Nerds-To-Go Chapter 5

"God why am I such an idiot!" Cagalli said whacking her face on a menu. Lacus frowned.

"Are you still worried about that?" Lacus asked. It was the next day and they were preparing to open the grille. Cagalli groaned.

"Of course I'm still worried about that," Cagalli said. "I made a complete fool of myself! He must know that my computer wasn't really broken. I feel like such an idiot.," she said whining. She pulled some chairs down off of the table.

"Well I'm sure you'll never see him again," Lacus offered. Cagalli frowned. She wasn't exactly sure if that was what she wanted. Cagalli puffed out her cheeks.

"Well I'm not sure that's alright with me!" she snorted angrily.

"What do you mean Cagalli?" she asked.

"I mean…" she paused. She had really liked Athrun. Sure, she hadn't known him for a very long time, but she still had found him enjoyable.

"Do you really like him?" Lacus asked leaning trying to get Cagalli to face her. Cagalli kept continually glancing away so Lacus wouldn't notice her blushing furiously. "Cags…" Lacus said smiling. "C'mon tell me! I'm practically your sister," Lacus continued to prod Cagalli for information.

"Ok, ok, ok, maybe I do have some feelings for the guy. Look he's attractive and I think there was some minor chemistry…or…whatever," Cagalli said and finally gave up trying to put her feelings into words.

"Alright seriously, Cagalli."

"What?"

"Go for it," Lacus stated.

"C'mon Lacus. Please don't say that. You SAW him yesterday, didn't you?" Cagalli said with a depressed sigh. "He was with that really cute girl, you know the one with the cute purple pigtails?" Cagalli said in aggravation.

"So win him over! I know you can do it! I mean I've never seen you talk about a guy this much. Seriously, you need to just go for it." Yzak walked over and eve-dropped in on their conversation.

"But how can I?" Cagalli snorted. Yzak approached

"Where did this pessimism come from? You were always telling me to ask Shiho out on a date and now…look we're together," he said, "you need to go to him." Cagalli was utterly speechless. Joule was giving her advice? She wanted to laugh, but part of her knew he was right. She was always so great at giving advice online, but when it came to herself, she was a complete failure.

"I hate to say it Joule, but I think you might be right," she said.

"Nicol, let's be honest," Athrun began at breakfast that morning. "You like Meyrin," he stated. Nicol blushed furiously.

"N…no she's your girlfriend," he said quietly.

"No, she's not my girlfriend. We went on one date." Nicol glanced away.

"Okay…I'll admit it. I think she's sweet and funny and friendly…"

"In other words, you like her," Athrun stated. Nicol chuckled a bit.

"Yeah I guess you could say that," he said rubbing his head. Athrun stood up and put his cereal bowl in the dishwasher. He sighed and turned to face Nicol.

"Then why did you convince ME to ask her out?" Athrun asked slightly aggravated.

"Well, cause I could tell she really liked you and I wanted her to be happy. Did you enjoy your date?" he asked.

"Nicol! You're not getting my point! I want YOU to ask Meyrin on a date," he said pointing at Nicol. "YOU really like her, so YOU should be the one to ask her out. Not convincing ME to," Athrun said forcefully. Nicol was slightly shocked, he had never seen Athrun so intense.

"Ok I'll do it. But won't she be expecting you to ask her again?" Nicol pointed out. Athrun paused. This was a true point. Meyrin would probably be slightly confused if Nicol just randomly asked her out, especially since she'd just been with Athrun last night.

"True," Athrun said. "I don't want to hurt her feelings though…" he said quietly. "I mean we aren't technically dating. I could tell her that I just want to be friends or that I found someone else?"

"We could double date! And she'll realize that you are into someone else!" Nicol suggested.

"That's a brilliant idea Nicol…but who am I supposed to ask?" Athrun said with a touch of sarcasm. Nicol frowned, but sighed. He knew Athrun was right. Athrun stood up and they began to make their way to work. Nicol was silent the entire ride and Athrun assumed he was struggling to find someone for him to ask on their double date.

(line break)

"Ok, ok, " Cagalli said taking deep breaths as she stood outside of the building where Athrun work. She didn't even really know what she was doing there exactly. She wanted to talk to Athrun again, that was basically the reason she was here. "Shit," she cursed. She didn't actually have anything to say to him. She figured she could describe a problem with her computer or something. She groaned and threw her hands up in the air. "Ah forget it! I'll just go," she said and began to turn around. She stopped and turned around. "But I'm already here," she said arguing with herself. She began to walk towards the building again. She stopped once more and turned around again. This time she turned to face Athrun.

"Cagalli?" Athrun said.

"A…Athrun!" she said shocked.

Athrun was thoroughly shocked to see Cagalli. He honestly had never expected to see her again. It wasn't that he didn't want to see her, but it just didn't seem probable.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Oh I was just coming here to talk to you….about my computer," she said awkwardly.

"Alright," Athrun began. "What's up with it?" he said. Cagalli could feel her heart pounding. Everything she had thought so intensely about it seem to just fly from her head.

"Oh…this and that…it keeps shutting off and then turning back on…and sometimes pages won't load…typical…computer…problems," she said trailing off. She laughed. "Sorry."

"It sounds like you need a new computer," Nicol said.

"No!" Cagalli said. "I mean…no, I don't mind having it fixed."

