Chapter 10: The Midnight Summer Festival, The lost Cheese-kun
The sun broke through the curtains of each room in the summer house. The rays touched his face and he stirred. "mmmm...." he made a very small sound. He slowly opened his eyes and tried to get up but unfortunately something or rather someone was pulling him down. He tried to stir to where his captor came from, C.C., who was likely sleeping soundly. Lelouch sighed. We're back to pretending now... right? A smile crept on his lips. Lelouch searched for the yellow plushie which had always been their wall on bed, where did it go?
He slowly removed the witch's arms around him; they gently fell into the soft cushion. A slight creaking sound was made as he stood. The girl with green hair stirred but didn't wake up.
C.C. heard the door closed with a click, her hands searched for her plushie. Where is it?! Her eyes shot open desperately looking for 'Cheese-kun'. She sat up searching the whole room, it was lost... gone to somewhere dark and cold... alone.
"LELOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed out his name.
Lelouch came rushing to their room as he heard his name screamed about by the witch with green hair. He opened the door and was greeted by an angered witch.
"Where is Cheese-kun?!" she raised an angry brow.
"I don't know I've been looking for it since this morning..."because I know you'd blame me if it went missing... he rolled his eyes with the conclusion on his head.
"If it's not you then who?" she asked. She sighed.
"Let's ask the others if they have seen it..." concluded Lelouch.
"..." she nodded as a riposte. "Where the hell did Cheese-kun went!?" she mumbled angrily.
The others were happily chatting about how the day went by that morning. Nunnally was enjoying her time chatting with Kallen about how her brother acted when he's around girls, "by the sound of it" added Nunnally after every reaction that she imagined about her brother. Kallen was laughing hard. "I can't believe it" or "he did that!" was all Kallen could reply between breaths.
Milly and Shirley along with Nina were talking about an upcoming event that summer, the summer festival. Milly's eyes were sparkling with fun ideas on how to make Lelouch fall for Shirley or make a rivalry between Shirley and C.C., Shirley's had her eyes with an overview of what would happen at the festival with of course "Lelouch" while Nina was happily grinning with ideas about her new invention and was daydreaming about Euphemia praising her and commenting wonderful things about her.
Lelouch sighed at the sight of the girls.
C.C. entered the dinning hall with an interrogative sentence: "WHO KIDNAPPED CHEESE-KUN!!!!!?" she burst.
Everyone stopped at what they were doing, even Euphy and Suzaku who were in the verge of almost kissing each other... 'Phew...Glad they didn't notice' that was what Suzaku had thought. 'Damn just when... he...' the princess of Britannia sighed with a blush.
C.C. grumbled under her breath when no one admitted.
"Calm down! Will you?!" Lelouch scolded.
"How can I calm down when I'm missing my favourite doll!!!" she sharply replied. They both glared at each other until sparks came clashing. "I'm missing part of me!!"
"So... who is this cheese-kun and what does it look like...?" calmly came the princess's question. C.C. looked at the princess.
She sighed and took a deep breath as she started her description about her doll, her plush toy Cheese-kun. She described the doll as of course squishy, fun to hug and that it comforts her every night.
"She's not asking those things." Lelouch's sharply and flatly riposte.
"Who asked you to butt in our conversation?!" raised C.C.
"CALM DOWN!! BOTH OF YOU!" the Princess of Britannia could not take any more arguments from the two while she was in the middle, their raising voices had made her ears a little deaf, her eyes were rolling back and forth between the two, she came to a conclusion that they both have to stop their lovers quarrel.
The two love birds looked at her with very confused expressions. They didn't realize that they have been on each others throat screaming due to them being impatient and due to them being both short tempered.
"Euphy is right, you guys have been on each other's throat for at least half the day" Milly Ashford reassured those who were in the room.
"Onii-sama, you should lower your temper too... please do not clash with C.C.'s mood..."smiled Nunnally.
"Of course...." he replied.
"Well now... if that simple argument is settled why don't we go search for it here in the summer house?" Milly said. "It's time for another of Ashford Academy's activity! The Treasure hunt! The first one who finds the lost plushie, described by C.C.-san will win a two-day presidential power all over Ashford which of course one rule will be added to the rule book... Anyway... C.C. if you please... may you depict this... plushie?"
C.C. sighed; she really wished she could be a president of Ashford Academy so she could implant a rule for Pizza week. She sighed for the nth time.
"Cheese-kun was a toy from Pizza hut, it is yellow… yes of course… it has this small black hat… it's squishy and has a very plain but cute face… I guess that is just about it…"
"Oh is it the limited edition plush from Pizza hut??" squealed Milly.
C.C. just nodded.
"Just before we start off we need to modify the rules first! This will be a two pair race… Now I have again these popsicle sticks engraved on it our names…"
"Wait Milly-san… I won't join" Nunnally said.
"Me too…" Nina said as a second demotion.
"Oh, alright…" the student council president removed their sticks and reshuffled them. One by one they picked their sticks.
"Damn it! Why can't I pair with Lelouch?" Shirley quietly said to herself.
"What was that?" asked Lelouch.
"Oh… it's nothing…"
"So… the pairings are… Lelouch and C.C…. oooh! As always… love never fails!"
"Milly!" Lelouch blushed in embarrassment.
"Shirley and Rivals… Kallen and Me… and oooh…. Another love pair… Suzaku and Euphy!"
"Mou…. Milly-san…"
"Yosh! Let's get started! Okay on the count of three… we start!" Milly exclaimed. "Oh by the way! The time limit is at 5:30 pm in front of the yacht…"
"Why?" everyone questioned her.
