Ok. This is my first fanfic so i hope u guys like it. Please read and tell me my flaws! The characters' attitute might not seem like thier usual ones because i wanted them to be that way! Athrun and Cagalli are currently best friends but lets see what happens later on! It's really predictable or so according to my brother, but i hope not to you people out there!

Chapter one- These things happen

Cagalli Yula Attha woke up with a throbbing headache and found herself in a room she definitely couldn't call her own one at her apartment on earth. She was on the floor, in a yellow t-shirt and shorts. Then it hit her head HARD that she was DEFINITELY somewhere else but home.

"Cagalli, are you up yet!" It was the irritating voice of her twin brother, Kira, who was grinning, and holding her leg. He had ovoiusly pulled her off her bed.

Of course. She was in that crazy log cabin in the middle of nowhere that Athrun had bought as a joke three years ago. They were there to celebrate the Athrun and Lacus' fourth year of being engaged. She went there every year since that stupid hiking incident with Kira and Athrun; also the day Athrun bought the stupid place. Oh joy. How well she remembered that day.

Flashback

"Where… are… you… going!" Cagalli panted as Kira led the way. Athrun chuckled and grabbed Cagalli's bag from her shoulders.

"Can we rest for a while?" She hollered as she stopped next to waterfall they passed by. She sat on a rock and sighed as Kira went towards her.

He thought for a moment, then heaved a sigh and sat down next to her. "But I think it would be better if we were to rest somewhere else," He eyed the flying fish that was playing happily in the water, splashing water at him and Cagalli.

"Yah. You're right. Let's rest there," Athrun's sharp eyes had seen a log cabin nearby, and pointed at its direction. The trio went up to it.

As they drew nearer, they spotted a sign on one of the windows. 'FOR SALE', it said simply. For sale it was. Bet the owner has no taste because the cabin was so beautiful. It was big, made entirely out of wood and Cagalli guessed correctly that there were a lot of rooms in the cabin. They went inside and saw a young girl in her mid-teens, packing up boxes.

"What do you want?" The cold voice of the teen suggested that they were not welcome. "Unless you want to buy the cabin, you might as well leave because we've got nothing here anyway." She gathered a whole bunch of books and dumped them into a big box. "You're free to look around, but there's nothing much you can look at." The girl held her nose high in the air and went out to put the boxes in the truck waiting outside. They wandered around the cabin on their own. It had 2 floors, with 2 bedrooms, plus 2 with an attached bathroom each, which made 4 bedrooms. It also had a spacious living room… and a balcony in one of the rooms that had a breathtaking view of the waterfall nearby. Lacus would love this cabin, Cagalli thought. Athrun also thought the same.

Athrun grinned at Kira, who nodded. "How much for the house?" He asked simply, when the girl returned into the cabin, giving her 'the look' that got him many fans and admirers.

"Its normal price is around $1500, but since mum is in a rush to sell it I'll give it to you for $1000," The girl was blushing. The Athrun Zala trick had worked wonders again.

"Okay, we'll take it. Hang on, I've got a cheque…" Athrun rummaged through his backpack and fished out a cheque book.

"You are crazy, Athrun, to carry that around. If you were robbed…I don't know what on earth to say," Cagalli commented, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, I'm rich and I've got money so I think I'd better put it to good use, and I don't care about losing my blank cheques because they robber can't use it any way," Athrun signed the cheque and asked the girl to put her name at the empty space. The girl seemed to be shocked at the fact that Athrun had just came, and a second later bought the house.

"Zala, you are really, really insane," Cagalli shook her head as Athrun and Kira slumped on the sofa the second the girl had gone.

End Flashback

"Why am so dumb to follow you guys to this stupid outing EVERY SINGLE YEAR?" Cagalli screamed and yawned. She decided that being stubborn and staying in bed was not a good thing when:

1)Your twin brother is Kira Yamato

2)Your best friend is Athrun Zala

3)Your best friend's fiancé is Lacus Clyne

4)You are Cagalli Yula Attha

But she learned that the hard way.

Now the other two lovers (Athrun and Lacus), was in Cagalli's room. Lacus held out a chicken wing that had just been taken off the grill. Athrun was eating a chicken wing too. Cagalli stared at the chicken wing, wondering how the owner of the wing had died (she had recently turned vegetarian, but not a strict one. She became a vegetarian because of her love for all things natural), when Lacus thrust it into her hands.

"Ow! That chicken wing was hot, Lacus!" Cagalli thrust it back into Lacus' gloved hand.

