Chapter 12
Athrun and Cagalli entered the charred house. A small blue sofa was tarred and broken sat lonely in the living room. Stairs broken and smashed through let to the stars as the roof was completely gone. "Are you sure you lived here?" Athrun questioned looking around. There, on the mantel was a picture of a blond, and three burnets. Athrun walked toward it and grabbed the picture.
"That is a picture of my family." Cagalli said taking hold of Athrun's arm. Athrun looked at the picture. Something was very familiar about it. Cagalli noticed his face and tugged on his sleeve. "Huh? Oh sorry. It's just this looks like a picture Kira has." Athrun said. "Take it with you." Athrun said handing her the picture. Cagalli gratefully grabbed it and held it close.
"So tell me what happened." Athrun said taking a seat on an solid floor board. Cagalli placed her self next to him, which Athrun pulled her onto his lap.
Cagalli sighed but started, "Well it started, that day. It started like this…"
Flash Back
Cagalli smiled and touched her face. She was happy today. She had passed her exams and was getting ready to enter a really good high school. She got into the same on as her brother. He was such a smarty pants she was surprised. … was great in school. Not that she wasn't. Just she didn't like it as much.
… walked into her room. "Hello …" Cagalli said smiling. "Hey Cagalli. Hurry down for school." … said.
Later that day
Cagalli entered the house quietly. "Hello Cagalli." her mother greeted. "Crap…" Cagalli mumbled. "I heard you got report cards today. Your brother got straight A's. What about you?" her mother greeted showing a soft face from the kitchen. Her father also stood tasting a stew on the stove. "Well here." Cagalli mumbled and handed over the paper.
"Cagalli! You got a C!" her father shouted. "Yes." Cagalli mumbled looking at her feet. "Why do we even put up with you! We even kept your brother back in standard classes to help you! He could be a genus but no we held him back for you!" Her mother screamed.
Cagalli's temper flared. "Mom! Dad!" she shouted shutting up both parents. "I am different then …! I am not that smart! I am a great sports player! Look at that 3 extra classes of sports and all I got was one C!" Cagalli shouted.
A slap rang through the kitchen. "Don't you ever raise your voice at us again!" her mother warned holding her hand. "You just don't understand!" Cagalli screamed a ran out the door.
Flash Back over
"I ran to Lacus's house. I still don't know who he was." Cagalli muttered. "That evening a fire started in the oven." Cagalli sighed. Athrun nodded. "Well I went to live with Lacus." Cagalli mumbled. "I just met her a month before though. We became great friends before I had to move in with my uncle." Cagalli muttered.
"Well don't worry about it Cagalli. With that ring on your finger I promise you that you will never, ever be alone again." Athrun said kissing her. "Thankyou Athrun." Cagalli said leaning into his chest.

Lacus and the others sat in there new drama class. "Welcome everyone. My name is Gilbert Dullindal and I will be helping you out with the play we are going to perform later this year." Gil said making everyone quite. "May I ask what play?" Lacus questioned, her hand raised. "Ah, Ms. Clyne I may ask?" Gil asked making Lacus nod. "We are going to be presenting 'Wicked'." Gil said holding up a script.
Lacus and Cagalli seemed to perk up. "Wicked! I love that musical!" Lacus said happily. "A musical?" Yzak questioned confused. "Uh duh!" Cagalli said happily. "Well Ms. Attha seems to know what is it. You may explain." Gil said, he was doing this just so he could see Cagalli's stage presence.
"Wicked is about this. Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most greatest play in years." Cagalli said taking a stand on the stage, center.
Gil smiled at Cagalli as she looked at him. "That's true. Thankyou Ms. Attha." Gil said. "And judging by our two miss actress. Lacus will be playing Glinda and Cagalli can be Elphaba." Gil said smiling. Lacus and Cagalli looked at each other and blinked. "I'm evil." Cagalli said blinking. "I'm blond." Lacus said laughing.

