A/N: So I came up with a really dumb idea.

I thought to myself, "What if the Wammy boys and Light never met in my original story?"

Then I thought, "What if they met the selves that were never part of Wammys?"

And, long story short, this fanfic was born.

Try to go easy on me, this was meant to be a fun fanfic in a sense where I don't care about the possibilities in science at all. But, basically, there's a lot of skipping between both worlds. You'll understand after reading the first chapter.

With that, Enjoy, review, and pet a potato!


(Matt P.O.V)

I heard the blonde groan from behind me and I couldn't help the eye-roll. Didn't he know that this was important to me? Yes it was farfetched, but I believed it was possible.

"Dude, if I get this up and running, we could travel between dimensions! Are you not at all interested in that!?"

"No, because I like to live in a place called 'reality' Matt. Please, won't you join me?"

"Mel, quit being facetious. You could be part of history if you just helped me out." I said as I plugged in another cord to the platform. If my calculations were correct, I'd be able to achieve my goal by tonight. Three months of work won't be wasted now.

I'd begun the research a year ago but my plans only took root around a week after L and Light got married. I'd been hard at work preparing everything and listening to Mello judge my every action, but I was set on going through to another dimension. Possibly a parallel universe. Yes, I had my doubts, but I had to try. To try is to succeed at least.

Mello growled. "Why do you even care about this, Matt?"

"Because this would be a scientific breakthrough!" I exclaimed. "I'd be the first to travel to a different place in the universe, one that's different from ours!"

"But how do you know that one even exists? How do you know that we aren't the only timeline?"

"And how are you sure that we aren't?" I asked, countering his debate.

"Because I'm a realist. The glass has water in it, it isn't half empty or half full, it's just fucking water!"

I rolled my eyes. "You don't know that for sure."

I took out a pence then and flipped it, catching it without a problem. "Heads or tails?"

He gave me a look of question before deciding. "Tails."

I opened my palm to reveal heads. "You were wrong this time, but what if there's pro for every con? What if you were right that it was indeed tails in a universe where the coin flipped but landed on tails?"

The blonde rolled his eyes. "If the universe was based on that theory, then there would be an infinite-"

"-Number of universes." I finished. "Exactly! So what if that were possible?! To find at least one universe in this lifetime that paralleled with ours? That ran on the same concept, but one thing was different?"

I went back to my work and started fixing a few wires.

Mello groaned. "So what if there are, Matt. What's so bad about where we are right now? Can't you just leave things where they are and live life?"

He sat next to me and stopped my work with a hand on his cheek. "What is so important about finding something outside our grasp? Aren't you happy with what you have right now?"

I sighed heavily and kissed his temple. "Of course I am. But there's just so much to learn from what could have been, or what should have been. What if I made a mistake, or what could I do to become different?"

Mello just dropped his hand from my face and stood up. "Well, when you find it, let me know what it is you need so this can end."

He walked away from me then to sit on a chair, back turned to me and mind occupied with a bar of chocolate.

I rolled my eyes at him. There was nothing wrong with what I was doing. I just wanted to find a truth that was out there. I mean, I'd made so many mistakes in my lifetime, and maybe there was some I wasn't aware of, so I needed to know what it was that could help me to do better. Mello just didn't get it.

I connected one last wire to another and the machine lit up brightly. It was a tiny thing, barely taking up a corner of the room, but if my math was correct I knew it could do much more than just light up.

I took the television remote – that I'd modified to help me control this thing – and pressed a few buttons. Within moments a light shone out from the top of the contraption and opened up in front of me to reveal another room. It was an odd room, filled with a psychedelic blue light that waved about. It was certainly out of the ordinary, but it was most likely what I was looking for.

I tried to step through when Mello grabbed me. "Matt, don't! You have no idea…!"

"Would you quit worrying! I'll be fine!" I assured him.

"At least let me come with you." He demanded. "I don't want you in there alone."

I agreed hurriedly and stepped through before he could stop me again. He trailed in behind me and soon we were in the odd looking room that seemed to go on forever and ever.

"What is this place?" Mello asked me. "It doesn't even look real."

I shrugged. "Couldn't tell ya. My guess is we're in the dimension between time and space."

