Chapter 13
It had been kinda peaceful the last few days since the Minerva had left Orb, which meant that now Dearka had been able to sleep as much as he want.
It had only been about ten minutes since he had gotten out of his and Miriallia's bed. And even true a small part of him had truthfully want to stay in it, he had to get up to go to the bathroom.
And once he had finished his business in there.
He realized that he was hungry, which meant that he was now making his way to the kitchen, where his nose was telling him that somebody in there was busy making bacon and eggs, which certainly wasn't something he would say no to.
And it was only a few seconds later before he arrived at his destination where he saw Murrue Ramius occupied with preparing the delicious food.
"Good morning miss Murrue" he called out in a still somewhat tired tone, as he stood there looking at the big meal she was working so hard to make, he was already looking forward to get his portion of the food.
One thing the brown hair woman had made quite obvious since they all had end up living in this house, was that she was a very good chef.
It really didn't matter what she made it would always be very tasty, so after standing there watching her work for a bit, he slowly turned around and walked over to the cabinet where every single plate in the house was kept.
Once over there he quickly pulled out a few of them and began putting them on the table, he figure that was the least he could do, when she took the time to make so much food for all of them.
Seeing what the former Zaft pilot was doing Murrue couldn't help but smile a bit.
That really was a great help, she had been so busy getting the meal ready, that she had pretty much forgotten that they need something to put it on once she was finished preparing everything.
"Thank you Dearka, that's very kind of you, maybe once you are done you can go and wake up the others!" Murrue said, while taking a quick glance back at the bacon.
It really didn't tastes all that good if it stayed on the frying pan to long. She want to make sure, that she got it of at just the right time, and that meant that she couldn't leave the kitchen.
Hearing her request Dearka was just about to run of when Andy and Mayu enter the room.
"Good morning mom, that really smells good!" The brown hair girl said in a loud tone.
Before taking a deep breath, truly enjoying the aroma of all the delicious food that was being made, she was already hoping that it wouldn't be long now before her mother was done, and they could eat.
Seeing the two of them show up like that Dearka walked over to his usual seat and dropped down in it. "Well looks like all of us is here now!" The boy said not doing a thing to hide that he was still feeling a bit tired.
He wasn't really all that use to get up this early, under normal circumstances he would still be fast asleep at a time like this, the very few times he got up this early was usually because somebody woke him up.
But as he was sitting there trying his best to get the rest of the sleep out of his eyes, he didn't noticed that everybody else was looking at him.
"You do realize Dearka, that the married couple isn't here?" Andrew asked, from where he was busy preparing his usual morning coffee. If he didn't get some of that stuff at the start of a new day, then one could be quite sure, that the one eyed man would be in a bad mood, for the rest of the day.
Hearing those few words Dearka took a quick look around the room, where he immediately noticed that the Desert Tiger was right, there was no sign of Lacus and Kira in the room.
Which wasn't really that shocking, those two loved sleeping even more then Dearka did.
"Ok I guess you are right Waltfeld, but there is no way I'm waking them up" the boy said in a determined tone, still keeping a close eye on all the food.
Looking at each other for a few minor seconds.
Both Murrue and Andy once again turned their somewhat confused gazes, back towards the obviously still sleeping boy, that by now was peacefully resting his head on top of the table.
"And why exactly don't you want to wake them up?" Murrue asked in a curious tone, she really didn't understand why Dearka had so much against waking up the married couple.
She did however not have to wait long for an answer, as Dearka slowly removed his head from where he had been resting it for the last few minutes.
"It's very simple, the reason I don't want to wake those two up, is because the last time I did that, nurse Lacus and Doctor Kira throw me out of there quite violently, I actually think Lacus broke a lamp to get me out!" The boy said, still thinking about how much fun he had been having teasing the two of them about that.
They had each been so embarrassed the next many days after that event, that none of them hadn't been able to have a normal conversation with him.
Without at some point getting a red face, which of course just made the whole thing even more fun. And it was only when Lacus had threaten to deleted, his favorite game on the PC, that he had stopped with his teasing.
Thinking a few seconds about why the teenager didn't want to go wake up the married couple Andy finally let out a light chuckle, as he wonder slightly if it was the same nurse uniform he had given the two of them, when they had moved over on the Eternal two years ago.
But before he could ask Dearka what colour the uniform had been.
The smallest person in the room yelled out her thoughts about what she had just heard. "WOW you go big brother Kira and you too big sister Lacus!" Mayu called out with a big grin on her face.
Just as she quickly reached out and grabbed the first plate of food from her mother's hand, after that she immediately turned around and began making her way in to the TV, determined to find out if there was any cartoons on.
She didn't even noticed that the two men and her mother was looking after her like she was crazy, and it was only when she turned on the television, that Murrue let out a small sigh.
"Some times I don't know what to do with that girl" she mumbled just loud enough for Dearka and Andy to heard, and even true both of them could understand why the last words Mayu had said before she had run off for the living room, was troubling the brown haired woman.
Both of them couldn't keep their amusement back, hearing the girl say something like that was more then enough to make them laugh, which of course wasn't all that hard to hear.
