Chapter 3

Another week went by and soon enough for Kira, it was Saturday. Today he had his date with Lacus. He was planning to take her to an Italian restaurant before going to the cinema. He was wearing jeans with a black shirt. He didn't know how to dress for a date and had followed his sister advice (although she's never gone on a date either).

Lacus was getting ready as well. She decided to wear a pink dress with matching shoes and put a blue ribbon in her hair. Her mate saw her and began laughing.

"What's with your outfit? I am getting an overdose of pink." exclaimed Meer, the most hateful mate according to Cagalli. Well, maybe second after Flay. Talking about Cagalli, she entered the room with Shiho and Miriallia.

"Shut up, you whore!"

"Hey!! Who said you could enter without even knocking?"

"Lacus," exclaimed Miriallia, "you look so beautiful! Kira will go crazy over you!"

"Are you sure?" Lacus didn't know what to think after what Meer had just said. The girls had been out earlier in the afternoon to buy a dress for Lacus.

"Yes I am, don't worry, you're perfect."

"Wait a minute, Meer interfered, are you having a date with Kira Hibiki! No way"

Meer didn't understand why he had chosen Lacus Clyne. They had maybe the same looking but she was way much more fun and interesting.

"You've got a problem with that?" Cagalli said, getting more and more angry.

Meer didn't want to stay in the room with an angry Cagalli and decided to go look for Flay to tell her the news.

Kira was waiting for Lacus at the school gate. Don't be so nervous. It's just a date for God sake. He was pacing while waiting for her. He tried to remember what Athrun had told him regarding dating the day before. Then Lacus arrived and he forgot everything. She was so beautiful, even more than usual. He approached her and gave her a flower he had picked up in the school garden.

"Thank you, Kira."

They walked to the bus stop in silence. Both were very uncomfortable so Lacus decided to speak.

"So Kira, where are you taking me?", she asked curious.

"You'll see, when we get there. I hope you'll like it."

The bus arrived and Lacus grabbed Kira's arm.

"Let's go." she said very enthusiastically.

"Y-yeah."

The girls were seated in the students' hall. They were playing card, after her shopping afternoon.

"I'd like to have a boyfriend." suddenly said Miriallia.

"Is there anyone you're interested in?" asked Cagalli.

"Not really, it's just that it's nice to have someone to rely on, and have fun with."

"Friends are here for that."

"What do you do about the kissing part?"

"Guys like Dearka are here for that."

They looked at each other and then laughed.

"Are you girls talking about me?"

Dearka had just arrived and took a seat next to Miriallia. Yzak was following and sat next to him. Although, they didn't like his playboy side, the girls had grown to appreciate Dearka. Since Yzak was his friend they couldn't avoid him. Anyway Yzak didn't say much except when it was to fight with Shiho or Cagalli.

"Don't' think you're the centre of all discussions.", said Cagalli

Dearka just smirked, as usual and then noticed they were playing cards.

"What are you playing at? Strip poker?"

The girls ignored his question and Cagalli decided to tease Yzak.

"Hey, Silver hair, where is your beautiful fiancée?

"First, I have a name Blondie. Second, don't talk to me about this freaking woman. The farther she is the better."

"When is expected the marriage?"

"Shut up"

"If you need a photograph for this special day, just give me a call. I'll make you a good price." added Miriallia.

"SHUT UP", Yzak was becoming redder by seconds. Then suddenly, Shiho stood up and walked out of the room. The group looked at her and then to Cagalli. She just sighed before getting up as well.

"I'll see you guys later." She followed her friend who was walking toward the exit of the building. She caught up to her.

"Shiho, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted some fresh air." said Shiho without looking at her friend.

"Don't give me that, I know you for too long. Have you been having nightmares lately?"

Shiho didn't answer and Cagalli knew she had guessed right. She just put one arm around Shiho's shoulders and they stayed a moment like that in silence.

From afar, Yzak was watching at the girls. He had found Shiho's silence quiet suspicious as since they knew each other, they wouldn't stop fighting. What's with that girl? Women are so freaking annoying. He turned around and returned in his room.

Kira and Lacus arrived at the restaurant. They sat and looked at the menu. Kira was feeling shy again and was using the menu as a shelter to avoid Lacus eyes. When the waitress finally came, he had no other choice than to "affront" her. Lacus found that really funny and couldn't retain her giggles.

"Sorry Kira, you look so funny! Am I wrong or is this the first time you go out with a girl."

"W-well..." Kira blushed.

"You don't need to be this shy Kira, just relax.", tried to reassured Lacus.

"It's just that I am afraid of doing mistakes."

"Don't, let's just have fun and enjoy our evening together." Lacus smiled and Kira decided to release some pressure.

Soon, their food arrived and they started talking like old friends. After dinner, they went to the cinema and Kira's stress came back. How am I supposed to act with her in the dark? Should I take her hand? Or try to kiss her? No, not on a first date!!

"Kira, are you OK?" asked Lacus.

Kira noticed they were in the theatre. Lacus was starring at him. Damn it, she'll take me for a fool!

"Yeah, I am fine sorry."

"Ok."

She led him through a row to get good seats. Too rapidly for Kira, the light went off and the screen on. He was tensed and it didn't get better as the main character of the movie were fighting for their love and kissing just a LOT. He took a quick glance at Lacus and he saw that she was really taken into the movie. He sighed in relief. It seems that she wasn't expecting anything from him. So he decided to enjoy the movie as well. He was getting more and more interesting in it, when he felt something on his shoulder. Lacus had laid her head against him. He hadn't expecting her to take the first move. Well, maybe it was for the best considering how shy he was. He relaxed once again and rested his head against hers. After the movie, they headed back to school. When the moment to say good night came, Kira didn't know what to do.

