Chapter 14 Weal & Woe

A/N Ok, in my last chapter, I think I made an error in my last line, it was supposed to be "look shocked", but I wrote it out as "looked shocked", sorry. I only realised that after I uploaded my chapter, haha! Anyway, happy reading!

"Cagalli, you need to eat something. You haven't eaten for a day already. Stop being so obstinate will you? You're worrying all of us!" said Miriallia frantically, kneeling down in front of the blonde Orb Princess and shaking her gently by the shoulders. However, to no avail the blodne girl just furrowed her eyebrows and pouted.

"Cagalli, what if you get malnourished? What will Lord Uzumi say? He'll be worried sick for you. If you won't eat for yourself, then at least eat for your baby." said Lacus knowingly, placing her hand on Cagalli's abdomen where a slight baby bump had formed.

The pink-haired girl's words struck the blonde girl. Yes, Lacus had a very good point. The reason she wasn't eating was because she wanted to torture herself, hoping that by doing so, the pain she felt in her heart would be vanquished. However, the situation had since changed. Cagalli was carrying an unborn baby now, she couldn't be thinking of ways to torture herself, it wouldn't be fair to her baby.

The blonde princess wasn't crying as much as before now, in fact she had stopped crying completely. However, she was still in her dazed and stoned state, refusing to do so much as nod her head in reply when asked a question.

"What should I eat? I may be a girl, but brushing up on maternity skills is not my cup of tea." murmured Cagalli softly, looking from Lacus to Cagalli, who looked overjoyed and relieved that the blonde girl was finally responding fully and thinking straight.

"That's my Cagalli! Now let's see, what do you feel like eating? Usually expectant mothers have cravings that make them go off the food they usually like or eat." said Miriallia, grinning at Cagalli, and raising an eyebrow questioningly.

"I'm not sure, maybe a bowl of of chicken porridge with extra scallops and shrimps?" replied Cagalli, biting her lower lip and looking up at Miriallia and Lacus as both young women smiled toothily down at their blonde friend.

"Brilliant," said Lacus brightly, turning around just as she heard the bedroom door click open, revealing the rejuvenated face of Kyo at the door way, along with the copper-tone skinned blonde, Dearka Elthman.

"Guess what? Cagalli's finally agreed on eating chicken porridge? Well at least that's what she requested for when I asked what her preference was." said Miriallia, smiling widely at the duo who had just entered the bedroom. The auburn-haired girl had been talking so fast like a bullet train, that none of the others had catched a word of what she said, but no one could've been happier than Dearka, who was just delighted in seeing his auburn-haired companion smile for once in hours.

Lacus laughed merrily, hand over her mouth. "Miriallia said that Cagalli has finally decided on eating chicken porridge." The pink-haired girl, looked happily down at Cagalli, who was setaed comfortably on the floor, peeling some of the dried skin off her fingers.

"That's weird, you're not with Yzak for once, Kyo." said Miriallia teasingly, looking at Kyo, who was not in the company of Yzak Jule. She had come down from her room after washing up, and had met Dearka on the way to Cagalli's bedroom.

"Well, he's still sleeping like a log. When I went into his room earlier, he was half off his bed. His legs apparently had fallen off his head, and his upper body hoisted over the side." said Kyo, bursting into a fit of giggles. "I had to punch him before I actually got his attention."

"But he still treausres his sleep more than you," said Dearka jokingly, who received a playful nudge in the ribs from the attractive redhead. The blonde young man, stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Miriallia tightly, before planting a kiss on her cheek.

"I never knew you were a couple. As far as I know, the only people who are coupled here are Kyo and Yzak." said Cagalli, who was staring up at a blushing Miriallia and a grinning Dearka.

"Then it's time we enlighten you Cagalli. Your brother Kira has a girlfriend too, you know. He's fallen head over heels in love with Lacus." laughed Dearka, turning to face Lacus who blushed deeply. "When Athrun..." however, Dearka paused hoping that the mere mention of the blue-haired co-oridnator's name wouldn't work the blonde girl up.

"Carry on, don't worry I've calmed down already. The mention of that asshole's name doesn't aggravate me anymore." hissed Cagalli, sounding rather firm about her words, though there still was an obvious tint of hurt in her voice.

