"I've got it!" Milly shouted excitedly after sitting at her desk and scribbling out plans for hours. She stood up and did a little victory dance and sat back down. Too giddy to sleep for the two hours she had left. Se scribbled down her scheme and jumped into her bed giggling until her tiredness and fatigue overwhelmed her and she fell asleep.
Lelouch had to admit to himself that the next morning when he woke up he was completely dreading school. 'Who knows what kind of scheme Milly's come up with?' He slowly pulled on his uniform and practically dragged his feet down the stairs
"Big brother, why do you look so stressed?" asked Rolo as Lelouch took a seat across from him and Nunnaly.
"Oh, it's nothing," he replied waving his hand dismissively. 'I wish it really was nothing,' he thought with a sigh.
"Good morning Master Lelouch," said Sayoko as she placed his breakfast in front of him. Today it was pancakes.
"Good morning Sayoko," he replied as he picked up his fork and knife and cut into one of the pancakes.
"Good morning everyone," Nunnaly chimed in happily.
"Good morning Nunnaly," said Lelouch with a smile on his face that he preserved for Nunnaly and Nunnaly only. He preserved a scowl and an occasional smirk for Rolo.
After finishing off breakfast, cleaning the dishes and the house, seeing Nunnaly off to school, and anything else that would further delay his having to go to school, Lelouch reluctantly left for school. 'Oh god, what did I do?!' he scolded himself, 'I should have just went along with Milly's stupid idea.' His head hung in remorse as he entered his fifth class of the day. 'Crap, not late enough,' he thought as he started towards his seat.
"Mister Lamperouge," said the teacher as he entered the classroom, "Miss Milly has asked for all of the student council members to come to a meeting for the rest of the day.
"Yes sir, thank you," Lelouch replied as he turned and left the room. 'Oh no!' he thought as he headed for his dreaded destination, the student council room dun-dun-DUN!
"Why hello Lelouch," greeted Milly in a mischievous tone when said boy entered the room. "Alright, now that everyone is here, I'll be telling you all about my newest idea!" she said enthusiastically.
Everyone groaned and mumbled except Rivalz who stood up punched his fist in the air and said, "Wahoo!" and clapped.
"Shut up Rivalz," said Kallen throwing a paper ball at him and hitting him square in the forehead.
"At least someone has some enthusiasm," said Milly before continuing. "Anyway, we're gonna have Lelouch and Suzaku hide, and the person that finds one of them gets to go on a date with the one they found to wherever they want, and I'll be paying."
"I think that's a horrible idea," said Lelouch obviously having learned nothing of his previous mistakes of disagreeing with Milly's events, and there had been a lot of times when he suffered for those mistakes.
"I think it's great," said Shirley. 'I'll finally have a chance to snatch Lulu up for myself,' she thought with enthusiasm.
"Suck up," said Kallen accusingly and she glared at Shirley who shrugged.
"Suzaku,what do you think?" asked Milly, noticing how quiet he'd been.
"….." Suzaku didn't know what to say, he didn't want to anger Milly any more than he already had, but he had nothing good to say about this one, and he didn't want to lie, so he'd stayed quiet.
"Suzaku you haven't said a thing this whole meeting. I demand to know what you think!" Milly repeated in a sharper tone with her hands on her hips.
With a sigh and a gulp Suzaku answered, "I-I think it's a great idea." he sent Lelouch an apologetic glance which was returned by a glare.
"I completely agree with you Suzaku!" shouted Euphy as she, for the fifth time that meeting, threw herself around him. He shrugged her off and stepped closer to Kallen passing her a note that he had scribbled down the night before.'Jez, she's staring to act like Gino now
'Why did you sell me out?' it said. Kallen picked up her pen and wrote down her reply before handing it back.
It read:'I said that I forgive you, but i never said that i wouldn't get revenge.'
Kallen sent him a small smile before turning her attention back to Milly, but it was too late. Milly had already noticed that she had lost the attention of two of her members.
