Author's Note: Hey! Since it's been about a year or two since I've submitted something useful to , I decided to make an On A Roll series. It's made up of all the oneshots, crackshots, or anything else I've made this week for (Which is really little). Hope you enjoy! This is the fifth of the On A Roll series.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these wonderful characters. They all belong to their respective owners whom I highly respect. I'm broke, so I obviously don't earn any profit from this.
Hey, everyone! I just want to ask this from you. How many chapters do you think Lelouch of the Condo 11 should have? Around 20 (20-29), 30 (30-39), 40 (40-49), and so on and so forth. Tell me if you have an idea, please. I want to know. Enjoy this chapter! :)
Lelouch of the Condo 11
Chapter Nineteen: Pulchritude, Conflagrations and Humongous Things
Lulu's attention was caught by a loud noise. Namely, people yelling and cheering.
That was quite normal to Lulu. He had a different definition of normal now, after living in Condo 11 for a while, but the voices weren't of just Gino, Kallen and the usual people. They still seemed familiar, though.
While giving his chair a push backwards, Lulu tried to see who the new people were. If they were as strange as the other residents, then, they had arrived at the right place.
Straining his ears in trying to listen in on the conversation while reading was proven difficult. Lulu wasn't actually reading, but there were too many high pitched squeals that blocked the voices of those talking.
"NII-SAMA!"
Nunna arrived (quite quickly for a little girl on crutches) and flung herself onto Lulu's neck. Her brother was surprised and patted her back gently.
"Nunnally, what are you doing here?"
Nunna grinned at her brother and giggled excitedly. She replied, "Sisters Euphie and Cornelia are here, too! Even Guilford arrived. Isn't that great?"
Lulu's eye twitched. "Why are they here?"
Nunna looked appalled. "Didn't daddy tell you they were coming?"
Lulu glared at the wall. His father only squeezed that reminder in between hyperactive yells, he recalled.
Lulu shook his head.
Nunna grinned. "Oh well, the good part is that they're here! Come, let's all say hi to them!"
And Lulu was painfully dragged by a little girl half his size wearing crutches.
Lulu's meeting with his sisters and sister's oldest and only confidant wasn't something he looked forward to. Euphie was energetic and kind, as usual, holding onto Suzaku's hand with a death grip. Suzaku hadn't seemed to notice. Lulu had always wondered how his best friend had managed to withstand his half-sister's squeals and skips. Then again, Suzaku had joined in with the skipping...
Cornelia was her usual proud and confidant self, while Guilford was silent and observant as usual. Cornelia somehow seemed nicer, though. Or maybe that was just because Nunna and Euphie were there.
Gino had dubbed Guilford his "Best Brittannian Guard Buddy" and released the bubbly wrath of his flowery aura. Guilford had been clearly suffering.
Anya also took pictures.
"Why are you here again, sister?" Lulu asked Cornelia with a smirk. Cornelia stared down at him. Guilford glared.
"We have some business here in Japan. Charles said that Guilford and I could stay here in the meantime,"
Lulu narrowed his brows. Daily meetings with his other half-sister and her guard? That was something to be avoided as much as possible.
"Well, enjoy your stay." Lulu waved off, his nonchalant face hiding his irritation. He didn't do much of a good job, though. He still gave off a dark aura that even Gino had noticed.
Gino had pulled onto Anya's sleeve. The girl raised her brow in question while capturing Lulu and his angry aura with her camera-phone.
"What's best buddy Lelouch so angry about?"
Anya shrugged. She smiled and then continued taking pictures with Gino at her side.
"We'll try our best," Cornelia said, walking off to Jeremiah Gottwald's front desk.
Lulu glared at her as she left with Guilford. CC walked towards him and smirked.
"Not a family-man, are you, Lelouch?"
Lulu glared daggers at the green-haired witch while she continued snickering at him, pizza box in hand.
Lulu found it quite depressing that Cornelia and Guilford were both staying in the same floor as him. They weren't as close, but the same floor was close enough.
"How can she just get back into Nunnally's and my lives again?" Lulu asked himself angrily, kicking the foot of the bed and hurting himself terribly. CC stared at him with a blank face, a good difference from her usual smirk. She could somehow read Lulu's mind.
