Sorry it took so long. Computer complications with me recently, My Lelouch had problems long before that, but we're sorting it all out for you guys to enjoy more, alright? ^__^ So, I'm proud to present, my lovelies, the final chapter of the 1st season. An Odd Kind Of Story..


Of course, the hours went past and the following day arrived. Just a note; If Lola wasn't affected by Lelouch's Geass command, she'd be steaming. The girl can really fume and you wouldn't want to see that. But, as payback, she'd pretend that it had actually worked and just stretch it until the point came where Lelouch broke. But, that'd only be her way of going about it all. Who says Lelouch'll break. He's not so easy, right? Lola woke up a bit earlier than she usually did, with no recollection of most what happened yesterday, though this wasn't strange to her, even if she remembered waking up late so many times before "...." Well, she could be one of the first people to class today? No, that didn't sound like her at all. Maybe, she'd go find Milly? Holiday events should be coming up or whatever crazy idea Milly had in mind and she had an idea. She got ready for class, bag in her hand. She'd still have to go to class today. Lola skipped out of her room, the dorms, then made her way to the main student council office at a relaxed pace.

Rivalz was the first one who got into the council office, followed by Nina. The Chairman looked like she had an examination that day so she was out. The automatic door opened, and the shorter guy was surprised; Lelouch was quite early that morning. As a greeting, he squeezed the guy's cheeks. Nina greeted him, followed by Rivalz "You're giving me the creeps. You're quite early today, Lelouch." In the mood that he had to be in, Lelouch let Rivalz squeeze his cheeks. The cheeks on his face, mind you "Cut it out. What's wrong with being early just this once? Besides, since The Chairman is out, I'm the one in charge of the office, aren't I?" Lelouch grinned, not comforting Rivalz at all. And no one would really think you could freak Rivalz "Sounds creepier to me." Soon, she, Lola, was at the door and just swung it open, causing a breeze in the room "OHAYOU GOZAIMASU, MINNA!!"

An extra-loud, extra-happy greeting. Something about friends just made her want to shout a bit "Hey, is Onee-sama here? You know how she loves crazy celebrations of things, cute costumes, and I have a suggestion to make. She'll love it!" Lelouch heard that cheerful voice, and he immediately diverted, not letting his face be seen as Rivalz was the one who answered Lola's query. "Kaichou is out this morning. She should be here after lunch, probably, ne Lelouch?" The asked guy didn't answer but Nina nodded to agree. Lola closed the door behind her with a cheerful smile and dropped her bag right in front of it. All the while, she hadn't really looked at anyone directly, just looking at everyone. The one Rivalz had asked didn't respond to her and she seemed to not be paying attention to the rest of them right now "Aww, I wanted Onee-sama to hear me sing.." Her smile had faded but perked right back up in a matter of seconds "You're all in here awfully early, what are you planning?" This time, she was looking directly at Rivalz. Rivalz put his finger on his chin to think, and he nudged the man beside him.

"Oi, what are we planning to do anyway? You're in charge here, like you said minutes ago." He was still speechless so Rivalz felt a little vein twitching. "Oi, Lelouch! Say something!" "...?" Lola averted her gaze to Lelouch and smiled as kindly as she could and spoke "Hey, you. Lelouch. Come on now, say something. You're the one in charge 'til my Onee-sama comes back, right? So take charge." She lightly tugged on the sleeve of his uniform, though she had not a single clue who he was "Oi..." Rivalz blinked with wonder. "Hey. Don't tell us you're sleeping right now. Oi, Lelouch." At this point, Lelouch's mind was off in it's own place. Thinking 'Actually, I don't know how to behave. Not around her. I've done this again, and like Shirley, she doesn't remember who I am. What excuse can I use?' After he had heard Lola saying his name, he suddenly got shivers and looked down at the girl. His eyes were trembling with disbelief, 'Isn't she..…?' What's this? It would seem our Hero is doubting the strength of his powers. Of course, if everyone knew of what had gone down, it would be a bit of a surprise hearing Lola say his name. A name that is, once again, new to her. "Rivalz, is this guy always like this?" It may sound as if she were joking, like she was being sarcastic because she already knew what was wrong...or she really didn't know how Lelouch would be acting right now. Her vague way of speaking does make it hard to read. Before she backed away from him, Lola eyed him curiously, hands on her hips then her gaze was averted "Fine, if you don't wanna say anything, I won't push it." The blue-haired one spoke up again

"How about this," and Rivalz went closer to the school phone. "Let's order for a while. I'm already hunger." Before he could dial a series of numbers, a hand had ceased him from doing it. The vice-chairman, Lelouch, had his usual bored face on and with his closed eyes, he said, "The chairman had told me what should do." Finally, he's up and working. He picked a few filed papers up, and like the Chairman's usual move, he folded it and have Rivalz the first hit. "Rivalz and Kallen will update the financial we need for the next festival. Suzaku and Lola will file the papers needed for the waiver we have to distribute for the students.

