The past days they had wasted it perfectly and now they are panicked of unfinished project when they doesn't need to. Athrun and Cagalli were at their usual, fixing up their ruined project and only to re do it again. It was late and both are rushing trying to compete with the time but it failed horribly.

"I can't believe this! Aren't you angry at all!" throwing her pen on the papers, crossing her arms and curses under her breath.

"What can we do about it? It's already ruined." He too stops doing his work and lie down on the grassy field. Cagalli followed suit.

"She's your girlfriend!"

"EWWW!" he was now sitting up and pretended to be gag. Cagalli laughed at that.

"What are we going to do now!"

He looked at her and she does the same. Amber met Emerald and both looked away. Athrun once again feel himself boiling hot on his face and he groaned slightly. He hated it when this happens every time she met her eyes, or she accidentally brushes his hand. It was just annoying and confusing.

She remembered her fury amber eyes shone when ever she was happy or lighted with fire when she was angry. How her eyes were clouded when she was sleepy and how the fire dies in her eyes when she was disappointed or sad. It was so intriguing to watch her eyes.

Those beautiful amber eyes.

He smiled at that and not to be missed by Cagalli. She crawled towards him and peered at his smiling face. She waved her hand lightly in front of him and when there is no response she sits back down on the hill top. She looked down and saw those sloppy grassy hill beneath them and wondered how would it feels like to see Athrun fell onto it and roll all the way down.

She glanced sheepishly and she stood up only to be behind Athrun. He didn't notice of course and in a count of three, she pushed him down, earned a big no to be exact gigantic gasp from him, and she laughed.

Athrun on the other hand got nothing to hold, hoping that Cagalli would help but having a hundred percent doubt she ever will. He took her hand and she fell with him to his unfortunate.

I am so dead!

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" as both of them screamed on their rolling way down the hill.

"Will you hurry up Yzak!" Shiho was currently trying her best not to release her anger on that certain silver haired guy.

"Who's fault was it!" and he was equally the same as he was trying to search the book he and Shiho had misplaced.

Shiho glared at him and crawled down on the floor to find that damned library book. Not that she cared or anything but if they ever fail to return a book safely. They will be forced to clean up that huge library with only cloths and broom. It will not be pleasant at all.

As both of them, busy crawling down under beds and table just to find the not so small book, how come it would take so long? They both crawled; concentration was stick to the floor and saw nothing ahead of them. AS they were opposite of each other, they at the same time looked up.

Both stared at each other eyes only to be broken by the blushing Shiho who was now standing up. Her face, Yzak noticed was not facing him and he wondered why. He felt his heart pumped so hard and stand up as well. It was time he knew but he just doesn't have the courage.

I'm a Joule. What's the big problem of confessing?

Shiho was flaming by now as she recalled how near their face to each other. His blue eyes were so mesmerizing and deep. It reminds her of the ocean, the wide and free blue ocean.

Shiho! Now I command you to stop thinking of that!

She cleared her throat.

"I think the book is not in here." She was still not facing him afraid that he will see her blush.

"Ah-Yes! We will go somewhere else and find."

III

"YES! OH YEA! HURRAY! OH YEA!"

Kira was now jumping up and down on his bed shouting happily. He had just hold Lacus's hand and that was the biggest achievement he had ever had. Her hand felt so soft and small in his.

He stopped for a moment and his mind was recalling the events earlier. He loves history now of all subject. As his mind recalled he jumped in joy again and shouting. He kept on laughing until he couldn't laugh anymore. He lied down on his bed hugging the pillow and filled his mind with the pink-haired girl.

OH YEA! WAY TO GO! HURRAYYYYYYY!

III

"Argh!" as she struggled to get up from the body beneath her. She tried to stand up but only winced in pain. Athrun get up and held her.

"Are you okay? I'm so sorry!" his voice was scared and timid, a little guilty as well.

She glared at him in reply. She wondered how come it always backfired on her whenever she tries to trick him into something. She groaned and put her arms around Athrun for some support. She struggled more to stand up but only to be pushed down by Athrun.

"You twisted your ankle. Don't move so much!" he was holding her ankle and rub it softly. Cagalli felt her skin tingled and her face was painted red. She tried to break free from him but it was useless. His hand was gentle on her ankle and she could feel herself scolding herself for liking it.

I don't like it at all!

"Look Cagalli!"