And it did not take long before Murrue was looking right back at them with a slightly angry look on her face. She really didn't like it when her daughter was talking like that, in her eyes she was still a bit to young to know about what Kira and Lacus had been doing.
"If the two of you don't stop laughing, there wouldn't be any breakfast for any of you!" Murrue threaten in a somewhat serious tone, that made it obvious for both of them that she was not kidding around.
And it was only a small second later, before both men stopped their emotional outburst, while giving the brown haired woman their most innocent looks.
None of them really want to miss breakfast over something like this.
So now they both looked like two well brought up children, that would never cause trouble for anybody. But even with those looks on their face Murrue could easily tell, that both of them was still finding what Mayu said very entertaining.
And even true she frankly was a bit tempted to deny them the food.
She really didn't like the idea about dumping everything she had spend her entire morning working so hard on, in to the trash. So after giving them one more warning glance, she placed the two plates of food directly in front of them.
Then hurried turned around and walked of down the hall, heading towards the married couple's room to wake the two of them up.
If somebody didn't wake them up they really could spend the whole day in bed, and there was a lot of things that needed to be done around the house.
And there simply was no way, she want to do that on her own. She already had a few brilliant ideas about what the two men, she had left behind in the kitchen could do.
Now the only other thing she need to do right now was to wake up Kira and Lacus, which could be a hard task on it's own, the two of them where after all heavy sleepers and almost impossible to wake up from time to time.
But she wasn't goingto give up on this, without at least trying to get them out of bed.
The only thing she was a bit concerned about, was that they might be doing something else other then sleeping.
She honestly didn't want to walk in on the two of them, the things Dearka had mention about, Lacus dressed in a nurse uniform and Kira being a Doctor wasn't really something she wished to see.
And it frankly made her wonder why she had volunteered in the first place to live together with four hormone filled teenagers, counting Dearka and Miriallia too.
And when she finally arrived at the married couple's room, it was only through a bit of hesitation that she reached out and gave the door a small knock.
Fortunately there really wasn't anything for her to be worried about, as the door flew open almost immediately, where the very first thing she saw, was Lacus dressed in a light blue pyjamas and busy using her right hand, to remove some of the sleep from her eyes.
"Ohhh hello miss Murrue, is it morning already?" The pink hair girl asked, clearly hoping that it would not be long before she could get back under the warm cover, and just snuggle up in to Kira's arms for a bit.
But the answer Murrue gave her did put a damper on that idea. "Well it's still quite early, but breakfast is already on the table, and the two of you did promised me a few days ago, that you would help clean up around the house" Murrue explained, while smiling a bit at the tired expression her little sister figure's had on her face.
Hearing Murrue tell her that Lacus nodded slowly in understanding.
Just as she took a small glance back at Kira that was still sleeping peacefully in their bed, and a single look at his face was enough to tell her that he wasn't planing to wake up anytime soon.
"I'll try my best to wake him up. But I can't really promise you anything miss Murrue, you know as well as I do that from time to time, he is almost impossible to wake up, especially this early in the morning" Lacus explained, while turning her attention away from her husband, and back towards the other woman, that now had a somewhat thoughtful look in both of her eyes.
Which really made Lacus wonder just what she could be thinking about, she did however not have to wait long before her curiosity was put to rest.
"Hm if you really can't wake him up Lacus, then let him do it instead!" Murrue said in a serious tone, as she lifted her hand and pointed down at Haro that at this very moment, was slowly rolling back and forth on the floor, by Lacus' side of the bed.
Seeing just what miss Murrue want her to use to wake up Kira, the pink hair girl couldn't help but blink a few times, as she thought about how her husband would react having Haro interrupt his sleep.
For some reason the whole idea about using her noisy small robot for something like that, was more then enough to make small yet mischievous grin ran over her face.
"That's a very cruel way to get him out of the bed miss Murrue, I like it!" Lacus said in a somewhat wicked tone, while she slowly bented down and pinked up her little robot, where she looked at it for a few seconds before she slowly reached down and placed it just beside Kira's head, then took a step back to watch the show that was about to commence.
This really was going to be fun, and one look back at Murrue made it clear, that she thought the same thing, so after giving each other a small nodded Lacus again looked back at her husband and Haro.
"Mr pink what's my name?" She asked, trying her best to hold her amusement in, which was actually pretty hard seeing as this was bound to be fun no matter what.
And it was only a short second after Lacus had asked that one question, that the small robot yelled out an answer.
"LACUS! HELLO LACUS!" The pink little robot yelled so loud, that Kira actually tremble over the side of the bed and made a smashing sound as he land on the floor, where he immediately began yelling out about what was going on.
It was only when he heard the two women's laughter and saw Haro laying on the bed that he realized what had happened.
And without even giving it a second thought, his hands flew out and grabbed on to the two pillows on the bed, which he immediately throw of after the two laughing women.
The first one hitting Lacus in her face, while the next flew right past her and slammed straight in to Murrue's face.
Feeling that happening the two women immediately stopped laughing and just stood there looking at the grinning boy, each of them having a tight grib on the white pillows Kira had just used against them.
