Chapter Summery: Flashbacks…the past…and the grand meeting you've all been waiting for…The beginning of a war….bittersweet.
A/N: At the beginning of the chapter I will tell you each characters past to tell you their position in this story.
Chapter One: Expecting the Unexpected
Kira YamatoKira Yamato is a first generation coordinater. He resided on the moon for most of his childhood. His parents moved to earth later on. He's been the best friend of Athrun Zala for as long as he remembers, and they are inseperable. When the war started, Kira and Athrun took refuge in the PLANT….as to not get involved. Though their safety was still in jeapordy. Kira did not have any grudge against the naturals, although Athrun was a little cold towards them as his mother had been killed on Junuis Seven. Soon, the war grew out of hand. Some coordinaters, Patrick Zala's group, grew desperate. They were convinced that the naturals had to be destroyed. So once again, a bright light shone through the darkness of space. A light of hatred. Kira had watched in shock as the planet where his parents had resided collapsed. He was broken. He had fallen. Nobody was there to pick up the shattered pieces of his heart. Not even Athrun or his beautiful cousin, Lacus Clyne.
Athrun ZalaAthrun Zala was a third generation coordinater. For his early years, he resided on the moon with his best friend Kira Yamato. He loved his mother greatly…and couldn't bear it when she had died. Still, he had not fought. But he hated the naturals for taking his dear mother away from him. His father had turned crazy. This made him confront the only family member he had left. He was shocked to hear that his father intended for all naturals to be destroyed. His father had even shot him in the arm…his own father…
It was then that all the hatred disipated. The hatred remained for the Blue Cosmo's, but not for the general population. It was now that Athrun listened to Kira's famous cousin Lacus.
After genesis struck earth, Athrun felt lost. He felt depressed. He hated seeing his best friend Kira like that….he couldn't persuade Kira to eat or sleep. He feared his best friends death. There were no people in PLANT who could help them, would only hate themselves. Athrun didn't want to bring that on anyone. So he and Lacus brought Kira to the new natural coloney heliopoless in hopes of making Kira get better.
Athrun was a good hearted man, who cerished all his friends. If you messed with them you were better off homeless and starved.
Lacus ClyneLacus Clyne was the idol of everyone in PLANT. She was gentle, playful child like and beautiful. She had a voice that could belong to an angel. She welcomed all with open arms, and had the sweetest smile around. She cared about her cousin more then anything, and would do anything to help him. What hurt her most was the fact she couldn't help him after Earth's demise.
Cagalli Yula AtthaCagalli is a natural, according to her late father. Two years ago, she had been with the ORB forces in space but her father was on earth. She had watched the preciouse blue planet explode. She cried her eyes out. But she emerged strong and determined. She held no grudge against the coordinaters, she didn't hate Athrun Zala who she knew was still free. Many wanted the young Zala dead, but Cagalli knew that there can be a thick line between father and son.
Cagalli had lived her life as a princess, and she hated it. She hated it with all her heart. But she accepted the role.
She barely kept contact with her childhood friend Lacus Clyne…she and Lacus had been friends as long as they could remember. But Cagalli's identity was to be kept secret and Lacus couldn't tell any of her friends. It pained Cagalli to force Lacus to keep her a secret from her friend and cousin. Lacus talked fervently about her cousin Kira Yamato, describing him as naïve, kind, unstable…the kind of boy Cagalli thought a weakling. She didn't care to listen to Lacus when she went into those "talk" modes. Little did Cagalli know that she would regret not listening…
After earth was destroyed, the Blue Cosmo's had found her. They knew she was talented and tried to make her fight for them. But she refused and had escaped. There was nowhere else to go but to heliopaless where she now resided.
"Prepare to attack," ordered Mr.Armada, leader of the Blue Cosmo's.
"Sir!" replied his forces.
Armada smiled at himself evily. "Perfect," he hissed. "The damn coordinaters are finally ours to destroy! They'll pay for what they did to earth one and for all!"
In HelipolessKira Yamato streched himself awake. It had been a long night full of nightmares. He kept on dreaming about his mother and father. He was quite depressed. Once before the war he had been cheerful. Had cracked jokes. Had been happy…content.
Not anymore.
Kira went downstairs and greeted his friend Athrun.
"G'morning," he said. "Whats for breakfast?"
"Your farvourate," the blunette replied. "Pancakes!"
Kira smiled. Even when he smiled genuinly, it held saddness.
"Kira!" called a sweet voice dripping sugar. The pink haired princess bolted out of the kitchen and threw her arms around Kira like she always did….everyday…5 times a day.
"Good morning Lacus," Kira hugged her back. "Now come on! Pancakes are getting cold!" she said leading Kira in by his hand. Athrun followed, taking Lacus's other hand.
They each had no family left…so they were each others family. It had been that way for two years.
With Cagalli"G'morning Mana," said a weary blond.
"Why hello Cagalli," replied the maid. "Breakfast is ready."
"What is it?" asked Cagalli. "Bacon and eggs?"
"No," Mana smiled. "Pancakes."
"Pancakes?" Cagalli smiled. "I love pancakes!"
Mana's smile grew larger. "That's why I made them!"
After breakfast, Cagalli slowly walked to school.
She went her usual route, through Sunset Avenue where all the coordinaters of the colony lived. There were only about 20 coordinaters. Most came and went. But these twenty had made Heliopoless their home.
Suddenly she noticed a weird trio. One had blue hair, and one brown. The girl had flowing pink hair…flowing pink hair! Lacus? No…that was impossible!
The brunette and the blunette were allowing "Lacus" to hold onto their arms and they walked. Most coorinaters, even naturals preferred to keep their public displays of affection down to a minimum. This was very unusual.
Why hadn't she noticed them before? Well she usually left half an hour earlier then this. That was the reaon.
Cagalli made her way over to them. The girl looked a lot like Lacus, and as she got closer she gasped. It was Lacus!
Kira, Athrun and Lacus had been walking to school when they heard a gasp. Turning around they saw a blonde girl with brown eyes. She had a boyish look about her, but the bown tank top signified that she was a girl. As with the green pendant she wore around her neck.
"Cagalli!" said Lacus in shock walking towards her childhood friend. "Lacus!" responded the blonde who Kira guessed was Cagalli. Both girls ran and threw each others arms around each other.
Kira and Athrun were lost. How did these Lacus and this girl know each other?
Cagalli made her way to the two of Lacus's friends. Her identity wasn't secret anymore. In 3 years she would run for ruler of heliopoless anyway.
"Hi! My name is Cagalli." She introduced. She was ver outgoing, and the two boys saw that right away.
"My names Athrun Zala…." He had hesitated at the last name. He had almost been murdered many times before.
Cagalli smiled and nodded. "I was right in thinking you weren't like your father."
She turned to the brunette. She stared in his violet eyes and instantly saw the pain and sorrow. "You must be Kira Yamato…Lacus told me loads about you!"
TBCA/N: I know I ended it in a weird way, but I spent my Saturday working on this chappie and I want to have some fun now. Hope you liked the first chapie! And it will be a Kira/Cagalli pairing. The story hasn't really started yet…the plot I mean. It won't officially start for another few chapters. Bye! See you next time! I'm a fast updater so don't worry.
Review….I know you wanna!
