Chapter 28: Flashback
Lelouch packed his things with C.C., who didn't really have much.
"Why won't Ohgi pick up his phone?" yelled Lelouch, thinking aloud.
"Maybe he's busy," suggested C.C., sitting on the bed.
"What I don't get is why he just hung up like that! That's not like him. He normally waits for orders."
Then, his phone started to ring again. The caller ID said that it was Ohgi. "Ohgi, why did you hang up on me earlier?" asked Lelouch, answering the phone.
"I'm sorry, but things got hung up," he answered.
"Never mind, just don't let it happen again. What's your status?"
"We're on our way to the harbor right now. Shouldn't be but a few more hours."
"Alright, well, I'll meet you there, then."
"Did you get a new mask?"
"Yes, in fact I did."
C.C. looked up at him in surprise, wondering how he got the new mask so soon.
"Good, because everyone else is already here. We just need to pick you up."
"Alright, well, it's a good thing that I planned ahead, then." Lelouch hung up.
"How did you get it so quickly?" asked C.C. as Lelouch packed his bag for the trip to Kanime Island, and then, back to HQ, where C.C. might either lighten up on her jokes or make them even worse. He was just hoping not to have a replay of last Christmas…..
FLASHBACK:
"Lelouch, are you ready?" asked C.C., walking over to Lelouch one night before Christmas with a typical box of Pizza.
"Ready for what?" he asked her, sipping his soda silently in the corner of the room.
"The Christmas party tonight. You promised Tamaki that you'd let everyone dress like Elves, and Ohgi said that he would do it if he could be the Santa."
"What? I can't dress like an elf! Everyone will know!"
"I covered for you. All you have to do is wear this Santa hat," she said, holding out a Santa hat for him to put on top of his helmet.
"(Sigh) Fine, I'll do it."
Lelouch put the Santa hat on top of his head, and went out to the party in his Zero costume. Everyone, including Kallen and C.C., were dressed up in elf costumes, and Tamaki couldn't take his eyes off of nay of the girls with their skirts and tights(and he wasn't even drunk yet).
Then, as things just started to get warmed up, there was a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" asked Ohgi in his Santa getup.
"Well, why don't we finds out," said Kallen, opening the door.
"Hey," said Suzaku, walking in the room.
"Uh, he, Suzaku. What the Heck are you doing here?"
"I'm here to join the party! Where's the rest of the student council?"
"The Student Council?"
"Suzaku Kururugi?" said Lelouch.
"What, is this a Black Knight party? Well, we might as well come in, anyways. Hey, Lloyd, Cecile, can you bring everyone in?"
"What?" said Kallen.
"Well, this looks like a fun party, for the Black Knights anyways. We just have to make sure that Cornelia doesn't find out about this," said Lloyd, walking into the party.
C.C. had a small smile on her face as she took another bite of her pizza from one hand, and a pair of scissors in another. Lelouch knew that she was the one responsible for this, and was getting angered by it.
"Suzaku, did C.C. put you up to this?" asked Lelouch, walking up to Suzaku and whispering to him.
"Maybe," he said, sipping a soda.
"Well, you should know not to ever listen to C.C."
"Hey, I'm not as smart as you are."
"Yes, but you're also smart enough to know not to listen to C.C.!"
"Am I, or are you just saying that?"
"You know that you're insulting yourself, right?"
"So? it's just around you, and it's not like anyone's ever gonna find out."
Then, he walked away from him, pretty mad, but things just kept on getting worse. Ever since he had left Suzaku, people had been laughing at him from behind. He'd turn around and they'd stop. It wasn't until that night after the party that he found out why, taking off his cape to find that it was so loose behind him that he didn't even feel C.C. or whoever cut a giant snowflake out of his cape with writing that said 'why follow me and the Black Knights when I'm nothing but a dainty snowflake?'
PRESENT….
They were all ready on the dock as the Submarine began to pull in. C.C., Kallen, and Lelouch were all ready.
Ohgi came out of the sub to greet them.
"Hey, Zero," said Ohgi, walking out to them.
"Hey, Ohgi!" said Kallen, excited to see him while Lelouch just walked up with a handshake and a simple hello. C.C. just remained silent like a mouse in the dead of night.
To be continued…
*I hope you liked it, but I'm sorry to say that the series will end soon X( I will make more fics, though! I'm not sure yet how many more chapters there will be, but I'm gonna finish this before I start on another (and I have several more ideas!)*
*Also, I have a question for all fans. Most of you have said that you don't like a KallenxxSuzaku pairing, so please, tell me, who do you think should be with Kallen (other than Lelouch)?*
