Chapter Two: Rude Awakenings

Cagalli was sleeping peacefully, with dreams of Athrun six feet under. Suddenly light started pouring in the open window, through she clearly remembered drawing the drapes the night before. Cagalli buried her head under the pillows when all her blankets were yanked off the bed. "Five more minuets" Cagalli murmured. "mention that you have a beautiful and fulfilled day awaits. The golden haired princess of Orb looked at the clock then back at the coordinator in front of her. She blinked "At 5:00 am?" She rolled back over, "I don't think so"

"Ok then I'll go get the bucket of ICE," Athrun turned to leave. He was halfway across the room before his words fully sunk in. "ICE," Cagalli exclaimed jumping up. "You wouldn't DARE."

"Watch me Princess," he said smugly. Cagalli glared at him, he glared right back.

"Fine, I'll get up, but first you have to leave."

"The house?" Athrun raised his eyebrows.

"Preferably, but since you THINK that isn't going to happen any time soon, MY ROOM." She chucked a pillow at him, which he expertly ducked. "Out" the princess screamed again, "Out, out, out, OUT," her next pillow hit him squarely in the head.

"Ok, but be at the table in five minuets," he pulled the door firmly shut.

"Men," Cagalli muttered. She pulled off her pajamas and put on her usual daywear, Cargo pants and a red T-shirt, she stomped to her bedroom door and flung it open. Then continued to stomp down the hallway.

She started walking to wards the kitchen, and staring at the ceiling, then thump, she tripped. "Who in their right mind would put a coffee table in the middle of the hallway."

"I would" Athrun answered walking into the room.

"So first you come into my house and tell me I can't dye my hair now your rearranging my furniture, you can't do that!" She put her hands on her hips and challenged him with a look of pure hatred.

"And you know what the funny thing is … I just did." He taunted, in all his years as a bodyguard and edict teacher he had never had so much fun.

"ARG." Cagalli screamed in frustration. At least I still have my Cocoa puffs, she thought, shoving past Athrun into the kitchen. She hummed the Coca Puffs theme song, and pulled a box from the cupboard and a bowl from the sink. Athrun snatched the box right out of Cagalli's hand. He looked at the label and shook his head, "Princesses need a well balanced breakfast, especially ones that are growing."

"Stop talking about me in third person," the princess said coolly, as she attempted to grab the box out of his hand.

"Now, now princess you're going to eat the meal I've prepared for you." He said as he placed a plate in front of her. It was piled up with a strange looking concoction of what she hoped was food. Hesitantly she took a small bite and was surprised it was actually eatable.

"Eat up, I don't want us to miss our little shopping trip," Athrun said happily.

"Our little WHAT?" Cagalli asked angrily, as she began to aim her fork for the coordinator's head.

"You heard me, our little shopping trip." She let fire and he ducked. "It's odd all the dresses you have are too small." He said with an amused look on his face.

"That at would be because they're not mine their Miriallia's, I don't wear dresses!" She shoveled three forkfuls of Athrun's concoction into her mouth.

"Well your going to have to get used to it, there are three balls coming up in the net two months."

Cagalli swallowed, "three, you have got to be kidding"

"No I'm not now hurry it up were leaving in ten minuets."

"I'M NOT GOING," Cagalli shouted.

"Yes, she's going to need about 13 dresses" A happy Athrun said to an exited clerk. The young girl, Claire had noticed right off that the blond girl accompanying the "charming" blue haired man, as Cagalli Yule Athha the Princess of ORB. This meant that she was going to get a major paycheck this month. "13, NO WAY I've never paid for a dress in my life now you want me to get 13 LIKE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN." Claire giggled and looked at Athrun "So you're her new body guard then?" she asked flirtatiously.

"Yes, I am" Athrun said grabbing the back of Cagalli's shirt as she tried to sneak out of the store.

"Let me go you creep!" She hollered as he pulled her back into the common area.

"No" he said flatly as Claire giggled quietly. "You need to try on and buy at least 13 dresses."

"What for!"

"Well, fancy balls and stuff like that!"

"Not, 13 Please" she argued.

"Fine 12"

"4"

Athrun sighed, "10"

"5" Cagalli shuttered "And that's final"

"26" Athrun said examining his nails.

"10's good" She said quickly.

"Then get into the change room and try on some dresses" he said like a train conductor.

"Fine," she paused "but nothing PINK" then she stormed off into the change room.

Five hours later Cagalli was the proud (ya right) owner of 10 gowns, but at least she didn't have to pay for them, everything was being paid for with her Dad's card.

"All right I guess we can go back to our apartment" Athrun said as they left the store.

"Excuse me It's not ours it's mine and thank god were going back I'm so tired and I just want to go to sleep." Cagalli said with a yawn.

"Oh, well then you should get to bed right away, when we get back" Athrun said looking concerned.

Sure enough when they walked through the door Cagalli snapped at Athrun "I'm going to bed , goodnight" grabbed her bags and stalked off to her room. Hours passed in silence as Athrun typed away on his computer in the office. Around 11:30 when Athrun heard a noise outside the office door. He opened it expecting to see Cagalli, but he didn't see anyone. "Hmm, that's odd" he remarked as he walked out of his office. Suddenly out of the corner or his eye he saw a figure move in the shadows. Now he KNEW he wasn't alone. His hand went for the lights but someone –Cagalli he thought- had turned off the breaker. Athrun reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun then he quickly moved towards Cagalli's door. "Oww!" he heard a voice out of the darkness, then Athrun knew exactly were where the intruder was, by the coffee table. That was the method behind the madness of putting it there. He inched around the corner and the figure was right in front of him. He dived and tackled it aiming the gun in the same instant.

Ha Ha Ha

Sorry,coulden't resist,and felt like being cruel, anyway sorry for the wait but I had to type it and I hate typing. So it won't or shouldn't be as long of a wait because we've already written it, and were working on the fourth. So if you have any questions just post them with your review and we'll answer them if it doesn't give anything away. So you don't have to review but they will make us very happy.

Thanks
