Chapter 3: Perfect night for flight
Cagalli was in trouble. She was never in trouble! She was a thief. How could a thief be in trouble? Well no matter how you look at it she was. One thing about Cagalli Yula Attha, that only her brother knew.
Cagalli loathed, with a passion, dresses.
She never really knew where this hatred started but it is never going away, if Cagalli can help it. Lacus had offered to help her and Cagalli jumped at the chance. She really didn't know why. 'I guess I want to impress Athrun.' Cagalli thought. But now Cagalli can see how crazy Lacus and dresses can really be.
Lacus was at home shifting through her walk-in closet of dresses. Each of them color coded in there own section. It was a rainbow closet, with the color of shoes under them. Cagalli had never seen something so….so clean before.
And to think that she was going out with Kira, who's idea of hangout clothing would be a t-shirt and sweat pants. Cagalli had to sweat drop. Lacus walked gingerly towards the pink section until Cagalli quickly placed a hand on her shoulder. "I don't do pink." she said in a monotone. Lacus blinked but then giggled at her face. "Okay then. I still think pink is good for you, but we shall see." Lacus said. "Okay, colors for Cagalli. I've always wanted to dress you up." Lacus said happily clapping her hands.
"So your colors are red, dark blue, green, black, or white." Lacus said thoughtfully tapping her chin. "Well it's for that thing on the boat and a need for tight pants under the skirt." Cagalli said with a slight blush.
"Okay so red and white are out." Lacus said, no questions asked. "Okay" Cagalli said as Lacus walked past red. "Dark blue, I don't think it goes well with your look. So that is out as well." Lacus said tapping her finger on her chin once again. Cagalli only nodded.
"Green…" Lacus said in an airy voice, "You said you were going with Mr. Zala am I correct?" Cagalli nodded. "Then green it is." Lacus said with a smile. "Why?" Cagalli asked confused. "Well I have met Mr. Zala before. He has wonderful green eyes, does he not?" Lacus asked. Cagalli held a slight blush but nodded anyways.
"So then this one." Lacus said pulling out a strapless green dress that was a bit on the darker side. The gown was a velvet type and had diamonds like a waterfall from the breast down. "Whoa…" Cagalli muttered like when she was 4 and just entered a candy store. "Lacus, I can't take this. It looks way to pricey for a clumsy me." Cagalli said fingering the jeweled dress. "It's okay. An ex-boyfriend gave it to me." Lacus said with a giggle. "Okay fine." Cagalli mumbled taking the dress. "Yay!" Lacus clapped happily and gave Cagalli the matching purse and shoes.
--00--00--
Cagalli shifted slightly as she pulled the dress up. "Why did I get strapless again?" Cagalli wondered out loud. Kira who was dressed in a tux, eyes widened as Cagalli came from her room. She was dressed up in her dress with black high heels and a purse. She had only put on light dark green eye shadow but had her hair pulled back and pulled up.
"Dang you must really like this Athrun fellow." Kira said laughing, "No!" Cagalli protested, her cheeks red with embracement. "Well I'm going to pick up Lacus." Kira said grabbing his keys. "I'm sure Mr. Zala will be here soon." Kira said walking out the door.
Cagalli had butterflies in her stomach when the door closed. This had reminded her too much of prom and when she got stood up. Cagalli began to wonder as she looked at the clock. "7:05 He said he would be here right at seven." Cagalli said in a whisper. "Your over reacting Cagalli!" she scolded her self. Mentally slapping herself. "5 minutes is okay. Maybe he got a little lost."
As soon as she said this a knock on the door caught her attention. Cagalli quickly stood and answered it. She smiled when she saw Athrun there, relief washed over her. "Hi Athrun." Cagalli said with a blush as he gaped at her. "You look amazing." He said and took her hand and kissed it.
"Thankyou." she said flushed. He lead her to his car and when they got there her opened the door for her. When she sat down he closed it. "Well, here we go." Athrun said once he got into his side and started the car.
--00--00--
The ball of the ship was well lit and very nice. When Cagalli and Athrun walked in Cagalli spotted Kira and Lacus and tugged Athrun to come along with her. He was a bit confused but followed along nevertheless.
"Ah, Cagalli." Kira called with a wave. Lacus also turned and waved. "I knew that dress would look great on you." Lacus said giving her a hug.
"So this is Athrun Zala?" Kira questioned looking at the blue haired man. "Yes. I am. Has Cagalli told you lots about me?" Athrun questioned as Lacus continued to comment on Cagalli's looks. "Not really. She just mentioned that you guys have the same profession." Kira said knowing that Cagalli would kill him if he really told Athrun all the things Cagalli had said about him.
