Graduation
Disclaimer: I said it 19 times….
A/n: I am so sorry for not updating this! I was so stuck with my other stories! Please forgive me! (Begs for forgiveness) Alrighty, I present the final chapter of "School Daze!"
"What should I wear?" asked Cagalli as she was at the dressed shop for what to wear under her graduation gown.
"I don't know. What kind of dress do you want?" asked Lacus, who was shopping with her.
Cagalli shrugged. "I don't know. Something simple I guess." Lacus smiled.
"I think this will suit you." She held up a green spaghetti strapped dress that had a skirt attached to it.
"That's cute." Cagalli complimented.
"Try it on." Lacus suggested. Cagalli then headed for the dressing room.
"Cagalli! Are you done yet!" shouted Lacus.
"Alright! I'm coming! I'm coming!" she whined as she came out. Lacus' eyes beamed.
"Wow, Cagalli! You look great!" Cagalli blushed.
"Umm…thanks."
"Now to get something to match with it…" Lacus went around the store. Finally, she came back with a green clip.
"There you go! Now you look beautiful!" Cagalli smiled.
"What are you going to wear?" she asks.
"Sort of the same thing as you except pink." Lacus replied.
"Alright! Let's pay now!" and off they went to the register to pay.
"Hmm…what to get…" wondered Kira as he was looking at all the formal shirts they had at the store. Yzak sighed.
"Kira, we have lives to live…" he mumbled. Kira gave out a nervous chuckle.
"Sorry, I just want to look good for graduation." Yzak sighed once again.
"All you have to do is wear a nice formal shirt and black slacks."
"I know, but I just want to look nice." Kira smiled.
"Whatever, just hurry up!" Kira nodded and grabbed an armful of shirts and rushed to the fitting room.
"What's taking him?" asked Dearka who was waiting outside.
"He's just trying to find the 'perfect shirt'." he sneered. Dearka chuckled.
"Losing patience in him, Yzak?" Yzak just grumbled.
"Why don't you just wait outside? I'll wait for Kira."
"Thanks." and Yzak left. Finally, or what seemed like forever, Kira came out.
"Well What do you think?" he asked. Dearka arched an eyebrow.
"Where's Yzak?"
"Taking a break, and you shirt is on backwards." He pointed at the tag that was sticking out. Kira gave out a nervous laugh.
"I'm gonna go change now.." and he was gone, giving the guys another lifetime to wait.
Back at School
"Alright Meyrin, just a little higher…um, maybe a little higher…there! Perfect!" said Stellar as she was helping Meyrin put up the graduation banner. Auel came out with one of the graduation gowns.
"Well? Watcha think?" he asked as he turned around. Stellar arched an eyebrow.
"Well…great. But you are not graduating." Auel gave a triumphant smile.
"Well, this is me next year."
Meyrin couldn't help but laugh. Auel made a mad face.
"What's so funny?" he asks.
"Nothing…" she replied. "Are you wearing something under Mr. Graduate?"
Auel's eyes widened.
"We're supposed to wear something under?" Meyrin and Stellar fell of shock, then got back up.
"DUH!" replied Meyrin. Auel then began scratch himself.
"No wonder we have to wear something under! It sorta itches!"
"You are so not sitting next to me." Stellar then walked away to get more decorations as Meyrin helped.
"Umm guys, help?" asked Auel as he was trying to get the gown off.
Sting was walking by with some decorations until he stopped to hear someone sing.
"Is that Lacus?" he thought. He went around the tree to look. To his mistake, it wasn't Lacus, it was Meer! Singing!
"Wow, she's good." Sting said to himself. All of a sudden, Meer stopped.
"Who's there!" she yelled. Sting appeared.
"Don't worry, It's me." he assured. Meer sighed in relief but then went back to an angry expression.
"Why are you spying on me?" she demanded, Sting jumped.
"Chill, I was walking by until I heard someone singing. Whoever it was, has a good voice." he complimented. Meer blushed.
"You..think I have a good voice?" she asked embarrassed. Sting shrugged.
"I guess…" Meer was speechless.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
Silence.
