A/N: Okay, after 4 chapters, I noticed that I haven't written a disclaimer yet, so here it goes:

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam SEED and/or Gundam SEED Destiny. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this disclaimer in the first place.

I'm not sure about the spellings though… I got the 'LeCrueset' spelling from the back of the Gundam SEED VCD released by Ban Kee Trading, the dudes that import all the Gundam and Zoids stuff.

Mwu was supervising his team during the programming stage for the story mode of his 'little game' when Athrun entered the room, which surprised Mwu because Kira was usually the person doing the visits.

"What brought you here?" Mwu asked

"I came to tell you about a new General Manager." Athrun answered.

"Another one? Not again… That's the third one this month… First, Rau LeCrueset… Second, Natarle Badgiruel… Third… who's third?"

"You'll meet her soon enough." Athrun reassured.

"Well, I hope she's not like Natarle…" Mwu sighed.

"Don't worry… you'll like her."

"I hope so… if I don't, I'll kill her."

"And if you do, no salary for this month." Athrun grinned.

"Do you have to be so mean?"

"Alright, half a salary for this month."

"Oh come on! Have mercy!"

"Whatever you do, I'm sure it won't change my mind." Athrun walked away.

Mwu was on his knees, tears were gushing like a waterfall…literally, and his jaws were hanging open. Suddenly, a brown-haired woman walked up to him and lowered herself to his level.

"Excuse me, is something wrong?" she asked.

"Yeah…sniff there's a chance that I won't be able to get half my salary for this month…" he said.

"I'm sure it's not that bad."

"It is… that means I can't buy that 52 inch TV I wanted."

"That's too bad…"

"Yeah… I've been wanting to watch my favorite movie with that."

"You'll just have to wait for next month."

"I guess so… anyway, this is the first time I've seen you here… Are you a new employee?"

"Yes, I am."

"What's your name?"

"Murrue Ramius, what about you?"

"I'm Mwu LaFlaga, the guy who's famous for making the impossible possible!"

"So, you're the Mwu Mr. Zala was talking about."

"What do you mean?"

"He hired me as a General Manager and he said that I should find you if I needed any help."

"Well, do you need any help?"

"Actually, I don't. I was just walking by when I saw your waterfalls." She giggled.

"Please stop that, it's killing me."

"So, why would you not get half of your pay this month?"

"Well…" he thought for a bit, "…that? I'm over it already. Working with you is better than a full pay."

"Really?" Murrue raised an eyebrow.

"Yup… and since we already met, why don't I take you on a tour around the building. You could easily get lost here."

"Sure. I'd love that." Murrue nodded.

"Let's go." Mwu walked with a big smile on his face, followed by Murrue.

Meanwhile…

Dearka was busy cleaning up the remnants from Yzak's car after days of non-stop pounding when a girl approached him.

"Excuse me? Are you the janitor here?"

"WHAT?" Dearka shouted as he took a look on his outfit.

"So, are you?"

"No I'm not! Where would you find a janitor wearing corporate attire?"

"Here." Points at the guy mopping the floor.

"WHAT? They're not supposed to wear that!"

"Well, they already did."

"Ugh… Who the heck are you anyway? You shouldn't be here! Visitors' parking is two levels below us!"

"I'm not a visitor. I'm here because someone called me to be here."

"And just who could that 'someone' be? They can't just let people in!"

As if on cue, a black Ferrari entered the parking lot. It parked near where the two were having an argument. The passenger door opened and Lacus came out. After that, the driver's door opened and out goes Kira.

"Oh, hi Kira!" the girl waved at him.

"Oh… hi there, Mir!" Kira waved back as Mir ran towards them.

"Who is she Kira?" Lacus asked.

"She's a friend of mine… that leave's me wondering… Where's Tolle?"

"Tolle?"

"Her boyfriend. She doesn't usually go anywhere without her 'loyal assistant'."

"Oh… I see…" Lacus lets out a sigh of relief.

"What was that for?"

"What was what for?"

"The sigh."

"Yes, the sigh."

"Oh, it was nothing."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure!" Lacus blushed.

"If you say so. You shouldn't be hiding anything from me, I'm your boss…" he trailed off. Lacus was disappointed by the 'I'm your boss' part. She was about to walk turn around and walk away when Kira continued, "…and I'm your friend as well, right?"

