Chapter One: Hair Dye

"Cagalli, Customer at table ten" Miriallia said as she walked past the other waitress. Cagalli passed an order to the cook and picked up the tray for table six. She lay the plates in front of the customers and walked off to the corner table. "Hi, can I take your order?" She asked the man sitting there. He didn't respond. Cagalli cleared her throat, "May I take your order?" she asked a little louder. The guy blinked, "Huh… ya," he said. Cagalli giggled quietly. "Ok then what would you like?"

"Oh, sorry I'm kind of out of-" he stopped.

"Ya we all have days like that, now are you going to order or should I just leave!" the young waitress snapped.

"A coffee and the beef stir-fry please." Cagalli turned around and stalked off glad her shift ended soon.

As the waitress brought over his coffee the young businessman surveyed her out of the corner of his eye. She looked like the princess and she defiantly had the right personality, she certainly was his charge.

"Cream or sugar sir" Cagalli asked sweetly.

The coordinator slammed the file in front of him shut.

"Sugar it is " she said dumping a spoon loaded with sugar into his cup. "What did it ever do to you?" she asked before turning and leaving. As soon as she was out of earshot he sighed. Pull yourself together man, she almost saw that, he thought. He downed the cup of coffee, he blinked he had a horrid taste in his mouth…. Like… a waitress had dumped a cup of sugar in his small coffee.

Twenty minutes later his food came, Cagalli placed the dish in front of him and sulked off with out a word. This time he checked a small piece before digging in. He was done before she got back, so he sat calmly waiting for his waitress to return, but she didn't. He began to wonder if shed ever come back, when another girl walked back. "Were did Cagalli go?" he asked.

"Oh, she left about ten minutes ago." The girl named Miriallia said.

"WHAT!" he shouted as he jumped up from his seat. He placed an $100.00 bill on the table and yelled, "Keep the change!" as he raced out the door.

"SWEET!" Miriallia said as she snatched the bill off the table.

"I shouldn't have to baby sit a seventeen year old." The coordinator said as he raced down the street, following the directions he had been given earlier.

"Ahhh.. That's MUCH better!" Cagalli said as she walked out of the bathroom with electric blue hair. "Now it has to dry and I'll be all…" she stopped, because she heard the door open. Slowly she inched over to her bedroom door when suddenly it opened and in its place stood a tall coordinator. "AAH, what are you doing here?" she yelled.

"Pleased to meet your highness, My name is Athrun Zala and your father sent me to make sure all your duties as princess of orb are being fulfilled in his absence"

"News Flash, were not at court and aren't you the guy from the restaurant?"

"As my first lesson, when meeting people for the first time you should be polite, considerate, and formal. Now about that new blue hair of yours and yes I am."

"First of all it's electric blue and this is permanent dye it's not about to come out, and theirs nothing you can do about it" Cagalli challenged.

"Watch me" he said smugly. Athrun hauled her into the bathroom and began to run very hot water.

"It's not going to work you dork. It's already set."

"Oh trust me" Athrun replied.

"Ya, you're right you'd probably know seeing you die your hair"

"For your information it's natural"

"Wait… stop for a second you have blue hair so what's wrong with mine. Anyway my father doesn't need to know"

"First off, my hair isn't ELECTRIC blue, so to speak, and your father has to know. I'm giving him weekly reports on your behavior." He said coolly.

"YOUR WHAT?" she yelled.

"Now, now, inside voices please." Athrun said quietly shaking his finger at Cagalli.

"IF YOU SHAKE YOUR FINGER AT ME ANYMORE, IM GONNA BITE IT OFF!" she screamed. Just then Athrun grabbed her and began to dunk her head in and out of the water.

"What – Do – You – Think – Your – DOING" Cagalli gasped between dunkings.

"I'm riding you hair of that horrid dye" He shoved he head under again and scrubbed it vigorously dumping some specialized shampoo on too. Forty minutes later the two emerged from the bathroom. Cagalli's hair was back to her natural hair color, blonde. "I can't believe you actually got all that dye out of my hair, I hate you"

"Come, now Cagalli you look so much better now." He told he calmly.

"I'm not gonna listen to you and I told you I HATE YOU! Or do you need that spelt out" She hollered back.

"Now, Now, Cagalli You need to use your inside voice or I'm not going to listen to you"(I space H space A space T space E space YOU)

"I'm gonna go to my room and if your still here when I get out I'm callin' the cops"

"It's GOING and CALLING, and I have papers from your father!" He pulled a wad of paper out of his pocket and pointed at Uzumi Nara Athha signature on it.

"Tell me this is some sad joke" Cagalli said hopefully, Athrun just ignored her. Cagalli slammed her door, and Athrun could hear a sharp and loud cry of, I HATE YOU, coming from the other side of the door.
