CHAPTER TRES!

As Cagalli was taken to the emergency room at a local hospital, Athurn sat in the hallway avoiding accusing glances from Federico. He knew that Federico would be telling his father about this the minute they get home, sooo, the plan now is; not to go home.

After what seemed to be forever, Cagalli was finally escorted out behind the curtained cubical, she seemed washed out standing underneath the fluorescent lighting. Her wrist was wrapped up in a very chunky cast; it looked like she was a woman with a bionic hand. Cagalli looked really thin and frail, definitely not the girl who had been screaming at him half an hour ago. He got up and walked to her, wanting to ask her if she was alright; just as he was going to touch her cast and pop the question, a brunette boy barged in between them.

"Get your hands away from her!" He yelled at Athurn, while proceeding to push him as far away as possible from Cagalli. Whatever intentions the boy had meant to do, it worked; Athurn lost his footing as fell backwards flailing… right into a nurse who was carrying a half full- chamber pot. After that all hell was let loose; Athurn jumped on the other boy while throwing wild punches around, the brunette wasn't a loser either, he managed to flip Athurn to the ground and at the same time jumping on him and trying to beat the lights out of him.

Now this all might seem very violent in words, but Cagalli thought it was actually a pretty funny scene. The new boy was her twin brother Kira; he had always been a bit over-protective of her because they never really knew their biological parents, so Kira was basically a father figure to her. Kira had always gotten into little scraps with boys when they were little, and Cagalli hated it. She was a bit of a tom-boy herself, and she liked to fight her own battles. There's nothing more satisfying than give an arrogant boy a galaxy of a wedgie than laughing at his after he runs away to find comfort in his mommy.

Suddenly her walk down memory lane was interrupted by someone calling her name, she banished away her thoughts, she looked for the owner of the voice, but she didn't have to look far. Two pairs of eyes were looking right at her, Kira and Athurn had stopped fighting long enough to ask her of her opinion. Oh god, they're asking me to choose between them, how am I going to do that? If I pick Athurn, than Kira… oh gosh he's never going to stop giving me hell for the next few days, or maybe even decades. Oh well, better make this fast.

"Wow, I'm awfully tired, Kira let's go home, I have things to do."

"Really? Like what? Go feed your parakeet named 'Spot'?" Kira asked as he remembered the lame excuse that his sister had used in the eighth grade when another boy had asked her out on a date. Cagalli has always had trouble with guys asking her out on dates, and she also had trouble making up excuses for turning them down. "Or maybe you're lizard is in a coma?"

Cagalli's face slowly flushed red as Kira told the whole hospital the embarrassing excuses she used in the eighth grade. She was never good at turning guys down, and the terrible memories are always a topic of humiliation for over the past 4 years.

"Argh, shut up Kira, you're so juvenile!" she screamed at Kira and flounced out the door. The exit would have been more perfect if she didn't trip over the hedge, and banging her cast on the door. Leaving Kira, Athurn, and Federico and the rest of the hospital patients all blinking questionably in unison.

(The hospital park)

"Stupid Kira, Stupid Athurn, STUPID STUPID PARAKEET!" Cagalli screamed out every single last word in her sentence. She also started to vent her frustrations by chucking rocks into the pond, upsetting the ducks that proceeded to quack very angrily at her.

As she was huffing and puffing, she heard set crunching footsteps behind her. Veering to see who it was, half expecting Kira or Athurn, but instead, Federico stood in her wake.

Is that Federico?

"Soooo, you like my young master?"

Taken somewhat aback by the bluntness of the question, she fumbled for a question and gave a stuttering delivery. "Ermm, I guess I might have a tiny crush on him?"

"Wait, so you're saying that you've developed a crush? The old man rebutted quickly "puh-LEASE, at this time in the society, no one crushes anymore, it's all about hooking up with the most it person. I'm fairly sure that my young master had his fair share of hook ups himself. Pfft, crushes, how blasé? Who crushes anymore?"

