"Mom, her name is Lacus Clyne, my classmate," Kira introduced their guest.
Lacus bowed down deeply before she fully introduced herself.
"Good Morning Mrs. Yamato, My name is Lacus Clyne. Its nice to meet you."
"Oh my, what a charming young lady you bought here Kira! Not to mention that she's very polite too. I approve!" Kira's dad suddenly said.
The last sentece caused Kira to choked.
"What do you mean by 'I approve' Dad?"
"What do you mean Kira? Didn't you bought her here to introduce her as your girlfriend?"
"DAD! Its nothing like that!" Kira defended himself while blushing.
"Oh my! Our little boy has grown up honey!" This time, it was Kira's mom who spoked.
"I second the mention," Cagalli snickered.
Amongst the confusion, Lacus moved a little closer to Cagalli.
"What's a girlfriend?" she asked.
"Oh, that means you have a relationship, almost like you love each other with your whole heart," she explained.
"Oh," Lacus then, stood up. "Kira, am I not you girlfriend?" she asked suddenly. So sudden that it caught all of them offguard. Its like Lacus was asking an innocent question.
"WHAT?!"
"See honey? They're perfect for each other!"
"What are you talking about Lacus?" Kira asked confused at the same time, embarass.
"Ms. Cagalli said that a girlfriend means that you have a relationship with someone," she simply said, while putting her index finger at the base of her lips, wandering.
"CAGALLI! What are you thinking saying those words to Lacus?" Kira shouted.
"Oh my, Lacus, you are so innocent," Cagalli said, smacking her forehead.
"But..."
The Yamato couple laughed their hearts off.
"Listen Lacus, being a girlfriend means that you love someone, as in LOVE."
"Then, I am your girlfriend right?" Lacus asked, mystified and confused.
"LACUS!"
After the confusion and laughs, Kira began explaining to her mother and father about her business.
"What do you mean Honey? You don't have any parents?" Kira's mom asked Lacus, interested at Lacus' personality and life.
"Not at all, Mrs. Yamato, I have someone who takes good care of me, but He's always busy, and I don't want to disturb Him at all."
"What a good girl! Its a pity that you don't have any parents."
SILENCE
"So?" Kira asked, waiting for their answer.
"Of course, honey, we will sign your paper for you. A nice girl like you deserves a time of happiness and joy," they both said.
"Thank you Mr. And Mrs Yamato!" Lacus jumped and bowed.
"Thanks MOM!" Cagalli and Kira both were overwhelmed with joy.
Before they leave, the Yamato couples and Cagalli were having a conversation.
"You know, its too bad Kira like someone else, Lacus would've been perfect as his girlfriend."
"True. I hope Kira choose carefully."
"But they're cute together, look at them." Kira's dad said pointing at the supposedly 'couple'.
"True."
"It'll be a shame not having someone as beautiful, caring and polite like Lacus Clyne as my future sister-in-law." Cagalli joked.
They laughed heartily together, on the other hand, Kira looked at them.
"I wonder what they're talking about..."
CAMP DAY
They arrived at the destined campsite safe. Well, if that's how you put it.
FLASHBACK
"What's happening?! Why are we stopping?"
The driver of the bus checked the engines.
"Uh-oh, it seems like we have some engine problems, sorry kids, but I think we might be late."
Groans, complaints and uneasiness circled the bus.
"Oh, boohoo!" the bus driver teased.
"What's the matter Kira?"
"Nothing. Its just that I thought we can arrived the campsite early, so that we can roam around. The bus seems to have some engine failure."
Lacus looked at Kira and the gang, some where sad and angry about what had happened, so she took off, went in the front of the bus and raised her hands.
Kira, predicted what will happen next, stopped her.
"Lacus, what do you thing your doing? Didn't I tell you never to use your magic in front of many people? Did you remember our talk?"
"I know Kira, its just that I can't bear seeing them dissappointed and sad. I want this trip to be very memorable and fun, so please, let me use my magic," she said, pleadingly, hands in a tight claps.
Kira sighed. Once her mind is made up, no one can stop her. He decided to cover up for her while she's doing her thing.