She snapped out of her thoughts and saw Athrun was looking at the painted orange sky. It was beautiful sunset but to her disappointment, she was watching in not on the hill top but under and she had a twisted ankle.

Athrun saw her trouble face and he hold her in bridal style earning himself a loud scream next to his ears. He cringed but continues to run up hill and almost fall himself. When he finally reached the hill top, he never let go of her only to gesture her to look at the sky.

He thought that they looked like a couple watching sunset. He smiled an idiotically smile.

"I am not going to beat you for causing me a twisted ankle because of this beautiful sunset."

She smiled at him gratefully and he smiled back in return more idiotically than before.

III

"It's closing soon. Fast!" as both she and Yzak was running up the stairs as fast they can before the library closes. She doesn't want to clean up the library no matter what.

They were in time before Madam Rosetta leaves and Shiho was so happy that she hugged Yzak. Yzak was flabbergasted at her sudden movement and he hugged her back as well. Shiho who find herself hugging Yzak releases herself, smiling a goofy smile at him. Her face was painted pink.

"Hehe! Sorry!"

Yzak feel a little disappointed but smiled at her. He saw her flushing face and he chuckled slightly. He held out his hand to her.

"Shall we go then, my lady?"

She giggled at him but took part of the show as well. She put her hand on his and they walked away laughing. Afhmed was there and he felt a little disappointed and he doesn't know why. He couldn't have like her because he knew he like Cagalli but now he wasn't that sure anymore.

III

"Awww man! We forgot our unfinished project!" Athrun sighed at the sight of books and papers on the field. He turned to looked at the seating Cagalli, her face was filled with concentration.

Looks like I will have to stay late again tonight

"We should really find an excuse since we won't get this done anyway." She was rubbing her sore ankle.

"I know that but Miss Murrue isn't somebody you can fool." He walked over to her and helped her with her ankle. She tried to push him off but he just continues to help her.

"Forgotten, Mia ruined our project, dog ate my homework…..DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK! We can so use that."

"This is a boarding school you know. Where do we find a dog?" raising an eyebrow at her.

"The one that chased you?"

"It's too big!"

"We can smuggle a small puppy and I know just where it is." As she stands up with an arm around Athrun and lead the way.

"No! Wait! I can't let you know my plan."

"Why not!" he pouted a little.

"You can't act naturally. You are too serious you know?"

"No! I'm not!"

"Okay I am going to give you some surprise." She scared him and he was just normal. No sign of surprise or anything.

"SEE! I told you!"

"What?" giving her the confused look.

"When I scared you, you are just like normal."

"Because I already know that you are going to do that."

"That's what I am telling you about."

Both of them continue their quarrel but they decided they should continue it while smuggling a puppy. Athrun was skeptical at this silly idea but Cagalli convinced him that everything will work out just fine. He doubted it more than ever.

Dog ate my homework. How ridiculous excuse can that be!

III

Lacus was giggling uncontrollably while typing on the laptop of hers. There she was chatting with Kira, planning their presentation tomorrow and still remembers the last few days event when Kira had held her hand.

It was miracle to her, too magical. She wanted to tell somebody about it but decided to keep it a secret. Cagalli have noticed her change of mood and questioned her frequently but she just denied it or changes the topic.

"Kira hold my hand!" as she squealed happily.

III

"Such cute puppy!" as she huddled the little black puppy in her arms and Athrun glared at it with hatred.

"That bloody dog just bites me!"

"Dog hates you!" as she laughed loudly at him but quieted down when Athrun was glaring at her.

"Wait till he bites you." He mumbled under his breath.

"Now you keep him and come to the dorm around six." Tickling the puppy on his stomach.

"Why do I have to keep him! He just bites me for God's sake!"

Cagalli shoved the little puppy in his arm and he looked down at that puppy and regretted it dearly. Those stupid puppy eyes of him and he avoided it and only to meet another amber puppy dog eyes of Cagalli. He groaned and tries to hide his sight but only to be tickled by Cagalli and licked by the puppy.

"Come on Athrun Junior! Let's go play fetch!" as the little puppy wagged his tail real hard getting off Athrun.

"He is NOT Athrun Junior!" Athrun glared at that puppy and Cagalli but both of them ignore him.

III

The next morning, Athrun was scared and nervous. He really wanted to skip class but he couldn't do it and that puppy was a nuisance causing him to have sleepless night. That puppy was happily looking at him hoping for food. Kira just eyed him and that puppy curiously.

