Chap 4: Unexpected Surprises
"YZAK" yelled both Athrun and Dearka.
The silver haired duelist spun around and faced them. He was dressed in a blue shirt and tan pants and by the looks of it, he had his scar removed too. "Who the hell- OH GOD, NO!" Yzak moaned. "Not you idiots."
"Hey, what's wrong with us." Said Miriallia angrily.
"Yeah, and don't call us idiots, idiot!" Cagalli added.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Yzak growled.
"The same could be said for you, Yzak." Athrun said, "I thought you were up in the PLANTs working. This is the last place I would expect you."
"Yeah, Yzak, are you looking for pretty dresses and fancy jewelry." Dearka said, smirking.
"Shut up, you stupid clown." Yzak snapped back.
"Oooh, are you here with someone, Yzak?" Lacus asked with excitement. Just then, a pretty brunette came out of the store behind Yzak and hooked her arms around Yzak's. She wore a nicely pressed, dark red blouse and a light green mini skirt. She also had bright violet eyes.
"Who are these people, Yzak?" the brunette asked. She took a closer look at them and immediately recognized three of them.
"Wait, are you Lacus Clyne?" she asked.
Lacus nodded politely.
"Oh my god! I am your biggest fan, I can't believe I'm meeting you" the brunette squealed excitedly, "and you must be Athrun Zala, the late chairman Zala's son and one of the best pilots of ZAFT. I really look up to you."
Athrun chuckled and said, "Well, I'm not that great."
"And I know you too, you're ORBs representative, Cagalli Yula Atha, right?" She added.
Cagalli was surprised that this girl knew who she was, "Uh….yeah, that's me and you are?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't even introduced myself yet. I'm Shiho Hanenfuss, Yzak's girlfriend." The brunette said. Yzak just stood there, looking pissed.
The rest of them introduced themselves too.
"Hi, I'm Miriallia, nice to meet you."
"and I'm Dearka, one of Yzak's few friends. I never thought I would see the day Yzak would get a girl." Yzak started to advance on him, vein popping in his head, but Shiho just pulled him back.
"I'm Kira, Lacus's boyfriend."
"Very pleased to meet you all." Shiho said.
"Say, Shiho, would you like to join us for lunch, we were just going before we bumped into Yzak. We could get to know each other better." Cagalli asked smiling pleasantly. Athrun knew that smile and knew she was scheming something. He knew she was only partly being nice but mostly, she just wants to piss Yzak off even more. And it was working.
"Sure, we would love to. We were just about to go to lunch anyways." Shiho replied politely.
"What! No way!" Yzak said loudly, looking more pissed off then ever. Cagalli's plan worked perfectly.
"Too bad, we're going, so let's go, mister." Shiho said tugging on his arm.
"grrr, stupid women." Yzak muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?" Shiho said dangerously.
Yzak just scowled at her and allowed himself to be dragged along by her.
The group made their way to the food court, talking along the way and when they got there they were all amazed, even Cagalli. A princess like her has seen many things, but this is the first time she has seen this much food in one place. It was humongous. There was food of all sorts, any type and every type. You name it, they have it. There was Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Italian, burgers, salads, pastas, soups, steaks and so much more. There was enough food to satisfy even Cagalli's desire. They quickly found a table and the girls sent their boyfriends to get them food.
"Athrun, go get me some food." Cagalli ordered
"Fine, my princess, what do you want?" Athrun asked.
"I'm not going to tell you. This is a test of how well you know me, you got to get me my favorite foods and you're not eating till you find them all." Cagalli said.
"Heeheehee, that's a great idea, Cagalli. Yzak, you do the same thing." Shiho laughed. She became quick friends with the other girls during the short time they've met.
"I don't think so, I'm not a lapdog like Athrun" Yzak snapped back.
"You better do it, or you won't be getting any favors any more, if you know what I mean." Shiho said evily.
Yzak's face paled at her threat and quickly followed Athrun.
"Kira, can you get me some sushi and a salad?" Lacus asked sweetly.
