Well, here goes, today's chapter! It's a ittle short, but tomorrow's is very long. Thanks to those that reviewed! You made my day!

Once again, thanks to Cursa for being a great beta reader!

I was exhausted. I had been feeling ill all week, and had the wildest cravings imaginable. Fatigue hit me unexpectedly, and I could barely get up from bed.

It was my second week at the hotel. It was about time to contact Wammy's house and tell them what happened. I also needed someone to come pick me up. There was no way I could get to Wammy's house, let alone outside my room, without help.

I took out my new cell phone and dialled the number L made me learn on my first day as his assistant. After a few rings, someone picked up.

"Wammy's House. What can I do for you?"

"Liam… I need help…"

"Tomorrow you leave." Liam said sadly. I nodded, smiling. This was going to be interesting… a completely new adventure.

"I'm going to help the great L." I said proudly as I packed my stuff.

"Not really. You're just going to bring him sweets, buy groceries and probably cook. You won't be solving cases." Matt said. He had taken to hanging out with us sometimes.

"Don't burst my bubble." I said, ruffling his hair playfully. He smiled.

"You're going to have to grow up, Nilla." Liam sounded incredibly sad. "You don't know what kind of situations you might face alongside L. I'm not sure if you can take it."

"Of course I can. I'll do my best." I smiled.

"Be serious for once!" Liam exclaimed. "You're always too happy, too go-lucky! It's fine in the orphanage. We're protected here. But you don't have the slightest idea of who you are, where you come from… you don't even act your age! I don't know what he's thinking, taking you. You might even say something you're not supposed to!"

I turned to him, for the first time showing him my completely serious side.

"If you think I'd do that, you're completely wrong. I may act happy and carefree, but that's not all I am. You are treating me like a fool, and I am not. I might not be as smart as you are, but I'm not stupid. I am going to do my work well, smartly and effectively, and I'm going to make all of you proud. Anything he needs, I'll do for him. There is no way I'm going to put him in harm's way. Still, someone has to be happy. You're way too serious sometimes, Liam."

Liam just stared at me as Matt lay down on my bed taking a Game Boy Advance out of his pocket.

"Are you finished with all the drama?" he asked, winking at me. "Maybe she's too happy for her own good, but you're too serious. She'll learn, she'll do a good job, as long as she doesn't cook."

"Oh, stop that!" I said, blushing. May had tried to teach me to cook, but I was too absent minded for that. I had done it all wrong, and everyone had loathed the food. I was banned from the kitchen from that day on. However, May and I snuck inside and she continued the classes. Before long, I had become a really good cook, although not as good as May. However, there was one thing I could prepare better than her… chocolate cakes. I made one for dessert one day, and everyone thought it was May's. shyly, she shook her head and pointed at me. I confessed I had done it, and from then on, I made a different cake once a week. I was the official pastry chef of the orphanage. Still, Matt loved to tease me with my first failure.

"You know I'm teasing." He said, pulling my hair gently and playfully. I smiled and tried to carry my suitcase off the bed. It was heavy.

"Oh, come on! It's too heavy for you. I'll do it." Matt said, jumping up and moving me out of the way gently. He put the suitcase near the door. "Tomorrow, before you leave, I'll carry your suitcase to the car for you."

"Thanks, Matt." I smiled angelically. "I challenge you to a match in Smash Bros."

"I accept." He bowed in a silly way. "You coming, Liam?"

"I'll watch."

We played for an hour. It was a close battle, but Matt won in the end, as always.

"Good match."

I was going to miss them. They were my best friends at the orphanage.