"I had a wonderful evening, Kira", said Lacus. Kira had been quite nervous all the time and she was wondering if he would go on another date with her.

"Me too, Lacus." With that, he bent and kissed her check.

Both went as red as tomatoes and they quickly wished goodnight and went their separate ways.

Lacus had reached her door when she was pulled by Cagalli and she had no other choice than to follow her. They entered Miriallia, where she was waiting with Shiho.

"Here she is!" exclaimed Miriallia.

"Now, Lacus, you seat and tell us everything." commanded Cagalli.

"Well", began Lacus, "there is nothing much to say."

"Oh come on! Did you kiss?"

3 pairs of eyes were stuck at Lacus face.

"Well, Kira did kiss my cheek."

"Wow, I would have never thought my brother would have the guts to kiss a girl." laughed Cagalli.

They went with the details, until they got tired and decided to go to bed.

The next morning, the girls met for breakfast. They had sleepy heads because of their late talking.

"Hey girls, shall we do something today?" asked Shiho.

"Why not, but what?"

"Hey, I heard someone talk about an amusement park. It could be fun!", proposed Miriallia.

"Oh yeah, I love amusement park!" said Cagalli, suddenly very awake.

"Let's ask Athrun and Kira to come with us."

One hour later, the girls were waiting for the boys at the gate. They finally arrived, followed by Dearka and Yzak.

"Hey, exclaimed Shiho, what are they doing here?"

"We invited them, do you girls mind." asked Kira.

"YES" yelled Cagalli and Shiho.

"Come on girls, the more the merrier." said Athrun

Shiho mumbled something.

"If you have something to say, just spit it out." yelled Yzak.

"I won't waste my breath for you!" With that she turned around and began walking toward the bus stop.

"Damn this woman!" cursed Yzak. Dearka laughed. He wasn't used to see his friend not having the last word.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the amusement park. During the bus ride, Yzak and shiho hadn't stopped fighting. The park was crowded with teenagers.

"What should we do first?" asked Cagalli, "I want to ride this one!!" Cagalli was jumping like a little girl as she was pointing at the biggest roller coaster they had ever seen. It had many loops, and some part was hidden in a dark tunnel. Lacus face went completely white.

"I am not going in there."

"Come on, Lacus. It'll be fun!" insisted Cagalli.

"I am not sure if I want to go either", said Miriallia.

"What's with this fearful women?" exclaimed Dearka, taking Miriallia's hand. "I'll ride with you." He led her to the queue and the others followed.

"Lacus, if you don't want to go in, that's ok." reassured Kira.

"No, I'll go!" she said with determination.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah!"

They took their seats. Athrun was somewhat disappointed to see Cagalli seat next to Shiho. That meant that he was stuck next to Yzak. Lacus grabbed Kira's hand and didn't let it go before she had her two feet back on the ground. Kira was feeling as she had broken his hand but didn't show it.

"That was just awesome."

"It's not the word I would have used." said Miriallia still a little bit dizzy.

"Yeah, you almost made me deaf at yelling as you did." complained Dearka.

"Well, SORRY, but I told you I didn't want to go in the first place."

"What about we let Miriallia and Lacus chose the next attraction?" proposed Shiho.

"Sounds good to me", said Athrun.

"Ok, so… what shall we do?" Lacus looked around her to see what could be fun. "Ah, this one!"

Everybody turned their head to see the mirror castle. (I don't know how it is called in english, it's a maze with glasses everywhere.)

"You're kidding, right?" asked Dearka.

"He, no, why?"

"There's no way I am going in there!" said Yzak.

"Ho, the so great Yzak Jule is afraid to get lost." mocked Shiho.

"What? Ok then let's see who is getting out of there first, woman!"

"Ok!"

They practically run to the cashier and the others followed. Ten minutes after they had entered, Lacus was out with a very happy Shiho. She was making fun of Yzak as he was completely lost. Soon, Miriallia found the exit with Dearka on her heals as he had followed her, not wanting to make a full of himself. Then, Cagalli, Kira and Ahtrun. Yzak was the last one inside. He saw his friends laugh at him.

"I should have bet money." said Shiho watching Yzak struggling to find the exit. They had to wait another fifteen minutes before Yzak found the exit.

"It's about time", mocked Dearka.

"Shut up!"

"This is the day when the great Yzak Jule has been defeated by not one woman but FOUR women!!" added Shiho.

"SHUT UP!!!!!"

Shiho just laughed as they walked toward another attraction.

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

Flay was with her best friend Meer at the amusement park.

"Look at how Yzak look at her!"

"Well" begin Meer, "he looks at her pretty angrily. No?"

"Yeah, but he never looked at me in the eyes like he do with her."

"Do you think he is interested by her?"

Considering that he never gives a damn about any woman except his loving mother, I would say yes. I won't let this ugly girl have him. We must do something. What do you think?"

Flay waiting for an answer that never came. She turned her head to see her friend staring at Kira.

"Meer, don't tell me you like this Kira? I admit he is quite good looking but he seems a little bit stupid."

"No, I don't give a damn about him. What I can't stand is that he chose this Lacus over me. Look at her in her pink clothes. How can he find her more attractive than me?"

"Seems like we will have a lot to do!" Flay smiled to herself.