"One!" She said in a loud voice of excitement to avoid the question asked.
"Wait" someone said, Milly stopped the count. "When do we run? On three or after three?"
"Whenever is fine!" she answered a little bit frustrated.
"TWO!!" exclaimed both Suzaku and Euphemia.
"Three!" Shirley and Kallen said with excitement.
"GO!!" C.C. and Lelouch looked at each other with a determined face, nodded and ran off for the search hand in hand.
Smiles on their faces were painted with different colors; everyone was enjoying looking for this 'kidnapped' plushie.
A few hours already passed by, there are fifteen minutes left till five-thirty in the afternoon and no one had found this lost plushie.
Lelouch slumped down near a wall on the back yard just below their room.
"Ugh… Where do you think it ran off to?!" he barked.
"I don't know… the next thing I was hugging it and the next thing it was gone!"
"I think you ate it…"
"Oh really? Why are you so sure about yourself that you didn't eat it?"
"tch" he paused and bit his lip "Do you remember anything? Before you lost him?"
"hmm" she bit her lower lip. "Pizza?"
"AGGGHH!!! I'm not asking you about PIZZA!!!" he yelled. "You pizza eating maniac…" he muttered.
"I wasn't referring to PIZZA as in PIZZA! I was referring to when I spilled hot sauce on it…"
"Uh huh… and then?"
"And then… I left it in the bathtub full of bubbly water around midnight so that the stain would… ooohhh"
"GOD! C.C!!!!" he slapped his forehead. "Awww… you made us look like idiots!"
"…" she didn't reply but started to run for their room. Ten minutes left till the meeting time. C.C. jumped above Rivals who was searching under a couch, followed by Lelouch who was a mere victim of C.C.'s dragging. The two were running like there was no tomorrow. Both ran up the stairs hand in hand, alas! The door opened leading to their room. The witch dragged the warlock into the bathroom.
"Good! There's still water!" she exclaimed in relief.
"GOD DAMN IT C.C.!!!! you made me run like a cheetah for Pete's sake!" he panted in between breaths.
C.C. ignored his complaints and walked towards their bath tub. She searched for the plushie for a minute or so, her hands searching the vast space of the tub until she felt something soft yet heavy.
She used both of her hands to carry it, but to no use she needed his help. Lelouch got to her in a moment and both tried to carry Cheese-kun out of the tub.
"HOW HEAVY IS THIS THING!!?" complained Lelouch. In a few moments both exerted their last efforts on pulling it out, at last it did came out but with consequences.
"I'm wet!" he complained again.
"Do you think you're the only one?" she raised a brow.
Both sighed and fell into the bathtub.
"This feels refreshing…" commented C.C.
"I guess so…" he slumped down further, deeper into the bathtub, a blush crept on his face, as he saw her curves revealing through her thin white clothing, a polo shirt and a short skirt to be exact. Lelouch mentally slapped himself again. Never ever do such stupid things!
The Ashford's student council president was waiting patiently 'not' at the meeting place, the yacht.
"Geez, where are they? It's already pass the meeting time!" she muttered as she looked at her wrist watch for the 8th time.
Just a short few moments, Euphy and Suzaku along side Shirley and Rivals emerged from a distance. Shirley waved from a distance.
"Kaichou!!!!"
"Hey! There they are!" exclaimed Kallen.
"So now that we're complete let's head off to our destination!" the blonde exclaimed.
"Where?" asked Rivals.
"Oh… you'll see…" a grin spread on her lips.
"Where's Lelouch and C.C?" Euphemia questioned.
"Oh, they… they're changing… they should be out in… right now" as if by cue, Lelouch emerged wearing a very formal and handsome dark blue yukata. His hair was still a little wet from their accident making it shine under the moonlight.
"Oooohhh…. Lelouch you look gorgeous!" exclaimed the president in delight.
Shirley and Kallen had felt a burning hot sensation on their cheeks.
Why is he so handsome in his clothing for Pete's sake! Shirley thought.
Why is he wearing Japanese clothing?! Stadfield thought. But then again, I wished Zero was this gorgeous!
Lelouch sighed as if he had heard everything the two girls had thought. Suzaku walked up to him and patted him.
"Way to go Lelouch! Girls are drooling over you!" Rivals commented.
Lelouch blushed.
"Anyway… Where is C.C.?" asked Rivals Cardemonde.
"Wait and see…." The president yet again has her creepy grin pasted on her lips.
As if again by cue, C.C. walked down the from the upper stairs of the yacht, he hair tied up in a very beautiful bundle, her hair was a little bit curled on the end and her bangs felt like it flowed smoother down her face. She was clothed in a light pink yukata with embroideries of cherry blossoms. Her complexion was bathed in moonlight that made her glow like a god.
Everyone stopped.
"What are you guys looking at?!" she shouted out of embarrassment. Lelouch snapped out of his trance.
"Beautiful" was the only word he muttered. C.C.'s heart stopped a beat as if they we're stopped in time.
"What do you mean…?" her confusion was pasted on her pale face.
Lelouch reached out his hand "you're MY witch… and I'm YOUR warlock… everything about you is beautiful because you belong to me…"
Just a few seconds before she reached out to him, time had started to move again.
"You look great!"
"Very beautiful C.C.-san!"
"I agree!"
"Now now… don't feel so entranced… we're going to changed in to those… er… elevens clothing… what are they?"
"YU-KA-TA" Lelouch spelled out.
"oh right.. yukatas!" exclaimed the blonde. "I just so love their designs! And it's comfortable too!" she twirled around showing of her clothing.
Everyone laughs as they set for the shrine of the nearest city…
JAP WORDS:
Kaichou- president