After some incantations, the engines began to start up. The driver looked at her curiously.
"Aahh... didn't I tell you that Lacus here is an expert when it comes to engine problems?" Kira laughed nervously while covering her up. After that Lacus fainted. (1)
Several problems came along the way, but all of them were solved by Lacus. Of course, everytime she did these, Kira needed to cover her up. Which is a difficult thing to do. He, sometimes, ended up being laughed up, suspicious or sometimes, spyed at.
END OF FLASHBACK
KIRA'S POV
Afternoon came when we arrived at our destination. Since its too late to roam around, the tour guide told us that we need to rest and reserve our energy for the next day, traversing. I set up the campfire with the help of Athrun. Everything went well until Flay came.
She was crying. Mirialla went up to her and comfort her, convincing her to tell us what happened. Somehow, I got a strange feeling that she and Sai had a fight. Sai love her, even before they got engaged, and treated her like his wife already. Their relationship is perfect, but the situation made me think otherwise.
Suddenly, I heard Sai's voice. He called out Flay.
"Flay! Come'on Flay! We can talk this over! I know we can!" Sai said.
"Shut up! Don't come near me!" she shouted. Sai was coming towards her until she hid behind me.
"Flay? What's wrong with you? You seemed. . . different for these past few days!" Sai asked.
"Shut up! I said shut up! You know what? I realized one thing; you don't know anything about me!" she shouted.
Sai was taken back. "What do you mean Flay? I know you better than anyone else! What are you saying?"
Flay kept hidden behind me.
"No you don't! Your just my fiance! You don't know anything about me!"
"What are you talking about Flay?! What's wrong with you?"
3rd Person's POV
Everyone in the group is now confused. What happened to them is still a question in their mind. But it seemed clear to them that indeed, Flay is acting strange for these past few days. Athrun once caught Flay sending glares to Cagalli and Lacus. Also, she's always craving for attention, mostly from Sai and Kira.
"You know what?! I bet your friend Kira here makes a much more better boyfriend than you are!" she suddenly said. Everybody gasped, shocked on what they heard.
Sai's face was priceless.
"Wait! What do you mean by that? he asked. "Does that mean...?"
"Yes!" Flay suddenly said. "Kira and I are dating for almost a month now, right Kira?"
That caught Kira offguard.
"What do you mean Flay?" Kira is now confuse. How come he's involve with this? To be honest, Kira did like Flay, but not to the point that he'll take Flay away from his friend.
But bit by bit, his feelings for Flay vanished since he came to know the mysterious pink-haired girl everyday. The situation and how Flay's acting completely made Kira lose his feelings for her.
"Kira? Is this true?" Sai asked, unbelievably.
"Wait Sai, let me explain," Opppsss, to late, Sai already punched Kira. "How dare you take my girl away from me!" he shouted. Kira can't retaliate since he doesn't have the guts to do so, punching him in return only proves that he is really taking the girl away from him.
The rest of the gang tried to stop the ruckus. Athrun holding Kira while Tolle making Sai calm down. "Guys, stop it!"
In the midst of this, Flay already flew away from the scene, that is, until Cagalli and Mirialla stopped her.
"What was that all about?" Cagalli asked fuming.
"What do you mean?" she replied, snobbishly.
"Flay, what Cagalli means is that why the sudden action? What's your purpose in lying?" Mirialla calmly asked.
"That's none of your business! Now go away you two sick-os!"
"Why you...!" Cagalli suddenly attacked Flay. "Are you planning to use my brother?"
"So what if I do?" Flay said, struggling. They were rolling on the grass while fighting. Mirialla, who was just standing there, decided to call their adviser and tell them what was going on.
"Fuck off!" she said.
"No, you get off!"
"Your sick!"
"No, you are!"
"I can't believe Kira would fall for a pain in the ass like you!"
"What do you mean?" Flay asked.
"Kira liked you before, but I seriously doubt that after what happened! I thought I can trust you! Turns out, your nothing but a spoiled brat!"
They continue fighting, pulling one's hair, throwing punches and sorts of violence. That stopped as soon as Ms. Murrue, together with Mwu came in.
