Stage 12.55:The Dream Ticket
Shirley: <sighing>
Milly: What is it, Shirley? You look distressed. Constipation? <lowers voice> Second day? (T/N: This scene is in episode 12; as for what "2nd day" refers to... women troubles.)
Shirley: No! I was worried... Should I give the concert tickets I received from father to Lelouch...?
Milly: My, we sure are a happy-go-lucky bunch. And the world is still abuzz over what happened in Narita 2 days ago, too. Like I said, it's better to just say it! "I love you~"
Shirley: No, I can't do that! Not that! <thinking> I do want to tell him, tell him "Let's go to the concert together." I do want to tell him my feelings. But how should I go about it? What if he were to refuse me?! My imaginations alone are spiralling out of control... yes, for example...
<The classic "mysterious" sound effect, often used in Infinite Ryvius's scenes with Neya>
Shirley: Lulu!
Lelouch: What is it, Shirley?
Shirley: Erm, you see, there'll be a classical concert tomorrow! I wonder if you don't mind...? Uhm, I have an extra ticket, and I was wondering whether someone might be interested...
Lelouch: Oh, that's great. Would you mind if...?
Shirley: Of course not!
Lelouch: Thanks.
Shirley: Eh... does that mean...?
Lelouch: I'm sure Nunnally will be delighted.
Shirley: Eh? <start of the gag BGM often used in the show>
Lelouch: Nunnally likes classical music. Tomorrow, is it? I'll have to make plans for Sayoko-san. Thank you, Shirley.
Shirley: Ah... you're... welcome...
<end of her first imagination>
Shirley: That's totally not going to work... Acting aloof and indifferent won't get me anywhere. I have to be more straightforward! Yes, for example...
<Mysterious sound effect #2>
Lelouch: A classical concert...?
Shirley: I'm only inviting you because you're Lulu!
Lelouch: Eh?
Shirley: It has to be Lulu! No matter what, it absolutely definitely has to be Lulu! I... To me, Lulu is...!
Lelouch: Hey, calm down, Shirley. Everyone's looking. Besides, why me? (T/N: Lelouch, you blockhead...)
Shirley: Because I... uh... I think you have nothing else to do! (T/N: Shirley, you blockhead...)
Lelouch: <annoyed> How rude! I too have a schedule to adhere to! I have my duties as a student council member, not to mention homework as well. On top of that, I have to cook, launder and gamble... 24 hours isn't enough for me-- <voice starts to fade; lecture continues> (T/N: ...gamble? >__>)
<end Shirley's 2nd imagination>
Shirley: I guess I can't be too straightforward either... <gag music starts up again> Lelouch has plans too. It's only natural for him to have a schedule. <gasp> I wonder if he might have a different reason to reject me...?
<Mysterious sound effect #3>
Lelouch: Sorry, I can't go with you. Actually, I...
Kallen: My, isn't this Shirley? What is it? Do you have business with my Lulu? (T/N: Spoken in an excessively lady-like tone)
Shirley: "Lulu"...?! (T/N: Only Shirley calls Lelouch "Lulu") Why is Kallen...?!
Lelouch: The both of us are engaged.
Kallen: Ne~, Lu~lu. Eheh <3
<Wedding bells start to ring; Lelouch and Kallen proceed to laugh gaily. Imagination #3 ends>
Shirley: N-no... that was a really strange imagination. Kallen denied it herself; that's totally not happening! But I wonder if Lulu has someone he likes...
<Mysterious sound effect #4>
Lelouch: Sorry. I already have someone I've promised my future to. (T/N: ...C.C.)
Shirley: I-it... isn't Kallen, right?
Nunnally: Onii-sama, hurry! We'll be late for the wedding!
Shirley: Eh? Nana-chan?!
Lelouch: Yeah. I'm marrying Nunnally.
Shirley: B-but, Nana-chan is your sister, isn't she? That's--
Nunnally: I'm so sorry, but actually the both of us aren't blood-related. Ufu <3
Lelouch: Well, that's just how it is. See ya!
<End of imagination>
Shirley: Stupid stupid stupid~ (T/N: "Baka baka baka!" -- she's referring to herself) That's impossible! It's true that Lelouch is kind towards Nana-chan, but...
<Mysterious sound effect #5>
Suzaku: Lelouch, hurry! We'll be late for the wedding!
Lelouch: Yeah. <cue g@y laughter from the both of them>
<End of imagination>
Shirley: Uwaaaa stop, stop! Stop imagining strange things! What am I thinking?! I'm not Sophie! (T/N: Sophie is a yaoi fangirl, confirmed) I should not have such interests!
Milly: What are you talking about, Shirley?
Shirley: K-kaichou? (T/N: Kaichou = president, but I left the term alone because it sounds really awkward in English...) I... Could I have been talking out loud...?
Milly: Totally. Right, Lelouch?
Shirley: Huh?!
Lelouch: Yeah. You're such an embarrassing person. (T/N: I guess he's talking about her yaoi fantasy... embarrassing, indeed >__>)
Shirley: B-but...
Lelouch: Whatever. Come, Milly, let us go. <start of sexy music> How's Monaco for our honeymoon?
Shirley: Eh? Wait a minute-- eh?
Rivalz: Wait just a minute! Lelouch will be marrying me!
Shirley: Rivalz too?!
Arthur: Nyaa~
Shirley: Arthur, you too?!
Nunnally: Onii-sama will be marrying me! <pout-ish voice>
Suzaku: Lelouch, you understand, right? (T/N: He means "You understand that we're the ones getting married, right?")
Kallen: Unforgivable. Lulu is mine, only mine!
Rivalz: I've already fixed the trailing empty cans behind my bike. (T/N: Newly-weds...)
Lelouch: Oi oi, there's only one of me, you know.
Milly: Well, I don't see a problem with that. Why don't we all just get married?
Rivalz: I agree, I agree! I totally agree!
Suzaku: Come, Shirley, you too! Don't just stand there.
Shirley: Eh? What? What's going on?!
Rivalz: Come on, don't be so uptight!
<cue g@y laughter by everyone; end of imagination>
Shirley: <continues to laugh>
Milly: Co~me back! <hits Shirley on the head>
Shirley: Ack!
Milly: Finally returned to this world?
Shirley: Erm... what was I...?
Milly: That's what I'd like to know. I was telling you the ABCs of Love, but all you did was keep laughing all by yourself.
Shirley: Ah, I'm sorry. I was thinking of something else.
Milly: Geez. In short, it's not enough to just think about it. Action is important!
Shirley: Yes... yes, you're right. Kaichou, I'll be off now!
Milly: Yes, go! That's the spirit-- Wait, where to?!
Shirley: <thinking> I know. It won't work if I'm afraid of getting rejected. Kaichou said so as well; "things won't last forever". If all I do is be afraid of my own imaginations, I'll be left behind. At the very least, I need to tell my feelings...
<Sound of running footsteps>
Shirley: Lulu!
Lelouch: ...what is it?
Shirley: U-uhm... My father's away from home due to work, so in order to cheer me up he sent these... and...
Lelouch: What's this?
Shirley: A concert ticket. If you don't mind, why don't we go together?
Lelouch: T-thanks.
Shirley: I-I'll be waiting! See ya!
Lelouch: Oi, you'll be waiting--? Hey!
Shirley: What should I do... I did it. I really did it! He'll come, won't he? He didn't say no... besides, we're just going to a concert! But still, this is a chance. Thanks, Father!
