So to clear a few things from the last chapter to this one.
-Athrun and "group" are all 21. -They are in collage classes. -Cagalli in not Uzumi's daughter
Well now that that was been cleared. On we go.
Chapter 9
It was the longest day in Athrun's life. He sat and sat and sat. It was finally 12. He went to his parents house. "Why hello Athrun." Lenora said happily seeing her son once again in his room. Athrun only grunted. Lenora blinked and smiled as she sat next to Athrun on the bed. "You know what they say Athrun?" Lenora asked softly.
"Not really. What do they say mother?" Athrun questioned. "Time makes the heart grow stronger." Lenora said happily. "I remember one time your father, god your father. When he was in the ZAFT army he had went away for 3 months. I missed him dearly. Another guy started to hit on me as well. I could barely take it. Then the day he came back I was so happy." Lenora said smiling. "That was the day he asked me to marry him." Lenora said smiling. She looked at her ring fondly. Athrun blinked at his mother.
"Don't do that though Athrun. You are far too young." Lenora said standing. "But I'm 21." Athrun shouted confused. Lenora waved her hand and smiled. Athrun blinked and fell back to his bed. 'This was going to take forever.' Athrun thought sighing.

Cagalli wandered the sidewalks with Milly and Lacus. They had decided to go shopping around for a new outfit for when the boys came back. Cagalli was looking at a cute outfit that was green and blue. "Hey baby you sure look F-I-N-E, fine." a voice whispered in her ear. Cagalli turned to see Yunna smiling. "Yunna for your information I have a boyfriend, so make like a bee and buzz off." Cagalli said turning to leave. Yunna caught her arm though. "Ah Cagalli I know that but that doesn't mean that I can't do this." Yunna said (A/N: Don't kill me) as he smashed his lips to hers. Cagalli struggled from his grasp but couldn't move. Yunna pulled away smiling.
Cagalli felt like throwing up. She clutched her throat, as if it burned. Lacus saw Cagalli fall to the floor and ran to her side. "Cagalli! Cagalli!" Lacus called holding on to her shoulder. "Cagalli please hold on." Milly said. "Some one get us a glass of water." Milly shouted. A small girl nodded and brought a water to them fast. Cagalli quickly drank it. She panted for air after ward. "Are you okay?" Lacus asked. Cagalli nodded. Lacus wasn't going to have it and brought her home right away.
Cagalli sat on her bed playing with her flip phone. A sudden noise almost made her fall off her bed. Cagalli looked down to see a text message. "What is up? -Athrun" it said. Cagalli smiled sadly. "Yunna. Did Lacus send u? -Cagalli" Cagalli sent it.
"Who the hell Yunna? And yes. -Athrun"
"Yunna is a dumb ass who can't get over the fact that I love you. -Cagalli"
"What did he do? -Athrun"
"He kissed me -Cagalli"
"…"
"Athrun? -Cagalli"
Suddenly her phone rang. Cagalli picked it up. "HE KISSED YOU?" Athrun shouted. "Athrun it's you!" Cagalli said happily, her eyes filling with tears. "Oh course it's me silly." Athrun said softly. "I haven't seen you in what seems like forever." Cagalli said laughing. "I know. I promise it will be better." Athrun promise. "Image me there." Cagalli said softly. Athrun closed his eyes and pictured Cagalli. "I miss you." Athrun said smiling ,though Cagalli couldn't see it she knew it was there.
)--00--00--(
Cagalli smiled as she tried shopping with Lacus again the next day. "Here Cagalli this would look great on you!" Lacus said pulling Cagalli into a store. "I-I don't know." Cagalli mumbled looking at herself in the mirror. "Athrun's gonna drop dead when he sees you come on." Lacus urged. Cagalli smiled as she imagined Athrun's face. "Okay." Cagalli said happily and started to change out of the outfit. Most of there day was spent like that.
)--00--00--(
Athrun on the other hand was trying his hand at . . . Robot making. He watched Kira making a green Haro for Lacus. "Hey Kira, may I join you?" Athrun asked sitting on the floor next to him. "No, be my quest." Kira said smiling. Athrun picked up a small screwdriver and a panel board. Before to long there was a small green and yellow bird. "Wow that's really good. Can I have it?" Kira questioned. Athrun nodded. "I'll call him birdy." Kira said smiling as the bird jumped on his shoulder.
