The next day at school, Light decided to try to join the student council so that he could talk with Lelouch more. He knew that if anyone suspected them of being Kira and Zero it would raise suspicion, but as far as he knew no one suspected him or Lelouch at all. When he arrived in the student council room, he found only Rivalz Cardemonde.

"Oh, sorry," Light said, turning around to leave.

"Hey wait, were you looking for someone?" Rivalz called before the door closed.

"Lelouch actually," Light said, standing in the doorway.

"I can take you to him!" Rivalz said, grabbing a box and walking over to the door. "He was helping Madam Pres and Shirley set up for a party we're having, and I'm heading there right now too!"

"Okay, thanks," Light said, following Rivalz to a room set up with streamers and balloons.

"Thanks Rivalz, you can set the box on the table," Milly Ashford called from across the room, seeing Light when she did. "Oh! What brings you here?"

"Well, I was actually wondering if I could join the student council," Light said.

Lelouch walked in at that moment and stared in surprise at Light.

"Light? What are you doing here?" Lelouch asked, slight panic running through his head.

"I was hoping I could join the student council," Light stated, knowing that he would have to reassure Lelouch about the whole thing later.

"Well Vice Pres, what do you think?" Milly asked as she walked over to them.

"Well...I suppose it's fine," Lelouch said, still not too comfortable with having Light join.

"Great! That means we can have a double party!" Milly said excitedly.

"Who's this party for anyway?" Light asked.

"Well, Suzaku just joined as well, so we're throwing a party for him!" Milly said, handing some streamers to Light. "Would you mind hanging these?"

"Don't you think it's a bit odd making Light hang streamers since this is his party?" Lelouch asked with a tilt of his head.

"We need all the help we can get though! So get back to work!" Milly said, trying to sound stern as she walked back over to where she had been blowing up balloons. Lelouch just sighed and grabbed the paper he had come there for before heading back to the kitchen to make the food.

After the setup for the party was finished, Lelouch led Light to his room so they could talk.

"Why did you join the student council?" Lelouch asked the minute the door closed behind Light.

"I figured it would be fine since no one suspects us," Light explained.

"But even so..." Lelouch muttered, having come to that same conclusion earlier.

"I'll make sure our contact outside of...work is minimal. That way if someone really does suspect you or me, their suspicions won't grow when they see us together," Light said.

"Fine," Lelouch said. "But now that you're right here, let's talk about your outfit."

"Do we have to change it? I figured it would be fine since I'm not making a public appearance," Light said, still hoping that Lelouch wouldn't give him an elaborate costume like the one he had..

"You might have to now that you've joined with me, though. After all, we need to let people know somehow."

Light sighed before saying, "Fine, but I'm not making it as flashy as yours."

"Good. Now then, we better get back before Madame Pres gets mad at us," Lelouch said with a smirk.

"Right," Light said, following Lelouch back to the student council room.

…

Since the party went well into the night, Lelouch and Light were unable to go to the Black Knights' vehicle that day. They were able to the next day, though, which was good because Zero had something planned. Zero was sitting in the main room watching TV while also discussing Kira's new outfit, when his phone started ringing. He quickly went to his room to answer it, and after a brief conversation, he came back out to make an announcement.

"I have a surprise for you all, so follow my instructions."

"What kind of surprise are we talking about?" Tamaki asked.

"It wouldn't be much of a surprise if I told you, now would it?" Zero questioned, smiling a little under his mask at Tamaki's childishness. "I'm going to enter some coordinates into the GPS, and then one of you will drive there."

"Why can't you do it?" Ohgi asked, curious.

"I'm going to be busy with other things, which is why I'll be having someone else drive," Zero said, only lying a bit. It was true that he would be busy with other things, but the truth was that he hadn't learned to drive yet and needed someone else to do it. "Any volunteers?"

"I think Tamaki should do it," Toru Yoshida suggested.

"Really?" Tamaki asked.

"Of course. It shouldn't be too hard for him to follow the directions," Kallen said.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Tamaki asked.

"Just that it's something that's pretty easy to do," Kallen said, trying not to smile at Tamaki's outburst.

Once Zero had entered in the coordinates and Tamaki was in the driver's seat, Zero headed back to his private quarters with Kira.

"So, what's this surprise anyway?" Kira asked when the door closed.

"Some new equipment," Zero stated as he took off his mask.

"That's it?" Kira asked, deciding to take off his own mask as well.

"I don't want to say too much. After all, I want it to be a surprise for you as well."

"Alright," Kira said.

"Now then, back to what we were discussing before with your outfit," Zero said. "What do you think about this?"

Zero handed Kira a piece of paper with a few designs on it. After a few minutes, Kira pointed to one of them and said, "That one should be fine."

"Alright, I'll make sure to put it together for you tonight," Zero said, taking the designs back. "I'll get it to you early tomorrow."

"Why the rush?" Kira asked.

"Because we're going to be busy for the rest of the weekend."

"Busy?"

"Zero, we're here!" Kallen called.

"You'll find out later," Zero said as he put his mask back on, Kira doing the same.
