Topsy-turvy

Summary:

Athrun Zala is just the typical kind of dad that is such a workaholic and never attends in any of her daughter's school activities. One day, a fairy cursed him and he turns back into his 18-year-old self. What will he do? Please R and R!

Chapter Three: The Coffee Bean Teacher

"There you are, Antoine." Alex called out to him.

He breathes slowly, "Sorry, the teacher talked to me."

"Is that so? Well our next subject is Technology and Livelihood Education and for today, its agriculture with Mr. Waltfeld." She informed him and began to rub thousands of sun block to her snow-white complexion skin for she knew that their teacher would let them plant something again under the sun even though it's already noon.

"Isn't he the coffee bean guy?" he inquired as he tried to remember the former desert tiger.

She nodded, "yeah, how'd you find out?"

He shrugged, "My instinct tells me."

In the garden…

"Good afternoon class." He smiled wider as he saw Alex it under a shady tree. He always cares and loves for his students, "Yamato, Alex and the guy I don't who is beside Alex, sit here in front."

Ezrael frowned while Alex sighed and wear her hat.

"Hey Zala, no hats in my class." He removed the hat from her head. "Anyway, for today, you kids will plant santan flowers. The quota is 15 so if I were you, get your butts out there and you two." He called Alex and Ezrael who turned back to him, "Stay under the sun. You two need some tanning."

"In this heat? Give me a break 'cher?" Ezrael complained.

Andy made the tsk tsk gesture, "You two snow whites should be tan for a change. Now go!" he pushed them away and started to laugh evilly.

"Well, there's nothing we can do right–Antoine, what are you doing?" she was surprised to see that he was already planting three of the said flowers.

"Planting." He replied the obvious.

"I know but do you love to do that, I mean, look at this scourging heat for Christ's sake!" she complained but he continued.

"Well we can't do anything about the heat, can we?" he said as he again digs the soil and placed another of the said flower in place.

She sighed, "See ya later." She said as she started to dig.

Andy's POV

Hey, I think I have seen this kid before, somewhere in the desert or in PLANTS. Well, he seems somewhat familiar and he is planting in hyper speed! God knows how many did he plant already. Oh well, probably he just like planting, just like me!

Normal POV

After thirty minutes…

"TIME'S UP!" He shouted and everyone assemble in the center except for Athrun of course.

"Hey Antoine, time's up already." He hissed to him but Athrun continued to plan and to dig.

"Ahem," Andy approached him, "Young man, time is up already. Don't tell me you haven't planted anything that's why you're rushing?"

He looked up. Then, Andrew Waltfeld saw the blue haired prince, "Sorry sir, I must have lost track of time."

"Umm…anyway," he almost stammers for he already recognized the guy, "Let's see how many did you kids planted starting of with Yamato and Alex."

"I have a name you know!" Ezrael protested.

After three minutes of counting except of Athrun's, "HAhaHAha! Your class only planted 38! What a joke!"

Athrun raised his hand, "Sir, I think you forgot mine?"

"Really?" he approached and inspected Athrun's work. Frankly, he was shock, "You…planted 90!"

"Actually, if I don't have this stupid back ache from that darn back flips, probably I have planted about 150 or so." He replied.

Andy started to applaud for him, "Class, this is a true person with a green thumb! Tell me, from who did you learn this?"

He looked up to the sky, "From my mother. She's an agriculturist in Junius 7 of course, before the bloody Valentine tragedy had happened."

"Tell me, what's your mother's name?" He was kind of excited.

"Lenore."

A shocking fact slapped his face, "Do you mean Lenore Zala?"

"How'd you find out?" Alex raised a brow, intrigued with all of the praises, inquiries and attention that Andy is giving Athrun.

"Off to your next class!" Andy said and pulled Athrun aside. When every student had left, Andy faced Athrun, "Dude, what happened to you? Did someone curse you or something?"

"Yeah, Mia the witch." He replied, sighing.

"She's a very irritating one. Anyway, does blondie know this?"

'No." he whispered, "We haven't even meet recently."

"Anyways, go now, your class mates might be finding you." He told him.

"Bye and thanks!" he said as he tried to catch up with his daughter. "Hey!"

"Hi Antoine." She replied plainly, "I remembered that our next teacher is absent so we can go home already."

"But my…parents aren't home," he lied.

"Don't worry," she feigned a smile, "The principal said you can stay in my house as well."

"Really? Thanks a lot Alex." He smiled back at her.
