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. I also don't own McDonald's which has a very short role in this chapter.
"Snowflake"
"What the hell is her problem!" Yuuna yelled.
"The only problem is you, Yuuna!" Stellar yelled angrily. (Is the first time in my fics that I made Stellar angry?).
Stellar's yell caused lots of people to turn their heads at them.
"You're noting but a nuisance in our lives, Yuuna!" Stellar yelled.
Yuuna, Athrun and heck! Even Shin remained silent; Stellar never had an out burst before.
"She told you to never show your filthy face in front of her ever again so get a life out of this country cause you're not wanted here! No one likes money loving pricks such as you!" Stellar continued yelling.
"How dare you insult me, you bitch!" Yuuna slapped Stellar on the face leaving a red mark there.
"Hey, bastard!" Shin called Yuuna as he placed the bags he was carrying on a table. "You've got some guts to hurt my fiancé! So, here's a little payback!"
Shin charged at Yuuna and punched him on his stomach. Yuuna fell on his knees hugging his (pathetic) stomach.
"Don't just fucking stand there! Get that bastard!" Yuuna yelled at his bodyguards.
Then suddenly Yuuna's two bodyguards threw their ID's at him.
"Sorry, Mr. Seyman" One of the ex-bodyguards spoke "But we hate people like you"
"Even if you pay us money, we still don't." The other added "We aren't money loving pricks"
"You don't deserve any kind of protection" The two ex-bodyguards chorused.
"You can't do this!" Yuuna yelled.
"We just did, Mr. Seyman" The ex-bodyguard spoke "We don't expect to receive our pay check, which should relieve some of your problems on loosing your spouse--- I mean money"
Then the two ex-bodyguards shook hands with Stellar, Shin and Athrun.
"Thank you so much, Miss and Sirs" The ex-bodyguard spoke "My name is Randy and he is my twin Robert."
"It's nice to meet the both of you too" Athrun said "But why a thank you?"
"Because we haven't seen anyone has ever stood up to that despicable man, until today" Robert said "Ever since we started working, we despised this man but found no guts to go up against him"
"If the three of you need anything, anything at all" Randy said as he fished a small card from him coat "Just contact us, we'll be glad to help."
Shin accepted the card "Hey, thanks!"
"We'll see you next time, Randy and Robert!" Stellar bade farewell as they headed to their car.
Shin place the bags at the back and suddenly heard Stellar shriek. Randy and Robert who just came out of the restaurant heard this and followed the sound.
"Stellar, what's wrong?" Athrun and Shin asked worriedly.
"Miss Stellar, what happened?" Robert and Randy asked as they just arrived.
"Cagalli… Cagalli's not here!" Stellar said sadly "Where on earth could she be! She's not the type to run off like that!"
"Stell, don't worry" Shin assured her as he pulled her into a hug "We're gonna look for her and find her. Don't worry"
"Miss Stellar, my brother and I will also help look for your dear sister" Randy said.
"Don't worry, Stellar" Athrun placed his hand on her shoulder "As your future brother in law and friend, I promise we'll find her."
"Such an evil thing to happen in our supposed to be happy morning…" Stellar murmured.
An hour later, they still couldn't find Cagalli so they decided to split up. Randy and Robert looked at the upper part of the city, Shin and Stellar looked for Cagalli at the lower part of the City while Athrun checked the other places the other two teams dint search.
Randy and Robert rode their car (Surprise, surprise! They have a car!) as they searched for Cagalli same for Shin and Stellar, they use a car.
While Athrun who almost freaked out in front of Shin rode a shiny (looking-like-brand-new-awesome-cool-just-the-best-for-the-beloved-Athrun) red motorcycle.
As soon as Athrun was separated from Shin, Stellar, Robert and Randy, he freaked out. He didn't know why, he just did and kept on thinking about Cagalli and no one else.
He was driving fast, stopping everytime he sees a blonde. He had already passed by tons of blondes but still no Cagali and it was an hour before lunch, he promised Stellar that he'd fine Cagalli on or before lunch.
FLASHBACK
"Such an evil thing to happen in our supposed to be happy morning…" Stellar murmured.
"Don't worry, Stellar" Robert said "We'll find Miss Cagalli in no time at all!"
"He's right, Stellar" Athrun added "I'll find her on or before lunch, and when I say on or before it's always before"
"Thanks, everyone!" Stellar said.
END FLASHBACK
"Dammit, Cagalli…" Athrun cursed angrily as he sped off "Where the fuck are you?"
Meanwhile, Shin and Stellar were still searching for Cagalli downtown…
"Don't worry, Stellar" Shin said as he drove "Cagalli will be fine, she's a strong girl"
"I know, I'm just worried…" Stellar said sadly. "I'm still her sister after all"
"Hmmm…" Shin continued driving and searching for Cagalli.
Back with Athrun, it was already thirty minutes past lunch. Athrun was getting a bit hungry but to hell with that! He needed to find his Cagalli! I mean Cagalli!
"Cagalli, I'm not going to stop until I find you!" Athrun thought courageously.
