The Heart Doesn't Lie
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny or most of the characters in this story. Also, I don't own the game Scrabble, well I might own a copy of it, but I don't own the copywrite or whatever. Nor do I own the song Emotion that Meer sings in the show. I am sorry if this chapter is a little shorter, and not very exciting, but there are things that must be done.
Notes to reviewers:
M- Thank you for reading and reviewing. Was Athrun serious when he was talking to Kira about the date? He was like half joking but he would not have minded, probably even been happy if that had been the case. (Since I have said this will be Asu/Kira, yes Kira is the other)
Yunih- Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully I won't be uploading slower, unless I keep have problems with my brain freezing up on me, in other words writer's block.
Darkmoon Fleur- Thank you and you are good. That's all I am going to say.
Kc-animegal- I have actually considered that about Shinn but haven't really decided yet. I did leave an option open for me to do with him as you will see in this chapter.
Infinite sky – I know, I thought this as well, but maybe for this story Kira makes more sense. I'm glad you like my story. It will be a few more chapters before you find out who angry eyes is.
Furin-a – yeah I guess their problems are love, but in a few chapters, say 21, they are going to have a different problem. That is the chapter things with angry eyes starts to play out. And this story will turn more serious. For a little while anyway.
And for anyone familiar with Kingdom Hearts, I used the Riku in Kingdom Hearts 2 as my model for Jet, because well, he's hot.
Chapter 17
Rusty and Sting decided to have lunch away from the rest of their friends today. They wanted to meet up with Luna and Fllay. They walked around the yard until they found the girls with Mia.
"Care if we join you?" Rusty asked. Before anyone had a chance to answer Sting sat down next to Fllay.
"What are you doing Friday night?" Sting asked Fllay.
"I don't know yet. There is a senior by the name of Craig that has been asking me out, I was thinking I might say yes."
"Craig? Craig who?" Sting asked getting slightly angry.
"Craig Jacobs."
"That guy? Why would you want to go out with him?"
"Why not? It's not like I am going out with anyone else and he is good looking."
"So go out with me instead. You will have more fun with me."
"Says you. Your idea of fun is destroying things. That is not my idea of fun."
"I won't destroy anything when you're with me, unless you want to. If you would like for our second date we can go out with Rusty and Luna here, a double date."
"Our second date? What about our first date?"
Sting smirked, "That would have been the party at the beach. You had fun that night didn't you?"
Fllay half glared at him, "Fine, but only if Luna and Rusty are going."
"How did I get dragged into this?" Luna asked.
"Ah, come on. Go on a date with me, the four of us, alright?" Rusty said smiling at her sweetly.
Luna looked surprised, she had never seen him smile like that. It was cute. "Alright, I'll go."
"Great." Rusty said.

Nicol and Mia sat in music class after lunch. Azreal had left the class as a self study for the day because he had an important meeting to get to. That was fine with the class, they were grateful to be able to get a break from the strange teacher.
Nicol and Mia sat at the piano in the other room off of the main class room. They were working on writing a song together. Mia had already written most of the lyrics to the song and Nicol had agreed to help with the music arrangement. The song was titled 'Emotion.' It was going to be faster than Nicol was use to, but he was up for the challenge of doing something different.
"Let's speed it up a little here." Mia said pointing to an area on the sheet in front of them.
Nicol made some adjustments and started playing the new part. "Like that?"
"Yes, that is better. I don't want this song to be slow like Lacus'."
"Is Lacus doing a song for the show as well?"
"I'm not sure, but knowing her probably." Mia told him.
The show they were talking about was an anniversary show the school would be putting on right before they left for break in December. It would be the schools 25th anniversary this year. Anyone could sign up to perform in it, so Mia had decided to participate.
"Well it is not a competition, so don't worry about if she will be singing too. Your song will be a different style than her's, I'm sure, since she always sings slow songs."
"I know, I just don't want to hear everyone say afterwards that her's was the best and that mine was no good." Mia said.
"I'm sure that won't happen. We will work hard to make this a great song." Nicol said, smiling at her.
Mia smiled back, "Yeah, you're right. Now let's get back to work."
"Yes, ma'am"

