AN: Well, here's the next chapter. Heh... I think it's my best one yet...


CHAPTER II WATER BALLOONS, STRANGE

PAIRINGS AND SECRET DATES

Back to the Water Balloon Fight…

"OH, LORDY! IT'S THE END OF ALL HUMANITY!" Kira cried just before someone nailed him in the face with a water balloon. "Ouchie!" He cried falling back. "THAT'S FOR EVERYTHING, YOU WEIRDO!" Athrun shouted, throwing another water balloon at him. "Athrun… I thought we were friends…" He cried, tears welling up in his eyes. "We're only friends because I feel sorry for you," Athrun answered. "Eh, that's as good as my mom said I'd have it," Kira said shrugging. Athrun threw another one in his face and went to find Nicol.

He found him sitting in the corner of the gym, soaking wet.

"What happened to you?" Athrun asked. "Twenty people just came at me with water balloons… I'm cold… I'm wet…… everyone hates me…… and Yzak's going to kill me…" Nicol said hysterically as someone threw a water balloon in his face. "He's going to kill you, why?" He asked while the fight raged on. "I was supposed to keep the water balloons… so… we could wreak havoc on Mr. Leam later…" Nicol answered. "Well, okay. But do me a favor and next time you see Yzak, throw this water balloon in his face, will ya?" Athrun said, handing Nicol a water balloon. "All right… if you say so… but I think you should know… if I do… he'll be even more angry!" Nicol wailed. "I think through his anger-management classes he'll come to forgive you," Athrun said smirking. Nicol just continued to wail.

"Leave him alone!" Came a sudden shout. It was Fllay. She came running through the crowd- and boy oh boy, it was one hell of a sick sight to see. She was wearing a pink T-shirt and nothing underneath… if you catch my drift… she wasn't wearing something that ALL young ladies should wear. –You fill in the blanks. And to add to that fact she was wearing a pink T-shirt with nothing underneath, it was soaking wet from water balloons

Fllay dropped to her knees, threw her arms around Nicol and held him close. "Whoa, baby… the wet T-shirt contests are over in slutville, not here…" Athrun said. Fllay glared at him. "You leave Nicol alone, Zala…"

"What? No- he made himself cry…" He said. "Umm… I don't think you should be here with me…" Nicol spoke up. "Why?" She asked. "My parents said it's for the best… and the wellbeing of my body…" He answered. "Well, your parents aren't here," Fllay stated. "True… but this restraining order is," Nicol answered, pulling a restraining order against her out of his pocket and showing it to her. She snatched it from him and tried to rip it- but she couldn't. "It's laminated," Nicol said as-a-matter-of-factly. Rolling her eyes, she tossed it off and then just kissed him deeply. "Oh… geez… this is weird…" Athrun said, watching in disbelief as they kissed. Nicol's eyes were wide open, but then they eventually closed and he just decided to enjoy it.

Athrun sighed then sulked off into the crowd, getting hit by three stay water balloons in the process. Man… did he ever wish he had a girlfriend…

In The Back Of the Gym…

Lacus, Miriallia and Shiho all hurried through the exit. "It's insane in there…" Lacus sighed. "Has anyone seen Dearka?" Miriallia asked with worry. "Did you see Yzak? …Oh, that was so hot…" Shiho said dreamily. Lacus sighed again. "Do you think you could stop thinking about your crushes long enough to figure out how to get some order back to this place?"

"Order?" Shiho asked. "Leave that to the teachers."

Just then, the doors to the entrance of the school opened and Yzak walked inside. As he passed them, Shiho spoke up. "Yzak-"

He was quick to cut her off. "Restraining order."

She closed her mouth sadly.

When Yzak entered the gym, he stared in disbelief. "NICOL!" He screamed.

Nicol, who was in the midst of making out with Fllay, quickly broke away from her and ran to Yzak.

"What the HELL did you do!" He shouted furiously. "Um… I kinda got mad and threw some water balloons into the crowd… then everyone took all the water balloons and now they're having a huge fight…" Nicol said quickly. Yzak glared. "YOU INCOMPEDENT MORON!"

Taking this as his opportunity, Nicol threw the water balloon that Athrun had given him right in his face. "AH! NICOL! WHAT THE HELL! NOW I'M SOAKED! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!" Yzak screamed. "Athrun told me to do it!" Nicol cried. "Ugh… Zala… he is so dead…" He growled. "Where's Mr. Leam?" Nicol asked timidly. "I think he got lost in the subdivision somewhere… but chasing me for sixteen blocks really settled him down... to some extent," Yzak answered.

Suddenly, the second set of gym doors flew open. There stood Mr. Leam. When he saw all of his students were soaking wet, he just stared. The gym fell silent and no more water balloons were thrown. "All right… all of you go home… I'm not in the mood to deal with this right now… so, I'm going to lie down and mull over how much pandemonium a silver-haired, scar-faced, short-tempered little bastard can cause," He said. "NOW GO!"

