Hey! I don know how to introduce this chapter…so just read on?

"BAKA BAKA BAKA!!" I yelled at Bekah, after all, she just bet our money on Kaname. "Do you seriously think Kaname can beat Hunny!? Are the stupidest of all stupids? Hunny can eat way more cakes than Kaname ever could.

"But…but he is so tiny. He is just a little Hunny." Bekah replied, but she obviously didn't see enough episodes of Host Club to realize…Hunny is a MACHINE.

DING! Crap, the race started before I could withdraw the bet. Kaname is seriously taking the time to put the napkin on his lap? "You little sissy! Hurry up and shove 23 cakes into your tiny mouth so we can get our money!" My voice was oddly loud and carried all the way to Lani. Ok, I guess that isn't too far, for Lani was sitting right beside me. Laughing…at least she was sober.

"I cant believe you chose Kaname! Kaname…over Hunny? In an eating contest. Tee hee. Too Funny!" Lani had to keep taking deep breaths as it seemed she had wasted all her oxygen on laughing.

"See that hole over there? Go jump in it!" I said, actually rather loud.

"I don't want to jump into a hole. I might get trapped down there. Actually, I am more afraid of you coming and throwing the dirt on top of me." Lani was completely serious…and I found that funny.

"Oh, but you don't have to worry about that." I managed to get this out between chuckles. Then my face turned to an extremely terrifying expression when I came to my senses. "I was talking to Bekah…"

I found that Bekah runs even faster when I squint my eyes a tear her body apart with my mind. That was my last 60 bucks… She WILL reimburse me. Even if it costs her life…

I glanced back towards Kaname and Hunny. Hunny's face was quite red, but I was only a little concerned until I saw a cake STILL on his plate.

"Another cavity!" I heard someone yell. If Hunny is disqualified, then Kaname will win by default!

"A replacement for our disqualified participant has blessed us with his convenient arrival!" I heard an announcer say this through the speaker…why cant they just say "We have a replacement."??

"I wonder who it is!" Lani said, growing oddly excited.

"Wanna know what would be hilarious? If the replacement was Zero! They would get so competitive… as if those cakes were Yuuki herself." Oh goodness… imagining Zero and Kaname eating cakes as fast as they can? Like I said…hilarious.

"That is a weird way to put it. If the cakes were "Yuuki" then, technically, they would be racing to see who can eat more of "Yuuki"."

"What an odd way of perceiving it…" I thought for a moment then decided on a response. "But then Zero would obviously win! He already has a head start, after all, he has been "eating" for a while now…"

"Ok, I am done. This conversation is getting confusing, Lets talk about…L!"

"Well, L has lots of hair…and uh…he is really cool…and…." It is awkward when you have to talk about someone forcefully, ya know?

"No…L. HE IS THE REPLACEMENT!! I should have known….Well, he will obviously win." Lani being oh so confident in one of her many idols. I must say, I accompany her in this fandom.

"Well, actually…he might use this chance to slowly enjoy devouring the sweets. You know he is unpredictable." Nyee Hee. I hope I am right, because then I can hold it against this FanGirl sitting next to me.

L took his seat across the table from Kaname. He picked up something that looked invisible. I heard L's words, though they were quiet. They would been inaudible if he didn't have a microphone… "There was a hair on this cake. It looks like yours." He held his hand out apparently pinching the hair between his fingers. "Here. It belongs to you after all."

"Uh…yes." Kaname actually took the hair. He dropped it on to the floor afterwards, but still- its like, Ok, thanks for giving me my hair back. I was looking for that specific strand…

In the mean time, Bekah came back. She had come upon an old medieval shop and bought a shield. It was conveniently placed between us. For I too had come across that shop and bought a sword. I was ready to drive her through with it, until I saw someone who goes by the name of Near.

"Near! Look! L is alive!" Lani this time…

"I know. His 'death' was for the sake of the investigation. Regretfully, Mello and Matt are also living." WHAT THE HELL?? Near doesn't talk! What is this crap? Maybe his one true lover is Lani after all.

"How the hell do you fake deaths like that!?" We covered L's death in the last chappy. I think most are aware that L is living…wait, Lani YOU WERE IN THE LAST CHAPTER!! Maybe you shouldn't get drunk next time with Bunny, you might miss out on this valuable information. Maybe I should tell her this…thinks of Lani's reaction… I will just have to say no to that idea….

