"Ugh….. Grrr…. Aldair! Aldair! Get off of me!" came a muffled shout from beneath the black and white comforter.
The anteater just growled.
"Aldair!" Lelouch cried, trying to pull himself out from underneath the large anteater. "Why are you laying on top of me?"
"Well how was I supposed to know?" Aldair sighed, rolling off of him. "Maybe if you didn't hide underneath the blanket all of the time, I'd know where you were."
"How can you not know that you're sleeping on top of a giant breathing lump?" Lelouch sighed as he sat up, hitting the off button on his alarm clock.
"Lelouch!" came Leon's familiar voice through the door. "Are you up?"
"Yes dad! I'm up!" he called back. He then climbed out of bed and went to get ready for school.
It was now November and Lelouch was now thirteen, after serving redemption for the blood he had spilt back in Britannia, he had to grow from being a toddler to a teen in five months. But he was happy, and comfortable with his father Leon, his little brother Kit, and his baby sister Mercy.
Ever since he had arrived in this 'alternate universe' he found himself becoming more and more like a normal kid living in sunny La Jolla California with his family, many of his friends living just an hour away in Oceanside at Midnightstar Sanctuary.
He dressed as usual, in his somewhat dressy attire, before he headed downstairs for breakfast with his brother and sister.
"Good morning big brother!" said Mercy from her seat at the breakfast bar in the kitchen.
"Morning Mercy, morning Kit." said Lelouch with a smile as he sat between them.
"Ready for that history test today Lelouch?" Leon asked with a kind smile as he set a bowl of oatmeal in front of Lelouch.
"I studied all week for it, I better be ready." he said with a smile.
"What's it about Louie?" Kit asked curiously.
"The Roman empire. Uncle Braydon helped me study. What about you guys? What are you doing today?"
"Today we get to go to the computer lab!" said Mercy excitedly.
"Yeah, we get to play with this really neat math game." said Kit excitedly.
"Math game huh? Have fun with that." Lelouch said with a smile.
"Hurry up and finish you're breakfast guys. It's time to go." said Leon.
"Yes sir." all three of them said in unison.
So they all finished up their breakfast before grabbing their bags and running out to the car ready for the day.

Suzaku grumbled as the sun shined through his bedroom window hitting him in the face.
"Suzaku! Suzaku! It's time to get up honey!" came Cecile's voice from the kitchen.
"Ohhhh, already?" he yawned as he stretched. "Ack!"
Suddenly his face was covered in rough slobbery kisses.
"Oh Jurri! That's gross!" he sighed as he climbed out of bed. He reached down and picked up Nanuq, his furry little beluga whale that had fallen on the floor during the night. "Don't touch Nanuq Jurri." Suzaku warned as he set the plushy on the bed.
Jurri just let out a small whine as she tilted her head to the side, her tongue hanging out of her mouth as she watched him walk into the bathroom.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he got dressed and went out into the kitchen where Cecile set a plate of pancakes on the table.
"Good morning Suzaku." she said with a smile as she sat down.
"Good morning mom." he yawned.
Cecile just chuckled softly as she gently ruffled his hair and kissed his cheek making him smile.
"Now hurry and eat your breakfast Suzaku, if we don't leave soon, you'll have to take the bus."
"Yes ma'am." he said, then he continued to eat his breakfast.
Suzaku was very happy living with Cecile. The two of them lived in a small two bedroom house on Coronado island across the harbor from San Diego California and it was home for them.
Suzaku went to Coronado high school with Lelouch and they always spent time together either at Suzaku's house or at the after school club on Naval Air Station North Island where Leon worked as a pilot and Cecile worked as an aircraft engineer.
But life was now simple, happy.
He was now dating Euphie who had gone through redemption for the Japanese Massacre and together they were Freshman with Lelouch and a group of oddball friends that they had made along the way including another one of Leon's rescued WWII friends who was now an American history teacher across the hall from their world history class with Lloyd's boyfriend Braydon.
"Alright Suzaku, time to go." Cecile said with a smile as he washed his plate.
"Yes mother. Are we going over to grandpa's house after you get off work today?"
"Of course Suzaku. We always go to your grandfather's house for dinner on Wednesday night. Though I think it's just because you want to see Euphemia."
"Of course I do mom, she's my girlfriend." he said as if it was obvious.
Cecile just laughed as she gently shoved him out the door.
"Let's go lover boy." she said with a laugh.
"I'm going mom, I'm going!" he laughed, running out the door to the car.
Before long the two of them were heading to the other end of the island.