"Oh well then, ok. When Athrun and I were dragging Yzak out of the suite, we spotted Kira and Lacus kissing by the window pane." said Dearka, bursting out laughing when he finished is statement, and for ocne Cagalli smiled to herself.

"Kira and Lacus were spotted kissing by Dearka and Athrun. Kira's first kiss, finally. He was so immature then, Lacus must've really influenced him." Cagalli thought to herself, before she got up and settled herself into a nearby chair as her legs were tired from sititng on the floor.

"Cagalli, I'm going to get your porridge. Dearka, mind accompanying me?" asked Miriallia, holding out her open hand to the copper-tone skinned young man who accepted without any questions.

"I'll be waiting, I'm so hungry I could eat a cow. But then I would be bloated and become obese." said Cagalli, grinning widely at her auburn-haired friend, who looked delighted at the blonde's return of humour.

"We'll stay behind and accomapny Cagalli then." said Kyo, seeing Dearka and Miriallia out of the bedroom doorway before shutting the door gently and joining and Lacus and Cagalli.

"Are you thirsty? You haven't had anything to drink either," said Lacus, getting up from her chair and hurrying over to the bedside table and tipping the water jug over toward the glass cup so that the crystal clear liquid called water, flowed gracefully into the glass.

"I thought you'd ask sooner or later, but then again, please stop this all. I don't really like being waited on. I'm young and fully functional, I'm capable of doing basic things myself, thanks." said Cagalli knowingly, looking at Lacus and thanking her for the glass of water.

"Sorry, we're just so overjoyed that you're finally thinking straight again. Yesterday you were a totally different person. Crying and screaming your lungs off, it was rather frightening if you ask me." said Lacus, looking unappreciatively at Cagalli, before her lips broke into a smile.

"Accept my sincere apologies then. I guess what happened was a big blow to me. I had loved Athrun so deeply, and his reaction when I saw him in the medical unit, it just hit me like a thousand knives." said Cagalli, sipping from her glass of water, before shaking her head slowly from side to side.

"Cagalli, if it makes the pain worse, then don't talk about it. We understand you perfectly," said Kyo softly, looking conerned for Cagalli, as she saw the tears building up in the Orb Princess's honey-brown eyes once more.

Cagalli sniffled lightly before rubbing her eyes, "No, I must not cry. I must NEVER cry anymore, I must be strong, for my baby." she said, feeling her stomach gently.

"You're wrong Cagalli. Yes, you shouldn't cry over Athrun, but it's not true that you must NEVER cry. You ought to be a person with a heart of stone if were never to cry again." said Lacus wisely, looking at Cagalli knowingly. "Crying shows that you're human, and that you have emotions and a heart."

"Lacus is right. What happened to Athrun was beyond both yours and our control, it's all Mia's fault. She lied to Athrun about us, just so she could make him fall for her." snarled Kyo annoyed, curling her fists into tight balls and gritting her teeth.

"Believe me, Mia's probably more than half way there. However, there's got to be someway we can show the truth to Athrun the truth and make him believe us. I can't stop loving him either, my baby dserves to have a father." said Cagalli, feeling her stomach and sighing deeply, before looking up at her two friends.

"When there's a will there's a way," said Kyo determinedly, patting Cagalli gently on the back and smiling toothily at her blonde friend, who just smiled back warmly.

"I hope you don't mind, but what made you change your mind about Athrun, and calm down so abruptly?" asked Lacus softly, hoping the blonde girl wouldn't feel uncomfortable answering the question.

"Well, I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I mean my crying wouldn't change what has happened, right? Besides, even though it is Mia's fault that Athrun has reacted this way, he believes her totally and it won't be a piece of cake making him believe us. Besides, I've been crying my eyes out until they hurt, and I'm only worrying the lot of you." explained Cagalli, finishing off her glass of water in a few gulps and licking her lips.

"I see, that wasn't very hard to understand. Usually when one talks about his emotions, they make it so complicated nobody can understand him except himself." said Lacus smiling gently. The pink-haired girl looked to her left out into the balcony of Cagalli's bedroom, and into the grassy meadow below.

A lone figure sat hugging his legs on the soft green grass among the bushes and shrubbery. He was wearing an all black outfit with red outlines. His short brunette hair swayed with the passing zephyr, as he looked out past the shoreline into the horizon.

"Kira," Lacus muttered under her breath, as she watched the lone figure sit alone on the grassy meadow, flowers and bushes surrounding him.

