Full Summary: Near and Mello are at a picnic, but what happens when it gets interrupted in the most unexpected way? Near and Mello must combine minds to solve the most dangerous mystery.
Chapter 1: The Chocolate
Mello made a loud crunch as he bit into his bar of chocolate, sitting under the gray sky. He saw the small white figure moving towards him.
Near sat on the picnic blanket and peaked into the basket. He pulled out an action figure. Mello knew Near too well. Near wasn't interested in food, he was interested in toys. Near began to pretend that the robot was soaring through the air.
"Near," Mello stated, taking another bite of his chocolate.
Without looking up, Near replied, "Mello."
Near's stomach finally gave way and began to growl. Near sighed in his mind. They only had chocolate, thanks to the choco-holic sitting before him.
As if to answer his need for food, a genie appeared before them and inquired what Near would have to eat. Mello's eyes were wide with fear as he dropped the chocolate bar. To his amazement, Near did not react. He only answered that he wanted food.
Suddenly, the blanket they were sitting on levitated into the air, revealing its true nature as a magic carpet. Before it carried them away, Mello snatched his chocolate bar (while screaming in fear). Then, they were in the air, wild and free. Eventually, Mello wasn't afraid anymore. He was glad that he had the chance to go on an adventure. And it proved to be worth the while.
Near grew up to be a legend.
