Hi, Mayu's here! This is the third chapter of Double Twin. Firstly, I want to thank everyone who reviewed for the previous chapter. I really appreciate it. Hontou ni arigato! Enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 3
"Whoa! It's so big!"exclaimed Cagalli as she gazed at the scenery in front of her.
Kirs smiled at his sister. He was used to this everytime they went to a funfair. Cagalli's eyes would glint cheerfully and she would acted like a 6-years-old kid.
"...Umm? I see someone staring at Cagalli?"whispered Lacus at Athrun's ear teasingly.
The blue-haired guy immediately blushed. He glared at his sister with his don't-say-it-too-loud look. Lacus giggled and nodded knowingly. It was obvious for her that Athrun was interested at Cagalli. He kept looking or to be exact, staring at the blonde.
It had been four days since their first day at Eternal High School. The four had known some old students in their class and those who were not in their class. As a welcome treat for them, the old students decided to bring them to the funfair. Cagalli was waiting for tonight eagerly and tried to invite friends as many as she could since she thought it was more fun if more could come.
Only some of their friends could come tonight. They were Tolle, Miriallia, Flay, Meer, Auel, Meyrin, Lunamaria, Yzak, Dearka and Shiho. Athrun didn't like the idea of Meer coming but couldn't do anything since she was really coming. Meer liked to cling at his arm and made him as her boyfriend. At first, Athrun thought it was Lacus who clung at his arm but thinking that Lacus never did that, he turned twice and to his surprise, it was Meer! He pretended like he didn't mind it but only God knew how much he wanted to get rid of her. He also noticed that Meyrin kept staring at him whenever she got the chance, even though she was Auel's girlfriend and not in their class.
As for Cagalli, she was lucky that Yuuna couldn't make it tonight. The purple haired guy really annoyed her. He always bugging her everytime he saw her. He offered himself to guide Cagalli exploring the whole school but what made Cagalli curious was, he only offered himself for her, not for Lacus, Kira and Athrun. Cagalli simply ignored him and hanged out with her other boy friends. Her open-minded attitude made her easy to find friends among the boys.
Kira seemed like it when Flay told him everything about Eternal High. She helped him to memorize the classes's location and remember the teacher's name. She even lent Kira her note for him to revise since he came late for a term. Athrun and Lacus didn't need it since they were very bright and could remember anything by just reading it once, or what Cagalli said, they could memorize a book by glancing at its cover. Cagalli, at the other hand, found it was easy to make her late coming as an excuse to not able to answer the question.
Lacus went her first week at Eternal High smoothly. The other students, the boys, especially, and also the teachers, simly adored her polite attitude and sweet look. Her name was instantly popular among the boys. Since Tuesday, she received a lot of love-letters. Athrun wanted to tease her but he also experienced the same. Some girls began to hate Lacus for snatching the boy's attention but they immediately be nice towards her once they knew she was Athrun's sister.
"Let's go in!"
They went in, following the running Cagalli. Once they were inside, they couldn't help but to smile widely too. The funfair site was very big and there were many games could be seen everywhere. No wonder this funfair was said as the best in the town!
"Now princess, where should we go first?" Kira asked his twin teasingly.
Cagalli pointed at the roller-coaster. "There!"
Mirallia and Tolle looked at themselves and chuckled. Miriallia shook her head slowly as she held Cagalli's shoulder. "Cagalli, you forgot something. We must change our money into tokens first."
"That's right. Come on, guys. There's a token counter."said Auel.
They all changed their money into tokens. Cagalli bought the largest amount of tokens. The others wondered how she would finished them all.
"So, let's play roller-coaster first, ne?"pleaded Cagalli.
Lacus shook her head, disagree. "I prefer merry-go-round."
Cagalli pouted. "Merry-go-round? Only kids play that!"
Athrun lifted his hands before the argue continued. "Okay, okay...let's be fair. Who would like to play merry-go-round?"he asked the others.
Nobody raised their hand or said anything.
"So, Lacus, let's play roller-coaster, okay?"coaxed Athrun gently.
Lacus made sour face. It made Kira felt pity. He raised his hand. "I'll play it with her."
