I LOVE THE REVIEWS! OMFG! lol, okay...This...is just gonna be a continuation from the previous chap so I hope you're all okay with that.

MXC - the show - rocks my socks- Lol, thank you for the review! I can't believe you thought that was funny, I mean it was supposed to be but when I was writin' it, I was contemplating whether or not people would think it was funny or just stupid. I was really glad when you brought that up, I'm so glad you liked that part so that that particular part of the story wasn't in vain for me, lmfao!

Tears of heart- lol, thanks. I really needed them to meet sooner or later. I know I take too long but I always like to put detail leading up to the main scene, I have no clue why, I'm probably just nuts, but whatever, lmfao. Glad you like it!

kari480- LMFAO! I was laughing so hard during your review and I have no idea why but...yeah, so. Oh, I wanted to say sorry about your friend and I'm really glad that I remind you of her! Anyway, Yeah, I really needed that last chapter to focus on a lot of Milly and Dearka cuz...well, it's mainly about them, lmfao. I KNOW! Their like, ZAFT elites and they can't even find their way around a friggin' middle school, lmfao, I had fun writin' that, lol. I am so happy with your compliments on how they met, and I agree with you. Some writers either make the meeting completely ooc of the characters or they make the love too sudden...it's bullshit. I STRONGLY agree with you about GSD and that the writers should kill themselves immediately. HAHA! Why would they do that to the Dearka fans? If you're a Dearka fan and he never had a relationship before with anyone in the series, chances are that the first girl he comes in contact with and befriends are going to be the couple that you have your hopes set on. The writers I think completely threw that fact out the fuckin' window and they should be brutaly beaten and shot numerous times. YAY! OHHHHHHHH! AND THAT WAS NOT A LONG REVIEW! I LOVED IT LIKE NO OTHER! I always love your reviews and they're so awsomne, I look for yours every time I look at the review page. You don't even have to end it next time if you don't want to, lmfao! OH! I read your bio! I cpmletely agree with you on all points! I don't have time to talk about all of it but...yeah! I read it all don worry. The thing about Athrun bein' promoted is bull 2! That's not fair. Athrun's deflection was even worse than Dearka's...Athrun faught for them by choice. Dearka was captured...I think I'm gonna stop before I start throwing things. Oh...loved the pikachu! One more thing...WHERE THE HELL IS MY CONFETTI!

Mystical Dreamz- Hiyo! Yeah, aren't you glad they've finally met so we can get on with the damn story? lmfao...I am, and I'm the writer, lol. Anyway, It's not that much that Dearka ends up saying to her, mostly 'cuz he's nervous, lol, oh well, check and find out, it might be better than you think!

Disclaimer: You know the drill... blah blah blah...

To hell and back again

Dearka was staring down at the girl. She knew it was him; she actually remembered. From the look on her face...he could tell that she wasn't really happy to see him. Though, he didn't find any pain, anger or regret in her eyes at all. It was quite strange.

"Dearka?" Athrun tapped Dearka on the shoulder but he never looked back. Their eyes were locked and there was nothing anyone could do to bring them out of it. Dearka sort of shrugged his hand off of his shoulder and knelt down to her level and touched his hand to one of the books she'd dropped.

He picked one up and handed it to her. "I'm sorry," was all he could say. She, being completely astonished, took the book from him as he spoke again. "I hope I haven't hurt you." Dearka stood up and roughly pushed past Athrun and Yzak, trying to get out of the group of veterans. Miriallia sort of had a feeling that he wasn't talking about her fall.

"Hold it!" Dearka turned around to find a brunette boy now standing infront of the girl. He didn't say anything but stare at him. "I remember you now."

Dearka took a step back. "W-what?"

"You're that Buster pilot." Kira narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you..."

"That's right..." Dearka spoke without hesitation.

"The one that was taken prisoner onboard the Archangel and was hospitalized?"

"That's correct."

"Yeah, I've heard a lot about that. Then...I suppose you know my friend here, right?"

"Well...well, yeah..." Dearka looked down at her, still staring at him. "She saved me." Everyone looked at him confused and shocked. "I was about to be killed, and...she..." Dearka could no longer look into her eyes. It was too wierd. "I need to go, class has already started, Yzak, c'mon..." Yzak just nodded his head wide-eyed as he followed Dearka out of the group of friends' little huddle. Athrun was about to say something, yet they were already out of his voices reach, too far down the hallway. They turned the corner and everones breath seemed to become heavy.