"Of course! I would ALWAYS save the best for you, right? And anyway if you wanted it, just ask, Cagalli! You don't need to stare and make me figure out what is on your mind!" Lacus giggled. Athrun choked on the smallest bone of the chicken wing while laughing madly. Kira folded his arms and surveyed his twin with a certain look on his face.

"Get out of bed, lil' girl. Why don't you just get up and be like your hardworking twin brother here?" Kira pointed at himself. Cagalli snorted and imitated Kira by folding her arms and repeating what Kira had said. Lacus giggled harder still and Athrun spat the bone onto the floor.

"Eww… Athrun! That was disgusting, freakshow," Cagalli stared at the poor remains of the dead chicken on the new rug she had just bought to 'personalise' her bedroom in the cabin. "You are so going to get me a new rug."

"Fine," Athrun nonchalantly picked up the bone and threw it into the waterfall (did I mention that Cagalli's bedroom was the special one with the balcony facing the waterfall?). Cagalli winced at the fact that he did not bury the poor thing. She peered out of the balcony and saw some smoke.

"Hey guys, what's that?" All heads turned and they went up to the balcony. Lacus realized one thing…

"Oh my GODDESS! My chicken wings!" And she rushed downstairs to the BBQ pit. Kira was laughing heartily and Cagalli found it hard not to laugh either. Athrun gave them an offended look and looked away.

"You guys are so bad to Lacus," He muttered softly.

"My god. Athrun, you are SUCH a sensitive baby. CUT IT OUT MAN!" Cagalli tickled him in the ribs. Kira stopped laughing to see what happened.

"YOUR GOD, CAGALLI! You guys are SO DUMB to believe that?" Athrun went downstairs to help Lacus, laughing insanely.

"Do you understand that guy?" Cagalli asked Kira, as he shook his brown head.

"Nope. And I never will either," Kira sighed.

A week later...

Cagalli, being a nature lover, was a lecturer to those students in college learning botany. She felt bored and lazy, explaining the rows of bored-to-death students the techniques of grafting, its plus points, its minus points, and so on. If it weren't for her handphone ringing madly, she would have dropped dead on the spot.

"Excuse me for a moment," Cagalli muttered to her students.

The students nodded, glad that the droning woman was finally out of sight as she left the lecture hall.

It MUST be Kisaka, there was no doubt about that. "Kisaka, I'm in a very important lecture, I've got to go."

"Cagalli? It's me," The voice was shaky, filled with anxiousness and worry.

"What the- Athrun? What happened? Why didn't you call Kira?" Cagalli knew something was wrong. Athrun told her the news. "I'll be right there." Choking back her tears, she went inside the hall and didn't even bother to take the mike.

"You're dismissed. But all of you will have to stay back to finish up the syllabus another day. I will put up a notice." She grabbed her laptop and went out of the hall.

In her convertible, she switched on her phone and called Kisaka. "I need my Gundam. Now."

"Why? Listen, Cagalli, you can't go out to PLANT. I won't let you."

"Lacus got shot, Kisaka. I need to go. Athrun's in a mess. I need to be a good best friend and be there for him." Cagalli muttered. "Kira is on Neptune. Don't ask why."

"Ok. When will you be here?"

"In five minutes. Get a Gundam ready for me by then. I don't care which one. Just get me a freaking Gundam now." She hung up and drove the car at breakneck speed.

Within an hour, Cagalli was in PLANT. She got out of her Gundam and ran to the nearest changing room to change. As soon as she was decent, the girl grabbed the keys from a waiting concierge to her convertible on PLANT that Kira and Kisaka had bought for her recent birthday. The concierge, who was a man in his fifties, sighed as Cagalli zoomed past the place to the nearest city. Youths nowadays didn't have any time to spare anymore.

The second Cagalli reached the hospital Athrun said they were in; she didn't even bother to park her car. She left it at the side of the road and locked it. She ran inside.

"Which ward is Lacus Clyne at?" Cagalli asked the receptionist.

"Cagalli. What a pleasure to see you!" It was Murrue.

Cagalli blinked at her name. It was Murrue. "Murrue? You're a nurse? But why?"

"Oh! I just wanted to get out of the ships and Gundams and get into something new. And by the way, Lacus is in the ICU, level 3, room 7. Athrun is really, really messed up. You're here to cheer him up, are you not?" Murrue smiled.

"Yup! Thanks, Murrue! Bye!" Cagalli disappeared into the lift.

Athrun was pacing up and down the hallways, crying for all the world to see. He heard the lift and went towards it. The second Cagalli stepped out, he gave her a hug.

"What? Athrun… get off," But before the words could come out she realised that she was hugging him too. She thought about if she were in his shoes, what he would do, and what she wanted him to do.

Ok. How was it? Tell me and don't forget to came back to read the next chapter!