"Cagalli still hasn't talked to you?" Milly asked Lacus as they sat at Joe's after school.
"I haven't seen her since lunch." Lacus stated then took a bite of her peach pie.
"I saw her in government, she didn't say anything though. It looked like she had a lot on her mind." Milly said.
Lacus did not say anything to this. She had no idea what was going on with Cagalli. The three of them had been best friends for years and she had never said anything like that to either of them before. She did not get a chance to think on it long because the door opened and they were soon joined by a couple of their other friends.
"Hello ladies, how are you today?" Heine asked. He sat down in the seat opposite Milly and smiled at her. Miguel sat down in the other open seat at the table.
"We are fine, and you?" Lacus answered.
"Just great." Heine said.
"Cagalli is not with the two of you today?" Miguel asked.
"Ah, no we had a little bit of a fight earlier and we haven't spoken since." Lacus said.
"A fight? I didn't think you three had fights." Miguel said.
"We don't usually, but probably everybody does every once in a while." Milly said.
"Is everything going to be alright?" Heine asked, concerned.
"I'm sure it will be, we just need a little time to cool off, so does Cagalli." Lacus said. She was tempted to ask Miguel about his relationship with Cagalli, but thought better of it. That would probably just upset her friend again.
"So Milly, how are you doing?" Heine asked her.
"I'm fine, why do you ask?" Milly was unsure about his question since he had already asked how the girls were doing.
"Because of Dearka and Yzak, I mean. Dearka and you were getting closer, he even told you he liked you. And now he is with Yzak."
"I'm fine with that, we were only friends. It's good that he can be with someone that feels the same way he does." Milly said. She wasn't hurt about what had happened. She only saw Dearka as a friend, nothing more. She was glad that it happened before she had a chance to maybe develop feelings for him.
"Miguel, I heard about your car. Any ideas who did it yet." Lacus said.
Miguel looked up and Lacus saw a quick flash of anger in his eyes. "Not really, we think it may be the same person who was messing with Athrun, but we didn't get a chance to talk to him today."
"We thought he would meet us at lunch to talk about it, but he never showed." Heine said.
"He didn't show at our usual spot either, we were there and we didn't see him all lunch." Milly said.
"Hmm... I wonder where he was." Heine said. The others just looked at him and shrugged.

Yzak sat on the bleachers outside after school watching his boyfriend playing soccer. Dearka plays as a fullback on the team. Also on the team are Jet as goalie, Rusty as center, and Sting as a forward. There would be a game on Saturday and the team was having practices longer than normal this week.
Yzak glanced down at his watch and sighed when he realized there was still 30 minutes of practice left. He was hungry and wanted to leave, but not without Dearka.
"Think they'll win on Saturday?" came a voice from behind him. Yzak looked up and saw Ari smiling at him.
"Of course, they have Dearka on the team. How could they lose?"
Ari giggled, "Not at all bias are we?"
"No, not at all." Yzak said and smirked. Sure he was bias, weren't most people of their loved ones.
"I'm glad that things worked out between the two of you." she said, smiling at him.
"Ari, thanks for what you did that night." Yzak said, turning back to face the field. Thank you wasn't something he was good at saying, but he felt he should think her. It had been because of her that he had finally figured out his feelings, and that he didn't leave the party completely after his confession.
"You're welcome." Ari said and looked back to the field.
"What are you doing down here anyway?" Yzak asked her.
Ari shrugged slightly, "There is someone on the team that has peaked my interest. And before you ask, I'm not telling you who, and I didn't say I liked the person."
Yzak looked at her trying to figure out what she was talking about. He shrugged and turned back to watching the practice, or actually Dearka, decided to give up trying to figure Ari out.