"Yes, ma'am, on my way." Kira gave her a quick kiss on her cheek, turned and went to search out Lacus's requests.
"Hey, Mir, are you still feeling a bit sick? What do you want to eat?" Dearka asked.
"Yeah, just find me some food, anything. Actually, I want some pizza." Miriallia said.
"Alright, you just sit here and I'll be right back." Dearka dashed off to get his weak angel some food.
With Dearka gone, the girls finally had a chance to talk and talk they did.
"So Shiho, how did you meet Yzak? I didn't think any girl would dare get close to him since he's always spazzing out." Cagalli asked.
"Well, we didn't exactly hit it off right away. I am a lieutenant in the ZAFT forces and sort of his 2nd in command. We've worked together ever since the battle of Jachin Due. I was a pilot on his team. At first, I couldn't stand him, he was always rude to me, but I got over that. I just ignore him, which always pisses him off." Shiho giggled as she remembered past events. "Well, after a while, I guess he grew fond of me and became nicer to me. He asked me out a short while after that and he's changed a lot since then."
"Aww, I didn't know Yzak had a nice side." Lacus said, "How did he tell you he liked you? Was it romantic?"
"Yeah right, Yzak would never do anything romantic. He just called me to his office one day and awkwardly told me he likes me and asked me out on a date."
"Well, I guess that Yzak would have to find a girl sooner or later that can put up with him." Miriallia laughed.
"Well, enough about me, how bout you guys, I thought that Lacus was engaged to Athrun." Shiho said.
"No, we broke up ever since Patrick Zala announced that I was a traitor." Lacus said, "And I don't regret it. I was able to meet Kira and I'm very much in love with him now, but I'm still very good friends with Athrun."
"Same here, I met Athrun during the war. We were enemies at first, but we fell in love and Athrun came back to me when he defected to ZAFT. Athrun is mine now and I'm not letting go of him." Cagalli said gleefully.
"What about you, Miriallia, how did you meet Dearka?" Shiho asked.
"Well, the first time I saw him was in chains. He was a prisoner on the Archangel at that time. He was a real jerk too and I almost killed him one time. But, like Yzak, he grew on me after he came back to protect me at the battle of ORB. We've been going out ever since the war ended, and I love him very much, even though he acts like a buffoon sometimes." Miriallia said as the other girls laughed at her story.
"What's so funny?" Athrun asked as he came back with the other guys. All of them were holding trays full of food.
"Nothing, did you get my food?" Cagalli asked, "You had better got all my favorite foods."
"Well, it depends, is your favorite foods donner kebabs, onion rings, tacos and a diet coke." Athrun said as he handed the tray of food to her. He had the same thing as her, except his coke wasn't diet.
"Oh Athrun, you got it all right - wait, did you get chili sauce?" Cagalli asked.
"Yep, I know you love chili sauce with your kebabs and would kill me if I didn't get you any." Athrun pulled some packets of chili sauce out of his pockets and handed it to her.
"Great, and this is your reward." Cagalli pulled Athrun in roughly and gave him a hard and passionate kiss. They broke apart a minute later.
"That was yummy, now let's eat!" Cagalli said.
"Did you get what I want Yzak? You know if you didn't, you'll have to do it again." Shiho said slyly. Shiho already knew that she would like whatever Yzak got her, but she liked to see him squirm.
"Yes, here" He carelessly pushed the tray toward her.
Shiho looked down and was actually surprised that Yzak got her favorite foods. There was fried rice, noodles, sweet and sour chicken, spring rolls, fish and chips and two ice teas, one for him and one for her. She never expected Yzak to remember her favorite food. She always thought that he never listens to her, let alone remember her favorite things.
"Thank you Yzak, this looks delicious, come and join me." Shiho said, extremely grateful.
"Kira, did you have trouble finding it?" Lacus asked.
"Of course not, I would go to the ends of the earth to find your desires" Kira said. He placed a tray in front of her. There were a couple of boxes of assorted sushi, some tempura, some miso soup and a large bowl of chicken Caesar salad. It was more than enough for Lacus and she knew it.
