*slowly opens door and peeks over*
… Hehehe~
How's everyone doing? Look I know it's been exactly one year since I started this fic but-
*face gets hit by a kick, launching her out of the door and into the room*
*door opens to reveal her OC Allie with a deadpanned look and hand on hip*
Allie: Please excuse my writer for her horrible procrastination skills. Since she is now doing her second semester as a college freshman, her time will be taken due to taking two language classes, a lab, and a class that requires reading many chapters of novels written by ancient people. And by ancient I mean 1 AD kind of authors.
Anyways, thank you AnimePanda101, AppoXand Cookielova for pointing out her spelling mistakes. (F****** Microsoft and spell check…) and also AnimePanda101,Boomerpyro,LadyDream3512,Fishy-Ninja, and Guest for reviewing.

*I pop out of nowhere* For the chapters, I'll try and follow the episodes (so this fic should finish around 20 chapters) but I might do timeskips if I deem it necessary.
Now that that's over, enjoy the official chapter 1!
*runs away from her OC's punishment*
My eye hasn't stopped twitching since the speech on Clovis's murder was over.
As I followed the rest of my classmates out, I close my eyes and take a deep breath, keeping it in for a few seconds before letting it out.
I can't stay irritated for long, I thought, moving away from some pushy freshmen. Who knows what can happen…
"Hey Lelouch! Got anything going on later?" My eyes widen and I hide behind a pillar, watching and eavesdropping a certain trio of Ashford students. "After all, classes have been cancelled for the day. Folks have been asking about a rematch."
"You are not gambling you guys!" the orange-haired girl exclaimed (Shirley Joseph Fenette, member of the student council who also has a massive crush on Lamperouge)
"C'mon, don't be such a stick in the mud!" She's not as bad as a certain Uchia…
"She's right though. Maybe it's time to quit," Lelouch interrupts while I shift to hide better.
"Huh?" Rivalz asks.
"I found a better opponent actually." I call bullshit on that!
"You did?" Shirley questions. "I don't get it." What is there not to get?
"You're cutting me in on the action too, right?" My attention wavers as I watch Kallen pass by. As Lamperouge laughs, I glance at him before looking back. Maybe…
"Better not. It's not really up your alley," Lelouch says to Rival. As he tries to weasel out who his newest victim is, he caught a flash of blue behind a pillar. Is that…?
Before he could take a step, Rival and Shirley began to argue with one another again about his gambling antics. When he stopped their arguments and suggested they headed to the student council room, he took a chance to check the pillar.
He was a little disappointed to see no one there.
So this is the famous Tokyo Tower? I thought, staring at what once was a beautiful piece of culture for this country. How the mighty have fallen.
Despite my disappointment and raging hatred for the Britianians, I walk into the sad excuse of a museum to get my ticket and observe.
And by "observe", I mean spying on Kallen.
I know I said I wanted to not get involve with their problems, I thought, staring at the posters and ignoring the female speaker, but I can't help it. I'm practically in a fangirls dream of being in an anime! Well sure I'm trapped in a country where two warring factions are butting heads and trying to get their lands back while the initial setting of the show is held placed where the supreme country is spewing out racists speeches on the losers of the war…
My eyes go wide and I feel myself sweating. Is stalking Kallen really a good idea?!
As soon as I thought that, my body tenses when I see a familiar school outfit in my peripheral vision stand by another poster beside me. Being very careful and looking completely natural, I pull out my phone (Wish I still had my iPhone) and open it, looking as if I'm checking some messages when I'm really using the reflection to see who it was.
Even if the image is disfigured, I can recognize that red hair anywhere. Well shit.
Sighing, I put my phone back in my hoody's pocket and walk off, making sure to look like I'm completely bored-which isn't hard-and not recognize the very familiar redhead who can totally pull me into a headlock before I can say "Jap-Elevens!"
Stopping near the glass-wall, I scratch my head. I wonder if I should brush up on my fighting skills. Then I blink and scowled. What kind of suggestion is that?! I needto brush up on them! Who knows when one day ill get into a headlock and need to get out of it while also disarming the guy who put me into said headlock!
