"GAH!" C.C. yells in pain as she sits up, clutching her chest.

"What was that?" she pants, sweat beads forming on her temples. C.C. has been living in random places for the past 5 years. Ever since Lelouch died, she's never had enough money to buy any pizza, let alone an apartment. Laying back down on the soft bail of hay and holding her Cheese-kun she through off to the side in her panic. One of the horses around her lets out a loud whinny form her scream. She curls back up with her plushie and closes her eyes, trying to sleep. After a few hours, she gives up on sleeping and walks outside, taking a deep breath of the crisp fall air. Something vibrates against her thigh, making her jump. She looks down and sees her phone that hadn't made a sound for 5 years, lit up in her pocket. She takes it out and flips it open, revealing a text that someone had just sent her. She reads it:

Meet me at 5:00 a.m. in the Ashford Academy old ball room.

-Anonymous

"Well that's weird." C.C. thinks. She wonders for a little while if she should go, then decides she will and begins her journey. It is 3:00 already, and the walk there takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes. "I wonder who it is?"


I sigh with relief, glad that that's over with. I had to work up some courage to text her, trying to think of something that wouldn't give away his identity just in case she was being held somewhere. I look around, taking in my surroundings. Finally making it to Ashford had worn me out after the long walk form Jeremiah's. I bow my head with sadness when I'm reminded of having to knock them out. I look back to the book in my hands. Everyone that attends the school is listed in this book.

"So the student council's still here." I smile. There's still a new one of course, but Milly had apparently quit her job to become the drama teacher here. In fact, it suits her so well I burst out laughing. She had done 4 plays here, the fifth one failing miserably. There's also an annual cross-dressing festival that everyone loves. Rivalz is teaching gym, and Nina came back to be a math teacher. All of the former student counsel helps with the festivities.

I don't know how I'm going to deal with the cross-dressing, so I just forget about it. Too bad it's the middle of the year. "Doesn't matter. Time to figure out my Geass." I try using the original, activating thing and it activates my key. I try it again and again, but every time it only activates my key. Huffing with frustration, I use my forefingers to massage my temple as I try again. This time, a blast of air makes me fly back against the wall and I hit my head.

"So that's how it works." I groan, rubbing my head. Then, I realize that it only worked when I touched my body with my finger. After holding my finger against my hip, I try again, not as hard though. Sure enough, a gust of air makes the sheets of the bed move and the drapes ruffle. I smile and try both my fore and middle finger. My body flashes and I turn back into a guy. Doing it again changes me back. Adding my ring finger doesn't seem to do anything at first, but when I try to touch something my finger goes right through it. This startles me so I deactivate it. My pinkie too makes me do something extraordinary. My body shrinks, making my clothes fall off, and fur grows all over my body. When I walk over to the mirror I find that I had turned into a black, short-haired cat, still with amethyst eyes. I deactivate it and my body goes back, but I'm naked. After dressing again, I try all five of my fingers and energy fills me.

"I wonder..." I think, smiling. After walking downstairs to the large ballroom with the tables all over, I run from one side to the other, surprising myself with my new nimbleness. When the first table comes in front of me, I jump up and land lightly on it, then jump from one to the other. A large gap between two of them scares me, but I jump easily over it and land on the other side. I stop there and deactivate my Geass. Panting only slightly, I sit down and cross my legs, aware that I'm still wearing my Zero clothes. Right when I start to relax, the big doors open a crack and someone slips in. I narrow my eyes and press four fingers to my head, then activate my Geass. Silently, I turn from a human to a black cat and creep under the tables to where footsteps are coming from. This form practically gives me night-vision, so it's not hard to find the person who walked in. In fact, that person is the person I told to come here.

"Hello C.C." I greet her. She jumps slightly.

"Who's there?"

"I'm someone who knew you for a long time. Someone you considered your..." I deactivate my Geass, still on my hands and knees, then activate it again with two fingers, turning me into a guy. I sit on one of the empty chairs and cross my legs.

"Accomplice." I say with my voice turned back to it's original one. She gasps and sees my pale skin even in this lighting.

"Lelouch?" she whispers.

"The one and only." I smile.

