Ch. 5 Remembering the Past
Cagalli came outside with Athrun.
"So, what are we doing today? And what's your name?" Cagalli asked.
"My name's Athrun Zala. I'm gonna take you to familiar places so you can remember."
Cagalli sighed and looked up at the trees.
Where am I gonna take her? The Archangel!
"Comon!" Athrun said as he grabbed her hand and ran to the Orb docks.
There it stood, the legendary Archangel class ship, the Archangel.
Athrun stood in wonder, thinking about all the memories still onboard that ship,
"What an ugly ship." Cagalli said.

"Comon Cagalli!" Athrun said taking her hand again and running with her to the other side of town.
"Athrun? Where are you taking me?" Cagalli said as Athrun kept pulling her ahead.

Her father, The EAF attacking Orb, The Kusenagi, The Archangel, The Eternal, Kira, Lacus, Jachin Due, Strike Rouge, the engagement ring, Athrun.
She collapsed on her knees and sobbed.
Athrun was relieved she remembered. It worked. He looked at the memorial for Cagalli's father and payed his respects and thanks.
"Cagalli?"
"Athrun…" Cagalli said as she embraced him.
"I came back…" Athrun said as his eyes watered in joy.
"I have always been waiting for you…you have always been in my heart…"
They kissed, and they walked up to the memorial.
"I really have, I really have been, waiting for you. And you came back…"