Athrun continued to search for Cagalli, he searched the park. The only place he hasn't looked yet, and for a good reason! The ORB Park was big. There were six sections for God's sake!
And each section was like as big as three malls! Six multiplied to three is equivalent to eighteen! Eighteen malls big! A girl unlike Cagalli would go gaga crazy already, but for Athrun, he's going to get gaga crazy if he won't find Cagalli soon.
Forty minutes later, Athrun finished searching five sections. That was record time! Yet, he didn't care, he needed to find Cagalli. Not just for Stellar but also for this nagging feeling inside of him telling him to go and look for Cagalli.
"You'd better be in the sixth section, Cagalli!" Athrun thought sadly yet angrily "That's the last and only place I haven't checked yet!"
Athrun was half way done searching the whole sixth section when he saw a blonde sitting on the grass looking at the large garden.
Athrun parked his motorcycle beside a tree and walked to the blonde.
But before Athrun could get near to the blonde, the blonde stood up and turned around looking down.
Athrun noticed that it as Cagalli, he was over overjoyed! That he ran to her and hugged her tightly without knowing why he did that.
Cagalli blushed as Athrun hugged her.
"God fucking dammit, Cagalli!" Athrun said worriedly, he was still hugging her "I was so fucking worried!"
"Um, okay, you can let go now!" Cagalli thought, but even if she said that in her mind. She didn't even struggle to move away from his hug, she just blushed nothing else.
After her encounter with Yuuna this morning she felt sad, angry, alone and all negative emotions that I couldn't even think of. But as Athrun hugged her, it all went away, all the sadness, the anger it all went away with Athrun's hug.
Athrun let go of Cagalli and held her shoulders. Cagalli felt a bit saddened that Athrun let go of the hug but why did she?
"Cagalli! Why the hell didn't you give us a call!" Athrun yelled angrily, but he didn't mean it, it just came out. "You just bolted out from the restaurant and leave us hanging! God, Cagalli!"
Anger boiled inside Cagalli, she didn't want to deal with this now. But she couldn't avoid it any longer, she was here and he was here. She was loosing control over herself, and she did the best way se thought of to hide it back. Anger.
"Shut up, Zala!" Cagalli yelled back "Why should you even care! Why should you even ask! You wouldn't even understand all the Bloody things I went through!"
Tears were forming on her eyes, threatening to spill out freely. But she held them in, she tried hard.
But she failed, she never failed before. Was it because of Athrun? Was he the reason that that barrier was broken?
"Cagalli…" Athrun looked at Cagalli, he never seen her cry before. Or heard from Shin about Cagalli crying. "I'm sorry…"
Athrun hugged Cagalli protectively in his arms.
"Let it out, Cagalli" Athrun said to her.
Cagalli cried, she cried as if she never cried before. Se cried on his shoulder as they both hugged each other, not wanting to let go.
"ATHRUN!" Cagalli cried is name as she gripped his shirt.
And for once in both their lives, they felt as if they weren't alone, they somehow connected to each other.
Somehow, Cagalli could feel Athrun's sadness and loneliness. Athrun could also felt the same; he felt Cagalli's sadness and loneliness. And it was somehow similar to their own problems from the past.
Meanwhile, downtown…
Shin suddenly felt water on his cheeks; he wiped them off and noticed that it wouldn't stop. They were tears, but he didn't know why he was crying.
Stellar also felt the same, tears were flowing freely from her eyes. But neither both of them knew how.
Stellar leaned on Shin's shoulder, and Shin looked at her and noticed she was crying like him.
"Stellar…" Shin said quietly.
"Shin…" Stellar replied "Why…?"
"I… I don't know…" Shin replied as he wiped away Stellar's tears.
"Cagalli…" Stellar thought.
"Athrun…" Shin thought.
"Shin, let's… Let's go home" Stellar said out of the blue "Can you… Can you sense it too…"
"Yeah, I can…" Shin replied "But how come? I don't have proof tat they are totally fine, but I can feel it"
"I feel it too and as you said I also don't know why…" Stellar said "but maybe because it's a mutual relationship between siblings…"
"I can feel that they have found each other, Stell" Shin replied.
"So do I…" Stellar quietly replied.
Then they headed home. Stellar phoned Robert and Randy…
"Um, Randy?" Stellar asked "It's fine now, you don't have to continue the search."
"So, Miss Cagalli has already been found?" Randy replied happily.
"N-no, but I feel that she's safe and that she knows what she'd do" Stellar replied "I know it sounds stupid and crazy but believe me…"
"No, it doesn't sound crazy or stupid, Miss Stellar" Randy relied "It's just a sibling connection. I can feel it too with my twin"
"Thank you for understanding, Randy" Stellar said before she hung up.
Stellar place her cell phone down and sighed.
At the park, Athrun and Cagalli were now sitting on the grass overlooking the large garden.
"So, Cagalli" Athrun asked "If you won't mind me asking, why'd you run off like tat this morning? And who was that prick you and Stellar yelled at earlier?"
