The Heart Doesn't Lie
Disclaimer: I do not own GS/GSD or none of the characters.
Note: It was pointed out to me that last chapter was all girls (well except las little bit). I didn't really plan it that way it just worked out that way. I usually draw up an outline of what I want to do in the chapter and then go from there, but I don't always get in everything on the outline. This chapter has some guys. I was asked if I had ideas for the angry eyes person, yes, but I have been thinking about going a different way with that. You will see more of that person in future but I want to leave it a mystery for a while.
Chapter 4
Athrun did not have time to think. The haunted house had to be fixed quickly. Besides him, the students who were already there were the ones who were suppose to work the haunted house first.
"Okay here's what we do, you go find Heine. You three start putting the bigger items that were just knocked down back in place. You make a sign saying the haunted house will open a little late. You two and I will go find some more help. Try to get about ten people." Athrun was throwing out orders to random people but they quickly obeyed and went to work. He then took off running to find people he knew would gladly help.
"There you are. I was beginning to wonder if you were still coming." Milly said to her two friends who had finally shown up.
"We are only 15 minutes late. There was more traffic than I expected." Cagalli told her friend hoping she was not to mad.
"Well, why you were stuck in traffic I was here being harassed by Mr. Playboy himself. Also for some reason Yzak kept glaring at me. I have no idea what I did to that guy to receive such cold glares." Milly complained to her friends. She did not want to admit it but the encounter earlier had gotten to her. She did not see any reason for Yzak to hate her and on top of that (or most importantly) Heine had not even looked her way at all.
"That's Yzak you are talking about, does he need to have a reason for the things he does. You should probably consider yourself lucky he just glared at you, he could have started yelling." Cagalli told her. Yzak was well known for blowing up at random people for no apparent reason. The student body had gotten use to his fits. People figured out it was worse to yell back, so most just took it and went on with their day. Chalk it up to being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Usually nothing more.
Lacus did not say anything. She was looking past them at a figure that was getting closer. 'Kira! He looks so handsome.'
"Hello ladies. How are you this fine evening?" Kira asked. Lacus did not have a chance to answer before another voice called out.
"Kira! There you are. Wow, nice costume you look great!" declared Fllay. Kira's costume consisted of a tux and a mask that covered part of his face. Something caught Fllay's eye. It was Milly wearing the same costume as her.
"Sorry Milly but the costume looks better on me."
Milly glared at Fllay and then a smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Well it really is not to hard to understand why a devil costume would look better on you than me, but you do understand that you were suppose to dress up right, Fllay?" Milly was pretty sure she heard a few snickers at this comment. Fllay was not one of them though. She gave Milly an icy cold glare for her insinuation.
"Let's go Kira." she demanded.
"Kira!" came a desperate call from a person running towards them.
"Athrun? What's wrong?" Kira asked the out of breath man who had stopped in front of him.
Athrun took a moment to catch his breath before answering. "I need your help. Actually I need all of you to help."
"What? No way! Kira already promised to walk around with me this evening. Let's go Kira" Fllay harshly told them.
Kira gave Athrun an 'I'm sorry' look as Fllay started to pull him away. He had promised Fllay after all and he did not like to break his promises.
Athrun grabbed Kira's arm. "Kira please! I know you promised her and you will still have time to walk with her, but I really need your help right now. Someone destroyed the Haunted House. I don't know who, I don't know why. I don't even have time to worry about that right now. We have to get it fixed as soon as possible so we can open it."
The group looked at him shocked, except for Fllay, who just looked annoyed. She knew Athrun was Kira's best friend and after what he just said there was no way Kira would tell him no.
"Sorry Fllay, I'll go with you later. Athrun needs my help right now. He worked really hard to make this festival great for everyone and I am not going to let him down now by saying no." Kira told her and then took off running with Athrun in the direction of the haunted house. They were followed by Lacus, Cagalli, and Milly.
"If Lacus goes and helps and I don't then she'll use the time and try to steal Kira from me."
"Huh? Lacus is going to try to steal Kira from you? What are you talking about Fllay?" asked Mia who had just arrived.
"I'll explain on the way. Let's go" Fllay grabbed Mia and took off running.
"Where are we going? Why do I have to go?"
"Because Athrun is going to be there." Fllay stated knowing her friend would not ask any more questions with this information.
Heine arrived at the hallway with his friends in tow. A quick glance around told them the situation was not good. Athrun had sent for Heine because he was student council president and dealing with chaos was not new to him.
