Chapter 2
Miriallia Haw was combing her hair after having a shower. She was just told she was having a special dinner with some "Zala" guy from her father's work. She really didn't want to go, but her father's promotion was on the line. She would only do it for her father' sake.
"Father do I really have to go to this dinner. I mean it's only for your business." Athrun Zala, a cordinator with blue hair, asked his father.
"Yes Athrun, I've decided to move this man to your industry." His father answered while tightening his tie.
"Why would you do that? I thought you said that he was a good employee." Athrun asked with his green eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"of course he is, but he deserves a promotion and I do believe you'll need his knowledge for your company." His father explained.
"so all I have to do is eat dinner and meet him?" He asked.
"Show some excitement Athrun this is important business were doing." His father answered.
"Excitement? Aren't we suppose to act like we rule all and that we have nothing to worry about in this world." Athrun said with sarcasm.
"We are but also have to show some enthusiasm." His father said looking at Athrun.
He just wants me to think of this as a hobby. This is going to be the most boring night of my life.
A knock on the door told Mir that the guest's have arrived. She heard her mother yell to her father to get the door and heard her mother run into the kitchen to finish up dinner.
"Miriallia hurry up, the guests are here!" her mother yelled up the stairs at her.
"Yes mother." She replied with a sigh.
"why me, why do I have to it through a really long boring dinner with my father's boss."
She rushed down the stairs to see if they were inside yet. As she was at the end of the staircase she saw the 2 guest's. She thought she knew the younger one maybe from the war but, that was two years ago. The younger guy looked 24 years old and the older one looked 42.
She saw her father speaking to them and shaking each one of their hands.
"this is my daughter Miriallia." She heard her father say. Mir went to the door and curtsied to them. Now up close she knew she had seen the guy somewhere maybe even on the television.
"Miriallia this is Patrick Zala and his son Athrun." Mir saw a cheerful smile from the younger guy which made herself smile back.
"Miriallia please show our guest's to the dining room." Mir's father said.
She walked towards the dining room letting them thought the door first.
They all sat down after she and her mother set the dishes on the table, they were having turkey, mashed potatoes, peas and rice.
After a few minutes of just the parents talking the guy finally started talking to Miriallia.
"Have we met before?" he asked.
This struck he thinks we met before as well, we must of met. He does look familiar.
"I think we might of. Were you in the war between Naturals and Cordinators two years ago."
"Yes I was." He answered.
They decided to stay on that topic explaining how they got in war and what they did in war. Mir made sure she kept her friends, Archangel and her strange encounter with the cordinator prisoner out of it.
Mir made sure she didn't pig out on the food and used her manners. (sorry to those who are pig lovers. But it was the quickest and easiest way to explain. I have to say a special sorry to my best french fry end.)
(2 hours later, these people really like to talk.)
"Athrun it's time to go!" Mr.Zala shouted to his so.
Miriallia told Athrun already about her involvement with the war and Athrun only had told her until he was stranded on the island, he hadn't mentioned Cagalli yet.
"Do you want to finish our conversation tomorrow, maybe at the mall." Miriallia asked him,
"Sure, maybe we can get lunch. What about at 11:30?" Athrun asked her.
"okay. See you then." She answered.
"BYE!" he shouted as he got into the car with his father.
Athrun was driving to the mall but was thinking about how he wished he refused this little date. He just couldn't get a certain girl out of his head and this girl wasn't anything like her.
As he drove he nearly ran over a girl in the middle of the road, he braked quickly enough. The girl didn't even move she kept walking and cursing under her breath.
"Excuse me Miss, but you in the middle of the road." He told her.
She whirled around and shouted, "If I'm in your way then go around."
"Cagalli is that you?" Athrun asked.
"Athrun! Oh my god, it is you!" she answered.
"What are you doing here?" Athrun asked.
"Well I was on a date with this guy and then he pissed me off!" she shouted.
"that still doesn't explain why your here." He said.
"Well you see I told him to drive me home and he told me to walk." She explained.
"That Jerk! Does that mean you need a ride?" he asked.
"Really! You would do that, then yes I would love a ride." She answered cheerfully.
Athrun got out of his seat and opened the passenger's seat for her, as she passed he heard her say:
"He made me wear a dress, he deserves to pay."
Instead of just driving her home Athrun took her to buy a new dress and took her out for lunch. As they ate burgers and fries they talked about the two years after the war. What Athrun forgot about was his date with another girl.
"That Jerk! He told me to meet him there at 11:30 and now it's 5:00 and he still hasn't come." Mir yelled.
She ran up the stairs to her bedroom swearing every so often, the sweet Miriallia that everyone knew was now gone.
Mir could only think of one way to get this anger out and that was to think of revenge but, she wasn't good at that. She knew someone that is, her best friend Cagalli. (I would phone my best friend to but miss paranoid would probably tell me to not do anything, until about 10 minutes later the she would come out with a great idea!)
Miriallia dialled her best friends number and waited as it rang. After the fourth ring she picked up.
"What do you want?" she yelled into the phone.
"Sorry Cagalli, it's Miriallia." Miriallia answered.
"Oh Mir what's up?" Cagalli could tell something was wrong with her friend.
"This guy was suppose to go on a date with me but then he didn't show and he still hasn't even phoned me." She shouted.
"Well maybe he was busy, oh wait I see you want pay back." Cagalli said.
"That's right." Miriallia answered.
"so who is this guy?" Cagalli asked her.
"Why so you know who he is maybe you have his number then we could prank phone call him." Miriallia started rambling on with ideas.
"Actually I was just wondering." Cagalli said.
"Oh OK. Zala something." Miriallia still went rambling on.
"ATHRUN! ATHRUN ZALA!" Cagalli shouted.
"Ya thats it. Why?" Mir said surprised by her friends sudden outburst.
"I think I know why he wasn't on your date." Cagalli said quietly.
"Oh really, thats great. Why?" she answered.
"He was on a date with me." Cagallia said.
"What he's dating 2 people!" Miriallia shouted.
"No. I kinda asked him and I guess he forgot about you. But he did say he was suspected to be with another girl but I didn't worry about it." Cagalli answered truthfully.
"CAGALLI!" Miriallia didn't know what else to say, her best friend just back stabbed her. She just hung up quickly and jumped onto her bed tears falling down her cheeks. Why does it hurt so much, I can't stand it.
.
"I can't believe it! She hung up on me!" Cagallia shouted but, it didn't bother her that much because knowing Miriallia she was probably crying right now. The best thing to do is to leave her alone, or she'll get even angrier.
Miriallia now was always liked that she never had a good relationship with someone after Tolle's death. She needs someone who will protect her and never leave her. But who would that be? Wait there was a guy on the Archangel? The prisoner she had a pretty good relationship with him.
His name was Dearka something...Dearka Elsman. That's his name... I hope he doesn't have a good relationship or Miriallia will probably be crushed.
Well thats it, sorry about the whole ramble on with Cagalli at the end but I was really bored and someone just pissed me off. OK I know there was no Dearka but I mentioned his name thats good enough right! Wrong, sorry all Dearka fans my next chapter is dedicated to him! Lol! Please R&R!
