Greetings minna! -smiles- This is a new Code Geass Kallen X LuLu story I just dreamed up that I hope you like. Lol...I recently saw started watching the Phantom of the Opera movie again after seeing the play a few years ago and I was inspired. -giggles- Since I first saw Lulu, I'd always thought he'd make the perfect Phantom. -giggles- okay...here are some must know notes for this fic just in case anyone wonders about things: 1. It's set right after episode 25 which means that it's right before R2. 2. Euphie is still alive (I have my reasons for doing this which will be explained further into the story,but I also figured that someone needs to be around to keep Suzaku sane. Lol) 3. C.C. Will not be absent in this story as she seems to be in my other fic "Masquerade," in fact, she will be helping Lelouch during many points of this fic...but I won't say with what. 4. Suzaku has decided to join the Black Knights, while also still working for Britannia...in other words, he's a double agent for the Black Knights. (I know this doesn't sound like something he would do, but his reason for doing this will also become clear further into the fic. And finally 5. Other than C.C., and Lelouch himself of course; Kallen, Suzaku, and Euphie still know that Lelouch and Zero are the same person...Nunally still does not know.

Lol...okay...I think I've explained enough...on to the fic! Lol

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass or any of the Lelouch hotness you will witness in this fic. Lol would be nice if I did though. Lol

-The Phantom of Ashford – Chapter 1: Overture: The Piano Man -

What do you get when you fall asleep during class constantly? If you are lucky enough not to get caught, you get well rested; but if you do get caught...well...Lelouch Lamperouge was now finding this out the hard way. His late nights masquerading as Zero had left him feeling extremely drained and tired during the daytime hours...of course, he couldn't tell the teacher that and so, here the former Britannian prince found himself finally getting punished for it.

Instead of your typical detention, Lelouch looked at the slip in his hand and found this punishment to be rather unusual. All it said was that he had to report to the school's theater at the end of the day. He heaved a heavy sigh as he walked down the hall and thought to himself: "What could possibly be the punishment if it's in the theater?"... "It couldn't be that bad if it's here..." He suddenly felt a slight chill run down his spine as he just had a horrible thought: "Unless...no...she wouldn't..." He took a few deep breaths to calm himself and opened the door only to find all the members of the Ashford student council awaiting him, and Millay's mischievous smirk landing right on him as he entered as she replied: "Why...if it isn't sleeping beauty. It seems they finally caught the great "Master of Sleeping" huh?"

Lelouch, feeling a sick headache coming on; took a seat next to Kallen Stadtfeld, the one he referred to in the Black Knights as "Q1," who also look like she didn't want to be here right now either. He sighed with relief as he thought to himself: "At least I'm not the only one being held here against my will. Now...the question is...why are we gathered here?"... "...and what the hell does this have to do with my punishment?"

Millay grinned as if she could read Lelouch's thoughts and eyed him with that same mischievous look in her eyes. He eyed his best friend Suzaku Kururugi for support, who was also there as he was part of the student council as well. However, all his friend could do was simply shrug and whisper: "She hasn't told us either."

The blonde student council president, the playful glint still in her eyes; turned to the curious Lelouch and asked: "My dear Lulu...how well do you know how to play the piano?"

The violet-eyed boy suddenly felt that chill run down his spine once again as he thought: "Something tells me...I'm going to regret this."

Okies minna...chapter 1 is all finished. Lol...I know it's short, but this is just a short intro to let you know what direction this story is going to be heading in. -smiles- Why does Millay want to know if Lelouch can play the piano? Just what does she have in store for him?...and should he worry about it? Lol I hope you all enjoyed this chappie and I'll see you all for the next one! -smiles- Just make sure you press that little blue button on the bottom that says review cause the gorgeous Lelouch and I would greatly appreciate it. Don't make him use his Geass on you. Lol