"What!" his voice was filled with annoyance after catching Kira's disapproval glance.

He shook his head and continued their way to Lacus's dorm. He just wasn't in a good mood since that puppy was licking his face every time he faces upwards. Athrun was having problem as well but at least that puppy doesn't lick him.

"Stop biting me! You had been doing that since last night!" Athrun scolded that puppy that was very well hidden behind his bag. He patted the puppy at the head and it quickly quitted down.

Oh Yea! The dog bit him! Serve him!

They reached there and Lacus greeted them with her usual cheery smile and Athrun noticed Kira's mood improved a lot. He looked around for Cagalli but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Lacus! Where's Cag…" he was interrupted by a loud barking and that little puppy leaped off from his arm to the eyes barely open Cagalli.

"Athrun Junior! Good morning! How are you huh?" she huddled that puppy and kisses him lightly on the head. Athrun felt jealous at the attention it gets and wishes that he the one who should have that kiss since he suffered the whole night.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT ATHRUN!

Kira and Lacus were giggling at the puppy's name and Athrun was trying to hide from them but was quickly held down.

"Athrun junior?" as both of them eyed him with an evil smile on their face.

"Oh shut up!" as they laughed even more.

Life sucks!

III

"Good morning class!" the voice of their History teacher rang in their ears and they quickly scrambled back to their seat.

Cagalli was seating there with a smile on her face, their half written project on her table. Her face was so full of confidence that everyone thought that they have it all done. Unfortunately that was the opposite of what's going to happen next.

I still doesn't know what's her plan is!

Thay have reached here early and Cagalli hid the puppy under her desk and out something on those papers and she did not tell him what it is. All he knows that her plan have something to do with that puppy. To Athrun's surprise, that puppy was extremely quiet as if there is no puppy inside.

It better be good!

"Let's start our first presentation with Miss Attha and Mr Za…" only to be interrupted by a loud burst out from Cagalli. Athrun who was shocked fell down from his chair.

"DOG ATE OUR PROJECT!" she screamed.

Athrun was indeed shocked and he sat up to Cagalli and saw that she was trying to save the paper from the puppy. He wanted to help out but the puppy dragged those papers of his and ran out of the door. Cagalli stood up with difficulties, forgetting about her twisted ankle ran after it. She couldn't run of course and on the edge of falling. Athrun held her waist and both of them fell.

"We are falling aren't we?" she asked as she closes her eyes.

"Yes! We are."

THUMP

"Ouch!" they both said in unison as they reached the cold hard cement.

III

"I couldn't believe this! We are having detention!"

They were scrubbing the school wall with only two brushes, some detergent and two pails. Athrun was scrubbing the wall with a smile on his face and Cagalli sprinkled some water to him.

"Hey!" he protested.

"I can't believe you are still smiling!" her hands on her hips, looking at him with disapproval look.

"Your plan worked! We both get A for our presentation." He said calmly with a sense of humor in his voice as he continued to scrub the wall.

"But we have detention!" she fill in the pail with water and trudged painfully towards the wall and begin to scrub again.

"It was worth it." He said it followed by a barking sound. Athrun and Cagalli turned and saw Athrun Junior running towards them.

CAgalli face lit up instantly and kneeled down, held her arms out and Athrun junior leap to her. She was laughing so loud and Athrun kneeled down beside them and stroked that little puppy head. It did help them to get A for their presentation after all.

"I missed you so much Athrun Junior!" as she hugged that dog.

"What did you put on the paper!" he was trying to find out and this was the perfect chance since she was too happy with that puppy.

I am not going to admit him as Athrun Junior! NO WAY!

"Not a chance Zala! Not going to tell you!" she was smirking at him and he pouted a little. He went off to continue with his wall scrubbing and hear every conversation Cagalli had with that puppy.

"Athrun and Athrun junior huh?" her voice, Athurn noticed was full with sarcasms and he poured the water towards her direction.

And she was all wet along with the puppy. Cagalli releases Athrun Junior and he ran towards Athrun wanting to play more giving advantage to Cagalli to poured Athrun with water as well. Athrun tripped on that puppy when he tried to avoid him and unfortunately Cagalli's pail of water found him.

He wiped the water away from his face. An evil smile was formed and he chased the limping Cagalli with the hose.

I never knew there was a hose!

"Payback time Zala!" she shouted at him and he was once again being showered with water.

"This is so unfair!"
