Athrun keep rolling in his sleep, his heart feeling a uncertain feeling of agitated and nervous. Of what? He definitely doesn't have a clue about it. He opened his eyes slowly and saw no AJ by his side and clearly remembered Cagalli's will to have AJ tonight with her.
She's going home tomorrow
The whole gang have decided to have a farewell party for her after school tomorrow, each of them bring a gift for her even though how much she insisted it wasn't a big deal, he could see it in her face that she enjoyed every moment of it. Why would going home is such a happy moment? He never like going home not especially when his dad is there.
Going home is a small deal but with Yuuna and Afhmed, it brings a very strong discomfort feeling to him. Most probably because he knew that purple freak have some itchiness towards Cagalli. His hand clenched slightly at that disturbing thought. He remembered his meeting Yuuna early that evening and t reminded him that Yuuna somehow will make things even worse.
"Go to sleep Athrun!You'll see her again in two weeks time." Kira voice was ringing at the side of his ear and he jumped.
"God Kira! You scared the hell out of me." he sighed in relief and Kira chuckled slightly but Athrun noticed his voice wasn't as merry as before.
It must have something to do with Lacus and Fllay
"So what happened between you, Lacus and Fllay?" he turned around to face the troubled brunette.
He gave Athrun the look he knew very well. The I-have-no-idea-and-I-hate-that look. Athrun sighed sympathetically for him and for himself as well. He wondered how is he going to go through the week without Cagalli.
I probably have to run away from Mia like I usually do
"How about you?" Kira voiced up after the silence.
"What about me?" playing the innocent look on his face and tries to ignore the question.
"You like Cagalli didn't you? And please don't deny it." curiosity fills his face that instant and his lips curving into a small mockery smile.
"How did you know?" his felt his face heated up.
"I didn't! You just told me." laughing out loud and Athrun looked at him with his surprised additional with the word 'I can't believe it' on his face.
He glared slightly and the red on his face have not faltered and worst it was getting redder at every second of Kira's laughing. He covered himself with his blanket and proceed to trying to get some sleep but earning a louder laughter from Kira. He wouldn't blame him since he knew his best friend need to cheer up as well.
"Go to sleep Kira!" Athrun yelled lightly at him.

The next morning was a chaos since the headmaster have a new sport to introduce which happens to be Athrun's specialty-archery. Cagalli was hoping up and down happily, her face filled with excitement gesturing Athrun who was carrying the bow and the arrows to hurry up. Dearka on the other side was bragging how good his archery skill is and Yzak was giving the competition look to Athrun.
"I am going to win you this time Zala! Wait and seeee!" as Shiho dragged him away saying cold and hurtful words to him causing more competitions spirit in him.
"Stop that Joule! You'll never win him. Will you ever give up!" with a small irritated tone but Athrun heard a little amusement in them.
"WILL YOU HURRY UP ZALA!" this time Athrun is surprised to find out it's not Yzak who shouted that line but Cagalli is. Yzak was brutally trying to shout back at Cagalli that that was his line to Zala but Shiho smacked his head earning a loud growl from him.
"Get mature, Mr Joule." everyone in the class laughed when Mr.Fllaga voiced up his opinion and Yzak sunk back in defeat.
The students assembled themselves in the field and each with their own partner getting in line, a partner in the front giving signal, while the other prepares to shoot. Cagalli volunteered to give signal and Athrun get ready with the bow and the arrows. Cagalli was standing there but she found herself cursing at her shoe when she stepped on a broken nail that go through her shoes.
"AWW SHOOT!" she groaned not noticing that she had shouted the word shoot loud.
Athrun was looking at her with a bewildered expression on his face. Did she just said shoot? Now? Athrun saw Cagalli was not paying attention nor making a move to get away from there. She was paying attention to her shoe. Did she not know it was dangerous to stand there?Who knows where the arrow will go?
Cagalli was tugging the nail on her shoe trying to take it out but it was plain useless. It just would get out. She cursed under her breath and continue to tug harder.