"That is not how you spell omnipotent, Auel." Meyrin said as she looked down at the board where Auel had spelled the word omnepotent. They were at Meyrin's house playing Scrabble. Stellar was suppose to call later and they both wanted to be there when she did. But they were bored, so Scrabble it was.
"Of course it is." Auel said.
"No it isn't, look it up. It is spelled o-m-n-i-p-o-t-e-n-t. You put an e in instead of an i."
"Picky, picky. Alright I'll pick my letters back up."
"Well you have to spell the words right or it doesn't count." Meyrin said.
Auel picked the letters he had placed down up and before they could continue the phone rang. Meyrin grabbed the phone that she had brought in the room with them earlier.
"Hello!"
"Hey, Mey. How's it going?" Stellar asked. Meyrin smiled big and Auel knew who it was on the phone.
"Alright I guess, but we miss you already. How is everything there? Have you started your new school yet?"
"I miss you guys too. Everything is okay. Yeah, I started school today. It felt weird not having you with me all day. I guess it will take a while to get use too."
"Yeah, same here. Did you make any new friends yet?"
"I met a few people, Crot, Shani, and Orga, they seemed okay. A little weird though, but okay. Maybe I will become friends with them. They won't be able to replace you and Auel though."
"I'm glad you met some new people, just don't forget about us." Meyrin said a little sad.
"Of course not Mey. That is not possible."
"Stellar, you didn't tell me why you ended things with Shinn. I thought you two agreed that a long distance relationship would be okay." Meyrin asked.
"We did. It is just that I know he also likes someone else, I just want him to figure out his feelings. If we are going to be together then I want to be the only one he feels that way for."
"Oh, so there is a chance you might get back together?"
"Yeah, maybe. That depends on him. I would like that, if I can be the only one." Stellar said.
The girls stayed on the phone a while longer and then Auel talked to Stellar. Meyrin felt bad that she had encouraged Auel when she did not know the whole situation. She did not want him to get hurt because of what she had said. Auel ended the call after they had talked to her for about an hour and a half. He looked at Meyrin and noticed she was looking at him with a guilty look on her face.
"I know, she still likes him. Don't worry Mey, you didn't do anything wrong." he said and smiled.
"I encouraged you."
"So, I don't see that as being wrong. Everything will be fine, wait and see." Auel said with the smile still on his face. Meyrin had no choice but to smile back and believe him.

"Man, I hate science. Rey help me with this please." Shinn said as he moved his book in front of his friend.
"No, that's easy. You just don't want to do it yourself." Rey told him, moving the book away from him.
"Ah, come on Rey. I asked nicely." Shinn said.
"You didn't ask, you told. And the answer is still no. Look it up, it is in the book."
Shinn glared at Rey and started to look through the book for the answer. He knew Rey would not change his mind. Shinn found the answer he was looking for a few minutes later, wrote it down and slammed the book closed.
"Done. Finally. Now I can play Gundam Battle Assault. I almost beat all of the story lines now." Shinn got up and turned on the game.
"Don't you have anything better to do than play that game. Like those things could ever exist. Giant robot like weapons piloted by people."
"That would be cool, I would love to pilot one. I would be an ace pilot. One of the elite."
"Right, and I am the Easter bunny. Shinn you would be a terrible pilot. And there is no way you would be an ace or an elite."
"Sure I would. I would be the star of the show and take down all the enemies. People would be in awe of my power and ability. They would say things like, 'I have never seen anything like that before' and 'Thanks to Shinn we are saved'."
"You have quite an imagination Shinn. Let me guess next you are going to say you would receive awards and special honors for being so good. And you would be given the best suit they have to give you." Rey said.
"Yep. Hey you could be a pilot with me, and get that stuff too." Shinn stated.
"I feel so lucky you are willing to share the spotlight with me." Rey said sarcastically.
"I said you could pilot, I'd still be the star of the show." Shinn said.
"I bet you would let Athrun co-star with you." Rey said, he could not help but tease Shinn.
"Sure, because he is star material." Shinn said playing along.
"And I'm not?" Rey said hurt.
"No way, you're just supporting character material. Maybe even a bad guy." Shinn said and started laughing.
Rey turned away growing tired of the conversation they were having, he also did not like what Shinn was saying. He could be the star, why did he have to be the bad guy or a supporting character? The way Shinn said it he would be the guy leading the other people down the wrong path, maybe with manipulation. Isn't that how it usually worked, make them think they were in the right, when they weren't. He would show Shinn he would redeem himself in the end.

Sorry there are a few chapters here that don't seem to have much point but are setting things up for later, that was the purpose. There was no real point to that last part with Shinn and Rey. Other than putting Rey back in the story, and I just couldn't seem to resist. It was just for fun and made me laugh when I was typing it.
I know this chapter wasn't very good, but hopefully I make up for that in the next chapter. And unless I change it the one after that as well. So, as always, please review and tell me what you think.