Shirley and Nina will go online and check the food orders Chairman had last night. That's all." Rivalz eyed the guy. "And what would the vice-chairman do, I wonder?" Nothing. Isn't it obvious? Lola clapped her hands once and spoke to Suzaku…assuming he was in the room "That's more like it! Ne, Suzaku, let's do this right." She flashed a toothy grin and leaned up against a nearby wall "Now was that so hard? What are you doing by the way?" Lola tilted her head to the side a bit. Lelouch sat on his table and read his favorite little book. Whatever that may be "As usual, he'll go relax while we do the hard work." Rivalz sighed and glanced at Suzaku and Shirely who just got into the room. And so the hard work began for everyone- except for him. Lola stared as Suzaku entered, a bit embarrassed. He wasn't in here already?

She just expected him to be here already so she didn't bother looking for him. Of all times to embarass herself, why in front of the cute new guy "C'mon, Suzaku.." Lola pushed herself off the wall and over in Suzaku's direction, draping one of her arms over his shoulders, trying to shake the strange feeling "We've go a job to do~!" Suzaku was quite surprised- he just got in and he's already set in a work? He sighed and followed Lola while Shirley heard what she got to do from Rivalz, her eyes never diverting from the relaxing guy not so far from where she was standing.

Though running, Kallen entered the office shortly after. At that moment on, Lelouch felt that everyone's eyes were aimed at him, wondering why he was so at ease with the council works Milly had left for them. Maybe he just had a knack for controlling people. Lola turned to look at Suzaku, almost in an apologetic way. So early and already he had stuff to do "We're filing papers for the waiver we're distributing for the other students." She pet Suzaku on the head, standing on her tippy-toes a bit to reach "C'mon, my friend, get to work.." She said this as if she weren't going to be doing anything and would just be watching him. This was not too far from the truth. Suzaku let a sweat drop slide on the side of his face as he looked down to Lola, "M-My, you sound scarier than the past days."

The short secretary entered into the discussion. "Don't you know, Suzaku? Lola here is the Chairman's 'sister' so you better watch out." The young knight was awed while the other girls were already into the action. Lelouch was still busy with his reading, until the office phone rang and he was the one who answered. After the call, he immediately left. "Ha! I'm her sister and proud of it!" Lola grinned, punching a first in the air. Her attention was drawn away from the matter when she heard footsteps. That boy was gone after answering that phone "...Huh. Where's he going?", "Probably to the washroom?" Rivalz wasn't sure. Suzaku looked at the shorter guy before proceeding to the vacant table to start his duty. "Maybe, Rivalz." She didn't press on any further on that. No real interest except for why immediately after a phone call?

Minutes later, Lelouch was back to the office, carrying a box on his arms. Annoyance was already evident on his face as he open the box and reveal a Lolita costume. Milly's voice speaking rang clearly in his memory 'Lulu-chan, wear this as my penalty for you skipping council works for days. When I ome back, I want to see you wearing it. Okay?' He sighed. 'After being a hero for Elevens, here I am, a princess for the chairman. Sigh…' Lola turned to Lelouch, a hand reaching out for the box. She was curious and would much rather see instead of ask Lelouch herself "Let me see what's in it, okay?" He nodded at Lola as he slid the note Milly wrote into his chest pocket. She took the box from his hands, opened it with her left hand and held up the outfit for herself and anyone to see. A Lolita outfit? Seems like something Milly or herself, or Rivalz might come up with.. "Aww~ It's so cute, I wanna wear it---" She stopped, blushing lightly and looked back over at Lelouch "But what're you doing with this..?" A quick response "Part-time job for a day." Was the only answer he could give before he snatched the dress out of her grasp and immediately went out again.

Rivalz couldn't help that he burst his laughter at Lelouch's action. "Part-time? He actually used 'part-time' instead of 'punishment'!!" Kallen, was frowning ever-so slightly at Rivalz "What was so funny about it? If you were the one who had to wear it, I bet you'd never laugh like that." Nina nodded, agreeing. Shirley, the loveable space-case, didn't hear a word of it. She pretty much missed everything. Poor girl. It was fun. "Mmm..." Lola pouted and followed right after Lelouch. That was just messed up how he had to wear that, not only that, she'd want to wear it herself when he was done "Hey, you! Lelouch…you're going to be wearing…that for a one-day job?" He answered without looking back at her, "Yeah. Why? I can give this to you once I'm done with it." A small laugh escaped her "Heh, well.."

