Hi, I'm sort of new to the Code Geass fanfiction archive. I'm mostly on the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and 5 D's portion. But this is my very first Code Geass story, and I hope everyone likes it! ^^ Oh, and this story is based on Mikari-chan's story Over and Over. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Geass. I just own my OC, Yumi. Yumi is Lelouch's adopted sister, but she likes to go by her original name, Yumi Ranemale.(Don't own the name)
Theme #1: Gambling
Pairing: LelouchxShirley
Summary: Shirley never liked the idea of gambling, especially when money was involved. She disliked the thought of someone losing and the other winning, which more often than not ends up with a dilemma. A good one.
"And that wraps up our Student Council daily report," Yumi Ranemale, new member of the Ashford Academy Student Council finished. Yumi had just moved to Ashford Academy, rival of Oakfield Prep. Yumi had gone to Oakfield Prep so the adoption arrangements could be made. Truly, Yumi was devoted to Ashford.
"Wow, and I thought that we had a bit on our hands!" Milly Ashford, Student Council President exclaimed.
"No, in fact we have to still plan how we're actually going to get through this dang rumor!" Shirley Fenette, Student Council member, exclaimed.
"Yeah they said that we were actually going to put up fireworks and make noise, bladdy blah blah…" Yumi said, rolling her eyes. "Who made the stupid idea up anyway? It's too risky to do that, then the Britannia empire will get at us!"
"I did." Rivalz Cardemonte, member of Student Council piped up cheerfully.
"Idiot." Suzaku Kururugi whacked him over the head. "You know that idea was against school regulations. So why'd you even submit the idea?"
"Because! We need some time to kick back and chillax!"
"And how is shooting fireworks in the sky that'll alert the Britannia making them think we're bombing the place and we're terrorists make it something to kick back and watch the view?" Shirley asked.
"Uh…'Cause it's fun?"
"If we were an independent country, we could shoot up fireworks. But since we are on a school campus, and it is against school regulations, we can't do fireworks." Yumi sighed.
"Aw, c'mon!! Why do you guys always need the law on your side so you can overthrow my brilliant plans??" Rivalz cried.
"The only brilliant thing about that plan was the person who made it," Yumi muttered.
"I say we settle this the old-school way." Lelouch, Student Council member, said, standing up from his seat. He had not said a word until now.
"And which way is that?" Shirley asked.
"We gamble."
"No way! There is no way am I going to let you gamble, Lulu!" Shirley exclaimed, standing up from her seat.
"Actually, he could gamble." Yumi said.
"And how is that?!"
"They could gamble their stakes, like fireworks for…you get the idea, don't you?"
"Yeah that's a good idea…a better alternative to gambling."
"Fine. Then Rivalz, I challenge you to a game of chess!" Everyone fell over.
"A game of chess? That's all you were saying about gambling?! I thought you were talking about poker or something!" Shirley yelled.
"Uhm…there is gambling in chess?"
"You stupid idiot…I'll make sure to punish you…" Shirley muttered.
Yumi raised an eyebrow. Punish him?
"Fine! I accept your challenge. If I win, you let the idea of fireworks pass through and pay over as much money as you have on you!" Rivalz said.
"Rivalz! Aren't you taking this a bit too far with the money part?!" Shirley scolded. Lelouch motioned for her to stop.
"And if I win, you withdraw the idea, pay over your share of money, and tell anybody that asks about your idea that it is not true." Lelouch countered.
"Deal!"
Yumi got out a chess set. The two opponents faced each other with fire in the background.
"GAME ON!!"
"And that's checkmate," Lelouch said, making his final move.
"I LOST!!!! WHY, WHY??? WHY CAN'T I BE AS GOOD AS LELOUCH!!" Rivalz yelled to the sky.
"Because you'll never be as good as my brother." Yumi said, flicking her bangs.
"You played well, Lulu!" Shirley exclaimed, hugging him joyfully. A slight pink tint appeared on Lelouch's face.
"Thanks, Shirley."
"Alright, time to pay your loss. Hand over the money to Lulu, and withdraw your idea. Then tell every person that asks you about the idea that the idea is not true and will never happen!" Shirley exclaimed, hugging Lelouch tighter. Surprisingly, Lelouch didn't let go.
"Here. I also withdraw my idea for the monthly school month celebration." Rivalz handed over the money, and Yumi grabbed it.
"Hey! Why are you taking the money? Isn't Lelouch supposed to take it?!" Rivalz exclaimed.
