Flashback: On the Eternal
Kira was about to go into the first battle of another war against ZAFT. He started to head toward the hull, where his ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom was being held. As he was about to enter, he was confronted by a certain pink haired girl.
"Kira..."
Her eyes were filled with worry. The tears from her eyes floated away from her face. Kira reached out and put his hand on her face.
"Lacus...Don't get involved in this war."
Lacus' eyes widened at what Kira just said.
"I care for you too deeply. I don't know what I'd do if you were killed by ZAFT."
"Kira..."
Kira turned and saw something in Lacus' hand. She slowly opened her hand, revealing that it was a paper crane. She handed it to Kira.
"I'll try not to get involved...but promise me you'll come back, okay?"
Kira stared at her for a few seconds. He nodded. He leaned forward and planted his lips on Lacus'. She returned the kiss. After he broke the kiss, Kira left for battle, disappearing from the scene.
"Kira..."
End Flashback
7 years later
Lacus was staring at the sunset. Kira had not returned yet. Tears were flowing down her face. Her mind was on nothing but Kira. For some reason, she couldn't stop thinking about him. Lacus stared as the red sky soon turned dark blue. She sat down and looked at the shining stars.
"Kira, where are you? You promised me you'd come back."
She stared at a picture of her and Kira. She put it against her chest. Her beautiful sapphire eyes were replaced with tears. She went back inside of her house. When she went inside, Mister Pink jumped straight into her hands.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Oh Mister Pink. It seems just like yesterday when we took care of Kira here after his fight with Athrun."
FLASHBACK: Nine years ago...
Lacus was outside of her house, giving a lecture to her green Haro.
"Oh, why did you do that? You shouldn't do that, Mr. Green. If you do that again, then I won't play with you anymore."
All of a sudden, she saw Mister Pink bounce to where an unconscious Kira in bandages was.
"Mister Pink! You shouldn't do that over there..."
Pink kept on bouncing and landed on Kira's bed. Lacus picked the little pink ball up. After she picked him up, Kira slowly awakened. Lacus smiled, seeing that Kira was awake.
"Good Morning."
End Flashback
Lacus slowly layed on her bed. She released Mister Pink as her eyes were slowly closing. She tried to force a smile before she fell asleep, but it proved to be futile. Thinking about Kira made her worry about him even more. She couldn't get him off her mind. She has been like that since Kira went to war. Mister Pink jumped on the bed and tried to comfort Lacus.
"Kira be fine! Kira be fine!"
Lacus was happy that Mister Pink was on the positive side. But, she couldn't tell whether she should be on the positive side or the negative side. Then, her eyes fully closed.
That night, Lacus was dreaming. She was dreaming that she was watching Kira walk away from her. She started running after him, but as she got closer, he got farther.
"Kira! Don't go! Don't leave me all alone!"
Kira just kept on walking away. It was as if Lacus had not existed.
"I'm sorry...Lacus..."
Lacus' eyes widened. She woke up, screaming. Her screaming startled Mister Pink, which fell into the trashbin. Lacus went to the bin and picked up Mister Pink.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
"Sorry Mister Pink. I just...had a nightmare."
The next morning, Lacus was outside watering her plants. After watering them, she went to her mailbox and was shocked to find a letter from you-know-who. Smiling, she opened the letter and read it.
Dear Lacus,
I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you these past seven years. I miss you so much. I wish the war would end so we could be together again. Everyday, I think about you. And everynight, I dream about you.
The fight for freedom against ZAFT has not been easy. Shinn, Athrun, and everyone else has been doing their part in the war. We still haven't figured out what the new chairman and his army of coordinators are planning to do. The battles here are like hell on earth. The Archangel and the Eternal are in great shape. We've lost a few soldiers, and we won't forget them.
Just remember this: I will always love you.
Love, Kira
P.S. I still have the paper crane you gave me.
Lacus showed no sign of worry anymore, but was still concerned. She wanted to see Kira again. She went back inside and got dressed. When she got back out, she went into the city. Little did she know, she was being followed by two ZAFT soldiers without any guns. As she entered the city, she was knocked unconscious. The two ZAFT members brought the unconscious Lacus aboard their ship.
"Target found. Commencing with Operation: Kidnap Lacus.:
"Affirmative."
Hours later, Lacus awoke in a ZAFT jail cell. Her eyes widened as she saw where she was.
"Where am I?"
She soon recognized where she was being held.
"This is...a ZAFT spaceship!"
Almost forgetting, Lacus reached for Mister Pink.
"Mister Pink, can you here me?"
The pink little ball awoke.
"Lacus! Lacus!"
"Shh. I need you to sneak into an escape pod and head toward the Archangel. Tell Kira and Athrun that I'm being held captive by ZAFT. Can you do that?"
The little ball bounced out of the cell.
"Okay. Okay."
"Good luck."
The little Haro managed to open the door. It bounced passed a few soldiers, without being noticed. Soon, he found a room that had only one escape pod left.
When he entered it, he just pushed random buttons.
"Location please?"
"Archangel! Archangel!"
The escape pod launched, heading to the Archangel.
"Plan's going to work!"
Meanwhile, back at the ZAFT ship, Lacus was holding her knees to her face. Her face was soon drenched in tears. She started to cry uncontrollably.
"Kira...please rescue me."
Pink's escape pod soon reached the Archangel. Noticing the escape pod, Kira, Athrun, and Shinn went straight to where it was landing, along with everyone else. Murrue managed to open the door. Out came Mister Pink. Kira picked the pink ball up with a confused look on his face.
"Mister Pink? What are you doing here?"
"Lacus...hostage...ZAFT ship..."
Kira's eyes widened. Tears fell down from his face to the floor.
"No."
