Why Prepare?

Miriallia, Cagalli, and Lacus jumped on Cagalli's bed and sat cross-legged in a sort of circle they sub-conciously made. Cagalli's room was dark. It was light blue with a black bed with black sheets. She didn't have many things in the room besides a couple of rock band posters and a closet. There wasn't even a mirror...there's Cagalli for ya...

"Oh my god..."

"It's not that big of a deal. I'm okay now aren't I?"

"YOU TELL ME WHERE THE HELL THAT PIECE OF HOBO SHIT IS AND I'LL GO AND KICK HIS POOR ASS!" Cagalli yelled.

Lacus shook her head. "I think Dearka already did enough of that for ya..."

"I DON'T CARE! HE NEEDS MORE ASS KICKING!"

"Cagalli! Stop it!" Miriallia yelled the hardest she could...though, still not as loud as Cagalli. The girls were surprised at Miriallia's outburst, it being completely unexpected. She was usually calm and collected, passive at most.

Lacus looked at her sympathetically. "Miriallia?"

"The poor guy doesn't deserve any more. Dearka almost...Dearka almost killed him."

The girls eyes widened. Lacus leaned foreward. "How...? What'd he do?"

Miriallia sighed. "He had a pocket knife on him. And even if he didn't use it, the guy was only a natural, Dearka's much stronger than him."

Cagalli smiled. "Ha, yeah. Dearka's a tank. He could've ripped the guy apart."

Miriallia's eyes sparkled as she looked up at her friends. They backed away nervously. "But he didn't. Do you think Dearka's changed since the war ended...?"

Lacus shook her head. "Look, as forgiving as I may be...I don't think he's changed at all." Cagalli and Miriallia stared at Lacus. "People just don't change over night and-"

"But he didn't!" Lacus was taken aback. "He was captured by the Archangel, don't you two recall! That's when I...tried to kill him." her voice cracked. "But when he went to his cell, I would always stay by him...and please...just don't ask me why, but I did." She sighed. "He would always try to lighten things up for himself by picking on me whenever I came to give him some company...but...when we let him free, he came back after stealing his Buster back. He saved our ship. People don't seem to realize that if it wasn't for him, the Archangel would be gone. He saved my life. When he came back, he decided to stay with us. He had a lot of time to think about that. That's one hell of a tough dicision."

Lacus retaliated. "But Mir, don't you think-"

"Lacus...Dearka stayed with us from then on. He told me everything on the Archangel, but he was just...I think he just needed someone to tell it all to. He told me what he feels on the battle field. He even told me that while we were in space, he saw his friend, his best friend, and he talked to him. I now know who his friend is, it's Yzak. But the thing is, he didn't go back. If Dearka was just holding us off until he found a way to go back to ZAFT, wouldn't that be the perfect time and place to do it...?"

Cagalli smirked. "She's got a point there Lacus..." She crossed her arms slyly. "Besides, Dearka's an okay guy..." The other girls quirked a brow at Cagalli. "Well, I spent the other day with him for a while. He's actually really funny. And his friend's cool too. I don't even think you have a lead here Lacus..." she grinned.

Lacus' eyes widened. "Huh?"

"Well, think about it." Miriallia listened intently. "Dearka was never a "bad guy" or anything in the war. It's not like he was a villain in a movie or something."

Miriallia nervously laughed. "Ahahaha...aha, yeah, ahaha...that's crazy..." The girls quirked a brow at the girl before Cagalli shrugged it off and spoke again.

"Anyway. I think Dearka was just blinded by ZAFT. Besides, if Dearka did change, you guys are making it sound as if being captured by the Archangel purified him. Ha, Yzak wasn't captured and he's an okay guy. Hey, he's no saint or anything, but I just think that once Dearka was able to see through the blindfold ZAFT put over his eyes, he knew what the right thing to do was." Cagalli shrugged. "He had the exact same personality with his buddies from ZAFT and he acted the same way as he does now. So I guess you're right Lacus..."

"Hmm?"

"People don't just change over night." She smirked and Lacus shrugged.

