Chapter 2: Get That Arthur

The four were walking on the streets while cars passed by, giving out suggestions and such for Lelouch to consider. "Perhaps we should get a puppy for Nunnally," said Shirley thoughtfully.

"Yeah, dogs can help the blind," said Suzaku as Lelouch glared at him.

"She wants a pet to play with not for helping her," said Lelouch firmly.

"But it can help her and play with her," responded Milly just as firmly.

"She specifically said she wanted a kitten," said Lelouch, walking away as his friends followed. "Maybe I should get her a hamster…" said Lelouch as he pulled Jenny out of his pocket.

"Let's check out the dogs," said Milly, trying to change the subject from hamsters.

"No," said Lelouch.

"Lulu," said Shirley as the two girls grabbed each of his arm and were pulling him while Suzaku was pushing him from behind. "No!"

"Too late, we're here," said Milly as it showed some puppies barking from behind the glass of the shop then Arthur ran behind Suzaku.

"I'm sorry, Arthur, but I think you have to stay out here," said Shirley as she bent down and patted Arthur on the head as he snuggled with her legs then they went inside.

"See, Lelouch? Puppies are cute and innocent," said Suzaku as a Labrador puppy licked his face and Lelouch showed a disgusted face.

"Aww! They're so cute!" said Shirley.

"You said the exact same thing to the kittens," said Suzaku.

"Hey, guys… where's Arthur?" asked Milly as all of them looked outside the shop and saw that Arthur wasn't there.

"Ahh! He was supposed to wait out there!" shouted Suzaku, placing his hands on his head as he then ran off.

"Wait, Suzaku!" Lelouch shouted, following him out.

"Uh, thank you, sir. For letting us look at the dogs," said Shirley as she and Milly ran out of the dog shop.


They ran after Arthur who was running across a road, luckily not getting hit by any cars, but unfortunately for Suzaku, he didn't realize how dangerous the road was. He stepped right into the dangerous road as his friends stopped right before sidewalk ended.

"Suzaku, look out!" shouted Lelouch as it went in slow motion and showed a car honking and driving towards Suzaku as Suzaku was running and breathing hard then Olympic music was playing. Suzaku jumped and did a dodge roll over the car as his friends looked up at him with awe then watched him get out of the road, rolling onto the sidewalk across the street. Everything went back to normal speed and the Olympic music stopped.

Lelouch and the others sighed as they waited for the red light to come. Suzaku was already catching up to Arthur until Suzaku accidentally hit into a mime and fell to the floor.

"No! Arthur!" said Suzaku miserably as he got up and tried to walk pass the mime, but the mime followed him. "Hey, get out of my way," said Suzaku, trying to go from the other side, but the mime kept following him. "I really need to go!" he tried to peek behind the mime and then he ran pass the mime when his opportunity arise, he pushed the mime out of the way as the mime got mad. "Sorry!" called Suzaku from the distance.


Lelouch and the girls were looking for their friend. "Ohhh… how do we know which street he took?" asked Shirley, looking through an alley then Lelouch approached the mime.

"Excuse me, have you seen a boy with brown hair and green eyes wearing the same uniform as me?" asked Lelouch, gesturing to his clothes as the mime followed him. "Hey, I'm serious," said Lelouch as he put his hands on his hips and the mime did the same thing.

"Do you really think a mime would help? I mean mimes just follow what you do and don't speak," said Milly, walking pass Lelouch and the mime then the mime turned around to face Milly.

"Hey, stop making fun of us mimes," said the mime angrily.

"Whoa! He talks?" asked Shirley.

"I thought mimes weren't supposed to talk," said Lelouch, raising an eyebrow.

"Just because I don't talk doesn't mean I can't talk," said the mime rudely.

"Well, okay, Mr. Mime, have you seen the brown haired boy?" asked Milly as she turned around.

"Yeah, I saw him. The jerk pushed me and ran off towards the park," said the mime.

"Thanks" said Shirley as she ran off with the others then they reached the park and saw Suzaku holding a black cat that looked like Arthur, but a lady was hitting him with her purse then they approached the lady and their friend. "Um… excuse me what happened?"

"This man is stealing my daughter's cat!" said the lady.

"Ow, ow! It's a misunderstanding," said Suzaku while getting whacked some more.

"Give back my kitty!" said a little girl, pulling her cat.

"Suzaku," said Milly angrily.

"What?" asked Suzaku as the cat got out of his grasp and ran to the little girl.

"Kitty!" said the little girl as she hugged the cat and her Mom stopped whacking Suzaku.

"What gender is it?" asked Lelouch gently to the little girl.

"It's a girl!" answered the little girl then all three of them looked at Suzaku and were glaring at him.

"What?" asked Suzaku again then the lady and her daughter left with their cat.

"Check before you take," sighed Shirley.

"It looked like Arthur," said Suzaku, shrugging.

"Did you lose Arthur?" asked a girl's voice from behind them as all four of them turned around.

"Yes," replied Milly as they saw a pink haired girl, holding Arthur.

"Euphemia, what are you doing here?" asked Lelouch.

"Oh! Clovis and I were taking a walk through the park until Arthur came up to us," said Euphemia, handing Arthur over to Shirley then Lelouch peeked behind Euphemia to see a greenish blonde haired man smelling some roses.

"Arthur, the next time I say stay I mean it," said Suzaku as Arthur bit his hand and he screamed.


Dun, dun, dun! Euphemia and Clovis lives!