"Come one! FASTER!"
Athrun uncertainty took the arrow and aim it hoping that Cagalli know what she was doing there. He took a deep breath, closed one eye and begin to stretch the string of the bow. One-two-three, he releases it and that was when Cagalli finally got the nail out and screamed when she saw the arrow was coming towards her.
"DUCK CAGALLI!" Athrun yelled as loud as he can earning attention from every single person in the field.
Cagalli quickly ducked and luckily the arrow does have its eyes when it landed at the red mark on the board. Both Athrun and Cagalli including everyone sighed in relief. Only one people cursed for the her fortunate to get away. Athrun ran over to Cagalli and try to held her but only to be swatted away by Yuuna.
"Oh my! Cagalli! Are you alright? Zala here want to murder you!" he whined like a woman and Athrun couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM ZALA! MURDERING YOUR PARTNER!" Cagalli boomed out suddenly even Yuuna was closing his ears. Athrun winced at her loud noise and gave her the apologetically look.
"Sorry!You asked me to shoot but I hesitated then you yelled faster so..." he explain softly hoping that she wouldn't scold him
Cagalli was speechless and obviously trying to find something to scold Zala about it. It was her fault to say shoot and faster when she was there but still he got brains to think that she wouldn't stand there when people was shooting arrows. She open and closed her mouth continuously but no words were formed.
"ARGH!" she smacked her hand on to her forehead and dragged the confused Athrun away leaving a whining Yuuna behind.
"I wasn't supposed to shoot?" trying to pry his hand free from the strong grip of the blonde while Cagalli rolled her eyes at his stupidity.
My life sucks!

"Disappointed Campbell?" Fllay's mockery voice rang beside her.
"You will feel the same if Lacus the one who escape that." she replied with her cold voice, feeling the anger inside her rising rapidly.
Fllay snorted and begin to find her way towards her boyfriend Kira and wanted to show Clyne that Kira belongs to her and her only. Using her little teach me archery trick, Kira will be wrapped in her fingers nicely and Clyne couldn't do anything about it but watch in jealousy. Her evil smile falters as she saw Kira and Lacus was laughing heartily at something that she wasn't aware about.
She jogged over there and clings onto Kira's arm and gave him a peck on the cheek. Lacus smile a little embarrassed smile and ran after Cagalli. Kira struggle to follow suit but Fllay's grip was unknowingly strong.
Strong for a cancer patient

Yzak was glaring at the arrow stuck on the board and look back and forth from his arrow to Athrun's arrow. Yzak's arrow was a little away from Athrun's and that can means only one thing and that is yzak lost to Athrun Zala once again which is not a big surprise to Shiho as she seated on the ground ,waiting for him to finish his glaring.
"Really Yzak, you should have known!" rolling her eyes.
"I-It must be..." he tighten his fist, clenched and unclenched. He started to breath in and out as his anger management class have taught him but every single time he exhale, he was getting angry not relaxing.
"Must be? Must be what?"
"Cagalli screaming must have effected my skill and concentration! That must be it! It has nothing to do with Zala!" he smiled at his crazy idea while Shiho groaned.
He'll never learn!
III
Fllay was resting her head on Kira's tensing shoulder feeling very comfortable but in the other hand, Kira wanted to run away. He was late for his appointment with the gang but it looks like it was a million ton job to get rid of Fllay even for a minute.
What should I do now?
"Err Fllay?" he was gulping slightly.
"Yes darling!" batting her eyelashes in Kira's opinion very irritating.
"I-I need to go to the restroom. Wait here!" as he releases himself from Fllay and ran off to the meeting place.
Fllay was putting at his sudden behavior and suspected it had something to do with the pink haired goody-goody Clyne. She stood up and silently went after Kira's trail as she was smart enough to put some silver powder on his shoes when he wasn't looking.
Wanna get rid of me Kira? Not so easy!

Kira barged into the room and panted. He saw Lacus, Athrun and Cagalli inside the room but the others are nowhere to be found. He sighed and sat on a nearby chair.
