Shirley Fenette arrived at school early and was feeling stressed out. She had a secret: She was in love with Lelouch Lamperouge. Shirley tried to escape her problems by hanging out in the Student Council room. She didn't hear or see anybody at first so she sighed and said "Now I can escape my problems."
Milly Ashford replied "Yeah right."
Shirley said "Hi Milly. I didn't know that you were here. I think I'm going to go."
Milly replied "Hold on there. Ignoring your problems is a bad habit to have."
Shirley said "I've been trying to hide a secret."
Milly replied "It's time for you to finally tell Lelouch that you love him."
Shirley said "I can't do that."
Milly replied "Well unless your mouth stops working you can. Your crush for him is as obvious as obvious as the fact that John de Lancie is awesome."
Shirley said "It's true love, not just a crush."
Milly replied "Then you need to tell him soon."
Lelouch walked into the room and said "Hi. I got another detention today. I'm hoping that you can convince your grandfather to cancel it."
Milly asked "How did you get a detention this time?"
Lelouch said "I filled the copy machine with stink bombs."
Shirley asked "Why would you do such a immature thing?"
Lelouch said "It was a fun thing to do."
Milly replied "I'm sorry Lelouch, but you have to go to detention if you keep doing that stuff."
Lelouch sighed and said "Then I'll cancel my plans."
Shirley asked "What were you planning on doing?"
Lelouch said "Putting a stink bomb in every student's locker."
After school ended Jeremiah Gottwald went to Ashford Academy. He had been hired by V. V. to get rid of Lelouch (Zero). Jeremiah said "Greetings citizens of Ashford Academy. I've come to stop Zero. He's secretly been a student at this school."
Lelouch replied "That weirdo has pathetic lies. Zero wouldn't go to school. He's too smart and charming for that." Lelouch ran to his house and got on his Zero costume.
C. C. asked "What's going on?"
Lelouch said "Orange boy is outside. He wants to beat me up so I'm going to stop him."
C. C. asked "Are you sure that you can defeat them?"
Lelouch said "I'm totally sure about that. It'll be easy to defeat him. In fact it'll probably only take five minutes to beat him up."
C. C. replied "You are the prince of confidence."
Lelouch (Zero) ran outside and said "Greetings orange boy."
Jeremiah replied "How dare you insult me with that edible nickname. I'm going to get rid of you."
Zero responded "I've battled you before. I always won. In fact you were easy to stop."
Jeremiah smiled and said "I've been a more advanced enemy since then. General Bartley had some experiments done on me. I'm a cyborg now."
Zero was surprised to hear that. He hoped that Jeremiah was making stuff up. Zero said "This battle is only going to last for five minutes." He punched Jeremiah in the face. The punch had such a small impact on him that Jeremiah had a smug smile on his face. Zero said "I underestimated you. You didn't make anything up this time."
Jeremiah replied "Thank you for agreeing with the truth for once Zero. I'm going to get my revenge on you." Zero tried to run away, but Jeremiah punched him into Ashford Academy's garbage bin. Jeremiah said "Your fighting skills are as pathetic as your moral values."
Shirley was still at Ashford Academy. She looked out the window and saw Zero getting attacked by Jeremiah. Lelouch had erased Shirley's memory about his secret identity, but Jeremiah's geass canceler brought back her memories. She had a worried looking facial expression about Lelouch.
Milly asked "What's wrong?"
Shirley said "The freaky cyborg is beating up Zero."
Milly said "Well you know that Zero has done a lot of corrupt things."
Shirley replied "I need to save him."
Milly said "It's too dangerous." Milly tried to make Shirley stand still.
Shirley pushed Milly away and said "I'm sorry, but Lulu needs me."
Milly said "Huh?"
Meanwhile Zero was trying to think of a way to stop Jeremiah. Zero was hoping that a money bribe could convince him to stop trying to get rid of him. Zero said "I'm a really rich person. If you became an ally instead of a enemy I'll give you twenty thousand dollars."
