Greetings minna! I'm finally back with an update to this hilarious story. Lol All my family time is over for the time being, so until we have another barbecue, I'll have plenty of free time to work on my fanfictions. Okay...enough of my babbling...and let's get to this new chapter! -giggles- Enjoy everyone!

Disclaimer: I do not own GS, GSD, and the AsuCaga sweetness that's about to take place in this story...it would be nice if I did though ne? Lol

-His Favorite Things- Chapter 4 – Model Behavior -

-October 29th, CE 75- Location: Country of Orb , Carnival 10 Miles From The Athha Estate. Time: 1:30pm -

Kira gulped nervously as the mysterious dark-haired girl from Madame Kali's prediction, now stood directly in front of him. He cursed to himself: "Oh damn...and just when I was about to dismiss that fortune as complete bull!"... "Now what do I do?!"

The girl looked up at him with a smile and asked politely: "Would you mind showing me around the place?...I just moved here and I don't know where anything is."

Kira nodded, a nervous, shaky tone to his voice as he replied: "U-uh yeah...sure...okay. Just follow me then."

As Kira and this blue-eyes mystery woman walked around the park, everything appeared to be going normal until the mystery girl took his hand in hers and smiled: "I tend to get lost easily. Do you mind if we hold hands for now?"

Kira felt his pulse begin to quicken as he thought to himself: "Oh...my...god!"... "What the hell is happening?!"... "I shouldn't be reacting to a strange girl this way!"... "I usually only react to Lacus this way...so why am I...?!" He glanced back at the girl who was still awaiting his answer and replied the only way he knew how: "S-sure...it's fine."

The raven-haired girl giggled and brushed a tress of her hair from her face: "You don't have to be so nervous. I won't bite..." She then leaned closer to him and whispered: "...unless you want me too."

Kira's face immediately went from ghostly pale to bright red and his heart nearly leapt into his throat as his inner self was now screaming: "No!"... "No!"... "If this happens then the other guy will surely take Lacus from me!"... "Not to mention...if she ever found out about this, I'm as good as dead cause she, Athrun, and Cagalli will all take turns beating the crap outta me!"

While Kira was struggling desperately with his inner self, the mysterious blue-eyed woman giggled coyly and gently ran her fingers through his hair: "Awww...you're shy...that's adorable!"... "You're cute ...and..." She tickled under his chin and brought her face close to his: "You look incredibly sexy when you're thinking."

Kira, his face bright red; instantly went into panic mode as he pulled his face back quickly and stammered as he lead the dark-haired girl through the crowd: "O-okay...now let me show you where the good sandwich stand is."

-Meanwhile...on the other side of the park-

Athrun Zala was snickering to himself backstage at the modeling contest he had signed up for: "Wait till she sees this whole thing. She has no idea what she'll be getting herself into." He tugged at the collar of the black dress shirt they'd given to him to wear: "I hope she gets here soon...it's getting pretty damn hot backstage."

Cagalli, in the meantime; raced to the stage just in time for her to catch the very beginning of the show. When she caught sight of Athrun in those tight black pants, top button undone, and a black dress shirt unbuttoned all the way to reveal his well-toned chest, her heart nearly did a triple flip. He didn't dress this way at home...so why did he choose here of all places to dress this way?!...and in front of a whole bunch of women nonetheless. She then noticed him stop at the edge of the catwalk, which was coincidentally right in front of her; flashed a devastatingly gorgeous smile in her direction, knelt down, picked up her hand, kissed it, and then whispered hotly: "Nice to see you again...Madame Kali."

Cagalli turned beet red and hissed in a whisper: "I'll get you for that Athrun Zala!"

Athrun simply smirked and whispered: "You have to catch me first." He then slowly stood up, turned gracefully around, walked down the catwalk, and backstage once again.

The golden-haired goddess of victory, with a slight blush on her face; growled as she thought to herself: "Damn it!"... "Why does he have to look so damn hot all the time!"... "How does he expect me to chase him now?...unless..." A small smile spread across her face as she continued her thought: "I can't believe I didn't think of this before!"

She made a mad dash backstage and grabbed the nearest outfit she could find...however...when she emerged from the dressing room and caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror; she exclaimed angrily: "What the hell is this?!" She hadn't taken into account how dark it was back there and in the dressing room as well. Apparently, she had put on a strapless, backless, white wedding dress.

It was in the middle of her panic when she felt gentle hands on her bare shoulders and the cool, calm voice of Athrun Zala whisper: "I knew you'd come back here." Cagalli flashed his smiling face her biggest death glare: "You...you...made sure I got that dress didn't you?!"

Athrun chuckled as he adjusted the tie of his tux: "Nope...I didn't have to. Cagalli...this is a bridal fashion show/modeling competition."

Cagalli's jaw nearly hit the floor as Athrun took her arm and continued in a soft and gentle voice before she could speak: "I always knew you'd look beautiful in a wedding dress."

The golden-haired Lioness turned beet red, her heart nearly jumping into her throat. Once again today, the handsome Coordinator beside her had left her speechless...only this time, she didn't feel like belting him for what he said. She reluctantly walked arm and arm with him out to the main stage, just in time for the announcer to say: "Okay!"... "Here comes the final portion of this bridal modeling contest!"... "The bride here will throw her bouquet and whichever lucky lady catches it, they will be the bride in our next contest held here next week!"

Cagalli took a deep breath to calm herself, then walked to the front of the stage, and tossed the bouquet over her shoulder. She heard a familiar giggle in the crowd as she turned to notice a shocked and pale Kira standing next to a raven-haired girl who was hugging him and exclaiming: "Oh look!"... "I caught it!" Cagalli snickered to herself: "I can't wait to see his face when he finds out who that girl really is."

The announcer interrupted Cagalli's thoughts: "Congrats to the young lady in purple!"... "...and now for the conclusion of this contest...we will have the audience vote on the best couple...but first...the bride and groom will share a kiss!"

Cagalli's face immediately went as ashen white as Kira's...her heartbeat quickened immensely as she exclaimed to herself: "What the hell?!"... "What kind of contest is this?!"

Without warning, she felt Athrun spin her around into his arms facing him, his haunting emerald orbs gazing lovingly into hers as he brought his mouth closer to hers. He then whispered loud enough for people to hear: "May I ...kiss the bride?"

Cagalli heard a whole bunch of girls squeal as she, as speechless and blushing as ever; nodded and managed to respond with a soft: "Y-yes."

Satisfied with her answer, Athrun inched closer so close she could feel his warm breath on her lips. She closed her eyes in preparation for his sweet kiss, then...just as their lips were practically touching...he pulled back with a smirk and picked her up bridal style, placing a sweet kiss on her forehead instead and replied: "We're the Zala couple #24!"... "Please vote for us okay?"

Cagalli turned bright red in embarrassment and cursed to herself: "Athrun Zala...I'll get you for this!"

Okay minna...I know this was relatively short...but I planned it this way trust me. Lol...I got this whole bridal show idea from a manga I'm reading called "Cherry Juice"...it was a great inspiration to helping me write this chapter. -giggles- poor Kira...he still has no idea who that woman is. Lol..we all know who it is though right? Lol...what will Cagalli do to get her revenge on Athrun...and will Athrun know of her plots ahead of time once again as he seems to be doing? Well...you'll find out in the next installment. See you then! And thank you for your patience! -smiles- Athrun would appreciate very much if you left a review for him so press that little button that says review.-smiles-