Miriallia looked down at the book he'd handed to her. Funny...he only mentioned the part where I saved him...and not where I tried to destroy him...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dearka! What the hell!" Yzak caught up to Dearka after he'd ran ahead, eager to get out of his unlikely situation. "What was that all about..."

Dearka sighed heavily, as if he were in a rush. "It was that girl...you know...the one on the legged ship..."

"Haha...yeah, the one that said you're not aloud to say her name."

"Hey shut up, that was a while ago, I'm sure she wouldn't care now."

"That doesn't mean you don't..." Yzak smirked at the blonde.

"What the hell are you babbling on about?"

"Well, you clearly still respect her wish for you not to speak her name. I haven't heard you say it before. Hell, you've talked about her so much, and I still don't even know what her name is."

"That's 'cause I've never said it." Dearka looked down. "I was never aloud to, so I kept refering to her as 'That Girl'."

"Idiot."

"Why am I the idiot!" His head burst up.

"Dude, you're like in love with her!"

"Yeah Yzak, I'm in love with her." He spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"You are! My god Dearka. Maybe you've lost count, but I happen to know every single woman you've had on PLANT, and hell, there isn't one of them that you haven't slept with."

"OF COURSE THERE IS!"

Yzak crossed his arms and quirked a brow. "Like who?" He smirked.

"U-uu, uum, uhhm, well...that girl...what was her name...I haven't seen her in a long time. MABLI!"

"Dearka..."

"Yeah?"

"That's your sister..." Yzak started to laugh. "I really do hope that you haven't slept with her before..."

"Well, she is a girl and I can truthfuly say that I have never slept with her..." Yzak rolled his eyes at Dearkas' comment.

"Anyway, what I'm getting at is that out of all the girls you've slept with..." Dearka opened his mouth to say something but Yzak put a finger up. "Shut up. Out of all the girls you've been with," Yzak quoted 'been' with his two fingers."You've never really respected them..."

"What! Of course I have!"

"So you do admit you slept with them..."

"W-wh-at! NO! I-SHUT UP!"

"Never mind..." Yzak smirked. "All I'm getting at, is that you're really nervous around this girl..."

"So what. What does that have to do with anything?"

Yzak shook his head in disbelief. "Dearka, face it, you're a player. And if there's one thing all players have in common, is that they're really smooth around woman. They don't screw up, they don't stutter or flinch. You've never backed down. Fuck Dearka, I've seen chicks that have slapped you and had sex with you in the same god damn night. You never stop trying, no matter what they do to you, and you always get your way!"

Dearka crossed his arms. "This is stupid."

"No, you're stupid. This girl, she makes you...I don't know...like me."

"What! Like you?"

"Yeah, like me...I guess I can't walk up to a girl, I can't talk to them. I get so nervous around them that I just want to run away. I feel like I need to impress them so much and I try to respect a womans privacy and I'm really shy about it. You...you're definatly the complete opposite of every single thing that I have just said."

Dearka nodded his head. "Mmhmm, pretty much, yeah. Your point?"

"Dearka, that's how you act around her. That can only mean one thing...that she's different to you from all your other little ditsy toys back at home. She's special to you and you respect her."

"I-I don't, that's all I can say." Dearka wasn't mad that Yzak had assumed this and he wasn't sure why.

All of a sudden, as if on que, the boys heard a "We're so freakin' late!" They turned around to find a bunch of students rushing towards them. They turned back around to find that they had already walked all the way back to the Gymnasium. Thinking that they were about to be stampeded by a bunch of jocks, Dearka and Yzak gladly stepped aside. Though, the faces in the croud as they rushed by, once again saddened Dearka. It was her, and those friends of hers. They were veterans too.

Get a hold of yourself Dearka...It's alright. Yzak doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. There's only one way that I can prove to myself that Yzak's full of shit! So that's it, I've decided that it would be too painful to even lay eyes on them again, so it's settled, I will never see those war veterans or her ever again...Dearka stopped. Wait a moment, is it painful to look at her, am I that weak? No, I've decided it's for the best. I'll never see her. I'll never see her ever again. I promise! I swear on my god damn life. I've made a vow.

"Hey Yzak, what's our next class?" He said, proud of his new goal. This would be a fresh start for him; a new begining.

"This is perfect," Yzak exclaimed, after just looking down at their chart schedule. "We don't even have to walk at all. We're in the Gym!" He grinned.