"Now that I'm trialed against...I guess I can say I was wrong." She narrowed her brows. "But Cagalli is very convincing, so...-" The girls looked over at Miriallia who was fidgiting in her place. "Milly? You okay?"

"Well, I really do notice that you're right Cagalli. In my eyes now, he's even more of a saint to me than he was five minutes ago...But he is a jerk."

"Whoa...mood swings! What's up with you?" Cagalli crossed her arms.

"Well, he's sarcastic, rude, sweary-ish...-" The girls smiled and shook their heads. "And he says all the wrong things at the wrong times. He likes to be funny, he's the exact type of guy I hate..."

Lacus questioned her suspisiously. "Why are you trying so hard to make yourself see him in a bad way...?"

"Probably so that she won't fall for his amazing, coordinator qualities!" Cagalli boasted dramatically.

The girls stopped laughing. Miriallia was squirming. Was she uncomfortable? Lacus' eyes widened. "I knew it! You love him don't you!"

"What! Not this again. Why won't you guys just drop this, you all know it's not true." She narrowed her eyes with crossed arms and turned her nose.

Cagalli laughed. "That is the most hideously discouraged face I have ever seen in my life. You're trying so hard to defend yourself that you don't realize that you're making it excrutiatingly obvious!"

"What?"

Lacus turned serious. "You haven't acted this defensive before, what happened this morning?"

"Nothing!" She replied quickly, as if she knew the question ahead of time. "I have nothing to hide!" She stated rather shortly.

Cagali's laugh died down and she too joined Lacus. "No...we know something happened between you guys."

"Well...it wasn't a big deal, but we..."

"You what?" They were almost anticipating the words. But though, they really had no idea how shocked they'd be.

"We sort of...kissed?"

"WHAT!" The girls cried in unison.

Cagalli was in Mir's face. "I cannot believe you kissed Dearka! This is totally crazy!"

"What the hell! You kissed Dearka..." The girls looked to find the speaker of the unexpected voice.

"Oh my god...Kira..." Cagalli shrugged in Miriallia's direction. "Ha...sorry, I'm a little loud sometimes."

Kira rolled his eyes. "Sometimes?"

Lacus quirked a brow. "A little?"

Cagalli narrowed her eyes. "K, Kira! Get. OUT!" She took a pillow and chucked it at him. He laughed as he quickly closed the door, and the pillow dropped to the ground after hitting the now vacant door where Kira stood.

Lacus smiled at Miriallia's worried face. "Don't worry, Kira's a really kind guy, he won't tell..." She reasured her.

Miriallia smiled at Lacus.

Cagalli regainedcalmness. "So how did hedo it?"

"WHAT! I can't believe you would even ask me that!"

"Calm down, it's just a simple question..." Cagalli thought for a short moment and smiled. "So did you kiss him back?"

"CAGALLI!"

"It's just a kiss, why won't you tell us about it?"

"Exactly, it was just a little kiss. So why are you so obsessed about it!"

"Wow...you're pretty defensive, there must be more to it...was it a dirty kiss? Was it on the bed?"

"Oh my god! NO! I was on the bed though..." Lacus gasped. "NONONO! It's not what you think okay! I was in the bed 'cause I just woke up!"

Lacus smiled. "Aaw, he let you sleep on the bed after all that hsppened to you...? Was it his bed?"

"Wha-! I don't know! Why is it so important?"

Cagalli shrugged. "Well, it couldn't have been Yzak's bed right? Would he put you on Yzak's bed? Where did he sleep?"

"Just on the couch..."

Lacus smirked. "So it was Dearka's bed..."

"It must've been." Cagalli looked toward Lacus and they started to argue about it.

"SHUT UP!" The two girls looked toward Miriallia in shock.

"Wow...the passivechick tells us off..."

"I've had it! It was just a kiss! GET OVER IT! It's not like we're goin' to the dance or anything!" Cagalli and Lacus grinned at eachother. "What...are you two smiling about...?"

Lacus crossed her arms. "You don't have a date do you?"

"Uh oh..."