)--00--00--(
Dearka sat and watched the waves. He sat on the beach with Athrun. He was playing with there puppy in the water. Kira sat watching them as well. They had to leave tomorrow. Athrun was happy to no end. Dearka started eating the plate he was eating off of. "Umm Dearka?" Kira said. "Huh?" Dearka asked. "Your eating a plate." Kira said pointing at the plate. "Ell" Dearka squeaked as he spat out the plate. "Don't worry. You'll see Milly tomorrow." Kira said patting his back.
)--00--00--(
Cagalli waited and was losing her cool with every passing second. She needed to see Athrun soon. It was driving her mad. "Cagalli there coming." Lacus said waving to her. Cagalli moved from the window and waited with the girls. Uzumi, her father waited farther away.
As soon as she saw Athrun's blue hair Cagalli went running for him. "Athrun!" Cagalli shouted and jumped on him. Athrun stumbled back a bit but stayed up right and smiled at her. "Hey Cagalli." Athrun said smiling. "Don't just stand there smiling, kiss me you idiot!" Cagalli said. Athrun pulled a hand to the back of her head and pulled her in to a heated kiss. Cagalli let her tongue explore every nook and cranny of his mouth. The longing she felt was unbearable. Athrun seemed to feel the same as he wrapped his arms around her body and pressed her to him. Cagalli pulled back for air though. "I missed you." Cagalli said with a giggle. Athrun laughed at her and pulled her into another small kiss.
)--00--00--(
Milly smiled as Dearka came and pulled her into a big hug. "I missed you soooo much." Dearka said happily and let her kiss him on the lips. "I did too." Milly said happily. "No I really missed you. I started to eat a plate yesterday." Dearka said with a laugh. Milly smiled. "I guess you did miss me more." Milly said smiling. Dearka smiled and brought her into another kiss.
)--00--00--(
"Kira!", "Lacus!" The two said as they pulled each other in a hug. "God I missed you a whole bunch." Lacus said smiling. Kira nodded and pulled her into a soft kiss. Lacus blushed a bit but returned the kiss.
"Lacus come on. We have to introduce our boyfriends to my dad." Cagalli called. Milly was already over there and Dearka was shaking his hand. Athrun seemed to be sweating a bit. "Don't worry Athrun." Kira said smiling. "Easy for you to say. He's not your girlfriend's father." Athrun hissed. Kira smiled and greeted Uzumi. "Hello sir. My name is Kira Yamato." Kira said taking his hand. "Please call me Uzumi." Uzumi stated. Kira nodded. "Nice to meet you Mr. Yamato." Uzumi said smiling.
"Daddy this is Athrun Zala, my boyfriend." Cagalli said smiling. Uzumi looked shocked for a bit but then smiled. "Hello there Athrun Zala. Please call me Uzumi." Uzumi said taking Athrun's hand. "Umm . . . Thanks Mr. Uzumi sir." Athrun said sweating. Uzumi laughed and Cagalli smiled and took Athrun's hand. "Calm down Athrun." Cagalli mumbled softly to him. Athrun sighed and tried to calm his nerves. "Sorry just a bit nervous." Athrun said with a chuckle.
"That is a good tribute to have. Honesty." Uzumi said as they took the boys luggage to the limo. "A limo wow." Athrun muttered. "You know your not the only famous one Mr. Zala." Cagalli said smiling. A barking brought there talking to a halt. "Oh my goodness, Kathryn." Cagalli said squatting down to see there puppy. "And who is this?" Uzumi pointed to the cage. "It's my puppy, Kathryn. Athrun got her for me." Cagalli said smiling. Uzumi nodded and they all loaded into the limo.
)--00--00--(
"I have the guest rooms set up. Mr. Zala the room next to Cagalli's is yours. Mr. Elsman yours is across from Milly's and Mr. Yamato yours is past Lacus's to the right." Mana, Cagalli's maid said happily to see all the girls so happy with there boy friends. "So Cagalli get changed so we can get going." Lacus said happily. "Right, right." Cagalli said entering her room and changed into the outfit Lacus picked out for her.
Cagalli left her room, she was wearing a short skirt that was only a strip, it was green and blue-ish. She wore a sky blue shirt with a jean jacket. Athrun blinked at her before he could fall over. "Wow." Kira muttered. Athrun smiled and Cagalli could read what he was thinking. "Let's go. Where going to see Lacus's dad." Cagalli said wrapping an arm around Athrun's shoulders. Athrun nodded numbly.
