Near's POV:
It was now a week since the triplets had entered Whammy's House. A week since he had given Mello and Matt that little piece of information on the triplet's entrance and L's personal interest in them.
They had moved into the room between his and Mello's. All three of them shared the room and he had yet to hear anything from the walls except for the faint sound of music. Other than that it was too quiet, too perfect for Near's taste.
As much as he loved a good puzzle there was something off in the triplets. They were hiding something, that was clear and barely worth suspicious seeing that almost everybody in Whammy's had an alias but seeing that they had different habits from everybody . . . What was even weirder was the fact that three days after they first joined they were suddenly allowed to work together under special orders from L. Since then their ranking had gone from less than 3% to 95.9% it was strange . . .
There was a piece missing from their puzzle, and it was a race against the successors to find that missing piece.
Mello's POV:
They were annoying the Hello out of him. The three albino freaks were moved into the room between him and the first albino freak. They haven't reacted to any insults he threw at them and seemed very closed up and too "perfect".
"I can't believe them," Mello growled to himself, "Nothing, no reactions, no intel, it's like they're robots that came from no where!"
"Mmm Hmm." Came Matt's unattached reply, knowing that he wasn't really listening.
Mello scowled at his distracted friend, he wondered how it was possible that he still held the third ranking in Whammy's. "I'm going out for a walk." He said curtly as he stalked out of the room.
"Mmm . . . have a good time with that . . ."
~Mini Time Skip :D~
He was walking around Whammy's alone. There wasn't really any destination in mind, he would probably just end up in the library studying to beat the albinos to be at the top. His ear twitched and he stopped suddenly in the empty hallway, the faint sound of a violin came gently to his ears. Without thinking he followed the sound to an abandoned room they used for music. He looked into the room in surprise to see the red albino playing on the violin with (from what he could tell) with his eyes closed a few more seconds into the music Samuel and Zale joined on the piano together.
"Woah, triplets got some major musical talent much?" Matt whispered behind Mello as he watched them.
"I've balanced their skills compared to others and have deduced that if they don't make it as L's successors then they would make a fine life as musicians. At the moment they're playing a popular American song called Secrets by One Republic, an up coming American pop rock band," Near murmured while twisting a some of his hair. Mello felt rage boil inside of him at Near's useless facts.
Somebody cleared their throat and the three of them looked up to see the triplets standing in front of them. "Care to move?" Zale asked with his arms crossed and eyebrow raised.
Samuel sighed and pushed pass them walking away murmuring something under his breath. As they walked by Mello caught the words, "stupid blonde haired idiot justifies the negative use of the word blonde these days . . ."
"What did you say?!" Mello snapped at them.
They froze making Mello's snarl turn into a smirk, "You heard me blondie." came Samuel's unimpressed reply. They continued walking back to their room leaving Matt to watch over a blood thirsty Mello and a calculating Near.
"That's it!" Mello snarled as he ran after them.
Finally he caught up to them before they could walk into their room and grabbed Samuel's shoulders slamming him hard into their door. As he did it his hand brushed Samuel's chest and Mello felt a blush raise to his face as he pinned Samuel to the door slightly confused.
Samuel winced in pain and met Mello's eyes with an angry glare, "Get the fuck off me!"
"Explain yourself dammit!" Mello shouted at him spewing spit on Samuel who turned his face away.
"You know I find it hard to believe that you three at the top rankings at Whammy's seeing that you can't even tell a female from a male," Zale commented, "Now get off my sister you bastard." He snapped. Ace glared at Mello with a raging hatred yet something flickered in his, no her eyes, before returning to a blazing vengeance.
Mello's grip loosened in shock, in which Samuel used the opportunity to open the door and twist inside with her siblings leaving them stunned. "The fuck?" Mello thought.
Matt gave a low whistle, "You know I can see it now . . ."
Mello gave him a glare before adjusting his gaze to Near, "And what about you? What's your excuse?"
