Chapter Four: Pink Champagne
Looking around Athrun felt that everything was still the same, no changes. Cagalli was Cagalli, nothing could ever change in this place other then the fact that the pictures of the two of them so badly burned in the fireplace. If you looked closely you may find pieces of burned photos that Cagalli burned in her spare time.
As Kira and Athrun walked up the door, he felt a cold shiver down his spine. Opening the door, Athrun gave a big smile.
"Ah! There you are Cagalli! I thought I would never find you, with how big this place is." Athrun joked, turning away from the china vase that was tossed at him and breaking into a thought pieces behind him.
"Well that's a warm welcome." He laughed, as Lacus got up from her seat and hugged Athrun.
"Welcome home, Athrun. How are you?" Lacus asked, as she kissed his cheek. Turning Lacus around he laughed.
"Very good, and you seem to have been busy the past two year, Lacus." Athrun joked, patting her stomach.
Cagalli glared at him, tempting to toss more items at him that could kill him. But didn't want to waste any money so she walked up to him and pushed him.
"What are you doing here?" The question was like a cold splash of water hitting Athrun in the face. But all he did was smile and walk up to Cagalli.
"What no welcome hug? Well if you must know, my friends are here and they are also friends of yours. They wanted to see the wedding in place of Yzak because he can not make it for he is eehh… he is.. wait I forgot what he is doing. AH! He has problems of himself and a bride to be." Athrun lied, but Cagalli could see it, she knew when Athrun lied and immediately tosses a vase at him.
"Liar, Athrun I know you are working for that idiotic magazine. Who did you bring in? some poor beggars!" Cagalli stabbed Athrun with her finger, poking in the shoulder.
"Shush, Shush! Those poor beggars are Dearka and Miriallia. They will think you did not want to them." Athrun calmly tried to put his hand on her shoulder only to be attacked. Cagalli had not changed over the years still that aggressive.
"Dearka and Miriallia! Why the heck are they here then? Still they can still if they do not write about my wedding but I want you out!" Cagalli could not think. All she wanted to do was have Athrun out of her house.
"Yes, Yes princess. But I think there is something that you would want to know about before you kick me out." Athrun sat down, trying to be calm, but was scared over the fact that Cagalli may carry a gun in her pockets.
"No, I don't want anything to do with your dirt magazine." Cagalli was tired and all she wanted to was rest.
"Well, I think this may interest you and Kira." Athrun sighed taking out an article that was ready to be printed in any moment. Cagalli saw the article and froze.
"Its really to be publicized in any moment. But right now I have the only copy and if it means not harming you and Kira in anyway so be it. No one will know about this article and it will be burned but that means letting them US stay." Athrun took the full glass of pink champagne and drank it down.
"About Kira and me?" Cagalli was pale. "They can't do that! I am one of the most known and with the cleanest reputation being a leader." Cagalli started worrying not only about what would Orb say but what would the other political leaders say? About having a bastard on the throne of Orb.
"Oh believe me, you have never met Sidney Kidd." Athrun sighed, looking at the empty glass that once held pink champagne.
"How, we… I have to stop him!" Cagalli said getting up to make calls but Athrun stopped her.
"He is stopped for now, temporarily. But then he wants a story and he will stop at nothing to get one. Believe me." Athrun whispered, grabbing her wrist.
"I can't believe it, going this low for a story. Can't Kira and I live in peace?" Cagalli cried. Forgetting that Athrun's hand was still on her wrist. She seemed to find peace when he held her.
"Yes, princess and it is called 'A Day with Orb's Bride."
"I want to die."
"Well, its not that bad.." Athrun laughed as he led Cagalli to a soft chair.
"I'm going to be examined and humiliated for 6.99 a copy and you are telling me that it is not that bad!" Cagalli cried, beliving that nothing could and would be worst then being one of the most known leaders and being humiliated, yet had to still face people that you know will speak about you from behind.
"Am I, Cag?" Athrun asked, using her nickname that he use to call her all the time when they where married. Cagalli looked at him confused and just looked away.
Eeeek, I would write more but I'm so tired right now. My brain is not willing to let me work anymore. Anyways so sorry about not updating last week, I had concerts, dinners, and had to get up at 4am to set up some stuff for school. So I've been really tired most of my time.
And pink champagne was a little thing to the movie An Affair to Remember. I believe Cary Grant starred in it as he starred in the movie this fanfiction this is based on. 3
