~~~~Gee's POV~~~
When I woke up, I finally felt like I was myself again. Then the events of last night hit me. L had asked me to help out with his case. I sprang out of bed and looked for the letter to make sure it wasn't a crazy dream. Phew. Everything was there. I probably would've squealed, I was so excited about a new case and the prospect of finding about at least some of his background(fine, I was excited about seeing him too),but I didn't.
Instead, I took a shower, brushed my hair, and went down for breakfast. I threw some bread in the toaster. While the toast cooked, I started speculating about L's family. What did they look like? How many of them were there? Were they actually related to him?
I was startled out of my daydreaming when the toaster let off its loud "ding!". I ate my toast dry and washed it down with water, then started to make a mental list of things to pack. Let's see...toiletries, hairbrush, a couple of skirts, tops, sneakers...and a couple of my stuffed wolves, of course. With that taken care of, I ran out to my car and jumped in. I had to get a bigger suitcase. The only traveling bag I had was for visiting my family, and it was too small for such a long trip.
Plus, I'd stop by the Starbucks. I wanted to treat myself to a hot chocolate in celebration of a new case-and as much as I loathe to admit it-seeing L I walked in, I saw Masami at the counter. When she spotted me, she grinned brightly and waved her arms over her head.
"Hi Gee! Nice to see you!" Masami said.
"Nice to see you too." I said with a laugh. I must've sounded really happy because she asked,
"Gee, you sound even more cheerful than usual. What's going on?" Wow, she was sharp when it came to matters like this. I chose my words carefully-I couldn't let her know that I was working with L.
"Well, I met a guy named Ryuuga when I was working on the Kasagi killer case, and he invited me to his house in England to see his family."
"Omigosh, that is so amazing! Does he want you to live with him?"
"No, not until he gets a place of his own."
"Wow, Gee, I'm so happy for you! I really hope this one works out."
"I know, and you know what? I think this is going to really work. I can feel it." By the time I stopped talking, there was a queue behind me. Seeing this, Masami snapped into business mode.
"So, what can I get for you today?"
"You know, the usual. Hazelnut hot chocolate."
"Coming right up!" I got my hot chocolate, and Masami insisted that I have it for free. I swear, I had a best friend with a heart of gold. I took a sip. Mmm, so good. Extra generous on the whipped cream, even more than usual. Must be on my account of having a boyfriend.
I put the cup in my car's cup holder and drove to the mall. After walking around, I finally found a travel accessory store. I picked out a red suitcase, the type with wheels. Then I picked out one of those neck pillows. I probably wouldn't need it, seeing as it was first class, but hey, it never hurt to be prepared.
I then stopped for a moment in front of a clothing store-would I need more clothes than what I had? I quickly dismissed the thought, seeing as I probably had enough clothes anyway, and if I didn't-well, I doubted L would deny me the privilege of using his washing machine. I went to the checkout counter and paid for everything. Then I hopped in my car and drove back home.
~~~~~Kagami's POV~~~~~
I laughed as I looked back on today's events. Absolutely hilarious. Tom and I stole Matt's DS when he was asleep. He practically turned his room upside down looking for it, then when he discovered we had been playing it right in front of him for the past 3 hours... the look on his face was freaking priceless.
The guy could definitely curse when he wanted to. I probably needed to wash out my ears just from the sheer amount of swears he yelled at us. Somehow we had survived.
Now we were in my room, drawing perfect replicas of Internet memes...and putting my brothers in them. Hey, we had amazing drawing skills. No use in letting them go to waste.
Today my personal favorite was Tom's Matt demotivator. It said: "Chaotic Neutral: Might save your life, might steal your car." We actually never said anything during these drawing sessions, because there was always a chance someone might be listening to our bitching. We had found that one out the hard way. So I scribbled a comment underneath.
"Perfect."Tom grinned and scribbled back.
"I know, I'm so talented."I tutted.
"If your head gets any bigger, It won't fit through the door." I wrote.
"You know, I just realized." He scrawled underneath.
"What?"
"Mello's chocolate never melts in his pocket. It's always perfectly intact."
"...only one logical conclusion."
"What's that?"
"Magical sparkling powers of blondcestuality." At this, he started laughing and didn't stop for 3 minutes straight. I had met a similar outcome, and we ended up sprawled on the floor gasping for breath.
Suddenly, Mello walked in. We made our sketchbooks disappear, and not a second too soon.
"You two brats having a psycho attack or something? I heard your maniacal laughter all the way from my room." Big mistake. We took one look at him, and we doubled over laughing again.
"Oh..god...haha...can't...breathe..." I managed to choke out.
"...me...haha...too...hurts...to breathe..." Tom hacked.
"What's so funny?" Near asked, walking shrugged.
"Beats me. The little psychos took one look at me and started practically choking."
"Hmm." he replied. By then, we had managed to regain some of our composure, and we were sitting up, trying to breathe. I would blame my teenage mind for laughing at such a little thing.
"What were you two laughing at?" Mello asked.
"You don't wanna know." I replied.
"They were probably discussing their evil plans for world domination. Let them be." Near remarked drily.I chuckled. That was definitely memorable.
But then I remembered I had more pressing matters at hand, mainly the issue of L's "associate" coming over. I had heard her being discussed at the dinner table once or twice. She sounded okay, but I would need more information to reach a conclusion.
And another thing- I hoped I could keep my disguise up. It took quite a bit of magic to make my wings disappear unless I took a potion that made me human for a temporary amount of time. I didn't want to do that, It was so uncomfortable. Mainly because our bones are hollow while human ones are solid and heavy. I could only hope L would solve the case quickly. With that happy thought, I snuggled up and went to sleep.
