After an endless laughter of getting Yuuna admitted to the hospital for taking to much detoxified powder, she finally retreated from the madness and visit her slumbering mother. She sat beside her and stroke her hair gently and at that moment she felt tremendously lonely. She remembered how she always accompany her and tell her stories about how she met her father.
But now?
"No need to get sad Cagalli." the elderly woman yet attractive seated herself up.
"Getting sad? I did not." staring blankly at her mother not quite understand what is she talking about.
"I go through this before when I first fell in love with you daddy." her delicate face appeared a small smile, her eyes fill with love as she remembered those tender memories. Her husband was there with a curling smile listening to what his wife would be thinking that time. He could mock her later he knew and he love it.

As the pink-haired girl strolled around the hall way, she was fumbling for her dorm keys but to her disappointment, it was now here to be found. She had thought of walking around to search for them but despite the lateness, she decided to take a chance to meet up with the headmaster and get herself a pair of new keys.
A small smile was visible as she knock on the door or the office and greeted by a worker there cleaning up the office. She asked for the keys and the worker gave it to her.
"Good night Miss Lacus." the worker bid good night.
"Good night to you too." and she walked out of the office.
Mission accomplish!

Athrun was actually surprise to find Kira getting out this late of night and not his usual getting some sleep activity. He continue to type furiously on the laptop and once in a while gave a worried glance to the brunette. He looked agitated.
"What is wrong with you? You are out of it." he looked up from the screen as the brunette sighed heartily.
"Lacus asked me to come out and I have a feeling of discomfort about this." he slumped himself on the bed, glancing at the clock from time to time.
"I thought you always wanted to go out with her." getting a little confuse.
"I did but something is just not right. Somehow I have a very bad feeling about this meeting." as he took his dorm keys, saying good bye to Athrun and walked off while his mind is trying to figure out what exactly so important that Lacus couldn't talk to him during school day.
It's just not like her
III
She put a tablet of sleeping pills inside the cup and see it dissolve. Slowly she exchange the cup with the the other cup on the table and continue to hid as soon she heard noise coming out from the bathroom. She waited patiently for her to take the cup and drink and she did.
In few seconds time, she saw the girl clumsily slumped herself on the bed, felt asleep and nothing can wake her up from her peaceful slumber. She get herself out underneath the bed and opened the closet . She peered the clothes inside and search for the one she always wear it ans will be easily recognize and quickly have herself change to the one of her clothes.
III
"Lacus? Are you here yet?" he was glancing inside the dark store room as she had requested and he felt it deeply strange to meet up in a place like this.
He left the store room door slightly open to let the lights to lighten up the room a little. She had ordered him not to on the lights and he didn't object. He seated himself on the floor waiting for her arrival and the bugging feeling kept on growing from time to time.

"You don't believe me Cagalli?" her soft hand stroke the blonde hair slowly as the blonde shook her head.
"No mum. It just kind of hard to believe that's all." she glance towards her pale face.
"It is! Your father is a very annoying man to me and he really love eavesdropping till now." as the elderly man emerged behind the doors and hugged his deeply in love wife in his arms ans planted a soft kiss on her cheeks. Cagalli was amazed to see her mother still blushes after all this years of getting together.
"I thought you say you never miss me and you are having the best time away from me." he mocked her and the redness on her mother cheek brighten.
"I am." she looked away from his gaze and Cagalli couldn't help to stifle a laughter and quietly tip toed out of their room feeling envy at their relationship.
"What did I hear just now huh?"
"Lies!" she laughed sweetly.
"Really?" he tickled her lightly avoiding form hurting her too much.
Cagalli walked away not wanting to hear the rest of their conversation. She went back to her room and seated herself beside the window and stared up at the starless sky. The crystals beside her was dancing with light continuously and the soft melody of 'Somewhere Out There' was heard. She still couldn't believe what her mother had told her. It was all too weird and sudden.
Maybe...maybe...
"I have fallen in love..."

She off the light inside the room as she tied herself on the chair while staring at the invisible camera hidden. She struggled and moaned, trying to get herself away from the ropes.
"L-Let me go! What do you want from me?"
A soft click was heard and the camera was off. She stood up and threw away the ropes. She replay the video and she smirked. It was perfect. The image of her face was blurred by the darkness and what is visible is just the dress she was wearing and her pink hair.
She turned and looked at the stirring girl and she immediately activated the radio planted inside the store room hearing every single voice there. By the time she receive the signal, everything will be just like she had planned.
It is time...
III
Kira heard footsteps and he stood up from where he is only to see Fllay standing in front of him instead of Lacus.
"Fllay? What are you doing here?" he asked.
Fllay walked towards him with a small evil smile and handed him a paper. He took the paper and read it. He tumbled on to the floor at the content of the paper. He glared at the red-haired and wanted so desperately to demand her to release Lacus but he couldn't.
One mistakes and Lacus will be in danger. He turned to look at the camcorder and saw Lacus struggling to get herself out of the binding ropes. Her voice sounded pain and desperate. Fllay smirked as he r plan was perfectly according to plan. She stepped forward towards the anger brunette and hug him which he wanted to get away.
"K-Kira! Do you love me?"
III
Her heart was beating fast as she was awaiting for the reply Kira would give her. It could mean only one thing whether Kira even have any feelings for her. She was still confuse how did the radio will be at her room or why did she suddenly fallen asleep but nothing matters now, all that matters is the answer she wanted to her so badly.
"Kira..."
III
Cagalli was hugging the bolster tightly imagining the figure was someone else. She was desperate to get back to school now and how much she wanted to see him again. As she play the song again and again, the warming feeling grew.
"But I don't want to...I don't want to fall in love with you."
III
"You better do what I say if you wanted to see her safe and sound." she whispered softly inside his ears and he was shaking with anger. He slipped the piece of paper inside his pocket and with a deep breath...
"I-I l-love you Fllay." as the tears that were held back for a very long time finally stream down his face, feeling useless for not able to protect the girl that he had love ever since. Kira broke free from her hug and only to receive a threatening glare and the whimpering voice of Lacus in pain.
He couldn't bare to watch it any more, he doesn't want to see her suffer. All he wanted to do is help her away from the pain even though it means breaking his own heart and lying to everyone else.
"Only you Fllay...from the start till the end."
III
Lacus heart was broken into pieces as the the words coming form the one she love so much. Kira never bore any feelings for her and he only love Fllay. How could she be so stupid to realize it now. She was hurt and she never wanted to planted any hope ever again.
"I am wrong to love you Kira...so wrong." as the droplets of her tears stained the pillow she was hugging.
III
Cagalli was determined and she is going to stick with her decision. Whatever it is, Athrun Zala will forever be her friend and nothing more. She love him but she doesn't want to admit it because sooner or later, she will be heartbroken. Learning that she will never able to fight with all those beautiful fan girls of his,n she learn to let go. The big question still remains... who was Cagalli Yula Attha to him?
"I'm just nothing to him...nothing." and the crystalline roses was kept and the melody was no longer heard.
