I have given up on my four reviews thing. If I want to write, goddamnit I'm going to write! Thanks to all my fans; Ami Dylan(Pen name Crazy Manga Girl), Cami (Cullen-Uchihalover), Psycotic Rabid Fangirl, CaeliaDanan, Blackghostflower016, Shishishishi444, and of course randomgirl89. Thanks a bunch randomgirl89, for the suggestion about the anonymous reviews; I had no idea you could block them. And I hope you all enjoy and remember to review :)

Wow. I could teach a course in rambling.

I've been home all day so I'm uber bored. I accidentally scraped myself with my thumb nail trying to fix my knee-high socks. So now I has a big-ass band-aid on it. My mom laughs when I limp past XD

Oh, and sorry if Nia had OOC-ness. Or has. Or is just totally OOC. I try CX

Forgetting

Nia curled a white hair around his finger as he watched the sunset apathetically on one of his monitors. I couldn't tell her. Why not? 'Cause I'm just a nerd with a knack for solving crimes, and she's a gorgeous model with loud idiosyncrasies. How could it ever work out? It couldn't. And that's that.

And on top of that, he could barely concentrate on his case with her around! No, she was such an aberration that he didn't even know what day it was. Maybe he's take a walk to clear his head. Yes, that would work out nicely.

"Oyasuminasai!!!" Misa yelled to the house, and skipped off towards her room in her pajamas. "Oyasumi, Nia-kun," she said, passing him with a wink.

He almost passed out

After his almost-fainting spell, Nia decided to take himself up on his offer for that walk. (A/N: If that was confusing, he went on a walk, okay? XD) The night was lit up by a full moon. Not that it mattered. With all the city lights, you could only see the brightest of stars, and they went unnoticed in the buzz of Saturday night.

Stars...People take them for granted. Like Raito and Misa...He thought, staring at the little specks of fire. I would appreciate her like she deserves...

He sighed, and stared at the twinkling polka-dot in the navy twilight. Then he closed his eyes, and did something that surprised himself.

"Star light, star bright..." Oh, Kami-san. Not this. This childish rhyme isn't going to get me anywhere! I'm was nineteen, not nine! But there's no stopping it now...

"First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight." He furrowed his brow, thinking of what, specifically, it was that he wanted.

"I wish for an excuse to go out with Misa." He waited for a couple of minutes, but nothing happened. He sighed, and kept walking, murmuring expostulation directed at his idiocy. Then he tripped. Perfect...

He rose, dusting his pajamas off, and looked to see what he slid on. Tickets...He lifted them to inspect them further.

Ticket to a fair? Tomorrow...

And Bingo was his name-o.

He was up for a long time, thinking of how to ask.

"Hey, Misa, I love you, so want to go to this fair I've never heard of?" That wouldn't go over too well.

Finally he decided to wing it, and got some sleep.

Nia rose at 6, as always. No matter how little sleep he got, it was always at 6. It was a curse.

"Ohayo, Nia-kun!!" Misa squealed loudly when he walked into the kitchen. It was a daily routine now; they ate their meals together. They ate silently for a while. It wasn't awkward, just quiet, which is unusual for Misa.

"Misa-chan?" he asked, the honorific strange and informal on his tongue.

"Hai?" she responded, seeming pleased at the informality.

"Do you want to go to the fair with me?" he finally said, deciding it was best to be blunt and get it over with. Her satisfied grin made him blush indignantly. "I mean, if you can. I-I just found two tickets a-and wondered..." he trailed off, staring at his plate. There was silence. I've made a fool of myself...

He felt her breath in his ear suddenly, and he flushed.

"Misa'll get ready..." she breathed, and was gone.

For the second time in less than twenty-four hours, he thought he was going to pass out.

Nia shifted uncomfortable in the designer clothes Misa had forced him into.

"Misa will NOT be seen with a BOZU in pajamas!" she'd protested, and he had to comply. She had said yes, after all.

So there he stood, at the biggest fair, the only fair he'd ever seen, in uncomfortable clothes with the girl of his dreams. Today would either, a) be a dream come true, ending with Misa madly in love with him OR a slightly less pleasant b) be a total hell-fest, with him puking on a roller coaster and Misa yelling that she never wanted to see him again.

It was a fifty-fifty, win/lose situation. He'd never been good at luck or chance, but he'd gotten this far into it. Why quit now?

