
A Gundam Astray Gold Frame model
A nice pink top and black skirt
Right, with these three, I should be able to get her to go to the prom with me.
I hope, he added as an afterthought.
-------------------------------------------------
Kira started designing the robotic pet. He has already decided that it should be pink, and should be rather cute. After a few hours, he finally decided on a pink bouncy ball with little wings. With some nice, cute eyes and a mouth, it was indeed rather cute looking. He then began to do the hardware and programming, which is the hardest part. He programmed it to have a vocabulary 100 000 English words, and would be able to recognize, to a certain extent, human emotions. It was also programmed to try to make its owner as happy as possible.
He still couldn't think of a nice name for it though, so he built the Gundam Astray Gold Frame model next. With another few hours of hard work tinkering with his tools, he managed to build a rather nice model. He put it into a nice little box and wrapped in up with pink and black paper.
Next, he went shopping. Seeing as he knew nuts about girl fashion, he decided to grab a fashion magazine for girls first. Ignoring the many stares he was getting when he was buying the magazine, he coolly paid and walked out of the shop, gaining the admiration of some of the girls.
Sitting on his bed, he started flipping through the magazine. He glanced through them, and found some rather appealing, and quite a few were available in pink and black. He finally settled for a pink singlet with interlacing laces at the back and a multi-layered black skirt which ended at the knees. He tried picturing in his mind how Lacus would look in them and thought that she would be beautiful. He then set out with quite a lot of cash in his pocket and went off to buy the clothes for Lacus. He also bought a tuxedo for himself, choosing brown and blue to match his hair and eye colour.
When he went back to his dormitory, he turned on the pet for a test. It said "hello" almost immediately, but to Kira, after his tired day, it sounded rather like "haro", so he christened the pet such.
Finally, all was ready, and Kira was all prepared to try and get Lacus the very next day.
-------------------------------------------------
A/N: Not bad for a four days update, eh? Hehe….. this is rather much of a build up chapter, so not very interesting….. but don't worry, next chapter, as I told my classmate (TacoSauce), would have "lots of fun between Kira and Lacus", so watch out for it! Hehehe…. Oh well, as I have said, I will try to make it more funny.
BTW, since this is a M fanfiction, all of you should be comfortable with sexual scenes and such right, since you chose to read this. If you are not, please say so in your review, and if too many people are against it, then I'll scrap the idea.
Also, I would like to know all of your nationalities, so can you also write that in the review? Thanks! (I live in Singapore, this tiny little island somewhere in southeast asia)
Please help with the above requests, and the most important one, which is to review! Yea…. Once again, thanks for reading!