"Well, you're comin..." Cagalli finished forher. "Date or no."

"What! I can't go alone!"

"You'll come with us!" Lacus smiled happily.

"Uh huh...youwant me to go with two other girls...not to mention Kira will be with us too. My my, won't that be the most convincing sight of the year." Miriallia rolled her eyes.

Cagalli laughed. "So it's settled...you're coming!" She smiled and searched through Lacus's pack.

Before Miriallia could protest, Lacus spoke. "Cagalli?" She quirked a brow.

"Hmm?"

"Why are you...going through my bag?"

Before she could answer, Cagalli pulled out three big make-up bags and a few more supplies from the bag. "MAKE-OVER TIME!" She yelled. The girls swore they heard Kira rush down the stairs and out the door.

At this time, Miriallia had forgotten about the previous conversation and her awaiting protest and set her sceptical eye on Cagalli. Shethought for a moment before grinning at the unsuspectinggirl and her tom-boyish form.

Cagalli was shocked. Her eyes widened nervously. Lacus too got the idea and was also now glaring at the girl. "W-What!"

Miriallia smirked. "So the dance is tonight..."

"Uh...-huh..." Cagalli replied slowly and cautiously.

Miriallia looked over at Lacus and grinned. "You ready Lacus?"

"You bet!"

"We're gonna give Cagalli...a make-over!"

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

Dearka drove past a few stores on main street until he came to a small section of buildings, he stopped the car on the side of the road at the curb. "Who...is that..?" Dearka stared at the girl walking past his car holding a long, covered cloth. It almost looked like it just came out of the dry cleaning.

Dearka opened the door and swiftly made his way around the car, grabbing the woman's wrist. "What the hell! Get away from me you jerk!" With Dearka's other hand, he grabbed her swift knee, saving himself from what could've been a quite painful situation. "HEY! Don't you dare touch me there!"

"Well you're the one swingin' it near my boys!" The woman yanked her wrist away and huffed at his childish words.

Dearka straightened himself up and combed his fingers through his hair.

"Damn, never thought it was a requirement to wear a damn jock every time you see a friggin' girl..." he mumbled.

"I resent that!"

"Yeesh!" Dearka crossed his arms and closed his eyes shut in ignorance.

After a while, Dearka had wondered why it had become silent, he opened his eyes to find the long, brown haired woman, eyes wide in shock, her jaw dropped. She took a step forward. "De-Dearka?"

"Huh?"

Her lips curled into a smile. "It's really you! You're Yzak's friend."

Dearka took one last look at her before stumbling back. Oh my god! Shiho! "Sh-Shihi...I mean Shiho...hi." Dearka searched for words until his eyes caught sight of the familiar object. "Whatcha got there?"

"Oh...this?" She held up the cloth wrapped in baggage. She blushed."It's something for the dance tonight..."

"You're going to the dance...A dance?" Dearka sighed thinking of Yzak. "Well..." he looked down at her. "Who with?"

She nervously chuckled and scratched the back of her neck. "Well...Yzak."

Dearka almost choked on his own voice. "Y-Yzak...did he- I mean, he asked yo- Y-YZAK? Yzak asked you...-well- when!"

Shiho giggled. "Just barely half an hour ago. We got talkin'."

Dearka's shocked frown went into a mischievious smirk. "Talked about what? What you guys did...like a year ago...?"

Shiho's cheeks flushed red. "Well...yeah." Her head suddenly snapped straight up to meat his eyes, hers laced with fury. "AND OTHER THINGS! HOW'D YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT THAT ANYWAY!"

"Whoa...that's like a match made in hell...now whenever you come over, I have two little Yzak's runnin' around!"

Shiho growled. "Stop treating me like a little girl! Get back on the topic here! Did Yzak tell you?"

Dearka chuckled and shrugged. "Who else?

She clenched her teeth and stomped in the other direction. Dearka opened his eyes and his smirk turned into shock after seeing her tense back. "H-hey! Where ya goin'!"

"I gotta go kill someone!" She yelled back.

