A/N: A fic in dedication of Christmas and New Year. Have fun reading! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, mina!
Disclaimer: I won't be writing fics if I owned Gundam Seed/Destiny, I'd be making more sequels to the anime focusing on Athrun and Cagalli.
"Snowflake"
"WHAT!" Cagalli yelled, but not angrily "Tomorrow? As in tomorrow? As in December 15!"
"Uh, yes…" Stellar said like a whimper "As in December 15 tomorrow"
"But it's too soon!" Cagalli yelled complaining "We don't have anytime to prepare for the dinner!"
"We still have a day you know!" Stellar replied raising her voice a bit.
She was known as the patient sister but when you get her into an argument with hot-tempered sis, she'll become one too.
"And for crying out loud, sis! It's only dinner! Just one night and no more!"
"Do you want us to get embarrassed!" Cagalli asked angrily, flailing her hands up and down "They are the Zala brothers for crying out loud, Stellar! They are our soon-to-be business partners, do you want them to back down from the partnership because of fucking food!"
"No! Of course no!" Stellar replied shaking her head furiously "But I am engaged to marry Shin on the month of February, there's nothing to worry about! Okay?"
Cagalli kept silent, her sister was indeed right. So right that her mind left her to deal with Stellar alone.
"So, we'll tell Myrna to buy the best ingredients for tomorrow's dinner!" Stellar said in a matter-of-factly tone "But not to go overboard since it is only dinner."
"Fine!" Cagalli said "It was your decision anyways! So, you my dear little sister will do all the work!"
"Nah-uh, Cagalli!" Stellar said while gesturing with her index finger "You're helping too!"
"Huh?" Cagalli asked as Stellar grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of the room "Why should I help?"
"Because it is also your duty as an Athha to do so" Stellar said smiling "And like you said, they are our soon-to-be business partners. So it would be just right that we both help for dinner"
"Urgh! Me and my big mouth!" Cagalli murmured as she slapped herself with her free hand.
Ath the Zala mansion, Shin and Athrun were having an afternoon swim at their (large) swimming pool…
"What time are we gonna go there?" Athrun asked as jumped into the pool.
"Six thirty pm flat" Shin said taking a sip from his lemonade "We mustn't be late, Stellar's sister is a bit of a hot head"
"Okay, what are we gonna wear?" Athrun asked "Casual, formal, what?"
"Anything! They're just friends and it's only dinner!" Shin said taking out his sunglasses.
"Okay, what theme?" Athrun asked yet another annoying question "Cheerful, gothic, merry Christmas, snowy?"
"Like I said, ANYTHING!" Shin raised his voice, his brother was officially getting really annoying.
"If you say so" Athrun replied.
Shin was about to jump from the diving boar but Athrun yet again asked another annoying question.
"Which pair of shoes should I wear?" Athrun asked.
"Athrun, you are acting like a teenage girl going on her first date!" Shin yelled shaking his fists at Athrun "It's just dinner, they are just friends! Wear something like the usual! Civilian clothes, whatever! It's just dinner!"
"Fine…" Athrun said.
"That is it! That is it!" Shin yelled "Why you no good bastard of a brother!"
Shin did a cannonball jump causing Athrun to cover his eyes.
"You are so annoying, you know that!" Shin yelled as he splashed water on Athrun.
"It's my job as an older brother" Athrun joked as they had a water battle.
It was already four thirty in the afternoon. Myrna kept on bugging Stellar and Cagalli. Myrna kept on asking about the color themes and all for dinner.
Cagalli was playing Xenosaga on their Play Station 2 while Stellar was feeding her virtual online pets at color of plates would go nicely, Miss Athha?" Myrna asked as several other maids each held a different hued plate.
"Anything as long as it ain't pink" Cagalli said not taking her eyes off te screen "I don't like pink"
"Yes, Miss Cagalli" Myrna said as she shooed away the maids who were holding the many shades of pink. "Will it be the plates with designs?"
"Sure, okay, whatever" Stellar said not taking her eyes off the monitor.
"Plastic or glass?" Myrna asked.
"Glass" Stellar Cagalli replied.
"See through or not?" Myrna countered yet another question.
"Not see through" Stellar answered quickly.
"Emboss or engrave?" Myrna asked.
"Engrave" Cagalli answered directly.
