"Near, do you want to help decorate? L is coming here today." A said. Near smiled and nodded. Matt had been wraped in wrapping paper by BB as a prank and BB gave him to Mello.
"Merry early Christmas, Mello." BB said. Mello unwraped it to reveal Matt's face.

"L!" Everyone shouted. Near smiled and gave L a hug remembering when L found him in June.
(Flashback)
Near had been walking when someone with a knife walked up to his family. His mother hugged him.
"Run, Nate everything will be OK." His mother said. Near then ran away as he ran he saw a car almost hit him it stopped on time. Near saw someone with black hair and bags under his eyes around 12 or 13 years old peek out. Near stared at him for about a minute and saw the guy with the knife heading towards him, this time with blood on his knife. Near gasped, waved goodbye and ran ito the woods. Near then thought about what would happen to him and what had happend to his parents and siblings. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice he ran straight into a lake.
"HELP!" Near shouted gasping for air. Near then got pushed by the water and got hit in the head with a rock and sank down. Near then woke up on a hospital bed with bandages on his forehead. The boy who was in the car that almost hit and an old man walked in. Near looked at them. The boy handed him an evelope to him. Near opend it and read it.
Dear Nate River,
You have been proven smart enough to be accepted into the orphanage, Whammy's House.
Your intellegence would sereve some value and possibly let you succeed the great detective known worldwide as, L.
I am letting you choose wether you want to go to Whammy's House or not. I would be forever grateful if you said yes.
-L
P.S. I'm sorry Watari almost hit you.
Near then looked at the two and realized that the young boy he met before was L. Near looked at him.
"I guess since I know your L now I have to yes." Near said.
"ThanK you, I also request you go by Near from now on instead of Nate." L said. Near nodded and L gave him a toy.
(Present time.)
Near then got pushed aside by Mello.
"BB GOT ME A FRIEND!" The 6 year old blonde shouted. Matt squirmed out of the rest of the paper.
"Backup, don't do that again." L said. BB glared.
"DON'T CALL ME BACKUP!" BB shouted. Matt laughed. L then took out a present.
"Near, I need you to swear to not open this until Christmas." L said. Near nodded. A girl came up to him.
"L does this on one new kid's first Christmas here." She said. Mello and Matt nodded. Near then hugged it.