Misa grabbed his hand suddenly, and tugged him over to a mirror house, pulling him up the stairs and rushing in without giving him a chance to gather his bearings.

He sighed and ran in after her, running right into a mirror. Smooth. He heard Misa giggle from somewhere - but where, goddamn it?! He walked slowly, cautiously towards the giggle, and ended up bumping into countless reflections before finally catching up to her. She held his hand, guiding him out, unable to suppress her amusement at his inability to walk through a mirrored room alone.

Next was the Ferris Wheel (of doom). Nia stared up at it, arguing with his fear of heights. Honestly, now was not a time to be scared. You know what they say. Beggars can't be choosers.

He felt like TPing whoever came up with that lame expression's house as he stepped into a heart-shaped container for two. The machine jerked and squeaked to a start. He squeezed Misa's hand; it was all he could do not to clamp his eyes shut. His mouth was tilted downward in a frown that resembled a criminal's that just received the death sentence.

Misa leaned her head on his shoulder, supplying him with a new set of worries. He, after much thought, wrapped an arm around her and hoped to Kami-san he wasn't as stiff as he felt he was.

He stared at her blue-green eyes, and remembered something Mello had once told him.

"Okay, so you've got her at the movies, right? She lays her head on your shoulder. You can lean in, smell her shampoo, and then tilt her head a bit with your hand and WHAM! You've gone in for the kill, my friend!" he had explained with many unnecessary hand motions. "The kill", of course meaning the kiss.

Nia felt his head pound like a rock again. Well, he may as well try...He turned his head, smelling her apple-y shampoo, and lightly touched her chin lightly with his fingertips-

SQUEEEEEAL. The Ferris Wheel jerked to a stop, and their door opened for them to exit. Nia decided karma should go to hell.

"Look, Nia-kun!" Misa practically screamed. "WATER-GUN GAMES!!" She raced through the crowd, dragging him along. She sat, and Nia payed the man for a round for two. He sat, wondering if he even had "Aim" in his system at all. Some pop song was playing over head, corny but sweet in a girly kind of way.

"A figure out that figurative Of Figures A and B
Images I imagined with pretty imagery (means you and me)

(You and me)We could be made for this
(Wait and see)We might be made for this
(You and me)We could be made for this
Wait and see
(oh) Just wait and see

It's so far away but I've planned a date
And that's at least a start to get inside your heart
It might be you and me (oh) we could be a team
It might be you and me just wait and see (oh)"

Finally there were enough people to play. Nia did, in fact, have excellent aim, and won quickly. Misa smiled at him, and he asked her what she wanted. She scrunched her mouth up.

"Um..." she finally pointed at a little koala bear stuffed animal. The man took it down, and Misa smiled.

"Arigato, Nia-kun!" He nodded, unable to hold a smile back. She was adorable!

The day ended without any sparks flying, but hey, hell's flames didn't erupt and that was a good day in his book. They approached the door, and as he was putting his key back him his pocket she kissed him softly. He leaned in, but she pulled away, and ran off to her room, giggling.

This time, he did pass out.

He awoke, flustered, at 11 at night. He glanced at his calendar, and immediately went into a state of panic.

Today was the twenty-eighth.

The day he was supposed to meet Raito/L.../Kira.

That was sooo long! I hope you enjoyed :)

Ayane's quick-translation corner!

Honorifics

For those of you unaware, in Japan they are quite respectful, and after names they use honorifics. This may not make sense, so I'll break it down for you...

-san - The most common honorific, this is equivalent to Ms., Mrs., or Mr. It is an all-purpose honorific, to be used in a ny situation when politeness is required.

-chan - This is used to express endearment, mostly towards girls. It is also used for little boys, pets, and even among lovers. It gives a sense of childish cuteness.

-kun - this suffix is used at the end of boys' names to show endearment, and familiarity. It is also used with men among friends, or with someone younger/of a lower station

-sama - One level higher than "san", used to display great respect

-dono - confers utmost respect. Comes from "tono" meaning "Lord" (Not a God Lord, the other one.)

Bozu - An informal way to refer to a boy, meaning "squirt", or "kid".

Disclaimer: The honorifics can be found in any Del Rey manga books. I need to enslave Ohba and Obata so I can own Death Note :3 Also, that song was Figures A&B by HelloGoodbye.
