Enter Lulu's Susu!

[When Midori appears in Lelouch's room, she's sitting cross legged on his bed, smiling oh so serenely. Her skirt falls in all the right places to cover any unmentionables.]

[And Lelouch is -- well, studying himself in the mirror. This is 80% because he thinks it's too good to be true that his cat ears and tail have vanished in the middle of his slumber and 20% because it's important to look put together.

And then he sees in the mirror that there is a girl sitting on his bed.]

AAAAHHH!

[That was not a dignified manly shout, by the way. It was a pretty girly little shriek. He whips around, and -- you'd think he'd be used to this by now. C.C. used to parade around in only his shirt. He gives her a brief blank stare.]

Ah-- who -- are you?

[A good a start as any. He glances at the door, which he had not heard opening.] And how'd you get in?

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

[Starts to giggle as he screams.]

I know it's been a while Lulu, but do you really not remember me?

[Her voice is lilting, like a ~*~flute~*~]

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

[Okay, think. She knows to call him Lulu. That means she probably knows Shirley. Why doesn't he remember one of Shirley's friends? Does she go to Ashford Academy? But... barely any Japanese go to that school... except Suzaku.

Suzaku.

Why does staring at her remind him of Suzaku?]

...I'm sorry, I don't...

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

[Her smile slowly falls.]

...You don't... remember? ...Really?

[No. She's not going to cry. Her beautiful giant brown eyes that so many can get lost in are not beginning to glisten with tears.]

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

[Well, jeez. He really doesn't want to make her CRY. But his memory's kinda been fucked with lately. It's very possible a few things didn't get back in his skull after Daddy's little Geassing adventure. He starts toward her, hesitantly.]

Ah. No. I'm sorry... I...

Maybe if you tell me who you are? Maybe it'll jog something...

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

[Yup, now she's crying. Her tears shimmer like diamonds.]

M-Midori. [sniffle sniffle sniffle] Midori Kururugi.

[He backs away from her, his expression of horror turned to rage.]

Get out.

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

Lulu... why? Please don't be mad at me, I just wanted to surprise you!

[She's still crying]

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

Suzaku Kururugi is an only child. Who sent you, and what do you-- no, I don't even care what you want. Just get out of my sight.

[Never mind that there's nowhere for her to really go. Just the mention of Suzaku is bringing up all sorts of angry memories. None of them include a sister.]

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

Lelouch, what do you mean? Suzaku's my big brother - we all knew each other as children. I don't understand, what happened? Why - why did you forget me?

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

[No, no. This is a trick. This isn't real.]

There was me, and Suzaku, and Nunnally. That was it.

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

No, we were all together! [The tears drip dramatically onto her hands, which have grasped tightly at the hem of her shirt.]

Nunnally is my best friend and you and Suzaku were best friends, and we were all together, Lulu! We were the only family we had!

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

[He stares at her, hard. If she's a spy, there's no possible way she could know everything about him. Even Rolo didn't know that much, given how many memories of his had been repressed. ]

What did I say the day Japan fell, then? If you were there. Surely you'd remember.

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

[She sniffs and wipes her eyes.]

You- you said you would obliterate Britannia.

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

[Well, fuck. Still, he glares.]

Suzaku could have coached you to say that.

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

Please Lulu - don't hate him. You were friends, best friends. He loves you like a brother, I know it!

DON'T! -- Don't. Don't talk to me about Suzaku. [He's getting increasingly agitated, and begins pacing back and forth.] Now get out of my room before I remove you myself.

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

Lelouch, please. I- I won't talk about my brother. Please don't make me leave. I've missed you!

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

[He's really conflicted here. What if this was Nunnally he couldn't remember here?] If you've missed me, and we really knew each other, how is it that I don't remember you at ALL?

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

I. I don't know, Lulu! Did you hit your head?

Could someone have hurt you??

[She's standing up now, wringing her hands, clearly worried about her dear dear friend.]

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

Hit my -- no. No I didn't.

[He did possibly shoot up some drugs and OD, though. ...Or maybe he IS still on a bad trip. You're supposed to relive your past, right? No one said the past really had to have happened.]

Maybe this isn't real.

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

How could it not be real?

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

[For a whole variety of reasons. Should he just try to Geass her? If he was dead, or this was just a hallucination, that wouldn't be able to work, right? But... maybe it's better to get information out of her first.]

Okay. Fine. If you were there when we were kids, where have you been all this time?

[lulus-susu.livejournal.com]

You really don't remember? Suzaku thought it would be better if I went somewhere safe.

[ledouche-zero.livejournal.com]

... No place was safe. The country was being invaded!
