"Well it begins…" Yzak started. As he started to talk the visions of the past came before him.
FLASHBACK
It all started about eight years ago in high school. It was our final year and it was going to be long. Everybody was there with us, from Meryin and her sister, all the way to my self, Dearka and even Heine.
"Wait, Heine was with you guys," Shiho interrupted.
"Yes, now shut up or I wont continue," Old Yzak warned.
"Sorry," Shiho answered.
Any way it was the in the middle of the school year when Dearka suddenly realized he had feelings for Miriallia. This was painfully obvious to everyone but those two.
"I mean look at her, she's a goddess," Dearka said sitting there starring at the roof.
"Your hopeless," Yzak replied, "Hell if I remember right she hates your guts,"
"He's right about that last part," Athrun stated.
"Shaddup Athrun, you wouldn't know if a girl liked you if she ran up and kissed you," Dearka replied back laughing. At this time Kira also started to laugh. It was completely true, Athrun never knew if a girl liked him, though girls like Meer Campbell had openly tried getting his attention.
"Shut up Kira your no better," Athrun said glaring at his friend. Kira instantly shut up at that comment. He like Athrun also had no idea if a girl liked him.
"It's painfully obvious that there is at least one girl for the both of you idiots," Yzak said looking at them.
"Oh ya, who would that be?" Athrun asked.
"ATHRUN!" a voice squealed.
'Oh no,' Athrun thought, 'that won't happen,'
Looking at his friends Athrun noticed his three friends had backed away and out harms way. "Guys, what are you doing?" Athrun questioned.
Sadly he had is questioned answered by the reason his friends had backed away. He was suddenly tackled to the ground by someone that looked just like Lacus but yet wasn't in so many ways.
"Athrun, there you are," Meer said giving Athrun a squeeze.
"Does that answer your question," Yzak said leaning over. Meanwhile the other two friends were laughing their asses off.
"KIRA!" another voice screamed.
At that moment the bell rang and Kira bolted to the room with a, "Gotta go," and he was gone.
"Thank God were not like that eh," Dearka calmly stated.
"Yes, but I bet you wish that was you," Yzak said with a laugh.
"Shut up," Dearka replied as he followed Yzak to class with a barely breathing Athrun following.
Meanwhile with the girls in class…
"God look at her, just flinging herself at Athrun like that," Cagalli said angrily.
"If I didn't know better I think someone's jealous," Lacus said looking at Cagalli.
"I am not jealous of her," Cagalli said glaring at the pink haired girl, "Besides I could've sworn I heard Fllay running after Kira,"
"What!" Lacus screamed. Both Cagalli and Lacus had crushes on the two young men. Lacus has had a crush on Kira since she was ten years old. Cagalli on the other hand was too stubborn to admit anything.
"And what are you two talking about?"
"Mir!" Cagalli screamed jumping.
"What were you two talking about?" Mir questioned again.
"Just talking about Kira and Athrun," Lacus answered.
"Lacus!" Cagalli screamed in shock, "Why did you tell her,"
"It's okay," Mir replied. The conversation was cut short when the bell rang.
First came Kira bursting in the door panting. "Hey girls," he said as he passed a peeved looking Cagalli, Mir, and a blushing Lacus.
Next through the door came both Yzak and Dearka, "Dearka, get through the damn door!" Yzak yelled.
"I'm trying," Dearka answered as he finally slipped through the door.
Finally Athrun came running trying to breath, "Just got away form…"
"Athrun!" Meer was heard screaming.
"Ah shit," Athrun said.
It was at the end of the class that Dearka was going to try asking Mir out. 'Ok, I can do this, it's not hard, I'm just asking out an extremely beautiful girl out,' Dearka thought, 'I'm never gonna be able to do this,'
Dearka was pacing the school's hallway constantly thinking of the many ways he was probably going to crash and burn. At that time Mir was walking down the hallway. 'Great it's that moron Dearka,' Mir thought.
"Hi Miriallia," Dearka said coming up beside Mir.
"Hi Dearka," Mir said with a sigh.
"How are you?" Dearka asked thought fully.
"What do you want Dearka?" Mir asked without answering his question.
"I…" Dearka spoke. He had no idea what he was going to answer with.
"Kira, Athrun, What are you two doing?" Lacus asked coming up behind the two.
Kira and Athrun both jumped at the question believing that they were in trouble. "We were, ah, oh man," Kira said trying to answer the question.
"I think they were spying," Cagalli said walking out from behind Lacus.
"Cagalli!" Athrun said jumping, "We were just watching Dearka finally asking Mir out,"
"Hey let me see," Cagalli said excitedly. She jumped onto Athrun's back and leaned over to see around the corner. She was so excited that she completely forgot who she had just jumped on, Athrun on the other hand knew all to well who it was she jumped on and was blushing madly.
"Here Lacus you can sit were I was," Kira said politely as he moved for Lacus.
"Thank you Kira," Lacus replied sweetly as she blushed and kneeled down.
"Shut up guys I think he's finally going to ask," Cagalli replied.
'Come on Dearka, just say it,' Dearka thought to himself. "I was just wondering if you would like to go on a date with me?" Dearka asked. He was sweating through the entire conversation.
"No thank you Dearka," Mir answered. She had wanted to say yes but the belief that Dearka was a player had traveled pretty far.
"What, why not?" Dearka asked.
"Because you date girls and then you dump them," Mir retorted.
"Where'd you here that?" Dearka questioned in complete disbelief.
"Girls have been saying all over the school,"
"Well, it's not true, sure I flirt with girls, but have you ever seen me with a girl,"
"No," Mir answered truthfully.
"Then go out with me please,"
"Fine," Mir answered, "But if you're a jerk I'm leaving,"
"Sure, anything you say,"
"When do you want to go out?"
"How about I pick you up Saturday at 6:00, there's a fair in town,"
"Fine," Mir agreed. She then walked out the door hoping that Dearka wasn't the player that she heard he was.
All Dearka could do was jump in the air and yell out, "YES!"
"Mr.Elsman, no screaming in the halls," the principal ordered.
"Sorry Mrs. La Flagga," Dearka said sighing. He then bolted out of the school and ran home thanking God that she said yes.
"Hey I have an idea," Cagalli said looking at her friends.
"What now?" Athrun asked looking at Cagalli.
"Why don't we all go to the fair and follow them," Cagalli answered.
"That's a good idea Cagalli," Lacus stated.
'Here's my chance to ask Lacus out,' Kira thought, "Umm Lacus?"
"Yes Kira,"
"Would you like to go to the fair with me?" Kira asked.
"Of course Kira," Lacus answered politely while thinking 'YES!'
"Guess I have to go with Athrun," Cagalli said trying to sound angry.
"Yes, I'll go with you Cagalli," Athrun said trying to hide his happiness.
"Great it's a date," Cagalli said happily forgetting she was trying to sound mad.
"Great it's a date," Athrun said happily.
'Damn it Cagalli,' She thought to herself, 'Why did I say it was a date,'
END FLASHBACK
"Hey why'd you stop?" Shiho asked.
"Cause it's late, and we both have to go to work tomorrow," Yzak answered.
"Fine but you have to tell me the rest tomorrow," Shiho said.
"What ever," Yzak said as he laid down beside his wife to sleep.His last coherent thought was that Shiho was snuggling close to him and whispered
"Good night love,"
"Good night," Yzak said before falling asleep.
