The Heart Doesn't Lie
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny or any of the characters in this story
Note: I tried to add this in chapter 2 but I messed up and it did not get in there. I am adding additional characters in the next couple of chapter, so please bear with me. I am not going to jump right in to the relationships but build up to them. So who knows who will end up with who and I don't want to tell although some may become pretty obvious. But I will say one thing: this is not a AsuCag fic.
Comments: to Yunih- Thank you. I hope you continue to like my story.
To furin-a: to clarify- that was just Fllay saying he was her's, I was not actually saying they are a couple. This chapter should clear that up a little better. In this story there are not any couples yet.
Also Fllay is not the heroine, it may be hard to tell but the actual main character if I had to pick one is Athrun. (he is my favorite)
Chapter 3
Lacus Clyne looked at her reflection one last time. 'Perfect' she thought. For the festival tonight the students were allowed to wear a costume. Lacus had decided to go as a rock star and wear clothes she would not normally wear. She had on black leather pants and black boots. Her shirt was a somewhat tight fitting, hot pink one that said 'Princess' in shiny letters. She would be wearing a lite weight black jacket as well.
She had put her hair up in a ponytail and was wearing makeup. All in all she thought she looked pretty good. Different from her usually always wearing dresses look, but good.
"I wonder if Kira will like it.' Lacus had asked Kira to walk with her, but it seems she had been to late and he already had plans. She had liked Kira for a while now. He is smart, handsome, nice, and she just felt drawn to him. She was not sure how he felt about her. He was always very polite when he talked to her, but he was that way with everyone. And she is his sister best friend so if he was mean to her Cagalli would probably get mad at him.
There just was not anything he did that really said I like you, you are special to me. She really wanted to see something like that. She knew she really could not complain she has not told or really shown him her own feelings. She was hoping to let him know tonight, but that couldn't happen now. He was going to be with someone else.
"Miss Lacus, Miss Cagalli is here." said one of the maids.
"Thank you. I will be down in a minute." Lacus grabbed her jacket and headed downstairs to meet Cagalli, who would be driving them tonight.
Cagalli had decided on being a soccer player for the festival. That way she did not have to wear anything to 'girly' as she had put it. She hated events that she was expected to wear a dress to which is why she loved the Halloween Festival, she could wear whatever she wanted.
"Wow Lacus, look at you. You are going to have all the guys drooling." Cagalli told her.
"You think so?" Lacus asked laughing slightly. "Do you think Kira will like it?"
"If he doesn't maybe he should get his eyes checked." Cagalli was well aware of her friends feelings for her brother, what she did not know was her brothers feelings, if any, for her friend.
"What is he dressing up as? Did you find out who he is walking around with?" Lacus had not asked Kira who it was that he had plans with. She had not wanted to appear to nosy, but asking Cagalli should be okay.
"He is going as the Phantom of the Opera guy. He didn't tell me who he was walking with. If I had to make a guess, I would say probably Fllay. She has been talking about him a lot lately from what I hear." Cagalli really wanted to be able to tell her friend that the person her brother had plans with was his best friend, but she was not sure that was the case. Kira had acted like he was not really looking forward to tonight and up until today he had been excited about the festival.
'Fllay probably tricked him or made him feel bad to get him to agree.' Cagalli knew that Kira was not really interested in Fllay, he had told her that before, but he is a nice guy who tends to feel bad when he says no to a girl. Especially if he doesn't really think he has a solid reason to.
"And Athrun already had plans as well? You asked him, didn't you?" Lacus asked her studying her face for her answer.
"...Yeah, I asked him. He had plans already" Cagalli answered her friend with what she considered a little white lie. Cagalli had been planning on asking Athrun, but changed her mind when she found out Kira had told Lacus no. She also knew that Milly, their other best friend, was not going with anyone. She figured the three of them could go together. Athrun is a pretty popular guy with a lot of admirers so chances were he did already have plans.
"Are we picking up Milly too?"
