Chapter 3 "The Act of Reminiscing"

"Shir-Shirley, wait up!" Lelouch said as he was gasping.

"C'mon, Lulu! You can do better than that." she said while laughing and running further from him.

As his lack of breath lessened, Lelouch attempted to run again. After a few minutes, he caught sight of her sitting by someone's front porch gracefully sipping a cup of tea.

"There you are, Lulu. I would've thought I've had to go back and get you. What took you so long?" Shirley greeted him while giggling a little at his defeat.

He never really excelled in physical measures. He preferred mental measures where he frequently stands out.

"I-i-i w-w-as ..." he managed to utter with a series of gasping.

"So... you really haven't changed in your physical attributes, Lelouch." a kind voice remarked.

When he lifted his face there he saw his pink haired and ever so innocent looking half sister, Euphemia li Britannia. He knew what he wanted to expect but this was far beyond it. It was because she held out her hand to help him get on his feet. This put a shock in his face.

'After everything I've done to you? You still manage to be so kind towards me like before...' he thought.

"Lelouch, what's with that face? You look like you've seen a ghost or something like that." Euphy said with a small giggle.

"At least greet your sister properly, Lulu." Shirley joined in with the laughing Euphemia.

"Euphy, why?" was all he can say.

"What's wrong, Lelouch?" Euphy said alarmed at his question.

"Why are you still so kind to me after everything I've done to you?" he asked confused.

"You're still my brother so I forgave you a long time ago." she said with a smile.

"Thank you, Euphy." he said and gave his sister a warm hug.

"You're always welcome, Lelouch." she said returning his hug.

'I'm glad that their back to the way they were before this whole mess started.' Shirley thought.