"Hey umm, I'm going into the meadows for a while. I've spotted Kira, he's sitting there alone, and it's not usually like him to act this way." said Lacus, speaking of her brunette companion as if she knew him for years.

"Go ahead, I know what it feels like being alone," sighed Cagalli looking down at her stomach and feeling it gently once more. "I don't want Kira to feel lonely, neither do I want anyone to feel blue."

"I'm sorry about all that's happened, Cagalli. If it was within my power I would've prevented it all." said Lacus, walking over to the expectant blonde mother and placing a warm and reassuring hand on her shoulder. "See you later,"

Lacus smiled warmly at Cagalli before walking briskly though still in a very ladylike way out of the opulent bedroom, before swinging the massive oak door shut behind her. It simply wasn't like Kira to be sitting alone in the meadow and looking at the scenery. As far as Lacus knew, Kira was one who loved company and fun.

Lacus's shoes made soft clicking sounds as she swirled down the spiral staircase gracefully, upholding both grace and respect. The pink-headed girl made her way down into the meadow, her feet making no noise as she padded across the grass toward the brunette young man.

"Kira, are you alright?" asked Lacus softly, moving up beside Kira and settling herself on the grass beside him, and watching a ladybug make its way up her arm, before she gently picked it up and placed in on a leaf in a nearby rose bush.

Kira turned to is side away from Lacus before quickly wiping his face with the back of his hand and sniffling as softly as he could as not to give his status away, but being a co-ordinator, Lacus's enhanced hearing picked everything up.

"What's wrong? You were crying weren't you? Care to share what's ailing you?" asked Lacus, taking Kira by the shoulders ang gently urging him to face her, however, the brunette young man simply refused and stood his ground.

"I wasn't crying, I just have a slight runny nose." said Kira, sniffling again and still refusing to face his pink-haired lover, who looked down for a moment and began thinking hard.

"Really? Then why won't you face me and look at me straight in the eye?" asked Lacus, looking at Kira's back, and waiting for him to say something or turn his back around. "Do you think I wouldn't recognise the cries, excuses and the actions a young man in the midst of tears would make?"

Kira froze at the statement. It wasn't any point rebelling her any longer, she knew very well that he had been crying. What's the harm just turning around to face her anyway, she didn't seem to complain that he was crying.

Slowly, Kira turned to face Lacus, though his head still remained bent, looking at the grass in-between his crossed legs. The violet eyes young man felt the soft and slender finger of his sweet lover lift his chin.

Violet eyes met with warm light blue ones as the duo just remained silent for the meantime, just enjoying the feeling of being alone together.

"No will you tell me what's ailing you? A young man wouldn't be crying over a small matter." said Lacus loving, stroking Kira's cheek gently, and waiting for an answer from the brunette young man.

"Ever since we were toddlers, or maybe a little older than that, Cagalli and I were never on good terms with each other. Not in such serious way that we were arch enemies, but we fought a lot and Cagalli would throw massive tantrums. I annoyed her from the very start, and I still do so, that I have to admit." said Kira so softly it was almost close to a whisper.

"That's what's bothering? the fact that you keep annoying Cagalli?" asked Lacus, feeling a little puzzled, why would someone be crying over the fact that he always annoyed his twin sister? "It's got to be something more than that, right?" Lacus asked.

Kira nodded and sniffled again, more tears rolling down his cheeks, as hie entire frame started trembling. "I've never failed to annoy Cagalli, and yet now when she's most in need of the love and care that siblings would offer, I can't do anything to help her." Kira ended his statement, bursting into a fit of noisy tears, and for once Lacus didn't see him as the matured Kira she knew, he looked more like a lost child, not knowing what to do.

So that was what was bothering Kira. The fact that he never failed to annoy Cagalli, and at the same time he couldn't do anything to help her when she needed him most. Lacus watched the brunette young man cry bitterly, and felt the urge to just pull him over to her and cradle him in her arms, which was exactly what she did seconds later.

"Hush now, I know you're trying very hard to find a means to help Cagalli, but it's not that you can't do anything to help her. There's NO WAY we can help her right now. With the current situation, we'll have to see how things go, and ebfore we can help cagalli, she has to LET US help her first." explained Lacus, cradling a blubbering Kira in her arms.

"I... just feel... so useless..." sobbed Kira, letting more of his tears slip out from under his close eyelids stream down his cheeks and to the back of his head.