"Can I drive you at least...?" Dearka looked down at his watch. "It's nearly 6:00, it's gettin' pretty cold." He called.

Shiho narrowed her brows as she continued walking away. "I don't need any hel-AAAHHH!"

"Ah-huh?" Dearka looked ahead to find the girl on the ground. He ran to her and stood over the scene. He quirked a brow and grinned. "No help huh? Well...I guess I'll be on my way..." He sarcastically taunted as he turned to leave in the other direction.

Her solemn face turned cold. "Oh! Just help me up you blonde freak."

He cocked his head. "Gladly...but first...-" she groaned. "Why would Yzak want to go to a dance."

She rolled her eyes. "What a stupid question. What are you asking me for!"

"Well...he asked you right?"

"Yeah...well, maybe he just likes me."

"Dearka doesn't like anyone...'sides his Mother." He chuckled.

Shiho moaned. "Dearka...don't even get me started on his Mother. Look, Yzak never really had a girlfriend did he...?"

"Haha...no."

Shiho rolled her eyes. "Maybe he never liked dances 'cause he could never get a date...or was too shy to ask one."

"And he's not shy around you because...?"

"Don't ask me."

Dearka laughed. "Maybe it's 'cause he doesn't think of you as a girl..."

Her eyes shot wide and she stood straight up. "What's that supposed to mean huh!" Dearka laughed nervously and put his hands infront of his face in defence.

"Uuh...what I meant was...you're so rough...I mean strong...and I mean, you're not a prep or slut or anything so..."

"Are you saying I'm not pretty!"

"What! NO! You're hot! SUPER HOT! I'm surprised that all the guys in school aren't all over you. And you...yeah, you're really...uum...yeah hot." Dearka gulped.

"Is that all you can say..." she mumbled.

"Ha...look at the..uum, time, gotta go!"

"HOLD IT DEARKA!"

"OKAY OKAY! God...You're so awsomne that if I said some of the things I thought about you then...you'd think I was a perv." Oh my god! SO WRONG SO WRONG SO WRONG! "OH! And don't forget your smarts. Yeah...intelligent! That's probably why Yzak likes you...I mean, do you think a guy like Yzak would go out with a stupid girl...?"

Shiho cursed. "Well if he hasn't had any girls all his life and he's desperte, maybe he would..."

"You know what! You should stop being so damnnegative all the time, you're just like Yzak! You hate everyone and everything and you're one hell of a perfectionest!" Dearka stopped. "You know, that's probably why he likes you..."

Shiho flinched from her death glare and furrowed her brows. "Huh?"

He smirked and crossed his arms. "There's no one like him...except maybe you. I guess even he needs someone to see things the way he does." Dearka laughed. "I'm his best friend and we're nothing alike. His mother tries to make him be someone he's not and I always shut down everything he thinks is right. Maybe you're just the person to give him a little confidence and self-esteem. Hell, if you think Yzak was cold-hearted and mean, you should've seen him the day I came back to PLANT."

"Huh? Why?"

"Oh my god, all he did that whole week was sigh heavily and mope around. And now I know why...I never understood it before but-"

"Where are you going with this Dearka...?"

"Look, I just found out about you guys...a couple days ago. And...sorry, but I looked through your military records these last few days, on my own time. Elite privilages..."

"WHAT! You looked through my-!"

"Calm down there Sparky!"

"I thought you quit after a while because you were getting sick of having to be a normal rank soldier! Even if you were able to keep some of the records before, wouldn't they take them from you after you resigned?"

"Yo, you're forgeting something...my Daddy...hello! He's still in the council. No matter where I am in the military, I get whatever the hell info I want." Shiho growled. "As I was saying...Your records said you resigned your elite status the day before I came back to PLANT. When Yzak told me what you guys did and I found out when you quit, I was able to piece it together." He grinned knowingly. "You'd just quit the day before I came and he was crying like a god damn baby, tried to hide it though...that's Yzak for ya..." He shrugged.

Shiho's eyes were shot wide and she growled at his butting in. I bet he thinks he's pretty damn smart huh...

