Hello to all my wonderful readers, sorry for the delay…I, Melanie Wigner, have made a HUGE mistake! I told M0a- 103 that I was going to give her recognition for this story...well it's never too late, right M0a- 103, lmfao! I just wanted to say that you rule and I love your fic about Dearka and Millie in their assignment together, lol. You gave me the idea to make them go to school. When I saw that you were readin' the fic, I was like M0a- 103...hmm, M0a- 103...Oh crap! lol. So...It's a 'lil late but I hope you're happy with my appreciation all the same:)

U LOVE IT, U KNOW YOU DO! Oh, and Yzak...I donno, I was in a moment!

MXC - the show - rocks my socks-YOU KNOW IT! Lmfao...I like someone who has a sense of humor likeI do...so thank you, I laughed so hard when you said that.

Say it ain't so
Athrun stepped out from the vehicle and walked up the steps. He took one more look at the address on the paper he was givin and confirmed that he was correct. He took his eyes from the paper and looked up at the small one-floor house.
"I guess this is it," Athrun took a deep breath and walked up the cold, pavement steps. He knocked on the door twice. After about five silent seconds, he heard rapid movement of feet rushing across the floor. The door swung open and he was greeted with a tiny but warm hug. The hugger pulled away from him and smiled up.
"C-Cagalli,"
"Damn right!"
Kira's smiling face popped over Cagalli's shoulder and he stepped infront of the exited blonde. He extended a welcoming, secure hand. "Long time no see, huh Athrun..."
"You have no idea," he showed a relieved smile as he took the hand.
"Well!...Come in!" Athrun was pulled in by Cagalli's forcful weight and she pushed him into a hard but somewhat relaxing sofa chair.
"It's leather..."
"Leather?"
"Yeah, from like, animals,"
"Animals? Well, we don't have any real animals up in PLANT so...I wouldn't know. Hey wait you guys...you'll never guess who I saw in the shuttle just this morning...-"
DING DONG! (I donno why...ButI find that hillarious...DING DONG! HA!)
Athrun was rudely interupted.
Cagalli rushed to the door, swung it open and bear hugged the limp and unexpecting body that was just kindly standing there.
Athrun forgot all about his angry emotion when he saw the face ofa familiar strawberry-blonde. It was her. The one that got her heart destoyed because of him. He killed her boyfriend in the last war. He looked away from her, sympathetically staring at the floor like it just died. He knew that she lost the most horrible thing you can lose in a war. She didn't lose her life, or her mind, she lost her heart.
"Hello Athrun," a cheery voice called from behind. Soft, slender fingers rested on his shoulder as if to greet him.
Athrun was suprised to find the girl smiling behind him. "Oh, u-uum, h-hi," his nerves were rising. It was that awful feeling how he didn't know what to say and his mind went blank. He chose the only sentence he could possibly think of. "How are you, Miriallia?" he knew her name? That was odd. He'd talked to her before but he never really knew her. The name just flew out of his mouth.
"Wow, it's really nice that you remembered my name, I wasn't expecting that...I'm fine, how are you?"
"Same old..." she smiled as if to say that it was good that things were normal in his life. Kira decided that it was getting a little awkward between the two.
"So, uum, Athrun..." Athrun looked over.
"Hmm?"
"Has your life been...nice?" nice...that was the only thing he could ask. What was he supposed to say, 'So Athrun...How's life without the war?' Sure it may not seem like a bad question at all, but the last thing he wanted to do was bring up the war.
"Actually, not bad. It's nice to be a normal, teenage kid for a change..." Kira smiled, knowing all too well what Athrun was talking about.
The immature Cagalli, being fed up with the boring conversation, picked up the phone and dialed some numbers. "Lacus? Hey. You wanna come over, Athrun's here..."
Athrun jumped when he heard a really loud, "ARE YOU SERIOUS! REALLY? OH MY GOSH! I'LL BE RIGHT OVER!"
Cagalli was holding the phone away from her ear already when she hung it up. Everyone started laughing except for Athrun who thought that it was really out of personallity for Lacus to shout like that. "What's up with Lacus?"
"I donno..." Cagalli replied. "She's been like this for a while now. She's all jumpy and she seems so undisturbed. Kind of like how she was before the war...just a bit more hyper now,"
"Why's that?"