After a week or two of working together and endless nights of being out of there home, Lacus and Cagalli had to perform there first scene to everyone. Cagalli bit her lower lip but Lacus just smiled. "Okay girls." Gil said sitting down as the others watched the girl take a deep breath and move to either side of the stage. A piano started up and played for the girls.
Lacus sat proper in her chair and pretended to write a letter, "Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical." she said in a cute high pitched voice.
"My dear Father." Cagalli mumbled in character pretending to write a letter as well.
"There's been some confusion Over rooming here at Shiz." they both said together.
"But of course, I'll care for Nessa." Cagalli sang standing. "But of course, I'll rise above it." Lacus sang standing as well.
"For I know that's how you'd want me to respond. Yes, there's been some confusion. For you see, my room-mate is…" they sang together looking at each other.
"Unusually and exceedingly peculiar. And altogether quite impossible to describe." Lacus sang in a soft voice.
"Blonde!" Cagalli said placing her hand on her hips, getting a chuckle at the on lookers of the play.
"What is this feeling? So sudden and new?" Lacus sang. (Normal Lacus, Bold Cagalli, Both)
I felt it the moment I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
My face is flushing
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes: Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
For your face
Your voice
Your clothing
Let's just say - I loathe it all
Every little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure and strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!
"Dear Galinda, you are just too good. How do you stand it? I don't think I could! She's a terror! She's a Tartar! We don't mean to show a bias, But Galinda, you're a martyr!" The students sang. "Well these things are sent to try us!" Lacus said with a shrug.
"Poor Galinda, forced to reside With someone so disgusticified We all just want to tell you: We're all on your side! We share your:" The students sang again. (Students)
What is this feeling Loathing
So sudden and new? Unadulterated loathing
I felt the moment For her face, her voice
I laid eyes on you Her clothing
My pulse is rushing Let's just say:
My head is reeling We loathe it all!
Oh, what is this feeling? Every little trait
Does it have a name? Makes our very flesh
Yes: Begin to crawl:.
Ahhh: Ahhh:
Loathing!
There's a strange exhilaration Loathing
In such total detestation Loathing
So pure, so strong Loathing
So strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing Loathing
For forever loathing Loathing
Truly deeply loathing Loathing you
My whole Loathing
Life long! Unadulterated loathing
Cagalli walked behind Lacus. "Boo!" Cagalli yelled. "Eeeek!" Lacus said running off stage.
Everyone clapped as the girls walked back on stage and took a bow. "Who would have thought they were so good at this." Yzak said smiling for once. "We use to do this all the time as kids." Lacus said laughing. "Same characters too." Cagalli said smiling.
"Glad to see you happy Cagalli." Kira said placing a hand on her shoulder. "Why do you say that?" Cagalli asked. "Well you have been looking down lately and you have had me worried." Kira said smiling. Athrun watched Kira confused. He pulled him aside.
"Kira?" Athrun asked. "Yes?" Kira asked. "Your Cagalli's twin aren't you?" Athrun asked sternly. "Yeah. I am." Kira said softly. "When did you know?" Athrun asked. "The first day I met her." Kira said looking at his feet. "Then why not tell her." Athrun said softly. "I don't want her to be.. I don't know." Kira shrugged. "Well tell her. She wants to know you as her brother Kira." Athrun whispered.
"What are you whispering about?" Shiho questioned. "Nothing!" Kira yelped. "Sure." Shiho pouted. "Cagalli, may I have a word?" Kira asked. Cagalli nodded. Lacus looked confused but Athrun gave her a reassuring smile. Lacus nodded.
"What is it Kira?" Cagalli asked. "Well… umm. I'm … well." Kira muttered scratching his head trying to find the right words. "what is it Kira?" Cagalli asked. "Well Cagalli. I'm your brother!" Kira said dropping his hands to his side. "What?" Cagalli asked bewildered. "Look." Kira said taking a picture from his pocket.
"That's me! And you!" Cagalli said shocked. Kira nodded. "Ki-ra." Cagalli mumbled then through her hands around him. "Kira.." she cried. Athrun and Lacus smiled from afar.
