:Time:
Mu and Murrue looked out the overly large kitchen window to their house. They were watching the kids. No, not their kids, but the kids that they considered like their brothers and sisters. Kira and then rest of them, even Yzak had joined the fun. They were all outside playing a childish game of flashlight tag. Murrue was leaning against Mu as they smiled at the scene unfolding. They had only started the game a few minutes before and already Cagalli was after Athrun and Kira. They laughed when Cagalli jumped on Athrun's back and pulled him over on top of herself.
"It seems that they're finally adjusting to the peace, hm?" Murrue hummed as she closed her eyes.
"Yeah, it seems so,"
"I'm just glad that we both got the opportunity to watch, now that their in our backyard, I can see how much they've grown and yet, there's something missing, a gap," Murrue turned to look Mu in the eyes. "Do you know what I mean?"
"I see what you're trying to say, but I also see what's missing," He had Murrue's full attention now.
"We were fighting that war for over a year, and those kids, they missed a part of their lives fighting that war up there. It's to be expected that there will be a gap there for a little while, but like you said, watching them here right now, it seems as If they're finally filling in that empty half. They deserve this, and they're getting what they need out of being able to be 17 again," Mu explained as he nuzzled her neck making her laugh as his hair tickled her.
Just then the patio door slid open and in rushed Cagalli, 2 flashlights in her hand.
"Hey, lovebirds, get out here and join the fun, we miss having our Captain and Commander in charge keeping things in order," She smiled while tossing the flashlights to the couple.
"What could be so out of order that needs us to be out there?" Mu joked as he pulled Murrue and himself towards the patio door.
"Well, Dearka's stuck in a tree, Milly's gone rabid, Lacus and Kira are getting chased by Athrun in the woods, and Yzak's rebelling,"
"Wow, I guess they really do need us, Commander La Flaga," Murrue purred as she stepped onto the patio and into the summer night.
"It appears so, Captain Ramius," He growled back as he flicked his flashlight on.
The minute his light went on Cagalli grabbed Murrue's hand and pulled her through the yard, weaving them around trees, both laughing all the way. Mu was right behind them until he lost them in the woods where Kira, Athrun, and Lacus were running around in. He didn't have a clue where they went until they popped out from behind a tree and Murrue jumped on his back.
"Gotcha!" Cagalli shouted as she shone her flashlight on him, and she and Murrue were promptly running away again.
Mu was too fast however, as he caught up and wrapped his arms around Murrue's slim waist and spun her in circles.
"MU, PUT ME DOWN!" She laughed as he continued spinning. He eventually stopped and let her down as she tripped over her own two feet, stumbling for balance, her flip flops making extra flops for every missed step she took.
"You still didn't get me," She taunted.
"Yes, but can you even walk straight enough to get away?" He laughed her still stumbling figure in her dizziness.
"Yeah!" She yelled childishly, a feature he loved to see in her.
They were all off running around again, well into the night, never getting bored. It appears that all that the former crew to the Archangel needed was a little time to live again.
