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 Four: The Goddess of Victory

After 30 minutes of traveling, Athrun and Alex had reached Alex' house!

"You got to meet my mom." She said to him, "She's really nice and all. I'm sure you're going to love her."

Now, Athrun is feeling like a teenage boy, with his girl friend, meeting with her parents and asking for their approval of their relationship. Nevertheless, of course, in reality, it was not like that.

Then, Alex holds the knob and turned it. As the door open, it revealed a goddess indeed! Actually, to tell you guys the truth, Athrun's nose almost bleed! Why? Never did he see Cagalli wearing a skirt in the house. To add to it, it is a mini skirt! ( Thank me that I didn't made it a micro)

"Hey honey!" Cagalli hugged her daughter, "How's your day?"

"Brilliant mom!" she lied because she was feeling a little jealous of Athrun.

"Now who might this guy be?" she pointed at Athrun.

"Oh," she remembered, "Mom, this is Antoine Schweiger, new student but his parents are somewhere abroad right?"

He nodded and shook hands with her. God, he did not know that her hands were this smooth.

"Nice to meet you, Antoine." She smiled at him but he knew that it wasn't the smile she shown him about 18 years ago. She turned to Alex, "Alex, prepare his room and the dinner table. Don't worry, I've cooked already."

Alex left. "YOU CAN COOK!" he said in disbelief.

Cagalli knew that only a certain blue (Athrun), brunette (Kira) and raven (Shinn) haired coordinator would say that to her. She tried to calm her erupting nerves, "Yes I can. Doesn't your mother cook for you and your dad?"

"Actually, she is a great cook and an agriculturist at the same." He answered back, not minding their 'age gap'.

"What about your father? What does he do?" she seated in the sofa and he as well.

"My father is a council member in PLANTS." Came his reply.

"You know," she encircle her arm around his shoulders, "you kinda remind me of my handsome yet never comes home husband."

"How can you tell?" he feigned his curiosity.

"Your looks. It's exactly the same and the way you speak and how you reacted. What did you say? Uh, I remember it now, 'YOU CAN COOK!'''

He felt melting. If he is an agent, he would be busted.

"The Table is all set!" Alex's head popped up from one room.

She took Athrun's hand, it felt so warm, "Coming Alex!" she shouted back and glanced at him, "Shall we go?" he didn't know why did all of a sudden he became stiff but thank God, he manage to nod in approval and walk with her to the dinner table.

In The Dinner table…

The arrangement in the dinner table was quite odd for him. Before, he sat in the chair of the 'man of the house' but now, he didn't. It was Cagalli who sits there and he was facing Alex because they were seated across each other.

Athrun leaned to the table, enough for Alex to notice him, "Is this edible?" he whispered to her.

All of a sudden she laughed. "Mom, Antoine asked me, 'Is this edible?' Oh Antoine, didn't you know that my mom is a great cook? She's better than my aunt Lacus."

Cagalli faced him, "I've noticed that you kept on criticizing my cooking, tell me about your mother, you told me that she's a great cook, didn't you?"

A shocking reality hit him, he was referring again to the Cagalli he knew years ago. The one who never faces the challenge of cooking but now, it seems that she had by passed it somehow. "Well, my mom owned a restaurant in Junius seven and she's the head chef also in the main branch of Le Couer de France (did I spell it right?)

She nodded, "I see but why do you mean by owned?"

"It was stationed in Junius seven but it was destroyed before the bloody valentine tragedy."

Something was wrong of what he had said, "But if I'm correct, you weren't born before that incident so how come your mom owned a restaurant in Junius seven?"

"Well," he tried to think of some excuse, "What I mean was, she was my mom to be. Yeah, that's right. I always get that information wrong." He cocked his head to the side.

She looked at the clock, it read 8:00. She stood up. "I think we had enough to eat so you kids go to bed straight and Antoine," Athrun looked back at her, "I'm sorry what happened about your mom to be." She said with a tint of sarcasm that only an adult can understand.

"Thanks." He said and left.

This kid is strange…it's like something that I've ever wished for is in him, she said to herself as she cocked her head to the side and reached for the phone, Cagalli Yula Athha, never give up to know what is under the sheep's clothing. She thought as she dialed a number.

Back with Athrun and Alex…

"It is kind of disrespect…" Alex stopped walking.

He raised a brow due to his curiosity, "Of what?"

"The way you talk to my mom, it's kind of disrespect. The way you commented with her cooking." She entered her room and locked it.

A smile was seen on his face, She really loves her, does she? He thought and entered a room that he though that was his…

Back with Cagalli…

"Yeah and this kid kinda looks like him." She told Kira.

"Antoine? My kid was actually jealous! He thought that he was getting Alex from him but it turns out that he was only with her because he is new and his parents were on abroad or something like that."

"Anyways, thanks for the information Kira." She hang up the phone and went to her room.

Cagalli rubs her eyes and entered her room. Whenever she feels sleepy, like tonight, she usually just wear her silk sleeping gown (of course she's wearing her under garments) She yawns and laid on her bed, Athrun, why are you still in my mind? You look like the kid. Funny, I thought he was you and I almost kissed the kid in one point. She thought before she entered dream land and hugged a certain 'pillow'. The certain 'pillow' turned around, hugged her back and whispered to her ear, "Cagalli, I still love you." Then, he dreamt about her and he thought that he must be with her as long as they're both alive.
