MXC - the show - rocks my socks- You seriously pissed your pants! OMG! AWSOMNE! I love pissin my pants but I don't only do it when I'm laughing...C I have this bladder control problem and I sometimes dont even feel it and I just start goin at any moment...it's really wierd. OMG! lol, just kidding! lmao, I'm glad this was really funny, I hope it was...lol

mick- Bite Me.

Mahha55- AWSOMNE! lol Glad you think it's AWSOMNLY funny, lmfao.

kari480- YO! I GOT MY DAMN CONFETTI THIS TIME! YEAH! You better run to the computer...Oh, I needed Yzak to step it up a bit...this goes for everything you said about Yzak in the review like how he's becoming hotheaded and how he interrigated Dearka and stuff. I feel like I'm kinda leavin him behind so there's gonna be a lot of funny Yzak moments in this from now on if I can. Also, lol, I meant Yzak being shy around girls as in he doesn't really like to be around them...it's hard to explain, not like he's gay or anything but, lol. Yeah...about Milly, I kinda wanted her 2 look like me, so I tried to think up of a reason why she would because before the war...she was all bright and happy and showy offy, if you know what I mean. So I just used the Tolle incident...It's a good enough excuse right? Oh well, don't worry Im plannin on gettin her bck to the way she was...with Dearkas' help of course. Bout the gay thing. I kinda wanted them to act the way my friends and I act at school so that it kinda captures their calm, normal self as a normal kid instead of a soldier if you know what im talkin about...

Mystical Dreamz- Man if you thought that was funny, you should see me and my friends, my god. My friends are insane but as you can probably tell already...im the insane asylum leader! lol. Oh, and Dearka and Yzak didn't go to the office, lmfao, you'll c. And don't worry, lots of DxM that you love will be rushin' in, I asure you!

Time to think

"Yo Dearka..."

He sighed. "Yzak, for the last freakin' time, I'm trying to sleep. What is it?"

"You don't think we were layin' it on too thick with the gay stuff today, do you?"

Dearka sat up from his sheets. "Since when the hell do you care?" He quirked a brow.

"What? Oh...It was just a question."

Dearka scrunched up his face. "You look worried...what's wrong?"

"Nothing! God, I can't ask a god damn question anymore?"

Dearka thought for a moment. "Wellllllll...no."He smirked. "Are you nervous that you're gonna get in trouble with the school or something?"

"No friggin' way. I don't get frightened over matters of authority."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well, as for my superiors, I don't really care if I piss them off, they can do whatever they want to me."

"Only here though. You would never question authority in ZAFT, that's like slicing your own god damn head off." Yzak shook his head at the comment. Dearka smiled. "Never mind...okay, so you don't care here. So what are you so afraid of?"

"I said nothing!" He snapped.Yzak suddenlyflinched at Dearkas' smirk. The Dearka signature smirk forced it out of him."Well...do you think...-"

"Hmm?" Dearka became more interested.

"Do you think our classmates really thought we were...gay?"

"I doubt it, unless they're gay themselves." Dearka laughed but Yzak just groaned.

"I'm serious Dearka!"

"I told you the truth! God! They're probably old enough to know what joking around is, don't you think!" Dearka layed back down. "Why do you even care anyway..."

"No reason. Just...just please leave me alone."

"Not gonna happen. Tell me, who do you not want to think you're gay?"

"What?" Yzak shot up from the sheets. "Who said it was a person. Who even said it was a girl!"

"So it was a girl?"

"What? No! Who said that? Y-you're just switching things around!"

Dearka shrugged casually. "You're the one who said it...not me." He smirked.

Yzaks' wide eyes went to slits. "You're enjoying this aren't you..."

"Actually...quite a bit, yes." Dearka just nicely smiled at the boy, trying to pry every single last bit of info out of him.

"AAAAAAAAAAH! God I hate your guts! FINE! You wanna know why! I think I saw Shiho." Dearka started to crack up.

"Haha."

"What! How can you say 'haha', this is a serious matter I'm dealing with."

"Well duh, you did it with her."

"My god Dearka do we have to say "Did it"? It's so childish..."

