I hope you all are enjying this story. I know alot of you hate Athrun now. Sorry! But he does get better in this chapter. I had trouble with this chapter too. I started typign and got to 2 and a half pages and it shut down so I had to type it all again. But here it is. The next chapter. I over shot my preview for th last chapter so some thigns aren't in this one. Sorry.

I do not own anything from this fic, shocking. Well the title, story line, and great comedy acts are not mine. They belong to LilFoxgirl. I have no way of know her in anyway just re-typing her fic to fit the story. The characters belong to Gundam peoples, trust me if I ran them it would be way different. And past chapter 14 is going to be me. Also the comedy is broken out in later chapters and also characters may go OC. Don't be afraid. So on with the story!

Chapter 6: Just a Lil Closer


--The Next Day at School--

Cagalli and Milly piled out of Milly's car while Milly kissed her mom goodbye. Cagalli currently had her head still inside the car, trying to pull something out.

"Milly! Help meeeeeee!" Cagalli said while still trying to pull whatever it was out from Milly's Mom's car. "My backpack is stuck in here!"

Milly shook her head and watched the pitiful Cagalli trying to pull her backpack out. "You are an embarrassment," she mumbled and got a grip on each side of Cagalli, heaving and pulling, trying to get the enormous backpack out from the car. "What the heck did you pack in there?"

Cagalli let go of the backpack and looked up at the sky thoughtfully. "Umm…sandwiches, soda, mochi, chips, cookies, candy, watermelon, strawberries, pocky, donuts, yogurt…" Cagalli began before Milly interrupted.

"I think the readers get the idea Cag…" Milly said with a sweat drop on the side of her head. "Just help me with your frigging BIG backpack out!"

"Oh yeah!" Cagalli exclaimed and the two girls began to try and pull the backpack from the car again. While cars behind them started to honk and shout about the indecent teenagers who create traffic jams.

--Fifteen minutes later--

Students around campus turned their heads as they watched the two girls march across campus, one dragging the other white the one being dragged had a huge backpack strapped on her back.

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" Cagalli kept chanting and we call all see Milly's eyes flash a bloody red.

"Shut up Caga!" Milly growled and that was when they reached their destination- the flagpole at the front of the school.

"Here Mil-chan? The flagpole?" Cagalli muttered heaving the enormous backpack off of herself.

"Yessssss," Milly said, irritated. "Can't you see all the people in our classes here?"

Cagalli looked around and realized that there WAS a bunch of people there, and they all happen to be in the two girls' history class. "Oooo! Lookie! There's Lacus walking across campus!" Cagalli shouted, excitedly, while pointing at a girl with some of her friends walking across campus on the other side of the school. "Too bad she can't come with us…"

"Yeah...we're in Professor Kimuyoko's class and she is in that other history teacher's class. They already went to Medieval Times remember Right at the start of the year?" Milly asked and looked at Cagalli who was still watching Lacus walk across the school until she disappeared behind a building.

"Oh yeah, huh?" Cagalli said and plopped down onto the planter, exhausted.

She started to think about what happened yesterday between Athrun and herself, but then, she started going a bit red, half from anger and half from embarrassment. Athrun was just a total jerk then and Mia gave the word, "bitch" a new meaning.

It wasn't like she absolutely HATED Mia down to the very core of her being. Anybody would have been pissed if you where about to win and then, poof! Some moron from the stands scared you and you lost. She had accepted defeat after a while, but yesterday was just plain bad. Mia was what you call, a lying slut.

She walks around the school like she owns it, flirts with every single cute guy in the school, wear enough make-up to be accepted as a clown, and what the HECK does she wear? The only thing she's missing, is that she's not a cheerleader. Haha…she ain't got no grace.

Milly backed away from Cagalli as the girl mentioned began to laugh insanely. "Cagalli…? Are you okay?" Milly asked, concerned that her friend has really snapped and gone mental this time.

"WHEEEEEE. I'm okay Milly!" Cagalli answered, while she continued to laugh her head off.

"I don't know what's wrong with you…and I do not want to know what is making you laugh like that," Milly said whilst a curious look was on her face.

All of the sudden, Cagalli stopped laughing and her expressions were replaced with a pissed off look. Cagalli rolled her eyes and groaned loudly so that everyone could hear.

Guess who was walking to her? (One guess…)

"Ain't it Mr. Cocky?" Cagalli said with a disgusted look on her face. (Need a hint…?)

