Did you guys know that in Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, Rolo is Lelouch's twin brother and looks exactly like him? And Mao is a girl?! I might read that sometime.

Lelouch wondered why this girl seemed so hostile towards his sister. Nunnally faced her with a nervous look. Cornelia cut through the tension easily.
"Carline, you remember Nunnally. She's returned with Lelouch and Rolo", Cornelia said.
The girl's glare softened and her face turned arrogant. "Hmph, as if I have time to deal with her. I only came to see what all the commotion was about."
"But isn't it great to have them back?", Euphemia said hopefully.
"Why would I care about that? She wasn't important to me."
"Now now, let's not be rude", Schneizel said. "Royal status aside, Nunnally is your sister. Tonight is a night of celebration."
Carline "hmphed" again before going off somewhere else. Nunnally stood there with a discouraged look on her face. Lelouch put an arm on her shoulder.
"It's alright Nunnally. There are so many people here, I'm sure you'll hardly ever see her."
"It's not that. I'm worried because I can't remember what I did to her. I'm afraid I did something cruel", Nunnally confessed.
"That's impossible", Suzaku said. "You have nothing but kindness in you Nunnally. There's no way you could do something like that."
Nunnally's face brightened at Suzaku's words and soon she was smiling again. That was when the Emperor called for everyone's attention.
"Tonight we celebrate the return of our beloved Lelouch, Rolo, and Nunnally. With their return I fully reinstate their ranks in the Britannian Imperial Family. Prince Lelouch vi Britannia, 11th Prince. Prince Rolo vi Britannia, 13th Prince. And Princess Nunnally vi Britannia, 11th Princess."
The guest cheered but Lelouch could feel it was forced. Who would be happy about them returning? All that meant was three new competetors for the throne. The party ended and Lelouch was shown to his room.
He thought he should look for C.C., but he believed she could take care of herself.

"Now then C.C., why don't you tell your beloved Mao who's that man you've been with."
"I told you before, he's my business. I no longer have a contract with you",C.C. said now tied to a wall.
"Wrong answer~ I guess we'll have to play more games to loosen you up."
Mao tied a cloth around his eyes and picked up a few knives.

"You wanted to see me Father?"
"Yes Schneizel. You were the one that told me Lelouch was coming."
"It was what I had overheard from Cornelia and Euphemia, yes."
"I have a job for you."
"It involves C.C., doesn't it?", Schneizel smirked.

"Brother! Brother, wake up!"
Lelouch awoke to his sister bouncing on his bed holding something fluffy. He looked around and Rolo was with her rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Euphemia pulled Suzaku into the room with a look of glee on her face.
"What's so important that you had to wake me at this ungodly hour?"
"This!", Nunnally shoved something furry in his arms.
"What the?" His eyes focused and Lelouch saw that Nunnally handed him a teddy bear. It had a pin on its chest.
"Th-this is!"
"Yeah, it's the bear from the picture! It's mine!", Nunnally exclaimed.
"What's this pin?", Lelouch asked.
"Euphie told it's something that knights wear."
"Marianne put the pin on Nunnally's teddy bear after Lelouch finished it", Euphemia said.
"Well who's was it-Did you just say when I finished it?", Lelouch questioned.
"Yeah, you made the bear when you were 9", she answered.
"I did?!"
"Well well Lelouch. Didn't you say that needlework wasn't very masculine? And your here sewing teddy bears behind our backs", Suzaku teased.
"I-"
"Here ya go Nunnally."
"A teddy bear? For me?"
"Yeah, whenever I'm gone or busy you'll have him. And here", Lelouch put a pin on the bear's chest.
"A knight?"
"From Mother's knight. This bear will watch over you."
"Thank you Brother! I'll name him Lulu!"
"Brother?"
"Huh? What?"
"You were staring into space", Nunnally said.
"Sorry. So I made this bear huh? Just another thing for that annoying witch to tease me about. Speaking of witch, where's C.C.?"
"I haven't seen her in a while. I'm worried", Suzaku said.
"Let's split up and look for her", Euphemia suggested.
"Good idea. Suzaku, you go with Euphie. Nunnally and Rolo will be with me."
"Alright, but shouldn't we get dressed first?", Suzaku asked.
Everyone noticed they were still in their bed clothes. "Alright, get dressed and then meet back here", Lelouch said.
As they left Lelouch called Suzaku.
"What is it Lelouch?"
"Don't do anything weird with Euphie", he teased.
"W-what are you thinking?! You know I wouldn't!"
"I know, I know."

Up next: Mao plays another game with C.C., will Lelouch find her? Who was Mariann's knight? Will Suzaku or Euphie confess their feelings for each other?