Dearkas' jaw dropped to the ground, so far down that he could almost hear a thud. What a way to ruin his pride. Wow...I'm off to a spectacular start...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miriallia looked down at her feet. She didn't seem to wear as many bright colours as she used to. She wasn't really a goth, but she just liked black.

Her converse shoes were laced with red laces and her red knee-high socks trailed up fromher shoes. She wore black soccer shorts for gym that were really quite baggy and long that they covered her thys completely. Half her legs were covered in black soccer shorts and the other half was in red knee socks. Miriallia wore a black t-shirt; just a plain, old, black shirt.

She hated how some of the girls, mostly talking about coordinator girls, would wear these bright, pink, tight shirts that showed off their...things, as Miriallia liked to call them. There were girls in the school who've slept with men and were only about her age. Though, she supposed it was different for coordinators because of the new generations they needed to keep the coordinator race going. But she still found it digusting. That's why she would always keep herself covered completely. She was much too sensitive about her body; unable to show it off.

As well as that incident in the war. She still missed Tolle, this was no news. Since then, she'd never been able to get close to anyone, for fear of her heart being completely destroyed like it already had been.

"Alright class, settle down now." Everyone gathered around Mr. McRae. "Now this is a real treat seeing as for the next few days or so, we have been aloud to share unisex gym courses." Everyone kind of sighed. "Now class, seeing as I have a couple new people because of the sex change ups and I have mostly dealed with boys, I'd like to know what you expect in our gym periods..." Dearka and Yzak walked in, as if on que.

Some boy from the back called out. "I've got an idea. How 'bout the freaks go on that side of the gym while the rest of us stay here!" Everyone started to clap and cheer. The laughter was overcoming Miriallias' ears and she ducked her head down. At that, Dearka had realized who he was talking about when he refered to them as 'Freaks'.

"You assholes!" Cagalli stood up. "What the hell is wrong with you." Dearka grabbed a ball on the rack that had been coincidentally right by the door.

"Eat me!" He laughed idiotically.

Dearka could take no more. "Hey dick!" Everyone in the room turned their heads toward the unnoticed boys. "Eat this!" Dearka chucked the ball with all his coordinator strength at the boy, hitting him square in the nose. "Yeah...'Freaks' my ass..." Miriallia looked up in shock at Dearka.

"Boys and girls! Calm yourselves immediatly!" Mr. McRae looked somewhat displeased. "Dearka, Yzak, the new students I presume? Well, it's not difficult to figure that you boys are war veterans is it..." Dearka and Yzak starred the guy down. He smirked. "Well then, please tell your gym class all about yourselves. He sat down on the bench and gave an encouraging shoo to stand infront of everyone.

Dearka shrugged at Yzak and they both went up infront of everyone who were now sitting down on the gym floor. "Well, I'm Yzak."

Dearka stuck his finger up. "Dearka."

Everyone paused. "Is that all?" Mr. McRae questioned.

The two boys sighed and Yzak took the stage. "Well, whatever...okay, I'm 17 and I faught in the Bloody Valentine war for the ZAFT forces. I'm only here 'cuz my friend Dearka dragged me and I'm a coordinator from PLANT."

"No..." Dearka smirked. "You wanted to come."

"Shut up Dearka, I'm speaking." Yzak punched Dearka in the arm and Dearka laughed as he grabbed it. " Kay, my favourite colour is gray and I like seeing people cry. I'd say more about myself if I didn't have the most horrific hangover humanly possible." Yzak bowed his head. "Thank you."

Dearka started laughing. "Okay, whatever. I was in the war too, and I was Yzaks' comerad as well as another penis in this room. Not pointin' any fingers. " Dearka stuck his head out from his neck and glared at Athrun, almost making his eyes pop out of his head. His gesture had worked since he found that his new classmates were now looking in Athruns direction because of this. Yzak couldn't help but laugh behind Dearka.

Yzak couldn't help but do something stupid. "Cough Athrun Cough." Dearka just chuckled at his friend, never looking back at him.

"Well, since you now know about Athrun...let me explain some things... AAHMM!" Yzak laughed knowing full well that this was Dearka who was speaking and how this would end up. "Yzak here is my best buddy ever." Dearka intertwined his fingers by his lap as if he was some sort of pretty boy...or girl. "You could even say we almost had a relationship!"

Athrun put his face in his hands. "Oh god, here we go..."

"Yzak and I go a long way back. But it didn't really work out for us so we decided that we would just stay friends. Anything more between us, we thought would ruin our healthy, friendly relationship with one another."