"Hush Kira, you're not useless. I know that, your friends know that, Cagalli knows that. As much as the both of you bicker and fight each day, the two of you still share a close bond, a bond called love." explained Lacus, wiping away Kira's tears with her hands, and stroking his cheek and pushing some of his hair away from his face.

Kira snuggled closer to Lacus, and although he was a tad too big to be cradled like a baby, Lacus still enjoyed being able wrap her arms around him and cuddle him tight.

"Oh, you're back, good. Good day to both of you, Miss Lacus, Kira." said Lord Uzumi, greeting the brunette and the pink-headed girl when they entered the Orb Princess's bedroom.

"Good day to you to, Lord Uzumi." greeted Kira and Lacus, bowing respectfully before joinging Cagalli, Kyo, along with Miriallia and Dearka, who had apparently returned with Cagalli's porridge just moments ago. Also, it wasn't surprising to see Yzak standing beside Kyo, his arm snaked around her waist.

"I'm aware of everything that has happened from what I heard from our other two guests, Miss Ramius and Mr. Wattfeld, however you won't be seeing them today as they're on a tour I orgnaised for them here." said Lord Uzumi knowingly, settling into a nearby chair.

"So I guess you know what kind of person Mia Campbell is, right?" hissed Yzak, looking imensely angry, although he had learnt to manage his temper quite well, thanks to Kyo who seemed to be able to reduce Yzak to jelly whenever she was around.

"Yes, I must say she is incredibly cunning for a young woman and to commit such a horrendous act involving lying and the hurting of one's feelings." said Lord Uzumi, looking at Cagalli, who just looked down at her folded hands on her lap.

"Why don't you just get rid of her? You have the power to do that Lord Uzumi," said Dearka knowingly, folding his arms across his chest and waiting for an answer from the Lion of Orb.

"That's a thoughtful though inappropriate idea, Dearka, because if Mia is sent away, she'll take Athrun with her, and right now we're tyring to think of a way to show Athrun the truth and reunite him with Cagalli." said Miriallia smartly, looking bluntly at her blonde boyfriend who sighed in defeat.

"We'll just force her to go back to PLANTs alone then. There's no rule that says she HAS to bring Athrun along." said Kyo looking deeping in thought. "But then again, even if we force her to leave Athrun here, d'you think Athrun will want to stay here? I pretty much think he'll tag along with Mia anyway."

"So I guess the best option is to keep Miss Campbell and Mr. Zala here, while the bunch of you think up a plan." said Lord Uzumi, thinking hard himself.

"Don't call Mia 'Miss" Lord Uzumi, she doesn't deserve such high status, I mean after what bimbotic things she's done." said Yzak hotly, curling his fists into tight balls and clenching his jaw.

"It's wrong to think that way, Mr. Jule. No matter what disdainful or horrendous acts one has commited, it is only right that you show the person some due respect." said Lord Uzumi wisely, correcting Yzak on his mentality.

Yzak just rolled his eyes and folded his arms across his brawny chest, not giving a care about the Lion of Orb's wise words of justice and equality.

"Father... maybe there's something you should know, about me that is." said Cagalli softly, not daring to look her adoptive father straight in the eye. The blonde girl was going to confess to her father about her pregnancy.

"Yes, Cagalli? You know you can tell me anything." said Lord Uzumi, looking expectantly at his blonde aoptive daughter, who was looking rather uncertain and hesitant about what she was going to say.

"Well, you're actually the seocnd last person to know this, but I'm... I'm pregnant." murmured Cagalli softly, her words getting softer and softer with each word, and by the time she completed her sentence, her words were almost inaudible. Thankfully, Lord Uzumi had his ear just centimetres from Cagalli's lips.

"I'm speechless Cagalli," said Lord Uzumi, looking at the blonde Orb Princess, his expression showing neither fury nor disappointment. In fact, Cagalli wasn't sure what to think about her adoptive father.

"No doubt I'm happy that you're carrying an heir to our throne after yourself, but at 16? If I'm not wrong, the baby was fathered by Mr. Athrun Zala, right?" asked the Lion of Orb, eyeing his adoptive blonde daughter closely, and making her inch away cautiously.

