Thank you minna-san for all your reviews! So sorry for the late update…had a stupid math exam and lots of homework and assignments…and a writer's block… On with the chapter! Little OOC here too…

Recap: Chapter 1

He surveyed the hot springs, checking for any signs of danger and turned back to Cagalli and Lacus. "Whew. Thought some molester came in and attacked…" He paused, and his face burned.

"Oi, what's wrong?" Cagalli asked, her eyes narrowed. Then, it struck her. She looked down at herself and at Lacus. Her eyes widen and twitched as she stared back at Kira. Lacus stood there humming to herself, apparently not realizing at what they were momentarily stunned at.

"HENTAI!" a furious Cagalli punched Kira, who soared right through the wall of the hot springs and chased after him, her eyes and face red with embarrassment and rage.

Chapter 2: Morning Rush

He loved his sister. He really loved her. A twin, a sister, and a friend. All of the above. However, sometimes, he would wonder, 'Why, oh why, am I related her?' Living with a sister that is entirely the opposite of you is understandable. Sometimes, she would abuse that privilege.

Kira lay in bed with his girlfriend, who was currently dreaming. Happy dreams, happily sleeping. He however, was unhappily awake, and unhappily staring at the ceiling. The cause? His next room neighbor. Or sister, if the snoring princess could be called his twin. Too bad he couldn't sleep. TOO BAD.

Sunlight crept through the window blinds, as birds cheerfully chirped outside. Something that could almost outmatch Cagalli in a noise faction, would none other than her beloved clock. Or her 24th clock. It should be ringing right about…now…then obliterated…

BEEEEPPPP BEEEEPP BEEEEPPPP BEEEEPP BEEEEPPP….BAM!

"DAM CLOCK! SHUT UP! IM TRYING TO SLEEP!"

Kira sighed and got out of bed, put on a pair of pants, and strolled over to the washroom. Lacus lay on the bed, apparently not fazed by the screams of destruction in the other room.

A disgruntled Cagalli stomped in the room, with her blond hair sticking in all directions. She dragged herself onto her twin's bed, pulled the covers over her and fell asleep right next to Lacus.

"Lacus, wake up… He's coming soon. We have to get ready and I have remind Cagalli that she has an appointment with Dr. Nicol." Kira said as he exited the bathroom. Spotting the lump in the bed, he walked over and nudged it gently.

"Lacus…"

A loud snore emitted from the large, breathing lump. 'Snoring?' Kira sweatdropped, staring at the thing in his bed and poked it several times. Suddenly, a blond head flew from under the covers and Kira screamed (like a girl) and fell over.

Cagalli stared groggily at the brown-haired boy on the floor. Lacus appeared over her shoulder and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

"Kira? Did I kick you off the bed again?" she asked, tilting her head. Cagalli snorted with laughter as the dumbfounded ex-pilot stuttered incoherently about giant flying lemons until Lacus pecked him on the cheek.

His face turned instantly red and he shrunk underneath the bed, murmuring gibberish that only he understood. The two females laughed at his silly reaction and went downstairs to the kitchen, leaving a blushing Kira crawled under the bed.

By the time the Freedom pilot had regained his sanity and composure and entered the kitchen, his sister and girlfriend were drinking coffee and watching the news channel. Lacus turned around and smiled as Kira walked in.

Cagalli noticed he had walked in, but did not turn around to greet him. Instead, she said, "Lacus, don't kiss him just yet. He might have not recovered from the one earlier. He might hide in the dishwasher if we're not careful."

Kira blushed scarlet as both Lacus and Cagalli laughed.

"Oh by the way, Cagalli…Cagalli….c'mon listen to me…You can stop laughing for just a second…any time now…You have an appointment with Dr. Nicol in 10 minutes."

The princess stopped laughing. She froze, her coffee swished to a stop and even the television stopped a few seconds before resuming.

Lacus looked at her watch. "Actually, you have 8 minutes left."

Cagalli dropped her mug, where instead of shattering into a million pieces on the floor, slammed into a passer-by Haro that was flying too low and unluckily knocked unconscious by a coffee cup.

She sprinted upstairs and returned 5 seconds later, fully dressed and sent a glare towards her twin's direction. It clearly read, "I will kill you later…" and she was gone before she had heard Lacus say something about storm later on.

Kira sighed and his girlfriend tapped a finger against her chin. "I hope she heard me…"

'KIRA IS SO GETTING KILLED LATER. MAKE NO MISTAKE. HE WILL DIE.' Cagalli thought furiously as she ran towards her car. Fumbling with the keys, she dropped them on the ground. As she bent to pick them up, a black Lamborghini drove onto the street.

She glanced at the car, thinking it was going to go ahead and park in the driveway, but it waited there. 'Wow. The driver's actually waiting for me to pull out. That driver sure is smart.'

Getting in the car, she drove away, and looked back at the Lambo, wondering who was the early visitor.

Ding Dong!

The pink-haired princess walked over to the door which had just closed a minute ago.'Must be Cagalli. Getting an umbrella I guess…'

She opened the door and instead of a panting blonde-haired teen, was a tall, handsome, blue-haired boy standing there. Lacus tilted her head lightly upwards, to see his face. He appeared to be wearing dark sunglasses, and his blue hair blew with the wind.

He took off the glasses, revealing emerald-green eyes. "Miss me?" he grinned.

"Asuran!" Lacus yelled, and hugged him. Asuran laughed and returned the hug, just as Kira walked in.

"Good to see you again, Asuran." Kira smiled and they both embraced, like brothers. The three walked into the kitchen, and sat down on the couch.

"My sister is out at the moment. She'll be back later." Kira said.

"That would explain the car reversing out of the driveway. I think she broke a reversing speed record." They all laughed and continued chatting.

Asuran noticed that Kira was sitting closer to Lacus and decided to press the topic. "So you two are an item now, hm?"

Both flushed, their faces red as he smirked. "So, when can I expect a wedding?"

At this, Kira's eyes bulged out, and Lacus began to cough violently. "NANI!" they both screamed at the amused blue-haired boy in front of them.

He shrugged. "Well, I'm sorta up in PLANT and not really informed of the next time I visit."

The couple sweatdropped and Lacus struggled for words. "Asuran! I think it's a little too early to be thinking about this, ne? You should go rest since you've had such a tiring trip from PLANT."

"But…it was just 30 mi-"

Kira and Lacus pushed him up the stairs and into a room and slammed the door shut, panting slightly. They looked at each other, but quickly turned away, blushing madly.

"Let's go...er…take a walk…shall we?" Kira mumbled and she quickly agreed.

Inside the room

'All I asked was when the wedding was and they slam me in a room the moment I get here. They must not get guests much… Oh well…since I have nothing to do…I'll go visit some friends…"

Asuran opened the door quietly and peeked outside. 'Good. Nobody there. Time to escape.'

He crept slowly down the stairs, treading carefully to prevent noise. Unfortunately a screwed up Haro was resting at the middle section of the stairs. (A/N: Yes it is the Haro that Cagalli dropped a mug on. Lol) As the guest was about to place a foot on the next set, a round object was trodden on and Asuran slipped and fell off the rest of the stairs.

'So much for stealth…' He groaned as he painfully picked himself up and limped to the door.

End Chapter