Everyone started to laugh. "She discovered sugar..."
"Oh..okay," everyone was laughing and Athrun didn't know how to react. It was kind of getting embarassing, he didn't know what to do. "Uum, Kira?"
Kira's laughter died down. "Yeah?"
"Do you have any water?"
"Oh...I have better than that. I got pepsi, seven up, root beer, coors, molson, sprite, dr. pepper...or juice," Kira smiled up at him.
"Who what where when how?"
Kira sighed and got up from his seat. He pulled Athrun by the sleeve into the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Holy crap..." Athrun gazed in aw at all of the flavourful foods and drinks.
"Coors? Molson? They're the best,"
"What are they?"
"It's alchohol...beer,"
"Alchohol! No way! I'm not aloud to have alchohol, can't you get drunk?"
Kira laughed. "Uuuuuh...Yeah! Why aren't you aloud to have it?"
"Because they told me I couldn't..."
"Who?"
"The council,"
"Council?"
"At the base in PLANT,"
"ZAFT BASE!"
"Yeah,"
"You're still in the army!" Kira was infuriated. He slammed the fridge door shut and grabbed Athrun by the colar.
"Kira!" he grabbed Kira's hand and the others rushed into the kitchen but didn't say a word. They just happened to be listening in on the entire converstation.
"Why! Why are you still with ZAFT!"
"I don't know! Let me go Kira!" though, he intended to do no such thing. Only when he heard a soft voice from behind, did he release his friend.
"You're still with ZAFT, Athrun?" Lacus stood in the middle of the arch door that separated the hall from the kitchen. She didn't seem mad or happy, sad or annoyed, she just looked...unemotional.
Athrun glared at Lacus. He then turned back to look at Kira and brushed himself off. "Not anymore Lacus..." he said it like it was directed at Lacus, but his full attention was on Kira.
"Hold on!" Cagalli interupted. "I thought you just said that the council told you that you couldn't drink alchohol because of training and stuff, but you just said that you aren't in the army anymore," she turned to Milly. "Does that make me an idiot? Is that just me or did everyone hear him say that?"
Cagalli turned her confused attention toward the raven-haired boy once she saw that he was becoming frustrated. His hand was in his hair, disheveling it completely. "Cagalli...what I mean is that, and I'm sorry, I did join the army again after the war," everyone's eyes narrowed. "Hold on! Don't get mad at me yet! I just wanted to keep my life in check, I didn't want to change it. I guess I was afraid to try a normal life...BUT! But now I've quit, don't worry. I handed in my rank a few days ago because I was going to come down here to earth and try to live...with you guys," he sighed. "I guess it's just a habbit of following all the rules of ZAFT, I don't know any other way to live...I'm sorry,"
Everyone was quiet. They felt like complete idiots.Good old Lacus broke the uncomfortable silence. Everyone was grateful to hear her cheery voice. "Well, now that that's cleared up for us...let's have some tea shall we!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dearka...I will not drink it."
"Drink the damn beer!"
"Are you drunk,"
"Not yet..."
"Oh, okay good wel- Not yet!"
"Yeah...meaning that I'm not but eventually will be."
Yzak smiled knowingly. "There is no way that I'm dragging you back to the appartment floor. I'll leave you here if I have to."
"Fine by me," Dearka took another sip of his beer and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. "Okay...woman time!"
"What?"
"Woman time...beer+woman equals love!"
Yzak's eyes widened. "UH-UH! No way! There's not a chance in hell that you're making me go girl hunting!"
Dearka smiled. "Come on Yzak! Why not...you're attractive enough..."
Yzak stared at him for a moment. "Yeah...okay, you're drunk, let's go," he grabbed the boy's sleave.
"No I'm not...I'm just kidding! Let me go!" he tugged the sleave back from Yzak's grip. "I'm just joking. You wouldn't think I would call you attractive, would you?"
"I should hope not..."
Dearka smiled. "I'm not a queer. Maybe you are. Not once in my life have I seen you with a girl."
"That's not true!"
"Oh yeah? When?"
"Well, when your ass went all deflective on me!"
"What? Oh, ha! You mean when I deflected!"
"Yeah..."
"Oh, I see. But that doesn't mean I saw it. So...who was it."