"I know Lelouch should take the money, but can't you see he has something else in his hands?" Yumi said, pointing at Lelouch and Shirley. Everyone turned to look at the two. They were hugging each other with their eyes closed, and were smiling. Lelouch's face was buried in her hair, while hers was in his shoulder. Milly squealed. Yumi held her back, shaking her head.
"Let them have their time together."
And they watched the sweet moment-until Arthur, the Student Council's cat, decided to bite Suzaku in his leg.
"EOOOWOWWWWCCHHH!!!" Shirley and Lelouch broke apart at the sound.
"What the heck?" Lelouch asked.
"The cat bit me!!!" Suzaku howled while holding his injured leg.
"Idiot! And it was just getting good!" Milly hit him hard.
"OW!! COULDN'T WE JUST GAMBLE ON THIS SITUATION, ON A GAME OF CHESS?!" Suzaku yelled while Yumi, Milly, and Rivalz chased after him around the room.
"HELL NO!!" Yumi yelled while producing a bat. Shirley and Lelouch sweatdropped. Where Yumi got the bat, nobody knows. Then they just looked at each other and smiled. Then they hugged again and listened peacefully to the racket while in each other's arms. There was one thing they both knew. Who knew gambling could be so helpful?
The next day, Rivalz worked off his debt while Student Council yet had another meeting to finish up yesterday's work. Now, Lelouch and Suzaku were having a gamble-again-over a card game called Rich Man, Poor Man. Nina Einstein, Yumi, Milly, and Shirley watched, and the paperwork remained untouched.
"You dirty bastard! What are you planning?!" Suzaku growled.
"It's in the rulebook, you should actually read it!" Lelouch shot back. The two guys bickered back and forth. The girls sweatdropped.
"Go Lulu!" Shirley cheered.
"What was that for?" Yumi asked.
"I don't know, I just wanted to say that." Shirley replied, a blush spreading across her cheeks. Lelouch had heard her cheer and grinned. At least he had someone on his side, while Suzaku had none.
"You've got a cheerleader, Lelouch. Who knew you were such a hotshot and a cheater?" Suzaku said. An anger mark popped out onto Lelouch's head.
"You're calling me a hotshot cheater?! For your information, she wanted to cheer for me!" Lelouch exclaimed, a blush clearly being evident on his face.
"Yeah, yah, just so you know, you better be ready to be able to pay up the money, because you're going down!" Suzaku shot at Lelouch.
"No, you're the one who's going down!" Milly looked at the abandoned paperwork.
"Who's going to do the paperwork?"
"The loser of this game," Yumi and Nina chorused, being seemingly enthralled in the game, where curse words were exchanged, and dirty minds were at work.
"Which is Suzaku!" Shirley cheered.
"So Suzaku's going to lose! LOSE, SUZAKU! WIN FOR SHIRLEY, LELOUCH! SHE'S GOT A BET ON YOU!" Milly yelled.
"Shut up, Milly!" Suzaku yelled. Lelouch turned red when he heard the part about Shirley.
"WHOEVER WINS GETS A ROMANTIC PECK ON THE CHEEK FROM SHIRLEY!" Yumi yelled.
"HEY, WHO SAID YOU COULD GAMBLE?!" Lelouch snapped.
"Whaaaat? We can gamble too, can't we? And to make this game furious, we pitched in our bet!" Yumi grinned. Lelouch groaned.
"Nice going. It's a good thing Lelouch gambles." Milly whispered deviously. Yumi winked.
"This'll get Lelouch going!" And the four girls watched the game as the two players furiously played for the chance to get kissed while Rivalz worked his butt off outside.
"YES!!! I WIN!!!" Lelouch yelled, after what seemed to be 1 freaking hour of waiting, cursing, and yelling. Rivalz then came into the room and collapsed.
"I lost it…" Suzaku groaned. Shirley jumped up.
"YAY LULU!!!" And she ran to him and kissed him on the cheek. The two turned red.
"I guess Shirley couldn't wait to give Lelouch his reward," Yumi commented to Milly and Nina.
"Yeah, but it just means that their relationship is going to heat up!" Milly grinned. Nina nodded. This latest dilemma with two bickering teenage guys was finally over.
"Oh, and also as for you Suzaku, you have to do the paperwork." Yumi plopped a huge stack of paperwork in Suzaku's hands, in which he nearly fell over because of the heaviness.
"WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THE PAPERWORK?!!" Suzaku complained.
"BECAUSE YOU LOST!!" Everyone yelled at him.
And so, it just shows that gambling dilemmas can be one good thing-when there's Lelouch and Shirley involved.