"Oh I see." Athrun said smiling as Cagalli giggled along to a joke Lacus had told her. "Cagalli…she is so different from any other girl I've met." Athrun muttered. "Yes, my sister is pretty different." Kira mumbled back.
"Yes, Athrun, this is my brother's girlfriend, Miss Lacus Clyne." Cagalli said taking Athrun's arm. "Nice to meet you Miss Clyne." Athrun said with a nod. Lacus locked elbows with Kira and nodded back.
A slow music started to play in the background and Lacus and Kira headed for the dance floor. Cagalli watched the couples walking to the dance floor and felt Athrun shift a bit. "Would you like to, umm dance?" Athrun asked. She was a bit taken a back. Cagalli was never asked this before.
"Sure I would love to dance, but please note I suck." Cagalli said smiling. Athrun smiled and lead Cagalli to the dance floor. He placed his hand on her waist and took her other hand on his and slowly lead Cagalli into a waltz.
--00--00--
It was a slow dance and Cagalli and Athrun had been dancing for at least an hour. We are happy to report that no toes where hurt in the making of this hour long dance. "Care to get a drink?" Athrun questioned as he led her off the dance floor. "Yeah." Cagalli said with a sigh. Athrun smirked, "Had enough dancing?"
"Only a little." Cagalli said standing by a window in the ships side. "I'll get the drinks." Athrun said smiling and turned to get the drinks. Cagalli closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was still trying to get her heart beat normal.
"Hello miss." a man's voice called. Cagalli quickly opened her eyes and saw a man with purple hair. (Runs away from throwing objects from fans tired of Yunna and Cagalli hate fics) "My name is Yunna, It's nice to meet you." Yunna said grabbed in her hand and kissing it. Cagalli quickly pulled it away though.
"Sooooooooo, what does a cute little baby girl like you doing here?" Yunna asked with a wink. "Not being here with you." Cagalli retorted (I love that word) as she turned away. "Hold on baby." Yunna said grabbing Cagalli's bare shoulder. "Pardon me, but you are messing with my date for this evening, Mr. Yunna." Athrun's voice called making Cagalli and Yunna turn.
"Why Miss Cagalli did I keep you waiting?" Athrun asked with a wink. "Not so long." Cagalli said smiling. "Well then good say Mr. Yunna." Athrun said wrapping an arm around Cagalli's shoulder and leading her away.
"Thanks for saving me back there." Cagalli said smiling. "Well it's no problem. As long as I get repaid." Athrun said with a wink. "Oh Zala! You're a pervert! Get away from me!" Cagalli yelled and tried to get away from Athrun.
"No!" Athrun yelled "Hey I didn't mean it like that!" Cagalli stopped struggling and looked at him. "I did ask you to be my partner tonight. didn't I?" Athrun said letting her go. "Fine." Cagalli said as she headed for the front of the boat.
"Do you know?" Cagalli asked. "Do I know what?" Athrun asked confused. "Do you know what the plan are for Orb, EAF, and ZAFT after the new Saint Ann?" Cagalli asked. "No…" Athrun said softly. "War…" Cagalli mumbled. Athrun's eyes got wide and he looked shocked. "There all planning attacks on each other. So that's why I-" Cagalli said but stopped short as she realized who she was talking to.
"That's why you?…" Athrun questioned. "I…well I don't think it's so great. I hate war…" Cagalli covered for herself. Athrun smiled. "Yeah I would hate that as well." Athrun said stepping forward and leaned on the rail just like Cagalli. "Your so close to me." Cagalli whispered. "Well why wouldn't I be? We're friends." Athrun said smiling. Cagalli looked a bit blank.
'Mt first friend. My only true friend. But does he like me or the fake me?' Cagalli wondered. "I have to say that I have liked you ever since I met you." Athrun said, his face serious now. "I feel a 'but' coming on…" Cagalli said softly. "But there is another. I'm obsessed with that person. So I can't say that my feelings can go any rather." Athrun said holding her shoulders. "Who else are you obsessed with?" Cagalli questioned a bit fearful. "Golden Orb…" Athrun said looking into her eyes.
Somewhere deep down inside of her was…happy. Athrun was obsessed with her. Well her other self, but it was still her. Athrun looked troubled at Cagalli's blank face. Then he did something shocking!
GASP! I wonder what he did! Well know because I've written out most of the next chapter but I'm gonna tell! WAHAHA!
(Runs away from rotten fruit being thrown at me) Okay I'll give some previews! Gosh!
One word came into her head, 'Soft'
Cagalli ran back quickly
Both people closed there eyes as there lips were about to touch...
"I can't believe you pulled it off!"
"Oh come on!"
His face dropped in horror at the site...
"Yeah he knews me well."
Okay that's all I have written. So till I get the rest of this chapter done. Laters!
