Authoress' Note: Eek! Major screw up, guys. You see, here's my problem, I don't plan out a layout for the story, but I simply let it… flow. -sweatdrops- Geeze, you guys must think I'm totally screwed, which I am! I also hopes this makes up for my lack of updates!

OoOoOoO

"Sai, you have no idea how scary it was! I thought I was going to die!" Flay cried, her voice muffled into Sai's chest.

"It's going to be okay, Flay. You're safe now…" Sai sighed, rubbing her back, soothingly. Tolle and Miriallia entered, their gazes downcast. Sai guessed they were still a bit upset about Kira's departure.

OoOoOoO

"What would make Kira join ZAFT?" Miriallia whispered in her boyfriend's ear. Tolle stared at her blankly for a moment.

"I have no idea, Miri. I have no idea." Was the only reply from the brunette.

"I thought Kira was our friend! But it turns out that he's nothing but a traitor…" The red headed female muttered, sadly. Tolle shook his head.

"Miri, you can't say Kira's a traitor, he never belonged among Naturals. I mean, he is a Coordinator, after all." Tolle pointed out.

"I guess you're right." Miriallia confessed, defeated. She wasn't in the mood to argue anyways.

Trying to lighten up the mood, Tolle rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't I always?" Miriallia giggled, and hugged him. Meanwhile while they were talking, Sai took Flay to her temporary room. There were many other civilians roaming around on the ship.

OoOoOoO

Athrun finally snapped out of his trance and told everyone to leave Kira alone for now. They all retired to their quarters and Athrun embraced the now tearing up Kira.

"I'm sorry, Kira." Athrun apologized. Kira simply stood there, letting the tears fall down his slightly pale face.

"You're s-sure you don't hate me, r-right?" Kira managed to choke out. Athrun held him closer.

"Of course not, Kira. You were my best friend, you are my best friend, and you will always be my best friend." Athrun concluded. Kira gave a tiny smile, finally hugging back.

"Thank you, Athrun. That means a lot to me."

OoOoOoO

"I still think that Athrun knows who that guy is…" Yzak muttered, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. Dearka shrugged, not exactly caring.

"You know, Yzak… you always said that Athrun thinks too much…" Nicol intervened, jokingly.

"Hey! What does that mean?" Yzak exclaimed.

"Geeze, Yzak, you usually have to keep me under control." Dearka teased, poking away at Yzak's temper.

"Shut up!" Yzak suddenly stomped away, smoke picking up from his ears. Dearka shrugged, and started following the platinum blonde. Nicol simply shook his head, and headed to his quarters.

OoOoOoO

"When I joined ZAFT, I hoped to get revenge on Naturals for killing my parents… even if I was an experiment…" Kira muttered. "And hopefully to end this war, but nothing ever goes my way, of course."

"Kira…"

"Isn't that why you joined ZAFT? So you could get revenge on your mother who was on Junius Seven?" Kira continued, his voice soft.

"Yes." Athrun bowed his head. "That's partially it. Also the fact that my father is one of the Chairmen of ZAFT, put a lot of pressure on me."

Kira nodded, understandingly. He always understood these things.

OoOoOoO

Authoress' Note: Again, sorry about the short chapter, it's just THE EVIL PLOT BUNNIES! Argh… shoots a glare at a seemingly innocent bunny Yeah, so I probably won't be updating for a while. I have things to do and places to go. Thanks to all those who took the time to review!
