Just on a side note: I don't own Gundam Seed/Destiny. Felt like doing this fanfic after reading most of the Gundam Seed/Destiny fanfic done by others. Also I don't own the song for .hack/Twilight.


ORB

She stared up at the bright yellow moon as she sat on the windowsill of her bedroom window. The moon glowed eerily as she laid her head against the window frame. It had been six years now and Cagalli Yula Athha was now a woman of 24. Unconsciously she fingered the necklace at the base of her neck as she wistfully remembered the past. Pulling her gaze away from the moon, she gazed down upon the place she called home.

"I wonder what he is doing now?" she whispered. This was a question she had been avoiding for six years now. Sighing deeply, she moved away from the window as she knew the four walls of her bedroom could not answer her back.

Across the ocean, another was admiring the moon as well.


"Cagalli, Cagalli," a voice whispered in her ear. She stirred, mumbling. "Cagalli, Cagalli, wake up," the voice persisted.

"Just a few more minutes," she mumbled, turning her back to the voice. She heard a harrumph sound and the next thing she knew, her sheets were pulled roughly away from her. Feeling the tremendous cold, her eyes shot wide open. "What the -" she started to shout as she sat up.

Moving her head, she saw her brother grinning down on her. Realizing that it was only her brother, she groaned and punched her brother on the arm. "What did you do that for?" she asked, glaring at her brother who was rubbing his arm.

"In case you haven't notice, it is already morning and someone is late," he said, placing his hands on his hips. Catching his meaning, she literally jumped out of the bed and took her robe. Her brother shook his head as she carelessly wore her robe. As she walked to the bedroom door, she saw that it opened and her sister-in-law walked in.

"Have you wake -" she started to say when she saw Cagalli briskly walked past her.

"Morning! Sorry but got to go!" Cagalli threw her words over her shoulder at her sister-in-law.

Her sister-in-law shook her head as she smiled. She turned and saw her husband standing beside her. "Thank goodness you woke her up just in time," she said as her husband slid an arm around her waist. She looked up and saw her husband smiled.

"Well, you know how it is."

"Kazuya, you and Rosalynn stay at the school until I or Aunt Cagalli come and pick you," Lacus said, while gently ruffling his dark brown hair. Her son nodded and took a golden-haired girl by the hand and walked into the school. Before they entered, they turned back and waved back at Lacus and Cagalli.

"Bye Mommy!" shouted the children. Lacus and Cagalli waved back at them. Seeing the children had entered the school, both women turned and walked back to the car where Kira was waiting for them.

PLANT

He stared out of his room's window as he leaned back against his chair. He heard a knock on the door and heard it opened. "Chairman, your car is here," his secretary said. Sighing, he leaned forward and stood up. Turning to face her, he nodded and his secretary closed the door behind her.

She stared at the papers in front of her as she tapped her pen lightly against the surface of the table. A knock on the door was heard. As she looked up, her sister-in-law popped her head into the room.

"Busy?" she asked. Cagalli rolled her eyes and threw her hands up.

"YOU CAN'T IMAGINE! GOD!" Cagalli exploded. She then started to rage off. "OF ALL THE THINGS! WHY CAN'T THEY BE CLEARER ABOUT THIS SORT OF STUFF! IF I COULD JUST GET MY HANDS ON THOSE DAMN MINISTERS -"

"Lunch?" Lacus asked in the midst of her ranting. Cagalli stopped her ranting and smiled at her sister-in-law eagerly.

"LET'S GO!"

Somewhere in ORB

She stared at all of people walking pass the restaurant. "So how is the preparation for the Peace Ball?" asked Lacus who was seated across her. Pulling her gaze from the streets and faced Lacus.

"Everything is going as planned. Right now, all we need is the reply from PLANT," she said, avoiding Lacus's gaze and instead, stared down at her meal. She felt her friend's hand atop her own and looked up. She smiled at the concern in her friend's bright blue eyes. "It's okay. I'm all right," Cagalli assured Lacus. But in her heart, it was otherwise.