Milly gulped as she watched Athrun walk closer to Cagalli. This was going to be bad…So very bad…(If you guessed Athrun, then you are correct!)

Athrun stopped right in front of the girl sitting on the planter. Everyone in Mr. Kimuyoko's periods turned their heads to watch the exchange and they all fell deadly silent as the two teens looked at each other, straight in the eye.

"You got something to say to me?" Cagalli asked, irritated as she frowned up at Athrun.

"Look Cagalli. I don't even know why I'm wasting my time on you but--" Athrun started but Cagalli interrupt him with a louder voice.

"Oh! So now I'm a waste of your time huh? Well, Athrun, if I'm wasting your precious time, all you gotta do, is turn around and walk away," Cagalli retorted and continued to stare at Athrun straight in the eyes without breaking the tension.

"Look Cagalli! Stop being so stubborn and listen to me! Mia told me---" Athrun began but Cagalli broke him off once again.

"Mia. Mia. Everything doing with me as to do with your darling MIA. What are we? Twins! I don't care if Mia told you I am a big fat liar. Go away!" Cagalli shouted and grabbed her bag, got up and pushed Athrun to the side. "Let's go Milly," Cagalli grumbled and walked to the bus as everyone else was going in and also watching Athrun and Cagalli.

They pushed past the crowd of students crammed in the middle and sat a the very back of the bus. This bus smelt like every other bus with their bus smell and when the two best friends told each other this, they started to laugh.

So very soon, after mentioning what they were going to do this Friday, Cagalli had totally forgotten about Athrun, who was currently sitting at the front of the bus with his little fan club, all squealing and shrieking. (Poor bus driver)

I wonder how Cagalli and Milly didn't notice the hoard of boys staring at them both…

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

Milly and Cagalli stared at the huge moat entrance to the beautiful, tall castle which was standing high and proud. It seemed to say, 'I-rule-you-all- HAHAHAHAHA.'

The two girls both entered the castle with everyone else in their classes and then everyone began to split with their friends to spend a peaceful day in medieval style.

Milly and Cagalli walked around the huge castle's insides and gaped at all the magnificent decorations. There was a flag with the castle's emblem on it- a red shield with a beautiful golden phoenix surrounding it. Other people where walking around and Cagalli and Milly would occasionally see one or two of their friends, stopping to say hi, exchange a few words and giggles, then continuing on again.

"HELLO! Hello!" someone suddenly said and the two girls whirled around to come face to face with a jester, his hat twirling.

"So what may you fine girls be doing today? Do you find this lovely castle pretty and okay?"

The two girls grinned and smiled at the jester. "The castle's really cool and big," Cagalli commented and watched the jester prance around tirelessly.

"May this jester before you know your names? Of you two pretty girls who to my home you came."

"My name's Cagalli," Cagalli answered and Milly said, "Mine's Milly."

The jester took off hi hat and bowed while taking something out from behind his back.

"Well thank you Cagalli and Milly for visiting my home, If you would like to see the knights, please go to the dom. But here's two presents that I was told to give to you-a tiara of gold"

The jester handed Cagalli and Milly two tiaras that really did look like gold and before the to girls had time to say thankyou, he was gone.

"What a weird person…" Milly muttered and looked at her tiara.

"He is suppose to be weird. That's why he's a jester," Cagalli said and then turned her tiara around to examine it.

Cagalli's tiara was like Milly's except the jewels studded on hers was beautiful hue of red and Milly's was a pretty green. It looked exactly like the tiaras princess ore except they doubted it was really made of gold like it looked like.

"I wonder who gave us these," Milly said and looked at Cagalli.

Cagalli looked back at Milly. "I derno, but you wanna wear it? Huh? Huh?"

Milly smiled at Cagalli's eagerness. "Sure!" she said, "Especially since your hair is down today."

"Hehe. Thanks," Milly said and pointed at Cagalli's tiara. "Well try yours on."

Cagalli nodded and put hers on, adjusting it to a right angle then looked at Milly. "Well? What do you think?"

"Oh my god! It matches you perfectly! Especially with your eyes!" Milly commented and Cagalli grinned.

"Now all we need is a beautiful dress to make us like princess," Cagalli joked, knowing Milly knows her and knows she hates dresses and then giggled. "Wouldn't that be cool? Haha"

"Hehe. Let's get that later," Milly giggled and then looked around. "So where to next?"

"Let's catch the knight show like the jester said. It starts in ten minutes. Wanna?" Cagalli said, while looking away from the time table suck right of the middle of the room they where in.