)--00--00--(
"Daddy! I'm home!" Lacus called out. "Lacus?" Sigel asked walking out of his study. Lacus quickly pulled him into a hug. "Glad your home Lacus." Sigel said smiling. "Hey Mr. Sigel!" Cagalli greeted and walked over and she gave him a quick hug. "Daddy this is Dearka and Athrun. Dearka is Milly's boyfriend and Athrun is Cagalli's boyfriend." Lacus said smiling. "Ah an Attha got her claws hooked into a man." Sigel said. "Ha funny Sigel." Cagalli said with a tart laugh. "You know I'm kidding Cagalli." Sigel said smiling. Cagalli smiled and gave him a quick finger flick.
Mean while Kira was sweating bullets. "Relax Kira. Don't worry." Athrun mocked. "Shut it." Kira mumbled. "Daddy, this is my boyfriend Kira." Lacus said bring over Kira. "Hi there Mr. Sigel." Kira said with a wave. Sigel sized him up then smiled.
)--00--00--(
"So you and Cagalli and Lacus seem to have a tighter connection then I thought. Why?" Kira asked as they sat down for tea. Cagalli sat on one side of Sigel and Lacus on the other. "Well Cagalli here seemed to lived here when she was younger. He and Lacus had a strong connection." Sigel said smiling. Cagalli gave a wink to Lacus who only gave out a small giggle.
Athrun smiled at the two girls. 'Even though it seemed that Milly and Cagalli were more alike it seemed Lacus and Cagalli seemed to share a deeper bond.' Athrun thought taking a sip of tea. "A nice choice outfit for you Ms. Attha. Did Lacus pick it out?" Sigel asked. Lacus made a puffy face and crossed her arms at her father while Cagalli let out a giggle. "Yes she did. She wanted me to impress my boyfriend." Cagalli said as she placed her hand on Athrun's thigh. Athrun seemed to jump at her touch but didn't show it. "Ah I see. Aren't you Zala's boy?" Sigel asked. "I don't know why that is important Sigel." Cagalli commented before Athrun could say anything.
"I was just saying Cagalli. Calm yourself. It just doesn't fit in with the Zala code for there son to date a natural." Sigel said softly. "I think my parents have nothing to do with my feelings of who I must love." Athrun said showing no emotion. "You're a wise boy." Sigel said softly, "As a second father to Cagalli I must say you are perfect for her." Sigel said giving Cagalli a smile.
)--00--00--(
"What a long day." Cagalli said falling back on her bed. "Cagalli." Athrun called. "What is it Athrun?" Cagalli asked sitting up on her elbows. "I just wanted to see your room. Cream, as I thought." Athrun said laying down next to her on her bed. "Oh you can judge me so well?" Cagalli asked. "Well yeah. I know your whole body and soul, Cagalli." Athrun said kissing her cheek. Cagalli giggled and started to play with the ends of his hair. "Do you like my hair?" Athrun asked after noticing how she played with it.
"Yeah. You have pretty boy hair." Cagalli said with a laugh. "Really?" Athrun asked almost concerned. "Do you care what I think?" Cagalli asked with a smile. "Well yeah." Athrun said bluntly. "I like you hair okay." Cagalli said smiling. "Good I didn't want to break up with you because of my hair." Athrun said closing his eyes. "Huh?" Cagalli asked snapping her own eyes opened. "You wouldn't!" Cagalli warned. "And who's to say I won't?" Athrun asked opening an eye to look at her. "My foot you won't." Cagalli said getting pissed that he would even think of it. "I know. I didn't mean to worry you." Athrun said kissing her.
"Your mean." Cagalli stated. Athrun gave her a look. "Oh no! Not tonight." Cagalli begged. "Okay." Athrun said kissing her cheek. "Not even a little?" Athrun asked standing. "I'll give you this." Cagalli said standing and letting her fingers play with his hair as she kissed him. Athrun pushed her up again the bed post. "Athrun, you promised." Cagalli said breathlessly. "I won't." Athrun whispered into her ear and pulled away. "You just want me to beg you jerk." Cagalli said rudely. "You asked for it first Ms. Attha." Athrun said walking out.

Lacus sat in her pink room reading a book in the corner. Kira entered her quietly. "Lacus!" Kira said jumping up and scaring her. "Ah!" Lacus yelped falling out of her chair. "Ah! I'm sorry Lacus I didn't mean for you to fall out of the chair." Kira said helping her up. "It's okay Kira." Lacus said smiling. "That's good." Kira said smiling. Lacus wrapped an arm around her neck and pulled him down to her bed for a kiss. "L-Lacus." Kira said blushing.
