Hey! Another upload! I feel like I'm on a roll here! Enjoy & review please!

November of 1999

Alva and Matt followed Mello as he walked down the hall, with an angry speed powering him. The three of them were just watching cartoons and Near came in. Mello, of course, couldn't stand his presence. Mello decided to make a few snide comments, and of course, Near responded. He wasn't being particularly rude, but Mello was pissed beyond recognition anyway.

"Mello, wait up!" Matt yelled, a bit slow because once again, he couldn't keep his eyes off his game. Alva just grabbed Matt's sleeve, pulling him along, because all three of them knew Mello wasn't slowing down anytime soon.

Eventually, they came to the terrace outside. Mello was pacing back and forth, mumbling things that a 6-year-old shouldn't even know. Alva walked over to Mello, grabbing his arm. She had a defiant look on her face. "Mello…it really wasn't that bad!" she said. He just stopped pacing, same defiant look on his own face. He sighed and put his hand in his pockets.

"I hate that twit Near…" he mumbled. Alva sighed.

Matt just looked at them and raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? You two really need to realize-"

Both children knew where Matt was going with this, and glared daggers at the brunette. "Shut up!"
