Important! Read this
Just for your info, I'll be stealing the beginning happenings from GSD straight 'cause I'm lazy. Timeline placing goes like this: Minerva is on Orb and instead Athrun meeting Kira, they'll talk on the phone and I sure as hell am not writing that talk here. I hope you can forgive me. Enjoy! Oh and Kira and co. survived from the fall of Junius 7.
Orb Main island
Shinn was walking towards the square that held the memorial of the Bloody Valentine war.
He'd heard where it was when he'd left from Morgenroete facilities.
It was a simple looking but still a beautiful place. Even in the middle of the darkest and bitterest thoughts, he found himself silently admiring the scene. Even if the flowers were going to wither because of the tidal waves Junius 7 had roused. Shinn heard singing in the air. (Insert "Fields of Hope" here.) He saw that there was already someone in front of the stone-made memorial.
It was someone older than him. The long pink hair flowed in the wind as she set flowers to the stone. He got a nagging feeling that he should know the person. But at the moment he was a little too wrapped in his pain that he couldn't even remember when he was supposed to back.
The singing ceased when she turned towards him and looked him in the eyes. Despite the distance, Shinn felt like she was looking into his very soul.
"Is that the memorial?"
A soft and melodic voice answered. "Yes it is. Is this your first time here?"
"Yes... Just haven't got time to come." Somehow he felt that he should justify himself.
A short laughter rang in his ears. "Don't worry. It's also my first proper visit here. But even when I stand here and think all the lost people, I'm not sad, nor angry."
Shinn lifted his head. How could she not be sad? "Why's that?" He was angry. "I lost my family in an attack here at Orb. In front of my eyes. How can I not be angry?"
Something lashed through her eyes. Then she walked past Shinn and he thought she was leaving but the sound of her steps stopped suddenly.
"In the words of someone long forgotten from this world: Do not pity the dead, pity the living. Good day to you."
Shinn fell silent. Then he turned abruptly. "Wa-…" He stopped. There wasn't anyone in the square.
Momentarily he wondered had she been there in the first place. But then he remembered, "Do not pity the dead, pity the living."
But then he found that those words were the only thing he could recall from the meeting. He seemingly shrugged it off and went back, away from the square.
In the edge of the small forest, hidden by the trees, Lacus smiled a sad smile. 'That boy is unfortunate.' A sigh. 'I wonder what you would've said to him…. Kira.' She looked at the birds above the sea.
With Cagalli & Athrun:
"GOING TO PLANTS???" A loud shout could be heard as Cagalli stared dumbfounded at Athrun. 'Why are you leaving me at a time like this?' Floated in her head.
"I've thought about it. There must be something I can do to stop this war."
"What can you do in ZAFT Athrun. You follow orders in military. Not invent your own."
A heavy silence.
"I've made my decision. I talked to Kira yesterday. He told me to do what I believe in. I'll go."
Cagalli said nothing. They both could already hear the sound of the helicopter. Outside she pulled herself together.
"I'll miss you." It was a silent whisper.
Athrun looked her and thought it was a good moment. He reached to his pocket.
"I know the thing between Yuna and you and I don't approve to it. That's why…"
He slit the ring to her ring finger.
"A-A-Athrun…" She stopped for a moment. "You know this isn't the right way to give a girl a ring, you know."
They both blushed heavily. Then the borders were crossed and they shared a last kiss before Athrun left for the PLANTs.
With Kira (still don't know where… damn)
Kira contemplated the call Athrun had given him. He felt bad for not answering him straight. (if I remember right, Kira never gave him a straight answer)
He'd followed the news about the fall. He knew it was just for the sake of war. There were strong powers behind these battles. Both sides were equally soiled in blood.He was sad to think what the children would have to go through again. They had all lost someone in the last war. That's why they were in his care to begin with. He had his suspicions about the Seilan family. Only part of it was because Yuna was in some kind of engagement with his sister but there was something shady in them. He saw no reason to stop following the news even if they didn't really touch him anymore.
That still didn't explain why he had Freedom in a container at the bottom of the sea, just outside the small gulf he had the house in. He didn't want to fight again, did he?
No humor here. More like love. Damn I suck at making up emotions. I think nearly made Shinn to have sense here. Not good. I'm not really fond of Shinn.
Merry Xmas to everyone. Love ya. Now love me (or hate me) and REVIEW.
