After 1 week…
Kira was walking around the building to get familiar with the facilities when he bumped into a silver-haired person having a face with 'watch-where-you're-going' written all over. The impact was so great, both of them fell to the floor with a loud bump.
"S-Sorry…" Kira rubbed his aching back.
"You should be! You weren't looking at where you were going!" the silver dude said.
"What? You're blaming me?" Kira points his finger at himself, "You were the one with your eyes closed!"
"Hey! I was looking straight ahead through my eyelids!" he yelled.
"Are you crazy? That's impossible!" Kira yelled back.
"Well, I am the guy that makes the impossible possible!" he stood proudly when he suddenly felt a knuckle hit his head in maximum force.
"YZAK! How many times do I have to tell you that it's my line?" a tall blond man glared at the silver haired show-off.
"Mwu! What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"I'm your boss…" Mwu's eyes narrowed and his eyebrow started to twitch as nerves popped on his head.
"Well, in a few days, you won't be. Once Athrun realizes how good I am, he'll make me vice-president for sure! When that happens, I'll fire you!"
"IF it happens."
"Doesn't he know, Mr.Mwu?" Kira asked.
"Well, only a few people know about you, and that includes me."
"So, if I asked other people the same question, they would ask me what the heck I was talking about…" Kira crossed his arms.
"Precisely." Mwu nodded his head.
"Excuse me, what on earth are the both of you talking about?" Yzak interrupted.
"Okay…" Mwu's eyeballs rolled towards Yzak, "Remember what you told me about being fired?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Yzak answered sarcastically.
"It won't happen!" Mwu's serious face turned into a huge grin.
"Dream on! Everybody knows that the Vice-Presidency was vacant for more than a week."
"Yeah, but the truth is it was filled after a few hours after it was emptied." Mwu smiled again.
"What are you talking about? If it was filled, who the heck would be good enough to be in that position? I'm sure it's none other than me." Yzak held his head high.
"WHAT?" Kira flinched, "You wish!"
"Huh? And just who are you? Get lost and go back to work!" Yzak pushed Kira to the floor.
"I am at work!" Kira stood up.
"You shouldn't have done that if I were you…" Mwu warned him.
Then, Yzak noticed Athrun walk behind Kira. Trying to look good and earn some points for promotion, he ran to talk to Athrun.
"Mr.President!" Yzak shouted.
"What is it, Yzak?"
"This guy was slacking off!" he pulled Kira by the sleeve, "..and I caught him!"
"Kira?"
"Hi there!" Kira waved his right hand.
"Moron! That's not how you greet the president!" Yzak hits Kira on the head.
"Umm… Yzak…" Athrun said, but Yzak ignored him and continued babbling about his 'good-job'.
"…when you're working, you're not supposed to be walking around!" Yzak yelled at Kira's ear.
"Umm…Yzak?"
"Yes, Mr.Zala?"
"Walking around is his one of his responsibilities."
"So, is he a security guard?"
"No. He walks around to check on slacking employees that need to be fired."
"Then, is he one of the General Managers?"
"No."
"Then what is he?"
"Vice President."
"WHAT?" Yzak's eyes widened and his jaws popped open.
"You heard me, he's the Vice President." Athrun repeated.
"Oh boy… not good…" Yzak said as he put Kira in an upright position and ran off.
"Well, Kira, I'm surprised you didn't do anything, considering that you already put the president through hell this past week." Athrun said.
"Actually, I blacked out for a few minutes after he hit me on the head." Kira scratched his head.
"That explains the silence… by the way, where is your secretary?" Athrun asked Kira.
"You mean Lacus?"
"Who else?"
"Well, she fell asleep after helping me with the paperworks."
"So that's the reason why you were wandering alone."
"I wasn't wandering. I was exploring! E-X-P-L-O-R-I-N-G!" Kira spelled out.
"Well, it's the same."
"What about you? Why are you out of your office?"
"Well, I uhh…" Athrun tried to explain.
"Listen, kids… you may have a higher position, but as someone that stands as your big brother, I'm telling you to SHUT UP!" Mwu yelled.
"Did he just shout at us?" Athrun asked Kira.
"Sorry about that. Anyway, you should stop arguing. After all, it's just like the other way in reverse."
"The other way in reverse?" Kira asked.
"Yes. It means it goes both ways…at least, that's what I think…" Mwu answered.
"Oh, alright."

Meanwhile, in the parking lot, Yzak started smashing his own car to bits when his friend approached him.
"Yzak? What's wrong with you? Why are you annihilating your car?" Dearka asked him.
"You're exaggerating, Dearka."
"Alright… why are you destroying your car?"
"Because somebody beat me to being the Vice-President."
"Who beat you?"
"I don't know him, but I heard Zala call him Kira."
"Kira? Oh, he may be that guy everyone is talking about… I think his name is Kira Yamato. Why don't you smash his car instead?"
"I'll get fired."
"Why? Nobody will see you."
"There are security cameras everywhere… I'll get busted and fired."
"Well, that's the only idea I have right now. Sorry, Yzak. I have to go. Someone's waiting for me."
"Who?"
"Nicol. He'll kill me if I don't show up today. I've been absent for a week!"
"Well, good luck with him." Yzak sighed.
"Same goes for you." Dearka ran towards the elevator.

A/N: sorry if the chapters are short, but I'll make them longer next time. As you can see above, Mwu said the title of the story. Anyway, I won't be able to update very frequently because classes have resumed, but I WILL continue updating! Please review! Less reviews, shorter chapters… just kidding! Please review, have mercy! I won't know how much the readers like it if you don't review. No flames, please! I'm begging you!