Athrun sighed heavily, just loud enough for everyone to hear and to let a small chuckle escape Dearka and Yzak. What a way to start your first day...make everyone think you're gay. Dearka...Yzak, you guys never cease to amaze me... Athrun rolled his eyes.

"ANYWAY! Our friend over here, Athrun, was in our team called the Le Creuset team. And he had a little boyfriend named Nicol...but he up and died so Athrun pretty much became a loner. We raped Athrun over the years. We brutally made fun of him and continuously blaimed him for being the downfall of everythjing we did because he seemed to have a friend on the other side of the war, fighting for the EA! Well...Yzak and I were pretty much the only hope for the team so we kicked MAJOR earth ass...aaaaannnnnnddddddd, Athrun wass pretty much the stupid, unloyal outcast! The Buster and Duel were basically the only good machines on the team, with the only good pilots on the red elites...us!"

"Hold the phone!" A girl called out. "You were the red elites of ZAFT and you piloted the Buster and Duel?"

"Yeah, what would you know about them!" Yzak quirked a brow.

"Only that it was everywhere in the earth newspapers. You two are two of the 4 or 5 that raided Heliopolus aren't you...Oh my god."

"Mmhmm...your point.

"You raided Heliopolus, and now you live on Earth after the war and try to live with naturals in peace? What kind of soldiers are you!"

"Cool ones..."

"And drunk," Yzak added in. Dearka smirked.

"Yes well, I'd heard about you two so many times in the last year about how you were persuing taht earth forces Archangel, and how you guys were trying to destroy it. And how you guys interfeared with the tranquility of ORB. You are dispicable men."

Yzak nodded his head. "True enough..."

Dearka shrugged. "Oh well, it doesn't really matter anymore 'cuz it kinda changed after I was taken prisoner on that ship and got to meet some of the naturals. They weren't half bad. I actually took a liking tomany of them so..."

"Yeah, I thought he was dead for a long time." Yzak shook his head.

"Yes...I gave Yzak quite a scare. But I returned to him like i always do..." Dearka turned around and blew Yzak a kiss. Yzak laughed and shook his head in disbelief of how stupid this was...but then he couldn't controll his laughter. He covered his mouth and put up a finger as if to say, 'Just a minute'. He turned around and everyone could see him laughing.

Dearka started to point at Yzak and laugh at how his friend was cracking up over such as simple thing such as this.

Yzak turned around with an almost serious expression on his face. Though, everyone could fully see that he was still trying to keep full composure of himself. "God Yzak, calm down." Dearka smirked.

"That is enough out of you two. I've have heard just about enough of this. Escort youselves down to the principals office immediately!"

"Mmhmm...And you are... a..." Yzak looked up and down the man. "A natural."

"Yes, I don't see what this has to do with any of this."

"Well, we're better, stronger, smarter, agile, and pretty much everything else. You can't tell us what to do."

"Excuse me young man! Since you were in the war and you were given respect as you were one of the more capable coordinators and were of higher rank, it may not be easy for you to accept this place. This is a coordinator/natural school whether you like it or not. And if you don't, I suggest you leave...Mr.Joule."

"First of all, I'm not goin' anywhere, I now have a score to settle with you, and second...Coordinator/natural school my ass! If you're saying that I should respect you because you are a different race and that's what this school is all about, then I suggest you tell that to some of your students. Have you heard them talk down to the honorable young war veterans that go to this school..." Yzak boasted.

"That's what they get!"

Yzak took a step back. What the hell was he talking about? Did he want to have his nose punched into his own face with his bare fist? No, Yzak wouldn't have this. "That's what they get? You know what, fuck you! I'm gonna put you in the hospital for a fuckin' year old man. Get yourself ready!" Yzak swung back his fist when he felt strong hands grasp it and hold it back. "Let me go Dearka!"

"Not on your life." Dearka sighed. "You wanna get into even more trouble?" Dearka grinned. "I think class is over for today."

The boys started walking out of the gym with no regrets or shame from their recent actions. Miriallia watched as Dearka and his friend walked to the gym doors. She stood up from her spot at the back of the crowd of people. She knew it was him, though, she needed some kind of reasurance. She needed to know if the impossible was really possible. She needed to know if he was okay, that he was still alive.

There, beside Miriallia sat a girl with arrogance like none everseen, though was particularilly quiet today considering who she'd just witnessed walk from the very room she was in. There, in the back of the gym class sat a young, long, brown haired girl. I've missed you, Yzak Joule. What took you so long...