The others, included Lacus, raised their eyebows. Cagalli put her palm on Kira's forehead. "...Umm, weird. No fever."she said.
"Are you sure, Yamato?"asked Yzak disbelievingly.
Kira nodded and smiled at Lacus. "You all go ahead. Lacus and I will play merry-go-round. We'll meet again here."
"Okay! Let's go, everyone!"Cagalli shouted cheerfully as she dragged Athrun. Meer squeled in disapproval and ran after them but couldn't compete with their speed since she was wearing a very short skirt. The other ran along and giggled happily.
"You know, Kira, it moved very fast and..."
Kira sighed boredly. "I know, Cagalli. I've heard that, you told me just now..."
"...But I didn't tell you that it also very scary, right? It was built very high and also..."
"We've heard that also, Cagalli..."said Lacus, smiling faintly.
Athrun smiled. Cagalli kept talking about the roller-coaster since they met back with Kira and Lacus. She seemed very happy. Her smile brought everyone's smile, even those who had Meer clinging at his arm...
"Meer, could you please let go of my arm?"asked Athrun slowly.
Meer thought it was a joke and brought her face closer to Athrun's. Their lips nearly met if Athrun didn't draw back his face. "I know, Athrun. You kept staring at my skirt when we played roller-coaster. You're so hentai..."
"Really!"exclaimed the surprise Kira. The others also looked shocked and waited for his answer.
The blue-haired guy gulped. He glared at Meer angrily and pulled his arm. "I didn't! Meer, don't make such a story!"
Meer pouted. "I'm just kidding, okay?"
Auel chuckled and looked at Meyrin. "She's always like that, you know, Mey..." and to his surprise, Meyrin was staring dreamingly at Athrun.
"...Rin...!Rin..!" he called quietly. Meyrin woke up from her long dream about a certain emerald-eyed guy. She drew a nervous smile to her boyfriend.
"...Err, yes? Sorry, I didn't hear what you said just now."
"It's nothing. You stared at Athrun, didn't you?"asked Auel jealoulsy.
Meyrin shook her head immediately. She would die if she admited it. Auel was scary when he went angry or jealous. "No, I didn't. What make you think I did, Auel? I already have you."
"...just forget it, okay?"
Lunamaria looked at the two and shook her head slowly. She felt pity for Auel. If only he knew who Meyrin really was...Meyrin was her sister but Lunamaria didn't think that Meyrin deserved Auel. Auel was just too kind for a girl like Meyrin.
Meyrin may looked cute and innocent but only Lunamaria knew how evil she was. Only Lunamaria knew how good she could act. Only Lunamaria knew how good she was in seducing. Only Lunamaria knew what she did behind Auel. Only Lunamaria knew how many guys she had been dating with. And only Lunamaria knew who was her next victim.
"Hey, onee-chan!"said Meyrin when they was watching the television in their room.
"...yeah?"Lunamaria asked as she concentrated at the movie she was watching.
Meyrin lied down beside her sister. "Athrun is cute, right?"
Lunamaria just muttered a soft 'yeah' since she was really into the movie. But when she got her senses back, she quickly got up from her lie and glared at her sister. "Don't tell me that he is your next victim?"
"What if I say yes? He is just too cute."Meyrin answered and acted like nothing happened.
"I wish I could tell Auel about this, Rin!"
The younger Hawke smirked evilly. "Then I simply will tell Rey about you kissing his photo everytime before you go to bed."
Lunamaria threw a pillow to her sister and stormed out from the room angrily as she grumbled. She really wished Auel could know Meyrin's true self but if Meyrin still black-mailing her, she couldn't let a word slipped.
"Hey! Luna!"
The voice startled Lunamaria. She turned to it. "What, Elsmand?"
Dearka grinned. "Just calling you. You seemed singking into your deep thought. Care to tell me what?"
Lunamaria narrowed her eyes towards the blond and walked a little bit faster. She didn't really like Dearka. Even though she wasn't in the same class as him, she knew how naughty and playful Dearka was. "It's none of your business!"
Flay raised her eyebrows Lunamaria suddenly walked beside her, grumbling. "Hey! What's wrong, Miss Grumble?"
"Mind your own business, Miss I-Am-The-Prettiestt-Girl!"replied Lunamaria angrily.
