Hey, guys! It's me again, the annoying and crazy but a bit too confidence author, hahaha...! Well, I wrote the story because I've written stories based on lover relationship and sibling relationship but I haven't written anything based on father-daughter relationship. This story is dedicated to my dad (Hey, Pap! Your daughter's here!). Hell, I'm such a daddy's girl! Oh yeah, please bear with my English, will ya?I really need to relearn it...

Right on with the fic!

Ah, wait a minute. Disclaimer: Even though the sky falls or the sea dries up, I don't and I think will never own Gundam SEED/Destiny

Theory of Conspiracy: The Return

The well-known princess of Orb sighed as she walked toward the house. She felt very tired after spending the whole day only to attend a stupid meeting that ended up as nothing. Only a meeting to decide whether they should rebuild a new research centre or not and it took the whole damned day. Sometimes Cagalli wondered if she could finish everything by using her Strike Rouge. Things would be much easier then. Oh, and if the useless meeting was not enough, her car broke just in front of the gate of her mansion, forcing the totally worn out representative to walk to the building of her house.

"Cagalli-sama! You're finally home," one of the maids greeted her cheerfully. "There's someone you need to see. He's inside, in your work room," the maid informed. Cagalli groaned.

"Tell him to go back tomorrow morning, I need to take care of myself," she tried to refuse, the image of her comfortable bedroom made her sleepy even more.

"But you must see him now! You mustn't make him wait, he's someone very special!" the maid looked very excited but at the same time, tears started to form in her eyes. Cagalli lifted an eyebrow. Who was this guy that her maid acting weird like this?

"Okay, all right. I'm going there now," Cagalli gave up and made her way to the work room. As she walked, Cagalli began to guess who the guy was. She was curious. It can't be Athrun she thought. He's in PLANT right now and he'll be back tomorrow morning. And it can't be Kira, he's at the orphanage. And both of them would never make her maid to act weird like that. Cagalli shrugged her hair, she was a bit upset that her resting time was being disturbed. But just as she opened the door of her work room, she realized that this guy was worthed to be seen.

Cagalli blinked her eyes once, twice, and gulped. She couldn't believe her eyes. That old but strong face, that long dark greyish hair, that charismatic appearance behind that black suit, there was no mistake that this guy was…

"Father?" whispered Cagalli.

Yes, there, in the centre of the room, was the honorable ex-leader of Orb, Uzumi Nala Athha. He looked almost the same when Cagalli last met him. The only difference was now he sat on a wheelchair looked a bit older. Cagalli walked slowly toward her father, she kneeled and with a shaky hand touched his left hand.

"Is it really you, Father?" tears of joy began to form in her eyes.

"Yes, Cagalli. It's me," Uzumi gave her a soft smile. A smile that she was seldom to see. Cagalli lost the control of herself, she burst into a cry and sobbed on to her father's lap while grasping the side of his pants tightly like a frightened small child. Uzumi stroke her hair without saying a word, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Solid: I wonder where my daddy is...

Cagalli: Try to search in some burned down building, it worked for me

Solid: (sweat dropped) What do you think my father is?

Kira: I got no part! Again...

Solid: You'll get a part in the next chappie, promise

Kira: Honest?

Solid: No, I lied. Of course I'm honest! Now get the hell out of this place or I'll hit you with a GOUF Ignited!

Kira: Me with Lacus? (ran as fast as he can while screaming "Please review!" to everyone near)

Solid: I'm so gonna make you suffer, Yamato...