Lacus held a small blush as well. "Are you saying-? Do you-?" Kira questioned his face red. "I want you to stay with me tonight. I don't want to do 'that'." Lacus said blushing. Kira sighed and smiled. "You right Lacus." Kira said as he pulled her into a hug laying in her bed. "It feels just right now." Lacus said happily. Kira smiled and cuddled until he fell asleep.
)--00--00--(
Milly was hanging out with Dearka in his room. "So I umm hear about Cagalli and Athrun." Dearka said mumbling. "Really? What do you think about it?" Milly asked with a small blush. "I think we should follow suit." Dearka said smiling happily. Milly blushed a deep red. "I- I don't think I am ready for that yet Dearka." Milly said softly. Dearka nodded and sat next to her on the bed. "I won't push you Milly." Dearka said smiling.
Milly held her own small smile. Dearka cupped her cheek and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Only when you are ready." Dearka said smiling. Milly nodded. "You know Dearka, sometimes you act like a total buffoon and then other times you are the sweetest and greatest guy ever." Milly said smiling. "And what do you think I am now?" Dearka asked standing, posing for her. "A buffoon now, sit down." Milly said happily. "Can I stay over tonight. You know to get settled in?" Dearka asked. Milly gave him a side glance. He gave her a puppy face. "Fine." she said laughing.
)--00--00--(
Cagalli tossed in her bed. It was so empty. She got up to have a midnight walk. She looked for Milly or Lacus to join her but she saw both of them had Kira or Dearka with them sleeping. There was no way she would break that up. She knew she was going crazy without Athrun, so only naturally Lacus and Milly would feel the same. 'Speaking of Zala.' Cagalli thought as she went to his room.
"Athrun?" Cagalli whispered entering his room. She found him asleep on his bed, still not fully unpacked. 'Poor guy must have been so tired.' Cagalli thought and walked past the bed to the balcony. "What a lovely night. Closing time, Open all the doors and let you out into the world, Closing Time, Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl." Cagalli mumbled the song 'Closing Time'. She felt two warm arms come around her body. "I know who I want to take me home." Athrun mumbled into her hair. Cagalli smiled as she settled back into his arms.
"And who would that be?" Cagalli asked smiling. "You." Athrun said happily. "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." Cagalli sang the last lyrics. "You are quite the singer huh?" Athrun asked. "Only when I'm tired." Cagalli said softly. "Then do you wanna come to bed?" Athrun asked. Cagalli nodded, feeling sleep coming over her. Athrun picked her up bridle style and took Cagalli to her room. "Athrun, stay." Cagalli mumbled pulling on his sleeve. "I thought you didn't-" Athrun started. "Just hold me, please." Cagalli pleaded. Athrun smiled and slipped into Cagalli's bed next to her. He laid there sleeping holding her close.
)--00--00--(
Athrun awoke the next morning with Cagalli no where in sight. He searched for her though. He searched the room and then looked out into the hall finding Kira and Dearka looking as scared as he did. "Ah 'Morning Mr. Zala, Elsman, Yamato." Mana said smiling as she picked dirty cloths from the hall and placing them into a big basket. "Mana where is Cagalli?" Athrun questioned. "And Lacus?", "And Milly?" Kira and Dearka added. "Why sir's they are already up and dressed. Down stairs eating there breakfast." Mana said with a curt nod and left the boys in the hall.
Athrun and the Kira hurried to there room to change. Dearka went back into his room. Soon the boys walked out and made there way down the main stair case to find Cagalli, Lacus, and Milly happily chatting with Uzumi. "Ah good morning boys." Uzumi called. Cagalli and Lacus turned to see the boys standing there. Cagalli got up and lead the boys to the table. Athrun took a seat close to Cagalli, Kira close to Lacus, and Dearka of course near Milly. "What time did you get up this morning?" Athrun questioned as maids came and poured milk and orange juice for the boys. "6 am. In this house we normally do." Cagalli said smiling.
"So we got out schedules today." Cagalli said happily handing over the schedules to everyone. "Thankyou." Lacus said as she took hers. "So what do you have first Lacus?" Cagalli asked sitting down. "Ah, Ms. Murrue political history." Lacus said looking over her schedule. "Really me too." Cagalli and Milly said at the same time. The girls let out a giggle. "How can you tell?" Kira asked turning his schedule side ways. "Oh well it shows you room numbers and we all pretty much know where we go." Milly said smiling. "Hey Cags, what do you have second?" Milly asked. "American Government." Cagalli said with a huffy face. "I have my singing class that period." Lacus said. "I have American Gov. too Cags." Milly said smiling.