"So, why are you singing?" asked Sting as he put down the decorations.
"I sing on my spare time." she replied. Sting grinned.
"Well, did you ever sing in front of someone before?" he asked. Meer shook a no.
"Why?" Sting continued asking.
"You could say that I am a shy person." she replied.
"There's no need to be shy. Tell you what? Why won't you join the talent show at Carean Park? Many people are participating." Sting suggested. Meer's eyes widened.
"Join a talent show? And sing in front of people? I've always wanted to do that." she said surprised. Sting nodded.
"I'll sign you up. Why not give it a try?" Meer's eyes beamed.
"Thank you so much!" All of a sudden, she hugged him, making Sting blush.
"Umm…er…your welcome?" he said nervously. Meer then got off him.
"Sorry, I just am really happy. I always dreamed of performing on stage."
"Well then, let's get started!" Sting grabbed Meer's arm to help her on her singing.
This, was the day. The time has come after four years in high school, graduation. The students were lined up at the entrance.
"I can't believe it…the time for our graduation…"said Lacus as she could feel her eyes water up.
"Me too. We really made our years worth it." said Kira as he held Lacus' hand.
"One kiss before we go up there?" he asked, Lacus nodded and kissed him lightly. "Let's go." and they went back to their positions.
Cagalli went up to Athrun.
"Well Athrun, I guess this is it." she said. Athrun smiled.
"This is it, the time that we graduate high school." Cagalli quickly kissed Athrun before going into her positions. It was time.
"Alright? Is everyone ready?" asked Gilbert. Everyone nodded and the doors were opened.
Everyone was there as they walked down the aisle. Friends, parents, and many other.
"The juniors did a good job." commented Dearka.
"Yeah." Yzak replied. The music began.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
The principal went up to the stage as everyone sat down.
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
"Everyone!" Gilbert began. "Another year has passed, and more students." His voice started breaking, they all knew he was about to cry.
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
"These…these students did a great job this year, of course, it was one crazy one."
All the couples held their lover's hand.
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
"Shinn, I think I'm going to cry…" said Stellar as she was trying to hold back her tears. Shinn held her hand a little tighter.
"It's alright Stellar." Shinn comforted as he kissed her hair. Stellar smiled and leaned on him.
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
"So Meyrin," flirted Auel as he saw Shinn and Stellar leaning on each other and holding hands. "You gonna cry yet?"
Meyrin became mad.
"Keep your hands to yourself." she warned. Auel nodded and focused back to the ceremony.
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
"Dearka, I guess this is it…" said Miriallia as she leaned on him. Dearka smiled.
"It ain't the end yet.."
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
"Yzak, I'm gonna miss you…" said Shiho. Yzak smiled.
"Me too. But we are going to still meet each other again." he smiled and Shiho smiled with him.
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
"Athrun, you promise to call me every single day right?" asked Cagalli.
"Of course." he said.
"And you won't got flirting with other girls?"
"Yes, Cagalli. I promise."
"And you won't lie to me?"
"Yes, Cagalli. I promise to keep in touch with you and all…" he assured. Cagalli sighed in relief as she held Athrun's hand.
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
"Kira…I'm going to miss you…" cried Lacus. Kira held her.
"Don't worry, I'm still here and always will be. Even though we maybe apart." Lacus forced a smile as the both continued to listen.
As we go on
We remember
"Now as I call you names, please step up and receive you certificate and all." instructed Gilbert.
"Lacus Clyne…"
All the times we
Had together
"Cagalli Yula Athha…." Cagalli got up and received her certificate.
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
"Shiho Hahnenfu…"
We will still be
Friends Forever
"Miriallia Haww…."
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
"Kira Yamato…"
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
"Athrun Zala…."
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
"Yzak Joule…"
Will little brainy Heine be the stockbroker man?
Can Fllay find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
"Dearka Elsman…."
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
And the list went on.
As we go on
We remember
The whole class went to the front of the stage.
All the times we
Had together
Then they yelled….
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
"WE ARE THE GRADUATES!"
We will still be
Friends Forever
