It's the Ashford Academy School Festival and both Britannians and Elevens are there to have fun. Meanwhile, Suzaku Kururugi is chopping onions at unnatural speeds for the giant pizza that the Ashford Student Council is making at the festival. Kallen Stadfeld, or Kallen Kouzuki as she prefers, walks up behind Suzaku and takes out her knife to assassinate him. "Thats a relief" ,Suzaku said without even looking at Kallen, she just stopped in her tracks,"I thought that you were never going to come back to school". "It's on purpose! Why didn't you tell anyone who I really am?" Kallen said, slightly confused. "Your Kallen Stadfeld right now aren't you? Not Kallen Kouzuki, right?" Suzaku says. "Were you trying to draw me in by being friendly?" Kallen asked almost completely confused. "On the battlefeild I won't show any mercy, but I want to try and persuade you here. I know this is against the rules but while we're at school, I'd rather try to change your mind here than defeat you in combat later", said Suzaku. "There's something different about you", Kallen said. "Hey Kallen?" said Suzaku. "Hmm..What is it?" asked Kallen. "I was wondering if you could set up a short meeting with Zero? I just wanted to thank him for helping me take back Kyushu and for saving my life by desrtroying those Chinese Fedaration Gun rus and giving me an Energy Filler for the Lancelot so I could continue to fight" said Suzaku, Kallen was confused," It's ok if its just over a communications line or even just the phone. He made it possible for me to come back to my friends, so I just wanted to thank him...even if we are enemies". Kallen wasn't sure what to say. Was it a trap or was Suzaku serious about actually thanking Zero. "I'll see what I can do Suzaku, but don't expect much", Kallen said as she walked out. The door opened again and Lelouch walked in. "Hey Suzaku. How are the onions coming along? We're going to need them soon", said Lelouch. "I'm almost done", said Suzaku as he was finishing cutting up the last few onoins, he suddenly stopped, "Hey Lelouch?" "Yeah Suzaku? What is it?" asked Lelouch. "Would it be weird to thank my worst enemy for saving my life and helping me?" asked Suzaku. "What do you mean?" Lelouch asked. "I'm not supposed to say this, but Zero showed up at Kyushu in a prototype knightmare called Gawain. He saved my life by destroying some gunroos that were surrounding me. He gave me a new Energy Filler for the Lancelot and helped me take back Kyushu" said Suzaku. "I guess it's time to start lying", thought Lelouch. "Zero was there? The news said that the Black Knights weren't involved. I didn't believe it but I didn't know for sure", lied Lelouch. "Thats because they covered it up so it wouldn't look like the military is weak. But Zero was there on his own and he offered to help me. We worked together like we had known each other for years. I don't know why, but it felt like I knew the person behind the mask", said Suzaku. "This isn't good. He might be getting close to finding out that I'm Zero", thought Lelouch. "I don't think it's weird. He saved your life. Even if you are enemies, thanking him is right thing to do. I've got to go check on some things down at the festival before Milly hunts me down or Shirley accuses me of gambling again. Don't forget to be at the stage in 30 minutes for the making of the giant pizza", Lelouch said before taking off down the hall.
The rest of the festival went on without a problem...execpt for the stage that the pizza was on collapsed under the weight of the pizza before they even put the toppings on. Suzaku was walking down the hall to his locker when he heard someone behind him. He turned around so fast that it was like he wasn't even facing the other way. He was surprised to see Princess Euphemia li Britannia wearing a disguise. "Wha-? Euphy? What are you doing here?" asked a very confused Suzaku. "I came to have some fun at the festival. Then I ran into Nunally", said Euphy. "Uhhh...so you found out that she and Lelouch are alive?" Suzaku asked already knowing the answer. "Yes Suzaku I do know. Before you say anything, I just want you to know that I understand why you didn't tell anyone about them being alive", said Euphy. "Thanks for understanding. We can go do something if you want to. I just have to get my stuff from my locker", said Suzaku as he opened his locker. "Sure. We could hang out here at festival. It would be hard for people like he media to recognize me in this disguise with so many people",said Euphy as something fell out of Suzaku's locker," Hey whats this?" she added as she picked it up. It was an envelope with Suzaku's name written on it. "I don't know. Lets open it and see", said Suzaku as he opened it. South Docks, Peir 5. Tonight. 8:00pm. Come alone and unarmed. "I wonder who sent this?" Euphy asked. "I don't know...but Im going", said Suzaku. "What! Why?" asked Euphy. "I have to. It could be some kind of informant", said Suzaku. "Could Kallen have gotten me that meeting with Zero?"