)--00--00--(
Cagalli slept quietly next to Athrun and in between Kira. "She looks so calm." Kira said gazing at his sister. "Looks better then before." Athrun commented. "How so?" Kira questioned.
"Well before when she slept of anything, she confused or something. It was hard to place a emotion on it." Athrun said moving some of her bangs. "I guess so." Kira muttered softly. Athrun left out a soft laugh and placed himself against the tree again.
)--00--00--(
Milly and Dearka had settled them selves under a nice shady tree. "So I was going to look for a wedding dress soon and then we can get married at the end of November." Milly said smiling leaning her head on Dearka's shoulder. "Hmm, sure." Dearka said kissing his forehead. "As long as I can be with you." Dearka sat pulling an arm around her waist.
"Of course silly." Milly said kissing his head.
)--00--00--(
"This sucks!" Shiho shouted. "What is it?" Yzak asked in a groggy tone, he was just about to fall asleep in the stands of the gym before Shiho screamed. "That!" Shiho shouted pointing at a guy flirting with Lacus, another one looking at her butt as she bent over to fix her shoes.
"Why so she's hot. Nothing wrong in that." Yzak huffed as he settled himself back down in the seats to sleep again. "Some support you are!" Shiho huffed and trampled down the stands to Lacus. Yzak looked lazily up and saw Shiho whisper in Lacus's ear. She nodded and followed Shiho back up to where he was.
"Yzak's lazy ass didn't want to help!" Shiho huffed and plopped herself next to him. "So what. If you can fall into a flirt that fast then you don't deserve to be in a relationship in the first place." Yzak said getting pissed. Lacus sat and looked at her shoes.
"Yzak! Shut up ass hole!" Shiho shouted, "Lacus don't listen to him." Lacus looked down at her shoes sadly. "No he's right." Lacus mumbled. "Hey Lacus!" Cagalli's voice called.
The group looked over to find Cagalli trotting up the stands while Kira and Athrun played basketball. Lacus looked up at Cagalli with a worried face. "Lacus, smile, smile." Cagalli said using her index fingers to lift the sides of her own mouth into a smile. "Yeah." Lacus mumbled sadly and looked at her shoes again.
Flash back
"Hey Lacus! Look at these jeans! They make me look great! I beat we could find you a pair too!" "No. It's okay. I don't look good in anything." "Of course you do! It wouldn't hurt you to show some curves."
"Lacus! Hey Lacus!" Shiho said waving a hand in front of Lacus's face. "Huh?" Lacus asked confused. "Cagalli said she was going to play basketball with the boys. Yzak is joining them, so I just wanted to know, Why are you so quite?" Shiho said softly.
"Well nothing." Lacus said softly. "Are you insecure?" Shiho asked softly. Lacus's eyes widened as she sat back. "N-No! Not at all why-" Lacus started but then saw Cagalli make Athrun drop the basketball by kissing him on the cheek, making him freeze and Cagalli to score. "Why to go Cags!" Shiho said clapping an waving. Cagalli gave her a thumbs up and wink.
"Lacus I can tell how you feel. You want to feel good about yourself, but you can't find anything you like, right?" Shiho questioned.
Lacus nodded slowly. "I try to be confident in myself. Kira, with him around, I feel so good about my self. To see him smile when I do brings joy to my face. But now that Cagalli has found out that Kira is her brother they have been spending a lot of time together. I just don't feel the same." Lacus said watching Cagalli and Kira take on Yzak and Athrun.
"So you feel insecure to Cagalli?" Shiho asked and watched as Yzak and Athrun tried to double team up on Kira who had the ball. "Not just to Cagalli. To you, to Milly, to every girl out there." Lacus whispered. Kira shot the ball and made it giving a high five to Cagalli.
"This isn't the first time either." Lacus whispered. Shiho looked at her contently. "It all began like this…" Lacus whispered.
Flash back
Lacus was sitting in her flower class she had everyday. "Hey look it's pinky! Nice pink hair pinky!" a girl older then the 5 year old Lacus said poking her. "It's- It's not my fault my hair is pink. It ca-came this way." Lacus mumbled. "Sorry pinky! I didn't hear you. Your hair is too bright!" the girl said laughing along with her friends.