Tolle, who haerd the names, laughed and clapped her hands cheerfully. "Hey! I like the names. Maybe I'll use them to call you two next time!"he said, putting his thumbs up.
The two girls glared at him deathly. "Don't you dare..."they warned him in unison but stopped when they heard Lacus's squel.
"OMG! That's so cute! Athrun, I want that!"
They approached the stall that Lacus was pointing. Many dolls were hung up there. Athrun stared at them boredly. "Which one? Give me your tokens." he said.
Lacus shoved three tokens into Athrun's hand. She pointed at the biggest pink doll exitedly."That one, the pink one."
"Hey! He must get full marks if he wants to get that doll! Do you think it's easy to throw all the arrows to their target?"said Yzak.
The pink-haired smiled as Athrun gave the tokens to the stall girl. The girl gave him six arrows and told Athrun how to play but Athrun cut her off by saying he knew how to play.
"Just watch him, Yzak."
To everyone's surprise (except Lacus), Athrun managed to throw the arrows at the targets perfectly. The stall girl seemed relucant to believe it but at last, she gave Athrun the doll after checking whether Athrun did cheat or not. Athrun gave the doll to Lacus. Lacus hugged the big doll happily and said a loud thanks. Her brother just smiled and looked at the others, who were looking at him like he was an alien.
"Hey! What's wrong with you guys?"he asked.
"You're really good, Athrun! How could you throw the arrows perfectly like that?" Dearka asked back.
Cagalli patted Athrun's head and messed his blue hair. "I wish I have a brother like you, Athrun. Kira is nothing to compare with you."
"Hey! How dare you said that, sis! If you want something, just tell me. I'll try to get it for you!"replied Kira, brotherly.
"Really?"Cagalli mocked.
"Cagalli! You always messed up Athrun's hair!"Meer retorted suddenly as she tried to fix it. "I have a comb with me, Athrun. Do you want to use it?"
Athrun shook his head immediately. Sharing the same comb with Meer? Yuck! "It's okay, Meer. I like my hair this way."
The blonde girl tucked her tongue out towards Meer. "Hear that? He loves it!"she teased.
Meer pouted. "If Athrun says so..."
"So, I'll mess it more!"exclaimed Cagalli happily as she raised her hand to Athrun's head. The blue-haired guy caught her hand and smiled. "Come on. This is enough, Cagalli."he said gently.
Cagalli pulled her hand, ran behind Athrun and messed his back hair. The others laughed at her childish act. Athrun seemed liked Cagalli's antics. He laughed and tried to mess up Cagalli's hair but Cagalli avoided him fastly. The two continued to teased each other as they left for the other stall.
"Stop it, Cagalli! My hair is such in mess now!"said Athrun as he ducked Cagalli's attempt to mess his hair again. Cagalli didn't stop and accidentally tripped. All of them stopped. Athrun knelt beside her to see whether she was all right.
"Cagalli? Are you okay? Does your feet hurt?"he asked worriedly.
Slowly, Cagalli looked up. "Trick!"she shouted and messed up Athrun's hair happily. Athrun stunned for a while before he gained back his senses. He laughed and fix his hair lightly. "You're so cheeky. Come one, you don't want the people continue to watch us, do you?"
The two stood up. Cagalli heard one of the people who were watching just now said, "Such a cute couple they are...Cute girl with handsome guy, they really suitable for each other..."
She blushed at the comment. Deep in her heart, she admited that Athrun was very handsome. No wonder Meer and the other girls at school couldn't let their sight go from him. And for her, he was really perfect. Handsome, kind, intelligent and from his clothes, she knew he was from a rich family. But she didn't think the comment was fully true. She, a tomboyish girl with a gentleman like him, were suitable for each other? No matter how many times she thought about it, it really didn't make sense! Athrun was more suitable for Meer than for her.
Miriallia's voice stopped Cagalli's thought. "Look there, Tolle! Can you get that doll for me? I like it!"she said and pointed at a doll hung up at a stall.
Tolle simply nodded and pulled his girlfriend's hand to walk to the stall. "I think Milly and I will walk around here by ourselves after I get the doll for her. See you all later!"he said, waving his hand.