"I still make it right!" he asked.
"Make what?" Athrun being the only one who left out or clueless of what is happening asked while Cagalli smacked him lightly on his shoulder.
"Were you even paying any attention last night at out conversation?" she was actually curious while peering hard at Athrun's face. Atrhun blushes lightly and tries to hide his face from Cagalli.
No! I was thinking what am I going to say before you go home
"H-Hehe. Actually I..." he grinned foolishly at her while Lacus giggled at both of their behavior.
"I should have known." crossing her arm and her legs were hitting Athrun's a little while she was swinging his leg. Athrun blushes and if that was even possible, his face will explode due to all the blushing event had.
"HERE WE ARE!" Dearka shouted out and Miriallia's head poked out from behind him. Both Yzak and Shiho snorted at their childishness and went inside the room with their cool demeanor.
"You guys are late!" Kira stated.
"Look under your shoe Yamato! Allster almost caught us here!Luckily we sweep of the powder on the floor." Kira looked underneath his shoe and saw silver powder on it and wondered where did that come from.
"Allster put it on your shoe and followed your traces. You had it hard this time Yamato!" Kira shrugged his shoulder in defeat while Lacus was trying hard to keep up her smile even though it was obvious to everyone one of her friends except a certain brunette haired boy.
"LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED!" all of the chorused.
"What party!" Athrun asked again earning a swat from Yzak which he was too happy to do so.
III
Mia were with Fllay searching for the silver powder trace of Kira's shoes but it was plain useless. The prints disappeared half way as if they were sweep-ed off. Fllay thought that Kira wouldn't know she had put silver powder underneath his shoe but why? Why did the traces are all gone?
"Allster! Are you sure they don't wear out?" the pink haired was already whining.
"Only when he wash it!" her eyes never leave the floor as she continues to check the prints.
"We are wasting time you know that!"
"But if we wanted to make them pay, we'll have to find them."thinking of her plan to tell the headmaster for them to skip classes.
"But your Kira and my Athrun were in it too!"
"A little detention wouldn't hurt them but we get to let Attha and Clyne to suffer." as both of the girls have their evil smile when they thought of letting them to suffer in detention.
III
"Ahhh! This is a farewell party! I thought you guys said it was after school!" Athrun whined when he realize he was the only one left out of this idea.
"Didn't anyone tell him about this?" Cagalli asked while licking her fingers with chocolate.
"I thought Kira was suppose to do that."everyone turns his head towards Kira but he was too busy getting his mouth stuff with food, didn't realize it. Everyone shook their head and back to their small little feast.
"Hold it! That measn all those shooting are fake then?" Athrun asked skeptically and all of them nodded.
"What if I miss?"
"You wouldn't!" as they chorused except Yzak who was sulking.
"But you will next time Zala!"
Author's Note:
First thing is SORRY! Long time no update and I am very well aware of it. Please forgive me. This chapter is terrible and boring. Secondly, I've learn that many people are disappointed in my previous chapter because of my writing really sucks or just because Cagalli is going home, I wouldn't know but I would love it if you guys tell me about the real reason for it. As what The Angel's Princess have said about that chapter being necessary, I thank you. I have mistaken it with Da' Kick Ass Princess! Please forgive me!
AS for the "mummy" spelling. It is not wrong. I am using USA English but "mommy" can be accepted as well. If you wanna ask what with the mummy in Egypt...I guess they just have the same spelling. Snacks can really be expensive and if you want a expert, that's me except that the fact I don't eat it at midnight!LOL!
Thank you to everyone who read and review and please continue to do so. I also hope that you guys will understand that every single decision I made in my story is important. I know you guys wanted Cagalli to stay or Kira and Lacus to be together or having Fllay die but if I do so, it wouldn't be the story I have planned.
Be patience is all I can say. So...read and review! They are getting little in each chapter. I guess my writing are going down. LOL! And I will reply your question in the reply section next time. Have fun and God Bless!
