Chapter 9 – Old memories never die

It was 11am in the morning, on a beautiful Sunday morning. Cagalli Yula Attha, princess of Orb, was wasting it away, by sleeping.

When one could do so many things on a day like this, the young lady was sleeping.

When her twin was busy using up the time wasted by her to unpack his stuff into his new home for the future, she was snoring, her thoughts in her own world.

A world she rules…

A world where things happen her own way…

A world with her rules…

A world with the freedom she desires…

But not today.

Cagalli… wake up… A voice in Cagalli's head echoed in her own empty world.

Who's that? Cagalli turned around, expecting to see someone, but there was no-one, only the usual light that exists in Cagalli's world.

Suddenly a figure appeared, it drew closer and closer. Cagalli strained her eyes to see who it was. But the light was too bright… she couldn't see a thing at all.

Cagalli… do you remember… me? The voice was familiar, way too familiar…

Dad? Is that you? Cagalli strained her eyes harder, trying to make out the figure.

No… It's me…The figure grew much more recognizable… it was Athrun.

Athrun? But… what are you doing here?

To wake you up. Duh.

Cagalli woke up and blinked. There was no Athrun. It was just herself. She picked up her to-do list for the day and screamed.

She was supposed to be at Kira's house with Athrun to help him unpack. Half and hour ago.

"Oh my god I am going to be late!" Cagalli raced into her bathroom to wash her face. She definitely had no time to shower. She grabbed a yellow t-shirt and a pair of jeans and pulled them on. She brushed her hair, grabbed her keys and rushed out of the house.

Kira's House.

"Geez, too bad Cagalli isn't here. She's missing all the fun!" Kira and Athrun had already unpacked the DVD player and the TV and now they were watching a porno movie.

"You call this fun?" Athrun grabbed a pillow from one of the open boxes and covered his face with it, as the actress and actor began making out. "It's gross!"

"You were the one who suggested to watch this!"

"It said 'Eternal Love'! I didn't know that it was porno! I thought it was mushy and cute!" Athrun blushed. "Anyway you're the pervert. You bought this movie!"

Kira turned a deep red. "I did not buy this! Yzak bought it for me!"

"Either way you're still the pervert, brother," Kira and Athrun turned to the door.

"Cagalli!" The two said at the same time.

"Yah. Why aren't you two unpacking?" Cagalli folded her arms and gave them the 'oh-you-are-so-irresponsible' look.

"You came late!"

"And we unpacked the DVD player and the TV!"

Cagalli turned to the TV. The actress was on the actor and she was naked. Cagalli reached out for the remote and turned it off. "You two are gross. I mean, can't you wait until you guys are married? Then you can look at your wives naked all you want," Cagalli smirked as she picked up the DVD case. " 'Eternal Love, the story of young teenage love blossoming between two childhood friends. Starring the famous 'hot bod' girl Yvonne Adams and the hunk Jesse Lee.'," Cagalli blushed. Wasn't that

Athrun's and her story?

"Cagalli, what's wrong? Your cheeks look red like that time you stuffed a big fat chlli in your mouth… mmm!" Cagalli covered Kira's mouth with her hand. "Shut up or else my hand will willingly choke you,"

Athrun laughed and felt the same way too. He made his way to the box that Cagalli and Kira had half unpacked the day before. The three sat in a circle around it.

"So. Who wants to start reliving our memories?" Kira asked the two.

"I'll do it," Athrun dug his hand into the box and pulled out a photo. "Who remembers how old we were here?" He said after looking at the photo. There were 4 of them in the photo. Cagalli, who was grabbing Kira's hand, Athrun, who had his arms around the two of them, and a red head girl leaning on Kira. All of them were in flight suits except for the red head. She was in the EA uniform. They were standing in front of a badly damaged Gundam, possibly the Justice as it was red in colour.

Cagalli grabbed it from him. "I think, we were 16. I mean, judging by our flight suits…"

Kira grabbed the photo from her. "Yup. Wait. This is Fllay, right?"

It was Athrun's turn to grab the photo. "I think so. This must be taken before she died,"

"It's amazing how close we were even though we were from different countries," Cagalli dug a hand into the box and pulled out another photo. "Hey! Miss Murrue's wedding!"

The two boys went over to her. It was a cute photo, taken when they were 17. They were all sitting at a table which was elaborately decorated. Murrue looked beautiful, with her hair done up, holding Mwu La Fllaga's hand, which was on the table. There was a lot of people. Including Yzak, Dearka, Mir, Lacus, Sai, Natarle… basically their old war gang. The girls were dressed in matching pink dresses, which was sleeveless and had a lot of frills. The carried a small bouquet each. Natarle was the maid-of-honour, as she was wearing a different dress, a yellow one. The guys were wearing matching blue tuxedos.

"Who caught Murrue's bouquet?" Athrun asked suddenly.

"Ooh! I remember! Lacus and I caught it! But she caught it first in the air, and it slipped out of her hand and into mine!" Cagalli smiled. "I looked like a fool, right?" She pointed at herself in the photo, her hair tied in a ponytail with so many messy bits sticking out. "But I loved the dress. Pity Murrue didn't let us keep it,"

"Wait, Cags. Isn't the girl who catches the bouquet going to get married next?"

