Yay!……..I'll be quote on quote my friend 'old' too in a week in a half. x)

OK………now to the story…..

From the previous chapter

"Hey, Athrun," Kira called. "How did you know that I was here?"

When hearing the name Athrun, Cagalli spontaneously looked up. No, it can't be him.

But there in front of her and her friends was that obnoxious freak. "It's YOU!" Cagalli shouted, pointing her finger towards Authrun.

Chapter 6- Explaining, Apologies, and Even MORE Explaining

Instantly, Athrun had the same impulse. "WHY the hell are YOU HERE!"

Cagalli was pissed off. What a jerk. "I LIVE HERE! WHY ELSE WOULD I BE HERE FOR!"

Kira was too stunned to speak. Did they meet already?

"WELL HOW WOULD I KNOW!" yelled Athrun, growing very upset over the screaming girl. Damn she's one annoying brat.

"I JUST TOLD YOU?"

"SO!!! I ASKED BEFORE YOU DID!"

"TOO BAD. That's not MY problem now is it?" Cagalli scoffed. Dammit, why won't he just get out of my life? Grrr. I think I'm starting to dislike school already.

Athrun meanwhile was thinking of just the same thing. No! Why doses she have to attend THIS school? How will I survive if I can't even last five minutes with her?

After the 'little' quarrel, there was yet again another awkward silence among all of them. Mirry and Lacus had tried to calm Cagalli down but the girl just couldn't. Both of their friends could see the steam coming out of her ears. Oh boy.

Kira was even more stunned now. He couldn't get it. Why would Cagalli get so worked up over just some boy, especially my best friend? And why would Athrun get SO mad? I have never seen him like this before. I wonder what I missed.

Kira, Lacus, and Mirry were now thinking, looking back and forth between their friends. Cagalli and Athrun were having an in-depth staring contest, well, more like a glaring contest. Cagalli and Athrun shot death glares at each other, each becoming more and more intense. The three friends just watched. They could see fire raging in each of their eyes as brown met green.

Tension built as they continued to stare. Kira couldn't take it any longer. I can't have my sister and best friend arguing. I have to find out what happened.

"Hey you guys," Kira had tried to get their attention. Neither of the two seemed to pay attention. He tried again. "You GUYS?"

Finally, the two had stopped staring and focused their attention on Kira. Both had seemed agitated. Kira only sighed. "What happened that I don't know of?"

Of course, Cagalli did not want to answer this question. Could this day get any worse? "Why don't YOU go ask HIM." Cagalli said, emphasizing you and him while pointing an accusing finger at Athrun.

Kira grew a little more troubled. Had Athrun done something to harm her? Suddenly, Kira felt a weird feeling. Everyone else in the room noticed it too.

"What did you do to her?" asked Kira wish a harsher tone, directing it towards Athrun.

"N-nothing, really. We just--"

"Okay whatever your name is, I'm not going to listen. I'm going off to MY room!" Cagalli stomped away, slamming her room door room as she entered.

The mood in general in the room seemed to alleviate as the feisty girl marched off. Everything became grave again once Kira had asked again, "What did you do to her?"

Oh shizz. Kira is mad. I better apologize to him right away. "Err…well--"

"It is alright," Kira slightly chucked, but more in the mocking and false way, "I won't bite."

That's not what I'm afraid of. You can have a big temper like Cagalli. "Well, today, Cagalli and I bumped into each other at the airport."

"You guys what! Is she okay?" Kira had interrupted.

Athrun sighed. I wish he would stop being so overprotective of this girl and just listen. I wonder why he is getting so worked up over her. Are they d—no, they couldn't be.

After Kira had stopped talking, Athrun continued with his story. When Athrun had finished, Lacus and Mirry had also added the bet.

Kira could only be amazed. Wow. "Hey Athrun…"

"Yeah?"

"You should apologize to Cagalli. Trust me, having her hate you is horrible."

"Sure, but is there anything between the two of you?"

"Whaaat!" Kira had coughed. "N-no. She's my twin."

"TWIN!" You never told me that," Athrun was the one shocked now. Why didn't he tell me.

"Yeah, we just found out a year ago."

"Alright."

"Well," Kira was saying with a commanding stern voice, "you better go to her now." With that, he got up and pulled Athrun with him.

Wow he's gotten pretty strong. Athrun then held his composure. Just before entering the quiet room, he had whispered apologetically, "Sorry Kira."

Kira then just gave a reassuring smile. "Good luck." Athrun really needs it. Then, Kira slowly left, leaving Athrun in the empty hallway all alone.

Here I go. Athrun had knocked the door. There was no response. Cautiously, he had entered only to see Cagalli staring out into the peaceful scenery. She looks so serene when she likes that.

It had been a few minutes since Athrun stepped in. No words were exchanged between the two. Cagalli sighed, not noticing the figure behind her.

"Are you okay?" Athrun asked softly, almost like a whisper.

"Whaa.." Cagalli was startled and turned around to see the blue haired boy. "Why are you here?"

Athrun could tell something trouble the girl. "I came to apologize." Cagalli now give him her full attention. "I shouldn't have bu--"

Cagalli's face seemed to soften up a bit. "It is alright," she had cut him off. "I shouldn't have over-reacted. I guess I just didn't want to loose the bet."

Athrun chuckled as he remembered what Lacus and Mirry had told them.

"Why are laughing? What's so funny?" He's really weird.

"Oh, nothing." A small smile was seen on his face.

Nothing is such an annoying answer.

There was a slight pause. "I'm sorry once again," Athrun had said, hoping for the girl to forgive him. She's pretty cute when she's angry though he had to admit.

"Yeah, you are forgiven," Cagalli responded.

Athrun sighed in relief. Thank god.

"Oh," Cagalli started. Athrun once again looked back up to her. "We haven't properly introduced ourselves." With that, she stood up and put out her hand. "Hi, my name is Cagalli Yula Attha and also twin brother of Kira Yamato. I love sports and have a short temper, which you probably know by now."

Athrun laughed and shook her hand. "My name is Athrun Zala and I prefer quieter conditions….friends?"

Cagalli nodded her head. "Yeah I guess we are. Besides, you are my brother's so called 'best friend.' I have to get used to you," she said teasingly.

"That hurts," complained Athrun.

Cagalli only grinned. "You'll have to find a way to deal with me too." With that, she ran off to talk to Kira and her friends.

Athrun sighed. There's something real interesting about you Cagalli Yula Attha. Then he as well went back to the living room.

Cagalli had then appeared in the living room. The three introducing friends just looked up to her and looked at the hallway. Where was Athrun?

As if answering their question, Athrun had walked up to them. Why are they all staring at me?

"So…" Kira started. "Did you guys settle your differences."

Cagalli hesitated and soon answered with a simple yes.

The three of them were so relieved, Kira the most. Two of his closest friends would now try to get along. Finally.

"Well," Kira had stated again, "we should better go get some rest. I want to sleep all night and day tomorrow. Bye and good night"

"Yeah," Athrun said. "Good night all."

The two of them were just about to leave the room until Athrun exclaimed, "Oh wait! I forgot something."

"What is it?"

"We have to go back inside. I don't want to explain this twice."

"Sure." Kira was confused.

Then the two reappeared in the living room.

"What is it now?" Cagalli complained. "We need to rest too you know."

Kira nudged Athrun. "Uh well….there's a dance tomorrow for all of the freshmen."

"WHAT!!" all three girls screamed.