"Yeas...we do actually...What, would you rather say, "Had sex with", had "Intercourse with", "Made love to-"

"OKAY! Okay, frigg, I get the point!" Yzak rolled his eyes. "You're so stupid. I don't know why I tell you anything."

"I do."

"Why then?"

"'Cause I make you..."

"That's not tru-! Wait...you did. You piss me off and piss me off 'till I blow. Damn. It's times like these where I realize how much I really do hate you."

Dearka shrugged. "Or you just tell me 'cause, I'm your friend and you know I can help because I am cool, and you...aren't."

"This is a fact. I hate to admit it but..."

"Exactly, so lemme give you some poiunters."

"Ha, you? Nooo way damnitt. The last time I let you give me pointers on something, I ended up in jail for aweek forunderaged drinking and misposetion of porn. Trust me Dearka, I can handle it...if I happen to even run into her again..."

Dearka laughed all of a sudden. "I should have known. You're going to try to avoid her aren't you..."

Yzak flinched. "Is that a problem..."

Dearka smacked his forhead with his bare palm. "Of course it's a problem you idiot. How do you think you're going to solve anything by staying away from the girl..."

"Dearka...your solution to everything is staying away from people...mainly talking girls of course."

"Yeah right! When have I ever tried to hide from a girl?"

"Pch, only like, every day in PLANT."

"What!"

"Dearka, jeez. You end up with girls for one night that are looking for a friggin' commitment, and when they try to contact you the next morning or whatever, you avoid them."

Dearka shook his head. "That's only in emergencies."

"Which is every day."

"Exactly."

Yzak sighed. "Maybe that's your way of doing things, but I'm not like that!"

"How do you know...you've never been in a situation like this 'cause you've never had a chick!" Dearka started to laugh.

"That's not even funny, Dearka..." Yzak crossed his arms and layed back down in his bed.

Dearka did the same. After a couple minutes or so, Dearka sighed. "You know, if you really like her, then I suggest you do something about it." Yzak perked his head up, taking advice from his friend while noticing the slightest tint of hurt and regret in his solomn tone. "Otherwise...otherwise you'll never get the chance to prove to her how much you care about her."

Yzak furrowed his brows sympathetically. This was Dearka who was talking wasn't it? The guy who plays humpty dumpty with every friggin' chick he sees? Yzak had a feeling that Dearkas' advice was mostly regrets. But...Dearka?

"You know Cagalli, you really should get some rest." Cagalli was surprised to find her brother by the doorway of her room.

"Yeah well, I don't really feel like sleeping right now."

Kira sighed and smiled. "How do you think Milly's doing?"

She looked up at him strangly from her bed. "Huh? Mir? Why?" She brought her head up from the magazine and kept her legs folded.

"Don't you remember that guy, the Buster pilot?"

"Oh, yeah yeah. I remember, blondy!"

"Cagalli, you're blonde."

"So, I can still call him blondy if I want to."

Kira shook his head. "Anyway, do you remember how he and Miriallia met?"

"Ha, don't remind me."

"Okay, but you do right?"

"Yeah, I heard about it from Sai...just a little while before the war had ended." Cagalli sighed. "What a meeting eh, couldn't have been more harsh on Mir."

"Or Dearka..."

"Why was it hard for him, she's the one who'd been hurt." She took her attention back to the magazine, confident of her last words.

"True, but maybe she misunderstood him." This brought Cagalli back to look at Kira.

"How?"

"I'm sure he wouldn't intentionally hurt her, Cagalli..."

"Why not? At that time, I'm sure Elthman hated naturals, he was with ZAFT you know. He was taught and raised to despise them. Why wouldn't he want to intentionally harm every single person on that ship? He'd tried to for the past two months. And while he was in that ship, wouldn't he still want to? Why not start with Mir..."

Kira sighed. "Well, Cagalli...I'd heard that he made fun of her for, well...crying."

"Yeah, I know about that, that's my point."

"But...do you even know what he said to her?"

"Yeah, that piece of shit told her something about her boyfriend. He said things like, she was crying because he died."

"Right...but think about it. How would Dearka know anything about that?"

Cagalli shrugged. "I don't care if he took a wild guess or not...he hurt her, he's an asshole. First of all Kira, why would you even say something like that! What an idiot."

"It wasn't his fault."

"Of course it was! How was it not!"