"The only reason I'm in it is because of him!" Cagalli said pointing to Uzumi. "What? It sounds like a good class." Uzumi said with a shrug. "Third is Biology." Cagalli said happily. Lacus and Milly had that class as well. "Oh cool I have Mr. Mwu fourth period!" Cagalli said happily. "Me too!" Milly and Lacus said once again happily. "Mr. Mwu?" Athrun questioned. "Only the coolest teacher ever!" Cagalli said happily. Lacus nodded to add her senses. Milly joined in, "He has the coolest teacher methods and he is really nice."
"Really then. I can't wait." Dearka said happily. Athrun shook his head and ate some toast. "I can't believe my luck!" Cagalli said happily. "Why?" Milly asked. "Well we get Ms. Murrue and she is cool, then for second is Mr. Neo. Then for third we have Kisaka. And for Fourth I we have Mr. Mwu. That is pretty good teachers if you ask me." Cagalli said standing. "Are you going out?" Uzumi asked as maids came and cleaned the table. "Yeah I want to show the guys around a bit." Cagalli said smiling. "Well when your gone I'm ordering the theme for the corporate ball okay?" Uzumi asked and Cagalli nodded.
)--00--00--(
"The Corporate ball is going to soon." Lacus said amazed at the thought of it coming. "Yeah it was because we where up in the PLANTS and we totally forgot about it." Cagalli said walking with Athrun on her right and Lacus on her left. "Well we start our tour at Rudy's coffee shop." Cagalli said happily. "Why here?" Athrun asked. "Because of Ruby." Milly said rolling her eyes.
The entered and Cagalli and Lacus waved to the boys and Milly to sit down. They did so. The small coffee shop was red with red and white tiled floors. The two wide windows at the front of the shop had maroon curtains hanging loosely from the gold railings. There was a long wooden bar on the side of the place. Lacus and Cagalli placed them selves on two stools as a red headed girl made her way towards them. They chatted and giggled a bit and that's when Cagalli turned pointing out the boys. Ruby nodded and followed after Lacus and Cagalli as they came to the table.
"Guys, this is Ruby." Cagalli said sitting in Athrun's lap. She pointed to the middle aged women with short curly red hair, a tight face constricted in to a sound and yet gentle smile. "Hello." they said all at once. "Well hello there." Ruby greeted. "Ruby this is Athrun mine, Kira, Lacus's and Dearka who is Milly's." Cagalli said pointing. "Well are you going to stay to eat?" Ruby asked. "Nah I just wanted to show them the friendliest coffee shop in town." Cagalli said making Ruby giggle. "Please Cags, you flatter me too well." the women said with a wave of her hand. "Well we will come back for lunch so be ready." Cagalli warned. Ruby nodded and let the kids go.
"Let me guess next is tom's turtle house?" Dearka asked. "No but if really want to go to a tom you might wanna watch your back." Cagalli warned. "Anyways we are going to the school now." Lacus said happily. "How? I mean I can't see a school from here and I know we aren't going to walk." Athrun questioned. "Hello subway." Cagalli said making Athrun sound stupid. "Keep it up and we'll see tonight." Athrun warned. Cagalli stuck her tongue out at him and walked toward a sub station.
"Hello girls. School doesn't start today what are you doing out?" a cop asked stopping them. "Where showing our boy friends out Detective Smith." Lacus said smiling. "And yes I finally hooked one ya old man!" Cagalli yelled clenching her fist. "So you want to challenge me in pin pong already Attha, bring it." the cop said. Athrun looked confused at how Cagalli acted with everyone in main city of Orb from when she was in the PLANTS. She seemed a lot more free. 'I mean she's picking a fight with a cop.' Athrun thought as he could see sparks between the two.
"Well you girls go have fun." the cop said with a wave. Cagalli nodded and they boarded the subway. "Good to see old man Smith is still here." Cagalli said with a smile. Athrun shook his head and Cagalli kissed his cheek. "I love you." she said in a mocking tone. "Bite me." Athrun replied. "Anytime anywhere." Cagalli said licking her lips. "Okay didn't need to hear his answer Cagalli." Lacus said covering her ears.
They soon entered a tunnel and things got very dark. Then you could say there was a light at the end of the tunnel as they opened onto a field of green grass surrounded by tall white buildings. Flowers of many colors were planted into the shape of the school seal in front of the school. In the middle of the castle like structure was a soccer field and foot ball field.