"At least...Tolle tries to win something for Milly but poor me...my boyfriend is too bad to win anything for me..."sighed Shiho.
Yzak shot his famous death glare at the brown-haired girl. He didn't like to be compared with someone else, especially when it was Shiho who made the comparison. He wanted to be the best guy, or at least, at Shiho's eyes. "What do you mean by that! Just tell me what you do you want. I'm not as good as Zala but I will try to get it for you."
Shiho smiled. She knew Yzak would say that. Yzak had such a high ego, he wouldn't let someone looked him down, especially her. But that was why she loved him, because he always wanted to be the best in front of her. She didn't mind his temper since she knew he only lost his temper when he was in a certain situation. "If so, let's walk around and I'll tell you which thing I want."
The two left the others. Dearka sighed as his bestfriend had left him. "Now, only ten of us are here. I think I want to play Ferris Wheel. Who want to join me?"
Auel raised his hand cheerfully. "I'll join you. Rin will come too, right, Rin?"
Meyrin drew her fake sweet smile. Actually she wanted to be with Athrun. She felt a little bit jealous when Cagalli got his attention just now. But she must followed Auel or else, he would suspected something. But she was afraid if her sister dared to tell Athrun about her plan. "I'll come if my onee-chan come."
Lunamaria gnashed her teeth angrily. She knew Meyrin asked her to come with her because she was afraid that Lunamaria would tell her secret to Athrun. Unwillingly, she nodded.
"So, now only six of us left..."said Cagalli slowly.
"I thought you want to play Ferris Wheel, sis. Why didn't you come with them?" asked Kira.
"I want to but not now...Look how many people queuing up just to play it. Maybe later."
"So, who want to enter the ghost house with me?"Kira asked excitedly.
Meer, Flay, Athrun and Cagalli shook their head in unison. "No, thanks!"
Lacus looked hesitate. She thought, Kira had joined her to play Merry-Go-Round. She knew he didn't really want to play it. No guy in their right mind would play such a thing. But he played it...for her. And this was the time to pay him back...even though she was trembling just by hearing the word 'ghost house'.
'I'll join you, Kira."
Athrun's eyes widened. He knew how afraid Lacus was when it came about ghost and spiritual things. He saw her trembling just now, when Kira mentioned about ghost house. "Are you sure, Lacus?"he asked.
"Yeah, don't worry, Athrun. I'll be allright."
Kira seemed pleased when Lacus said she would come with him. Flay saw his smile and felt uneasy suddenly. She didn't know why but her heart insisted to follow the two. She really didn't want them to be alone.
"If Lacus comes, I'll come too. It's not nice to let a girl alone with a boy, you know." she said. "You will come too, right, Meer?"
Meer didn't know whom to choose. She wanted to come with Flay but at the same time, she didn't want Athrun and Cagalli to be alone. At last, she choosed Athrun. "I don't think so, Flay. Go on. I'll walk around here with Athrun and Cagall."
Flay understood her bestfriend. She winked at her secretly and waved her hand. "So, we'll leave, yeah?"
"Kira!" Athrun called suddenly when the three began their step. Kira turned back with his what's-wrong look.
"Take good care of my sis."
Kira put his thumbs up. "Don't worry. Take care of my little sis too."
Cagalli pouted. Kira always teased her for being younger than him by two minutes. For her, she was more matured than the brunette but it was somekind of nice to have a caring brother like him.
"So, let's walk around and see if I can win anything for you two."said Athrun as he smile.
"Sure! Let's go!" Meer squeled happily. It reminded Athrun to Lacus but Lacus never squeled like that in front of anyone except him.
They began to walk around. Meer was clinging at Athrun's arm as she was his girlfriend. Athrun sighed in his heart. He didn't mind if it was Cagalli but it was Meer...
Meer felt bored with the silence and started a talk. "Athrun, what do you want to be later?"she asked such a childish question.
"...umm...what about you?"Athrun asked back.
"I want to be an actress. I asked about you, Athrun. Don't ask me back."
Athrun thought for a while. "Umm...I think I want to be a pilot. You, Cagalli?"
"Don't know." A simple answer from Cagalli.
