Little Distractions

RING RING RING RING RING RING RING

"Dammit, ATHRUN, CAN YOU GET THAT!" Cagalli shouted from her small office. No one responded and the phone kept ringing and ringing, so finally Cagalli stood up and walked out of the office and into the hall to get the phone. The house was really quiet considering that 4 teenagers lived there. "Hello, Cagalli here."

"Hey Cagalli, it's Athrun. I'm sorry about leaving without telling you. Lacus and Kira wanted to go out for lunch and since you said that you were to busy with work, I thought we'd leave you alone."

"Oh well thanks, but I would've liked to go. So thanks for asking!" Cagalli snapped.

"Sorry, do you want to come now?" Athrun asked.

"No, you're right, I really do have way too much work to do." Cagalli laughed.

"Alright, I'll let you get back to that then."

"Thanks. Bye." CLICK.

Cagalli sat back down at her desk and began filling out the papers again. She yawned and took a sip from her black coffee and then looked up at the time. It was about 1:30pm.

"I'm never going to get this stuff done." Cagalli whined. She wrote a few things down and then the phone rang again.

"Hello, Cagalli speaking."

"Miss Cagalli, it's Kisaka."

"Are you kidding me, what do you want?"

"I was just wondering if you had finished those referral forms yet?" Kisaka asked.

"NO, OF COURSE I HAVEN'T!" Cagalli snapped down the phone. "God, I can't get a minutes peace."

She sat back down and fiddled with her pencil for second, and then fiddled with some papers that she still had to fill out. She turned on the radio because she was so bored. The music caught her feet and they started tapping on the floor, she spun around in her chair as the music carried on. "Damn, I'm hungry." She walked down the stairs into the kitchen and started making a sandwich.

"Hello?"

"Hey this is Mirrialia. Is Dearka there?"

"No, he's not, in fact no one is here, just me! So please don't call back." Cagalli hung up the phone again.

"Man, how do you turn this thing off?" Cagalli slammed the cordless back onto the wall. She took her sandwich and walked back up to her office. She sat down more than just bored. The papers in front of her were screaming in her brain, she had such a bad headache and since her sandwich was done, maybe she should go do the dishes. The phone rang again.

"What, who is this?"

"It's Deakra, gee don't we sound happy."

"Shut up, what do you want?"

"Is Mirr there?"

"No, she just called looking for you. Why don't you call her house BYE!"

She walked downstairs and filled the sink with some hot water and some dish soap. She placed the little dishes that were surrounding the sink into the water and scrubbed them and when she finished she heading back upstairs to her work. She opened the folder labeled referral forms. "Might as well get down to business. Otherwise I'll never get this stuff done before the rest of them get done." She started writing and signing the forms and before she knew it Athrun was shaking her awake.

"Cagalli, hey wake up you."

"Huh, Athrun, when did you guys get back?"

"Like 10 minutes ago. It's almost midnight."

"WHAT?" Cagalli stood up faster than she probably should've and she kicked her swiveling chair backwards and it hit her desk and knocked the picture or her and Kira off the top shelf and the glass shattered on the floor. She got to the floor and began cleaning up the pieces of glass.

"Here let me help."

"What was that?" Kira came running up the stairs.

"Oh dear. Cagalli, I'll go get the vacuum." Lacus gasped.

"No, no need. The pieces were big enough to pick up." Cagalli held the glass shards in her hand.

"Oh alright, well I am going to go to bed now." Lacus smiled and walked back to her room.

"Yea, me too. You gonna be alright Cagalli?" Kira asked.

"Yes, I'll be just fine, but I never did get those forms done." Cagalli scratched her head as Athrun helped her clean up.

"Well you better go to bed. You're going to need all the sleep you can get if you want to finish with those forms by tomorrow." Athrun smiled.

"Umm, yea sure." Cagalli said a little dumbfounded as Athrun grabbed her hand and led her to her room. "Uh Athrun…"

"Yea."

"Never mind. See you in the morning."

"Yep. I promise there will be less distractions tomorrow." He gave a wink and walked down the stairs.

"How did he know? Oh well." She yawned and curled up on her bed and soon she was fast asleep!

Cagalli walked down the stairs the next morning to see that the whole house was clean from top to bottom. 'Did I do this?' She walked into the kitchen where Lacus was making some breakfast. She smiled sweetly through sleep eyes and continued on with what she was doing.

"Good morning, Cagalli." Kira said cheerfully looking up from the paper he was reading.

"Morning."

"Thanks for cleaning yesterday. It's really way beyond your character, but next time, try to get some work done. Kisaka called 5 times this morning for those referrals." Athrun laughed.

"So I did do all this." Cagalli laughed and walked back up the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Athrun called after her.

"Back to bed. There are less 'distractions' in dream world." She called back and everyone downstairs started laughing.