"Let's bring this rude fellow to justice Lacus!" Murrue said in a determined tone, as she change her hold on the pillow, quite obviously getting ready to use the soft thing as a weapon against the boy.
"You are right miss Murrue, we need to teach this man a lesson!" Lacus said, as she also got ready to use the pillow for combat.
Seeing the two women getting ready to give him a good beating with the very things he had thrown at them, Kira took a quick look around the room for a weapon of his own.
But the only thing near him right now was Haro and the cover. And there was no way he could use the robot for anything so in the end he slowly reached out and took a hold on the cover.
Which he fortunately had taken with him on his small trip to the floor.
"Well if the two of you, really mean that I deserve to be taught a lesson, then you just have to catch me first!" Kira yelled, while he hurried jumped up from where he was sitting on the floor.
And once he was up on his feet he immediately throw of the cover towards them, doing his best to make sure that it would end up blinding both of them.
Happy with the small distraction, Kira was quick to use this opportunity to leave the room where he immediately ran off, he did however not get all that far before he heard Murrue's voice again.
"We most not let that man escape!" The brown haired woman said in a determined tone, doing her best to keep her amusement about all of this down, it really had been a long time since she had last felt like a child.
And it was not long after that before the two women was chasing Kira all over the house, all three of them laughing like never before.
It was obvious pretty much to everybody that saw their playing around, that they where really enjoying them self and having fun.
Amazingly enough the two ladies' never did succeed in cornering the brown hair boy, and the task of hunting him down got even harder when he allied himself with Mayu, so now there was two against two.
But that did not stop Murrue and Lacus from trying, to give him a good beating with the two pillows they had been carrying with them, ever since they had left Kira and Lacus' room.

It was a few hours after the small battle had ended, now everybody was working around the house doing their chores, Dearka was busy sweeping the driveway as he slowly rocked his head back and forth to the music that was coming out of his two headphones.
But even while doing that, he made sure to do his work properly.
Seeing as he certainly didn't want to do it again, if miss Murrue was not satisfied with his work.
At the same time not that far away from him Mayu was walking around with a watering can while Haro was jumping up and down right behind her, calling out her name every time he land on the ground.
Not that the girl gave the small robot much attention, she was busy concentrating on watering all the flowers that was planted around the house, the only times she took a small break from her job, was to fill up the can again.
But even as she was doing that she couldn't help but take a small glance over at Lacus and Kira that was helping each other washing the many windows that was on the house, something they where in serious need of, seeing as they had gotten quite dirty after the giant storm they had not long ago.
But even true the married couple was doing their best to finish of the task.
Both of them had a somewhat wicked gleam in their eyes as they kept taking small glance over each other.
It was obvious that both of them where ready to start of a water fight at any minute now.
And truth be told Mayu was a bit curious about seeing who would begin the next small war of the household. Not thay it did not really matter all that much who started it, Mayu was determined to join in under any circumstance.
Not noticing that Mayu was keeping a close eye on them, Kira kept stealing small glance at his wife, that was dressed in nothing else then a small tight green T-shirt and a pair of shorts in the same colour.
But even true, she looked unbelievable gorgeous right now, especially when she bent down to get some more bubbly water on the sponge.
Yet the strange way she kept on waving and smiling at him, really made him feel uneasy.
For some reason he just couldn't shake the idea away that she was up to something, and it did not take much of a genius to figure out that it had something to do with all the cleaning equipment, that was surrounding them.
Now that the brown hair boy was really giving it some thought, he realized that the garden hose was laying dangerously close to her.
The only thing she need to do was reach out after it, but even as she moved right over the hose, she continued working like nothing was going on, now even humming her favorite song.
Which only served to convince Kira even more, that it wouldn't be long now, before he would be at the receiving end of that green garden hose.
And determined not to let something like that happen if he could prevent it.
Kira slowly lifted his foot and stepped down on the hose, now slowly trying to draw the water equipped weapon closer to him, so Lacus wouldn't be able to use it against him.
But unfortunately he didn't get it very far before Lacus' hand flew down and grabbed on to the hose, then quickly turned around where she immediately opened fire on him.
Yet before the beam of water could actually hit him, Kira hurried throw himself to the side, so it was only his left arm that got hit by the soaking attack. But he didn't get any time to recover, before Lacus again took aim at him with her green weapon.
Immediately noticing what she was doing Kira hurried jumped back up on his feet, and ran off just as the cold liquid was about to hit him again.
Seeing her handsome slightly wet husband escape like that, the pink hair girl hurried took off after him.
"Kira honey wait up, I got a surprise for you!" Lacus called out after him in a sweet tone, that almost made it sound like she wasn't planing on giving him a big tour with the garding hose.
But when she noticed that he didn't slow down at all she began running that much faster.
Now even more determined to make sure that he wouldn't not get away from her, without getting completely soaked first.
But much to her small disappointment Kira was just so much faster on his feet then she was.
And that meant that the only way she could carry out her mission was to find another way to get close to him. So once she was sure that he couldn't see what she was doing.