"S-Stop it!" Lacus mumbled back. "Why pink!" argued.
"Because she said so!" came a demanding voice. Lacus turned along with the bullies. A girl with short blond hair and a spunky look glared at the bullies. "Why should we listen to you blondy!" shouted the bully. "Because I said so!" the blond said glaring.
"No!" the bullies said and grabbed Lacus's hair. "Ahh!" Lacus yelped.
Lacus opened her eyes the next moment and saw the bullies on the ground. One had flowers stuck in her mouth. "mmfl Cagalli!" shouted the bully. "Better watch out. That's a hybrid of Wolf's bane. Lucky for you, it's not as toxic as the pure form. But a poison is still a poison. If I were you I would wash my mouth out." Cagalli said grinning.
"Ahh! Teacher!" the girls screamed and ran. Lacus looked over and saw the blond, Cagalli, sit down next to her. "A nice day huh?" she asked. "Umm yeah sure." Lacus mumbled. "Hey did you-?" Lacus started. "Those idiots. The root is the poisoned part." Cagalli said sticking out her tough.
'She's so cool.' Lacus thought watching as Cagalli sat back in the fields of flowers. "You know, your hair." Cagalli said looking at Lacus's back. "I know it's ugly. Stupid pinky right?" Lacus asked. Some of it fell into her face. "No silly. It's pretty. You just need to show some of your pretty eyes." Cagalli said standing and pulling something out of her pocket.
"My daddy gave this to me a long time ago but I never wear it. I think you could use it more then I can." Cagalli said placing a gold curve clip that separated her bangs. "Plus I look pretty with out it. Don't you think so?" Cagalli asked sitting back. Lacus touched her new clip and blinked. "Umm yeah." Lacus agreed. "Then why did you wait to answer." Cagalli said laughing.
Lacus laughed as well. "Your hair reminds me of sakura petals." Cagalli said running a hand though Lacus's hair. "What's sakura?" Lacus asked confused. "Your in a flower class and you don't even know that a Sakura is a cherry blossom. Wow I thought you where smarter then that." Cagalli laughed. Lacus smiled then giggled along as well.
"What else do you know about flowers?" Lacus asked. "Well I know that the cosmos is an "akizakura" or autumn cherry. The prettiest flower of the fall. The real meaning of the word "cosmos" is "harmony", and it does harmonize with almost everything." Cagalli said braiding Lacus's hair.
"But I think I am prettier then an akizakura." Cagalli said laughing. Lacus looked down at the akizakura in her hand. "But you know, sakura and akizakura go well with each other." Cagalli said smiling. "T-Thankyou Cagalli." Lacus started crying. "Why are you crying?" Cagalli asked confused. "J-just th-thankyou." Lacus cried.
End flashback
"So that's it. Cagalli gave you encouragement." Shiho said looking as it seemed the game finished and Cagalli and Kira won. Athrun lifted Cagalli up and kissed her cheek. "We won!" Kira said running up and hugging Lacus. "I-I see." Lacus muttered. "What's wrong Lacus?" Kira asked concerned. "Nothing! It's nothing." Lacus said quickly smiling and kissing him.
"Lacus come on! I wanna sit outside and rest. It's too stuffy in here." Cagalli said grabbing Lacus's hand. "Ah! Wait!" Kira mumbled as Cagalli and Lacus ran outside.
)--00--00--(
"Wow, look how long your hair is." Cagalli commented brushing through Lacus's hair. "Really? I haven't noticed." Lacus said looking at her long pink hair. "Of course you didn't silly it was behind you." Cagalli said laughing. Kira and Athrun sat leaning against a tree near by. Milly and Dearka where asleep on a near by tree. Shiho and Yzak sat in a tree near by as well.
"Your pretty sakura hair." Cagalli said giggling. "I am pretty Cagalli." Lacus said as she hair brushed past her face as the wind blew. Kira and Athrun looked at the girls.