"How come you don't know?"asked Meer, disbelievingly."So, why do you come to school?"
Cagalli narrowed her eyes boredly and stared at the stalls around her. "Just for fun; tease the teachers, find a boyfriend, that's all."
The pink-haired girl shook her head slowly. "You are worse than me. Anyway, don't you ever have a boyfriend?"
"I ever have one but we've broke up. I liked Auel but he's taken...too bad..." sighed Cagalli.
Athrun felt the stabbing pain in his heart again. He always felt that when Cagalli complimented Auel or other guys. It felt like jealousy...but it couldn't be it. He knew only people who was in love would feel jealous. He didn't love her, did he?
"Ah, Auel? He already has Meyrin. What about Dearka? He's single."Meer suggested.
The blonde waved her hand. "No way!He is a hentai! Milly told me! He's her ex, you know."
Meer suggested again. "Yuuna? He seems like you, no, he obviously likes you."
Yuuna's name brought Cagalli's anger. "I rather die without boyfriend than to be his girlfriend!"
"Hey! Hey! Yuuna is not that bad. I know him well."
"So, why not be his girlfriend, then?"
"Because..."
Athrun thought that he had enough with this argue. He cut off. "Stop it, you two. My head is aching."
"Really?"asked Meer concernly. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just stop arguing, okay?Cagalli, you forgot another single guy in your list."
Cagalli raised her eyebrows. "Who?"
"Won't tell you. Poor him...it's obvious that you never thought about him." Athrun sounded hurt. In fact, he was really hurt. Cagalli never thougt about him. He didn't hope she would say she liked him as she liked Auel but...at least she could joke about it, right? But she didn't. Was he too bad to be her boyfriend?
"Who is that guy? Tell me!"
The blue-haired guy shook his head slowly. "It's okay. Just forgot it. I don't think you will like him. He has nothing. He is not handsome like Auel too. Just forgot what I said earlier, yeah? Hey! Look at that game. It seems fun. Let's play that!"
"Are you okay? Do you want to go back?"asked Kira, worriedly.
Lacus shook her head and tried to smile but too weak to do so. She screamed so loudly just now, when some vampires jumped in front of her. "Yeah...don't worry...I'm all right."
Kira still didn't satisfied. He knew she was afraid. Her pale face showed everything. He wondered whether he could do something to ease her frightness.
Hug her, Kira
What! Hug her? But...what will she think...?
She won't mind! Come on. At least, you hold her hand!
B-But...
Such a coward you are, Kira Hibiki!
I'm not a coward! Fine, I'll do it.
"L-Lacus, w-won't you mind if I...err...I hold your hand?"stammering, Kira said.
"No, I won't mind. Thanks."replied Lacus, smiling as she felt Kira's hand took her hand into his.
His hand is so warm...If only he won't let go my hand...
Flay narrowed her eyes towards the two. Jealously attacted her heart. She didn't know why but she always feeling jealous when she saw Kira being nice to Lacus. She wasn't like Meer who showed obviously that she liked Athrun. Flay wasn't that type of girls. She was the daughter of George Allster, the Heliopolis's Minister. She had such a high ego, just like Yzak.
"Flay? Whay? Are you afraid too?" Kira's question made Flay shocked.
"Eh? No, I'm not!" Flay denied quickly.
Kira drew his typhical cute smile. "That's good to hear. Don't worry, if you're scared, my other hand is available."
Three of them laughed quietly. Flay smiled. "Yeah...If I'm scared, I'll hold your hand. Hope you won't mind."
"Finally...it is our turn...no wonder only you three who are kind enough to accompany me..."sighed Dearka after the four of them had line up for about half an hour.
Auel nodded stiffly. His face didn't look as cheerful as it was used to be. "Only two of us can play together. I'll go with Meyrin." he said, toneless.
OMG! Meyrin gupled. That tone...he's angry!
Lunamaria frowned. Riding the Ferris Wheel with Dearka...she really thought she should say no. But right before she opened her mouth to speak...
"Okay, come on, Luna!"Dearka said happily as he dragged the red-short-haired girl into the ...err...Ferris Wheel? (A/N Sorry! Don't know what we call that thing.)
