A/N: This will be a long one, actually my first long one, so it maybe strained. Please read and review so that I can improve my skill. Thank you very much.

Chapter 1:
"Princess, here are your new bodyguards." Announced an old guard.
"Oh, thank you." A pink haired girl replied gently. She was the Princess of the Magical Land, Lacus Clyne, also known as the Pink Princess. The old guard took a step back and nodded backward. Three good-looking boys came in from behind the great oak door. They bowed and then kept their posture still.
"Please introduce yourselves." The princess demanded with a warm smile across her cherry lips.
"Yes Ma'am." Replied a brown haired boy respectfully. "My name's Kira Yamato or Kira Hibiki. I'm sixteen, and I'm also known as Messenger of Freedom." He tilted his head up to look at the princess with crystal violet eyes. He was a cute one, and the princess blushed at him.
"My name's Athrun Zala, also called Red Knight. I'm sixteen, too." Came a drop dead gorgeous blue haired boy with emerald green eyes. The princess nodded and looked at the one left.
"My name's Cagalli Yula Attha or Cagalli Hibiki also called Orb Girl. I'm also sixteen." Spoke the blonde.
"Oh, you are a girl?" The princess questioned surprised. "And… You are Mr. Hibiki… err… Kira here's sister?"
"Yes Ma'am." The blonde answered nodded. Her amber orbs were studying the princess sitting in front of her curiously.
"Whoa, that's great. I have never seen a girl being a bodyguard. Well, from now, this palace is your own house. Please stay here and be comfortable. Oh, and one more thing, please don't call me Ma'am, I'm still young. Clyne is okay." The princess giggled and demanded with her singing voice. "Then, Mister Rivera, please take care of them."
The guard nodded and the four bowed again, then they walked out of the room.
"Mister Hibiki looks so cute." The princess thought smiling, and she blushed lightly at that thought.
"Hey Kira, do you know anything about this princess we are in charge of protecting?" Cagalli asked her brother.
"I don't know much about her, father just told me that she is the only child of the King, so she needs to be protected with strict security." Kira answered shaking his head slightly.
"Well, I heard that she's quite a nice princess, but there are many people want to kidnap her to put pressure on the King. That's why we are here." Athrun explained not looking at Cagalli. "Well, anyway, when will we have our schedule?"
The two shook their heads, but the old guard answered for them:
"You will start your job tomorrow. Your work is to follow the Princess everywhere she goes in order to protect her. Remember, don't let anyone harm her, or else you will have to receive punishments, understand?"
The three nodded their heads. They were heading for their new rooms. While crossing the garden, they saw a brown haired girl running among the flowers. Following her was a tanned blonde.
"Well, Mister Rivera, our job is the same as that boy over there?" Cagalli asked pointing at the running blonde. The old man nodded and introduced:
"That one is the bodyguard of Miss Haww, the child of our prime minister. Please don't forget that. So be respectful to her, and try to help that boy. Oh, I forget, his name is Dearka Elsman."
Then they arrived at a room with a quite large door. The old man pointed at the door and said:
"This is your room, boys. Come in and feel comfortable. And Miss Hibiki, please follow me to your room." The boys came into the room and choked. It was really luxurious with wooden furniture and a huge lighting fixture on the ceiling. There were two beds and a bathroom with a large tube. At the end of the room was a glass window which had a great sight of the garden.
"This room sure is for the dudes." Kira commented wincing.
"Hey there's a door here, Kira." Athrun pointed at a wooden door and came near it, "Where does this lead to?" He opened the door and found a smaller room, but not less luxurious. And he heard the door opened, and when he saw the one who was stepping in, his jaw dropped.
"Attha?"
"Huh? What are you doing here Zala?" The one who was standing at the door questioned suspiciously.
"There's a strange door in our room, I opened it and find this room." Athrun explained defensively.
"Ah, that's right. There's a door connecting the two rooms, so if you three need something, you can call your partner." The old man said with a smile across his face. Then he told the three to change into their normal clothes to start their trip around the palace so that they wouldn't get lost. Five minutes later, they were standing ready in front of their rooms.
"So, let's go. Next time, if you get lost, you can ask the maids." The man said, "There's nowhere you can go except the Princess's room. If you don't have the permission, then do not walk in or else you would be punished, get it?"
"Yes sir." The three answered, noting to themselves. The palace was a really large place, and it was really easy to get lost. But wherever they went, the two boys copied the place into their memories perfectly, as if they were the cameras. But that was difficult for the blonde to remember the entire place in the palace, after all, she was a normal girl. (Author's explanation: Athrun was the child of a wizard, and Kira was the child of a witch, so they had better brain and physical abilities comparing to the normal ones. In Gundam Seed, they are the ones called Coordinators. About Cagalli, she was the step sister of Kira, so she was only a normal person or a Natural if you like. Well, I got the idea a long time ago, and now I put it here. It maybe not the same as the anime, but well, this is a fiction, right?)
At about 7:30 pm, they returned to their room exhausted.
"Okay, you will have dinner at 8:00. The maids will bring your meals to you. About one hour later, they will come to clear it away. Hope you will have a good dinner and nice sleep." The man said, then he carefully recommended: "Tomorrow at 6:00 am, you will have to be ready at the Princess's room. Don't be late. And again, follow her to everywhere she goes and take good care of her, okay?"
The three merely nodded as they were so tired. Then they came in to have a shower and relax before having dinner.
"Oh, when is dinner? I'm starving." Cagalli whined to herself. Suddenly, there was someone knocking on the door. She ran to open it and saw a hearty meal ready for her. She took it in and devoured all. Then she put the meal out for the maids to clear, so as they wouldn't have to come into her room. Then she threw herself on the bed and quickly went to sleep. Before her brain totally relaxed, she thought:
"Athrun Zala… Nice name. He… is… interesting."
The next morning…
"Cagalli! Wake up!" Kira called knocking at the door they shared. The only sounds he received were the groaning of the girl.
"Wake up wake up or we will be late!" Kira called patiently.
"Give me five more minutes." Cagalli grunted sleepily.
"No! The Princess is waiting!" Kira growled, started to be impatient.
"What? The Princess?" Cagalli sat up immediately as the word struck her sleeping brain. "Geez, why didn't you say that first?" and launched to the bathroom in less than a second. Her uniform was the same designed as Athrun's and Kira's. It was the red kind of ZAFT suit, but with a black cloak behind. Cagalli sure looked like a boy in the suit.
Five minutes later, they were running along the corridor led to the princess's room. Then Cagalli suddenly stopped at a huge door.
"Is this her room?" She asked.
"No, Attha. Her room is about 100 meters ahead." Athrun stopped and gave a smile. Cagalli's heart wanted to stop beating when she saw his enticing smile. Her face turned red uncontrollably, and she fell into a loss of words. All she could do was nodded and ran ahead bending her head down.
"What's with her?" Athrun asked his best buddy innocently while continued running.
"Heh heh, I will tell you when the right time comes." Kira answered smiling deviously. They arrived at the princess's room oak door at exactly 6:00. The room was really quiet. Kira cleared his throat and knocked the door gently:
"Princess, have you waken up yet?" He asked with cautious voice. No answer.
"Good morning, Princess." Kira called out louder. Still no answer.
"Did something happen to her?" Cagalli asked her brother with a sweat drop on her head.
"I don't know." Kira shrugged, but inside he was starting to be worried. "Princess." He called again, louder so that anyone in that room, even sleeping could hear. No sounds could be heard from inside.
"Excuse me." Kira apologized and slowly opened the door as he was really really worried about the Princess's safety. To their surprise, the room was empty.
To be continued.