"No, she is meeting us there in about 10 minutes." Cagalli told her after a quick glance at her watch. "We better go. If we make her wait to long she is going to be mad."
"Where are those two? They are late. They should have been here about 10 minutes ago." Milly stated with an annoyed tone to no one in particular. She had been waiting outside at the meeting place for Lacus and Cagalli. It was a little cool out and her red devil costume did not offer any protection.
Since she was standing outside she had gotten a lot of glances and a few whistles. 'Ah, great here comes a big group of guys.' Milly hoped they would just pass her by but, since they were stopping in front of her, that did not seem to be the case.
"Woah! Milly you look great!"exclaimed Dearka Elsman. She was not really surprised, lately Dearka was always flirting with her.
'It doesn't mean anything coming from him, he flirts with every girl.' Milly thought as she answered his comment with a glare.
Dearka was with Yzak Jule, Rusty Mackenzie, Miguel Aiman, Sting Oakly, Nicol Amalfi, and Heine Westenfluss. Dearka and Rusty were known as the biggest playboys in school. Milly was not interested in having anything to do a playboy. No, the one she likes is a gentleman. He is responsible, kind, smart and knows how to treat a girl. He does not go around flirting with every girl like Dearka does. The one she likes is Heine. Unfortunately he was also the only one who was not looking at her right now.
"Yeah she looks great." stated Yzak rather sarcastically. "A devil is it? Nice. Can we go in now?" That last part was more of a demand than a question.
'Wow, what's his problem?' Milly looked at Yzak only to receive a cold glare in return. 'What did I do to him?'
"We're going, we're going. You really do look great Milly, see you later." Dearka said with a big smile directed at her, which earned her another cold glare from Yzak. The rest of the guys gave her a quick nodded as they passed, all except Heine, who ignored her completely.
Luna walked into the school thankful for the warmth. It was only a little cool outside but her fairy costume was fairly thin. It was basically a dress with wings and tights, no warmth there. Luna had talked Rey Za Burrel into accompanying her tonight. Although Rey is in the same grade as her he is also Shinn's best friend.
Shinn and Rey are opposites. Shinn is loud, outspoken, and quick to anger (not as quick to anger as Yzak, that guy has the shortest fuse of any of them). Rey is quiet, does not say much of anything, and does not seem to get angry at all. Shinn is also caring and protective, whereas Luna has never seen those qualities in Rey. All in all, Rey is not a bad guy. Luna and him have been friends for a while, not close friends, but friends none the less.
Luna glanced around. She was looking for Shinn. She really did not want to see him with Stellar, but she could not help but want to see him. 'I wonder what he came as.'
As Luna and Rey continued to walk around she felt a hand grabbed her arm from behind. She smiled 'Shinn, he wanted to see me too!' Luna quickly turned around and her smile fell.
"What do you want Rusty?"
"Something wrong with wanting to say hello to the girl I like?" Rusty asked her with an innocent smile on his face.
"You mean the girl you like this week. Don't give me that innocent look of yours, we all know you are not innocent and I'm not going to fall for your trick. Now let go of me." Luna demanded.
Rusty released her arm. What Luna had said had been true for the most part. 'I guess she is not going to be so easy to get. That's okay, I like a challenge.' Rusty thought.
Luna wondered why he was smiling like that as he walked away after what she had just said to him. She quickly dismissed all thoughts of Rusty for she had more important things on her mind. Like finding Shinn.
Athrun had only been at the school for five minutes when he was pulled away. There seemed to be some emergency that needed his immediate attention. His escort, whose name he did not know, stopped in front of the hall that was being used as the haunted house.
"Look in there" the young man told his as he pointed to the door. Athrun looked at him confused for a moment then pulled open the door.
"What the..." Athrun trailed off stunned by the sight before him. The haunted house had been destroyed. "Who?" was all he could say.
Standing next to another building, out of sight, watching the scene play out with Athrun were two angry eyes.

Please review so I can hear what people think. Maybe get some ideas.
