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 Six: Angelic Voice

"We're going mom!" Alex and Athrun waved goodbye to Cagalli and left the house. She gleefully skips her way that made him wonder, "Why are you so jolly today?" he inquired to her but she ignored him. Girls, why are they so weird? Now, he was beginning to think like Yzak and Shinn.

When they reached their classroom…

She faced Athrun, "Antoine, didn't you know that today we will have a practical test in singing." He almost forgot to breathe for 30 seconds, "WHAT!" he shouted which made the other girls inside the room chuckle at his sudden reaction. She smiled at her evil attitude(she didn't told him yesterday), "Well, our music teacher told us that we can sing any song we like as long it would be more than one minute."

"Thanks for informing me." He said and began to think of what he will sing. It's been a long time since I sang…the last song I ever listened to was the Fields of Hope sang by the bitch Mia. He felt like chewing his fingernails in his nervousness but he had to be a man and think of something or else he'll be dead. Man, need to sing something or your daughter will think that you aren't talented! Got to think man! Got to thi—"Good morning class!" the cheerful voice of Lacus Clyne-Yamato greeted them with much enthusiasm as she entered the classroom together with her son Ezrael. Lacus only teach about twice a week because she had so many things to do. "Okay, who would like to lead the prayer?"

Someone raised his hand, "Teacher, not all of us are Christians, as in they also believe in Jesus as the son of God."

"Oh I see. Well, let say our own prayers later and start the test." She looked around, "Now who would like to start. Remember you also need to play the song in whatever music instrument, got it class?"

"Yes." They replied politely to their teacher.

"Mom, I want to start." Ezrael volunteered himself. "Okay" she nodded as she opened her record book. Ezrael stood in front, holding his electric guitar and winked at Alex and Alex winked back. This made a certain blue haired prince annoyed, Can't believe that their son likes to flirt! Anyway, Athrun you got to think dude or you'll be toasted!

Ezrael smiled and began to strum some of the strings of his electric guitar, he sang:

In this quiet night, I'm waiting for you

During that time, your smile has faded away

Now that a little time has passed,

Fond memories start to resurface.

At the place where stars fall,

I'm always wishing for your laughter.

Even though we're apart now

We can meet again, right?

From when has my smile faded this much

Since it was shattered by one mistake

Change only the precious things into light and

Go beyond the sky with fortitude.

To the place where stars fall,

I want my thoughts to reach you.

I am always by your side

Since I will embrace that coldness.

Even though we're apart now,

We will definitely be back together.

In the quiet night...

After that song he mad a small bow. "I can't believe that you sang that song but it would have been better if you had used an ordinary guitar or a piano."

This comment made Athrun Zala snicker and Lacus raise a brow in inquiry of his sudden snicker, "Is there any problem?"

Athrun stood up, "I think that some may had noticed his error in the first line, he would have sang it a bit song and during instrumentals, he would have swayed a little but he kept his mouth wide open, just like an idiot would do!' he started to laugh aloud and no one find it funny.

"Seems you know something about singing, you're next. What's your name?" she took her pen to write it down, "Antoine Schweiger." He seated on the piano's chair and started to play (He used crescendo in the beginning to add effect). He sang:

I know that you're hiding things

Using gentle words to shelter me

Your words were like a dream

But dreams could never fool me

Not that easily

"Save your tears cause I'll come back"

I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door

But still I swore

To hide the pain when I turn back the pages

Shouting might have been the answer

What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart

But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart

Though a thousand words

Have never been spoken

They'll fly to you

Crossing over the time and distance holding you

Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words

One thousand confessions

Will cradle you

Making all of the pain you feel seem far away

They'll hold you forever

The dream isn't over yet

Though I often say I can't forget

I still relive that day

"You've been there with me all the way"

I still hear you say

"Wait for me I'll write you letters"

I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor

But still I swore to hide the doubt

When I turn back the pages

Anger might have been the answer

What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait

But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late

Cause a thousand words

Call out through the ages

They'll fly to you

Even though we can't see I know they're reaching you

Suspended on silver wings

Oh a thousand words

One thousand embraces

Will cradle you

Making all of your weary days seem far away

They'll hold you forever

Oh a thousand words

Have never been spoken

They'll fly to you

They'll carry you home and back into my arms

Suspended on silver wings ohhh

And a thousand words

Call out through the ages

They'll cradle you

Turning all of the lonely years to only days

They'll hold you forever

Lacus can't stop applauding. She hugged him in joy, "tell me, would you like to join the choir? You have such angelic voice and it would be a waste if you won't use it. Please join." She pleaded. She even kneeled in front of him that made everyone gasped with their teacher's sudden pleading. He nodded, "YES!" she shouted and face him again, "You know, you can also be a singer. Do you want me to be your manager. Don't worry, I'll help you althroughout."

He shook his head, "Probably next time Mrs. Yamato. Ever since I wanted to be a food technologist and a business man." She pouted, "Okay but tell me if you change your mind. By the way, the choir has a practice later, lunchtime in the auditorium. See you later Antoine." She smiled at him and continued to call students for the practical test.

Alex seated beside him, "You never told me you have a good voice and you can play the piano!" she elbowed him in amazement. "Actually, I can also play the guitar, violin, harp, clarinet and the flute." He told her. Alex held his hand, "Can I be your girl friend starting right now?" His eyes widen at her sudden inquiry but he was able to crack a feign smile, "Why not?" he said and kissed her cheek which made Ezrael's eyebrows twitch and his fist clenched tightly.

Athrun smiled. I still have some luck left. He lightly chuckled to himself.