Jeremiah replied "How dare you try to use money to stop me."
Zero said "I'm willing to increase the prince to a insanely high amount. I'll give you a hundred thousand dollars."
Jeremiah replied "Because of you I've lost my high ranking job and my normal body, but I'll always keep my loyalty."
Zero said "It seems like your only admirable quality is being loyal to the evil emperor. That's ironic."
Jeremiah replied "The ironic thing is that after this battle is over you'll have zero lives." Jeremiah laughed.
Shirley ran out of Ashford Academy. She started running outside where Zero and Jeremiah were fighting. Shirley knew that a gun couldn't destroy Jeremiah since he's a cyborg, but she hoped it could hurt him. Shirley shot Jeremiah.
Jeremiah replied "Gunshots feel as painless as handshakes to me."
Zero looked around and saw that Shirley was nearby. Zero said "You need to go citizen. It's too dangerous for a cute girl like you."
Shirley replied "I can't let anybody get rid of you Lulu."
Zero suddenly realized that Shirley knew his secret identity again. He said "If you stay around here you'll probably get hurt. Please leave Shirley."
Shirley replied "I love you Lulu."
Jeremiah said "This is a pathetic time for romance. Zero is finally going to live up to the nothing part of his name after I get rid of him." Jeremiah kicked Zero to the ground.
Zero said "I'm going to knock you out." Zero punched Jeremiah several times, but it hardly hurt him.
Jeremiah replied "Feel this ultimate attack move Zero." Jeremiah punched Zero a few hundred feet away.
Shirley ran up to Zero and said "I know how we can defeat him."
Zero replied "You're kind, but you're not an expert on battles." Shirley whispered her plan to Zero. Zero thought it was pretty silly, but assumed that it would work. They told the garbage guy about their plan.
Zero and Shirley ran up to Jeremiah. Jeremiah said "I'm amused by how pathetic you two are. I punched Zero far enough for him to run away, but instead both of you ran up to me."
Zero picked up Jeremiah. Before Jeremiah attacked Zero Shirley kicked him into the garbage bin. The garbage guy put everything in the garbage bin, including Jeremiah, into the garbage truck.
Jeremiah said "Hold on. You could get fired for putting a living person in your garbage truck."
The garbage guy replied "But you're a cyborg." Jeremiah shook his fist at the garbage guy.
Although Zero won the battle with Jeremiah he was in pain from all of the attack moves that he dealt with. Shirley said "I'm going to help you my love. The Student Council room has medicine for pain from battles. It's risky to take you there, but I have to." Shirley picked up Zero and carried him to the Student Council room. Shirley was worrying too much about Lelouch's safety to check if anybody else was in the Student Council room. She took off Zero's mask and had him take the medicine.
Milly said "Hi Shirley and Lelouch."
Lelouch looked around and saw Milly. Lelouch was scared, because Milly saw him unmasked. He said "I was in a costume contest."
Milly replied "You're the controversial Zero."
Shirley said "I'm sorry Lelouch. I was too foolish to realize that Milly was in the room. I ruined your secret identity."
Lelouch replied "Actually you saved me from Jeremiah. Also the medicine you gave me saved me from being in physical pain. You're the best."
Shirley said "I love you more than anybody Lulu."
Lelouch blushed and said "I love you too." Lelouch and Shirley kissed.
Shirley said "Please don't tell people about Lelouch's secret identity Milly. If the people that hate him found out the secret they could get rid of him. That would break my heart into trillions of pieces." Shirley tried to keep tears from coming down her eyes.
Milly asked "Is Zero evil?"
Lelouch said "I'm not. My missions break a lot of rules, but my goals are heroic."
Milly sighed and said "I won't tell anybody your secret Lelouch. I can understand why you two fell in love. You both are obsessed with secrets."
Meanwhile Jeremiah escaped the garbage truck, but he smelled bad from the garbage. He sighed and said "I'm going to take a bath in orange juice."