"…" And I sigh again. I am arguing with myself. Great~
Deciding I need to stop this, I turn around-
And immediately make sure to school my face into a mask because holy crap Lelouch is here andI'mnot wearinganyglassesorawistohidemyappearanceshiiiiiitttt-
I pull out my phone, "checked" my messages, and groan audibly. This is not my day. I need to leave. Now.
"Excuse me miss." Damn it Lelouch!
I turn around to see said guy talking to the receptionist and showing her a phone. "I found this on the floor while I was touring. I recognize it to belong to a fellow friend of mine. Her name is Kallen Stadtfield and we both attend Ashford Academy. Do you mind if you can send out a page for her?"
"Of course young man," she says. Her faces blooms into a light pink as the pretty boy "brushes" her hand as he gives her the phone. Before he turns he leans forward and tells her something, prompting her to giggle. Jeez lady, your like-what?-in your early thirties? Don't be a cougar! He's-for the lack of term-playing you for a fool.
As he walks off, I stare at the lone woman at the reception desk. Maybe…
The unmemorable woman-whom we shall call Barbara for now-couldn't help but sigh as the young man walked off. If only she could have a boyfriend as handsome and pleasant as him. If she wasn't so old-I mean, so mature, maybe she could have a chance-
"Excuse me."
She looked up to see a teenage girl with blue hair in a ponytail and wearing casual set of jeans, sneakers and hood. She seemed to be staring at the phone in her hand, causing Barbara to straighten into her business façade and give the girl a smile. "Yes? How may I help you?"
"May I see that phone for a second?"
Before Barbara could get a word in, the bluenette took the phone out of her hand and flipped it open. "Excuse me!" she said flustered, trying to take the phone back from the teen. "But you shouldn't-"
The teen suddenly laughs, causing the very confused woman to blink. "I'm sorry," the teen says, holding in her chuckles as she gave the woman back the phone. "I couldn't help but wonder why a fellow classmate of mine wanted to give this phone away." At her confused look, the teen explained, "You see, I happened to overhear the conversation that you two had. I knew for certain that Lelouch didn't happen to 'find' the phone and wondered why he wanted to give Kallen the phone." Her laughs came back again. "And now I know why~"
She then leans over and gestures Barbara to come closer. "Don't let her know that me and Lelouch were here, otherwise the prank won't work."
Barbara gives her a scandalous look. "P-prank?"
Her smile grows wider, showing off teeth. "Remember: don't let her know or the effect will be ruined~."
Then she stands back and walked away.
All Barbara could do was stare at the strange girl. Who was she? Then she shook her head and picked up the phone. I guess I can play along. Then she blinked. Wait. Who was I talking to gain?
Said teen was far away from the Tower, panting with one hand on her knee and the other on the wall. "Why am I always such a risk taker?" she questions herself. After she got her breathe back, she stood up, picked up her phone, detaching a cord and placing the bud into her ear. "I can't believe I'm doing this."
"Once again, I can't. Believe. I'm doing this." I muttered, staring at my computer screen streaming the "parade" starring you know who in the comforts of my apartment. While living at the academy may seem like a great idea, I 1) don't have enough funds to pay for it and 2) don't want to be near any of the cast members just incase I get attached. Too late for that, I thought, shaking my head and focusing on the screen just at the moment Lelouch-I mean, Zero introduced himself. One for theatrics, you are~ I smirked.
Then I frowned as Suzaku was shocked by the collar they put on his neck. I never liked how Britianians used force an any means necessary to get their result. The exception being Lelouch, since-you know, he practically died to create the world his sister wanted. While the Britianians…
"In exchange, this for Kururugi," Zero said, snapping me out of my thoughts. Oh right. They're bargaining Suzaku's freedom. I should pay attention to this.
"Like hell." My thoughts exactly Orange.
As they continued on, I glanced over to my phone (Still wish it was my iPhone). I thought back to what I did today.