"Bulls-eye," replied Cagalli softly, looking rather reproachful. Yes, she was glad that her father was not angry and disciplining her, but he didn't look too happy either. He had a point though, she was only 16, yes. A 16 year old girl, and already on her way to motherhood.

"Have you told the baby's father?" asked Lord Uzumi, not using Athrun's name as from the start he had found Athrun's name rather queer and hard to pronounce. (A/N: Well you see, Lord Uzumi is getting old and his tongue's not as flexible, haha. Besides, until I discovered Gundam Seed/Destiny, I never heard of a name called 'Athrun'. But I think the name is unique, hehe.)

"Not yet. I plan to do so later though, Athrun has a right to know." said Cagalli sighing, and feeling her stomach, although since she was still early in her pregnancy, the baby didn't move around much.

"What! You're actually going to tell him, how?" asked Dearka appalled. Clearly, the copper-tone skinned blonde young man never really used much of his brains, there was only one way to tell Athrun wasn't there? Obviously to confront Athrun and tell the blue-haired guy straight in the face. However, it did not mean that Dearka Elthman was stupid or dumb, it just meant that he left half his brain on, and the other half, unused like a white elephant.

"Of course she'll tell him. Even if she didn't want to, I would've urged her to. Even though circumstances have changed, the fact remains that Athrun is the baby's father. Like Cagalli mentioned, he has the right to know." said Kira knowingly, looking encouragingly at Cagalli, who grinned gently.

"In that case, I think my work here is done. Take care of yourself Cagalli, and don't do anything rash or foolish, your baby needs you. I'll take my leave, bye." said Lord Uzumi, getting up and bowing back to the bunch of teenagers who had bowed to him first.

Cagalli and the others watched as Lord Uzumi slipped out of the bedroom door, and disappearing out of sight and his footsteps soon became out of earshot.

"Oh yes, Athrun's been discharged. Just this morning I think, I saw him earlier on." said Kira, looking sternly down at his expectant blonde sister, who had poured herself another glass of water and was now drinking it.

"Cagalli, if you're going to confront him, you're not going to do it alone, are you?" asked Miriallia, sounding rather concerned and making her disapproval clear enough for Cagalli to take notice of.

"Of course I'm going alone, you don't expect me to confront Athrun to tell him something this important with a bunch of you breathing down my neck." said Cagalli firmly, looking sternly at Miriallia and especially Kira, as she didn't want him tagging along or sending Kyo or Dearka to watch after her.

"Cagalli's right. We can't be following her everywhere, it's time she had some time alone to do what she wants. Since you're going to confront Athrun, make it snappy, don't beat around the bush and just get straight to the point. You know how hot-tempered he becomes when he sees you nowadays." said Kyo, smiling gently down at her blonde friend.

"But, if you take too long we'll send someone down to look for you." said Kira sternly, shooting his sister a penetrating glare, which told Cagalli not to argue back.

"Deal! I'm going now," said Cagalli, picking up a red Orb overcoat and putting it on before striding toward the bedroom door.

"Cagalli wait! Be careful if he tries to hit you, I advise you to run if he turns violent. Don't forget, you're pregnant if you fall there's a possibility of a miscarriage." warned Lacus knowingly, sending the blonde Orb Princess on her way.

Cagalli took Lacus's advice seriously. She definitely did not want to lose the child within her, even though she'd never met the baby, she still shared a bond with it.

Just as Cagalli turned a corner, she bumped straight into Athrun and Mia Campbell. The blonde was not expecting this, and was at a loss for words. It was only then that she remembered Athrun's room was just around the left corner from hers.

"Oh, look who it is. Miss Smutty," hissed Mia annoyingly, cackling with laughter as she clung on to Athrun's left forearm. The bandage on Athrun's head still remained in place, as the wound was still healing.

Cagalli glared at Mia, before finding the courage to speak up. "Mia, go on ahead. I need to speak with Athrun... alone."

"Oh really, what matter would be so important that you would need to chat with Athrun alone away from me?" questioned Mia, walking in circles around the blonde Orb Princess, who couldn't help but feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand.

"It's just personal, and it involves only Athrun and I, so if you were a decent person you'd show some respect and leave the two of us alone for a moment." said Cagalli, trying very hard to maintain her temper.

"I wouldn't want to talk to you alone, besides anything that involves me, involves Mia. So you can just say what you want in front of her," hissed Athrun, glaring disgustedly at Cagalli, who could already feel the pain in her chest getting worse.

