A/N: Okay, this is the first chapter of Valentine. I hope you guys will like it as much as you liked Snowflake and this is only three chapters long! Only three! So please, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I won't be writing fics if I owned Gundam Seed/Destiny, I'd be making more sequels to the anime focusing on Athrun and Cagalli.
"Valentine"
It was the day of Valentines Day dance! Cagalli had an elegant apple green mask on and a beautiful gown. She was still at home and er mother, Via, was taking pictures of her non-stop.
"Mom, I'm going to be late!" Cagalli whined.
"Wait. Just one more" Via said as she took more snapshots of Cagalli.
"Mom!" Cagalli whined even more.
"Okay, you can go" Via replied "You're going with your brother, right?"
"No, mom" Cagalli replied "Kira's only taking me there"
"Oh, okay" Via shrugged.
Then se gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead, then Cagalli and Kira bid their good-byes and went to school together while fetching Flay along the way.
Once they got there, Cagalli, Mir, and Shiho sat on a table together.
"You said you ain't coming" Shiho said as she raised an eyebrow at Cagalli.
"Kira's fault" Cagalli lied.
"Brothers…" Shiho murmured.
"Where are your dates?" Cagalli asked.
"We didn't come with dates, okay" Mir said "All the boys in our school are retards"
"True" Shiho agreed.
A few more minutes later, the student council came up to the stage and welcomed everyone. Cagalli's jaw dropped, all the student council members were wearing red masks!
"Damn…" Cagalli muttered.
Shiho and Mir excused themselves for a drink, awhile after that; Cagalli was left behind alone on the tables, until a man with a red mask and gold linings sat beside her.
Cagalli's eyes beamed, could it be! Her admirer!
"Hey" The guy said as he sat beside her.
"H-Hey" Cagalli replied as she looked at him as he sat down "Y-You are…?"
"I'm Ahmed El Fasi" He said "You're Cagalli, right?"
"Y-Yeah, th-that's me" Cagalli smiled.
"You know, you look really fantastic with your mask" He said "But it'd be better if you took it off"
Cagalli could only smile.
"He's my secret admirer!" Cagalli thought "Evil much! Ahmed El Fasi! Shit ass desert boy!"
Cagalli sighed.
"Anything wrong?" Ahmed asked worriedly.
"N-nothing" Cagalli replied "I'll play with your little games tonight since its Valentine's! But note, tomorrow, you can't even dare to look at me!"
"D-D-Do you wanna dance?" He asked.
"May be in a few. My legs are still tired" Cagalli lied.
Oh, she did so much lying already. Bad Cagalli!
"Well, okay" Ahmed shrugged "I'll get you some juice then"
Ahmed went—okay! Ran to get Cagalli some juice.
"What I need is something stronger than damn juice!" Cagalli thought angrily as she felt the urge to throw away her ice tea "I wanna forget all these things that are happening NOW"
Then Ahmed got back with eight glasses of juice. Guess how he carried all the glasses, note there is no tray.
"What are you? A busboy?" Cagalli asked coldly "He seemed cool at first, now he isn't! I knew e was just playing! Damn, stupid heart! Making me as weak as a mouse!"
"I um… Didn't know which drink you wanted so I got a glass of all" Ahmed smiled nervously.
"Humph! T. Y." Cagalli replied coldly "But I have a drink already"
Cagalli showed Ahmed her glass that was filled with iced tea, Ahmed placed the tray of glasses on the table and stared at Cagalli.
A few minutes later, Cagalli was totally pissed off by staring at her.
"What're you looking at?" Cagalli snapped.
"N-Nothing!" Ahmed replied rather nervously.
"Look, let's cut this night short!" Cagalli told him coldly "It's over. Bye!" Se said casually with a smile.
Cagalli stood up and walked away. As she was heading to the door, someone grabbed her arm. Thinking it was Ahmed, she pulled her arm away roughly.
"What!" She yelled coldly.
"Oh, damn…" Cagalli cursed in her head.
In front of her stood Rusty Mackenzie. The guy who isn't good with his studies but still, he was one of the most popular guys in school, plus he was in the student council.
"What's wrong with you tonight, Cags?" Rusty asked.
"I think, I drank too much, Rusty" Cagalli replied dramatically "I'm not used to drinking more than half a glass of alcoholic beverages"
"Then, it's best for you to take a seat for a while" Rusty suggested and led Cagalli to his table.
Cagalli just followed, seeing that Rusty would not let her go. He sat across her an smiled, as if they were on a date.
"How'd you know it's me when I wore a mask?" Rusty asked "I even masked my voice for a moment there! How could you have known it was me?"
"Please, Rusty!" Cagalli said sarcastically "You're wearing a red mask and most people wearing red masks are part of the student council, plus with the gold linings, it really is the student council. And then, the student council only has one red head and that's you"
"I guess I'm unique, aren't I?" Rusty smile to himself as he leaned back on his chair.
