By the way, here at our school... students are required to participate in at least one afterschool activity!
There're a lot of different clubs, so try and find one that interests you, okay?
Please have your decision made by the end of the week!
<If you have any questions, just ask me or Lelouch or one of the others.>

NARRATION
...admitted into the high school division of Ashford Academy...
Hey.
What sorta clubs are you enrolled in?
KALLEN
Huh?
Oh, um...
I'm actually not doing any extracurricular activites.
Just on the student council, I guess.
C.C.
The student council?
(The same as that jerk Lelouch, huh...?)
Say...
What kind of things do they do on the student council?
KALLEN
Oh?
Are you interested in joining?
Well...
I guess it's mainly working on the planning and operation of whatever events President Milly comes up with.
And, um, we also manage the budgets of all the other clubs...
C.C.
Hmph...
Apart from that, what other kinds of clubs are there?
Well, there's a basketball club...
A swim club...
Even stuff like an origami club.
KALLEN
Apart from those, there's an equestrian club, a horticulture club, a fine arts club, a light music club, a tea ceremony club... and lots of other options besides.
What sort of club would you like to join?
<flip—>
C.C.
I see...
There's no club for eating pizza, right?
KALLEN
Pizza?
I think there might be an Experimental Cooking club...
I guess they'd make and eat food there...
C.C.
(Forming a club'd be a bother...)
(At least personally.)
(Can I rely on that guy to do it?)
Student Council Room
C.C.
Yoooo.
<passing by...>
Marianne's bo—
LELOUCH
<appears!>
You again!
What're you doing here?!
C.C.
<Oh, you're here?>
The student council sure looks like fun.
LELOUCH
What part of this looks fun to you?!
Right now,
we're in the middle of settling the other clubs' accounts!
I don't have time to deal with you!
Make a provisional pizza club.
LELOUCH
...Huh?
What's that supposed to mean.
C.C.
A club so that I can eat pizza.
LELOUCH
...That makes even less sense.
<huff>
Have you forgotten our agreement?
C.C.
Well, obviously,
I'm going to be the club president.
But I'll gladly make you vice-president.
LELOUCH
NOT THAT!
Our agreement that you'd make it into the top three of your class!
There's no other activity that I wanna join.
What does the student council suggest?
LELOUCH
(Don't give me that utter sophism!)
LELOUCH
Forget it.
There's no point.
Give up.
Just stick to what we agreed—
C.C.
Are you saying it's okay for me not to join a club?
LELOUCH
...!
C.C.
Is that really something the student council vice-president should be saying?
LELOUCH
.......!
LELOUCH
(She just gets nastier and nastier...)
So, then!
What will you do, Lelouch?
LELOUCH
I reject the entire premise that I should have to do anything!
C.C.
Well,
I guess I just can't join any clubs.
<Oh well!>
My afterschool activity will just be eating pizza at home.
SFX
<scatter!>
LELOUCH
Wha—
LELOUCH
<yank!>
Hey, wait!
RIVALZ
<Huh?
Where're you going, Lelouch?>
Look, stick to our agreement.
And until you make it into the top three in your class, I'll make sure that you can get onto the student council.
C.C.
Sure, that'd be fine.
<heehh>
I don't know anything about settling accounts, though.
LELOUCH
Do I have to do everything?
Well, I guess you can barely count in the first place. Fine.
LELOUCH
We'll prioritize mathematics tonight.
C.C.
<jolt!>
Lelouch,
what's this triangle?
LELOUCH
...
(How am I supposed to explain how to find the area...)
(so that a girl with no mathematical foundation can understand...)
LELOUCH
It's how you find the volume of the pizza you eat.
C.C.
!
LELOUCH
So, in this circle...
it's how you calculate the amount of uncut pizza.
It should be easy to imagine if you think of it like that.
...
......
Lelouch, you're a genius!
<lights up!>
<sparkle, sparkle, sparkle>
Now,
try solving the problems on this page.
C.C.
<threatening atmosphere!>
<whoosh!>
C.C.
How's that!
<shine>
I've answered them all!
<slam!>
C.C.
I get it now!
All I needed to do was think of it like that, and it's easy!
<Lelouch! You really can do it if you try1, can't you~?>
LELOUCH
(Should I be happy about this...
Or depressed by it...)
Oh, right.
I'll explain things to President Milly as early in the day as I can tomorrow.
C.C.
Oh?
Then that's that.
C.C.
More importantly, tonight's dinner was delicious! You might really be a talented chef, you know?
LELOUCH
Well... Thank you.
C.C.
As I thought, you really will make a fine pizza club vice-president...
<scribble scribble>
LELOUCH
Give it a rest!!
<slam>
So, for those reasons,
please admit this girl onto the student council.
What say you, Madame President?
MILLY
I'm not saying she can't, but...
I can't help being curious~
MILLY
So, tell us,
what's your relationship with Lelouch?
Such a beautiful young girl~.
C.C.
?
<- someone else's problem
LELOUCH
(Well, it's a natural enough question...)
(It's difficult to explain her total lack of common sense...
But she's terrible at deceiving people, and liable to be misunderstood in strange ways...
Should I just be honest?)
LELOUCH
The truth is,
My parents asked me to...
Your parents?! Then you have parental approval?
LELOUCH
Excuse me?
When you put it like that—
RIVALZ
Is she, like, a childhood friend?
LELOUCH
You've got it completely wrong!
SHIRLEY
Then—
What IS your relationship with her?!
LELOUCH
Good grief!
Please tell me you're all joking!
SUZAKU
Lelouch, you in there?
Suzaku? What's the matter!
Do you need something!
SUZAKU
Euphy wanted me to bring this—
<I hope I'm not too late?>
SUZAKU
Hey—
Ummm...
Aren't you...?
C.C.
...Hmm?
LELOUCH
<Don't just stuff your face in the middle of the student council room whenever you feel like it!>
...the girl I keep seeing going into Lelouch's place?
<I've been seeing her a lot lately. Huh...>
LELOUCH
<thud!>
SUZAKU
Oh, pleased to meet you! I'm Suzaku Kururugi, and I live in the same apartment complex.
C.C.
<Kururugi?>
EVERYONE
Whaaaaat?!?
SUZAKU
<Hahaha.>
C.C.
?