"What are you doing my little love birds? Is that a note I see, are you writing love letters again?" Milly asked teasingly as she reached for the piece of paper Kallen was holding. Kallen snatched it away from her presidents grasping hands before she could get it. Everyone's attention was turned to them as Milly mad another fruitless attempt to grab the piece of paper. Kallen stood up and bolted out the door.
"It wasn't event that serious," Suzaku mumbled as he took Kallen's now vacant seat.
Milly shrugged, "Anyway, the event will take place in two days, but right now we're gonna play hide-and-seek to find the best hiding spot on campus. Suzaku and Lelouch will hide and the rest of us will be the seekers."
"That's not very fair Milly," said Suzaku, "We all know that Lelouch has a very small tolerance for physical activities. It doesn't matter how much time you give us 'cause by the time you guys are done counting Lelouch will be at some tree trying to catch his breath."
Rivalz snickered which caused Lelouch to glare at him. He immediately shut up.
"Hmm... Maybe you're right Suzaku. In that case I'll just auction you guys off! Is that better?" asked Milly with an innocent smile.
"N-no! Milly that's not what I meant at all!" said Suzaku panicking.
"Ohh... too late, I don't care anymore. That is what we'll do," Milly said making her way to the door. "Meeting adjourned. Don't forget to come after school tomorrow." she waved pleasantly and disappeared out the door.
Soon after Milly had left the other student council members filed out, leaving Lelouch and Suzaku in the room alone while they gathered their things.
"You know what? I think you should just shut up sometimes, Suzaku," said Lelouch as he grabbed his things and left the room. In his mind Lelouch silently thanked Suzaku for saving him from a death of physical exertion.
Kallen had decided to rip up the note and head back to the meeting, but when she got there the room was empty.
"What the crap!!!" she shouted to the vacant room before storming off to her dorm.
'Now that I think about it, the note wasn't really even that important,' she thought as she opened the door to her dorm.
"Sometimes I'm just really dumb," she mumbled to herself as she threw herself into her bed and took a nap.
Meanwhile Euphy had been gathering a huge sum of money to buy Suzaku with. She now had 20,000 yen, and sh ekept getting more. All she had to do was ask her father. he spoiled her, and therefore she had the strong belief that her bid would get her a date with Suzaku.
"I'll definitely win get him!" she squeled with excitement as she opened the door to her hidden closet. And inside that closet was a shrine to Suzaku. Euphy hummed happily as she added another picture of him to the amazingly huge collection of things that he had either used or touched. She had pieces of gum that he had chewed, locks of hair fro a brush that she had obtained (stolen), and hundred of pictures of him that she had had her fan club take. She had an uncountable amount of things stuffed into the once neat walk-in closet. Euphy picked up one of the pictures of her beloved (victim of one- sided love) and kissed it.
"You shall be mine Suzaku Kururugi," she said as she carefully placed the picture down, and giddily skipped out of the hidden closet closing it quietly behind her and leaving her room.
"One more picture wouldn't hurt," she said as she tip toed out the door and headed for the boys' dorm.
Suzaku had been trying to sleep, it was too late to find a decent television show, but he suddenly felt like there was someone else in the room. He'd listened for a minute and heard nothing, but the suspicion was still there. So to get rid of his paranoia, Suzaku quietly stood and flicked on the light. He jumped when he spotted Euphy perched on his window sill with her camera pointed at him.
"Euphy?!!!" he shouted the camera flashed in his eyes, temporarily blinding him while she jumped out of the first story window and took off running.
"Thanks Suzaku!!" Euphy shouted to him after she was a good fifty feet away. "Oh shoot, I wanted a picture of him sleeping, but i guess angry is even better. At least I got something extra for my troubles." She held up an article of clothing and hugged it.
Suzaku rubbed his eyes and opened them to an empty room.
"What the heck was that!?" he shouted to no one inparticular as he made a mental note to start locking that window before he left, or went to sleep. Then he noticed that something was missing. 'Hey wait, where's my shirt!'
"Jeeze, I'm tired of being harassed by that psychotic pink haired stalker," he grumbled as he pulled the covers over his body and drifted off to sleep. He didnt want to be bidded off to her, but he knew she had the money. Suzaku's sleep was anything,but peaceful. He had the worst nightmare possible.