"Whatev" Cagalli replied with a smile "I never knew he was fun to hang out with. Sure Rusty and I are friends, but we're not that close. He just sometimes walks me to school and back home since we live beside each other. But we never got to do anything more than that. Nice, he's not really the kind of guy I imagined he would be"
"You know, the council had tons of arguments on how this gymnasium should be decorated" Rusty said then he pointed at the stage "Like the stage, Yzak and Dearka argued about the lighting"
"Most of the council members are boys, I'm surprised this didn't turn out to be er… male-ish" Cagalli joked.
"The glee club helped since they had nothing else to do" Rusty told her "Check that sign on the stage"
Rusty pointed at a big poster that had a very interesting design..
"Our President thought of that" Rusty said "He got into an argument with Miguel and Yzak about which kind of design to place up"
"It seems that Joule always joins an argument" Cagalli laughed.
"True" Rusty laughed too.
"What's the council have next?" Cagalli asked "I heard that there would be a one-week beach trip next month, it as planned by the council, right?"
"Yes, it's one of our biggest projects this year" Rusty grinned "Though, it costs a lot. I mean, all high school students in a beach? That's gonna cost thousands, especially when everyone is so picky with the location"
"Why won't you guys wash cars or something" Cagalli suggested "You know, a fund racer. It'll be fun that way"
"That's a great idea but the President wouldn't allow it" Rusty said disappointingly "He doesn't was to do any work, I don't know why. He's just like that."
"A real loser, huh?" Cagalli questioned.
"Not really" Rusty replied.
"A—" Cagalli was cut off by a voice that called for Rusty.
"Whoa, hey, Cags, can I?" Rusty asked "Will ya' excuse me for a sec?"
"Sure" Cagalli replied knowing he won't come back after a minutes or five.
A minute after Rusty left, a blonde with a red mask sat across Cagalli and brought her a bottle of Cali Iced Apple Green Flavor.
"Hey, Miguel!" Cagalli greeted.
"How'd you know it's me!" Miguel gasped.
"You're name is lined on your mask: Cagalli giggled.
"Argh!" Miguel slapped himself on the forehead "I forgot about that…"
"I like how you guys and the glee club got the gym decorated" Cagalli completed.
"Thank our President!" Miguel grinned "He got all the designs and layouts planned for months! He was really looking forward to this dance"
"Romantic?" Cagalli's eye brow raised.
"He's really romantic when it came to te girl he admired ever since he met her in preschool" Miguel laughed "Gets flustered everytime Yzak or Dearka tease him about that"
"Ah, so he's the shy type of guy" Cagalli mused.
"Well, not really… I guess" Miguel chuckled "That guys got it lucky, at lest that's how I see it"
"Hmmm?" Cagalli looked at him confusedly "Why do you say he's lucky? When you tease him too?"
"Well, yeah" Mir replied cool-ly "The girl he likes is all that! Most of the male population has admired er beauty and all since she was in toddler!"
"Why is he lucky?" Cagalli asked again "I mean, it's not as if they are together or anything, right?"
"Well, Cagalli, what makes him really lucky is that he maybe shy but he's romantic" Miguel replied "He's the very first guy to actually tell her that he has feelings for her and I mean in a romantic way. The girl actually likes him back!"
"Oh?" Cagalli smirked "How'd you know that? I never knew you were this nosy" Cagalli laughed.-
"Hey, I'm not nosy!" Miguel protested playfully.
He and Cagalli were what you could call friends, even if their years differ, they became friends because of a school activity, Rusty introduced them. Despite what Cagalli kept on ranting about him being an egomaniac, he still was her friend plus, it's true.
"You can just notice it!" Miguel said "It's so obvious! And hey, I'm the smartest guy here, I should know that!"
"Whatever, Miguel" Cagalli rolled her eyes "If you're 'the smartest guy' here, then why are you not the head of the student council, hmmm?"
"They still haven't discovered about my wonderful talents, Cagalli" Miguel replied.
"Miguel!" Dearka called "Lover boy summoned us all thirty minutes ago!"
"What!" Miguel gasped and stood up.
"He's pissed off, man!" Dearka joked in a straight face, and that was not good "If I were you I'd get tell my last goodbye's to my family"
"Damn!" Miguel hissed "Hey, Cags, I better go. You fine by yourself here?"
"I'm not a kid, Miggy" Cagalli joked.
"Don't call me that!" Miguel whispered "Only my mom calls me that!"
"Just get going!" Cagalli said playfully "Death is waiting" She laughed.
"Very funny" He replied sarcastically.
"Oh, well, see ya' real soon, Cags!" Miguel said and left with Dearka.
Cagalli got up and got herself a new drink, she saw Mir and Shiho talking so she joined with them.
"Hey, guys!" Cagalli smiled "What're you to talking about?"