Lacus just nodded and smiled as she grabbed Kira's arm and cling on him like there's no tomorrow, which of course made Kira blush. Mir finally reached them. (A/N: I'm sure it makes you wonder, how far did Mir run? If you don't know, I don't know either.)

"Kira! I finally found you!" Mir said as she gasped for air.

"Mir! You're too early for the meeting."

"Meeting? I thought you said we were going to see the President?"

"We are… once we are in the meeting."

"That explains it… so, who's your girlfriend?"

"Well… she's not my girlfriend… at least, not yet…" Kira whispered to himself.

"What did you say, Yamato? I didn't quite catch that?" Mir teased him.

"I said she's not my girlfriend!" his face turned red.

"No… the part after that!"

"I didn't say anything after that!"

"Yes, you did!"

The argument continued when Dearka came running in.

"I finally found you! Trespassers aren't allowed here!" Dearka leaned on the wall.

"Relax, Dearka. She's with me?"

"She is?"

"Yeah."

"Alright. Can I talk to you, Mr.Yamato?"

"Sure… but please… have pity on me and call me Kira."

They moved away from the girls' hearing range when Dearka whispered something to Kira.

"Can you give me her number?" Dearka asked.

"Nope."

"Come on! Please? Old buddy, old pal, old friend." Dearka begged.

"NO! Even if I wanted to, I can't. She's taken."

"WHAT? NO!" Dearka shouted, with his mental image of himself shattered to dust.

"Is something wrong?" Lacus asked as they walked nearer to the two boys.

"No, nothing's wrong." Kira smiled and went beside Lacus.

Mir went near Dearka and poked him, but there was no response.

"He's petrified." Mir kept on poking.

Dearka was frozen solid. His mouth was fully opened, his eyes were wide open as well. His face had an expression with dumped written all over it.

"Let's leave him. He'll recover." Kira said.

"Are you sure?" Mir asked with uncertainty.

"Yup. You'll see him in his office in a few hours." Lacus answered.

"Let's go…" Kira said as he led the way into the building.

…………………………………………………………………………………………...

Inside the building…

Kira was walking with Lacus clinging to him and Mir was following them. They walked through the hallways when they walked into another pair.

"Mwu?" Kira asked.

"Oh… it's you. So, you're officially a couple, aren't you?" Mwu pointed at Lacus and Kira.

"No we're not!" Kira shouted.

"You know, kid? You should be more honest with your feelings. If you're not a couple, why are you letting her cling to you like that?"

"Well… it doesn't bother me…" a grin appeared on Kira's face, "What about you? Is she your girlfriend?" he pointed at Murrue.

"Hey, kid! Slow down! We just met!" Mwu defended himself.

"Whatever…" Kira's eyes narrowed and his grin became bigger.

"Kira, I don't like that look of yours…"

"Hehehe… have fun!" Kira waved as they walked into that floor's lobby.

In the lobby, Kira escorted Mir to one of the unoccupied rooms.

"You could stay here until the meeting starts. I have to go back to my office to sign more papers, though I'm glad they get less and less everyday." Kira explained.

"Alright. I'll see you guys in two hours."

"Alright."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

An hour has passed. Kira was going through the rest of the papers when he noticed that Lacus was spacing out for the past hour. Lacus, on the other hand, was having a series of flashbacks.

Lacus' flashback(s)

"You shouldn't hide anything from me, I'm your boss…and your friend…"Kira said.

The scene faded and another started…

"Well… she's not my girlfriend… at least, not yet…" Kira whispered to himself.

The scene ended and another flashback started…

"Oh… it's you. So, you're officially a couple, aren't you?" Mwu pointed at Lacus and Kira.

"No we're not!" Kira shouted.

"You know, kid? You should be more honest with your feelings. If you're not a couple, why are you letting her cling to you like that?"

"Well… it doesn't bother me…"

End of Flashbacks…

While staring at Lacus, Kira heard the same thing in his head, over and over again, like a broken CD that would repeat itself.

"You know, kid? You should be more honest with your feelings. If you're not a couple, why are you letting her cling to you like that?"

Kira thought about what Mwu said and failed to notice that Lacus was already staring back at him.