"Now we are going to be in that building for most of the day." Cagalli said as they pasted there second white building. Athrun nodded taking it all in. "We get off here." Milly said standing. As they left the cart the smells of the city were over powered by the fresh smell of flowers and grass. "We'll walk to our classes to just see where they are." Lacus said taking Kira's hand, so no wondering eyes could play "grab the new boy". Cagalli let Athrun drape his arm over her shoulder and Milly let Dearka hold her hand.
)--00--00--(
"So Mr. Mwu should be here." Cagalli said as she made her way down another long hall. "Attha!" some boy shouted in shock. Cagalli turned to look down the hall. "Holly shit it is Attha! Hey Stellar look it's Attha!" shouted a black haired boy with fire red eyes. "Shinn you asshole get your ass over here!" Cagalli yelled as she ran down the hall and put the boy in a headlock. "God dammit Attha let me go!" Shinn demanded. A girl with blond hair and pink eyes wandered over as well.
"Hey Stellar." Milly greeted with a wave. "Milly!" the girl shouted happily and gave her a hug. "Athrun, Kira, Dearka this is Shinn." Lacus said pointing to the boy Cagalli had in a head lock. "And this is Stellar." Milly said as the girl that was latched on her let go.
"Hello my name is Stellar. I live with Shinn. We are close friends. He puts his lips on mine and tells me it's a kiss." Stellar said happily. Shinn cut her off though finally getting out of Cagalli's head lock. "That's enough Stellar." Shinn said with a blush. "So Mr. Mwu is in his room?" Cagalli asked. Shinn nodded.
Cagalli ran down the hall. "Mr. Mwu!" she shouted once she entered a room. "Ms. Attha!" a male voice shouted. Athrun ran into the class and saw Cagalli in the arms of an older man with blond hair and blue eyes smiling. A protective feeling consumed Athrun which made him want to snatch Cagalli away from him though. "Oh Mr. Mwu this is my boy friend Athrun we have you fourth period." Cagalli said happily walking over to Athrun and taking his hand in hers. "Ah I get graced with another Attha class this year?" Mwu questioned as he moved a stack of books from one desk to the other. "Yep. But we gotta go." Cagalli said with a wink. Mwu nodded. "Okay can't wait to see you on Monday Ms. Attha." Mwu said waving.
)--00--00--(
Athrun smiled as he walked hand in hand with Cagalli to the coffee shop. The once gloomy feel was now more lively and happy. The sun shine helped it a lot. "Well are you working a sift?" a girl with long black hair asked throwing a apron on Cagalli's head. "Dammit Trish!" Cagalli cursed. Throwing off the apron from her head.
Ruby came holding a tray of food. "Do you mind working Cagalli. I promise I'll give you a raise." Ruby pleaded as more people came into the restaurant. "Fine I'll go change but you own me." Cagalli said stalking into the back.
"What was that?" Athrun asked as they took the last big table opened. "Cagalli works here and she has been off for a while." Lacus informed. "Yeah she normally works everyday at 6 to 10." Milly said as she picked up a menu. "Pick something and we'll tell Cagalli." Lacus said handing over a menu.
"Speak of the devil." Milly said a smile forming on her lips. Cagalli walk from the back with a flat, red mini skirt and button up white shirt, short sleeved. "Nice to see you back Ms. Attha." a man said placing his news paper down. "Oh thanks Mr. Arnold." Cagalli said smiling. The man nodded and placed his order.
"Hey guys ready?" Cagalli asked stopping at there table. "Umm yeah." Kira said looking over at the menu one last time. "You have to wear all these sexy cloths to tease me don't you?" Athrun whispered into her ear. Cagalli pulled back and gave him a wink. Athrun smiled at her and then placed his order. Kira and Dearka followed suit. "We'll have the regular." Lacus said smiling. "Okay." Cagalli said with a nod. As Cagalli walked off she swagger her but a bit toward Athrun making some men watch Cagalli and ignoring there girlfriends. "Oh I can't to get home, till tonight." Athrun mumbled feeling his mouth water. Lacus smiled as she talked happily with Kira. Milly and Dearka chatted a bit.
Before too long had past Cagalli came pack with there food. "Enjoy guys. I'll be back soon." Cagalli said with a wave as she went to delivering an ice cream cone to a 5 year old who was sitting with her mother and father. Athrun watched as the small girl sitting with her family gave Cagalli a hug for bringing her the ice cream. Athrun watched as it seemed everyone knew who Cagalli was around. It soon began to empty out a small chatter filled most of the room.
