Winner is undoubtfully, the debate betweeen will and pride!!!!!!!
enjoy nd expect an epdate of the story on sat!!!!
Amaya released a sigh of boredom in English, crossing her arms as the seemingly always smiling teacher wrung her hands in excitement.
"Okay class," she beamed, her eyes sparkling as she began, while Amaya saw Lelouch beside her stifle a yawn. "Today, we shall have another friendly discussion!"
Amaya rolled her eyes at this. Usually, she would enjoy a good discussion. However, when last weeks 'friendly discussion', had turned to a class conversation into whether it were better to be a cat or dog person, she had given up on hope for what she really wanted;
A good argument.
"Todays topic;" the teacher continued, smiling as she stood before the class, "Which is the strongest part of a person?"
Amaya glanced up with surprise; she was intrigued. She thought for a moment as she saw Lelouch raise an eyebrow of interst as well, while Nina called out the Femur bone.
"Well," Lelouch smiled, the class's attention turning to them as Lelouch turned to glance at her. "there's no question, is there?" Amaya smiled, nodding as she thought she and Lelouch would have the same answer, as they finished the sentance together.
"Will."
"Pride."
Amaya felt more then heard the silence fall, as it became clear, that Lelouch and Amaya had reached...a disagreement. Lelouch raied his eyebrows at her as she did the same, each waiting for the other to correct themselves.
None did.
Lelouch stared at Amaya in mid shock, as the silence fell.
"...Are you serious?" Lelouch finally managed to break the frozen moment, as he saw Amaya narrow her eyes.
"Are you?" she retorted, turning to face him fully as the teacher let out a nervous laugh,
"Well, it looks like we have two people ready to debate-"
"That's ridiculous!" Lelouch ignored the teacher as he exclaimed, "The will is the strongest part of a person!" Amaya let out, what seemed to be a gasp of amusement as she snapped,
"No, it's pride!" Lelouch clenched his jaw as he attempted to explain,
"Amaya, it is the will of a person which defines the decisions they make, the amount of will a person has shows how far they will get in the world!" He noted with a twinge of dread that Amaya frowned in anger, before slowly contradicting,
"And it is the pride which will depends on!" Lelouch released a mocking chuckle as Amaya's eyes narrowed, while he shrugged,
"It is the other way around, Amaya. Pride depends on the will of a person. The strength of the will creates a pride in themselves-"
"No! It is the pride in one's nation, one's heritage, one's self that creates a strong will!" Amaya interrupted, Lelouch clenching his jaw at her stubborness as he snapped in return,
"How can you achieve pride without the will to?! Say, what if one is not proud of their family, or their nation?!" he asked, Amaya narrowing her eyes as slowly, unconsciously, both started to rise, hands clenched on the table as a steady glare began.
"I would say, that that person should have thr pride in themselves to admit they do not follow one's family, or nation if they disagree with ether!" Lelouch let out a chuckle as he concluded with a smirk,
"That is ridiculous, you are completely ignoring the fact that ultimately, it is will, that sets out a person, by the decisions they make-"
"I was getting to that, if you'll let me." Amaya narrowed her eyes futher as nether noticed the class staring in fear, nearly seeing sparks fly between the two as the teacher began quickly,
"Ms. Warrington, Mr. Lamperouge, this is a friendly discussion-"
"No it isn't!" Lelouch declared lowly, "This is a debate!"
"No it isn't!" Amaya argued, causing Lelouch's eyes to narrow, "This is an argument!" Lelouch rolled his eyes as he stated darkly,
"Amaya, this is a debate-"
"Debates are arguing, Lelouch, face it!" Lelouch clenched his fists tighter as he attempted to say lowly, calmly,
"No, it isn't." He saw Amaya smirk as she began quietly.
"Oh yes it is."
"No it isn't."
"Yes it is."
"No it isn't!"
"Yes, it is."
"NO, it isn't!"
"Yes, it is!" Lelouch nearly felt a twitch as he saw Amaya was completely enjoying this.
"Typical!" he snapped, his eyes burning as he announced, "You always just do this, JUST to get on my nerves!" Amaya let out another laugh as she called,
"Oh look, someone's veering off topic!" Lelouch mentally cursed as he snapped,
"Very well, Amaya, then would you please get on the topic!?" Amaya narrowed her eyes again as she leaned toward Lelouch,
"Okay then." Rivalz chose that moment to lean forward, eyes widened in alarm as he meeky began,
"Guys-"
"Stay out of this Rivalz!" was the snap from both Lelouch and Amaya, causing Rivalz to quickly slink back into his seat, almost gratefully.
"What is stronger that what is the essentiallity to choose to do the right thing, no matter what might be the repurcussions!" Lelouch demanded, Amaya placing her hands on her hips as she answered,
"How about something that causes you to be able to walk proudly, unashamed of who you are, even if everything is against you!"Amaya shook her head before adding, "If you speak of one thing, you speak of the other! Will is Pride and Pride is Will, in everything but name!"
A silence fell again as Lelouch gave a slow nod.
"In theory...Both give you the ability to push through anything, and inspire you to create your own path..." Amaya nodded slowly in agreement, before stting quietly,
"Yes...Even if that path seems unreachable, it is pride and will that push you through it all, to get down that path..."
A thoughtfull silence fell, before the teacher, squeaked,
"Have...Have we come to an agreement? Has it stopped?" Lelouch released a small chuckle as he and Amaya nodded, shaking hands as the class cheered.
"I missed this." Amaya grinned as they took their seats again, Lelouch nodding in agreement as heplaced ghis elbows on the table in thought.
"Yes, we always used to fight, didn't we?" Amaya nodded as she explained,
"Well, they were all your fault." Lelouch blinked as he repeated in disbelief,
"My fault?" Amaya gave a sympathetic nod, as Lelouch, in a moment of madness, snapped,
"Like when we had that argument about keeping worthless traditions, and I completely thrashed you!"
Silence fell again as Amaya's eyes narrowed once more...
'Oh no...'
Alrighty, choices for next week are...
1: Amaya thinks on her mask, and wonders...Why does she wear it? What forces her to keep the mask on, when she knows she can easily reveal herself to the world...?
2: Amaya remembers when she first met Kaguya after the occupation...
3: Amaya remembers a time she spent with her father, and wonders whart 'family' really means...She wonders if a person can truly have one face, or many...
choice is all yours, folks...
