Hello everyone! This is a new drabble series based on Death Note:: Apprentice Glass. This first chapter was written in honor of Halloween of 2010. The series will have no plot whatsoever; every chapter will contain something different and random. Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or its characters. I only own Kyon and Nina. I wish to dedicate this chapter to LawlietxChoi15 in Quizilla. Her 'Death Note Roleplay: A Beyond Birthday Story' inspired me to write Apprentice Glass. Please find time and read her roleplay! Now, enjoy!

"Watari-san, is Eru-san distracted?" Asks the brunette successor as she peeks into the living room.

"Yes, Miss Kyon. I started playing some horror movies for him to watch." The elderly man replies.

Her green eyes stray over to find the raven haired detective crouching in his usual form on the couch, watching the television. Watari had played the movie, The Fourth Kind on it. It seems as if he kept analyzing the movie too much. He looked clearly bored and maybe a bit hungry. Today was Halloween, his own birthday and L hasn't been allowed to eat ONE piece of candy. But he didn't know about Kyon's little surprise.

"Good. If he tries to come into the kitchen, tell him it's haunted or something. Do anything to keep him away." She ordered before going back inside.

The kitchen at the moment wasn't a pretty sight. The young apprentice has asked Nina for help to bake a Halloween cake for L's birthday. Unfortunately, she can't cook or bake to save her life, even with her bodyguard's help. There were eggs, flour and cake batter splattered all around the room. The poor oven is covered with fire extinguisher foam due to an accident. Black and orange frosting was sprayed all over the kitchen table, where the tall Brazilian girl sat while glaring at their creation. By the counter was a strange sight.

The birthday cake was horribly unleveled, completely covered with frosting. The words, Happy Birthday L were written in a mess. Nina decided to make bats and ghosts on the cake with the frosting, but they look more like owls and blobs. To top it all off, some of the fire extinguisher foam got on the almost burnt cake.

"Well... it's not THAT bad... it looks better than our first cake..." Kyon says as she looks over at the first large cake that is... wait- Oh god, it's MOVING!

"It's alive!" Nina takes out the large spatula to beat up the growling cake.

[Unfortunately, we need to censor this extremely violent moment where Nina kicks the cake's ass. Please, think of the children.]

"Happy Birthday, Eru-san." Kyon says, placing the ruined cake on the living room table.

L merely bites his thumb and looks at the cake curiously.

"I've never seen you work in the kitchen before. Did you make this?" He asks.

The young apprentice gave a small, nervous laugh while playing with the hem of her dress.

"Yes, I asked Nina-chan for help, but she is getting rid of our first attempt of making a cake.." She replies, listening to Nina's battle cries coming from the kitchen.

"I see..." He mutters as he wipes some of the frosting off of the cake to taste it. Kyon looks at him expectantly and full of hope. Because of this, L opens his mouth and says,

"Not bad..."

Her eyes widened at this before smiling in realization.

"I can tell when you're lying, Eru-san.. but thank you."