"He… He's name is Yuuna Roma Seyman" Cagalli replied as the breeze swept passed her hair "He was my ex boyfriend…"
"Oh, I'm sorry…" Athrun apologized quickly, he didn't want to hurt her "I didn't know…"
"No, don't be" Cagalli replied "I already have gotten over it, but just his appearance sickens me."
"Why?" Athrun asked "What the hell did he do……. To you?"
Then Cagalli told Athrun about her past with Yuuna and how she broke up with him at the party.
"I think Sin and Stellar were there too" Cagalli continued "Yeah, they were, but they were late so they didn't see my do that."
"What a filthy bastard" Athrun commented "How could he have done that to you!"
"Well, he did" Cagalli said.
"What else did he do to you after that?" Athrun asked.
"Nothing I guess…" Cagalli replied "After that day I haven't seen anymore until today"
"Oh," Athrun looked at Cagalli "Were there other people who hurt you badly? Like him?"
"I guess, there is one more…" Cagalli said "His name was Ahmed, I have already forgotten is complete name, he was a two timing prick"
"How?"
"Well, it all went like this" Cagalli explained.
While explaining, Cagalli smiled. She never opened up to anyone not even to Stellar about her past relationships.
"That was so dumb of him!" Athrun laughed.
"I know!" Cagalli laughed with Athrun.
"If he were to cheat on you, he wouldn't have done it wide open, what a loser!" Athrun laughed louder.
Cagalli kept talking more about her past, yet now, it all felt as if it were all funny and just jokes. She was actually having fun letting everything out.
"So, how about you, Athrun?" Cagalli asked out of the blue.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Athrun asked.
"All this time I have been talking about my friggin' past" Cagalli said "Why not you try this time?"
"Well, we might have some similarities" Athrun smiled.
"Oh, and what would that be?" Cagalli giggled.
"We're both unlucky in our love lives." Athrun said.
"Really? Why?" Cagalli asked.
"Well, I had three ex's before" Athrun explained.
After Athrun talked about his first girlfriend…
"That's friggin gross!" Cagalli said loudly "You had a slut for a girl? Man, that is so God damn friggin' gross!"
"Hey, I didn't know she was a slut, okay!" Athrun said as Cagalli laughed "And I have to admit it was gross!"
"Duh! You expelled her the next day!" Cagalli laughed "That's similar to what I did to Ahmed!"
"Like I said we somehow similar love lives" Athrun replied.
"So, your next one?" Cagalli asked.
Then Athrun told Cagalli about Lunamaria and then Meyrin.
"Your are such a loser, Zala!" Cagalli laughed "You are too kind sometimes!"
"Hey, if I wasn't kind you wouldn't be here knowing the funny memories I experienced!" Athrun laughed "You still would be dwelling on the friggin past"
"I guess your right, Athrun" Cagalli said as continued to laughed.
They spent most of their afternoon laughing and talking about their past, until Cagalli felt hungry…
Cagalli's tummy grumbled, which caused them to quiet own.
"Maybe I should give you a ride—" Athrun was cut off by Cagalli.
"BAH! I'm not going home yet!" Cagalli whined like a kid "I'm having so much fun now! Let's just eat somewhere! Let's buy burgers and soda's and fries and ice cream and candy and…"
"Hold your horses, Cagalli!" Athrun said "Fine, we'll do all those that you named and what ever you would think of later, so let's get going"
"YAY!" Cagalli cheered.
Athrun lead Cagalli to his motorcycle and handed Cagalli a spare helmet…
"So, how fast does this thing go?" Cagalli asked.
"Hey, don't degrade my work, Cagalli!" Athrun pretended to be hurt "I made this 'thing' myself! And I assure you its fast!"
"Really? Then you won't min making me one for Christmas then?" Cagalli asked playfully.
"Sure, I'd be giving you your bill with the gift" Athrun joked.
Cagalli giggled.
"Ready?" Athrun asked.
"Since forever ago, Zala!" Cagalli joked.
And they were off! And Cagalli had to admit, it was fast. They reached McDonald's in less than thirty minutes.
"That was fun!" Cagalli complimented as they got off Athrun's motorcycle.
"We'll let's grab a bite to eat, shall we?" Athrun suggested and they both went in McDonald's.

I'm also going to post another fic about Athrun and Cagalli after I'm one with this. And now, I have to make it a point that I have to double time in writing this fic cause for my Christmas vacation, I'm going to my grandfather's farm and obviously far from the city. I mean its six hours land travel from where I live to get there, so I have to finish before I leave for vacation. And the schedule of my leave for vacation isn't clear because I don't know when my grandfather would pick my parents and I. So I do hope I'd be able to finish this fic before I leave for vacation.
There won't be any internet access for my whole vacation if I stay at my grandfather's farm. So, that's also another reason why. So, please help me by sending me your reviews to speeding things up.
And who knows? Once I get back from vacation, I have lots of fics and ideas on my mind that I can pos. right? So please help moi by reviewing, thank you everyone!
