~~~~~~~~First Meeting~~~~~~~~~~~

Task Force Headquarters

Soar's eyes opened and she let out a sleepy smile. Though she was alone in bed she still felt the heat he had left behind. She knew he wouldn't lie with her long, for he was a well known insomniac. They had been together for five years but they had met each other at a young age. She was surprised he had contacted her years ago for a case in Los Angeles, but since then, they had been inseparable.

'What time is it?' she thought as she rested in their bed.

She turned her head to the right to see it was 6:00am. She sat up and stretched letting out a yawn. She got up and winced at the cold floor and walked over to the mirror. Her hair was a mess of red hair and she blinked as her mismatched eyes which were watery from just waking up. She smiled at herself and thought.

' Well be thankful you have everything you ever wanted Sora' she said to herself.

She walked over to the restroom and slipped into the shower getting ready for a new day. As she scrubbed herself clean she thought about how her life had changed. She had seen so many people grow up and change.

Mello. Oh what a rowdy child he was. From a young age his obsession with chocolate began with a scavenger hunt on Easter. When he was two, he had found a bar and since then it has practically been his mistress. His love life was one that wasn't so successful. He could never commit to anything which frustrated many young girls and broke a few hearts. She saw him flirt with little girls through the orphanage and his biggest failure was the little brown hair girl. A. She was the little girl that had avoided him like the plague. She knew this only by the fact Matt teased Mello incessantly.

Matt. He was the self proclaimed nymphomaniac of the group. The little red haired boy had to weaknesses: games and women. He was the one that the girls gravitated to. She frowned at the thought of the boy. He was so innocent once, she remembered. He had lost his parents at a very young age, but an age impressionable enough to remember them. At age five he had immediately bonded to Mello because they both had isolated themselves. She had seen him with Ayame and though she was sweet, there was something behind it.

Near. Oh he was the loneliest child she had ever seen. He came as a baby; four months old. He was given to the orphanage as a normal babe, found a mile from Wammys. His parents had skidded off the road and he was the only survivor in a cold winter day. Immediately he was taken in she remembered and she had observed him as the others. He was the most innocent child, sometimes oblivious to his surroundings. Now she saw that he had something missing. She smiled remembering his short lived obsession with some brown haired girl; just because of Mello had he wanted her interest. She never noticed and he begun to curl himself away from the others and Linda was there. He seemed to be in a rut and she noticed his glint would return when he ate his strawberry tarts and pastries. She would always hear him murmur 'Strawberries' as if it reminded him of some memory.

Ayame and Linda. She never really paid attention to the duo. She knew they clung to each other very well and easily. Ayame was more of a frivolous creature, a little nit as it would say. She never really was a deep thinker and to this day she reminded L. She was just meant to be a little trophy wife. Soar had a bad taste in her mouth at her little thought. Linda. She was a piner, for she wanted what she couldn't have. She could never wedge herself in the tight mold the boys had created for themselves and when it came to Near she forced him to change which was obvious he couldn't. She was a little dreamer, and Soar really hopes she would get some rewards for her hard work.

Lastly L. When they had reunited he was the same as ever. He had messy raven hair and dark eyes that seemed to hold so much knowledge. She smiled at the thought of how she had to force herself to look away from his lips. They worked together and slowly became closer. A handshake, a half hug, an accidental cuddle, then a kiss. It all began with that kiss. That kiss brought them a feeling they hadn't ever experienced. She felt her face heat up as she massaged her scalp. She was a little slow on the social way of things, at 28 she was now at her prime. She had everything she wanted, as could be seen with the small sparkly ring on her left hand.

She slipped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her hair. She smiled and dressed quickly knowing that her girls would be waiting for her.

Carys and Angel. Carys was sure one to cause trouble. If Soar searched for spontaneity Carys would give that to her. She was hard headed, ambitious, determined and confident. She was the polar opposite of Angel. Angel could be meek, a pushover but had a quiet determination. She was a shy one, she knew. She could not believe the girls were the closest of friends for they took care of each other. Carys was the older one and though she did act protective it was obvious that Angel kept her grounded. Carys was a dreamer, who couldn't help falling in love with love. Angel being careful never tried to fall, she avoided it in every corner she could. Angel unlike Carys was frightened to fall in love and feared it so much she would feel that love was her destruction. She loved her girls and with a small clip in her hair, Soar was ready to head out to her normal job.

She walked out of the room and she smiled seeing the gang ready. She knew they thought her job was foolish, but she knew L knew that she needed some normalcy in her life. She happily had the nine-to-five job and then at night got to get a summarization of the case and after that she cuddled happily into a wide awake L. She walked over to L and spun his chair to face her.