"Cagalli! Stop!" Cagalli flinched backward and sealed her lips. "How do you expect someone like him to not act like that on an enemy vessel!" Kira took a deep breath."All he was doing was sticking up for himself on the enemy ship. At least he talked to her. He can't be all that coldhearted. Of course he was mad that he was taken prisoner...who wouldn't be. All I'm saying is that he's not the type of person who would intentionally put her down...he's too...too goofy."

Cagalli scrached her head. "You think Dearka, a red elite gundam pilot is goofy?"

"Well, yeah. Think about it. He's the one who always cracks the stupid jokes. And he's the one that likes to be sarcastic and turn a serious situation into a stupid...piontless one."

"True, but how would that make him any different from the others..."

"Well, who else would crack a joke around a crying girl on a god damn enemy ship. It's like suicide!" Kira shook his head. "Dearka's not afraid to take risks, he's like a class clown."

Cagalli smiled. "I suppose him and his friend were pretty stupid today."

"They were." He smiled. "See, I don't know how to put this, but he's too much of a layed back type of guy to do something that horrible. When he said that to her in the war, I think he was just trying to make himself feel better...maybe make himself laugh. I bet he just wanted to lighten the mood on his situation. For any normal ZAFT soldier, that would be it for them. They'd think it was all over, and they'd have the death sentence. But I don't think Dearka would break down and cry under that sort of pressure, he'd probably try to make a fool of the situation..."

"You are right, I'm not denying anything you just said. I just think that he said the wrong thing at the wrong time." She shrugged.

"And where would he be now if they hadn't met."

"I don't know, maybe I'd like him." She chuckled.

"No! Cagalli, Milly felt sorry for the guy after meeting him so she went down to the cells like, every day to check on him."

"So what. That doesn't change a thing."

"You don't think so?" Kira quirked a brow.

"Uuh..."

"Miriallia posponed his execution sentence to a later date after realizing what his punishment was. If she hadn't done that for him, they wouldn't have gone into battle before he was killed. Once the fighting started, Mir convinced Murrue to let him off."

"She did what!"

"I know, I'd only heard about it later as well! Technically, Mir posponed the execution date and it ended up preserving the guys life.But I think Mir only did that 'cause she'd gotten close to the guy, and she wouldn't have gotten close to him if she didn't feel sorry for him. She only felt sorry for him because of what she'd tried to do, but she only tried to do it because of what she said." Kira crossed his arms. "Do you honestly wish they hadn't met like they did and that Dearka didn't say what he said? Because if you do, you just wished for Dearka Elthman's death, Cagalli."

Cagalli's jaw dropped. "Wow...you think things through too much..."

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

Miriallia stood up from the couch and walked over to the front door, finding the cause of the constant knocking. She was surprise to find the two staring at her.

"Sai...and Lacus?"

Sai shrugged his shoulders. "She wanted to come with."

Lacus sighed. "Oh, don't act so surprised, I'm your friend too if I'm not mistaken. Though, I never really seem to have the time to talk with you two now do I! I was going to go over to Cagalli and Kira's, though, I found Sai walking toward your house and I just thought I'd drop in as well." Her smile vanished. "This isn't a problem now is it?"

Miriallia's eyes widened. "Oh, no no. You're very welcome." She smiled. "Come on in guys."

It was then that Lacus ran by Miriallia and jumped on the couch she had been sitting on earlier. "Spill!" She screeched.

"Uum...huh?" Sai was also cluless.

Lacus rolled her eyes. "Oh come on! You know what I'm talking about don't you?"

Mir looked over at Sai, then back at Lacus. "Not a clue..." Sure, she was trying to convince herself that, but the truth was that she really couldn't get it off her mind.

"The boy...The Buster pilot..." Lacus bounced on the cushions. "Him and his friend are something aren't they...a humourous couple." She giggled.

"Yeah they are." Miriallia smiled. Though, a lace of confusion came over her voice...or a fake at least. "What would he have to do anything with me though?"

"Oh come on Mir!" The girls looked in shock over at the recently silent boy, his eyebrows narrowed. "You know exactly!"

Miriallia was furious. "I thought that our encounter on the Archangel was never to be spoken again. Don't bring that silly incident up!"