"I am pretty! And strong too!" Lacus said turning to face Cagalli who looked a bit shocked. "I-" she started but looked at her hands a bit, "I am a Sakura! I'm a flower!" Lacus said determined. "Ah, so your flower bloomed." Cagalli said pulling her hair and braided it. "What?" Lacus asked shocked. "Lacus, I knew you've bloomed. You've bloomed ever since you met Kira, wait before that. You were steadily blooming ever since that day. I could never forget that day. I met my best friend." Cagalli said smiling.
"C-Cagalli!" Lacus said crying. "Hey don't cry silly!" Cagalli said laughing. Lacus's sobs turned into giggles then to full on laughs. Athrun and Kira looked at each other and started to laugh too. "What are you laughing at?" Cagalli asked and shot flowers at Kira and Athrun. "The hybrid of wolf's bane?" Lacus asked smiling. "Of course." Cagalli said smiling.

Milly awoke and found Lacus and Cagalli asleep on the grass, flowers in Lacus's hair. Athrun and Kira were talking about things and wedding plans. Yzak and Shiho were asleep in the tree. Dearka snored loudly next to her. "What's up guys?" Milly asked rubbing her eyes. "Oh nothing. Cagalli and Lacus were talking about flowers, or hair, or something." Kira muttered looking at his princess who's hair had been braided and flowers tucked in it.
"Ah I see." Milly muttered. A loud thump was heard and a growl of pain. "That hurt!" Yzak shouted. "Serves you right!" Shiho shouted crossing her arms. "What the hell did I do!" Yzak growled at Shiho. "You did nothing! That's the point!" Shiho shouted.
"Shut up!" a eerie voice growled. "Epp!" Shiho mumbled as she jumped from her tree to stand behind Yzak. Cagalli sat up on her knees along with Lacus. "What's going on?" she grumbled as she rubbed her eyes. "Dearka just woke up. He's really grumpy though. Care for a walk to wake your legs up?" Athrun offered a hand out and he was smiling like a prince. "Umm sure." Cagalli said smiling.
"Care to join us?" Cagalli asked Lacus who was being helped up by Kira. "Sure. I saw this one place near by where we can finally test are mad DDR skills." Lacus said laughing. "You girls DDR?" Kira questioned. "Who doesn't?" Cagalli asked, which basically a 'duh'. "Good point. Alright then Athrun I challenge you to a DDR revolution." Kira said proudly. "Anywhere anytime Kira." Athrun said crossing his arms.
"So were going to DDR. What about you guys?" Lacus questioned but noticed both couples male partners were in a heated debate about sleep. "Okay!" Shiho and Milly said and ran to catch out leaving there male partners behind.
)--00--00--(
"Okay now guys we play full on revolution. Are you ready Cagalli? Were going first." Lacus asked as they both stepped up on the dance floor at the arcade they were at. "Of course." Cagalli said smiling. "Full on hard mode Lacus! Love and Joy!" Cagalli said in a serious way. "Love and Joy?" Athrun and Kira questioned. "It's the song." Milly said as Lacus picked the song and Cagalli stretched out a bit. "Oh right! I heard that song I heard it was the hardest level." Shiho said as the screen came on.
The fast pace music started playing. Cagalli and Lacus stepped in perfect forum. "Way to go!" the machine said as they both stepped right on. "Come on Lacus. Your playing so stale." Cagalli taunted as she did a twirl and got extra points. "You too, Cagalli." Lacus said doing a backwards turn, opposed to Cagalli.
"Okay then! Step it up!" Lacus said turning. Her and Lacus did different moves and turns. "Love and Joy can I change my life?" the last part of the song played. "Winner:…" the machine said as both girl watched on. "Players tie." it said.
Cagalli and Lacus laughed as everyone looked on in shock. "So your both okay with this?" Kira asked shocked. "Of course." Cagalli said smiling. "That doesn't sound very Cagalli like." Athrun said smiling. "Well I can't help were so good." Lacus said laughing. "Okay now can we go home. I'm tired." Cagalli complained. "Okay." Athrun said kissing Cagalli's cheek.