Dearka laughed and sung. "I am so smart. S. M. R. T." (Haha, my friend David...)

Yep...he does... (:o! DAVID! lil late but...It was his B-Day on the seventh! EVERYONE SAY HAPPY B-DAY TO HIM IN THE REVIEW! He's 14...wow...(Rolls eyes)

Dearka shook his head. "Maybe you shouldn't get mad at him for telling me...He never thought he'd see you again so what does it matter. I bet if he'd been with you all this time, he wouldn't have told me. He needed someone to tell...can you blame the guy. 'Sides...I kinda forced it out of em'."

She quirked a brow. "Okay...this is wierd. You, Dearka Elsman...the king of allidiots is trying to be sympathetic at a time that you could be making fun of me and Yzak."

"Oh...I'm not...not making fun of you..."

"Not not?"

"Yeah...which means I am...In my head, but that doesn't mean I can't be understanding on the outside." He grinned.

"You are so wierd."

"You know it! So...you still goin' to the dance?"

She smiled. "Yeah. Are you going?"

"Don't have a date."

"YOU? You...don't have a date? You...the player, do not have a date, but Yzak does?" She ran her fingers through her long hair. "What is this world coming to!"

Dearka laughed. "Whatever. Hey, about your dress...-"

"What?"

"Your dress."

"How'd you know this was a dress?" She questioned holding up the clothing on the hanger. Since it was underneath the drycleaning bag, there was no way he could've known.

"Think about it Hahnennfuss, you don't go to dances and you just told me you're going with Yzak so what else could a long, slim piece of fabric be other than a last minute bought dress?"

"Wow...you are s. m. r. t."

"You know it."

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

"And...Vwala! The new and improved Cagalli!" Lacus chirped as she spun the spinning stool around.

"Wow Cagalli, I didn't know you of all peopel could look so much like a...-"

"Girl?" Cagalli crossed her arms.

Miriallia laughed nervously. "Well, haha, yeah."

Cagalli's hair was tied back nicely with a few light bluebarettes to tie back the loose pieces. She wore two gold braclettes on her right wrist and she wore a long, blu-ish green dress with a long, white lace going diagonal from the left to the right. The dress had slightly wavy sleeve that just hung off of her shoulders, no lower, and the neck came just below her collar bone. The shoes she wore mached her dress perfectly and were in a heeled sandal type style. (Cagalli looks exactly as she did in episode 19...or 20, whichever...when Iesha...or however you spell it, lmfao, washes her up after getting sauce in her hair while Kira is having the conversation with A. Waltfeld. Cagalli comes out in that atire.)

"Aaw! Cagalli, you look so pretty!" Lacus smiled.

"I do? Get me outa this thing!"

Miriallia laughed. "Lacus, if you guys are making me come, we'd better get ready too."

"Oh, right. I have just the thing for you!" Lacus thought for a moment. "OH WAIT! But first! Let me show you something!"

"Uh oh..." Miriallia sat on the bed.

Lacus rumadged through her bag until she pulled out some seperate make-up. "Here, this is black eye liner and black eye shadow."

"What?...I don't...wear make-up."

"Well...now you do!" She smiled. "Here, lemme show you how to put it on." Lacus brought the stuff up to her and knelt down next to her. She took of the lid to that pencil-like thingy and sharpened it. Lacus was just about to apply it when Mir jumped.

"What! Are you trying to kill me!"

"What's wrong Mir?" She looked confused.

"Are you tryin' to poke my eyes out? Why were you puttin' it so close?"

"It lookes prettier when it's closer to your eye."

"But, why does it...- Well, just put it on the outside...like right under my eye..."

"Oh Milly, I'm not gonna make you look like a racoon." Lacus sighed. "Look, trust me."

"Oh...okay."

"K, good." Lacus proceeded. "Milly?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm gonna put it right in the corners of your eyes, I'm not just gonna line it."

"Bu- Do other people do that?"

She laughed. "Yeah. Relax, it goes all around your eye and not just on the bottom line, but you won't see it on your eye lid 'cause the shadow will cover it."