Her eyes widen more and she walks over to me. I stand up and embrace her, she not really caring that I am naked.

"But how?" she asks.

"I was given another chance." I say, breaking away from her. "Do you want to see my new powers?"

She shrugs and I smile. I show her all of them, the girl thing last. The second she sees me as a girl she falls to the ground, laughing just like Suzaku and Kallen had. I cross my arms and frown at her. This of course makes her laugh harder, tears forming in her eyes. I swear she stays like that for hours, but her laughter does die down eventually. When she finally finishes, she gives me her clothes to wear, since I'm obviously uncomfortable with this new body. When I put it on, I find it hugs my body comfortably, the white fabric surprisingly soft. I tell her about my plan to go to this school as a girl, and how I'm going to live a hopefully normal life. She just nods as she listens, then doesn't do anything when I tell her about Suzaku and the others.

When I'm done, I'm sagging my head with shame. C.C. puts her arm around me and we stay like that for a little while, until I hear a snort. I look over a C.C. is smiling with amusement.

"The best part is," she laughs. "you're an attractive girl. Now BOYS will be fawning over you!"

I grimace at the thought and she laughs again. When the clock finally turns 6:00, I give C.C. her clothes and turn into a cat. Following her to the school, we get strange looks. We actually just happen to enter the school at the same time the former student council is walking out. Their eyes widen with surprise when they see C.C. walking in. She stops and smiles at them while they all hug her. Rivals notices me right away.

"A cat!" She leans down and picks me up under the arms. "What's his name?"

C.C. thinks for a moment, then responds. "Lelouch." I can tell this hits all of them like a rock. I smile sadly at him, but, since I'm a cat, he doesn't notice it. "We can keep him in the student council room while you're doing whatever you're doing." he offers. C.C. nods and they carry me to the student council room. When we enter, my eyes widen with surprise. Nothing has changed, except an all new student council. They all look up with surprise as we enter the room.

"Hey guys!" Rivalz greets them with a new tone of happiness.

"Who's this?" a girl with short blonde hair walks up to me.

"L-Lelouch." Nina answers. The girl is surprised by this, but Rivalz changes the subject.

"Doesn't matter what his name is. Lelouch, this is Ailsa." he shoves me at the blonde and she holds out her finger. I lick it in return. He brings me to a girl with grey hair in a ponytail sitting at a computer. "This is Georgina." She smiles and pets my head. He brings me over to a muscular guy with white hair. "This is Alastair." He laughs rubs my head somewhat roughly. Rivalz brings me to a pair of boy twins with dark brown hair. "This is Arran and Audde." They smile pat my head. He turns me back towards him.

"I'm Rivalz." he brings me over to Nina and Milly. "This is Nina and this is Milly. We're part of the student council too! We don't have a president yet, because Milly's not allowed to, but we'll find one." He sets me down on the house that Arthur lives in and the cat walks out.

"You smell familiar." Arthur talks to me.

"I used to be a part of this council. My name is Lelouch." Arthur's eyes widen and he smiles.

"LELOUCH!" he meows loudly, jumping on top of me and licking my face. The council giggles at the sight.

"What are you doing?" I yell at him angrily.

"I thought you were dead! Is Suzaku alive too?"

I nod and he meows gleefully. C.C. walks in the room holding a paper and some clothes. "Can I have my cat back?"

"Sure!" Rivalz walks over to me, picks me up and gives me to C.C.

"Can you guys do me a favor?" she asks.

"What is it?" Milly smiles.

"A good friend of mine doesn't have a place to live, and neither do I, and we were wondering if we could stay in the old ballroom."

Milly nods. "Sure! Anything for a friend!"

"Oh, and she will be attending this school."

Milly brightens up. "Great! I would love for her to be a part of the student council!"

"Hey Nina." C.C. turns to her.

"Yeah?"

"Could I have some bras and panties? My friend's don't fit her anymore."

Nina nods. "Okay! I'll bring them over to the ballroom."

"Bring Lelouch back any time!" Rivalz yells as she leaves. C.C. nods and carries me out of the room, setting me down in the hallway. We walk back to the old ballroom where I change into a girl. C.C. hands me a school uniform. Put this in the room upstairs. Nina will be coming any minu-" Just as she says that the door opens. I activate me Geass with 5 fingers and bolt up the stairs before she could see me.

