-His Favorite Things- Chapter 2 - Tunnel Of Confusion -

-October 29th, CE 75- Location: Country of Orb , Attha Estate. Time: 11am -

Cagalli grinned from ear to ear as she looked over the list in her hands for what seemed to be the tenth time that minute: "So...number one on this list is: 1."Find an amusement park and take a ride on the tunnel of love with a random person...just for fun." The golden-haired goddess of victory's amber eyes widened at that as she thought: "With a random person?!"... "Is he looking to get paired with a girl?!..." She mentally slapped herself: "Duh Cagalli...that's the whole point of the ride. Hmmm...but how can I change that?" A devilish smile formed on her lips: "I know just the way." She grabbed her wallet and cell phone off the counter, then called for her bodyguard Kisaka to bring her car out of the garage. She placed her sunglasses on and let them rest at the bridge of her nose as she peered out from under them: "If I know him well enough, I know just the amusement park he'd go to around here."

-30 Minutes later at an amusement park 10 minutes away from the Athha Estate -

Cagalli pulled into the parking lot of Orb's largest amusement park. She had a feeling that her red knight would be here because she knew how much he loved riding one of the world's largest scramblers...which happened to be his favorite ride. She also knew how much he loved how beautiful the lights looked on this particular ferris wheel when it was lit up at night. "Now...if I were him...what would I go on first?" She glanced over at what she noticed to be a speck of blue near the tunnel of love ride, at least; she thought it was. Once she got closer, this blue-haired person turned out to be a tall pretty girl with the same color blue hair as Athrun. She laughed to herself as she thought: "I'd better not tell Athrun that I mistook him for a girl. He's so sensitive about his appearance sometimes." She looked to her left and in the far distance, she noticed another dot of blue hair. As fate would have it, as the figure came into focus, she recognized the outfit to be that of Athrun's. She made sure to duck behind vending stands as she quietly tailed him.

In the meantime, Athrun kept glancing behind him as he had a strange feeling he was being watched...and he was right. He knew the minute he saw the slightest bit of golden hair peeking out from behind a fried dough stand, that his golden-haired desert rose had been following him for at least 20 minutes now. He smirked slightly as he thought to himself: "I knew she wouldn't be able to resist this...she's just too curious sometimes...it's too easy." ... "Well...let's see...what ride should I go on first?"... "I can't just go right on the tunnel of love, she'll figure things out right away if I do that." The cunning Coordinator stood there for a minute as he plotted out his course of action in his head. He then glanced to his right and noticed his favorite ride...the scrambler, and it was then that a wicked smile crossed his face as he slowly walked up to the ride, stepped into one of the seats, and sat down. He once again glanced behind him quickly and noticed that Cagalli had followed him on the ride a mere three seats behind him and seated next to a little boy with a melting ice-cream cone in his small hands. As the ride started up, all Athrun could do was chuckle at the goddess of victory's horrified face as the child's ice-cream cone fell right into her lap.

It was five minutes of hell to Cagalli as she noticed the pink stain that fell on her favorite cargo pants spreading farther and farther. She gritted her teeth throughout the entire ride and finally took out her rage by leaving a large dent in a nearby tree with her fist once she had gotten off.

Meanwhile, Athrun had calmly gotten off the ride and was having a hard time containing his laughter as he thought while he made his way towards the tunnel of love: "Okay..." ... "Now that I've got her warmed up...time for the real birthday fun to begin."

As she tried to get the stain out of her pants with some water from a nearby fountain, Cagalli hissed to herself as she rubbed at the pink smudge: "I can't believe they let that kid on there with food!"... "Don't these damn rides have rules?!" She sighed heavily and shook it off: "Okay...okay...calm down Cagalli..."... "Don't let something so ridiculously stupid get to you."... "Just do what you came here to do." She glanced over her shoulder and noticed Athrun was now standing on line to get into the tunnel of love ride. She smirked to herself as she watched him so innocently standing on line: "Lucky for me my friend Ahmed happens to be in charge of this ride today...he can sneak me in." She approached her friend grinning from ear to ear and pulled him aside: "Hey...come with me for a sec...I have a favor to ask you." The handsome brunette nodded as Cagalli began to whisper some of her plot to him and he responded: "Gee...I don't know. I could get in trouble with my boss for this..." He looked around for any signs of his employer and then flashed her his trademark polite smile: "Ehhh...what he doesn't know won't hurt him...here...take a seat right in this one. I'm positive your guy is next in line, so you should be set to go. All that's left to do is wait." Cagalli nodded and thanked her friend as he went to let the next few people on the ride.

