"Talking" 'thinking'

Chapter 19: Who Said Shopping Wasn't Fun.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Recap

"Let's get going, we have a lot to do and I don't like shopping so hurry up and get this over with," the blonde said breaking into a sprint out of the ship to the beautiful red convertible mustang as the others ran after her.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Hey, slow down before you kill us!" The real Kira screamed at his sister while holding onto the seat for dear life along with Lacus and Athrun. About 2.5 seconds later she parked the car at the mall. They got there under 5 minuets when normally it's a 20 minuet drive.

"What? It's not like I was speeding," the blonde said smoothly while everyone fell anime style.

"Was it something I said?" she asked lost while they all got out thankfully to be walking again and headed to the mall.

"Never mind sis," the fake Athrun said. (Remember, Kira is in Athrun's body and vice versa.) "Did you just call me sis?" Cagalli looked at her boyfriend confusingly.

"What? No! I said list," he quickly countered with a dumb grin on his face. Kira shook his head.

"Ok now let's go get our things, and meet at the dragon star restaurant at 5. That gives us 6 hours ok?" lacus said running off with her beloved "Kira".

"So what's first on the list?" the blue haired boy asked after the other two ran off.

"Getting my hair and makeup done," Cagalli replied while going to find the salon location on the 3D map of the mall. "Ok we have to go to the 265 floor," she said moving to the jet spring elevator. The elevator moves just as the name suggested.

"You better hold on Athrun," she warned once inside the elevator. Kira forgot about who he was so he didn't hear her and hit his head on the roof and fell on his ass when they stopped. His sister/girlfriend just laughed at him.

"I told you to hang on love," she laughed as they made their way though the busy crowd.

"Yeah, yeah what ever…" Kira was still rubbing his head from the thump he got in the elevator.

With the real Athrun and Lacus

"So Kira do you know why we are having this ball?" Lacus asked as they walked through the busy mall.

"I heard it was going to be like a Christmas and New Years party all in one," Athrun answered while Lacus listen to what he said to her.

"I also heard that some of the ZAFT crew members were coming to sign a peace treaty," she smiled.

"So I guess you and me-I mean Athrun, will have some paperwork to do right?" he added quickly.

"Yup," she smiled as they entered a dress store and started to look around. Athrun followed beside not too interested in the store. He watched lacus run around the store looking at what the place had to offer.

"Ok Kira which color do you like more on me. This one?" she held up a sparkly soft pink strapless dress that came down just to her ankle. "Or this one," she said holding up the other one. This dress was soft rose pink and ended just at her knee and also was strapless.

"Well they're the same color and I think that it wouldn't look right on you," he said trying very hard to chose his words right.

"KIRA YAMATO, these are NOT the same color," she barked at him. (Yes Lacus can yell when she has to)

"One is soft rose pink and one is soft pink," she hissed while Kira held up his hands in defense and sweat dropped.

After 20 dragging cruel painful minutes Lacus finally found a dress while Athrun was half asleep. Her dress was a strapless white dress with a sparkly overlay on it. The dress flowed down to her ankles a showed off her curves very well.

"Ok love let's go shoe shopping!" the pink haired girl cheered as the cashier bagged her things for her. Athrun looked like he was going to die from boredom as they walked over to the jet spring elevator.

With the real Kira and Cagalli

"Hi, I would like my hair washed and trimmed and styled please," she told the young girl at the desk.

"Go on in, there's a chair ready. What about you sexy, what can I do for you?" she winked at Kira while moving her rose color hair from her face.

"Same as her I guess," he said. 'I hope Athrun doesn't mind a trim,' he thought to himself while Cagalli got downright pissed at him. "What?" he said. Cagalli opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by the lady at the desk.

"Ok sexy that chair is all yours," she pointed to the chair closest to her while the girlfriend looked like she was going to kill him.

"Wait you said that there's only one chair free right? So let my girl go first ok?" Kira said trying to save himself from being killed.

"Ok sexy you can wait with me then," she smiled evilly at the blonde.

"Well I was planning on watching her…" he said putting his arm around Cagalli's shoulders and walking over to the free chair while the lady at the desk glared. "Trust me a little," he whispered into her ear while the blonde girl blushed deeply.

"I do but I don't trust her…" she said defensively as a rainbow haired guy walked over to her.

"So you're my next doll, well let's see. We'll cut your hair and streak it blue alright. Oh yes that would look fabulous," he said playing with her hair.

"No thanks I just want it washed, trimmed, then styled," she replied with a hint of anger in her voice.

"But you'll look better if you do it my way doll," he insisted trying to get her do this. Kira stood on the side while they fought.

