Cagalli stayed in her room after Lacus made her try on the dress. She walked up to the mirror across from her bed. She sat in the chair and looked at herself in the mirror. She sighed and remembered what Athrun had said to her last night. "He still loves me, but all I show him is hatred." Cagalli looked back at her dress laid neatly on her bed. She starred at the dress for a while and thought.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door "Hey Cagalli can I come in?" A familiar voice said.
"Yeah come in Kira" She said and went to sit on her bed again.
He opened the door and entered the room "So...You are going to the wedding right?"
'No duh, I have too Lacus is forcing me" Cagalli sighed and looked down at the ground, while hugging her knees, she didn't want to look at Kira.
"You still love Athrun, don't you?"
"Why would you say that, you saw what happened I don't love him anymore" Cagalli looked up at Kira with disgust at the mentioning of Athrun's name. But deep inside her, she still did.
Kira went up to her and sat beside her trying to comfort her. "Cagalli, I know deep down that you still love him, you're hopeless without him, right?" He whispered in her ear and waited for her answer.
"Fine, I admit it I still love him but he's getting married to Meer, there isn't any point of loving him if he's already getting married."
"Yes there is Cagalli, he might be getting married but you never know he might still love you." Kira said in his calmest, nicest, voice. He already new that Athrun still loved Cagalli, and what Lacus was planning.
Flashback...
"Kira I have a plan" Lacus said with a grin
"A plan?" Kira said, becoming nervous because of Lacus's grin.
"Yeah, I'll tell you"
"Umm..ok"
"Ok, so I bought Cagalli a wedding dress. I know that she doesn't want to go to the wedding, but I will force her. Once we get to the wedding people will see Cagalli with the wedding dress on, and they will think that she is the one getting married. Athrun will see and he will confess his love for her. She will confess her love for him and they will live happily ever after." Lacus said with a little giggle.
"Lacus...that's way to imaginative ..." Kira said with a little hint of concern in his tone.
"Well, do you have a better plan?"
Kira thought for a moment and then spoke, "well...the plan is a good plan, but the part where she has to wear the wedding dress, might be a little to over board. Plus, how will Athrun confess his love for her when, he already did, and also how do you know Athrun will actually do this? He might not even do that and just go on with the marriage and we are not even sure if Cagalli still loves him, you saw what happened at the ball last night" Kira said while panicking, Lacus's plan will surely not work, he thought to himself.
"Okay..maybe we'll keep the wedding dress part out..." Lacus paused for a moment and then continued, "and Kira that's where you come in, you will ask Cagalli if she still loves Athrun tonight and if she does, we'll go from there. I'll tell Athrun about the plan tonight on the phone while you and Cagalli are talking. After all we know that Athrun still loves her. Even if Athrun is smart he doesn't know about one of the rules. If the man who is being forced to get engaged with the women, he can cancel it if he wants. I don't think anyone ever told him, maybe because his father doesn't want him to know. To me I think that is really stupid" Lacus said finally taking a breath but sighing.
"O ok...But Lacus what if, what if.."
"But what if what? Don't worry Kira"
"Ok, I guess.." Kira still wasn't sure with this plan.
End of flash back...
Kira stood up again and went to the door "Cagalli just follow your heart and you'll know what to do" Kira then shut the door.
"Follow my heart? What kind of stupid advice is that, by the time I tell Athrun, he'll already have a child. Ahhh dammit this stuff is so hard. But on the other hand, I could confess to him at the wedding. Maybe I should." Then she put one hand to her heart "follow my heart" she mumbled and fell back on her bad. She fell asleep afterward.
Authors note: Ok we are skipping to the wedding. Sorry for the interruption. Ok now back to the story.
The day of the wedding...
Everyone was ready; Lacus had to force Cagalli in her dress and was now pulling her to the car. Kira was in the front already to drive, while Lacus and Cagalli got in. The children were going to the wedding as well but they were coming later, at the party. They were getting babysitted by Kira's foster mom. When everyone was ready Kira turned on the engine and they went off.
Cagalli had her arm on the armrest and was starring out at the window. She was thinking about how she was going to confess to Athrun that she loved him. Lacus looked back at Cagalli and knew that she was thinking of telling Athrun that she loved him. Kira saw in the rear mirror that Cagallli was deep in thought as well, he just smiled and kept and eye on his driving.