As Athrun was led down the ride's dark entryway with Ahmed and the rest of the few people the boy had gather, he snickered to himself with a small smirk on his face: "I saw her con Ahmed into sneaking her back here, so I know that she's gotta be the third one down." He casually approached the third small swan boat, stepped carefully into it, and sat down next to the shadowy figure he knew to be his golden haired princess. He smiled and placed his hand over hers...she didn't try to retract it like she usually did, in fact; he felt her slide closer to him, which caused his face to flush slightly at her boldness. He was just about to place his other arm around her shoulder when he heard the voice of the person sitting next to him: "Oh wow Lacus...you sure are bold today..." Athrun's emerald eyes widened and as he felt his heart sink into his shoes, he exclaimed to himself: "Kira?!" The red knight's face then paled a ghostly white as he felt his friend place his hand on his leg and whisper in his ear in a soft voice that was usually reserved when he was talking sweet to Lacus: "I like it." Athrun felt as if he were going to be sick as he thought: "Damn it Kira!"... "It's pretty obvious that I'm not Lacus!"... "Oh wait...it's dark in here. Even the great super Coordinator is as blind as a bat in the dark." Athrun heaved a heavy sigh: "Oh well...at least he doesn't appear to be trying to get any farther." As soon as that thought crossed Athrun's mind, he felt Kira's other arm drape over his shoulders as he whispered: "Don't worry Lacus...I'll protect you from the darkness." Athrun rolled his eyes:"Yeah...right..."... "Isn't this the same Kira that asks me to turn on his night light before he goes to bed?"... "For that matter...is this the same Kira who's so deathly afraid of spiders that he jumps on a chair and orders you to kill it if he even catches a glimpse of one crawling across the floor?" It was at this point that Athrun now felt Kira inching closer as he was clearly trying to turn this ride into his own personal make out place. The red knight's emerald eyes widened in shock as he heard Kira whisper: "How about you give me one kiss for courage...you know how much I hate the dark. Please...just one?"... "I...I love you Lacus." Athrun felt a shiver of disgust run down his spine as he silently prayed for something to happen that would stop his worst nightmare from coming true. The gods must have been smiling on the handsome red knight that day, because as fate would have it; the ride came to an abrupt halt and the lights came slowly flickering on. However, even the gods could not have predicted Kira's next swift move. Right before the lights fully flickered on on, Kira planted his most sensuous kiss on his fair songstress's lips...at least...he thought it was Lacus until he heard a shaky and irritated voice hiss: "K...K...Ki...Kira." Kira's violet eyes slowly opened and then widened at the male voice that responded to him. The super Coordinator's face went immediately ghostly pale as he quickly edged his face away from the angry emerald eyed knight: "Oh crap!"... "Athrun?!"... "What are you doing here?!" Athrun eyed his childhood friend, and in as calm a voice as he could muster, he hissed slowly: "Kira...please take your hand off my leg before I throttle you."... "I do like you, but I don't swing that way."

From the swan boat behind the two boys, Cagalli's eyes were as wide as saucers at the site of her red knight and her brother kissing. Lacus, who ended up seated next to Cagalli; appeared to be shocked as well as she then started to giggle: "Oh...Oh my..." Cagalli, as white as a sheet, and without saying a word; made for the head of the small swan boat in preparation to jump onto Athrun's and strangle Kira. Lacus noticed Cagalli's temper flaring up and immediately grabbed her arm to stop her as she spoke in her usual calm tone: "Wait Cagalli...you didn't want him to see you ...right?" Cagalli nodded and grumbled a few incoherent curses under her breath as she reluctantly sat back down next to Lacus. The pink-haired songstress gave her friend a supportive and reassuring smile: "I'm sorry you didn't get to sit next to him." Cagalli heaved a heavy sigh and shook her head: "Ehhh...it's okay."... "At least you didn't try to hold my hand and kiss me." Lacus giggled as she and Cagalli watched Athrun and Kira arguing in the boat ahead of them: "That's true."

Meanwhile, Athrun was fending off what he defined as his "worst nightmare" as Kira eyed him suspiciously and asked in a slightly angry tone: "What are your intentions towards my sister?" Athrun heaved a heavy frustrated sigh before calmly replying: "I'm willing to forget the fact that you just slipped me the tongue if you promise to hear me out on this." Kira flushed an embarrassed shade of red at what had just happened a few minutes before and nodded: "Fine...go...I'm listening." Athrun explained as calmly and coolly as possible: "Alright...like I said...I'll be straight with you. For this entire day long I will be involved in a complicated series of plots that will...culminate...in Cagalli and I having unholy amounts of hot, wild, shake the bed posts, all night long, steamy, kinky sex. We both need this...badly...I can't stress that enough. Now, I am going to ask you as a friend and a loving brother, keep out of this." He got right up in Kira's face and smirked as he finished: "After all...it is my birthday and I can always tell everyone later about our little kiss. I can deal with the embarrassment and the cat calls from Dearkka...the question is...can you?" Kira sat there dumbfounded at his friends bold statement and replied reluctantly: "Okay..."... "Do what you want."... "Just make sure I don't see or hear about it later on." Kira jumped out of the boat and into the water, not caring at this point if his pants got wet as he approached the boat behind them where Lacus and Cagalli appeared to be sitting. Athrun nodded after him and smiled triumphantly: "You've got yourself a deal."

Meanwhile, Cagalli was explaining to Lacus about the list she found. Lacus nodded once she finished hearing Cagalli explain everything: "What's number two on Athrun's list?" Cagalli took the list out of her pocket and read quietly so that only Lacus could hear her: 2. "Have my fortune told." Lacus's baby blue eyes lit up as she smiled, a wonderful idea popping into her head: "Can I help you with this one?" Cagalli eyes her skeptically at first, then nodded: "Yeah...sure...it can't be as bad as watching the two of them make out." Lacus giggled and clapped her hands together in anticipation of what she had planned: "Great!"... "Okay...after this ride is finished, follow me and I'll explain my idea." Cagalli nodded as she watched a giggling Lacus help a slightly drenched Kira into their boat with them. Before either Lacus or Cagalli could say anything, the violet eyed super Coordinator turned a brilliant scarlet, held up his hand, and replied in a tired, embarrassed voice: "I don't ...wanna talk about it."