Lacus quickly turned and began making her way around the house.
So she could catch him from the other side, luckily for her the hose was quite long, so she did not have to worry about having to leave her weapon half way through this little fight.
She just hoped that Kira wouldn't figure out what she was doing now, if he somehow found out about what she was gone do, she knew that her small yet important mission would get so much harder.
Luckily it did not take many minutes, before she saw him hiding out over by a few bushes, clearly looking around for her, but as far as what Lacus could tell from there, his back was turned towards her.
Smiling a bit at that, the pink hair girl began slowly making her way towards him, doing her best to stay out of sight for as long as possible. She did not want him to try and ran off again.
But as she got even closer to him, it became obvious, that he was not expecting her to attack from behind, which of course wasn't something the pink hair didn't hesitate to use to her advantage.
"Ohhh Kira!" She sang out when she was about five meters behind him, making him turn around.
Just as she once again fired of her powerful weapon of choice, this time hitting his chest and stomach with the ray of water, which of course was more then enough to make him let out a shocked gasp, when he felt the cold liquid hit him like that.
But it only took a small second for him to get over her surprise attack, and throw himself to the side to avoid getting hit by anymore of the water.
But even as he was doing that, Lacus hurried followed his path with the garden hose, now make sure that the water was hitting every single part of his body, which of course made him evade quickly to the side and ran off again, before his somewhat mischievous wife could get the chance to get him even more wet.
Unfortunately for Kira he didn't get very far, before he saw a new opponent on the battlefield. Mayu was slowly coming towards him, holding on to a big bucket of water, and with a truly evil smile on her face.
"MMm Mayu what are you doing?" He asked sounding a bit on edge, as he took a short glance over his right shoulder, after his garden hose wielding wife.
But much to his small relief, she had apparently gotten her weapon entangled around the bushes, he had just been hiding out by, and it did seemed like it was going to take her a bit, to get the light green hose loose again.
Which gave him just enough time to figure out what in the world Mayu was up to, that grin she had on her face really made him feel uncomfortable. He seriously did not like where this was going.
"I'm sorry big bro, but I'm joining the winning team in this battle, it's pretty clear that Lacus has the advantages right now!" The brown hair girl said while taking a step closer towards him, obviously getting ready to pour the contents of the grey bucket over him.
Seeing her do that, Kira didn't hesitated a second in taking off in a different direction, just as Mayu hurl the water after him. "Damn it big bro get back here and get a small drink!" The girl yelled, while she hurried began running after him.
But her short legs and the slightly heavy bucket, made sure that there was no way she could keep up with him.
So it only took a small minute, before he disappeared around the corner of the house. "Damn, he escaped!" The girl complained in a somewhat displeased tone.
Just as Lacus got up beside her now once again armed with the garden hose, which she had finally succeeded in getting free of all the bushes, but as she stood there looking around after her husband, she gave Mayu a small smile.
"Please don't worry Mayu we will find him again, he is begin to run out of places to hide!" Lacus said just as the presser disappeared from the hose, which meant that there was only one single place, around the garden he could be now.
And that was by the outdoor faucet, that was the only place where it was possible, for him to turn off the supply to Lacus' weapon.
And with one small look over at each other, the two girls hurried stormed of in the direction, where the outdoor faucet was located. Both of them hoping to capture Kira, before he could once again find away to escape them.
000000
Elsewhere Kira had just finished turning off the water to Lacus' garden hose.
Which meant that it would only be a matter of a very little time, before the two girls would show up to look for him. And even true he was already on his way over to the tool shed, that was located at the other end of the garden.
He knew that turning off Lacus' water supply, had only won him a few short moments of peace.
Which he was determined to use to get a weapon of his own, that was actually the reason why he was heading for the shed, the brown hair half soaked boy knew that there was extra garden hose hidden somewhere in there.
And if he could find that, there was another faucet just beside the shed.
And he need to have finished of this task, before the girls would once again turn on Lacus' water supply.
It wasn't long after that, before Kira reached his destination, where he immediately opened the door and went inside.
Once in there it only took him about a minute to find the yellow coloured garden hose, that had been laying in there since they bought the even longer one Lacus was running around with.
But if he stayed close to the shed he would surely be able to beat the two girls in this water fight.
He just wished that there was somebody around that could help him out, that certainly would make this whole battle a lot easier. And he wonder a few seconds what in the world Dearka was doing right now.
But knowing him, he properly hadn't even noticed what was going on, which pretty much meant that it was just him alone against the two girls.
That however did not mean that he was going to give up without a fight. Even true both Lacus and Mayu had seemed quite determined to give him a good cold wash down.
But if he could only get this garden hose up and running, he would at the very least have something to defend himself with.
Unfortunately he had just badly sat foot outside of the shed, before he heard a familiar voice alert his wife to his presence.
"THERE HE IS BIG SISSS LACUS! Lets hurry up and get him before he gets away again!" Mayu yelled loudly, already rushing full speed towards him, still holding on to the bucket, she had been carrying around ever since she had first decided to help his wife out, with her somewhat deadly assault on him.