"Classical designs or just flower borders?" Myrna asked another question.
"Just do as you please, Myrna" Cagalli said.
"Very well, Miss Cagalli" Myrna and the other maids exited the room.
"Good that she's gone!" Cagalli sighed in relief "She was really getting annoying with all those stupid plates!"
"You got that right" Stellar replied as she turned off the laptop.
Stellar walked to their cd cabinet and took one out. Then she sat beside Cagalli raising the cd on her face.
"Soul Caliber 3?" Cagalli read.
"Versus, now!" Stellar wined somewhat.
"Fine, but I tell you, you wont win" Cagalli warned.
"Whatever! We both know that I'm the best in this game!" Stellar said proudly.
"Let's just see" Cagalli replied.
Later, around nine twenty pm, Stellar was online having a voice chat with Shin.
"How did Cagalli take the news, Stellar?" Shin asked.
"Oh, I expected worse from her" Stellar said giggling "She took it pretty well, I guess."
"Oh, that's good to ear" Sin said laughing "At least se didn't freak out like when you told her that you're engaged"
"She was just too protective of me that time" Stellar giggled "She is so much like a sister"
"Yep, I know" Shin said "I wonder how it would go if we're already married. Should we live with her or not?"
Stellar laughed "Maybe we should, and let her take care of the kids"
Both laughed their heads off until they went to the topic of dinner.
"What'll happen if your brother and my sister would actually fall in love with each other?" Stellar asked "That would be nice right?"
"Yeah, I mean Athrun's just plain unlucky on his love life like what I told you!" Shin said.
"Yeah, you told me that" Stellar replied "But why is he unlucky?"
"Well, he dated three girls before only three and those tree relationships didn't work out." Shin explained "His first girlfriend was when he was a freshman, her name was Mia Campbell. Their relationship was going smoothly until Athrun's pal had a stripper for his birthday from his other pal's as a gift. The stripper was Mia, and he broke up with her right on the spot at his pal's birthday."
"That's sad, yet wrong too" Stellar said "It was wrong of Mia to work as a stripper!"
"I know, the next was a Lunamaria Hawke. He dated her when he was a junior. But she only thought of him as a friend and pitied him, that's why she agreed to date him. When in reality, she loved a senior named Rey. Athrun found out and broke up with her telling her that they'd still be friends"
"That's sad for Athrun and nice for Athrun too, he has such a kind heart" Stellar complimented.
"And the last was a Meyrin Hawke, Luna's younger sister." Shin said "She fantasized about Athrun but found out that she only looked at him as an older brother. And Athrun found out that too. He broke up with her and found out that she and another classmate of hers were having secret feelings for each other so he helped the two get closer until they had a relationship. Yet Athrun was pretty shocked to hear the news, he was still over protective of Meyrin that Luna and Rey were always to go to Athrun's house and get lectured on how to protect Meyrin and to watch over Auel, because he might be a playboy or something"
"Athrun's actually understanding except for the Mia thing" Stellar said.
"Oh, and those three girls were all presidents of his fan club at his school" Shin added.
"Freaky!" Stellar laughed.
"Well, Shin, it's already late." Stellar said "Cagalli's gonna kill me if she catches me still up, even though I'm 22 she treats me like a kid. Oh, well, bye! See you tomorrow at dinner, I love you!"
"Bye, see you" Shin replied "I love you, Stellar"
Then Stellar and Shin went offline together.
Stellar laid down on her bed and hugged her pillow in a shape of a star that has the word Stellar in the middle of the pillow. And she slowly went to sleep.
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: That was the third chapter of my X-mas fic! Hope you liked it! So read and review! Sorry for the long update, I promised everyone that I'd update when I get seven reviews, but I got sick and wasn't able to use the computer. And as always, I won't update unless I get another seven (7) reviews.
And sorry for ending it like this, but I assure you that by the next chapter, Athrun and Cagalli would meet. Thanks for the reviews!
Oh, and I'm gonna be focusing more on this fic than Only Friends cause this fic has a dead line. But once this fic is over, I'm gonna be updating Only friends. And until that time, you'll all have to keep guessing who is the surprise character.
Please also read and review my other fics: Maybe, Don't Leave Me Alone, Vampires, Jokes and Harmony, Deadly Love, and Only Friends.