Mir sighed. "Whatever. Do what you want."

She screeched. "Yay!" and proeceeded with her little make-over.

2 minutes later...

"Oh. My. GOSH! PERFECT!" She grinned and ran into her closet. Lacus immerged holding a long, black dress.

"Oh yippey! It matched my eyes." Miriallia replied sarcastically.

"Oh shush! Put this on." She tossed the dress to Miriallia and she shrugged. She walked into the bathroom and began to change.

Two minutes later, Miriallia came out of the bathroom and the girls gasped.

"What? Bad?"

"No...Beautuful..." Lacus intertwined her fingers and Cagalli just sighed. I hate all this girly crap. "Just a couple more things..." Lacus went back into her closet and brought out a pair of black, criss-cross sandal heels and a black choker. "Wow Miriallia, black really matches your hair." Lacus handed Miriallia a brush.

(EVERYONE! Remember, Miriallia's strawberry blonde hair grew slightly longer since the war and hangs of her shoulders, just past her collar bone, I like it that way...but if you don't you don't have to imagine her that way...)

There was a tight, black bracelet that matched the chocker Miriallia had on and a pair of small black studs for her ears and a silver ring at the top of her ear. (Too much black for you? Once again, don't imagine her that way...I LOVE BLACK! I'M NOT A GOTH!)

Miriallia sighed. "Alright, alright, stop gawking. The dance starts at 8:00 and it's nearing 7:00, your turn Lacus!"

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

"You know, you didn't have to give me a ride."

"Hey, my pleasure, 'sides, the dance starts soon and you're going with Yzak. You met up with him like, an hour ago so he must be home by now getting ready."

"Right, well, thanks."

"No problem. Hey, here we are."

"This is your apartment?"

"Yep. C'mon."

Dearka got out of the jeep. Realizing it was darkening outside, he went around the other side, grabbed her wrist and dragged her in.

"Hello sir." The black suitedman said bluntly, opening the door.

"Thanks Jeeves."

They got into the elevator shaft and Dearka pushed the 7th floor. "Wow, is his name really Jeeves?"

"Nope...Yzak and I just like to call him that." Dearka laughed. Shiho smiled. The elevator stopped and the two got out. "Here, follow me."

"Uum..." She followed him down the hallways, wondering how he remembers where to go, until they reached a certain door. It was entitled number "1046".

"Here we are." Dearka unlocked the door and swung it open.

Shiho cautiously walked into the small apartment. There was Yzak looking all but happy lying on a small sofa staring up at the cieling. Yzak quirked his head up when he felt eyes piercing him. He gasped.

"Shi-ho. Hey."

"Hi Yzak. It's around 7:30, would you like to leave now?" Shiho looked at him from head to toe. "You look...nice?" Yzak was in nothing but his boxers.

When he'd realized this, he jumped up and ran into the bathroom. He called, "I'll be out in a second!" Shiho shook her head and took a seat on the small sofa that Yzak had been on moments ago. Dearka sat beside her.

"He won't take long. He doesn't really spend that much time on his appearance...as you can clearly tell." Shiho laughed.

"I HEARD THAT YOU FAG!"

Dearka laughed. "God Yzak! Get ready. Your girlfriend's waitin' for you!" Shiho blushed when Yzak took a step out in a casual black suit. He wore black dress pants and the top of the suit was left open revealing a casual dress shirt. He blushed.

"Wow Yzak..." Shiho smiled. "You look...really cool."

Yzak looked away. "Thanks uh...you too." Yzak snapped his head up. "Uh, you gonna change there?"

"I guess. I don't really want to change here and we don't have time to go back to my house so..."

"Alright." Dearka grabbed his jacket and opened the door. "Dearka?"

Dearka was smilingbefore he heard Yzak say his name. "Hmm? What do you want?"

"Well...?" he paused.

"What Yzak!"

Yzak stuffed the apartmentkey in his front pocket. "You are aware aren't you...?"

"Huh? Aware of what?"

Yzak smirked. "You know you're coming right..."
