DISCLAIMER: Go and eat a fucking sock! I dont own it.
She had a smirk on her face as she watched him scrub the floor. She was actually very proud of him, even though the brutality of her punishment was extreamly harsh. Although he still kept a glint in his eye, and a smile on his face. He kept working at the impossible speck that lay before him and thought of his happiness. The happiness that he would get in two days.
Yes Athrun lost, but Cagalli lost as well. In a one word summary, people who speak english would call it a tie. And that's what happened. Athrun and Cagalli tied.
"Cagalli?" Athrun tiredly asked.
"Mm-hmm?" She replied as she proped her feet up on top of the boxes of oranges.
"Is this what you do everyday?"
"----" She looked the other way.
"You just like to see me like this don't you?"
She smiled one of her unique smiles at him, making butterflies in his stomach.
"I'm just doing this for the pleasure of torture. I don't really do this stuff much anyways, but you should be thankful. This could help for our date on Sunday..."
Athrun smirked, "I almost thought you already forgot the other half of the deal. Well that's good that you remembered it. I hope you'll be all dressed up..."
Cagalli snapped back, "Are you saying that I don't dress decently?"
"NOOO!" He said in fear as he raised his hands, "I was just going to tell you that I wanted to take you somewhere special..."
She calmed down and looked at him funny. He just laughed at her.
"But, if you don't wanna go anywhere special then we'd just hang out at my place and play video games and watch movies in my room..."
"Could we just do that instead?"
"Yeah, we could..." He stopped wiping the floor and looked at her, "but there's no couch, we'd have to sit on the bed...or lie in it with me if you want..."
Her eyes widened, "Touch me without warning and I'll punch you three miles out of your own house. And believe me, if you're mother questionned me, she'd be on my side."
He went back to wiping the floor, "Fine...we'll do it your way...but we're on a date for goodness sake! Would you at least let me kiss you on the cheek?"
She rolled her eyes, "The last time you did that, shivers went down my spine..."
He looked at her, face upward towards the ceiling. He was about to ask her to repeat what she had said a few seconds ago, but that would totally ruin the whole moment. Plus, he understood loud and clear. I'm so glad that I have that effect on you... he thought in his mind, as she found him now staring at her. Making her blush.
"What?" both eyes met.
"Oh! Was I staring at you? Um I was just actually going to look at the fish..." he lied.
"Just keep scrubbing."
He sarcastically scowled at her,
"Yes ma'm."
"YOU WHAT?" Kira blasted at her.
Birds chirped happily in the sky. Tomorrow it was going to rain so it was their chance to enjoy the sunshine while it lasted. The trees were also in a more cheery mood as well, personificationaly speaking. They were swaying their branches gracefully from side to side.
"I agreed on a bet, and we tied. Now I have to go on a date with him..." Cagalli said as she took a bite out of her nectarine.
Lacus calmed Kira down. He was a bit frustrated at the fact that a guy asked Cagalli, his sister, on a date.
"Kira, just let your sister handle this. After all we aren't kids anymore."
He just stared at her, "You had something to do with this didn't you?"
"Nope. Kira, you know that Athrun's a pretty nice guy. I've known him for years, trust me, he won't do anything to Cagalli. Plus, she knows how to take care of herself." She said as she smoothed out her hair.
He sighed, "I hope you're right..."
Lacus looked evilly towards Cagalli as she slid a hanger from behind Kira's back. She knew exactly what it meant.
"NOOOOOO! GET AWAY FROM ME LACUS!" She screamed as she ran upstairs to her bedroom and locked it.
It was Satuday afternoon, and Lacus had not bothered to go to convince Cagalli to let her in until now. Time for her was running out. It would be while until they got the perfect set of clothes.
"C'mon Cagalli! It wouldn't hurt!" Lacus yelled as she banged on the door.
"YES IT WOULD!"
"Please, there's no other friend that I could dress up." she pleded.
"There's always Mir!"
"But she already knows how to dress up for Dearka! C'mon this is your first date! Just let me..please?" she whined.
"NOOO!"
"I'll give you three scoops of ice cream every day of next month..." she bargained.
"Why next month?"
"Because there's only a few weeks left until September is over. That wouldn't count as a whole month doncha think?"
"Do you promise not to make me too girly?"
"Will that help me to get in through that door?"
A small crack in the door showed the light in her room,
"Come in..."
They went through an array of clothing. Blue ones, pink ones, green ones, yellow ones, and white ones. Blue jeans, jogging pants, shorts, and I shall dare say it; skirts. Although it was really hard for Lacus to try and put one on Cagalli. It was almost nearly impossible.
Lacus sat crossed lagged on a comfy chair that was placed beside Cagalli's desk. She waited for Cagalli to come out of the washroom, when her cellphone rang.
"Hello, Lacus speaking..."
"Yeah Lacus? Its me Athrun...I need some help..."
"Is this about your date with Cagalli?"
"Yeah..wait how did you know?"
"She told us. Kira totally flipped out..."
"Ech...I'm really sorry if I freaked him out, its just that we made a deal..."
"Ok, so what do you want?"
"I need to pick out some clothes!"
"I'll send Kira over..."
Athrun had a scared expression on his face, "Uhh..."
"Don't worry I'll make sure that he won't hurt you."
"Thanks Lacus, you're the best!"
Just then the door opened. Cagalli was wearing a denim skirt which was about six to seven inches above her knees, she also wore a striped orange and gray shirt, which was under a beige sweater. SHe didn't wear high heels but rather long socks and running shoes.
Lacus squeeled, "OMIGOSH! This is perfect! Athrun's gonna flip when he see's you!"
Cagalli's face remained straight, "I'm sure he'll do a bellyflop."
"C'mon Cagalli, have a more positive look on this. Its your first date."
"Yeah well, I'm not supposed to go all out!"
Lacus rolled her eyes, "Well I think this is the outfit..."
Cagalli's face stoned, What if he doesn't like what I'm wearing?
For the rest of the day, Lacus rambled on and on as Cagalli tried to keep awake. The sound of the rain was soothing and she like the way how the gentle rain almost whispers to her. She loved rain, in fact she loved the water, it was always blue. Funny, because Athrun had always liked the sun...
Ok this was a short crappy chapter, but I had to write it quickly! I'm sorry! ... Next chapter will be Athrun and Cagalli's date, and I'm sure that its gonna be good. Ok? So yes I'm terribly sorry... SO? anyways did you like how things turned out? Dissapointed? Lol don't be, because Athrun gets the date, and Cagalli gets that slave... so...yes...