"Naw…I wanna check out that cool arcade thing down under the castle. I heard they had wicked fair games there and you could win big ass prizes! Can we go Cagalli? I want to win a biiiigggggggg dragon for my cousin!" Milly said and smiled at the thought of Tolle. (Yes I'm making Tolle her cousin. Normally it's a little brother but Milly doesn't have one and I don't feel like making original characters)

Cagalli knew how much Milly loved her cousin and that was very surprised because most cousins don't get along well. Kira was okay…most of the time…some times…rarely…

"Yea fine Milly. Let's go! I wanna bring home a lot of plushies!" Cagalli said and skipped her way out the nearest door.

Milly stayed in the room and stared at the empty doorway. "Any time now…she'll come back."

As if gad had answered her prayers, Cagalli came skipping back into the room with a sweat drop on the side of her head. "Ummm…Milly, Milly…where's the fair arcade?" Cagalli asked with an innocent look on her face.

Milly sighed and shook her head. "You take the opposite door, go down the staircase all the way. Then you are there," Milly explained and before she knew what happened, Cagalli had grabbed onto her wrist and pulled her out of the room.

All anyone could see was a whirlwind twirling down the staircase.

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

"DIE YOU EVIL…THINGY!" Cagalli shouted as she threw another ball at the 'thingy.'

Milly was standing twenty feet away pretending not to know the girl who was currently laughing her head off at knocking over the 'thingy'. Yes…Cagalli could be embarrassment.

Cagalli breathed in as the lady at the "knock-the-goblins" stand stared at Cagalli with her mouth open. As if breaking out from her trauma at seeing such a disturbance in a normal looking teenager, she forced a smile and held up two gigantic plushes. One was a big unicorn and one was a cute doggy with cute sparkly eyes. "Choose one, miss."

Cagalli stopped laughing and looked at the two plushes. "I would like the doggy plush," she said in a normal voice and smiled.

The lady who still haven't gotten over the change in this weird girl, just handed over the push as the once insane teenager was now being nice and sweet.

"Thank you," Cagalli answered and walked over to Milly who was currently looking around for an escape route. "Look Milly! I finally won the dog!" Cagalli shirked and showed Milly the dog with pride.

"Umm…nice Cagalli," she mumbled and pulled Cagalli and Cagalli's bag of plushes along behind her.

"Ooooooo! A kitty!" Cagalli squealed and turned sparkly eyes to a cute kitty cat that was hung up as a prize. "I want it!" she shouted and took out her wallet again to try and get the cat.

Milly sighed and then eyed a dragon at last. It was a really cool blue one and she smiled as she finally found a gift for Tolle. Leaving Cagalli to her insane obsession with cats, she walked up to the stand and paid the lady who was currently eyeing with suspicion at Cagalli who was just standing and staring at the cat in a creepy way.

"Do you know that lady, miss?" the lady asked Milly and was referring to Cagalli as the young lady.

"No. I don't."

Cagalli was now currently trying to catapult witches into the pots three times in a row to get the cat. She had done it two times and was just hitting the catapult with a "BANG!" when the third witch went sailing through the air to land on the edge of the pot.

The witch plush swayed to the pot's inside before it swayed the other way and fell off to land outside. "NOOOOOOO!" Cagalli screamed as if the world had come to an end. She started sobbing and the men behind the stand was just going, "ummm."

"So close…(sniffles)," Cagalli sobbed and then peeked to her right while continuing to pretend to cry. She saw a BIG kitty coming her way and her eyes began to sparkle again. "KITTY!" she screamed and jumped the plush, then hugging it and the person who was holding it too. "GIMME KITTY!"

Milly was just staring from the side with a dragon in her hands and a face which looked like she was going to burst if she didn't start laughing. Oh yea Cagalli's gonna shriek with horror when she finds out who she's hugging.

"WTF?" the person holding the cat yelled. "Who the hell is hugging me? Who the hell is MOLESTING me? Dearka! Who the hell is it!" Athrun mumbled into the cat as he was hugged to it.

Dearka was just inching towards Milly with a face to match hers and they both looked at each other before starting to laugh at what would happen when Athrun and Cagalli figured they were hugging each other.

As if breaking out of her cat obsession trance, Cagalli stopped hugging the person and cat as tightly, looked at Milly and noticed that DEARKA was next to her, both of them laughing their heads off. Now was logic time, she was always with Milly and Dearka was here. Dearka was always with Ath--

"OH MY GOD!" she screamed and let go of the cat and Athrun and flew ten feet backwards. "AAAHHHH!"