"Why am I always such a risk taker?" she questions herself. After she got her breathe back, she stood up, picked up her phone, detaching a cord and placing the bud into her ear. "I can't believe I'm doing this."
Pulling out another phone, she connected the other end of the cord to the phone, turned it on and pressed a few buttons. Instantly binary codes flashed onto the screen before it cleared up. Once it happened, a call was connected.
"Um, hello?"
"I want you to board the outbound train on Lue Bound 5 and bring your friends."
"What?"
She smiles triumphantly. It worked, she thought to herself.
I can't believe I had hacked into that call in just a matter of seconds. Picking up the phone, I gasp the edges and pulled out the cover, revealing a complicated mass of wires and panels. Just by saving the number or calling a phone, this fake cell can gain complete access to any calls made. I lean back on my couch, putting the cover back on before dangling the phone in my face. All because of one little toy…
I looked at my desk, where a certain drawer contained something very important to me. Could give me so much access. I stared back at the phone, glancing at the screen to Zero escaping with Suzaku. Whoever made this for me, I need to thank them personally. I look back to my laptop to see the time. "Enough monologue," I muttered, shutting the computer closed and stretching my arms up. "Time to go to bed." But as I did my nightly rituals, I couldn't help but think back onto my actions today.
Why… why did I do that? And how?
Once Lelouch finally returned to the comforts of his home-completely ignoring the green haired girl who died and came back to life only for him to find her making origami with his sister-he recalled everything that he had done today. So far his plans have been going well, especially how he successfully gained the attention and trust of Kallen and her Japanese companions. Along with the great spectacle he put on for the entire world (although creating Jeremiah into a scapegoat made him feel a tad bit guilty), he can now say that everything is going according to plan.
The only hiccup is Suzaku denying his offer of joining him and his goal.
Damn it Suzaku, he cursed inwardly, leaning back on his chair and running a hand through his hair. Why did you not accept it? I wanted to help you after all these years!
Even though he thought it, he tried to stop his lips from forming into a smile. But I guess… Suzaku wouldn't be Suzaku without his idealist views and all. No matter how idiotic they are.
Shaking his head, he sat up and looked out his window. I wonder what will happen now. Since the most talked about news is Zero, things are bound to get interesting as time passes. His eyes flickered up to the moon. A full moon, huh? Even in the darkest of shadows it can still shine a bright silver light.
He blinked. Silver?
As he walked away from the women-who is now under his power-and heads toward the exit, he reaches for his disposable phone from his pocket when a flash of silver caught his eye. Following that shine, he starts when he sees a bluenette talking to the receptionist, but at his angle and with a group of people in his sight, he can't see what the two females are talking about. As he attentively exits the tower and glances at the phone, noting the time, he looks back at the desk only to see the lone woman ready to page Kallen. Turning his head back and waiting by a light post, he can't help but frown. Who was that girl?
With everything happening so quickly and with such progress, he had forgotten about that little event. And now since all of the excitement has died down and he can relax, his mind can now process everything that has happened to him over the past few hours.
Especially with that girl.
Why does she look familiar? He thought, resting his head on his fist. Blue hair isn't common, so meeting someone with blue hair shouldn't be too difficult to remember. Just who has blue hair-
Lelouch couldn't help but stare as the blue-haired girl walked away from him nonchalantly. He can't remember seeing someone like her (what, with the pink-eyes, black-and-white knee-high socks, and blue-layered high reaching below her shoulders with silver bangs) and having this strange girl rattle off what she knew about him… was unnerving.
And those eyes… her body language said she was calm and composed but her eyes…
They were hiding a raging fire of irritation and… knowing.
As if she knew who he really was.
His eyes widened. Her?
What will happen now? Iona falls further and further into the Code Geass plot, Lelouch is now suspecting her and will now keep a close eye on her, and Allie had successfully beaten me to a pulp!
Allie: You and your damn healing skills.
Don't forget the powers of ze AUTHOR~! XD
Allie: …
Well guys I hope to see you again for the next chapter of "What can POSSIBLY go wrong"~ Stay tuned~
