Sorry I couldn't update for a long time! I was really busy!
Cagalli fell once again from Athruns shoulder onto the cold, wet deck.
"Cagalli!" cried Athrun helping her up, her cheeks were puffy and her eyes were red, and she started to sneeze.
"Are you ok?" he asked in concern.
"Ya, (cough, cough.) I'll live." Athrun smiled. A steward called for all first class passengers on that side of the boat to get into the life boats.
"Miss Cagalli!" he cried rushing over,
"You must get into the boat, you're in first class!" she turned her head over to Athrun, who was startled.
"You're… in first class?" he said, she nodded her head in shame.
"I would have told you, but… I never had the…"
"Does it really matter? What really matters, is if you're safe, c'mon." he said, and lifted her over his shoulders, and brought her over to the boat, and softly put her in. He leaned in and whispered in her ear:
"Whatever happens, whatever you go though, I'll be there, weather beside you, or plain dead, I'll always be there for you, forever." And the boat dropped down splashing into the water, and the people started to pull away.
"Athrun!" she called, and tried to stop the boat.
"Please, Cagalli, don't worry 'bout me! I'll come thru just fine! I'll see you one day, I promise! Go!" he shouted, and smiled.
He's telling me to go; she thought and stood up again.
"No Athrun! Rethink this! For my sake!" she hollered, but Athrun just smiled and waved, as his image slowly faded, a muffled "I love you!" was heard from him, the tears leaking from Cagalli's eyes wouldn't stop, even after he was gone, the other people of the boat tried to comfort her, but it was no use.
"Athruns gone," she said, and cried out a high-pitched scream, into the cold April air.
Sniffling, she stood up, and looked out into the fading image of the Titanic, but something was odd, instead of one, there was two pieces!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lacus and Kira had finally managed to finish the raft, and set it into the water, and were off, when an ear splitting sound reached their ears, looking behind them, the Titanic, split into two pieces, one sinking to the bottom, the other, slowly filling with water, and sinking also.
"Ahh crap," said Kira and started to paddle away as fast as he could, but it was fruitless, a huge wave swept across the tiny raft, knocking Kira off, and Lacus flaying with the raft across the wide space of water, and hurtling like a shot-put into the water and up again.
"Kira!" cried Lacus franticly searching.
"KIRA!" she screeched, but no sound came from the water, but the soft gurgling of water…
"Kira!" she shouted and plunged her face into the water, to see Kita slinking up.
"Lacus!" he cried, and pulled himself onto the tiny water-craft.
"I'm so glad to see you alive!" she cried and lurched herself and hugged Kira.
"Why did this happen Kira? Why?"
"I dunno Lacus, it seems to me that, from a long ways a way from here, is land, we gotta get going, if we wanna reach land and survive." He found the paddle and pulled it from the water, and started to paddle, and soon the water's current moved them surly to land, and to another life, for sure.
"Dearka, Dearka! We made it to land!" cried Meralia to Dearka, who was tired from rowing all thru the night.
"I can't believe it!" and sat onto the ground of the ship,
"We made it, we can start a new life, which reminds me,"
"I found this floating around some debris," he pulled out from his pocket and took out, the sapphire necklace.
"Meralia, will you marry me?" he asked, Meralia squealed.
'Yes Dearka, I will!" and hugged him and cried.
"I can't, I didn't even think we'd make it, but we did, Dearka! We did!" And that was the happy ending, for Meralia and Dearka, everything was perfect.
Flay got out of the boat and looked around.
"So this is loneliness?" she asked herself, she started to walk over to the bus, when someone pushed her, into the water. Never to return again. It was really her last wish, as her body lay on the rocks in a mass mangle of Human parts. Sea gulls soon came to pick on the body, and Flay was forgotten, forever.
Epilogue
When the Titanic sunk in 1912, over 7,000 of the 8,000 people died, only a bit over 1,000 did survive the catastrophe. When the passengers met the Carpathia, another ship also heading to New York, the Captain, Sparky 'Flash' Richard, named after his quick reactions, made sure all the passengers were safe and comfortable, Meralia, Dearka, Cagalli, Lacus, Kira and Athrun all made it out alive, Flay and Yzak didn't.
Cagalli never saw Athrun for over three years after the accident, their story, is for another time.
Dearka and Meralia did marry and have two kids, a boy and a girl, Missy and Jak. They spent 80 long years together, until Meralia died of cancer in 1992, it broke Dearka heart and he soon died.
Kira and Lacus also married, and had three children, all girls, to Kira disarray.
Well, that is the story of the titanic, lives were broken and ended, just because of an ice berg, no one ever found out about the mysterious chest that Lacus found, and no one ever did, but one thing is for sure.
The white ghost that Kira saw… wasn't an illusion.
The End.
