Okays... second chapter is up! Hope u like it... oh yeah by the way I forgot the disclaimer in the first chapter so here it is...

DISCLAIMER (did I spell it right?): I don't own Gundam Seed and/or the characters in it. I'm only 13, how can I own such a thing?

Anyway in this chapter I purposely turned Athrun into a crybaby. Haha! Read on to see what I mean!

And also thanks a lot for those who reviewed me saying they like it! Thank you SO MUCH!

Chapter Two- Weird Awakenings

"Chill, dude. Tell me how the great Athrun Zala can fall to pieces so easily?" Cagalli asked with a smirk as soon as they were pulled apart. "So, how was Lacus shot?"

Athrun's eyes looked into her willing and friendly ones and he started crying again. "Well, today," He said in a shaky voice. "I decided to bring her out just for fun, so we went to Haolos." Cagalli nodded. That restaurant was where Miriallia worked in, and was where they loved to hang out. Athrun looked down at his shoes. "I went to place our orders at the counter when I heard a shout; I turned around and saw…" His voice trailed away, more tears going out of his emerald orbs and down his face

"Athrun… it's ok. I'm sure Lacus will be fine," Cagalli put an arm around him, as they sat down outside the ICU Lacus was in.

"No… listen! If I had listened to her, if I had let her placed the order instead of me doing so… me being stupid gentleman, such an idiot, she wouldn't get shot," He buried his face in his hands.

My god. Cagalli thought, Athrun is really no insensitive brat. Look at him! Falling into pieces so easily. Cagalli felt her old self come back again, irritating her. She brushed the thoughts away.

"I bet she didn't blame it on you. Come on! Being a gentleman is great. Every girl loves a good gentleman like you," Cagalli said, hoping to bring up his spirits. Athrun punched her lightly on her shoulder. "Hey, I'm not kidding. If you weren't so soft and emotional I would have fallen for you immediately. But since Lacus remains to be your fiancé, I can't go anywhere near you, let alone fall for you!" Cagalli got up and ran around the floor, with Athrun hot on her heels. He finally caught up with her and tackled her until she fell onto the floor.

"Take it back, Cag," He smiled, using her old nickname.

"NEVER! I thought you love to be praised?" Cagalli laughed. "Gone soft, Athrun? Your nose doesn't look as high as usual, I see."

Athrun was about to kill her if not for Kira standing at the end of the corridor.

"Kira!" Cagalli ran into him and knocked all the wind out of him. "What the hell were you doing on Neptune, you idiot? You see! Without you toughening Athrun up, he's gone all soft! You won't believe how much he cried! It might have been able to fill up all the oceans on Earth!"

"Haha! I guess I am pretty important after all." Kira grinned at Athrun and he grinned back. "So how's Lacus doing?"

"She's fine. The doctors say she's in a stable condition. But that was an hour ago, after the operation…" Athrun looked into the windows of the room and sighed heavily at the sight of his fiancé. "I hope the doctors will come out soon."

Even though Lacus was wearing a hospital gown and had a lot of tubes sticking out of her petite figure, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully, her eyes closed and she seemed to have a smile on her face, as though she was pleased about something.

A few minutes later, Lacus' doctor came out.

"Miss Lacus is fine, just like you hoped, Mr Zala,"

"Thank you doctor. Has the bullet been removed from her body?"

"Yes Sir. I thought I sent someone to tell you that a few minutes ago?"

"I guess, but I didn't hear it. When will she be discharged?"

"Soon Sir. Mr. Sigel Clyne asked for her to be brought to the Clyne manor, Sir."

"I see. Inform me if there is anything that happened to Lacus, anything at all. Just call me." Athrun waved his cellphone and the doctor nodded and went away to his office.

"So. Athrun Zala Sir. Are we going anywhere for dinner, Sir." Kira imitated a soldier, saluting Athrun, and putting on a deep voice.

"Shut up, Yamato," Athrun growled.

"Yes Sir, right away Sir," Both Kira and Cagalli did mock salutes and laughed at the look on Athrun's face.

It was pretty hard to believe that a bunch of 22 year olds were acting this way, laughing and teasing one another like a bunch of teenagers. But here they were, the ex-soldiers, they ones who helped greatly to bring down the war, laughing insanely like as though there was no tomorrow.

An hour later, the three were in a bar, they had just finished their dinner and their beers and was now totally drunk. Cagalli was bartop dancing, with Athrun and Kira consuming more drinks and cheering Cagalli on. Cagalli, being drunk, could feel herself feeling really high up. The men in the bar were all cheering on her, shouting and screaming loudly, making her feel wanted and loved, she danced some more, until…

Until she fell from the bartop but was caught by a drunk Athrun, who wrapped his arms around her body. Kira had gone insane, he was cheering Athrun on, waving his empty beer bottle about and muttering crap about wanting a love life. Cagalli felt herself coming to, only to find herself in the arms of her best friend, who was oviously drunk and mad.

"God, WHAT THE HELL! ATHRUN GET OFF ME NOW!" Cagalli pushed the 22 year old on to the floor. "Oh my god, you're drunk! Shit. What is gonna happen now?" She dragged and unconscious Athrun and Kira (who had knocked himself out with the beer bottle) out of the bar, and knocked into Yzack and Dearka, who was on their way to get drunk and end up being like Athrun and Kira.

"Cagalli! Hey! I didn't know a princess would be here!" Dearka waved to her as they went over to help her.

"What's this?" Yzack asked, pointing at the unconscious Athrun and Kira. In the semi-darkness those two idiots looked like corpses.

"Oh! This?" Cagalli gabbed the collar of her brother's t-shirt. "Is Kira." She kicked the other figure. "And this, is Athrun."

"Ha! They got drunk?" Dearka kicked Athrun too, and the poor knocked out dude went inside the bush nearby.

"Duh. What else do men like those your age do besides flirting, laughing, getting drunk and smothering women?" Cagalli eyed the two sane men with a look which oviously said 'fess up, idiot'. "Help me. Please. Help me get these bastards in distress back into action before they go MIA."

The three of them together hauled the lot into Cagalli's convertible. "I'll take it from here. Thanks guys. Now go make yourself drunk but I ain't here to save you!"

"Cagalli! How are you supposed to drag them into their apartments without our help?" Yzack asked with a smile.

"No need. I'll leave them to rot in the car until morning. Bye!" She sped off at 180km/hr.

What they didn't know was that Lacus was already up and about. Apparently Athrun had forgotten to switch on his cellphone so he wasn't informed. He also didn't know that the first word Lacus said when she woke up was…

Kira…

Hey! Me again. Did you like it? Once again, please review, even if you hate it, then your comments will be put to good use to make this fanfic even more exciting still. Hmmm… wondered what was on Lacus' mind when she said that? Kira… read Chapter Three – Broken Hearts to find out! Cheers!