He looked at her eyes bland.

"I'm leaving now" she said like she did every morning.

"Do return please" he replied.

She leaned over and gave him a peck on the lips and he smiled slightly so only she could see in return.

"Do have fun" he said and spun back to his work.

She rolled her eyes at their routine and walked down the stairs to the street. She walked down main street to her favorite restaurant/pastry shop. She walked in to the smell of fresh bread. She smiled seeing a person covered in flour walking out. The little brunette lifted her head and smiled her hundred watt smile to Soar.

"Morning Love" she said in her soft voice.

"Morning Angel" she said and put her coat in the back. "Where's Car?" she asked.

Angel huffed lifting her back up.

"I don't know she didn't come home last night" she said pouting.

Soar walked over and tugged Angel's signature hat. Angel yelped and fixed it her way.

"Why didn't you tell me, I would have come over and slept over. I know how you hate to sleep in an empty home" Soar said.

Angel looked down and began to cut the bread quietly.

"Soar…I'm seventeen, I need to get used to it. One day Carys will just leave and I will be left alone, I'm preparing myself" she said softly.

Soar could not help but feel her heart strings tug. Angel grew up with Carys and with Carys developing her career and her private life, Angel feared being left behind. Soar sighed and sat on the stool in front of the counter. She rested her head on her hands and looked at Angel with an expectant look. Angel looked up and tilted her head.

"What?" she asked exasperated.

"Well why don't you just go out on a date?" Soar asked.

Angel snorted.

"Are you kidding me?" Angel said.

She walked around not noticing three people entering the room. Soar's head perked up but said nothing.

"What do you expect from me?" Angel said not looking where she was going. She spun around with a teasing face. It was the morning and she believed no one would enter the room. "Just ask the first guy that comes in and say. Hey want to go out with me during lunch? I don't-"

"Sure" The blond boy said with a smirk.

Angel stumbled in surprised and crashed into Mello. Her eyes widened and her face flushed.

"Well sweetheart, when's your lunch time and we can definitely go out" Mello said with a smirk still implanted.

Matt chuckled and walked in. He inspected the room and his eyes landed on Soar who waved.

"Well, hello there Red" he said and tugged Near behind him.

Near looked at Mello who had not let go of poor Angel. His eyes flashed some memory he had long forgotten.

Flashback:

Near was staring longingly at the pretty girl with brown hair. He believed she was an acceptable person, even though she was of the opposite sex. He believed that later when the dreaded puberty appeared he would become entranced. Sadly for him, he was invisible towards her eyes. She only had eyes for idiotic Mello. She had almost talked to him, he felt it, but before she said anything Mello showed up and she was enraptured. He never even learned her name. One thing that stayed in his memory was that she smiled and she smelled liked strawberries.

End Flashback:

'Strawberries' he thought.

He sat down clumsily and looked at all the sweets.

Angel had managed to shimmy herself from Mello and walked away as if nothing had happened. Mello simply wiped off the flour from his vest and sat next to Near. Angel tugged her hair back to her hat and she let out a polite smile , ignoring her still flushed cheeks.

"Welcome to-" she began.

"Sorry I'm late!" Carys screeched walking in the shop.

She had not seem the boys but Angel and Soar noticed that in her face, she showed nothing but glee.

"Oh my god you guys. You won't believe it" she said cheerily. "I totally had the most amazing date! He was so romantic and then when we got to his-" Angel covered Carys mouth and pulled her to the back.

She popped her head out and smiled nervously to the three confused but amused boys.

"Do excuse us" she said softly and slid her head back in. Soar followed but before she left she turned and said .

"You boys don't know me here" she said "Do look around….Angel…..she's a great pastry maker"

The boys nodded and she walked to the back. Carys fought the whole way in frustration and when Angel didn't take off her hand she licked it. Angel squeaked and Carys gagged.

"Oh god you taste like flour" Cary said.

"Ew" Angel wiped her hand on her apron. "Of course I do, I've been baking!" She squeaked.

Soar viewed the scene with amusement but had to be careful since they could start a row, and their rows would definitely be a war zone.

"Why you squirt I'll-" Carys began.

"Car!" Soar interrupted " How was your date with Matsuda?"

Carys quickly forgot her little dispute and she squealed.

"Yes, oh god Soar……I lost it." She said.

Angel crashed into Soar and they stared at themselves in shock. They looked at each other wide eyed and then they turned to her.

"Are…..are you sure?" Angel squeaked.

Soar could not help but snort and Carys huffed.

"Yes, I went through the whole process Lennon" she said.