Never had Athrun used that tone on her before when they were once a couple, and NEVER had her glared at her so full of fury and hate.

Cagalli took in a deep breath, however, when she tried to speak nothing came out of it. Panic was rising in Cagalli's lower half, and she was now unable to move as her feet remained rooted to the ground.

"Speed up will you? We don't have the entire day, you know? Besides, I think you're just trying to chat Athrun up, hoping he'll get back together with you, but I suggest you forget him and move on." said Mia, sneering maliciously at Cagalli.

"I can't do that." muttered Cagalli, looking away from Mia and Athrun. Lacus had forewarned her not to beat around the bush and to hurry up, but the words were just not willing to come out of her mouth.

"I'm losing my patience, Cagalli. Just say what you have to say and leave the both of us alone," said Athrun heatedly, his voice becoming hoarse and turning into a low and angry drone.

No matter how hard Cagalli tried, the words just couldn't come out. Her eyes were swimming with tears, and she was beginnign to panic. the mroe she panicked the worse everything became, the clock was ticking in Athrun, and he was losing his patience fast.

Out of the blue, Athrun jumped into action and grabbed Cagalli by the collar, lifting her clean off her feet and pinning her against the corridor wall. The blonde Orb Princess screamed with all her might, the panic clear in her voice.

"WHAT D'YOU WANT WITH ME? I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU, CAGALLI YULA ATHHA! YOU'RE JUST A BIMBO WHO SLEEPS AROUND! SO JUST WHAT D'YOU WANT TO TELL ME?" hollered Athrun, his bretahing fast and furious as he lgared at Cagalli, whose tears were spilling endlessly down her face.

Athrun had changed. He had changed so drastically Cagalli didn't know any part of him anymore. He was no longer the charismatic and gentle young man she once loved and cherished with all her heart, he had turned cold and ill-tempered.

Cagalli stared down into his emerald eyes, which held a tint of hate and fury in them. They used to hold a warm and gentle glow, enhancing his handsome features, which were already alluring enough.

However, that good side of Athrun had been hopelessly destroyed. Destroyed like paper would burn when thrown into a fiery furnace, and be reduced to nothing more than a memory of mere ashes.

"PUT HER DOWN!" yelled Kira, turning around the corner and coming to an abrupt halt so as not to bump into Mia Campbell, who seemed to be enjoying whatever that was going on. "I SAID PUT HER DOWN, ATHRUN!"

Athrun released Cagalli, letting her fall to her knees hard on the marble floor. Cagalli scrambled helplessly on all fours to her twin brother who helped her to her feet.

Tears of anguish and heartbreak overwhelmed Cagalli as she watched Athrun from behind Kira's back. the others had come to the scene as well and were all busy trying to comfort Cagalli.

"You're a heartless jackass, Athrun Zala. What's happened to you? You seem to be blinded by everything that's happened," said Lacus fiercely, swearing for the first time in her entire life.

"I hate her, I hate all of you." snarled Athrun, fists clenched tightly, reminding Kyo very much of what Yzak was like before she had managed to give him some anger-management classes.

"You can hate me all you like! But I won't give up on you! Simply because the baby I'm carrying deserves a father! It's not fair if a child suffers because of his parents' wrong doings!" cried Cagalli bitterly, almost begging Athrun to come to light and open his eyes.

Athrun stormed off, pushing roughly past Cagalli who would've fallen down if Kira had't supported her. Mia trailed along after Athrun, looking annoyed but her expression held a tint of pity in it.

Cagalli just stood trembling behind Kira, wondering if there was any moment in her life when things had just gone perfectly without spoiling.

A/N Ooh, Athrun's changed so much! Argh! I'm so evil, I make Athrun into a total asshole and I make Cagalli suffer. Well sorry, but I love angst, hehe. Sorry for typo errors and pls review!

In the next chapter: Despite her ordeal with Athrun the day before, Cagalli still remains calm and cheerful, and agrees to follow Kyo and Miriallia out into town to buy some baby clothes. Kira still feels guilty about not being to do much about helping Cagalli and remains most of the time isolated in his bedroom. Lacus decides to confront Mia and question her on why she lied and did everythign she did. Dearka teases Yzak about Kyo and is surprised to find that Yzak actually has developed the cheek and humour to tease him back. What will their teasing develop into?
