Dance
It was a cold december night. The next week would be the last week of the winter term classes in Wammy's house and the last day there had to be an activity. L had only that idea in his head "What can I do so the children can have a good time?" He thought. Every year L was in the same situation. And each year L didn't know what to do so the children weren't bored."Watari!" L yelled. "What do you want sir?" Watari said this as he appeared immediately at the room where Ryuuzaki was sitting. "What could I do for the children tomorrow, I have been thinking about it for years and I still don't know what to do" Ryuuzaki said with his eyes fixed in the cookie he was about to eat.
The last day of each term L was supposed to do an activity for the children of Wammy's House. The problem was that L couldn't think of anything to do. "Watari, what could I do tomorrow in Wammy's" L asked again. "I remember that once when I was still a kid and in Wammy's House the current L of the time decided to make a dance. It didn't go on as expected then. But you could do a Victorian-based dance with masks and clothes like the ones that were used then I'm sure that the dance would be quite enjoyable" Watari said looking at L. "Yes! That's it!" Ryusaki said nervous from excitement "I will do that. Thanks Watari! Call Roger immediately communicating him what to do so the dance is ready tomorrow" "Yes sir" Watari said before turning around and leaving the room with a small smile he had managed to hide from L.
Watari went to the room with the computers and called Roger. "Roger, I'm Watari, and L has finally decided what he will do. You have to prepare a Victorian-based masked dance. It has to be like the dances of those times." "Okay Watari" Roger said.
Lots of boys and girls were gathering around an announcement that had been put up by Roger few seconds before. "Wow what's this! So in five days time there will be a masked dance! And we have to get Victorian-like clothes!" Someone shouted. Near looked at the other boys and girls from the floor, were he was sitting doing another puzzle. People were shouting, too much for his liking. It was unbearable to be in the playroom right now and it was impossible for him to try and do his favorite puzzle, the one that was complete white and had an L in its top right corner. As he got up he passed behind the other boys and girls. He saw an announcement that had in big black letters "Masked Victorian dance this Friday" Near read while his bored look suddenly changed into a surprised look. "What? How did L think of this?"
Mello was in his way to the playroom with Matt to bother Near when he saw his rival looking at an announcement with a surprised eyes. "What?" He said before running to where Near was leaving Matt behind for few seconds. "Near, what happens? It just isn't normal to see you with that face!" Mello said to Near. Near returned to his normal boring-looking before looking at Mello and answering his question "There will be a masked Victorian dance this Friday" Near said before seeing Mello trying to say "What?."

"Matt how could they!" Mello screamed at 2:00 AM in the bedroom he shared with Matt. "I don't want to go to that dance in Friday!""How could L do that?" "He knows I hate dances!" "Matt are you asleep?!" "WAKE UP!" Mello screamed "Well then don't go" Matt said with a voice that showed how tired he was. "No I have to go! If not my reputation will fall apart!" Mello said worried "But I don't have a partner and that is worse than not going!" Mello shouted. "I already have a partner" Matt said uninterested in what Mello was saying. Mello suddenly stopped shouting when he said Matt say that. "And who are you going with?" Mello asked Matt. "With Linda" Matt said happily "I have managed to get a partner before you and do you know what Mello? I think that now all the girls will have a partner by now" Matt said before falling asleep completely. "What?" Mello shouted before going to his bed "What will I do now?" He asked to himself before falling asleep.

Near woke up at 5:30 AM "I'll go and get the Victorian clothes that I will wear even if I don't have a partner" He thought. He went to Roger's room. "Roger? Can I go in?" Near asked "Yes" Roger answered. Near went in the room. "I want suitable clothes for me to wear in Friday's dance" He said. One second later Roger went to the cupboard that was in his room and got out a completely white suit with some gold lines and a white mask with gold lines near its borders that would cover half of his face. It had a 19th century style. "I like it" Near said as he got hold of the clothes "Thanks Roger" Near said as he went to his room.
Roger smiled. He had a black suit he had for Mello. Few minutes later he heard some knocks on the door "Come in" Roger said. Then he saw Mello come in with a worried face "Can you give some clothes that I can wear in Friday?" Mello asked. Roger smiled and got out the black suit that had a style that was similar to the clothes that were worn by the men in the 18th century. "Thanks Roger" Mello said as he got hold of the clothes and the mask and went to his room. "Maybe this hasn't been a bad idea at all" Roger thought.

"I'm going with Linda" Matt said when he had finished putting on his red 19th century like suit. Mello looked up at Matt "You should see yourself!" He said "You look so funny!" Mello said containing his laughs. Matt looked offended for a moment before getting off his goggles and putting on the mask. "Are you sure that you aren't going to the dance Mello?" Matt asked "No, I won't go" Mello said. "Well then goodbye!" "Bye!" Mello said. And just then, when Matt left the room, Mello got a suitcase that he hided underneath his bed. He opened it and got out his 18th century like black suit. "As long as nobody knows that I'm there everything is fine" he told to himself as he put on the suit.
