WHAT? YOU MEAN I DIDN'T TYPE FOR MONTHS? OR MAYBE YEARS? Sorry about that. Details below.

Disclaimer: Do I even have to type this?

Sorry... I'm too lazy to type... but you guys know who you are, and maybe I'll have some more fans that I'll be too lazy to add up so I'll just... not type any usernames...

Once Dearka opened the wall… we all went out of the castle. "Where have you been? Come on! Let's go!" Captain Murrue said as she ran out of the castle. She dragged us to the Archangel and we headed towards who-knows-where.

"Wow, those idiotic ZAFT pilots almost got us… good they're being taken care of…" I smiled. "What do you mean? Who's taking care of them?" Athrun asked. "My father." I replied with a sad smile.

After a few hours, we felt really bored. "How do you think I can open this locket?" I asked Kira, hoping to start a conversation. "Might have a key…" he said as he dozed off. "Duh! I knew that, what I mean is, where do I get the key?" I asked once more.

"Just sleep already, Cagalli… it's 10 pm for crying out loud…" Kira replied. I just lay there in his room and thought about the locket. "Someone must have the key… but who?" I asked myself. "Cagalli… just sleep already…" Kira's voice suddenly echoed in his room.

"I thought you were sleeping!" I replied, startled. I looked at him. He seems to be having a dream. To avoid being startled again, I went out of the room. Nobody was at the halls. I looked into every room and I saw nobody awake. "Am I the only person who's awake?" I yelled, hearing my voice echoing in each room.

Great. I felt alone and I wasn't tired or sleepy yet. But then, I remembered my horrible dream. A dream that I was dead. The sad look of everyone's eyes… sadness everywhere… tears. And the thing that I could remember the most was Athrun; did he really love me? A simple question roamed my head.

And before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

THE NEXT DAY…

The next day, I saw myself lying down on a bed. But it wasn't mine because my bed was facing the window. "Wh-where am I?" I asked, hoping someone would reply. I was too lazy to get up. "You're in my room." Athrun suddenly looked at me. "Oh. HOW THE HECK DID I GET IN HERE?" I asked, suddenly getting up from his bed. "I saw you in the hallways this morning and I thought you fainted so I brought you here.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING ME TO YOUR ROOM THEN?" I yelled. Athrun looked at me wide-eyed. He knew that I was mad. "Uhm… uhh… I didn't have your key to open your room…" he smiled hoping that he wouldn't anger me more.

"Don't tell me you…" I asked as dirty thoughts entered my mind. "PERVERT!" I yelled. "What? I just brought you into my room because I didn't want you lying in the halls until some rats just take you into their den!" Athrun said. "And does bringing you into my room make me a pervert?" he asked.

I looked angrily at him. Until I thought about what he said. I replied, "Yes it does!" I laughed. "Wow, Cagalli, you're getting crazier each second…" he said as he crawled away from me.

I just laughed. Besides, it was pretty thoughtful of him to sleep on the ground than to sleep beside me on his bed. I just blushed because I was so wrong about him. Mental note: First impressions never last, I thought. Well, it's a new day… but the journey has just begun. And lots of questions need lots of answers.

"Cagalli…" Athrun called out, knocking me off my senses. "Huh? What?" I asked back. "I want to make a promise to you…" he replied. His voice was way more serious than a while ago. "I promise that I will protect you… like a bodyguard or something. And this promise would take place for as long as you live." He smiled.

"Ok… but it would be tough…" I replied, knowing that I was a rebellious freak sometimes. I smiled. This was the first time I ever had a bodyguard. Because since I was a kid, I protected myself. And I turned down everyone who wanted to protect me. Even my parents. So I ran away…

"It's a deal." I smiled as I shook hands with Athrun. "You better keep this promise…" I told him. "So why do you want to protect me again?" I asked. "N-nothing important… uhmmm… uhhh… Kira told me to… yeah… he did tell me…" he laughed at himself, and if this were an anime and appeared on TV, you might see a sweatdrop behind his head.

I knew he was lying, so I just smiled. "Cagalli, I think your brother's looking for you…" Athrun said.

I just went out of his room, waving goodbye. "We have landed at Gleetown. We will be here for a while to buy some food supplies." Captain Murrue's voice said as it boomed on the loudspeaker.