"Silly incident! You almost killed the guy!" Sai calmed himself. "Though, I really wouldn't mind it now that I know how he hurt you, I thought you'd just finally lost it..."

"Oh please..."

"Oh please what Mir! You mean to say that you have no feelings for the guy!"

"What!"

"I know you do!"

"You need counciling. What's goin' on in that confused brain of yours."

"Dearka is nothing like Tolle." Miriallia's eyes darted up with anger. "You can never replace Tolle with that coordinator!"

"Who even said I was trying!"

"I did! You can't deny that you fell for that ZAFT pilot Milly, but you only did because you needed someone to protect you...just like Tolle said he would. You knew that if you fell for Dearka, he would be able to protect you!"

Tears fell from her eyes. "That's not true!"

"It is!"

"Just like you said Sai...Dearka is nothing like Tolle! He's rude, obnoxious, sarcastic...everything I hate. Tolle was kind, and he would always put me first! I miss him very much, so how dare you assume that I would try to put Dearka in his place! No one could fill the hole that he left behind when he died."

"You needed Dearka there for you, and as much as you hate to admit it, Dearka only stayed to protect you...because you protected him."

"I did nothing for him!"

"You did! You maynothavement to, but you showed him that you were there, on the ship he was trying to destroy. He knew, if he were to go back to ZAFT, they'd persue the Archangel again and he'd have to kill you. It doesn't matter if he hated you, he could never pull the trigger after meeting you like that. He'd seen your face so many times. I know you were the one who supplied his company and who hydrated him, gave him food. I know what you did..."

"What! What did I do!"

"You saved him from being executed..."

She crossed her arms and looked away. "I did, but it's not for the reasons you say it is. I just...didn't want to see anyone else get killed, and he's only a year or two older than me...how would I feel..."

"Exactly."

Her eyes darted up. "Huh?"

"You saved him, and he felt he needed to repay you. He protected the Archangel for you...and you fell for him, even though that was the complete opposite of your intention."

"No, I didn't."

"You deny it, but you wanted him safe, you cared for his life as much as he valued yours. He fell for you as well."

"No!"

"I'm afraid so Mir. Wasn't it strange seeing him today? You two were locked in eachothers gaze for minutes."

"I-"

"And what was he apologizing to you for..."

"It wasn-"

"I don't care if he needs you to live, I don't like him."

"Sai, don't worry."

"I don't like it Mir! You are a natural, Dearka is a full-blooded coordinator, it's wrong..."

"Since when do you care..."

"Since he came into your life...just, just do me a favor and stay away from him. I'm doing this for you." Sai walked calmly out the door and Lacus stared at Miriallia.

"What was that all about?" Lacus was terrified.

"I don't know, he's never acted like that before, he barely made any sense."

Lacus smiled. "Do you think he's right?"

"Wha- NO!"

"Oh come on, he has a very logical perspective if you were smart enough to follow his confusing point."

"Yeah but, it's all wrong."

Lacus giggled. "But according to what I heard you say during the conversation, it's all true."

"Huh?"

She sighed. "You confessed to everything, you saved him and you cared for him while he was taken prisoner...that is what happened right? From what I've heard, you two had a conflict, then he was sent to the cells."

"Yes, that's what happened. And yeah, I did, but that doesn't mean I love him...does it?"

"Not particularily. But the way you two met was kinda' convincing." She giggled.

Miriallia's eyes widened in realization. "What! You mean it was that easy to see!" Miriallia quieted down at the afterthought of what she'd just said. "What I meant to say is...was it that easy to...I mean...Was it that easy to guess that...No." Miriallia's toungue was tied. "What I'm saying is, if you thought that was the indication...other people might think so too?"

Lacus was almost falling over laughing, watching Miriallia trying to come up with the right words. She said through laughs, "Presicely."

Miriallia sighed. "This is gonna' be one hell of a year..."

Hey guys, I'm really sorry about this chapter, but I wanted to leave it there 'cause I love that lil kinda cliffyish thing, lmfao. Sorry, I just needed this chapter to focus on that night and the characters thoughts.

Don't worry though, next chapter will consist of the next day, and the night I'm hoping. I hope this was a nice chap for you guys, it's moving slow, but if everything turns out the way I want in the next chapter, it'll get really far!
