Chapter 8- Moving to a new home
As Cagalli made her way to the canteen, she kept thinking about what Athrun had said. When stepped into the canteen, she could see Luna waving to her. Cagalli waved back and rushed to where they were sitting.
Luna, Mir and Lacus were sitting with Athrun, Kira, Shinn, Dearka and Yzak. As she sat down, Lacus said, " Cagalli, would you want to move over to our house?" Cagalli looked at Athrun, and Athrun just grinned.
Yzak then said, " You should mover over to their house. It's inconvenient for a girl to stay with four boys." Dearka said, " Yea, Yzak's right for the first time!" Yzak punched Dearka in the shoulder. The others just laughed.
Cagalli replied, " Okay, I will move over." Lacus smiled and said, " Mir, Luna and I are currently living in the house." Cagalli nodded her head. Shinn asked, " Kira, then can I move over to your house?"
Kira asked, " Shall we allow him to live in our house?" Everybody said in unison, " Of course!" Kira said, " Since everybody agreed, Shinn can move over." Cagalli told Lacus, " I will move over this Saturday. Prepare a room for me!"
Lacus smiled, and then turned to Athrun, " Athrun, have you found a partner?" Both Athrun and Cagalli blushed. The others looked from Athrun to Cagalli, and they knew the answer to Lacus's question.
After a few days…Kira shouted, " Cagalli, wake up!" Cagalli sat up in the bed and glared at Kira, " There is no need to shout in my ear! I am going to be deaf!" Kira grinned. Kira then said, " Have you packed everything? Today is Saturday!"
Cagalli yawned, " Of course I have. We are going later?" Kira hit Cagalli's head, " Of course!" Cagalli stood up and pushed Kira out of her bedroom. Kira said, " Be quick. 5 mins only!"
Cagalli mumbled, " Yea." She began brushing her teeth and changing into fresh clothes. She looked around the room to see if she had left out anything the previous night. She muttered, " All the things are in my luggage."
She dragged her luggage out of the room. Yzak said, " Good morning! You are later than us today!" Dearka laughed. Yzak commanded, " Stop laughing, Dearka! Go help the Princess!"
Dearka said, " Yes, sir!" He began rushing towards Cagalli. Cagalli shouted, " Get away from me! I can carry the luggage by myself!"
Cagalli dragged the luggage to the living room, and then she flopped onto the sofa. She looked around the house, " I will miss this house."
Kira said, " Have your breakfast, Cagalli." Cagalli dragged her feet to the dining table and sat down on a chair opposite Athrun. Athrun waved and winked at Cagalli.
Cagalli blushed when she saw Athrun winking at her. Yzak seemed to have noticed. He said, " What's the secret between Athrun and Cagalli? Anybody knows?" Athrun punched Yzak in the shoulder.
Kira said, " Stop that, Yzak! Cagalli, Athrun and I will bring you to Lacus's house. Yzak and Dearka will wait for Shinn's arrival." Cagalli nodded her head as her mouth was full of bread.
20 mins later…
Kira carried Cagalli's luggage down to his car. Meanwhile, Athrun and Cagalli walked behind Kira. Athrun said, " Cagalli, thanks for making me happy all this while." Cagalli gave Athrun a puzzled look.
Cagalli asked, " What did I do to make you happy?" Athrun smiled, " It's nothing." Cagalli's mind ran wildly, " Does he like me? If he does, what am I going to do? Do I like him?"
Athrun said, " Cagalli, you okay?" Cagalli snapped out of her thoughts and smiled, " I am fine." After walking a few more steps, they reached the ground floor. They saw Kira's car parked outside a bakery near their house.
Cagalli ran over and almost gave Kira a fright. Kira said, " I was wondering what took you so long!" Cagalli grinned. Cagalli hopped into the back seat and sat comfortably.
Kira and Athrun hopped into the front seat. Cagalli asked, " Where is Lacus's house?" Kira turned around, " You will know later." Suddenly, Kira's handphone rang. Kira immediately picked up the call.
It was Lacus calling Kira. They chatted for about ten minutes. Cagalli asked impatiently, " When are we setting off?" Kira snapped, " Shut up." They waited for a few more minutes. Kira finally hung up his handphone.
Kira said, " Cagalli, don't be so impatient next time. You must train your patience. Athrun is more patient than you." Athrun grinned. He took a box from his pocket and asked, " Cagalli, want some?"
Cagalli asked curiously, " What's that in the box?" Athrun laughed, " It's not poison, it is mint." Cagalli took the box and took one mint and popped it into her mouth. Athrun took the box back from her and popped one mint into his mouth.
Cagalli said, " This kind of mint is nice. What brand is that?" Athrun whispered, " Don't tell anybody. I made this mint." Cagalli gasped, " Really?" Kira laughed and said, " Don't lie, Athrun."
Athrun laughed and said, " Kira, you are my best friend! How can you betray me?" Kira said, " I just don't like you to bully my sister." Cagalli shouted, " Cut it out! Tell me."
Athrun said, " Ever heard of Impact? That's the brand." As Athrun spoke, smell of fresh mint came from his mouth. Cagalli took in the smell. Kira looked into the mirror and saw Cagalli breathing in and out.
Kira asked, " Cagalli, are you okay? You seemed to have an asthma attack." Cagalli immediately stopped what she was doing and snapped, " I don't have asthma."
Kira then asked, " Then, why are you breathing in and out?" Cagalli replied, " It's none of your business." Athrun reminded, " Kira, you passed Lacus's house."
Kira drove back and stopped in front of the gate of a big mansion. The gate opened automatically and Kira drove inside. Cagalli asked, " Lacus's house is so big! But not as big as mine!"
Athrun explained, " This house is the Clyne Mansion. Lacus Clyne is the famous singer in PLANT. She is also the daughter of Siegel Clyne."Cagalli said, " Wow, I have many famous friends." Athrun laughed, " You are a famous person too."
Cagalli sighed, " I will have to return to Orb one day." The car pulled to a halt. Athrun, Kira and Cagalli hopped out of the car. Lacus, Mir and Luna were outside the mansion to welcome Cagalli.
Athrun seemed very perturbed about Cagalli's last sentence. His thoughts ran wildly, " I like her! What will I do without her? I can't live without her! I must think of a way." Kira shouted.
Athrun immediately snapped out of his thoughts. He faced Kira, " Why are you shouting?" Kira pointed to the garden. A guy with black hair was walking towards them.
Both Athrun and Cagalli rubbed their eyes. It was Shinn walking towards them. Kira asked Lacus, " What's Shinn doing here?" Before Lacus could explain, Shinn said, " Hi! You may be wondering what I am doing here."
Kira asked, " Yea, we are! What are you doing here?" Shinn laughed, " The answer is so obvious!" Cagalli shouted, " What?! You are going to live here?"
Shinn shook his head, " No, my dear Princess. I give you five minutes to guess." Kira, Athrun and Cagalli racked their brains to find out the answer. Suddenly, Athrun shouted, " I know!"
Cagalli and Kira shook Athrun, " Quick! Tell the answer!" Athrun grinned, " Let's wait till the time is up."