"You put other people in their place. People that simply look like them." Heh…forgot about the conversation thanks to my rambling. What did Lani ask again?

"Very clever and mischievous." Don't applaud his tactics Lani! Stupid!

"No. It is not. It is simple." Wow Near. Thank you for ignoring the opinion and replacing it with yours which you expect everyone to refer to as a fact! Ok ok…I don't exactly like Near. If Lani was in my thoughts right now…she might say something like SHUT UP! Actually, she would steal my hand and write I love Kyo Sohma all over it. Oh the lies. THE LIES!! Gosh Lani just speak your mind…( You thought you could follow my train of thoughts? Nope.)

"That Near character. He is more than just an ugly fish. He is an ugly…platypus. One that has practically while hair too. What would you consider that color anyway? Silver? White? Off-white thanks to the non-use of shampoo?" Bekah managed to whisper all of this into my ear before Lani caught her.

"What are you saying about Near!?" I took this chance, with Bekah unsuspecting, to poke her with the sword. It was collapsible.

"Useless toy!" These words are those that were spoken my me. "Here. You take this. I am sure you could find a usage for it."

Near took the sword then took the open seat next to Lani. Her face lit up.

Laughter came from the seat directly behind me. "Near is still playing with toys! I should have known." This man was Mello. A girl sat on his lap wearing the name tag (she decided she wanted everyone to know who she was) Kathy. (Refer to 'Something so simple, its complicated' by TamariKolulu )I guess Matt and Mello aren't…well...THERE for each other after all. At least that was I thought before Matt put his arm around Mello. (Not taking his eyes of his DS)

"Don't stray too far!" Matt told Mello with a huge smile on his face.

"Go find me some chocolate."

"But I am almost to the nineteenth level!"

"Go!"

"Ok, I'm going." Matt gently placed his DS is a specially made cushion then ran off to the concessions.

Several hours later, and after playing (and losing) several games of rock, paper, scissors, I went to get Mello's chocolate…as Matty had not yet returned. I found many a chocolate bar rather quickly, so I made my way back to my beloved…ERR-Mello, and (heh…heh?) handed him HIS beloved. The stupid chocolate. (NO! Don't tell Mello I said that about his one true love!)

"Now go find Matt." Not even thank you? I just spent the rest of Bekah's money for a non-thank you?

"What? No! I just got back, and I want to make fun of Near." (If Lani doesn't 'defend' the little genius.)

"Go! Matt cant be doing too well! He left his DS here!"

"Smmshhmssh (mumble mumble)and whose fault was that? Smmmhshh (mumble mumble)… And I am not going!"

"I gave you roses!"

"Ok, ok Im going…" Why do I crumble under those words….

After endless hours of searching all over Simpson's Stadium, I finally found Matt.

"Mattyyyyy!! What are you doing in Noise Land and Video Arcade?" As soon as I finished my sentence (errheerrrmm ARCADE) I realized the answer to my question.

"Giving out free hugs! For fourteen dollars that is…." Matty flashed me the cutest smile…I just couldn't resist. I handed him the fourteen dollars and received a hug. Oh where did the fourteen dollars come from? Well, as scrawny lookin' kid happened to be walking by…and well…heh heh? (He makes later, random appearances as 'Yam Head")

Lani's POV

Ah. The moment is perfect. Sitting next to Near, ignoring Bekah, Not babysitting Tori, and trying to steal Mello's chocolate. (No success) Oh! I am doing all this while watching L kick BUTT (What the hell? What is up with Tori writing K+ chapters?) in a cake eating contest. If only Matty were here….

Oh! Who is this!? (Not Matty…sad face) But Yuuki Cross!? Heh Heh coming to cheer her stupid lover on?

"If I die tonight… your lover is Kira." L said to Yuuki. "Hmm? What is this…?"

"What!? Kaname-senpai isn't… A MURDERER!? Excluding the whole vampire thing, and don't mind any Shizuka incidents…" (Stop rambling…woman!)

"Hmm. Another hair…." L lifted another stand of her from a cupcake.

Kyaa! Hope you enjoyed. Had the best time writing it. Hope ya like it Lani-chan! Merry Mello to all!