Near continued twisting his hair with his figure unfazed by the entire ordeal, "I had my suspicions . . ."
"Bullshit!" Mello screamed at the albino already enraged at the triplets' jab.

July 31, 2002
Matt's POV:
It was now over four years that the triplets had arrived at Whammy's House and taken Mello's place as second. The lack of their presence wasn't noticed by the other members of the house and soon it was like they were ghosts. Of course, over the course of time the three Whammy Boys (Yes I'll be calling Near, Mello, and Matt the Whammy Boys. Problem? No seriously, there a problem with it?!) noticed the growing absence of the triplets in their day. It seemed like they constantly played music in their room during the day yet somehow managed to keep high scores in class without actually attending. From time to time there was a tribal pop sound coming from the walls in which Mello would hit the wall or bang against their doors and the sound would lower it's self. Yet while their physical absence was missed at the same time it seemed like it was growing stronger without them actually being there.
Matt had once asked Mello what he thought of the situation in which Mello replied with a snarl on how there would be less competition. Yet to their surprise at the end of the month the triplets had kept their place in the top 5 and had bumped Matt down to fourth and Mello to third.
It was now lunch period and Mello was now pouring himself into a book on Newton's Laws of Physics for the upcoming "pop-quiz". The canteen fell silent and there was a collective clink of trays to which Matt froze and paused the game. "No, it can't be . . ." He thought, only the tension in the air told him differently. Finally, after what seemed to be hours that Matt looked up.
Sure enough the triplets were there eating, ignoring the entire canteen as they stared at them as well as the angry gaze of Mello. Samuel paused for a moment before continuing eating her broth, "Now, now, Mello. Be a good sport, the rankings mean nothing in the end really."
Before anybody else could react Mello had punched Samuel to the ground and was currently holding her up by the front of her shirt. "Fuck hitting a girl, where the Hell have you been for the past year!"
Samuel looked Mello calmly in the eyes, "Let's see, I believe the saying is, 'An eye for an eye'." As quickly as Mello had punched her she gave him an upper-cut and Mello stumbled backwards.
Matt gave a cautious glance to Ace and Zale who were watching the fight with absolutely no intention of getting up and helping their sibling what so ever. "So-"
Matt was promptly cut off by Mello's and Samuel's shouting.
"What kind of a name is Samuel anyway?!"
"I could ask you the same thing Mello!"
"It's an alias you ass!"
"No shit Sherlock!"
"Mello! Samuel!" Roger's sharp voice suddenly cut through the air and they immediately released each other from their grips.
Mello's POV:
After some lecturing from the greatly annoyed headmaster to the uninterested possible successors they were free to go with only a warning. Going their separate ways Mello soon found himself gravitating towards the music rooms again. Like last time the red albino was playing the violin freely with her eyes closed completely unaware of his presence. Feeling a boiling anger in his stomach he marched into the room and suddenly started to play the drums to a song he unintentionally memorized. Ace stopped and their eyes met again from behind the veil of hair, wordlessly she walked over and picked up an electric guitar and jumped into his song only angering him farther. Their speed increased and they never broke eye contact until-
"Bang!"
Mello froze and Ace went on finishing the song. Mello missed a beat, frozen from the sight of the red haired albino still calmly playing . . . he clutched his drum sticks angrily and stomped out of the room.
"You know you're quiet good."
Mello snapped out of his angry walk and paused outside in the door frame. It was the first time he heard Ace talk the entire time. Her voice was soft and calm, in a way reminding him of Near's only that her's held a flicker of emotion. He didn't reply and went on back to his room, his mind thrown into a whirlwind of confused thoughts.
When he returned to his room he found Matt in an "intense" competition on Wii station with Zale. They were laughing and joking around while still having their eyes fixated to the screen. Mello turned out of the room and passed Near's whose door was open only to see Samuel and Near playing chess.
"What the Hell is happening?"