Athrun threw the cat at Dearka's face, efficiently shutting the dude up and then looked at who had been "molesting" him. His eyes bugged out as he saw it was Cagalli.

Milly pointed at both Athrun's and Cagalli's horrified expressions and went into another laughing fit. She slid down to the floor, still laughing and then pounded on Dearka's chest not knowing that the guy was actually on the floor with swirly eyes from the cat being thrown at him. "Oh my god! That's so cute!" Milly exclaimed and starting crying and laughing at the same time. "So very cute!"

"Now look Athrun! I wasn't hugging you by my own will! I was hugging the kitty! NOT you! No way would I hug you on my own will!" Cagalli said with a shock all over her face and shook a finger at him.

"I know you wouldn't hug ME by your own will and I wouldn't hug YOU on my own will either. But what the heck!" Athrun growled with a frown. "You don't just go jumping people and then hugging them and their stuff! You could be charged with molesting! If you wanted the cat, just ask!"

Milly had stopped laughing and was now watching the exchange between Athrun and her best friend. She could bet that another argument would happen…well…at least it always does when those two talk.

Dearka finally awoke and grumbled some stuff as he rubbed his sore face and his chest. What happened to his chest? It seemed like a boulder had been dropped on it and it was hurting. "Hey Milly, what the--"

"SSSSH!" Milly hissed and pointed at Athrun and Cagalli.

Dearka got the hint and watched the two people quietly and with curiosity.

"Well I'm sorry if I hugged your mighty presence," Cagalli grumbled and looked at the ground.

Athrun rolled his eyes and walked up to Cagalli. He held out a hand and Cagalli looked at it but didn't take it. Athrun sighed again at Cagalli's stubbornness and crouched down.

"Look Cagalli. What I wanted to say this morning was that I'm sorry that I didn't believe you when you said Mia started the fight. I think she was guilty and she told me over the phone that she did in fact start everything. I just wanted to say I'm sorry that I was being such an idiot. I don't know what I could do to say sorry but if you like, you can have this cat," he said and handed the cat over to her. (Aww…That's so cute.)

Cagalli peeked at it over her bangs and was deciding weather to take it or not. Of course, since she was obsessed with cats, she took it and hugged it while still not looking up at Athrun.

Athrun grinned and then got up. "Well, that's a;; I got to say for now," he said. "Let's go Dearka," he addressed Dearka while walking away from Cagalli in the opposite directions.

Cagalli continued to look down at the cat without saying anything and keeping mute.

Dearka got up, extended a hand to Milly while she eyed it suspiciously but took it anyways.

You know that was a big mistake doncha?

Dearka gave her a slap on the butt and Milly grew rigid with anger. She started seeing red and grabbed the hammer from behind her. It instantly grew large in her hand and Dearka's eyes bulged.

He was in for it now.

Dearka went flying through the air in Athrun's direction and Milly huffed as she let go of the hammer. The hammer converted back to it's normal size and Milly stared at her work. Dearka was currently still flying across the enormous room before he connected with a wall.

"Now that's gotta hurt…" Athrun grumbled and then looked back at Cagalli who was currently still sitting on the floor with the cat. But what he found surprising was that she was looking up at him decently without the usual death look in her eyes.

'She looks pretty that way,' he thought but shook it from his mind.

"Hey Cagalli…" he said and she looked up at him with the same expressions but more softer looker then the deadly one. "You know…I kinda liked that hug."

Cagalli's mouth opened a bit and she continued to stare at Athrun with a disbelieving look on her face. She continued to open and close her mouth a few times, too stunned to say anything until she just kept her mouth shut.

Athrun turned around to hid his red face from Milly and Cagalli. He couldn't believe he just SAID that to HER. The one person who hated him and the one girl he really hated too. 'I can't believe I actually said that I was sorry either…"

Milly looked at Athrun with her mouth wide open. She started giggling and then sat next to Cagalli in the middle of the walkway. She looked down at Cagalli with a knowing smile on her face. "No wasn't that nice. You guys didn't fight for once."

Cagalli looked down at the floor again and then grinned.

'Guess what Athrun? I guess I liked it too…'


WHOOO! Looks like Love is in the air. Well we hope. I found Athrun so cute at the end. TT.TT When he's not acting like a total ass in this fic! Wait, I am aloud to say ass right? this is Teen rated. Oh well.

Like I said I over shot my over view so no over view of this chapter. But! Anything you didn't see in this chapter is in the next one. :-)