)--00--00--(
Athrun purred into her ear a bit as she cuddled with him to stay warm. "It's been a long time since we did that." Athrun said kissing her temple. "Yeah. I have a question though." Cagalli said, her amber eyes looking up at him angelic face in pure innocents. "Okay shoot." Athrun said rubbing her bare arms. "What happened in your past? I mean the past shapes who we are today and seeing how sweet and cute you are I want to know how it happened." Cagalli questioned.
"Well where to start…" Athrun said thinking. Cagalli settled in and they shifted to a better story telling way. "Well I was born on October 28. I remember little. My dad was in the army and we moved a lot. Soon I joined as well." Athrun said making Cagalli's eyes widen. "I hate war." she commented. She sank lower into the bed. "What's wrong Cagalli?" Athrun questioned. "Well the house I was in with Lacus was bombed, by the PLANTS." Cagalli muttered. "In the battle of…" Cagalli started. "SEED spread." they said at the same time. "You!" she asked shocked. "I lead it." Athrun muttered.
"I-I had to spot after that strike." Athrun muttered. "I had taken those lives and I couldn't believe what we did. We attacked thinking there were suits there, there wasn't. And no one cared they burned or shot up anything that moved." Athrun muttered.
"We all do things for a reason Athrun." Cagalli said softly hugging her arms. "I just wish that some things would happen more then others." Cagalli said softly. "Like finding love for the first time." Athrun whispered. "Something like that." Cagalli said softly. "Look Cagalli, I'm sorry about the bombing. If I had known-" Athrun started but stopped as Cagalli placed a finger on his lips. "Shh." she said softly. "I love you." Athrun said kissing her on the lips softly. "So do I. Now let me go to sleep." Cagalli muttered snuggling closer into her covers.

Milly had found her dress and they were currently getting ready for her wedding. The rest of September flew by past fast. Milly's hair was brown ad her veil covered her head. Small flowers cover her and framed her face. Her wedding dress was an off white. Lacus and Cagalli who where dressed in light cream dresses holding wild orange flowers. Milly wanted her wedding to be different.
"Do you Miriallia Hawke take Dearka Elsman as your husband?" the priest asked, "I do." Milly said shyly. "Do you?" the priest asked Dearka. "Of course." he said smiling. Athrun who was standing as best man with Kira smiled toward Cagalli and Lacus who were smiling.
"Have a good honeymoon!" Cagalli shouted waving at the couple who were leaving in a limo. "I will!" Dearka and Milly said as Milly threw her flowers away before she drove away. Lacus caught them and smiled toward Kira. "Us first." Lacus said softly.
"Then us." Athrun said placing a arm around Cagalli. A ringing cell phone broke there conversation. "Oh sorry guys." Athrun said taking the call.
"What's that about?" Kira asked Lacus and Cagalli. Both girls shrugged confused.
)--00--00--(
"Athrun Zala here." Athrun answered his phone. "Athrun." Patrick Zala's voice rang in his ear. "Dad?" Athrun questioned. "Hello Athrun. I'm glad I got to catch you now. I need to ask you a favor." Patrick said sighing in relief.
"What is it Dad?" Athrun asked. "Well you see I need you to-"
)--00--00--(
"A business trip!" Cagalli shouted crossing her arms. "I'm sorry Cagalli." Athrun said packing his bags. "How long will this take?" Cagalli asked pouting sitting on Athrun's bed. "My dad said from 5 months to a year." Athrun said sighing.
"WHAT!" Cagalli shouted shocked. "Athrun…" Cagalli whined like a childe. "I'm sorry Cagalli." Athrun said kissing her cheek. "Athrun your dad doesn't want us together does he?" Cagalli asked plopping down on her back next to him. "W-why would you say that?" Athrun asked a bit scared if Cagalli could see it. "He seems to be sending you away from me and doesn't seem to like me that much." Cagalli said softly.
"Well I don't care what he thinks. I love you." Athrun said smiling. "L-O-V-E, l-o-v-e you love." Cagalli said singing a song making the signs for the letters on her fingers. "Now why don't you go to sleep." Athrun said pushing Cagalli up and out the door.