"Kira, this is too much for me, you are going to help me finish this, right?" Lacus asked Kira as she pulled him down to sit beside her.
"Of course, honey, I bought enough for both of us." Kira said as he opened the boxes of sushi for her.
"Here, Milly, I didn't know what else you wanted so I bought some of your favorite foods." Dearka pushed a large slice of hawaiian pizza, a burger and fries, a bowl of soup, a garden salad, a seafood Alfredo pasta and lemonade towards her. "I'll eat whatever is left."
Milly didn't say anything, but grab the slice of pizza and started to devour it viciously.
"Slow down, Miriallia, you don't want to choke." Dearka said as he started on the burger.
At that, Miriallia started to cough violently and she quickly drank some lemonade. Dearka patted her back to help her.
"Told you so."
The eight of them steadily ate their lunch, while talking about recent events.
"So, Yzak, you didn't really tell us why you're in ORB with Shiho." Athrun said as he ate.
"I'm on vacation, Shiho wanted to come and asked me to bring her." Yzak said gruffly.
"Well, looks like the mighty Yzak is getting whipped by Shiho." Dearka said, giving his patented smirk. Everyone laughed.
"Shut up." Yzak threw a fry at him and it hit him square in the face.
Miriallia had started on the pasta, already finished the pizza and half the salad, when she got up suddenly.
"Washroom." Was all she said before she walked quickly to the washrooms. She was holding her stomach as she walked.
Dearka dropped his food and got up as well, sensing that something is wrong with her. He was about to go after her but Lacus beat him to it.
"Dearka, what are you going to do when you catch up to her, huh? You can't possibly go inside the girl's washroom." Lacus said sternly.
Dearka didn't know what to say, so he just sat back down, looking dejected.
"Don't worry, I'll go after her." Lacus said softly before she turned and went after Miriallia.
The others didn't have the mood to eat anymore as they were anxious about Miriallia. Even Yzak looked like he was concerned.
"Do you think Miriallia is all right?" Cagalli asked.
"I'm sure she's fine, she's a tough girl. Besides, Lacus is with her, so don't worry." Kira reassured her.
Meanwhile, with Lacus and Miriallia
"Milly, wait up… wait up, Milly!" cried Lacus as she tried to catch up to her quick pace, weaving through the tables and the crowds of people.
Lacus managed to catch up to her just outside the women's washroom. She grabbed Miriallia's arm and stopped her.
"Miriallia, tell me what's wrong." Lacus asked worriedly.
"Can't talk, got to-" She gagged and quickly ran inside, into an empty stall. Lacus followed her. She stood outside; trying to hear what was going on. She thought she heard Miriallia throwing up.
"Milly, are you all right? Are you throwing up?" Lacus called out to her. All she heard as a response was more coughing and gagging. Lacus heard a flush and Miriallia finally opened the stall door, looking pale.
"Miriallia, are you all right? What happened? Should we go to a doctor?" Lacus asked anxiously.
"Don't worry Lacus; this has been happening for over a week now, along with my weird food cravings. But I'm fine now. I'm sure it'snothing." Miriallia told her.
"A week? Haven't you seen a doctor yet?"
"No, I didn't think it was necessary."
"Wait a minute," Lacus said as she realized something, "Have you missed your period lately?"
"Actually, yes, how did you know?" Miriallia said surprised.
"And have you and Dearka been having…..sex lately?" Lacus asked hesitantly, saying the last part quietly.
"Well, yes, pretty much every week, why?" Miriallia said shyly, blushing madly, but that changed suddenly as her eyes widen in shock. "Wait, are you saying that-"
"Miriallia, I think you're pregnant."
A/N… Dum dum dum… ooh, how do you like that twist? You just thought that Yzak was the only surprise, didn't you? Muhahahaha, I am so sneaky. Anyways, I hope you liked this chapter. The pregnant Miriallia thing just came to me out of nowhere. Also, I'm not that familiar with pregnancy, only what I've learned in science class, which isn't much, so forgive me if I screwed up with anything. Anyways, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
