Lily: A Death Note Fanfiction
(note: side MelloxMatt)
Lily sat on her big brother's bed. Her laptop was in her lap, and her mouse was on the wooden board beside her. Matt sat at his desk in the corner of the room. Both siblings stared intently at their computer screens. From the laptop came a computerized voice saying, You're forces are under attack. Lily grinned. Oh, it was about to get real. She dragged her mouse over the big huddle of idle siege tanks and listened for the familiar I-dentify target! She sent them to attack the intruders. Pro-ceedin'. She stopped for a second, then selected the SCV that had just finished building a string of Supply Depots. Orders, cap'n? She selected 'missile turret' from the menu, and right-clicked on a space near an opening to the base. Orders received. She checked the progress of siege mode research. Almost finished. thirty seconds, maybe? It would be just enough time. In the meantime, she focused on building up her army of ghosts and wraiths. Invisibility was really useful for attacks early on in the game, because the other team probably didn't have anti-invisibility measures yet. She checked the status of Stimpack research next. That was finished. Medics were healing the Marauders that were injured by the last wave of intruders. Additional supply depots required. Huh? She had just built five more. She shrugged and selected an idle SCV, instructing it to build a long line of Supply Depots in the space behind the nearly-depleted minerals. When they were built, Lily proceeded to create a mob of Thors in the clearing to the left of the base. This map was familiar enough that she didn't need to explore to know where she could build. She checked in on the Siege tank research. The next wave of Zerg would be upon them in 5... 4... 3... 2...
Research complete. Lily grinned.
"You need any help, Lily?" Matt asked, glancing over at her.
"Nope. This is too easy," she said, putting the tanks into siege mode.
"Do you need any help, Matt?" she asked, smirking.
"Oh please. I've got this," he responded. Mello came into the room.
"What's up?" he said casually. Matt turned away from the screen, which he didn't do much. Lily smirked and coughed suggestively while pausing the game. Then, she put on a high-pitched girly voice and said, "I've already checked you out, commander," mimicking the flirty tones of a medic. Matt glared daggers at her.
"Shut up, Lily."
Mello, of course, didn't get the reference.
"So, you guys are just playing some stupid game, right?" Both redheads stared at him. Lily raised her eyebrows incredulously, clicking on a siege tank five times. The tank's voice said, What IS your major malfunction? Matt laughed., then tried to stifle it. He couldn't.
"Seems kinda boring to me." This time, Matt turned back to his computer. He selected a marine four times. Oh my god, he's whacked! Lily burst into a fit of giggles. She loved this game.
Mello gave the two of them a look. That just made Lily laugh harder at his ignorance. There were rumors around the school that Mello was a tough kid, and not someone you should mess with, but Mello was Matt's only friend... besides Lily of course. And Mello didn't seem so bad, so Lily liked to tease him anyway. She didn't care what the other kids said. Mello rolled his eyes. Matt grinned.
"Hey, Lily, will you go get my Gatorade from the fridge?"
"De-lighted to, sir!" Lily quoted, hopping up and running to the kitchen. Mello gave Matt a look that clearly said: 'Gatorade? Really?' Matt grinned.
"Don't judge. Leading an army through space to fight aliens requires energy." Mello rolled his eyes again.
"I sincerely doubt that."
"But, it's true!"
"Whatever. So, what's this game called?"
"Starcraft. One of the best games of all time." Mello snorted.
"Really. I'll show you."
"No thanks."
"It wasn't a question."
Lily skipped back in.
"Sis, do you mind if I show Mello how to play really quickly? It'll only take a bit." Lily felt a little annoyed at first. This was her day with Matt, after all. Then, a thought struck her. She grinned -no, more like smirked- at Matt. He gave her a look.
"Go ahead, TACCOM," Lily said. She minimized the game, and pulled up the App she'd been building. She worked on the game for about an hour, until finally Matt stood up.
"And that's how you play Starcraft," he concluded.
"Alright, Lily. My attention's yours." Lily smiled.
"Can we keep playing?"
"It's your dime." Lily giggled.
"Let's play three on three!"
"But we've only got two- oh, you want Mello to play?"
"Yeah," Lily said, turning to Mello and giving him a pleading look.
"That won't work on me," Mello said flatly. Lily raised an eyebrow at him, then asked, "Do you have a computer?"
"Yeah, but I won't play."
"What kind?"
"Lenovo."
"Does it get wifi from the school system?"
"Well, yeah. Why does that matter?"
"Because now I have all the information I need to trace and hack it. Play with us." Mello stared at her.
"Hey that's blackmail!" Lily shrugged. Mello scowled. He wasn't used to being tricked. Especially not by an eight-year-old.
"Fine, I'll play. But you owe me." Lily gave him an 'are-you-stupid?' kind of look.
"I'm eight."
Mello threw up his hands. "You blackmailed me!"Matt laughed, sitting back down at the computer.
A couple hours of gaming later, the three of them turned off the game.
"Lily, are you hungry? It's about dinner time."
"Okay. TV dinner night?"
"Lily, you've known me since you were born... Every night is TV dinner night." Lily grinned.
"To the kitchen!" Matt declared. Lily followed him out of the bedroom, Mello close behind. Matt opened up the freezer and pulled out three dinners. He put the first one in the microwave and set it for three minutes. When the timer beeped, he twirled it in the air like a pizza and tossed it towards Lily, who caught it easily. She set it on the counter but didn't open it. She put her hands on her hips and laughed. Whenever Lily came, Matt pretended to give her a TV dinner first, but really they got to have dessert before dinner. Sure enough, Matt grinned.
"Psych." He reached into the fridge again and grabbed a tub of chocolate ice cream.
Pretty good first chapter, aye? Review please! No flaming, but constructive criticism is appreciated.