She was a witch, after all.
"She probably wants a new start with you, Lelouch. If she doesn't, your father does. He may be a tyrant in your eyes but he has a different side in other people's eyes. He may not have been a good father but at least he's sorry for his mistakes. At least he's not a crazy immortal who wanted the power of the gods, wanted to kill his own son and went mad. At least your mother wasn't a woman who faked her own death and was responsible for your sister's crippled state." She finished.
Lulu stared at her. He nodded after a while. "Yeah," he concluded, but suddenly turned to face her "But that's not supposed to happen until R2! You just gave spoilers to everyone!"
CC stared at him with her soul-seeing golden eyes. "Everyone has already watched R2, Lelouch. I'm pretty sure. Who hasn't?"
"And it's clear that I'm still alive afterwards."
CC stared at him.
"Since when did we start discussing these things? This is AU!"
And Lulu nodded with a pout.
The next night, Tamaki had somehow gotten Guilford drunk, himself included.
Lulu watched the whole scene unfold ahead of him, CC at his side as he typed away on his laptop in the lounge. He wondered where Jeremiah was to shoo the two drunks away, until he saw the man asleep on his front desk, a few bottles beside his head. Lulu narrowed his brows.
It was going to be a hectic night, he knew.
"So, Guilford, buddy," Lulu was reminded of Gino at that moment, as the blonde had bounded after Euphie a little while after Cornelia's arrival, and he skipped with a flowery aura and all, with Euphie and Suzaku. That was a strange experienced.
"I know you like that pink-haired chick," and he gave a rude belch, ending it with a chuckle.
Guilford stared at his bottle, his glass had already been thrown away sometime before, and sniffed.
"Yes,"
Tamaki grinned and moved to pat his back but missed terribly and fell from his chair. Picking himself up from the floor ungracefully, Tamaki chuckled while Guilford began to speak.
"Cornelia is a great woman. She has much pulchritude. She is brave. She has a humongous heart. Whenever I see her in danger or pain, I feel as if I have been caught in a conflagration. My heart weeps. My head aches. My body shivers."
Tamaki dragged himself upwards with the chair's armrest. "...Wha-what?"
"Nobody understands her pulchritude like I do. I am the only one who appreciates her elegance, grace and pulchritude. I wish to be a humongous help to her."
"Dude, yurr nawt making shenshe anymorre." Tamaki replied, hoisting himself up onto the chair and slurring greatly. CC raised a brow at him in interest. Lulu stifled a smirk.
Jeremiah snored on the counter top.
"I LOVE HER! I LOVE PRINCESS CORNELIA!" Guilford exclaimed, voice straining under the pressure of his drunken state. CC smirked. Lulu smiled.
"Gud for ya, dude. I support ya," Tamaki replied with a stupid grin.
The two sat in silence.
"Nippon, BANZAI!" Tamaki raised his bottle up into the air before emptying it. Guilford followed suit.
"Nippon, BANZAI!" he thought for a while, then changed his mind.
"All hail the holy empire of Brittannia!"
"JAPAN, BANZAI~"
"CORNELIA, BANZAI~"
"BEER, BANZAI~"
"Uh...BOTTLE, BANZAI~"
"SHINCHIRO TAMAKI, BANZAI~"
"JEREMIAH GOTTWALD, BANZAI~"
Jeremiah snored on the counter top. CC smirked. Lulu grinned.
Maybe having Cornelia and Guilford around wasn't so bad after all. In fact, maybe everyone's lunacy wasn't so bad after all, Lulu concluded.
WOOHOO~! I kind of enjoyed this chapter. Okay, I lied, I LOVED chapter. It makes me feel happy and fluffy. Like your reviews. Your reviews make me feel happy and fluffy. Ich liebe dich wie einen freund, jeder! (I love you as a friend, everyone!) I don't know why, but a drunken Tamaki and a drunken Guilford are fun to write. And yes, I'm sorry for killing the word pulchritude, but my teacher 'hates' it.
Well, I know I made them OOC, but this is a comedy, so it's okay, right? I think this chapter was the funniest in a while...
I hope you enjoyed! Might as well R & R, Read and Review to make us all happy. Just don't Read and Run, please. Review and Request if you want. :)