Wow, straight hatin'

Cagalli feels herself stiffen "Apparently I DO!" she stood up, wanting to give the old skeleton a piece of her mind, when she saw the person behind him. That person's eyes widened when he heard Cagalli's last sentence, and his lips started to pull down into a little frown.

"Kira… what are you doing here?"

Obviously ignoring his sister, he walked up to Federico, sizing him up and down. "How dare you talk you my sister like that you son of a b-mmphssmmmm!!" before he started to swear like a sailor, Cagalli ran to him and covered his mouth. Eyes widen, Kira started to flail his arms, trying to free himself from his sister's vise -like grip.

"Ermm, Federico? I think it's a good idea if you left right now" Cagalli managed to squeeze out the sentence as politely as possible. The old driver obviously was shaken up by the aggressiveness displayed by the teenage boy. It was a big contrast from his well mannered master.

Finally breaking free of Cagalli's grip, he started to yell at her, "Why did you let him get away? Why did you let him talk you like that? Is it because he's Athurn's chauffer? Or are you afraid that this might get back to his young mahs-tah" deepening his voice as he mocked the man, Cagalli started to walk away.

"Maybe it's because I've got more to offer than just a dirty mouth. Maybe because I have more to offer than a violent brother…maybe I really do like him…"

Another summer day
has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

While listening to the crooning from her stereo, Cagalli lied down on her bed, stroking her cast. How was she feeling this feeling for a complete stranger? She's only known him for 5 hours, and she's already 1) Gotten stuck in an elevator nearly dying, 2) broken her arm, 3) made a fool of herself, and 4) gotten her pride bruised.

While the next song started to flow through her speakers, she heard a knock on her front door. The knocking was also followed by a series of clicks on the hardwood floor.

Oh no, oh no, no, no, no!!

The clicking sound was from her friend Luna, who's probably back from a booty call with the star jock. She didn't know how in the world she was friends with the little sex-kitten… but then again, after the day that she's had, the impossible doesn't seem so hard to achieve right now.

BAM!

"HELLO CAGALLI!" said the shrill voice, and from a melodic voice came another hello. Cagalli turned her head, and nearly burst out laughing. Luna had totally outdone herself this time. She was wearing a leopard print loincloth and a burlesque corset…thing that seams to try and scrape her boobs off of her chest and feed it to her mouth.

Standing next to her, her brother's girlfriend, and signer extraordinaire, was the vision of perfection as always. Even though she wasn't sporting her usual white ensemble, she still looks innocent and beautiful with her black slip and grey shrug. Looking at both of them made Cagalli look at her own outfit, still wearing her clothes from work, she looked like someone threw her into the dumpster and the dumpster with disgust - spat her back out.

"WE'RE GOING CLUBBING!" Luna shrieked… now Cagalli had realized, Luna never spoke, or whispers, she always shrieked. Wow, painkillers made the world so much clearer…NOTE: get Kira to pick up more painkillers, maybe this time; for the first time, I'll get Algebra!

While raising her arm, revealing her stocky cast. To the horror of her friend, she said "I don't think that's going to happen…I don't think guys want to play MLB at a nightclub."

"Ohmygod are you alright? Do you need painkillers? Do you need your pillow fluffed?" Suddenly, as if her cast had flicked an imaginary switch, Lacus' motherly mode got turned on and started blasting questions at her.

"No. No, and yes please." Lacus rushed over and propped Cagalli up, fluffed her pillow with great gusto; as if her life depended on it. She then slammed Cagalli down onto her pillow, landing her into a mass of downy softness. After Cagalli made herself at ease; she began her saga of her elevator encounter.

Looking over at Luna, she was huddling in the doorway to her washroom whispering into her cell phone, softly shrieking orders into the hot-pink plastic.

"Umm, Luna, what are you doing?"

"It's a surprise, common, let's go watch some TV…but first, we have to make you over!"

And with that, Cagalli heard a door slam in her head. The worst has begun.
