Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed / Destiny

Note: I think I kind of did my chapter 2 pretty well. Some people said the story progressed too fast so I'll try slow them down and make longer stories, but for this chapter, it'll have to be short. Sorry! Also, I added one more pairing: Dearka and Mirialla (Milly). Hopefully that would slow down the story a bit. Anyway, pls read on… …

Chapter 3: The Secret About Mirialla

"Well, show's over." Milly said. "Let's go back to the hostel…" Cagalli said, she saw Kira and Lacus and then continued, she eyed them sadly and continued, "Well, you two still have some business right? We'll go first." Lacus then said cheerfully, "Oh no need for that!" The others looked confused. "I stay at the Victoria hostel. You all must be, right?" Laucs said hopefully.

"We are very sorry Lacus. But we stay at Serenity hostel. So if you could just…" Stella replied, wishing she would not say what she wants to prevent making the situation look more awkward.

"Ok. I'll just go." Lacus said, disappointed, then she looked at Kira, smiled sweetly and said, "See you tomorrow Kira. Bye!" Then Lacus went off. Cagalli dragged Athrun nearer to her and said, "Athrun…" But Athrun stopped her and said, "I know what to do. I'll talk to Kira." Cagalli nodded. The gang talked cheerfully to hide the awkwardness about their day in school.

Back in Serenity hostel…

"We just go to our room. See you at dinner." Kira said. "See you at dinner, Stella." Shinn said, kissing her. "Shinn…" Stella said, blushing. Shinn laughed.

In the girls' room…

As expected, Fllay was at her desk, doing her work. She had changed to a pink T-shirt and a Bermudas. "Oh, you're back." Fllay said with a smile as she turned and saw them.

Mirialla is Fllay's best friend. She knew that Fllay was just trying to be cheerful. She was running away from the truth and did her homework to forget about the whole incident.

"Oh come here Fllay." Milly said in a comforting tone. She lead her to her bed that was beside her desk. Stella and Cagalli surround them, sitting behind them, kneeling.

Stella put her hand on Fllay's shoulder and Fllay looked at her. "Are you okay?" Stella said worriedly. "What are you talking about, Stella. I'm fine." Fllay said forcefully.

"Fllay, if you want to cry, we wouldn't laugh. We're there for you. You are our best friend." Stella continued. Fllay, upon hearing that, she shed a tear, then cried loudly, facing down and tears streamed down her face.

She was feeling terrible. Looking at the guy she loved with another girl. How can she take that?

Milly said, "You know, Fllay?" Fllay and the others looked at her. "I liked this guy but he's attached. I can feel the pain you're going through." The atmosphere in the room was tense.

Cagalli relaxed it and said cheerfully, "Oh Milly. Why didn't you tell us about it? Who's that fortunate guy?" Milly didn't want to reveal but the others, including Fllay, kept pestering her. In the end, Milly gave in and told them about the guy and how she came to know and like him…
