A/N: Sorry if this chapter seems a little boring. It's kind of just setting the board for chapter 4, which will be a lot more interesting.
Thanks to AthrunXCagalli4ever for reviewing!
Now here's chapter 3! Enjoy!
CHAPTER III
Babysitting, Plans and Love Notes
The Next Day…
"Ugh… grounded… did it ever occur to her that three harsh punishments are enough?" Yzak muttered to himself as he sat in his room with nothing to do.
The door suddenly opened and Ezaria walked in. She was carrying his younger sister.
"Yzak. I need you to look after your sister for me. I'm going out," she said gently handing him the young girl. Her name was Allaya and like Yzak she had silver hair and blue eyes.
"What-? How long will you be?" Yzak asked quickly. "Two hours. –And don't you try anything funny while I'm gone!" She shouted before leaving the room.
"That's like… trying to stop the rain from falling…" he muttered.
Allaya giggled and began pulling his hair.
"Ow! Stop it!"
Noon…
Miriallia rang the Clyne mansions' doorbell and wait for about five seconds before Lacus opened the door.
"Oh hello, Miriallia," she said pleasantly. "Come in. Shiho's already here."
"Really?" she asked. "What time did she get here?"
"11:55," Lacus answered. "Please go up to my room and make yourself at home."
Miriallia nodded and walked up the stairs and into Lacus' room. Now let me take this opportunity to say that Lacus' room is huge. About nine average-sized rooms put together. It had its own sitting room, a fireplace, a king-sized bed, a mini libraryand to top it all off, a balcony.
Shiho was sitting over on the couch closest to the door.
"Hello. It's been awhile," Miriallia said sitting down beside her. "-You know, since you left a year ago."
"Yes… my parents decided to move to the other side of town. But we've decided on moving back in about a week," Shiho replied. "Wow, really? That's great!" Miriallia said smiling.
Their conversation was cut short by door opening and Cagalli walking in. "Oh, hello Cagalli," Miriallia said politely. To be honest, she didn't like Cagalli; they just didn't click.
"You don't have to be nice, you know," she said suddenly as she down on the couch across from them. "Well I want to be," she answered. "You're too kind…" Cagalli said dully.
Once again, the door opened and Lacus and Fllay walked in. "All right! Everyone's here now!" Lacus said happily, sitting down beside Cagalli while Fllay sat down beside Miriallia. "So let's plan out what we're going to do today," Lacus said with enthusiasm.
An Hour later…
"All right, we've decided that this is what we're going to do: First we'll watch a movie- whatever I can find and that will bring us to 3:30. Second, we'll have that stupid and pointless pillow fight to 4:30. Third, we'll have a drawing contest going until 5:30. Fourth, we'll look back on the last two year books. Fifth we'll have dinner. After that it will be 8:30 and my mother wants us to get ready for bed. That always takes an hour… So after that we can gossip! Sounds like a plan, huh?" Lacus listed cheerfully. (It's over, you can wake up now...)
"Yeah, it's good…" Cagailli began, "but do we have to have that pillow fight?"
At the Jule Mansion…
Allaya was screaming and crying at the top of her lungs. Yzak cradled her in his arms and told her to calm down but she of course did no such thing. As if it wasn't bad enough already, just fifteen minutes ago Ezaria called saying that she'd be back at 9:00. And after that, he started feeling unwell- as in a headache and sore throat.
"Oh, would you please stop crying…" Yzak muttered feeling like crying himself.
After two more minutes of trying to get Allaya to calm down, Yzak decided that this was enough. He grabbed the phone and dialed "271-488-4172". (There's one of those made up numbers that you really shouldn't try to dial.) That number was so easy to remember- it was the same backwards.
"What do you want, Yzak?" Came Dearka's voice after it had rang three times. "I need your help… really, really badly… I have too much to deal with right now… Allaya won't stop crying and I think I'm catching something… and that's not normal because Coordinators rarely succumb to little viruses…" Yzak answered. "Well… if I come over to help out… what's in it for me?" Dearka asked. He groaned. "Well… what do you want?"
"All your Linkin Park and Green Day CD's," He answered without the slightest hesitation. (Linkin Park and Green Day rocks! –And no, I do not own them…)
"…Fine, Mother only bitches about them anyway…" Yzak sighed. "All right. I'll be right over," Dearka laughed.
3:30 At the Clyne Mansion…
"It's pillow fight time!" Lacus cheered, throwing everyone a pillow after watching some random movie picked out by Fllay. (Must've sucked...)
"Can we not hit too hard?" Shiho asked quietly. "Why? That takes all the fun out of it," Cagalli said throwing her pillow in Fllay's face. "Ow!" She cried. "Fllay, it's just a pillow… a soft pillow," Miriallia said, rolling her eyes. "It still hurts!" Fllay shouted, throwing her pillow in Miriallia's face. And thus, an armageddon pillow fight broke out.
At the Zala Mansion…
The doorbell rang and Athrun lazily got up from his seat at the computer and answered the door. There stood Kira.
"Oh, it's just you…" Athrun muttered. "Why are you so disappointed? Who'd think it'd be?" Kira asked. "A girlfriend," Athrun said suddenly. "What-?" Kira asked in shock. "Nothing," Athrun replied quickly, then went back to his spot at the computer. Shrugging, Kira walked inside and closed the door behind him.
"Hey Athrun… what's with the sudden obsession over the computer?" He asked, hoping for a less disturbing answer this time around. "Nothing…" he answered, covering the screen from Kira. "Nothing, huh?" He asked, casually hitting the 'print' button on the keyboard. (um… I don't think there really is a 'print' button… but… whatever…) "Kira! No!" Athrun shouted, trying to grab the paper as it came out of the printer but Kira beat him to it. "Find Your True Love!'" He read. "Oh, this is funny. Are you lonely Athrun?" He teased but then stopped"–Hey, wait… why are you having trouble finding a girlfriend?"
"I'm not. It's just… most of the girls at our school are sluts…" He muttered. "Dating on the Internet isn't any better," Kira pointed out. "Well- I found this one girl, she's really nice," Athrun said. "It's a lot easier to lie on the Internet than in person," he threw back. "Okay, you're right…" Athrun sighed, turning off the computer and walking up the stairs towards his room. Kira followed.
"Hey, I bet I can set you up with a great girl by the end of next school year's first semester," Kira stated as Athrun pulled a huge bin out of his walk-in closet.
"What's that?" He asked as Athrun threw it down on the floor and took the lid off. "Look," he replied simply. He did. And in the bin was at least one thousand love notes. "Oh, lordy…" Kira muttered in disbelief. "Who're they all from?"
"I've been getting them since the sixth grade from grade fours, fives and other sixes. Then I went to middle school... More love notes from grade sevens, eight's and nines… then there's high school. Notes from grade tens, eleven's and twelve's… I got an average of one hundred notes from each grade. And just to clear this up, they were all from girls…" Athrun muttered, almost sounding irritated.
"Wow…" Kira began as he continued to stare at the pile of love notes, "you're not such a loser after all."
A/N:See?It is kind of boring but the next chapter will be a lot better, honest!