After a good half hour of ear bleeding and headaches, Kira got fed up with this guy trying to push his sister/ pretend girlfriend around. "Ok here's what you're going to do to her hair. You are going to trim, wash, and style her hair and do her highlights got it?" he roared as the two just looked like this at him 0.0.

"Ok let's get started, then it's your turn smart boy," he said dragging Cagalli to the back to wash her hair while fake Athrun sat in the chair rubbing his forehead. After an hour passed she was done.

"So do you like it?"

"You look great," he said being caught off guard. Her hair was filled with loose curls; one on every other strand and she had light honey color highlights that caught the light very nicely in her hair.

"Your turn," the man said to Athrun. After half an hour, he was done, his hair was a little shorter and had lighter strand of blue all over the place and slicked back in to a ponytail with two strands of hair on either side of his face.

"You clean up nice Zala," Cagalli teased as they paid the girl at the desk and left.

"Ok now for my dress," she said gabbing his arm and heading for the evil, jet spring elevator as Kira liked to put it. 'Well at least Mwu is working on fixing us' he thought to himself.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

With Mwu

'Now what did I have to do again?' He thought to himself as he walked around the mall. 'Oh yeah I know, get my girl some lovely chocolates and that bath kit she's been hinting for forever now. I'm sure that there was something else I had to do… oh well it will come sooner or later.' he thought as he walked into the store. "Oh looks at the shiny Christmas stuff," he said running over to check them out like a little kid.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

With Kira and Lacus

"Ok now all I need is to do my hair then we are done," Lacus paid for her shoes at the counter and they were on their way. They were sliver sandals with a four inch heel. "Kira love, are you ok?" she asked worriedly, mainly because Kira just spend the last three hours looking at shoes.

"Yeah I'm sure h-don't worry yeah I'm fine," he said quickly with a smile.

"Ok let us go the starlight salon ok? They do the best hair styles," she happily cheered as they ran for the elevator.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A&C

Athrun had fallen asleep in the store waiting for Cagalli to pick a dress. They had been in one store for almost four hours now and she still hadn't found a pair she likes. Finally he was woken up by pain being shot thought his shin. "OW! What was that for si-Cagalli?" he said not fully awake yet.

"How does this one look?" she said holding a light green dress that reaches her ankles, had white trimming on it and strapless with a 'v' neck lining.

"Great," he said,

"Ok I'll buy it!" she told the cashier.

"Ok now let's go meet my brother and Lacus," she began to run ahead the restaurant.

'I know I'm going to die for saying this but…' "Do you have to buy shoes? I mean you already have like a thousand pairs?"

"No I already bought them," she chirped while they walked and he smiled for freedom was just 100 floors up.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

L&K

After two hours and sitting in the waiting area, the real Athrun was finally asleep on the couch he was on.

"Kira? Kira wake up hun. Kira?" Lacus called trying to wake him up.

"Kira's with Cagalli…let me sleep…"

"Silly Kira, you're right here with me. Athrun is with Cagalli,"

'Huh? Oh yeah that's me,' "What time is it? Where am I?" he panicked while wiping the sleepiness out of his eyes.

"At the salon sleepy, you fell asleep, wait, sorry I took so long with my hair," she cooed. She had her hair up in a bun/pony tail with two small braids going around the bun and her bangs were fluffed and cured and that hair clip of hers was gone.

"Great, now can we go eat?" he asked cheerfully.

"Don't you have to do your hair?" Lacus asked him while he got up.

"No there's not much. I might just spike it up a bit anyway," he said calling over to the elevator to the meeting place.

"Guess you're right," she said holding his arm.

Once at the restaurant everyone, met up and went in and got seated.

"Cagalli I love your hair and Athrun it's nice to see your face once again," lacus commented.

"Thanks," they said together.

"I like your hair too, Lacus," Cagalli added.

"Y-y-you you cut m-my h-hai-wait YOUR hair!" the fake Kira spat.

"Yup, it's not that much shorter then it was," Athrun said flipping thought his menu.

"Well I for one can't wait for tonight's party!" the girls squealed at the same time and bust i to laughter and the boys looked like they needed a well-earned nap.

With ZAFT

After taking Yzak out of the locked room and many hours of trying to talk him out of thinking that Kira and Athrun were still here and trying to brainwash the crew, Nicol, Dearka and Yzak were chosen for the representation of the ZAFT crew members along with a Meyrin Hawke and her sister Lunamaria.

"Guys Yzak is still twitching…" Nicol said worried.

"He'll get over it," Dearka told him starting up the ship to take them to the party.
