Please tell me what you think about this story; I'm wondering if this story is worse continuing…

Jennifer Artemis : Thanks for the review. I think a Lacus in love is a scary Lacus. I don't know why but I see her like the kind of girl who would just do everything to keep her boyfriend…

Chapter 18

Lacus run to her parents as soon as she saw them. She hugged her mother and kissed her father cheek before grasping one of their hands to lead them toward her friends who were still lost in introductions. Dearka's and Yzak's family were long-time friends as were Kira and Cagalli's with Shiho's who had come together which limited the difficult exercise of remembering who was who. She melted in the chaos and after a few minutes, mothers were chatting about their kids and fathers about politics and business. After a few minutes of chatting, Miriallia's father turned to her daughter.

"Would you introduce me to the one who saved my little girl from the fire a few months ago?" Her father had been impressed by the courage the young boy had shown during the incident and he wasn't going to miss the opportunity to thank him in person. Miriallia turned and pointed at her 'savior'.

"It's him, Dearka." She couldn't help but blush and feel uncomfortable at the whole situation.

Her father extended his hand to the young boy (although he had already shaken his hand when they were introduced to each others a few minutes ago.

"My boy, you can be proud of yourself. Thank you for saving our daughter." He then turned to Dearka's parents. "Thank you too, for raising such a good boy." He shook hand with Mr Elthman too.

"So," Cagalli's mother began, "when is your match beginning girls?" She always loved watching what she and Shiho's mother called 'their girls', playing sports. Those two together were just too much entertainment.

"In about ten minutes. Come on, let's go or you'll have bad seats!" Cagalli took her parents toward the gym as did Shiho, the little group following. As soon as they entered the gym, Flay ran to them, or more exactly to Yzak's parents.

"Mr and Mrs Jule, it's good to see you!" She smiled her brighter smile to them.

"Flay, how are you doing? Are your parents here?" Yzak's father was obviously happy to see the young girl.

"They're over there."

He followed Flay while his wife stayed behind.

"Aren't you going to greet them, mother?" Yzak was surprised when his mother didn't move.

"I'm not very fond of the Alster family, if you want to know the truth." She proceeded to her seat next to the Clynes and waited for the match to begin, leaving a stunned Yzak behind.

As the players took positions, Cagalli turned to Shiho and smiled a diabolic smile. As soon as the game began, their targets were more than evident for their friends. The two girls were always smashing the ball with incredible force toward an afraid Flay and a scared to death Meer who spent most of the match with their hands above their heads.

Watching this, Ezalia Jule couldn't help but murmured a "Sissy" while watching her son's fiancée. Yzak turned to his mother who just smiled to him.

After a busy day watching a play, a match a recital where Lacus received the biggest applause of the day, they made their way to the exhibition. The watched the work of different students before arriving at Miriallia's work. The group began laughing, seeing Dearka either playing sports, studying and doing everything a normal students would do. As they were closing toward her lasts photos, Miriallia and Dearka were slowing their pace trying to get lost behind their friends.

Miriallia's parents stopped in front of the last few photos. Her father frowned and her mother gasped. The photos were showing first Dearka in an hotel room, naked on a bed and the second one the main subject of her project again, that is to say Dearka, naked agian with a girl dressed only in her panties in his arms. It was obvious what the message of these particular photos was. Right now, she wanted to run far away from what she knew was coming.

"Is… Is this YOU on this picture?" demanded her father who was visibly quite angry. Miriallia could only nod.

Athrun watched her father decomposed and thought that no good would come out from him at the moment.

"Dearka, I think you should run now!" he suggested to his friend.

"Yup, I was thinking absolutely the same!" He said as he began to back off. Miriallia's father saw him stepped back and with one glance prevented him to go farther away.

"Could you explain me what THIS is?" he ragged through gritted teeth. His gaze was going from his daughter to the boy he had thanked for saving the life of his PRECIOUS and INNOCENT daughter.

"I'll explain everything. But don't take your anger on him." Miriallia began. "I'm the only one to blame, it was my idea."

Miriallia's mother seemed to have recovered for her shock.

"Not here, darling. Let's wait for us to be home."

He watched at his wife and at the others parents around them before turning back to his daughter.

"By respect for your mother, I won't say anything here. Go get your luggage. We're going home. NOW!" Her father was raging and she thought it was wiser to just keep her mouth shut. She saw her friends about to protest but stopped them.

"Please, don't." She just said before turning around toward her dormitory.

After a last small speech from the principal (who was currently in his little shoes after Miriallia's father gave him a piece of his mind concerning education) wishing to everybody a Merry Christmas, students were beginning to leave with their parents. Seeing this, Kira's father took his wife's hand and led her outside. He had seen how his son was looking at the cute pink hair girl and he was sure that their presence would bother them to say their goodbye. The others couples followed leaving the young ones alone. As soon as their parents were out of sight, Lacus throw herself at Kira who almost fell down.

"Do you think, it'll be ok for Mir? Her father looked very pissed!" asked Cagalli her arms around Athrun waist.

"I would never have thought that the two of you would do it!" exclaimed Yzak while stroking Shiho's hair.

"We didn't do anything!" Dearka was getting angry at the whole situation. "She just took of some of her clothes, took the damn photo and then we dressed back up."

"Some of her clothes," Kira laughed," come on Dearka she was only wearing her panties! If I were to see Lacus or Cagalli on a photo like this not wearing many clothes what do you think I'll do?"

Dearka sighed before quickly wishing a Merry Christmas to his friends before heading to his parents. Yzak kissed Shiho one last time before catching up with him.

"Cagalli we better be going too, we have a long way home." Kira said to his sister who only hugged her boyfriend tighter in response. Lacus giggled at Cagalli's behaviour.

"Told you, you would be devastated."

Cagalli stuck out her tongue at Lacus before they walked back to their parents.

In the car bringing them to the airport, Mr Jule and Mr Elthman were talking about the benefits that would come out of Yzak and Flay's marriage. Dearka was casting glance at his friend, who kept his face turned toward the window. He had to talk to his father, the sooner, the better.
