Watari says I need to get out more. Eating sweets all day and doing crossword puzzles doesn't count as fun. Neither does repeatedly heckling Light or calling Matsuda stupid. But I thought he knew me better than this…..
L thought this dismally as he, Light, and Matsuda approached the looming arch rising into the noon sun. The sign was bright blue and red and from behind it came the wails of demonic beasts that L classifies as kids.
They were at an amusement park that was being sponsored by Wammy House. This trip was all on Watari and he forced L and the others out to ride some of the rides. As shown, L is not amused. But the others….
"I'm going to ride on the Enterprise! Then the Drop Tower, Lazy River, Hurricane, and BUMPER CARS. I've got a whole list right here of stuff we can ride on, which one you want to go on first?" Matsuda was ten steps ahead of the group and was dressed in the tackiest Hawaiian shirt in creation. True vacation fashion.
Light was adorned in sunglasses and a red button down, short sleeved shirt with shorts. With a ten pound cooler filled with sweets. And a scowl. He drew the short straw and had to carry L's snack luggage which wasn't improving his mood.
"I want to ride on anything that doesn't have you on it. Or it runs you over. The latter is better," Light said belligerently as he tried to get a grip on the cooler. "Or anything competitive, I could really use a stuffed bear right now."
"A stuffed bear? Seriously? Well, children need toys, I suppose," L replied as he shuffled along in a plain white t-shirt, shorts, and purple flip flops. "Though I highly doubt you have the mental capacity for even amusement park games. Carnies are smart."
"Screw off, you diabetic dumbass! What makes you think that I can't out win you in carnival games?"
"Uh, because I'm leagues smarter than you? And less volatile?"
"If being able to devour twelve strawberry cake slices is your definition of genius, then I'm proud to be an idiot."
"So you admit that you're an idiot? Duly noted."
"NO. I meant if I were an idiot-"
"Which you are-"
"Am not!"
"Are."
"A-"
"WHO WANTS TO GO ON THE CAROUSAL WITH ME?! THEY JUST ADDED A UNICORN TO IT."
L and Light paused in their arguing to stare at Matsuda. He was holding three yellow entry tickets, all of them printed with a fairy (the park's mascot) and a picture of the new carousel. It did indeed have a unicorn.
"Eh, eh? Unicorns...majestic animals of the magic realm! You don't want to miss this!
Just then an ear piercing scream sounded from inside the park as if to prove Matsuda wrong.
The trio went silent for a moment. Then L's cell blipped with a text message from Watari.
'WELL? GO IN. NOW.' It said.
L sighed and plucked a ticket from Matsuda's hand. "Let's go and get this over with. Maybe if something catches fire we can leave early."
"Leave early?! I'm going to stay for as long as I can!" Matsuda said as he started forward into the park, no longer waiting for anyone.
"If you do that then we're leaving you!" Light shouted after him. "AND YOU STILL HAVE MY TICKET!"
Light struggled to get a grip on L's cooler and staggered after Matsuda, grumbling all the way.
L heaved a long sigh and stared at the ticket forlornly. The fairy's smile mocked him.
This better be worth my time...
After falling of the edge of the planet for quite a while I have decided to kick out some more random crud. Just because I miss messing with these guys. And I'm going to make every page count.