And just the sight of Mayu coming at him with such great speed, was more then enough to make him turn around on one foot, and run off just as Lacus opened fire on him with her own weapon.
"Ha! you missed sweetheart, better luck next time!" Kira teased.
Just as he hurried ducked under her next attack, then took of away from the area, before any of the two women could try anything else, and still carrying the yellow garden hose over his left shoulder.
But even as he was escaping from them, Mayu and Lacus took a small glance over at each other.
"Big sis did you see what he had over his shoulder?" Mayu asked in a somewhat worried tone.
This certainly wouldn't be nearly as fun and entertain, if Kira succeed in getting a weapon on his own, the reason she had joined Lacus in this water fight was because the pink hair girl, had the most powerful weapon.
And that there was very little chance that she would get wet, but now that Kira had gotten a hold on the extra garden hose, there was really no telling who would win this.
But for now it was still Lacus that had the advantage, Kira might had found a weapon but he still need to find a place to get the water from, and as far as Mayu knew there wasn't any more faucets outside.
So it might be best to continue staying on Lacus side in this little war.
"Yes Mayu I saw it, this is getting serious we have to stop him now!" The pink hair girl said in a loud tone, as she tried to figure out where exactly her husband could have gone now.
He really couldn't be that far away they just had to find him, before he somehow found another source of water, and there was no way he could get that from outside of the house.
Which meant that there was only one place he could be right now, and that was inside the house most likely heading for the kitchen sink. And with that in mind Lacus turned and looked back at Mayu.
"I'm sure I know where he is Mayu, so lets get going!" The pink haired beauty said before she began making her way back towards the big house, with Mayu looking after her until she was almost out of sight.
"Perhaps it was a dumb idea for me to get involved in this" the brown hair girl said in a thoughtful tone.
But no matter what there was no way she was backing out now.
She surely was going to see this to the end, and with that in mind she hurried ran off after her big sister figure, still thinking hard about who exactly, was going to win this water fight.
000000
Meanwhile up on the house balcony.
Murrue was watching as her daughter and the two Yamato's was fighting their little war.
A small part of her was wondering if the married couple would ever get all the windows clean.
But seeing Mayu running around with that happy grin on her face, as she helped Lacus chase Kira down was all Murrue need to decide to let them play for as long as they want.
She truly did love seeing three of the most important people in her life, having so much fun, as they where having right now and there was just no way she was going to interfere in their little game.
And even if she did try to stop them, she was pretty certain that they would change their target over to her, and that was surely not something she wanted.
It was no secret that she had enjoyed the small pillow fight, they had been having just before they had started working around the house.
But Murrue had never really like fooling around with water all that much, unless she had her bathing suit on and they where down on the beach. Something she really wouldn't minded doing later today.
It could be quite nice, just laying there for a few hours and get a little sun on her back.
But the way things kept going now, it was highly unlikely she would get the time to do that, seeing as most of the people that was suppose to help out around the house, was busy doing other things.
Not that she blamed them, the temperature out there was way to high for any of them to get any work done. Even she and Mr Waltfeld was doing other things then what they had originally sat out to do.
She was standing out there keeping an eye out on the activity that was happening beneath her. And she had no idea about what the Desert Tiger was doing at this very moment.
But if she had to guess he was properly busy making some kind of new coffee, he always did that when he was bored and had nothing else to do.
Especially the last few days had been filled with new ideas about how to make the brown liquid taste even better then before.
And there was even a few that Murrue didn't like. But she already knew why the one eyed man, was mixing up even more strange tasting of coffee now then usual. It was most likely because, he was worried about everything that was happening around the world right now.
Not that Murrue could truthfully say that she was free of concerned. Just the attack on the Minerva, as it was leaving Orb, was more then enough to show that this was getting serious.
She just hoped with all of her heart, that things wouldn't turn out as bad as the last war.
She did however not get much time to wonder about that, before Andrew Waltfeld came walking up to her with a cup of coffee in each hand.
"Here you go, I hope you like it, I add a few things to really pull out the tasted!" Andy said, as he gave Murrue the right cup of the brown hot liquid he had made not long ago.
And after giving it a small blow to get some of the steam away, she took a light sip of the still hot brew, trying to figure out if this tasted better then the last time she had been drinking his experimental coffee.
"I like yesterday mix better, this one has way to long an after taste" Murrue explained in a thoughtful tone.
From time to time she just couldn't understand how in the would he could make something like coffee taste so peculiar. But there was also times where it could end up tasting really good, this however was not one of them.
"Hmm I'm going to have to work on that till tomorrow, I like it much better when you tell me that you like my coffee" Andy said, while taking a big mouthful from his own cup, truly enjoying the tasted of the brown somewhat strong liquid, as it disappeared down his throat.
The woman might not like this brew of coffee, but he kinda enjoyed it when it had a bit of a kick to it.
He was actually glad to know that he still had some of this left simmering back in his room, he was already looking forward to drink that later today.
But as for now he was happy just to stand there taking in the view at the house's big garden. "So who is winning?" He asked, as they saw Kira jump over a few bushes to escape from his wife and Mayu, that quickly followed him.
