This story will simulate what it would have been like if Britannia did not have knightmares when it invaded. It is not of them losing but instead ending the war in a different manner.

I've revised this chapter.
Chapter 1
The teacher stood at the front of the classroom. He was teaching his class about the war with Britannia and what Japan had gone through. Britannia declared war to take control of the sakuradite rich area of Japan. The war hadn't lasted long. Britannia's overwhelming strength in numbers and superior technology drove Japan to its knees. The emperor of Britannia, Charles Zi Britannia, demanded that Japan become part of Britannia as an Area. However, the Emperor repealed his demands and offered a peace treaty in exchange for control over the sakuradite resources. In an impossible situation, somwhow, Japan managed to keep its own name and title. It satisfied the Britannians and allowed Japanese people to be free, publicly. However, Britannia's practice of Social Darwinism still occurred.
A seventeen year old red headed girl looked out the windows. It was a beautiful day but the girl sighed. The class soon ended.
"Hey Kallen, did you hear about the new kids?" Her friends said as she gathered her stuff.
"No." Kallen said with an uninterested expression.
"Well I heard they're Britannian royalty!" Her friends cheered with anticipation.
Great, more Britannians. Kallen couldn't stand Britannians. She could barely stand her friends half the times. Yes, she attended Ashford Academy, a high classed Britannian school, but she was half Japanese. She only attended here because of her father who was a Britannian noble who managed to hide the fact that he had a child with a Japanese.
"Royalty?" Kallen asked.
"Yes, royalty! Princes and princesses of Britannia!" They cheered again.
Oh even better, spoiled brats of the worst country in existance. Kallen immediately set aside the news with disgust. She said bye to her friends and walked out. As she walked she let out a heavy sigh.
"I should be happy." Kallen muttered. "I am a Brittannian noble who lives a life unthinkable to Japanese." But she couldn't be happy. Just knowing that she was Japanese made her angry at Britannia. Ever since the war, most Japanese lived in poverty and open prejudice was everywhere. Japan no longer had any military power. Peace treaty, bull shit. Britannia declared that they would not repress Japan in any way, and just occupy its economic resources. All lies, the Brittannian military was everywhere to 'protect' the Brittannian citizens living in Japan. She sighed again.
"Oh well." THUD! Kallen had bumped into someone.
"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." Kallen said immediately. A hand then offered assistance. She looked up and blushed. Standing in front of her was a handsome boy, around her age. He had black mop hair, a good looking face and mesmerizing purple eyes.
"No, it was my fault." the boy smiled apologetically. Kallen took his hand and stood up. The boy looked at her.
"You must be from Ashford." the boy said. Kallen nodded.
"Yeah, nice to meet you. I'm Kallen." Kallen said, still lost in the boy's eyes.
"Lelouch." Lelouch said back. "Well I should go."
"Yeah." Kallen replied, regaining her senses. The boy walked away and waved bye. She watched as he moved further and further away. She smiled. Then she walked towards home.
Kallen was restless that night. For some strange reason Kallen could not stop thinking about the boy that she bumped into. Who was this Lelouch? Why did he care if she attended Ashford? Why was the boy so, charming? It was all very strange; Kallen had never ever cared about people like this. Was he Britannian? He certainly looked like one; the thought quickly turned her attitude sour. But something irritated her a lot. Why did the boy seem so familiar? She hoped that her questions would be answered the next day.
Kallen was not a morning person. Her alarm clock buzzed as she opened her heavy eyes. The light came through her window curtains her head ached. She groaned as she sat up on her bed. She hit the digital clock heavily. She then sat there, rubbing her eyes as she yawned.
"Another day." she thought. She lazily made her way to the bathroom.
In half an hour she was outside walking towards Ashford. She reached the front gate and saw a bunch of students crowding the courtyard.
"Uh….. What's going on?" Kallen asked. She spotted her friends and greeted them.
"Hey Kallen!" They said cheerfully.
"Why's everyone at the front?" Kallen asked. They looked at her as if she was the dumbest person alive.
"The new kids, duh." They replied.
"Oh yeah." Kallen said. She might as well see who these kids were, so she stood amongst the crowd. After a few minutes a limo pulled up. Some of the students gasped. Two Britannian guards exited. They held the door open. The students cheered. Out came the third princess of Britannia, Euphemia Li Britannia. She waved as the crowd cheered. One of the guards accompanied her through the crowd. Then came the eleventh princess, Nunnally Vi Britannia. The other guard accompanied her. Then the limo drove away.
"Huh? Weren't there supposed to be three new students?" Some people asked. Then another car drove in. It was a black sports car. It was definitely expensive. Kallen's eyes went wide when she saw the person that exited the driver's seat. A black haired teen stood and walked towards the crowd. They gasped. It was Lelouch Vi Britannia the 11th prince of Britannia. Then a blue haired man exited the passenger seat and immediately got in front of the prince.
"Your majesty, please." The bodyguard said, trying to persuade him for some reason.
"Jeremiah, park my car somewhere until school is out." The prince said as he handed the blue haired man his keys. Jeremiah seemed unwilling at first.
"Understood." Jeremiah said as he took the keys and drove away with the black car. Lelouch walked towards the school and soon he was surrounded by students. They began to ask him questions about, well everything. He just smiled and answered them with simple answers. He then walked towards the main school building. Some of the students followed. That left Kallen wondering, but she tucked the thought away and headed to class. She was greeted by her friends, and they talked. Well, her friends talked about Lelouch, she just pretended to listen to them. Then the teacher came in and the students dispersed and sat in their seats.
"Alright class, we've got a new student joining us today. Treat him with respect, he's a prince of Britannia." The teacher said. "Come on in." The door opened and everyone gasped. Of course, it was Lelouch Vi Britannia.
"Nice to meet you all, my name is Lelouch." Lelouch said with a smile. Everyone wowed.
"Please treat me like you would any other classmate, not a prince." Lelouch then said seriously. That sort of surprised Kallen, but she just left that statement as a lie.
"That's great your majesty, please sit wherever you wish." The teacher said. Lelouch sighed at the 'your majesty' part, and then looked around. He walked down the aisle and sat next to Kallen. The students murmured amongst themselves when he did. Lelouch smiled at Kallen and turned his attention to the teacher who had begun teaching.
Lelouch was interesting. He was very smart, and philosophical. It only took him a few minutes to complete their assignment they had received. Kallen was smart, but he was far above her league. During the entire class Lelouch said nothing to Kallen; well partly because he was constantly bombarded with questions from their classmates. Then the bell rang. The students went out the door and headed towards their next class, gym.
They were playing basketball everyone grabbed one and began to play. Lelouch suddenly got a call on his cell phone. He answered it.
"Uh-huh." Lelouch said. "Alright." He then went up to the teacher.
"Something came up, I must go." Lelouch said. The teacher nodded and allowed Lelouch to leave. Some of the other students snickered, murmuring that Lelouch was probably weak. Kallen wondered if he really was.
"Wait, why am I thinking about him?" Kallen thought, shaking her head. "He's a Britannian prince." But something bothered her, what was it that was so important that Lelouch had to go?
Okay. What did you guys think?