The other two sat in the Ferris Wheel as it moved slowly. Meyrin looked at the below of them, feeling very, very nervous. Auel's voice earlier made her felt something bad would happened. Auel was very kind when he was in his good mood but he was completely different when he was angry.
"Rin."
The sudden call startled Meyrin. She looked at her boyfriend nervously. "Y-Yes?"
A pair of blue eyes stared at her. "You like Athrun, don't you?"
Meyrin really wished she was deaf. She didn't know why. This wasn't the first time Auel asked that question. Auel had asked her about hundred times, did she like other guys as the rumors said. And she would deny it easily, saying it was only a rumor. But now, she was too nervous to say anything.
"Come one, Rin. This time I didn't hear the rumor. No one tell me. If there is someone, it is you. It is obvious. You kept staring at him, ignoring your own boyfriend. Just admit it. I'm kinda bored with this thing."said Auel earnestly.
"Auel...I-I just...Athrun is..."
"Too perfect. Yeah, I know. And you like him. I'm nothing to compare with him, right? I know."Auel cut off.
Tears rolled on Meyrin's cheek. They weren't the real ones. It was her best technique. Fake Tears. She sobbed loudly, hoping Auel would sympathized her. But to her surprise, Auel said the thing that she never thought he would say.
"Let's break up."
Breaking up with Auel meant she would lose a lots of things. She would lose her pride of having the cutest boy in school. She would lose someone who treated her every lunch. She would lose someone who bought her expensive clothes every week. She would lose someone who did her homework everytime she found it was hard to do. She definitely would lose many things!
"N-No, Auel...yo-you c-can't do this..."she stammered. "I-I don't love Athrun...I really don't...! Please, Auel..."
"This is enough. Don't worry, Athrun is lot bettter than me. He is richer than me and also smarter than me. And...he is the most handsome boy in school now. You will be popular if you be his girlfriend. That is what you want, right? The fame, the money..."
Meyrin blinked her eyes. There was no talk between them after that. Meyrin didn't know what to say and Auel didn't even bother to look at her.
"...Riding this stupid thing with you...I really hope I didn't agree at the first place... the worst thing I ever did...Even walking alone through the ghost house is better than riding this with you..."grumbled Lunamaria as she avoided to look at Dearka.
Dearka sighed. "Am I that bad, Luna? I just want to give the two a private moment. Can't you understand? Meyrin is your sister!"
"Yeah...sister..." Lunamaria muttered irritatedly.
"What's wrong? Sister agrument, eh?"
Lunamaria shot her death glare. She wondered why Dearka always tried to mess with her things. It really annoyed her. "Can't you mind your own business?"
The blond just shrugged. His face became serious suddenly. "It looks like I can't."
"What do you mean by that? You've fallen in love with me, huh?"mocked Lunamaria.
"Maybe."
Dearka's answer shocked Lunamaria. She thought he was only joking since he always did. She laughed. "Very funny, Elsmand."
But Dearka wasn't joking. He meant what he said just now. He thought he really had fallen in love with Lunamaria. He only realized it this lately. He couldn't keep his eyes off at her whenever he got the chance. It was too bad that they were not in the same class. But everytime he saw her, his heart would beat faster. He couldn't think why he felt that way, except one. He was in love with her.
"Is it funny? I'm not joking, you know. I really think I've fallen in love you. Don't you feel the same, Luna?"
Lunamaria was shocked beyond the words. So, he wasn't joking after all. Suddenly. she felt symphaty towards him. But what the problem now was, she really didn't have any feelings towards him. "B-But...I...I never h-have any feelings towards you...really..."
"Really..."sighed Dearka desperately. "It's okay, then..."
"W-We can be friend, right? I can't accept you...be-because...I already have...have someone that I like..."
Dearka smiled faintly. He thought he must accepted the fact. After breaking up with Miriallia, he never thought to have another girlfriend. But a certain red-headed girl who resembled Miriallia in many ways, had opened his heart. Even though he was rejected, he still felt relieved. At least, he had the courage to tell her his feeling. It wasn't easy to keep it alone.
"So, who is the lucky guy? Tell me, please?"he asked.
The red-haired girl seemed hesitated. "Promise me that you will never tell this to anyone."she said, which Dearka replied with a nod.