"It's hard to say, but Lacus and Mayu is surely in the lead" Murrue explained.
Smiling a bit about how silly her daughter looked when she went over the small bushes, but it did not take long before all three of them where out of sight again, but it was obvious that the horrifying battle was still going on down beneath the two of them.
They did however not talking any more about that, they just stood there in a deep silence.
Each of them thinking their own thoughts, it was only after a few very long minutes before Andy took another sip of his coffee, and began talking in a somewhat far away tone.
"I don't know about you, but I'm kinda worried about Orb's stand in all of this. I really do believe that Cagalli did everything to make sure, that Orb stayed out of the war, but politics of that caliber is just way to much for an eighteen year old girl to handle" Andy said.
Then took a small glance down in to his cup, a bit disappointed that there wasn't anything more to drink in it.
But it did not take long before he once again began talking, still using the same kind of voice as before. "And when the Seiran's are so determined to make sure that Orb joins the Earth Forces, there wasn't really much she could have done. Not that I blame her!" The man said, while putting his used coffee cup down on the railing, making extra sure that it wouldn't fall to the ground, he really didn't feel like cleaning up after that.
Thinking a bit about everything the one eyed man had just said Murrue finally let out a small sigh, as she took one more sip of her own coffee. "So what do you think we should do now. I mean now that Orb is a part of the Earth Forces wouldn't it be dangerous for Coordinators to be living down here?" Murrue asked in a worried tone, while looking down after her daughter, that was still playing around with the married couple.
She truly didn't want to lose any of them, they all meant so much to her, that it would break her heart if they where forced to go live back up at the Plants.
Especially if Mayu had to go.
If that where to happen there was no way she would ever forgive the Seiran's for forcing Orb to be a part of the Earth Forces, she didn't want to lose anymore of the people she loved and cared about.
Seeing the worried look the brown hair woman had on her face, Andy could easily guess what was bothering her.
"You don't have to be so worried, none of us is going anywhere. I already had a talk about this with the married couple and Dearka about this a few days ago, and none of them wants to leave this place" Andy said, smiling a bit about what they had told him when he asked them about it.
"Actually now that I'm really thinking about, I think Dearka's words sound somewhat like this. I'm not going anywhere without Miriallia, and if the Seiran's are going to try and drive me away from here, then they better be ready for a serious beating!" The man said.
Doing his best to imitated Dearka's voice, while truly glad to know that the boy was ready to fight if there was a need for it. He may not like the idea about having to fight people from Orb.
But if somebody who's loyalty was laying with the Seiran's, show their ugly mugs there, then they might just have to knock a few heads together, to get away from this place.
There was just no way in hell that he would let anybody here get capture, or something like that.
This was after all his family, and if somebody tried to ruin it, then they certainly had to be prepared to get a few scratch, and perhaps a blue eye or two.
Looking a bit at the Desert Tiger, Murrue could feel a small smile ran over her lips, she was truly happy to know that none of the Coordinators in the household was going to leave.
She wanted for all of them to continue being one small somewhat strange family. "I'm glad to know that Andy" she said in a far away tone, while once again taking in the lovely beautiful view from the balcony.
This really was a beautiful place to live, and she would truly hated it if they ever had to leave.
But as things looked now they could all continue peacefully living there for a very long time. Unfortunately she did not get much time to really think about it, before both of them heard a small scream from down below.
"Ahh why the heck do you guys have to get me mixed up in this!" Dearka asked in a loud tone, as he came walking slowly towards the house dripping wet from top to bottom and with a somewhat angry frown on his face.
Which was more then enough, to make both Murrue and Andy let out a few small chuckles, as they watched the boy disappear in to the garage, only to come out a few minutes later, with a bucket filled up with water.
Clearly ready to join in the fighting that was still going on.
"Of course you girls know this means war!" He said in a loud somewhat foolish voice.
As he hurried ran of in the same direction he had just showed up from, obviously hoping to find the two people over there, that had splashed him with water in the first place.
And it wasn't long after that before they both heard Lacus yell out that Dearka was back, and that he was helping out Kira now.
After that the only thing else they heard was a few more screams, as the battle went on between the two mobile suit pilots and the two girls.
000000
It was shortly after the water fight had ended.
And Kira and Lacus was now walking slowly back to their room, both of them where completely soaked, and it was obvious that Lacus was freezing a bit in her wet clothes.
But even with that, she still had a happy smile on her face, that made it clear that she had really been enjoying herself the last couple of hours.
And just knowing that she had been having fun was more then enough to make Kira smile a bit too. He truly did love it when the most important person in his life was this happy.
Not that Lacus was the kind of person to walk around with a mad frown on her forehead, mostly she always was in a good mood. But knowing that such a simple thing as a water fight made her this happy.
Kira was more then ready to have another water fight with her, no matter when she asked for it.
Even if it meant, that it had to be in the middle of the winter, then he was more then ready for it. Even true a small part of him seriously did hope she would never ask him to do that.
It was way to cold for his taste.
But one look over at her was more then enough to tell him, that something like that would never happen.