Cagalli sighed as she sat down next to Athrun and mooched some of his French fries. She had thankfully changed back into her shirt and jeans. "Cagalli! That's a paying costumer you can't take his food!" Trish, the black haired girl said pointing a finger at her. "Well I guess that means I can get it back." Athrun said and pulled her close and into a kiss. Cagalli happily returned it. "Cagalli! No frenching with the customers!" Trish shouted. Cagalli turned back to her with a smile. "Get over it he's my boyfriend okay." Cagalli said rolling her eyes.
"So long have you been working here Cagalli?" Dearka asked also seeing as everyone knew her. "Since my Jr. year in high school. So I guess about 5 years." Cagalli said thinking. "Could I work here?" Kira asked. Cagalli blinked. "I was wondering as well." Athrun said. Cagalli thought about it. "Well Lacus works here as well. Ask Ruby she will know." Cagalli said looking for the red hair lady.
"I'll ask tomorrow." Athrun said smiling. "What makes you think were coming tomorrow?" Cagalli asked. "Well you work here." Kira said as they all stood to leave. "Well I don't feel like coming in tomorrow." Cagalli pouted. "Fine I'll call Stellar to see if she can take over for you." Ruby said and placed her tray of dirty plates down. "Thanks." Cagalli said. "Also Athrun and Kira wanted to know if they could work here too." Cagalli stated. Ruby looked towards the boys and nodded. "Sure. We could use good hands in the back." Ruby smiling. "You got the job congrats. You start Monday." Ruby said picking up the plates and started to clean up.

Milly entered her room and laid on her bed. She was tired. After lunch they had gone playing tour guide to down town Orb. Cagalli had a lot of fun and Lacus as enjoyed it. Milly on the other hand was tired and almost fell asleep during dinner. Dearka was so sweet to carry up to her room. He was currently outside waiting for her. They where going to watch the stars with Lacus and Kira. Cagalli was beat as well from working and was either making love with Athrun or asleep in his arms.
"Are you ready Milly?" Dearka asked knocking on her door. "Yeah I'm good." Milly said after she changed from her orange dress into sweat pants and a shirt.
She left the room and walked past Cagalli's room and heard nothing. Milly wanted to see what was going on. If they were making love she would be scared for life but if not then it would be sweet. Milly quickly popped her head in the room though Dearka protested. Cagalli was laying on her bed Athrun on the other side, his arms wrapped around her body holding her protectively as if someone was going to take her, so he would be ready.
Milly pulled her head back and sighed. "Do you want me to hold you like that?" Dearka asked wrapping arms around her. "Nah." Milly said leaning her head back onto his shoulder. "That is the 'we just made love, I'm not going to let you go' hug." Milly said. "Well can I put you in the 'Hey we're just sitting under the stars and in love' hug?" Dearka asked. "Hmmmm yeah. I like that." Milly said as they made there way down stairs and sat in the lawn chairs, Milly in his lap.
"Dearka do you think I nag you a lot?" Milly asked out of no where breaking there lovely silence. "You mean like 'the nagging girlfriend'?" Dearka asked. "Yeah." Milly confirmed. "Would nagging wife make you happier?" Dearka asked. Milly's eyes opened wide and she turned to look shocked at him. "Are you asking me to marry you?" Milly asked shocked. "Well maybe not now. But I want to get married to you Milly. I love you." Dearka said smiling. Milly settled herself back onto his shoulder and smiled. "Yeah. I see that too." Milly said smiling.

Lacus sat happily in Kira's arms. Under the stars, in Kira's arms. (A/N: hey that rhymed. XP) "You know when I was little I thought stars where fire flies, you know stuck in a big blue-ish black thing." Lacus said waving her hand up at the stars. "Well as you know now that they're made of burning gases and other things." Kira said smiling. "Yeah but it's it nice to thing of it that way again?" Lacus asked waving her hand around in the air like it was water. "I guess so." Kira said smiling.
"Lacus I know this seems weird and we may not be ready but-" Kira started and got onto one knee in front of her. "Kira?" Lacus asked her hands going up to her mouth and covering it as tears appeared in her eyes. "Lacus will you marry me?" Kira asked opening the small box showing a diamond on a sliver band. "Of course I will!" Lacus shouted crying. Kira smiling stood and slipped the ring on her finger. He pulled her into a deep kiss.
"I love you Lacus" Kira said happily. "I love you too Kira." Lacus said smiling. She was pulled into a deep hug. "Thankyou for saying yes. I was so nervous." Kira said smiling. "Of course I would say yes. I love you Kira. Like I said before. I would never go off to someone else knowing you're here for me." Lacus said smiling. Kira pulled her into another hug.