They finally reached there destination, which was the church. The wedding had already started when Lacus, Kira and Cagalli stepped in the church. Everyone had noticed looked at them and Cagalli noticed all of the stares and she just gave them all a stop-starring-or-I-will-kill-you glare. They all turned back to focusing on something else. The couple and the blond finally found a seat, it was in the back near the entrance. Athrun noticed her and was thinking about what Lacus had told him. He had his own plan of telling Cagalli. Lacus and Kira on the other hand were woundering if Athrun was really going on with this plan. If he was he should tell her now or it would be to late.
(It's just too little too late, too little too long...Ok sorry I was thinking of that song. Ok back to the story lol)
After a few minutes the door opened and there stood a pink-haired girl in a wedding dress. It was white, and poofy. It went down past her ankles. Two little girls were in the back holding on the ends. A flower girl was throwing flowers up in the air and there was a boy which would be the ring barer. A man who looked old was walking the bride down the exile. She smiled, and Athrun just starred in disgust, but still smiling so that no one noticed. Once the bride reached there, she grabbed Athrun's hand.
The preist started to say the words "Do you Meer Campbell; take Athrun Zala as your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, through good and bad situations, to protect and love till death?"
"I do" she answered in a excited annoying voice. She looked at Athrun and winked at him. Athrun just ignored it.
"Do you Athrun Zala; take Meer Campbell as your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold through good and bad situations, to protect and love till death?" The preist looked at Athrun. The whole church was deadly silent and a drop of sweat went down his neck. Was this over? Over for him and Cagalli?
"I...I..I" He started stammering "I do..not" Athrun finally stopped stammering "I do not take Meer Campbell, I infact do not even love her. But I love someone else, someone more beautiful, more fun, and I will love her till death. I love Cagalli Yula Attha" He let go of Meer's hand and turned around searching the crowd for Cagalli.
Everyone gasped at what had just happend in front of them. But the two people that were most surprised were Meer and Cagalli. Kira and Lacus were smileing "Looks like your plan did work Lacus" Kira looked at her.
"What you didn't beleive me" Lacus said with a frown.
"I didn't but I do now"
"Ya just because you saw it in front of you eyes"
"Well..ya" Kira started to frown
"Kira, I love you" Lacus started to giggle
"Huh? Lacus...I love you" Kira blushed and then quickly turned his head facing the front again. He saw Athrun approaching Cagalli.
Cagalli was too surprised too move, he had said he loved her in front of everyone. Athrun was approaching her. Inside she was panicking, her heart pounding against her chest like crazy. Athrun finally reached her. "Cagalli Yula Attha-" he said taking her hand in his "Do you love me?"
Cagalli looked up at his emerald eyes "Athrun I.." Tears started forming in her eyes again "I...Do love you" she then stood up and put her arms around him. He had just realized what she had just said and put his hands around her waist hugging her. He was gratefull that she still had loved him.
Meer saw everything and ran out crying. Athrun didn't care as long as he had Cagalli. Everyone in the crowd cheered. Cagalli pulled away from Athrun, but once she did, he pulled her back making there lips touch. They both felt like they were in heaven once again. Athrun explored Cagalli's mouth with his tongue, it tasted sweet. Cagalli was still crying, but crying with tears of joy. They both finally pulled back taking breathes. "Athrun I missed you so much, to tell you the truth I was hopeless without you"
"Really?" he said with a grin on his face.
"No"
"What?!" now Athrun was really shocked
"I'm just kidding silly, you're so gullible sometimes" Cagalli said with a giggle.
"But that's why you love me" Athrun said and kissed her again "O by the way here" he pulled out the locket Cagalli had threw at him and put it around her neck. Then they walked over to the others. The music was already turned on and everyone was dancing. Only a few people remained on the side lines chatting.
"So I see, your back together" Lacus said while dancing with Cagalli.
"Yeah I'm so happy" Cagalli said smiling and watching Kira and Athrun talk
"I'm so glad Cagalli" and they kept on dancing the whole night, of course the boys joined too.
-Chapter 6. Ok so you all know the plan that Lacus had planed lol and Athrun confessed his love for Cagalli too . I'll give you a little preview of the next chapter.
"ATHRUN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MARRY MEER!"
"But father, the rules also say that I can cancel the marriage if I don't love the girl"
"How do you propose to someone?" Athrun asked Kira in a panicking tone.
Athrun paced back and fourth panicking "Calm down Athrun, just calm down" he mumbled to himself.
"Athrun calm down it's just a girl, and by the way...STOP PACING YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A HOLE IN MY CARPET!" Yzak yelled in a very tempered voice.
"Yeah Athrun you just need to calm down" Dearka said trying to calm down the both of them.