Everyone flocked out of the school as quickly as possible.

Out in the School Yard, 10:30…

"Hey, Kira," Athrun began as they walked out of the school and towards home. "You haven't found a girl for me yet, have you?"

"No, why?" Kira asked. "Oh, just wondering…" Athrun said. "Don't worry, Athrun. I'll find the perfect girl for you, just wait and see," Said Kira smiling. "I sure hope you do…" He thought with a sigh.

At Kira and Cagalli's "PLACE."

Cagalli groaned as she pulled her blankets up over her. Yesterday, she'd felt well enough to call Yzak and ask him out. When she did, his reply was a: "I'll think about it."

He still hadn't called her back. Now she was pretty sure he was just shunning her. "Stupid Yzak…" She thought. Sure it was hot to see him treating someone badly, but not when it was her he was treating badly. Now Cagalli could really care less about him. He was a jerk.

"Hey, Cagalli?" There was knocking on the door. She knew it was Kira. "Can I come in?" He asked. "Knock yourself out…" She muttered. "No, I think I'll just come in," He answered, opening the door and walking inside. "Idiot…" She thought irritably. "Are you hungry? Mom wanted me to ask…" Kira said. "No, if I eat anything I'll just be puking it up five minutes later," Cagalli answered. "Wow, this is a really bad flu… you've had it for almost five days now," He stated. "I think I'm okay, actually. I just have a headache…" She said, "And a bit of a stomach cramp."

"So do you think you could get up and do some housework?" Kira asked. She laughed. "Not bloody likely."

"But I thought you said you're okay… doesn't that make you capable?" He asked. "Sure I'm capable, I just don't want to," Cagalli said. "Okay… I'll do the housework, then…" He muttered. "Umm… Kira… I've got ask you something…" She said suddenly. "All right, go ahead," Kira said. "Well… I've been kind of minus a boyfriend lately… so… I was wondering if you could hook me up with one," She said. Kira thought this out. "Hm… Cagalli needs a boyfriend… why is this familiar-? –Oh, yeah… Athrun needs a girlfriend… so that means… that means… they can do something… but… what-?… Hm… what could it be…… Hm…… Oh! I've got it! They can go on a date! With EACHOTHER! OH! This is the bestest idea I've ever had! But I've got to keep who their dates are confidential… wow... confidential... I didn't know I knew that word... I'M A GENIUS!"

"Um… Kira? Are you in there?" Cagalli asked, waving her hand in front of his face. "Oh, hang on, I think I can get you a boyfriend right this minute, just excuse me for a second," Kira said. He ran out of the room, down the stairs and grabbed the phone. "MOM! CAN I USE THE PHONE!" He called. "NO!" She answered. "OKAY! THANK YOU!" Kira said dialing Athrun's number. The phone rang once… twice… three times… Athrun picked up. "What is it, Kira?"

"Athrun! I think I've got a girlfriend for you! Can you meet her at 8:00 tonight in the park? Say… under that really old, tall maple tree?" Kira asked. "Oh… Sure…" A surprised Athrun replied. "Okay! Good! BYE!" He hung up then ran back up the stairs and into Cagalli's room. "Yeah, you've got a boyfriend. As long as you can agree to meet him under that old, tall maple tree in the park at 8:00 tonight!" Kira said enthusiastically. "Wow that was fast… and yes, I can meet him tonight… at 8:00… in the park… under the tall, old maple tree…" She said slowly. "Awesome! Aren't I great?" Kira said smiling. "Well… just because you did one thing right doesn't mean you can get cocky," Cagalli muttered. "Yeah, you're right… but- Hey! I've done more than one thing right!" He shouted. "Okay, tell me. What else have you done right?" She challenged. He thought. "Um… well there was that time- no wait... that was you... uh... maybe you're right… but that doesn't matter right now! You owe me!"

"So… what do you want?" Cagalli asked. "For you to get out of bed." He smirked. "And do all my chores."

She sighed. "Fine… but I'm not doing anything else for you!"

At the Park under THAT Tree, 8:00 P.M…

Cagalli sighed once she got to the tree. Her new boyfriend wasn't there yet.

"Funny," She thought smirking, "The one time I, Cagalli Yula Athha, hate being first."

She sat down and laid back in the grass. A soft wind blew. It was so… peaceful… She loved that…

Two minutes later that peace was disturbed when she heard the sound of someone walking towards her. Quickly, she opened her eyes and stood up.

When he was about a metre in front of her, they both stared in disbelief.

"Cagalli!" Athrun shouted in shock.

"Athrun!" Cagalli shouted, equally as shocked. Then they both screamed in anger: "KIRA!"