If she was this cold now, then there was no telling how much she would be freezing if they fought with water in the winter. But maybe a big snowball fight could be just as entertaining.
Dearka and him may not have won the battle against the girls.
But no matter what they had all been having fun, and a snowball fight was perhaps the way for them to get revenge against them, but he could always think about that when the snow actually began falling.
So while still thinking about that he slowly reached over and wrapped his right arm around Lacus' waist, pulling her close in an attempt to give her some of his body heat.
He really didn't want her to freeze to much if there was something he could do about it, luckily they where not all that far away from their room, once there she could take a long hot shower, and get warmed up again.
Feeling Kira's arm move around her like that, Lacus immediately snuggled in close to him, peacefully resting her head on his shoulder, as they continued walking side by side down the hall.
It wasn't long after that, before they arrived at the door to their room, where Kira hurried reached out and turn the doorknob, slowly pushing the door open and leading his wife inside.
Once in there, he gave the door a small kick so it flew back shut, after that he turned and looked in to Lacus' two lovely blue eyes.
"You better hurry Lacus and get out of those wet clothes, then I think it would be best that you take a long hot shower" Kira said, in a somewhat serious tone, as he slowly ran his hands up and down her back, trying his best to get some warm in to her slightly shivering body.
Hearing him say that, Lacus could help but smile a bit, as she took a small glance away from his eyes and down at him, which made it obvious that he too was freezing right now.
Which was more then enough to make her reach down, and slowly wrapped her fingers around her husband's hand, holding on to it in a tight grasp, as she again looked up in to his eyes.
"I do believe that we, have already waste more then enough water today Kira, so why don't the two of us spend some quality time together in the bathtub?" The pink hair girl asked, with a small yet naughty grin on her face.
Seeing that look Kira immediately knew, that she wanted more then just a little quality time together with him, not that he was going to complain.
Doing something like that was sure to warm both of them up in a hurry.
And with that in mind he quickly turned around and lead his lovely pink hair wife in to their bathroom. Where the very first thing he did, was reach out and turn on the hot water on the tub.
After that he once again turned his attention back to Lacus blue eyes, where he once more got reminded of how deep and beautiful they truly where. But even as he was doing that.
It did not take long before the young couple slowly moved in and brought their lips together, each of them kissing each other deeply as they reach out and began helping the one they loved out of their clothes.
Which meant that it did not take much time, before both of them where completely naked in front of each other.
And even true this was far from the first time they had seen each other like this, none of them could keep their eyes from slowly running down over the others body, before they once more looked up in to one anothers eyes, where the deep feelings they held for each other could clearly be seen.
And it was only a few very short seconds later, before Lacus slowly reached down and took a hold on Kira's hand.
After that she immediately began leading him over to the tub, where Kira climbed in first, then moved his hand out towards her, to help his beautiful wife get in, which meant that it wasn't much later before Lacus was resting comfortably on her husband lab.
While Kira slowly ran both of his hands up and down her arms a few times, until they made there way down to her nice little tummy.
Truly enjoying how soft and smooth her white skin was feeling, because of the bubble filled water.
And just the feeling his hands softly massage her stomach like that was all Lacus need to let out a light moan of enjoyment, as she slowly turned around on his lap and looked directly in to his purple eyes for a few brief moments.
Until they once more brought their lips together, each of them kissing each other passionately.

Meanwhile back up at the Plants.
Athrun was in Gilbert Durandal's office, dressed in his new red Zaft uniform.
It really had been a long time since he had last been a member of Zaft.
And a small part of him couldn't help but feel a bit weird being in this kind of uniform once more. But he was pretty certain, that it wouldn't take him much time to get use to again.
But even as he was standing there waiting to hear what the Chairman and the fake Lacus had to say about this.
He was feeling a tiny bit uncomfortable.
The way Meer Campbell kept checking him out, really freaked him out and he was in a way happy that his fiancée was not around to see any of this, she would most definitely have strangled the poor pink haired girl by now.
"You look very handsome in that uniform Athrun!" Meer said in a somewhat seductive tone.
For some reason ever since she had meet this guy, she had liked him, he was just the kind of boyfriend she had always want. But much to her small irritation he really didn't seem all that interested in her, she had even taken the time to ask him out to dinner, but he had said no almost immediately.
Which in her eyes was a bit strange, she did after all look exactly like the real Lacus Clyne, and who in their right state of mind would not go on a date with her.
She was almost sure, that if she asked the next guy she meet he would say yes without even hesitating a second. But she certainly didn't want some random guy she just happened to run in to.
She wanted the blue hair man, that by now was busy talking with the Chairman about something.
And Meer was determined to get him, no matter the consequences, and with that decision made, she once again turn her attention back towards her future boyfriend and the Chairman.
Listening carefully to what they where saying to each other.
"I know that you are worried about Orb and the position it's taking. But for now I would like very much for you to join the Minerva, I have great expectation for that ship. I feel like it could possible do, what the Archangel did in the previous war!" Gilbert said.
Then thought briefly about where exactly the Archangel could be.