The blonde before me got nervous. "Alright, you found what you were looking for. Now let's get out of here…"

"Not yet." I interrupted, fooling around with the buttons to the remote. "We still haven't found…"

Jackpot!

I pressed in a few numbers and another door opened right next to the original door. Our ticket to another dimension.

"Come on!" I said excitedly before hopping through the new door.

"Wait!" Mello called. "Matt please…!"

But it was far too late.

I jumped to the other side and was amazed to see I was in the noble grounds of Great Britain. I recognized it due to Mello's nobility and him having to share tea with his parents, inevitably dragging me with him. I couldn't believe what I'd accomplished.

If I didn't find another dimension, I at least was able to jump from place to place.

Mello followed me in and he looked scared out of his mind. "Matt, what if we get stuck here!?"

"Don't worry." I said as I showed him the remote. "The power button acts as a lifeline. The moment we want to leave, we press power then reset, and we go back to Wammys. I thought everything through, I promise you."

He still looked unsure but I put a hand on his shoulder to keep him close. "Ten minutes. That's all I ask. I still need to make sure that this is indeed a parallel universe or a jump from Wammys to your street."

"Then please, let's go to my parents. At least I know it'll be safe there… I hope."

I chuckled. "I don't think I've ever seen you this scared before."

He grabbed on to my arm. "Please Matt!"

I rolled my eyes. "We'll be fine Mels. Don't worry!"

We walked together up the street and towards Mello's parent's estate, it didn't look that different… aside from the rather large and scary gate that surrounded the place. Indeed… this was not there last week when we went for tea, nor was it spoken of. Could I have…?

Mello let go of my arm and slowly walked up to the gate. "This… this isn't my parents. Well, it is… but they never had a gate like this." He looked down at his feet then. "But they had spoken about one once. When I was a kid. It was after the rape…"

He didn't say another word, he just climbed up the fence and over to the other side. He then ran ahead of me as I quickly tried to follow him. What on earth had gotten into him? What was it he was seeing that I wasn't?

I found him up a tree and looking into a window in astonishment. I didn't understand why…

Until I looked in for myself.

His parents were there, along with a camera crew and his brother Emmett. But in front of the cameras, who were all locked onto him, was a slimmer, for effeminate Mello, posing and smiling for the photographers. He wasn't wearing any leather, but he was wearing a thin, grey silk shirt with dark skinny jeans and high tops. It looked as if this Mello was a model for his mother… and the cameras were just eating him up.

The only way I could tell this was Mello was from his eyes. They were shaped and coloured exactly like the Mello I knew. And by the looks of it, my Mello was in shock at seeing himself.

We listened in on the cameraman.

"Amelia, your boy will be top of the charts until the day he dies, I swear it!" The man said excitedly. "Even Amane couldn't out blonde him!"

Mello – er… Mihael I suppose – smiled happily. "Joshua, don't make me blush! But, you're right. Amane's got nothing on me."

"Watch it, son." His mother replied. "She's good friend of mine, and she works hard. The only reason you're a model at all is because I needed one four years ago."

"And have I let you down since?" He asked as he made a turn for the cameras.

His mother sighed. "I suppose not. But please be more humble."

The cameras flashed, and Mihael hummed. "No promises."

Mello blinked. "Does my hair really look that stupid?"

I shook my head. "Nah, you go less body to your hair than he does."

I sat on the same branch as him now. "But Mello, can't you believe this! We travelled to a new dimension! We're going to go down in history for this!"

Mello barely even registered what I'd said. "What the hell is his diet? One pea through every meal!? I can see my ribcage!?"

I sighed. "Are you this dense or are you truly worried about something far from our control?"

He shook his head of the thoughts. "Sorry. Yes, Matt, it's exciting, but we have to get back! Our ten minutes is up!"

I grumbled. "Fine. Just let me…"

We both jolted at the sound of barking and I dropped the remote, having it land into the mouth of a Rottweiler awaiting at the bottom. And, in one fell swoop, the remote was crunched into pieces… our hopes of getting home dwindled into nothingness. We were stuck here… for good.

I turned to Mello slowly before flinching at the sight of his twitching eye.

"Err… looks like we'll be a while." I tried to laugh off.

I relatively deserved the black eye I received.