"Hello Nina." I hear C.C. greet her.

"Here's these."

"Thanks." I wait until I hear the door open and shut again before I walk back down. C.C. hands me the bra and panties.

"Put these on."

I stand there flustered, hoping that C.C. will get the hint. When she finally does she sighs.

"Give them here."

I hand her the uniform and undergarments and she takes out a pair of white panties. She bends down and stretches them out below me.

"Step in."

I pick up my feet and put them in the holes. C.C. then pulls them up my legs. She looks back to the pile and gets out a pink bra.

"Hold up your arms." I do as she says and she wraps it just below my breasts and latches it together. Putting my arms through the holes, it feels a little tight. I turn around uncomfortably and C.C. is holding up the rest of my uniform. I put it on and self-consciously push the front of the skirt down with my hands. Making it out to the principal's office, he asks me what my name is.

"Luluko Lamperouge." I tell the same thing to all my teachers, surprising them then acting like nothing's wrong. A lot happens that first day, getting 47 guys' numbers, making the school record for fastest runner in gym, making president of the student council, but the one thing that catches my attention is a special broadcast on Zero. It said that he has been going to several schools to see all the kids. Also that Suzaku has revealed that he is alive.

"What is Suzaku doing?" I think as I eat the pizza I got from the student council. Milly, Nina, and Rivalz are freaking out about Suzaku being alive.

"I thought he died!" Rivalz says excitedly.

"I know right? And what if Zero visits our school?!" Alastair says behind them.

The former council all stop and look down. "Lelouch vi Britannia used to go to this school."

"What? You met the Demon Emporer?!" the twins stand up.

Rivalz nods sadly. "Him and Suzaku were our friends."

"Lelouch would be proud, you know. He didn't mean to do all those things." I try to comfort him.

Rivalz spins around. "How do you know that?"

I jump, startled. "He was a friend of mine too."

"No, I mean how do you know he didn't mean to do all those things?"

"Uh... Hunch?"

They all sigh. "Well, thanks for trying." Rivalz hangs his head.

"Let's not think about that. Do you want me to call Suzaku on Skype?"

They all smile and nod eagerly. My eyes widen and I stay away as far away as I can from the screen. They click a few things and, surprisingly, Suzaku's face appears on the screen.

"Hello?"

"SUZAKU!" his old friends yell, tears forming in their eyes.

"Guys! It's been forever!" he smiles.

"We thought you died!" Rivalz chokes out. Suzaku laughs.

"Well, I'm not."

"Hello!" Alastair shoves in the screen. "My name is Alastair!"

"Are you a part of the student council?" Suzaku asks.

He nods and Milly, Nina, and Rivalz step back and the other four step up. "We all are!" They introduce themselves one by one, Suzaku smiling and waving at each one.

"So, which one of you guys is the president?" he finally asks.

"She's being a scaredy cat. Luluko! Get over here!"

"I'd rather not." I stutter.

"Come on! You weren't this shy with the awesome speech you gave! You sounded like a real leader!"

Suzaku tilts his head. "It's fine. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to. Now, my laptop is running out of battery. I'll see you guys later."

"BYE!" they all wave. I sigh with relief and stand up.

"Can I take some of this pizza to C.C.?"

"Yeah, and don't forget! The cross-dressing festival is coming up!" Milly reminds me.

"Don't remind me."

Milly smiles maliciously, making me shudder. "Well, okay. I'll be going now." I put some pizza on a plate and rush out of the room.

When I make it back to the ballroom, C.C. meets me at the door. "Pizza!" she gasps and takes it from my hand. Rolling my eyes, I walk over to the computer to check up on some political things. Suzaku's return from the dead and Zero's visitings are the main thing that's going on, but I find that Nunnally, Schneizel, and Cornelia are ruling alongside Zero.

"Nunnally seems happy." I think, smiling warmly.


THE NEXT MORNING... LELOUCH IS SLEEPING AT SCHOOL


The door bursts opens, waking me up. I keep my eyes closed, it must be some teacher.