Truth be told he would actually like very much to get that ship out of the way as quickly as possible. But if he began asking Athrun about it now, he was certain that the boy might get suspicious, so he just had to wait until that ship made it's first move.
If the small squad of soldiers he had send to Orb not long ago, did not succeed in removing the two Yamatos from this world.
He just hoped that it wouldn't be long now, before the leader of that squadron would soon report back to him, with some good news.
But even as he was thinking about that he slowly made his way over to his desk, where he slowly reached down and picked up a small brown box, that had be standing there ever since Athrun arrived at his office.
"Take this with you too, I'm sure that you can get a lot of use out of it!" Gilbert said, while giving the young man the box.
Blinking a few times in confusion, Athrun slowly moved his free hand up and opened the box, where the very first thing he saw was small badges that looked very much like a white wing of some kind.
"But...but this is a FAITH badges!" Athrun said in a shocked tone, while he looked up at the Chairman with big eyes.
Seeing that Gilbert just gave Athrun a friendly smile.
"It's much easier this way Athrun. I'm certain you are already aware, that a few of the Council members are not overly delighted about having you back, and this was the best way for me, to handle that little problem" the man explained in his usual calm tone.
Hearing the man's reason to why he was making him a member of FAITH.
Athrun reached down and picked up the small medal from the box, then placed it on the right side of his uniform, after doing that he gave the Chairman a respectful salute.
"Thank you very much sir, I'm honoured" the blue haired teenager said in a serious tone, while once again lowing his hand.
"Well if there is nothing else sir, I think it's about time I got going" Athrun said, while taking a small glance over at the young woman in there.
The way she kept looking at him like he was a piece of meat, was really began to get on his nervous, and he was just about ready to run full speed out of the office.
Ever since he had first gotten to know the real Lacus he, had not once seen her with such a selfish expression on her face. And truth be told, it honestly didn't suit the normally kind and generous Lacus.
It was actually freaking him out a bit, which made him all the more keen on getting out of there in a hurry. And he was more then happy, when the Chairman told him that there was nothing more he need to discourse with him.
Which made Athrun nod a single time in understanding, as he reached down and pinked up his small black suitcase.
"Ok then I do believe that it would be best that I got on my way" the boy said, while giving the Chairman a short salute, before he turned and looked over at the pink hair girl that was still watching him, with that somewhat strange look on her face.
"It was very nice to meet you miss Campbell, maybe someday in the future, we will have the opportunity to talk a bit more with each other" he said in a polite tone.
Even true a small part of him, seriously didn't want anything to do with the bizarre copy of his former fiancée, and his best friends wife. But unfortunately she did not seem to get that at all.
She just gave him a big smile, as she moved over and tried to pull him in to a hug. "I hope so Athrun, maybe the next time we meet we can go out and get that dinner I asked you about!" The pink hair girl said in a loud excited tone, that made it clear for both of the men in the room, that she was really hoping that Athrun would say yes to her invitation.
Thinking a little about what he should say to her, Athrun gave her a small smile as he began talking to her in a slightly thoughtful tone.
"We will have to see about that miss Campbell. I kinda feel like both of us is going to be very busy the next few month, so we might not have the time for something like that. Now if you will pardon me, I want to hurry up and get back to earth as quickly as possible!" Athrun said, before he gave the pink hair woman a small bow.
Then turned around and left the room before Meer had the opportunity to say anything else to him.
Once out in the hall he immediately began making his way down to the Saviour's hangar.
And it wasn't long after that before he got to his destination, where he saw his new mobile suit waiting for him, there was a few guards over by the entrance to the cockpit.
But once they saw him coming towards them, they immediately stepped away. "Well good luck to you Zala!" The first one said in a loud tone, as they quickly left the hangar with Athrun looking after them until they where out of sight.
After doing that he turned and looked up in to the Saviour's two green eyes, while thinking about what exactly this mobile suit could do.
He might have been given this machine by the Chairman himself.
But he seriously didn't have any idea about what kind of weapons and speed the Saviour possessed. But he knew that this gundam, was going to be just as powerful as the Impulse, and the three stolen once.
Which meant that it was going to be a very interesting experience finding out everything the Saviour could do.
He was already looking forward to test the gundam out once he got out of the colony. And with that in mind he walked the rest of the way over to the open cockpit and got inside, where he immediately began powering up the mobile suit.
"Athrun Zala, Saviour heading out!" The blue haired boy yelled loudly.
Just as the now red gundam flew with full speed out of the giant colony, where Athrun hurried got the gundam over in it's mobile armor mode.
After doing that he slowly began increasing the speed, to see how fast the plane like mobile armor could go like this. But it was only a few seconds later before he again transformed in to the mobile suit mode.
Where he hurried ran a small check over what kind of weapons the Saviour gundam had.
"Hm pretty impressive. It kinda reminds me a bit about an upgrade version of the Aegis" Athrun mumbled to himself, while thinking a few seconds about his very first gundam.
But after shaking those thoughts away it did not take long. before the red mobile suit was once more over in armor mode, and flying full speed towards earth.
To be continued.
Hey guys I want to thank you all for reading and reviewing, I'll see all of you next time.