"Alright well why don't you bring it in tomorrow," Athrun suggested. "Or I can come by again, but it's usually cheaper to just bring it in," he said.

"And while your at it, how about you join me and my girlfriend and Athrun for dinner," Nicol said suddenly. Cagalli gasped silently. She wasn't sure if she had heard Nicol correctly.

"What?' Cagalli and Athrun said at the same time. Nicol elbowed Athrun. "Oh…good," he whispered. "Yeah, Nicol invited me to dinner with his girlfriend and him and I was hoping to find a date and…like fate here you are!" he said lamely. Cagalli chuckled.

"Ok, sounds like fun! I'll see you tomorrow," she said.

"Right see you tomorrow," he said as she got back into her car and shut the door.

"Nice plan," Athrun stated. "I would never have thought of that," Athrun said. "I don't know. I know I've only talked to her a few time but when Cagalli is around I freeze up and I can't really think clearly."

"Then I see that I made the right choice, you clearly want to get to know her better," Nicol said. Athrun paused. Maybe Nicol was right and maybe Cagalli had showed up here just to see him. She always acted kinda silly when he was around anyway. She didn't really seem to know what she was talking about with her computer..

"Yeah…" Athrun nodded. "Yeah you made a great choice."

"Cool, now I just got to work up the courage to ask Meyrin to join us," Nicol said.

"Well speak of the devil. C'mon you asked someone out for me, you can do it for you," Athrun said and pushed Nicol towards her desk.

"H…hey...Meyrin."

"Oh, Good morning Nicol!" she said cheerfully and smiled. Nicol began to stand up straight.

"Ok," he said. "So for almost all year, I've been trying to…you know, work up the courage to ask you out," he began and suddenly he felt like he couldn't stop talking. "But so I knew that you liked Athrun so I urged him to ask you out and he did and then I felt so stupid because I wanted to be on that date with you! So I was wondering…if you're not mad or anything that you would join me and Athrun for a double date?' Nicol said quickly in one breath. Meyrin looked at him and blinked a few times. She was completely shocked.

"Wow. I'm totally speechless," she said quietly. "And I just went on a date with…Athrun…wouldn't that be kinda weird?" she asked. Athrun decided to slip in.

"Of course not! I would be there and really! It's not weird!" Athrun said.

"Alright then, sounds like it will be fun," Meyrin said.

"Great!" Nicol said and walked with Athrun to their office. "YES!" he cheered.

"I told you it'd be fine!" Athrun said.

"Lacus, Lacus, Lacus," Cagalli cheered as she dashed into the restaurant after her lunch break.

"Let me guess, he asked you out?" Lacus said.
"You're no fun! You ruined it!" she said.

"Ah but that's great!" Lacus said hugging her friend.

"Yeah we're double dating tomorrow night and I'm so excited!"

"I can only imagine," Lacus giggled with Cagalli.

Hello all! It's time for everyone's favorite question and answer session!

Your Corner

Dear Precious Rose,

I really love your blog and I was especially excited when I saw you were writing about long-distance relationships. My girl friend and I have been together for quite awhile, but we don't live together and we maintain our long-distance relationship, but I must agree with you. It is very hard and I miss her a lot. But you know, I again agree with you on the fact that it is always ten times greater, when you are together!

-In Love

Dear In Love,

One of my favorite things to hear is that people are happily in love. It's great that you and your girl are together and maintain your relationship. I hope it keeps up and you girl are happy for a long time!

Dear Rose

Long-Distance relationships always suck. They never last, don't even bother.

-Broken hearted.

Dear Broken hearted,

I am sorry that you feel that way. I'm going to assume you've been on the bad end of a terrible long-distance relationship. Just remember that everyone is different. So maybe it didn't work for you one time, but don't give up a good thing just because one time the long-distance went wrong!

Dear PR

Long distance relationships are really tricky. I've never actually been in one, but I must say that it must be unbelievably difficult and I have a lot of respect for people who are able to make it work. My sister is in a long distance relationship right now and I'm really proud of her and her boyfriend, because they work so hard to keep their love alive.

-respect

Dear Respect

It's always great to hear that people are happy. I'm happy that you are able to respect people for trying to keep love alive. I love hearing that people love love!

Alright grab your boyfriend/girlfriend and two others and make your way to the nearest restaurant! That's right, tonight's topic is Double Dating. Why is Double Dating good? Well I will give you a great reason. It's a great way to break the ice. Since it isn't just you and one other person you have a lot more to talk about and a lot less chances for those dreaded awkward silences. It's great way to get to know someone and also sometimes it's a great way to help a friend meet someone new. Why is Double Dating bad? Not many reasons why, but I guess if your really looking for a reason not to, then perhaps one could say that it takes away from personal one on one time. But why not just do that after? Double dating is a step down from a party! So grab your friends and you friends' friends and hit the nearest restaurant or theme park or something fun and give it a try. You never know until you try! I personally will be attending a double date tomorrow night so wish me luck!

Cagalli clicked post and made her way to her bed, even though she knew she wouldn't sleep she was so excited. This was first date she was going to go on in awhile. Not only that she was going with a guy who she actually really liked and she really hoped it would work it.

Once again i apologize for the wait! I love you guys! oh and sorry for the line breaks i still can't get them to work! 3 please R&R