"You won't believe it, Cags!" Mir exclaimed excitedly.
"What won't I believe?" Cagalli asked curiously, she was also getting excited inside.
"Before Dearka came back in here, he brought Mir outside to the gardens!" Shiho exclaimed.
"What… What did he do?" Cagalli asked.
"He gave Mir a bouquet of blood red roses and heart shaped organs!" Shiho replied with that Halloween creepy voice.
"No, Shiho!" Mir said "He gave me romantic red roses and heart shaped sweets!"
"And!" Cagalli asked, this was just too thrilling for her!
"He kissed her on lips!" Shiho squealed.
Cagalli squealed with Shiho and jumped around happily together.
"I'm so happy for you, Mir!" Cagalli grinned, giving Miriallia a hug.
"You're first kiss! From a guy wo totally you!" Cagalli continued "And on Valentines Day of all days!" Cagalli grinned ever wider "That's so romantic of Dearka!"
"I know, but…" Miriallia looked down sadly "He ran away before I could say anything!"
"WHAT!" Cagalli exclaimed "You didn't tell him that you like him too! How could you!"
"He ran away!" Mir wined as fountain tears fell from her eyes and she was waving her arms around "It's not fair! My life is unfair! Everything is unfair!"
"The dance isn't over yet, Mir!" Shiho said, snapping Mir out of her 'unfair rant' "I advise you to march up to Dearka and tell him how you feel!"
"YEAH!" Mir said with enthusiasm "I should! So that my love life won't be unfair!"
"Great! That's the spirit, girl!" Cagalli gave Mir a friendly pat on the back.
They cheered for Miriallia but was cut of by someone.
"Um, uh, Sh-Shiho?" A voice called.
The three girls turned to look and saw a blushing Yzak.
"Yeah, what do you want form me, Joule?" Shiho asked coldly.
"Um… Uh…" Yzak looked down to hide his blushing face, but too late! They already knew he was blushing like a lobster (A/N: lol!).
"Speak up, Joule!" Shiho said "Are you suddenly handicapped?"
Cagalli nudged Mir on the elbow and pulled her to a table, leaving Shiho and Yzak alone. Well, technically not alone since they were in a gym full of other students, but you get what I mean, which of course makes this thing here pointless…
Yzak cleared his throat and stood up straight.
"Ehem, Shiho, my mother and Mrs. Hahnenfu has decided upon er, our future" Yzak said, blankly staring at the table of food behind Shiho.
"Care to repeat that!" Shiho yelled.
"We're engaged" Yzak replied he was as red as um… the color red!
"URGH!" Shiho punched Yzak on the face and marched out pf the gym.
"Yzak touched the part where he was punched, luckily no blood. He realize that Shiho was gone and so, he looked for her.
"Ouch!" Mir winced "Shiho can really pack a punch!"
"I wonder what Yzak did this time" Cagalli sipped from her drink.
"Well, whatever it is, it's really serious" Mir replied and Cagalli nodded in agreement.
Yzak found Shiho outside the gym, he approached her but she turned to look at him, angrily. Then Shiho slapped Yzak on the cheek.
"What the hell was that for!" Yzak yelled angrily, but hell, he's always angry.
They eyed each other angrily for a moment then with out a sudden, Shiho cried on Yzak's chest. Yzak was shocked and he didn't know what the hell to do. So, he stiffly hugged her to comfort her. But when he hugged her she cried more.
"Er… Look if you er… disapprove, I'll er… talk to mother… er… about this" Yzak stuttered "And er… this could be er… stopped…?"
Shiho shook her head slightly.
""Look, I'll er… even call her now… sheesh!" Yzak muttered.
Yzak was about to leave but Shiho grabbed his shirt.
"Stay with me" Shiho sobbed.
Yzak did as he was told and stayed with her, He hugged her tighter. Then he faced her a few seconds later. He tilted her chin upwards, making them get that eye contact thing.
"Stop crying already, woman" Yzak said with a loving-caring smile "Oops, I should've said, my woman"
Shiho wiped her tears while smiling and suddenly hugged Yzak.
"Thanks, Yzak" Shiho whispered and hugged Yzak.
He hugged her back and they stayed like that.
"I guess it's really true that mother's know the best" Yzak said.
"Yeah" Shiho smiled.
Their romantic moment was cut when one of the council members came.
"You better get your sorry ass in here, Joule!" Rusty yelled "The boss is friggin' pissed already!"
"Huh?" Shiho looked confused "What does he want you to do this time?"
"It's the big climax of the ball! He's going to do it" Yzak answered.
"Well, finally!" Shiho sighed "I thought he wouldn't do it!"
"Well, he won't do it if your boyfriend wont get his ass up on stage!" Rusty yelled impatiently.
"Fine, I'll be there!" Yzak yelled to Rusty then looked at Shiho "Let's go" Then he grabbed Shiho's hand and ran back in the gym with Rusty.