"Let's get to work. We have to get this placed fixed ASAP." Heine told his friends who nodded in response then proceed to get to work.
"Where is Athrun? Does he know about this?" Heine asked the young man who had brought him here.
"Yes. I showed him first. He told me to get you and then went to find help himself."
A couple of minutes later Athrun and crew came running in. They immediately got to work rebuilding the haunted house. With all the help they now had it only took about 25 minutes to get the haunted house repaired enough to open.
Luna and Rey had been walking around for over an hour. They had been all over the school and Luna still had not seen Shinn. 'Where could he be?'
"Why don't we go get something to drink. Maybe Shinn is where the food is, you know how he eats." Rey said surprising Luna.
"What are you saying? I'm not looking for Shinn." Luna had not told anyone except Mia and Fllay she liked Shinn, so she did not understand why Rey would think she was looking for him.
"Shinn told me you asked him to go with you tonight. It is pretty obvious you are looking for someone. I just two and two together." Rey told her.
'Why does he always have to do that?' Luna wondered.
Luna and Rey went off towards the classrooms that were selling drinks. They were almost there when she caught sight of the one she was looking for. There was Shinn with his sister, Mayu. Luna was not really sure what Shinn was suppose to be but it looked like a werewolf. Luna looked around Shinn but she did not see Stellar anywhere.
'Great, I can talk to him without her around.' Luna started walking towards Shinn when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked around to see her sister and Auel Neider standing there.
"Did you really have to ignore me?" Meyrin asked her older sister. "Did I do something to make you mad?"
"What? No, I was not ignoring you." Luna did not quite get why her sister was saying that.
"You didn't answer and I just called you like five times."
"Oh, sorry I didn't hear you. What is it?"
"Have you seen Athrun?" Meyrin asked her quietly.
Luna looked at her sister puzzled, why would Meyrin be looking for Athrun? 'Does she like him? Mia likes him, and I think Mia and Athrun would be a good couple. Mia has also like him for a long time. What should I do?'
"Why are you looking for Athrun?"
"Oh, no reason really." Meyrin said blushing.
"You like him don't you?"
"Wh-What I didn't say that." Meyrin's face was getting redder by the minute. There was no doubt in Luna's mind that her sister did indeed like Athrun.
"You know he agreed to walk with Mia tonight, don't you?" she asked Meyrin.
"Mia? Why would he walk with her?" Meyrin asked with a hint of disgust in her voice. "Mia is not right for him. She does not deserve to be by his side." she stated quieter like she was trying to keep Luna from hearing her. Luna did hear her though.
'Meyrin is jealous of Mia.' Luna thought. "I disagree. I think they are perfect for each other."
At this Meyrin shot her an angry look. "How could you say that. I'm your sister, not her. She is just your stupid friend. You should be pulling for me, not her." Meyrin almost yelled and ran off followed by Auel.
'She's too mad to even try to talk to right now. I will try later.' Luna looked back to where she had last seen Shinn, but he was no longer there. She looked around but did not see him anywhere. 'Great, now I can't find him again.'
"Rey did you see where Shinn went?" she asked still looking around. "Rey?" 'Now I've lost Rey too.'
"Good evening Mr. Dullindal, Miss. Gladys. The festival turned out great, wouldn't you agree?" Rey had left Luna when she started talking to her sister. He was not trying to be mean by ditching her or anything. He had seen Gil and really wanted to speak to him.
"Hello Rey. Yes it turned out great. Where is your costume?" Gil asked him.
"I decided not to wear one this year." Rey answered, staring at Gil.
"I believe you didn't wear one last year either, right?" asked Talia.
"That's right. I don't really care for costumes." he told her his eyes never leaving Gil.
It was known that Talia and Gil were dating, they were both teachers so it was not a big deal. Even still, Rey had feelings for Gil. He had known Gil since he was little. Gil was the most important person to Rey, and Gil sometimes acted like Rey was special to him as well. Their past had to be kept secret so that Gil would not be accused of favoring Rey.
'What it is that I feel for you?' Rey thought as Gil and Talia excused themselves to go eat. 'Can you tell me, Gil?'
TBC
I know, I know. Meyrin was a little ooc in this chapter. I hope you enjoyed so please let me know.
A little info on chapter 5
Heine will make more of an appearance and is Dearka being serious? Is Meyrin really the way we saw her here? We need to hear more from Shinn. And last but not least, does Athrun really not have any plans for the day?
Do you like it with these teasers of sorts for the next chapter in here or should I just leave them out?
