Dearka woke up the next morning in his quiet bedroom, in his quiet house, well almost quiet, if you ignore the loud arguing of Yzak and his cousin Rena in the background. 'They've been at it all night, don't they ever sleep?' Dearka thought. It had started as a simple game of chess, Yzak accused Rena of cheating, and when Dearka didn't agree with him, he got a very black eye. Then when he asked them to give up and just go to bed, which he realizes now was a very bad decision; Dearka got kicked out of his own kitchen. Since then, the two cousins have been arguing none stop during the whole night.

'I think it's time to call for back up.' Dearka decided as he entered the kitchen, which was a whole mess. Seems like the Yzak and Rena haven't just been arguing but trying to kill each other as well, seeing how horrible the place looked.

"Did you two finally stop?" Dearka asked.

"Shut… up…. Dearka…" Yzak panted sounding very tired.

"Yeah… I… agree…" Rena replied sounding equally as tired.

"I… just need… a small… break… then I'll…" He fell asleep. "Continue…" Rena finished for him and fell asleep on the couch. 'Right, and by then I'll get help.' Dearka thought as he stepped over Yzak to reach the phone.


In the nice house by the beach where Lacus and Kira was everything was extremely calm and relaxing. The weather had been wonderful and perfect.

"Hello, this is Lacus speaking." Lacus said happily as she picked up the phone. "Oh, hi Dearka long time no see." She said.

"Listen Lacus, is it possible for you to come here for a few month, I'm really desperate here." Dearka begged.

"But what about the orphans?" Lacus asked.

"Ask that guy to take care of them, please Lacus." Dearka suggested.

"I guess we could use a little time off." Lacus said giving in.

"Thanks so much, oh and don't forget to bring Kira. When could you get here?" Dearka asked.

"We should be there by tonight." Lacus answered.

"See you then, bye." Dearka hanged up.

"Bye." She sighed.

"Was that Dearka on the phone Lacus?" Kira asked as he walked by carrying one of the orphans.

"Yes, it seems that we will be spending some time on PLANTS with him." Lacus answered.

"That's not like him at all." Kira said remembering how Dearka had acted on Arcangel.

"Well, it seems that he needs our help. Could you start packing please Kira? I need to inform the kids about this." Lacus sighed.

"Alright." Kira answered putting down the orphan he had been carrying.


While Athrun and Cagalli was in the exact opposite situation, due to a small accident, there was media people swarming the mansion. Athrun had to barricade the door to keep them out. He also moved most of the furniture against the door; he was just adding his own weight to the load of furniture when the phone started ringing.

"Athrun, the phone is ringing!" Cagalli called.

"Could you please get it, I'm kind of busy." Athrun called back.

"What do you mean busy?" Cagalli asked.

"I'm trying to keep the media out!" He shouted as the media kept on breaking through the barricaded door.

"Oh alright." She said picking up the phone.

"Who is this?" She asked.

"It's Dearka Cagalli, how are things on earth?" Dearka said.

"Oh, hey Dearka, hold on for a second would you. JUST FIRE A FEW GUN SHOTS TO SCAR THEM AWAY ATHRUN! Now, what was it that you were saying?" She asked.

"Just as violent as always I see." Dearka laughed.

"Shut up, what do you want again?" She asked threateningly.

"You want to spend some time with me on PLANTS?" Dearka asked.

"I don't know." Cagalli said.

"Kira and Lacus will be there too." He added.

"Well, I guess I got nothing else to do. Sure, why not, see you tonight." Cagalli agreed.

"Bye." Dearka hanged up.

"Cagalli, who was it?" Athrun asked trying to keep the mansion doors closed.

"Dearka, we're going to PLANTS right now Athrun, so start packing for me." Cagalli ordered.

"Just hold on for a second." Athrun said.

"What do you mean hold a second; do you have anything better to do?" Cagalli asked.

"Yeah, trying to keep this door closed." Athrun said as the media tried to break down the door again.

"Fine, I'll pack. How many packs of bullets do you think I should bring Athrun?" She asked as if that was a normal question.

"I don't really care right now, any idea how we'll get out of here with the media swarming us?" He asked.

"We'll just sneak out back door." She said.

"There's a back door?" Athrun asked not believing is ear.

"Yeah, now come on, let's go." She said throwing him a suit case.

"That was fast." Athrun commented.

"I had them packed for ages just in case we had to evacuate the place, now let's go already." She said impatiently.

Except just as they were getting out the back door Athrun stepped on the neighbour's cat. This got everyone's attention very quickly. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, RUNNNNNNNNN!" Cagalli Screamed grabbing Athrun's arm and started sprinting, with a mob of media people chasing them closely behind.


That's the second chapter; I hope it's not that bad. Please review.