"Yup. Ooh… who's going to marry Lacus?" Athrun's scar of Lacus had cleared up thanks to Cagalli. He eyed his best friend maliciously. "When are you going to propse to her?"

"Uhh… I…"

Cagalli grinned. "After Lacus is me! Coz I caught it after her!"

It was Kira's turn to tease Athrun. "Ooh… who's going to marry Cagalli? Who's going to be my brother-in-law?" He punched Athrun in the ribs as he blushed like a madman.

"Shut up, Kira,"

"Yah. He doesn't love me," Cagalli blushed too. Giving Kira a death look.

"Come on man! Everyone's paired up! I've got Lacus, Yzak's got some girl from Haolos, Dearka's got Mir…" Kira stopped halfway and covered his mouth.

"Dearka and Mir?" Athrun asked, shocked.

"Shit. I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that," Kira muttered.

"How sweet of them! I always knew that they were fit for each other!" Cagalli clasped her hands together and smiled.

Athrun stared at her. "What!" Cagalli asked. "I didn't do anything wrong, right?"

"Is being cheerful a crime?" Cagalli glared at him. Athrun smiled at her. "Oh, no. Not at all, my dear Cagalli," He flashed a grin at her.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cagalli got up and chased Athrun around the empty house.

Kira laughed at the scene, as Cagalli jumped on top of Athrun, tackling him to the ground. Athrun picked her up and carried her over his shoulder, as she hit his back, screaming, "LET GO OF ME, YOU FREAK!" The two went into Kira's room, and there was a loud 'thump' as Athrun threw his load onto the bed. He ran out, with Cagalli hot on his heels, and Kira decided to block Athrun's way. He opened his arms out wide, as Athrun ran straight into him.

"Kira!" Athrun collided into him, and so did Cagalli. The three was in a big heap, Cagalli on top of them all.

At first they stared at each other, angry and pissed. Then Kira threw back his head and laughed. So did Athrun and finally followed by Cagalli.

"It's like the old times!" Cagalli said after she was done laughing. "Do you remember?" She turned to Athrun.

"Yup! Your birthday!" Athrun smiled at the memory.

"Mine too," Kira glared at him, holding a card. "And I found this. I think it's from the same birthday as that incident,"

"Sure is…" Cagalli bent over to see what it was.

Flashback

Cagalli walked out of her bedroom, dressed in the dress her father had asked her to wear. It was her fourteenth birthday, and her father wanted to hold a grand party for both her and Kira. She cursed under her breath and walked slowly out to the garden, suddenly, she heard her maid screaming.

"Miss Attha! I haven't tied your hair yet!"

Uh-oh. Cagalli thought. She picked up her skirts and ran outside. But what she didn't notice was a small mud pool in front of her. She tripped, and fell in, ruining her dress.

Shit. But I gotta run no matter what. I don't want my hair to be in those bun things! Cagalli cringed at the thought, stood up and started running again.

"Hi, Cags!" Athrun waved, only to be grabbed by the running princess. "HEY! Explain why on PLANT you are running and why is your dress all dirty? Your dad will kill you and so will Kira and… KIRA!" He waved at Kira, who was holding a cake, their birthday cake. Cagalli, who was looking behind to see the maid, crashed into him, the cake flew, and landed on Lord Uzumi's head, as he was looking for Cagalli and was told that she was running around in her new dress.

"CAGALLI YULA ATTHA!"

Shit I am so dead.

End flashback.

"Did you get killed?" Kira asked a laughing Cagalli.

"I think so. Dad was really angry for my ruining the dress and making the cake land n his head," Cagalli giggled and faced Athrun. "I didn't know what I was thinking when I pulled your hand! I just wanted to get away from the bloody maid!"

Athrun snickered. "Never mind. It was okay, really. But the cake bit… did it end up on our heads?"

Kira frowned. "Of course! Bit's of it. Most of it went on Lord Uzumi's head,"

Cagalli grabbed the card in Kira's hand. It was green in colour and had stains of mud at the sides of it. In it was written,

Dear Cagalli,

Happy Birthday my little girl!

Hope that your future is bright and fruitful just as you are so!

Try your best to control your temper and may your life be rewarding to others as it was to mine.

Always put other's first and never think of your self and yourself only.

Only then you can gain the love you deserve from others.

I will always treasure you like a diamond. And I hope that you will treasure this as well. Always keep in mind my words

Love, forever,

Dad.

Even the simplest things can make a person cry. And this green card smudged with mud and bits of chocolate fudge cake was the one thing that made Cagalli's mood go way below.

"Cagalli…" Kira put an arm around his sister, as she hurriedly wiped the tears away from her face. She put her best fake smile on.

"I'm okay, Kira, don't worry,"

"Just tell us what it is!" Athrun took the card from her hands and read it. "It's okay! Our parents are dead too!"

"No! It's just that… I screamed at his face before he died… I didn't know… I thought… I thought… MEMORIES SUCK!" Kira and Athrun were taken aback by her sudden outburst. They stared as Cagalli threw the card back into the box and ran out of the door.

"Cagalli!"

Okay... i didn't know how to end it but here it is anyway! Please review, even if it is to say that it sucks! Next chapter: Chapter 10- Double Date! I bet you guys know who the 'double date' peeps are! Haha!
