Code Geass

[Kallen is standing outside the Student Council room]

Kallen:
[yawns] Man, this double life sure is a killer.

Milly:
[muffled] Come on, Suzaku, hold him down!

Lelouch:
[muffled] Damn it, Suzaku, cut it out! [Kallen opens the door to the Student Council room] Stop it! I'm not kidding!

Suzaku:
Sorry, Lelouch, but it's the President's orders.

[Kallen finds Nina wearing a hat and sitting at a computer and Suzaku, Shirley, Milly, and Rivalz all dressed in cat costumes and struggling to apply makeup to a visibly defiant Lelouch, who is tied to a chair and struggling to get out]

Lelouch:
Yeah, like you're not enjoying this at all?!

Shirley:
Would you hold still?!

Milly:
[notices Kallen's presence and turns to her] Good "meow"-ning.

Kallen:
Good…morning, I guess. [Lelouch, Suzaku, Shirley, and Rivalz all look at her] What is all this?

Rivalz Cardemonde:
What do you mean? Didn't we tell you? It's our welcome party for Arthur.

Kallen:
Sounds like fun.

Milly:
[chuckles] Well, classes are postponed. We might as well have some fun, right?

Shirley:
We set some stuff aside for you over here. [points towards a rack of cat costumes and several boxes of accessories] To make up for all my getting upset at you before. Take your pick.

Kallen:
What? For me?

Lelouch:
She doesn't need a costume.

Kallen:
What?

Lelouch:
[to Kallen] You're already wearing a mask, right?

Kallen:
[sarcastically, to Lelouch] You really are a riot, you know that? You ought to be on television.

Rivalz:
[to Shirley] What do you think, Ms. TV Star?

Suzaku:
Oh, I thought she meant Lelouch.

Shirley:
[sighs] Would you quit joking about that?! The whole thing's a huge pain in the butt! We've been hounded with questions day and night! Even in the bath!

Milly:
We haven't been able to leave school grounds in a week!

Rivalz:
Not that I don't feel for you, but I don't see why we can't leave either!

Milly:
Hmm, that's the price of friendship. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "It matters not that we were born apart. Upon this day, we die as one."

Rivalz:
Is that your idea of a love quote?

Milly:
If I go down, then we all do.

Rivalz:
That's a little dark. Right, Suzaku?

Suzaku:
I'm glad… [tears start welling up in his eyes] That we could all be together again… You know, like this?

Rivalz:
[jumps over Lelouch] Come on! Hey, we're supposed to be unwinding here! [takes Suzaku down to the ground with him]

[Lelouch, Shirley, and Milly all laugh]

Shirley:
That's what's so refreshing about Suzaku, though.

Milly:
Yeah, but once in a while, you just want him to get a clue, you know?

Suzaku:
[muffled as Rivalz starts pushing on his cheeks] Oh, sorry about that.

Rivalz:
Aww, you wuv it, puddy tat!

[everyone starts laughing]

Kallen:
[thinking] It's so funny to think that I helped save their lives.
