MILLY
Okay, everyone! Listen up!

MILLY
<lighting up!>
We're going on a summer camping trip!

EVERYONE
<silence~>

MILLY
<whine> Hey, what's with this reaction?

NUNNALLY
Milly, when you say 'camping'...

MILLY
That's right, Nunnally!
<tap>
We're going to the ocean!

LELOUCH
I think not.
What sort of reason could the student council possibly have for going to the ocean?

MILLY
Well, of course we'd be going for the sake of our YOUTH!
For example!! The ocean air would be so CLEAN!

SHIRLEY
<Are those two things really related...?>

MILLY
It would feel great, swimming with all our hearts!

KALLEN
<Well...>

MILLY
There's limited edition pizza (maybe)!

C.C.
<When can we leave?!>

MILLY
And being at the beach in the summer might make us bolder!

RIVALZ
<clench!>
Yeah! I've always thought we needed to take more advantage of our youth!

LELOUCH
<irritable> Oh, come on...
You're letting Madame President trick

NUNNALLY
Oh, going to the ocean in the summer would be wonderful! I would love to go, Brother!

LELOUCH
That's true. Shall we?

MILLY
Then it's decided~!

SHIRLEY
...

C.C.
...Hm?

MILLY
...and now we're dressed for the beach!

KALLEN
A cloudless sky over the ocean blue... man, this feels great!

C.C.
<Where's the beach house...>

RIVALZ
Hey,
aren't you two coming with?

LELOUCH
No, I'll wait here, so please go on ahead.

SFX
<beep!>

NUNNALLY
?

NUNNALLY
Brother? Aren't we going down to the ocean?

LELOUCH
Hmm? <Haha!> How unusual. Are you that impatient?

NUNNALLY
<fluster>
Oh, no.
Of course not...

SFX
<running>

SUZAKU
Sorry we kept you waiting!

EUPHEMIA
It took us a long time to get ready... forgive us!

NUNNALLY
Those voices...! BIG SISTER EUPHEMIA! SUZAKU!

EUPHEMIA
<Nunnally...!>

SUZAKU
<Sorry again about the wait!>

LELOUCH
It was a good opportunity, so I called Suzaku and Euphy.
(After all, I have to make sure this is the best possible memory for Nunnally.)

MILLY
<Over here, over here!>

MILLY
Well~ I think I'll take this opportunity to get a beautiful tan~.

RIVALZ
P... Prez... if it's okay with you, I could...!

KALLEN
Hey, Suzaku! Race me in a long-distance swimming match?

SUZAKU
Sure! I won't go easy on you!

C.C.
<chomp! chew, chew> ♪

LELOUCH
Huh? You don't know how to swim, Euphy? Would you like to get a little practice in?

LELOUCH
Just so... Now, release the tension from your muscles...
Don't be afraid of the water...

EUPHEMIA
W, wait a second, Lelouch...

SHIRLEY
<silence~>

SHIRLEY
<pout>
Ugh... This sucks...

SHIRLEY
!
(If I slipped out of my floatie and pretended to drown...
I wonder if Lulu would come to save me...?)

SHIRLEY
Help!

SFX
<splash!>

SHIRLEY
Lulu!!

LELOUCH
Shirley!?

EUPHEMIA
Huh?!

C.C.
Hmm?

LELOUCH
Wait for me, Shirley! I'll be right there!

SFX
<cramp>

LELOUCH
(Crap! My legs are...!)
Err...

LELOUCH
Ack—

EUPHEMIA
Lelouch!

LELOUCH
It's no use... at this rate...!

NARRATION
At the Villa

SUZAKU
Thank goodness.
You're awake!

LELOUCH
Suzaku?
Is Shirley...?!
<abruptly>

SUZAKU
She's fine.
Kallen saved her!

LELOUCH
I see...

SUZAKU
More importantly!

SUZAKU
Lelouch, you shouldn't have gone into the water without limbering up enough!
<Have some water!>
I'm glad I was close enough this time, but...

LELOUCH
Yeah, sorry.
You really saved me.

MILLY
Seems like Lelouch is doing okay.

KALLEN
That Shirley... Why would she pretend to drown?

MILLY
Well, love does make you do silly things sometimes.1

KALLEN
...I see.

NINA
Mills... is Shirley all right?

MILLY
I think... it might be best to give her some space for now...

SFX
<step>

SHIRLEY
<glooooom>

C.C.
Hey. What'd you do that for?

SHIRLEY
...I... like Lulu.
So... when I saw how close he and Euphy were...
It made me feel sorta crummy.

C.C.
Oho?
What a strange girl you are.
All this over someone so stuck up and condescending, who does nothing but complain about petty things...

SHIRLEY
That's not how he is!!

SHIRLEY
Lulu is... always doing his best!
He does so much to make Nunna happy!
And not just that, but he's always putting himself last for everyone else's sake!

SHIRLEY
That's the Lulu I've come to know!

SHIRLEY
And before I knew it, I'd... I'd fallen for him...
So...

C.C.
And have you... told him any of this?

SHIRLEY
...

C.C.
...He's too dense to notice on his own.
So you should use small words.

SHIRLEY
(Are you encouraging me, C.C....?)

SHIRLEY
Thank you!
But... is it really okay with you?

SHIRLEY
If I tell Lulu how I feel?

C.C.
<heh>

C.C.
Do what makes you happy.

<TO BE CONTINUED...>

CC's so beautiful in this chapter. I also love her outfit when she's talking with Shirley at the beach (+ponytail looks good on her)