"Rey Za Burrel."
A wide smile drew on Dearka's face. He began to laugh. "The blond Burrel? It is really unexpected! I thought...only gay would go to him!"
"Hey! He is not that bad! He is cute and...stop laughing!" But Dearka still chuckling.
"Wow! Such a cute doll you have there, Cagalli."complimented Lacus when all of them gathered back. "Athrun won it for you?"
Cagalli, who was holding a small yet cute teddy-bear, blushed and nodded. She didn't like to admit it but Athrun did win it for her. She had tried many times to win it herself but failed. At last, Athrun used his own token to win it for her.
Miriallia held the teddy bear's small hand. "So cute...Do you like the small stuff like this, Cagalli?"
"Yeah, I don't like the big ones."
"Hey! Hey! Look at my teddy bear. He is cute, isn't he?"interrupted Meer. She was hugging a very-big teddy bear in her arms. It was even bigger than Lacus'.
Miriallia looked at Lacus and both of them grinned. Shiho made a dislike face while Lunamaria narrowed her eyes. Only Meyrin and Cagalli didn't react.
Flay forced a smile. "It-It's cute, Meer."
Meer smiled childishly. "Athrun won it for me! Right, Athrun?"
Athrun nodded unwillingly. It wasn't him who wanted to win the doll for her. He was forced to, if only he could tell her that. But, he felt happy when he could win something for Cagalli. Cagalli was definitely different to compare with Meer. Cagalli didn't ask him to win the doll, instead, she tried to win it by herself. But Meer pleaded him until he couldn't resist and felt a bit embrassed when the peoples lokked at them. He had no choice but to say yes.
"I think we should go home now."said Auel.
His toneless voice made Cagalli turned to him. His voice always sounded cheerful. "Are you all right, Auel?"she asked concernly.
Auel smiled and nodded. Maybe he should think back about Cagalli's offer earlier. "Yeah."
The teens began to walk out from the funfair site. Once they outside, they stopped to bid each other good bye.
"Thanks, you all. I have such a good time tonight."said Cagalli.
Kira nodded and smiled. "Yeah, me too."
"Same here."said Athrun and Lacus in unison.
Tolle grinned. "Glad you all enjoy. See you all at school later."
"See you! Good bye!"waved Cagalli as the old students left them four. "Good bye, Auel!"
"Goodbye, Cagalli!" Auel waved back.
Athrun avoided his sight. The pain came again.
"Athrun? Are you all right?"asked Kira, making the blue-haired guy looked up immediately and nodded.
"I think the time is up, Lacus."
"So, see you later, Kira, Cagalli."said Lacus as she waved happily.
Kira returned her wave. "See you. Goodbye!"
Cagalli smiled. "Goodbye. And thanks, Athrun, for this."she said, holding her teddy-bear a little bit higher.
"You're welcome. Let's go, Lacus. See you two later. Bye."Athrun replied stiffly.
The twin left. Kira looked at Cagalli. "Athrun sounded weird just now, didn't he?"he asked.
The blonde just shrugged. "Yeah, he is weird. Come on or else Mom will get angry."
"Yeah, let's go."
"Athrun, you are jealous, right?"asked Lacus, teasingly.
Athrun didn't blush or smile as he always did. "It's none of your business, Lacus."
Lacus chuckled. "I know you are. It is about Auel and Ca..."
"Don't speak that name!" Athrun cut off angrily.
"Which name? Auel or Cagalli?"Lacus still wanted to tease her brother.
"That blue-haired git."
It was a surprise to hear Athrun being so angry until the bad words came out from his mouth. Lacus didn't expect he was really angry. She choosed to silent since she knew how scary Athrun was when he was angry. "Okay..."
It's so obvious that he is jealous. Cagalli, looks like we will be sisters in law later...And Auel, I pity you...
Finally! I finished this chapter. Phew...Now, I can rest peacefully. I'm going to take a break for a week before I write fanfictions again. It's good to give my eyes a rest or else my eyes degree will be higher. It had reached 300 when I cheked it last time. I'm afraid to check it again, perhaps the result will say my degree had reached 500. Before I go, I want to beg you, please, please and please review!