"Girls! Stop that!" she said, trying to separate one from another.
As soon as things cooled down, Murrue finally asked what as the fight all about.
"That bitchy student of yours used Kira as an instrument to test her relationship with Sai!"
"I did not!"
"Oh, goody, now she evolved as a liar!"
"Ms. Allster, is that true?" Murrue asked.
"Wow, two girls fighting for Kira? That sure is heaven," Mwu suddenly said, causing everyone's attention to fall for him. "What?" he asked. (2)
"What the hell are you saying? Kira is my twin brother!" Cagalli shouted.
"Mr. La Flaga, we don't tolerate that kind of behavior," Murrue snapped.
"Oh, right," he grinned sheepishly.
Flay, suddenly left the scene, crying.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She stopped by in the peaceful clearing. Suddenly, Lacus appeared out of nowhere, and offered Flay a cup of tea.
"Ms. Allster, what's wrong?" she asked worrily.
"Why?! Why must I feel this way?! I'm so confused!"
"Ms. Allster, calm down."
"Be quiet you goody goody girl! You don't know anything!" Flay said, as she slapped away the cup of tea given to her by Lacus Clyne.
"Ms. Allster," Lacus replied. "I doubt that I don't know anything," she continued.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I may not know what happened exactly, but I can feel the pain in your heart," she said, while touching her left chest, where the heart is located. "I know that your suffering right now, because of the pain you feel in your heart," she smiled.
"All I'm going to say is, listen to your heart. Someday, you'll be able to realize who you really love, and that someone will make your life magical and enchantful. I know that right now, your confused. You tried to use Mr. Yamato as your subject to test how strong your relationship with Sai is right?" she asked.
"I just don't know what to do anymore! I admit that I like Kira but my love for Sai is also priceless! I'm so confuse!"
"So, that's the reason why you caused all of the commotion?" she asked.
"Yes!" she finally confessed. "I want to see who loves me most!"
Lacus frowned. "Ms. Allster, you do know that what you did was wrong right? Everyone may be hurt from the emotional scar... scar that require so much time to heal than the physical. Yes, what you did was a selfish act, but still, like what I said before, listen to your heart, if you chose the wrong man to love, you'll end up being miserable and sad all your life. If finding the right man for you will take time, then you must prepare for it if your really willing to love," she said. "You must be really undergoing such tough time but I know that you can do it," she continued. "Your a passionate, young girl Ms. Allster, and I know that it won't take much more time to realize who you really love. Your a strong person and as far as I'm concern, no one will hesitate to love you over and over again even if that means hurting himslef," she explained.
With this, Flay broke down crying. She knew what Lacus said, but her words relieved her and somehow, healed the scar that was on her heart a long time ago.
I guess what they said was right, Lacus Clyne is really a majestic person.
"How did you know what to say?" Flay suddenly asked.
"I may not know how your suffering, but I can put myself in your situation," she smiled.
Flay cried again and again, she deeply regret what she has done. She hurt Sai, Kira and Cagalli too. She didn't know what to do.
"I'm sure they'll understand," Lacus said, its like she read Flay's mind. "True friends are there to forgive."
"Now, now," Lacus patted Flay's back. "Come, there's a hot choco in my tent, make yourself feel better," she smiled.
"Ah, another thing Lacus," Flay said.
"What is it?"
"Please don't call me Ms. Allster, call me Flay," she smiled, a true smile.
Now that's what I call, true friend.
"Im sorry Lacus," Flay apologized. "When I first met you, I thought your a good-for-nothing girl who just wants to ruin my life, but now, I realize why everyone loves you, its because of your friendly aura," she said.
"I know," she replied. "Now, let's go, shall we?"
"Un." Flay nodded her head.
And their friendship started from here on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN: whoa. . . that is so Lacus Clyne. . .
(1) Lacus fainted from over-usage of her power.
(2) LOL! I know Mwu has this playboy side of him.
SNEAK PEAK:
"Mr. Yamato!!!!"
With that, Lacus jumped and thus, revealing her white crytsalline wings much to the gang's astonishment.
"Who is she?"