"It seems we have a visitor!" the teacher says.

"Hello everyone." My eyes fly open and my head shoots up. Standing there at the front of the class is Suzaku, looking for something.

"PLEASE DON'T TELL ME I'M THE ONE HE'S LOOKING FOR." I grab one of Alastair's big books and hide my face as good as I can behind it.

"Luluko?" he asks me with confusion.

I glare at him but Suzaku hears it. He looks in my direction and smiles. "Can I borrow Luluko?" he asks the teacher.

"Please say no, please say no!"

"That's fine!"

"SHIT."

I look up as Suzaku makes his way over to me. He takes my hand and I jump up and glare at him. I rip it from his hand and walk as quick as I can out of the room, making it out before he does and finding Anya, Jeremiah, and Kallen waiting for me. My eyes widen and I back away from them.

"Wait!" Kallen yells as I start to run away. Using my 5 finger Geass, I bolt down the hall. Skipping the stairs and just jumping down to the bottom, I swing myself around and run out the door, trying to get to the ballroom. I hear the door open behind me and I look over my shoulder to see Suzaku, Kallen, Anya, and Jeremiah chasing me. Turning back around, I run as fast as I can. Suddenly, everything slows dramatically and my hair grows shorter and I grow taller. I stop and turn around to see Jeremiah using his Geass canceler.

I gasp and run behind the ballroom, hoping that they didn't see me run back here. I pant there as C.C. runs up to me.

"Why aren't you a girl?" she asks.

"Su-gasp-za-gasp-ku."

"What?"

"Suzaku, Jeremiah, Anya, and Kallen. Chase. Run. Canceler. Blegh."

C.C. gets the point. "They found you?"

I nod. "I think they're going to bring me to Nunnally!"

"What's so bad about that?"

"What if she doesn't want to see me?"

Just as I say that, Suzaku leaps down in front of me. I spin around and push off with one of my legs but he grabs me from behind.

"Let go!" I yell at him, kicking and trying to slip out of his grasp.

"No! You're siblings want to see you!"

"No they don't! Now let GO!" My Geass eye flashes and blocks out the canceler, and I kick Suzaku away from me. Using my power to jump onto the roof, I smile back down at him.

"You can't beat me!"

Suzaku, of course, had a back-up plan. "Oh yeah! How do you think I got here?!"

I tilt my head in confusion, then it hits me. "NO WAY!" I spin around and Kallen's Guren is flying towards me silently. I'm about to jump away when it's hands grab me.

"WHAT THE HELL!" I pound my fists against the hands as it brings me down to the ground.

"Come on, Lelouch! What Geass would help you out of this!" I realize that I need to get smaller, so I put four fingers to my chest. Kallen, who had just gotten out of the Knightmare, notices and snaps her fingers.

"Crap. I owe Suzaku 5 bucks now. I really thought you were going to use 3 fingers." she smiles. I'm a cat at this point, and jumping out of the large, metallic hands. Suzaku smiles for some reason I don't know, and pulls out his phone. I'm about to deactivate it when Suzaku presses a button on it and when I try to change back I can't.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I meow at him. he can't understand me of course, but he gets the idea.

He grins and turns his phone around for me to see. On it is the Geass symbol with STILLER reading on the bottom.

"It makes you unable to activate or deactivate your Geass."

Something moves behind me and ,before I can even turn around, Kallen shoves me into an animal cage. She gets back in her Knightmare and flies off as Suzaku picks up the cage. He carries me to a limo and the driver is none other than Ohgi.

"Let's go."

As we start driving I let out an high-pitched, whiny meow. After doing this over and over, Suzaku breaks.

"UGH, SHUT UP!" He opens the door and throws a whit cloth in. I walk up and sniff it, then realize that was a bad idea. Drowsiness blurs my vision and I stumble out of the cage. Suzaku picks me up and sets me on his lap as I drift into sleep.


Sorry that this chapter is so rushed, but I kept hitting ctrl and a letter, so after I wrote like 1,000 words, the tab deleted, and I had to start over. I was too frustrated to write in detail afterwards, so I just shortened it as much as I could. I'm extremely lazy.