Angel blushed and tugged her hair as a nervous twitch along with her lip biting.

"Congratulations!" Soar said and hugged her.

She could not help but flashback to her first time and she blushed. Angel was the one out of the loop. She bit her lip and coughed slightly.

"How….how was it?" She asked.

"Great" Carys said softly.

"No!" she said and both Carys and Soar looked at her. She blushed and looked down. "I mean……how does it…..it f-feel"

Carys and Soar had a looked of understanding and Carys sat on a chair. Angel looked at her curiously and rolled her eyes as Carys patted her knee. Angel walked over and huffed sitting there as if they were children all over again.

"Well it's ……it's weird" she said and Angel looked at her curiously. "At first both of us were nervous but then we began to do little things, kisses and touches and crap like that" Cary said

Angel blushed and nodded.

"Then though came the good part" Carys continued "He was totally ready and when he…you know it hurt so much" she said "But then it was all forgotten and let the pleasure begin"

Angel giggled and she caused the others to laugh.

"We got to talk about this later" Soar said "Your place I presume"

Both Carys and Angel nodded.

"Girls night?" Carys said.

They all giggled and walked out trying to act professional. Matt's eyes went straight to Carys who had a smirk matching his own. His eyes slowly trailed down her figure and when he looked back to her face he saw a glare. He chuckled and looked at his two other friends.

He noticed Near's eyes were on Angel, who still had the flush on her face. Matt doubted it was because of Mello and her, but of something that went on inside. His mind wandered slightly at the thought of yuri crossing his mind.

Mello's eyes were on the brunette who had landed on him. She was obviously not used to the opposite sex, for her reaction and he just would love to corrupt.

"As I was saying" Angel said cutting into his thoughts. "Welcome to A Little Piece of Heaven. I'm Angel, these are my friends Carys and Soar" she said smiling brightly.

"Mello" he said introducing himself.

"Nathan" Near said using his alias.

"Matt" Matt obviously said.

Soar nodded at their direction and Matt could not help his smirk falter as Carys wasn't as polite to him. Angel smiled but he noticed she had no interest at all to him. He mentally shrugged thinking that she wasn't his type.

"We're here because Matt here's getting married" Mello said.

He turned to Angel.

"So sugar, why not show us what your sweet hands created hm? I would be honored if your little hands would be around m-" Mello was interrupted.

"We were interested in having your pastries, or possibly a cake for his wedding" Near finished .

Angel nodded not getting Mello's innuendo.

"But of course" she said. "Girls bring let's get the samples"

As the plates were being served the trio were met by the girls.

"Matty!" Ayame squealed and walked to him hugging him from behind.

Angel and Carys looked at each other and scrunched up their noses in annoyance. Soar rolled her eyes and served the other usual customers. Angel's eyes noticed a auburn haired girl walking in. She was tall and lean and walked straight to the boy that had the amazing grey eyes Angel's own eyes lingered on. She looked away from the couple and put a cake to hide her embarrassment.

'Of course your eyes go to the taken one' she thought.

"Please sit, I'll…I'll serve you some of our flavors" she said and sliced the cake to five pieces.

The girls sat opposite of the boys and began to try one by one. After about an hour of annoying comments from the girls they had decided.

"You guys are simply amazing!" Ayame said purring at the taste of the chocolate cake.

She looked around the room.

"Who designed this place?" She asked out of the blue.

The younger girls raised their hands.

"Well it's divine" Linda said. "Good style"

The guys quietly ate their cake ignoring the girl's comments completely.

"I know!" she said "Why don't you girls become my wedding planners" she said happily.

Carys looked shocked and wrinkled her nose at the thought.

"I'm sorry" Angel said slightly frightened at denying her. "But this café is our income we can't close it for months of planning" she said "It can't be done"

"It's not months, it's a month!" Ayame said.

"We can't just close it for no reason" Carys added.

"How much do you get monthly?" she asked.

"15,000" Angel Soar and Carys replied simultaneously.

"We'll pay double and maybe you can rebuild here or hire more people" Ayame said.

Matt began to chock on his coffee cake and looked at her incredulously.

"What?!" he said "No, no, no, no ,no!"

"Yes, I'll pay it from the wedding fund" she said proudly.

Matt sighed and ate the cake.

"You guys better bring us these stuff daily too" He added.

Angel nodded quickly.

"Fine then we agree" Carys said.

Ayame and Linda hugged and Angel rubbed her arm uncomfortably. They looked at each other and wondered. Was 30,000 worth it? It seemed it didn't seem so.
