Hey everyone! Well this is my first Death Note fic, so it should be fun to write. I decided that there weren't enough MelloxOC and MattxOC stories out there so I decided to change that. Hehe. So let me know what you think! Off you go then!

Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note or its characters. I do own Evie though.

"Dammit! Where the hell did I put all those chocolate bars?!" exclaimed Mello, practically dismantling the entire room in a desperate attempt to find the candy.

"You ate them all yesterday, Mello…" Matt said lazily, his eyes focused on the video game in front of him, a cigarette dangling from between his lips.

"Shit!"

"Look, it's called a grocery store. Just go and get some more." Matt explained, his gaze still glued on the game.

Mello chose to ignore Matt's suggestion as he continued searching for the chocolate, becoming angrier with every passing minute. It was only when an empty cup went soaring past Matt's head, just inches from hitting him, that he looked up from his game in Mello's direction.

"Alright, I can see where this is going. Just gimme some money and I'll go get your damn chocolate. I need some cigs anyway." Matt said as he stood up and walked over to Mello, his hand outstretched to receive the money.

"Hurry up." Mello demanded as Matt walked out and closed the door behind him.

It was dark and quiet as Matt walked slowly down the street, heading for the 24 hour store a few blocks away. As he neared the store, the open windows cast long slabs of light across the dark sidewalk, the 'Open' sign blinking blinding fluorescent against the dark night. The sliding doors allowed Matt entry as he made his way toward the cigarettes, then toward the chocolate. He was the only one in the small store, except for the cashier, who he heard humming a sad tune and flipping through the pages of a magazine. As he approached the cashier, she quickly put her magazine away and stopped humming, giving him a quick smile instead. He set the mound of chocolate and cigarettes on the counter and she began to ring them up.

"Okay, it comes to $35.50 please. That's a lot of…choc…o…late…" her voice trailed away as she stared up at Matt, who was holding the money out toward her. A puzzled expression adorned her face as she continued to stare at him.

"Uhh...is something wrong?" He asked, not exactly sure of what to say at a time like this.

"Do I…know you?" the girl questioned, squinting a little more as she examined him.

"I don't think so." He said as he put the money on the counter and pushed it toward her, hoping that she would get the idea and hurry up.

She shook her head slightly and seemed to snap out of it, taking the money and putting it in the register.

"I'm sorry," she explained, "it's just that you remind me of someone I knew a long time ago. I didn't mean to be rude or anything."

"Sure. No problem." Matt said, taking his change and shoving it into his pocket as he gathered up the plastic sack and began to walk out the door.

"Matt…"

He stopped quickly and turned around to look back at the cashier. It was barely audible but he was sure he had heard her say his name.

"Did you say something?" he asked.

"Your name…is your name Matt?" she asked timidly, but with a hopeful look on her face.

"Yeah…"

"Matt…from Wammy's House?"

"Um yeah…who—"

But before he could finish his question he was knocked slightly off balance as the girl ran up to him and hugged him, smiling happily.

"It's me! Evie! Don't you remember?" she asked, smiling up at him as she broke the hug and stepped back.

"Evie?! It's really you? I didn't even recognize you!" Matt said, a grin now forming on his face as well.

"Yeah, it's me! I thought I knew you from somewhere! It's so good to see you again, what have you been up to?"

"Uh, not much really…" he lied, deciding that telling her that he was working with Mello in order to capture Kira before Near might be a bit much.

"Yeah, same here I guess. So do you ever talk to Mello anymore? You two were such good friends back in Wammy's. I miss him a lot, too!" Evie asked, still overjoyed at being reunited with her old friend.

Matt took one look at her hopeful, eager face and gave her a hesitant smile, knowing that this was going to turn out to be a long night.

Sooo, what'd you think? I know this chapter was pretty short and I'm sorry, also, there'll be more Mello next chapter, so don't despair! Gimme feedback por favor! Thanks!