She came up behind him, now a little closer "If that's for some job, you should let a girl do it for you, you know? I'd do it for you 'cause I'm nice...and I hardly know you. Also, it's just a little funny imagining you in something so cute~" He stopped walking, and although it wasn't seen, his eyes held a deep vague flickering. He closed them, and faced her. "If you're going to wear this, just tell the Chairman that so she won't scold me when she sees me not wearing it. After all, you're nice, right?" Lola nodded, wearing a bright, kind smile "Mmm-hmm, no worries! I"ll let Onee-sama know. She'll understand if I'm involved. And, of course I'm nice, Lelouch." She giggled lightly. He held a lukewarm smile on his lips. A happiness in hearing her say his name, but sadness in knowing she didn't know the person who owned that name anymore? 'You say my name, like you know who I am…' He handed her the dress, "Here".

She held the dress in her hands, looking it over. First thing she thought of? She had the pretty dress! Second…would it fit? "Yay~! Thank you. Say, since it's a dress and it was more than likely made to fit you, do you think it'll be too big on me? Y'know, since you're taller. Or will it be tighter up top because I have boobs?" Her gaze switched from the dress to Lelouch. She stared at him for quite a while, just blankly, before smiling "Nevermind. I don't even really care about that. Again, thank you." Funny. When Lola would say things like that, she expected people to freak out. But he didn't. Why? For a while, Lelouch found himself staring also. There were things that kept floating inside his confused mind, and he was about to raise his arm to pat her on the head as he'd done before, only that he restrained himself from doing it. Instead, he faced the opposite direction and continued walking. Away from her for a moment…--Did he want to be the main cause of that smile? Her smile just always seemed to be there before, right?

She watched him for a bit as he walked off before skipping away herself, probably to go change into the dress. Before she got to the girls' restroom to change she was wondering about something about Lelouch. He had nothing to do with the office so he just went to their classroom and became one of the early birds. He sat in his seat and rested his chin over his folded arm as usual but his mind was still drifted far away from reality. Atleast this reality. His Geass of absolute command was devastating. Knowing that, he still used it on his friends. Twice already.

Was he trying to keep them away from his drastic life of having dual identities, since both Shirley and Lola knew his Zero persona?Or was he trying to break free from the bonds that were attached to him and forget any special feelings he had for them?What... am I doing...?

She'd gotten into the dress easily, but she was right about one thing. It was tight around that area. Not uncomfortable, but just noticeable by who was wearing it. That, and it was a bit longer on her than it may have been on Lelouch. Milly wanted to make him wear this.. 'A mad genius, she's a mad genius...' Lola decided she'd go around like this all day, saying it was part of a special club activity or something to that effect. Couldn't have Milly herself or Nina do it because one size was too big for the dress and the other, too small. After putting her uniform away in her bag, she went to the classroom to drop her bag off and probably roam some more after. To her surprise, Lelouch was already there. Since he was, she decided to stay.

For some reason, Lelouch's left eye suddenly hurt and his left arm immediately flew to cover his eye. He didn't want to be noticed, that he just slumped his head down to his folded arms. It was all of the sudden. He might be overdoing his Geass too much... As she set down her bag, it seemed Lola hadn't noticed. Or was just pretending she didn't. She noticed his sudden movement, but said nothing...which raised and interesting question: Why was she paying him attention anyway? He endured the pain during class hours, pretending that he was asleep or something with his face covered with his left hand. Lola would be, needless to be said, very worried if she knew about this. It'd subside sometimes, and when the bell rang as the signal of the ending of the third period, he again thought of going out. Away from anyone....

The third bell. Great. Lola quickly slipped out of the classroom, hopefully unnoticed. She had a nice excuse for the dress she was wearing but wasn't in the mood for using it. To where was she going now? Anywhere, really. Classes shouldn't be so long, in her opinion, it fries one's brain a little more each day 'I'm sort of hungry..'


Phoenix: There you have it! First season is over. Yeah...I'm ending it that way. Got a problem....or not? Review!! I better get 3 more or there will be no more.

Lola: You're really pushin' it, y'know. It's almost christmas

Phoenix: If you behave, I'll toss in a special christmas chappie. Would you like that, girl?

Lola: ~Bark, bark~ Yes, yes!

Lelouch: Lola..

Lola:.....Who're you again?
