Chapter 1

Melody watched in silence while everyone on board the Laurasia Class Battleship (ZAFT), bustled around with activities. She had heard from one of the lower classmen regarding the situation, it seemed that they had been called back to PLANT for a short break while the other group took over. After all, there wasn't much that could be done since Yzak and Dearka had set foot on Earth while Strike and Archangel seemed to have landed on Earth as well.

Melody had no idea what to do under such circumstances; she was after all a natural. /What could she do when she set foot on PLANT? Was she going to be taken hostage?/ She couldn't help but wonder.

She must have sighed out loud for Nicol looked over at her quizzically. As if sensing her worries, Nicol shot her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'm sure we will have accomodations for you."

Melody shot back a grateful smile, before turning her attention back to the hangar, watching the workers doing a final check on the mobile suits before entering the port for PLANT. Leaving Melody to her own thoughts, Nicol directed his attention towards Michelle.

He couldn't help but amused at the obvious differences between the two siblings. Instead of worrying over the slightest issues like her sister did, Michelle appeared absolutely at ease with the information that they were setting foot on PLANT. The idea of them being the only Naturals among all coordinators didn't seem to bother her at all. In fact, she seemed exceptionally at ease with it.

"Nicol" someone called out to him, jerking him back into reality. Turning to the source, he realized it to be Athrun.

"Aa... Athrun, is anything the matter?" Nicol smiled politely.

Athrun appeared slightly uneasy with the situation, but still managed to direct a polite smile towards Nicol. "Aa... I just wanted to inform you, we are nearing the port..." Athrun said, his eyes glancing towards the direction of the pair of Natural siblings.

Nicol's lips formed the shape of an 'O' but mentioned nothing of it. After a moment of silence, the announcement of them entering the port was broadcasted all over the ship. "Well...I'm sure we'll be able to think of something as we go along." Nicol reassured him.

Together, the four made their way towards the exit of the ship. Melody's anxiety grew with each step she took. By the time they neared the exit, Melody was so jumpy that she nearly yelped out in shock when Michelle nudged her. She didn't relax until they passed by the security gate safely.

Now that they were out of range of watchful eyes, Melody felt her whole body sag in relief. If it weren't for Nicol supporting her, she would have collapsed right there and then. She had never felt so stressed in her life before, thankfully, the guards on duty didn't question Nicol or Athrun for their presence, otherwise they would have found it hard to explain to the authorities.

"Alright, now what?" Michelle spoke up in a harsh whisper, trying not to attract attention to herself.

"My house is out of bounds..." Athrun stated apologetically.

"I know, we couldn't possibly hide under the Chairman's nose, could we?" Michelle stated dryly.

"Well...I'm sure, my parents won't mind..." Nicol spoke up hesitantly.

"So, we'll stayed over at Nicol's?" Michelle asked.

"Yeah... most likely..." Nicol responded, pushing down the uneasiness as he reassured the two girls.

Despite his agreeing to take in the girls, he was still uneasy. His mother wouldn't be a problem, it was his father that he was concerned about. How could he possibly come up with an excuse with regards to the girls sudden appearance in their house? /Well... let's just go along and see how things develop.../ Nicol told himself firmly, trying to calm his nervousness.

Together, they bid farewell to Athrun as the latter was needed at the headquarters to report to his father, Patrick Zala, who was the current chairman of PLANT. Meanwhile, Nicol led the two girls over to the awaiting car which would bring him home to where his parents were awaiting his return. Ignoring the chauffeur's curious glance in his direction, he gestured for the two girls to enter before him. Shooting a warning look in his family chauffeur's direction which said 'Do not question or else...' before settling himself comfortably beside the two girls at the back seat of the car.

Throughout the journey back home, the atmosphere in the car was tense with silence. The two girls tried to relax and not feel unnerved by the glances shot their way by the curious chauffeur, while Nicol tried his best to appear calm and relaxed.