"A girl..."
"Really, I didn't think it would be..." Dearka started to laugh. Yzak punched him harshly in the shoulder and watched Dearka choke up his laugh that got stuck in his throat. "Chill."
Yzak narrowed his eyes. "It isn't funny when you make gay jokes about me."
"Yes it is." Dearka said seriously.The statement was so simple and short.
He growled. "Okay...maybe it is. But it was a girl!"
"That's good to know. So who?"
"It's none of your buisness."
"Haha! Homo!"
"OKAY FINE! It was a girl that replaced you!"
"Huh?"
"Once Athrun and you both left, I was in charge of the team. We got someone to replace Zala...and you."
"That's not fair...you fell in love because of me basically..."
"No, why would you think that?"
"Well, it's pretty simple. If I handn't left, you wouldn't have met her."
"This is true..."
"So who replaced Zala?"
"Her boyfriend." Dearka started to laugh.
"She cheated on her boyfriend with you! HA! That's just how I would have seen you with a girl. You were a rebound right? Like, whenever she got bored of the guy, she'd come to you," Yzak tryed to reply but Dearka's consant, histarical howling kept cutting him off. His laughter died down a little. He said between small chuckles, "So tell me Yzak, did she pay you?" Dearka started to laugh again, clutching his stomach because it was hurting so much.
Yzak became fed up. He turned and left the small bar. He started down the sidewalk when he heard a call from just outside the tavern. "Yzak! I was just kidding!" he heard the calls come closer and the footsteps racing, trying to catch up to him.
"Leave me alone Dearka."
"Come on! Seriously...I wanna know!"
"Fine!" Dearka was suprised when Yzak stopped walking and he was able to catch up to the silver-haired boy.
"Just tell me what happened."
Yzak took one of the biggest breaths he possibly ever could. Dearka braced himself. "Okay...He was her boyfriend and he really liked her and she was always with him but when they joined the team she started to hang around me more and everything was fine but I thought she was a strange mini girl version of me but she started to like me then broke up with him then I started to like her back even though I thought she was pathetic before but then she was sosimilar tome and I really started to like her then we started hanging around then we kissed and I did something very bad Dearka." he said quickly.
"You slept with her..." Yzak's eyes darted up and they widened madly. He was suprised that Dearka had actualy been listening to him let alone understood what the hell he was saying or what the hell he was talking about. Then something occured to Yzak.
"How did you know?"
"Been there, done that..."
"What!"
"Let's not get into that...do you know where she is?"
"She said she stayed on earth after theVersalius landed," he looked down.
"Versalius. Yeah, she was on your team so she was with you right?"
"Yeah..."
"Wait...I would have seen her. Didn't you confront us and Kira-" Yzak cringed. "...and all of his friends in the legged ship's hangar?"
"Uuum, yes?"
"Then those guys who replaced me and Zala should have been with you...it was all teams stick together to escort the archangel crewmembers off, wasn't it?" the damp wind hit Yzak and he cringed at the cold nipping at his skin.
"Yeah well, about her breaking up with that boyfriend of hers...well, he sort of died."
Dearka sighed heavily. "Leave it to Yzak to leave out some of the most important pieces of information,"he rolled his eyes and turned forward and walked where Yzak had been, back toward the apartment building. "You comming?" he cocked his head to the side while his eyes darted back toward Yzak.
He stared at Dearka's back for a moment, then heard his voice. He followed behind. "Yeah, commin'," he came up beside Dearka and they walked for a moment longer when the subject was brought back up.
"Okay..." Yzak looked over at Dearka. "So he wasn't there, but she should've been, right? Where was she?"
"She was there, at the entrance of the hangar. I told her that I was going to go meet some of my old friends andI also told her about...Yamato," Dearka heard Yzak clench his teeth as he said the name. "-But she...by that time had gotten to know me too well, and she told me not to overreact. That's why I didn't bite his friggin' head off!" he tried not to make his words all that exclamatory but it sort of came out that way. His fists balled at his sides.
"Relax Yzak. Okay...I promise that I won't push the subject any further. You told me everything...she's on earth too huh? Well, If you just tell me her name...I won't push it anymore, alright?"
Yzak sighed. "Shiho...that's her name, Shiho."
