Events that have happened

Cagalli's cast is now off and feels a slight amount of pain in her lower left arm when she clenches and unclenches her fists. (Her arm didn't heal properly when she left the hospital)

Cagalli has come to numerous dead ends in her search for Athrun.

Kira and Lacus are engaged.

Dearka and Miriallia are also engaged.

Shiho and Yzak are dating. (Met at a bar one and a half years ago)

Shiho is now longer a news reporter got fired when she beat her assistant to a pulp.

Cagalli was walking down the street to meet Miriallia, Lacus and Shiho at a small restaurant for lunch. When she arrived she sat down at a table and waited patiently for Miriallia, Lacus and Shiho to arrive. Soon after she arrived, a young waiter came over to take her order and briskly walked off behind the counter.

Cagalli stared out the window and noticed that it was snowing, but didn't surprise her much since it was December 29th and it had been a cold winter.

Cagalli noticed a couple walking down the street laughing and giggling which reminded her of Athrun. She clenched and unclenched her hand which always reminded her of the day where her life took a turn for the worst. She had spent hours upon hours of time searching for him but it always lead to a dead end. She sighed heavily as she remembered the time three years ago when her and Athrun where out side in the snow laughing and giggling away.

Athrun and Cagalli where walking down the street when it started to snow. They were walking back home after going to buy some groceries.

Cagalli had ran ahead trying to catch snowflakes in her mouth when she had slipped and fell in a pile of snow.

Athrun chuckled as he saw Cagalli covered head to toe in snow.

"Can't you walk without falling?" he chuckled.

"It's slippery out!" Cagalli retorted pouting slightly.

"I was just kidding" Athrun said, chuckling once again

"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to help me up!" shouted Cagalli.

Athrun pulled her out of the snow and helped brush some of the snow that was sticking to her off.

"Sorry" he said rubbing the back of his head.

"It's okay" she smiled as she brushed the remaining snow off.

After that they walked home together, hand in hand.

Cagalli sighed as she unclenched her fist one more time. Her expression dropped as she remembered the good times she had with Athrun.

Just then the waitress came back with her order and soon after Miriallia, Lacus and Shiho arrived but Cagalli was to busy thinking of old memories to even noticed that her friends had arrived.

"What's wrong Cagalli?" Shiho asked, noticing the expression on her face.

Cagalli came back to reality and noticed her three friends standing in front of her.

"Oh, Nothings wrong" She smiled, lying to her three closest and most trusted friends.

"When did you guys get here?" She asked, hoping that they weren't standing there very long.

"We just got her" Miriallia replied cheerfully and she took off her coat and sat down. Shiho and Lacus did the same and sat down. The waitress came and took their orders and returned a few minutes later to deliver their meals.

"It feels like I haven't talked to you guys in ages" Cagalli said, in between bites.

"Yeah it has been almost most two weeks, hasn't it?" Lacus said looking up from her plate.

"Well we all kind of have our own lives now" Miriallia said slowly, taking a small sip of her soda.

"Well things must be getting busy for you two" Shiho said shifting her gaze over to Miriallia and Lacus.

"With you two engaged and all" Shiho said, taking a bite of her pizza.

"Yeah, I guess" Miriallia and Lacus said at the same time.

"How are things with you and Yzak?" Cagalli said, finishing off the last of her soup.

"Good, we just moved into an apartment together" Shiho said taking another bit of her pizza.

"That good to hear" Lacus said happily.

They continued to talk for a while, even after they had finished there meals. The waiter came back and took the dishes. The waiter returned once again with the bill. They paid and left, making sure to bundle up, since it was cold out side.

They walked down the side walk before going there separate ways, back to there own apartments.

Cagalli walked back to her apartment, pondering her thoughts. She dug her key out of her pocket and opened the door. She walked into her bedroom and flopped on the bed, before rolling over on her side to stare at a picture of her and Athrun that was on her night table.

The picture was of her and Athrun hugging. They were at a beach, along with her friends which were in the background.

Cagalli sighed before turning over on her back to stare up at the ceiling.

It had been almost two long years of searching for Athrun and no matter how much she looked it always came to a dead end. She started to think that maybe Athrun really was dead.

Cagalli sighed heavily before grabbing her pajamas and heading off to the bath room.

She came out and slid under the covers. She turned over on her side and stared and the pictures on the night table.

A few minutes later she had drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