Cagalli entered the kitchen to find Milly, Lacus, Kira, Dearka, and Athrun all dressed and eating. "Well look who's late." Lacus said smiling. "I'm not late. I am just not here when you all arrived." Cagalli said with a pout. Lacus smiled as Athrun kissed her pouted lips.
"So Lacus you seem to be glowing this morning." Cagalli pointed out. "Is it because of your boyfriend?" Milly teased. "Well actually my fiancé." Lacus said holding up her hand. "Wow look at that rock!" Cagalli said shocked grabbing Lacus's hand to get a better look. "Congratulations Lacus." Milly said happily patting her shoulder. Cagalli only nodded still looking at the ring.
Athrun's mind wondered. 'Who Cagalli be this proud and happy if he asked her to marry him?' Athrun questioned himself. He couldn't get that thought out of his head. Cagalli seeing in his dazed state waved a hand in his face. Athrun blinked and came back to life seeing Cagalli's hand. He caught it from waving to show he was awake. "Well glad to see you are all up." Uzumi said walking into the dining room where they all had moved.
"They decided to move the ball to next week. I will take the boys out for tux's fittings." Uzumi said opening the news paper to read it. The boys blinked at him. "Daddy, Lacus and Kira and engaged." Cagalli informed her father without letting excitement out of her voice. Uzumi dropped the paper he was reading and watched as Kira got to the color of a tomato. "That's great." Uzumi finally said making Kira sigh. Lacus let out a giggle. "You girls are to go out as well. Take Mana with you. She'll be able to help." Uzumi said smiling. The girls nodded.

Uzumi sat next to Athrun as Kira was measured by the tailors to get a fitted tux. "You know Cagalli hates these things." Uzumi informed Athrun. Athrun looked him and nodded slowly. "I don't think she'll mind that much this year though." Uzumi said smiling. "Uzumi if you are trying to say that Cagalli is too good for me I won't stay here any longer." Athrun said his eyes hardening a bit.
Uzumi let out a tart laugh. Athrun's eyes widened a bit. "Athrun my boy. I live in Orb for a reason. Weather a person is better at something than an other means nothing to me. I believe that people can follow there own hearts instead of others then the world be a better place. I also believe that Cagalli can make her own choices on whom she may want to marry with. Parents cannot make there kids do what they want, or what they think is best for them. I know I hated that when I was a kid and I know that Cagalli is her own soul. I shall not take that away from her." Uzumi preached. The people in the shop listened and stopped what they where doing, now started working again. "It looks like I got carried away again." Uzumi said smiling. Athrun shook his head. "What you said puts a lot of things in perspective to me. Even if I got married to Cagalli I can't stop her from doing stupid things or other stupid choices." Athrun said smiling.
"Did you already think about that?" Athrun asked lifting his head to Kira who was standing before them. "Of course I did. I mean I thought if I was good enough for her. Weather she would be trapped by me, or weather she would say yes or no. I thought about it for days and nights, dreamed about it. I thought that maybe if I wait longer, but then I thought what if she sees someone else. Lacus is the best thing in my life now. I put her first above all." Kira said smiling. Some of the ladies working there let out a romantic sigh.
"That's nice Kira." Dearka said smiling. "What about you and Milly?" Athrun questioned as Dearka stood next him sipping a coke. "I want to go her pace. I can wait. I hope and pray that she doesn't leave me. Don't I don't want to push her. I can't force her to love me and vice versa. But I figure if I wait there will be a time when she will say, 'Hey Dearka I love you I am happy that I married you.' That's the day I wait for." Dearka said smiling. Uzumi nodded. "What about you and Cagalli?" Kira asked.
Athrun let out an uneasy sigh. "Don't worry about me. Cagalli is free from me the day she got her car." Uzumi said that made the boys laugh. "Well Cagalli is great. I can't think of anyone I would rather be with. She is great and I just wonder if I'm good enough for her? Can I give her everything thing she wants and needs? I wonder it all the time. Day and night and then I see her smile at me and I know somehow it will all work out. No matter what." Athrun said smiling.
"Well it seems you boys are in the right frame of mind. I'm glad that one day all of you will be married to the girls I think of as daughters." Uzumi said as he stood to get fitted for his cloths. "I would kill to have a boyfriend like them." a lady said as she entered the sizes in the computer. The other lady sighed dreamily.
