The next morning L, Light, and Matsuda got up and dressed groggily. They did not have a good night's sleep, in fact after after that prank they didn't sleep at all. And on top of that, when they went into their small kitchens they discovered that there wasn't any food. ANYWHERE. The three met out in the hallway to talk.
"Hmph, the room comes with a kitchen, but not with food. Where are we going to get something to EAT!?" Light raged, his temper already boiling from the fireworks and lack of sleep. He didn't close his eyes in fear of something else happening.
"Well I guess we had to bring our own food. And since we have none up here and my doughnuts were burnt in the chaos we'll just have to eat out somewhere." L said starting to walk towards the elevator.
Matsuda paled with the suggestion of going downstairs. He didn't want to run a risk of meeting any of the Wammy House Trio. "Um, you know I'm much more comfortable without breakfast. I can last for a long time." He turned around and started back into his room.
Before he could get all the way in L said, "Suit yourself but you know since they got into our rooms last night while the door was locked, they might find it suitable to try it again. And this time you'll be alone up here while Light and I are eating."
"On second thought breakfast is the most important meal of the day and shouldn't be skipped. Just go on ahead while I hide my valuables in the refrigerator."
L and Light both said at the same time, "Refrigerator? Why the refrigerator?"
"Because who would think of looking in an empty fridge for someone's mentionables!? It's foolproof!" Matsuda said walking back into his room to hide his comic books and videogames. After he was finished he pushed the button for the elevator going down.
But before the elevator door could close someone put their foot in. And that someone was Mello. "Hahaha! How was your sleep last night Gramps? Anything unusual happen?" Mello said with a smirk not bothering to look up at Matsuda.
Matsuda just stared straight ahead, not trying to move. It's like with wild animals. If I don't move they can't be hostile towards me, right? Maybe if I don't give any notice that I heard him. HOW MUCH FARTHER UNTIL WE REACH THE BOTTOM? Matsuda thought frantically, not wanting to give Mello the satisfaction of responding.
"Oh. I see what you're trying to do. Ignore me, eh? Well, how long could you ignore me if I decide to-"
Suddenly the elevator jolted to a stop at the bottom floor and Matsuda almost broke his leg trying to get out of it. The only thought in his head was RUN, RUN, RUN!
Idiot, doesn't he know that he can't escape me that easily? Mello thought shaking his head.
By the time Matsuda found the coffee shop L and Light were at, he was out of breath and panting like a dog. It took him a good 15 minutes to catch his breath. "I...just saw...Mello...in elevator...and-"
Light put his cup down and said, "Wait, don't tell me. Mello got in the elevator with you and freaked you out. And then you ran like he was a serial killer. Am I right?"
Matsuda looked sheepishly down at his feet. "Yeah, that's about right. But you would've too! Mind giving me one of those danishes?"
L spoke up just then with a chocolate eclair in his hand. "If you have spent any amount of time with Mello Light you wouldn't be so sure he wasn't a serial killer. I can see why Matsuda's so freaked at the moment. But that's why I wanted you guys here: If the Wammy House Trio want a war, then they're going to get a war."