"What are you hiding Athrun Zala?" Cagalli whispered looking back at the closed door. Athrun also leaned against the door and sadly smiled.
"Well you see I need you to-" Patrick started but stopped. "What is it dad?" Athrun asked confused. "You do love your family right son?" Patrick asked to confirm. "Yes." Athrun said softly not really understanding what his father wanted. "Well I need you to get married." Patrick said. "Married!" Athrun said shocked. "I need someone to take over the company for me. But they need to be married for this weird contract thing. So I do need you to come up for training and all. It will take a year to 5 months though." Patrick said. "What about this marriage thing though dad?" Athrun asked. "Oh yes. You and Cagalli have to get married before the new year." Patrick stated. "What!" Athrun shouted. "I will let you get off some time during training though." Patrick said happily.
"But dad! Me and Cagalli, we want to get married when were ready. Not pushed into marriage." Athrun stammered. "I'm sorry that is the way it is." Patrick said hanging up. Athrun sighed.

"So we have to wait for you to come back?" Lacus questioned. "Yeah." Athrun said softly. Cagalli was sitting near by on a bench sulking. "Mir and Dearka are still away on there honeymoon. But I hope you will come back for Christmas and New Years." Kira said smiling.
Athrun nodded and then turned to Cagalli. He would tell her now. "C-Cagalli, about taking over for my father, I have to get married before the new year." Athrun mumbled. Cagalli's eyes widened. "W-what!" she shouted. "Shh Cagalli, please." Athrun said placing two hands on her shoulders. "But-but how am I going to - wait! We need to talk about this!" Cagalli shouted getting mad. "There isn't a lot of time to talk Cagalli." Athrun said softly. "I don't care! We need to talk!." Cagalli shouted.
"Fine, lets talk now." Athrun said bring her to a bench in the air port. "This is a lot to handle, Athrun." Cagalli said holding her head. "I-I know. I'm sorry." Athrun said rubbing her back. "Flight 438 to PLANTS now boarding." the intercom said. Athrun sighed as he grabbed his bag.
"Athrun!" Cagalli shouted as he made his way toward the entrance of the shuttle. "Athrun." Cagalli mumbled knowing shouting wasn't going to make him stay longer. "Yeah Cagalli." Athrun whispered softly. "L-Look!" she demanded holding a finger to his nose, "I won't be rude and say no. Because I love you Athrun and I'm not going to stop loving you just because you want me to marry you in the PLANTS. I get to pick my wedding dress." Cagalli said softly bring him to a kiss.
Athrun smiled and when she pulled away he pulled her back into another kiss. "I love you." He said softly pulling her into a hug. "I know." Cagalli said softly into his ear. "Phone. Everyday." she said as the user pulled Athrun in. He nodded and he was gone.

"Oh boy!" Lacus said happily, "Wait till Milly hears this." Lacus said clapping her hands happily. "What is it?" Kira asked, he wasn't paying attention to his sister at all. "Well Cagalli and Athrun are going to get married before the new year." Lacus said happily clapping her hands once again.
"Oh really," Kira said softly, "WHAT!" he shouted. "Yes! Didn't you hear Athrun?" Lacus questioned with her cute face. "No, I wasn't listening." Kira said rubbing his head sheepishly. "Oh Kira. What are going to do with you?" Lacus asked laughing. "Well we could always go back home and-" Kira started but Lacus cut him off with her stern eyes. "What is it?" Kira asked.
"I would feel bad. I mean, Shiho has Yzak and I have you, Milly and Dearka are on there honeymoon, but Cagalli is all alone." Lacus said, getting higher pitched on the word 'honeymoon' and looking over at her best friend. "I guess so. But I'm sure Cagalli would want you happy, right?" Kira asked kissing Lacus's cheek. "I guess." Lacus mumbled.
"Well no that, that is settled I think it's time we go back home. Eh, Cagalli?" Kira questioned. "Yeah!

Follow Athrun and get Mia involved int the story.
