"After this commercial break!" Berry yelled from outside of the curtain.

"Great job guys," Berry told all of the bachelors as we exited out of our cubicles towards backstage. I absentmindedly followed Mello towards the vending machines.

"Hey Matt, do you have a dollar I could borrow?" Mello asked as he practically drooled at the sight of the chocolate bars inside of the machine.

I grunted a response, my eyes not leaving the DS screen as I pulled out a dollar from my pocket, handing it to Mello.

"Hey guys," Berry chirped from behind us.

"Hey," I answered, as Mello was too distracted in trying to put the dollar inside the vending machine.

"I hate these things! No matter how many times I try to flatten out the fucking dollar bill, the machine just pops it out!" Mello yelled, banging on the vending machine.

"Deep breathes Mello. Deep breathes," I muttered.

"The trick is to put in the dollar then start banging on the machine on its side," Berry said as she took the dollar from Mello, slipping it into the machine as her fists started hitting the machine's side. Soon I could hear the clatter of a chocolate bar falling and Mello retrieving it.

"How did you know how to do that?" Mello asked, opening the chocolate bar.

Berry shrugged. "Hosts do crave chocolate too you know."

Mello just squinted a bit at Berry as she slipped another dollar into the machine and repeated the noisy process, as she retrieved a chocolate bar herself.

"Oh, by the way, great job so far guys. You're doing great," Berry acknowledged, snapping the chocolate between her teeth.

I really think she could just be Mello's sister. Mello's calm sister…

Mello just grunted while I mumbled a thank you.

"Especially you Mattie," Berry said, giving me a side hug.

I stiffened at the hug, but allowed it as my eyes didn't waver from the game.

"Hey, Berry, we need you in makeup," an assistant said, running up to Berry.

"Thanks, Fred," Berry smiled at the guy as she walked away before he turned to us. "Hey, guys I need you to be inside your little cubicle thingys in five minutes okay?"

Mello and I nodded as we walked towards the stage again.

"Looks like someone was getting cozy with the host," Mello smirked.

"No, she hugged me," I answered. "Why? Jealous that your chocolate buddy didn't give you a hug?"

"Shut up," Mello grumbled as we both walked towards our separate cubicles. But I didn't fail to notice a super light pink hue grace his face before he entered his cubicle and me to mine.

"Take that Yoshi! Told you that you can't throw your fucking red shells at me!" I yelled at the DS screen.

"Matt! Shut up! I want to hear the results!" Mello yelled through the wall from my left.

I sighed and reached into my pocket to retrieve my handy dandy: lint. Wait, what happened to my cigarettes? I dug around my pocket even more for my stress relievers.

Where did I put them?

Suddenly I felt a little box in my pocket.

Phew. I thought I almost lost it. I pulled out the box and when I looked down, I saw that it wasn't my cigarettes.

It was a little box of Tic Tacs and on it was a little note, written in bubbly writing.

Trust me, you'll need this later

-Berry

I sighed. Damn. I guess I could just use these.

I popped two Tic Tacs into my mouth.

Hmm…minty.

"Welcome back guys and gals! Here are the results for [R/N]!" Berry yelled from the other side of the curtain.

"Oh, [R/N], I think you'll have fun with this red head gamer. Mattie-kun! Can you please get out here?" Berry sang as the curtain was drawn in front of me.

I sighed and exited the cubicle as the fan girls in the audience yelled.

"I love you MATT!"

"WILL YOU MARRY ME AND LIVE A HAPPY LIFE WITH ME?"

"I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!"

Okay, now these girls are really starting to creep me out…

"Hey Matt! Let's get this date on the road. Since you answered, you would take a road trip, we'll let you but you're going to have a destination this time: the beach!" Berry yelled as she tossed me some car keys and a bag.

"Have fun!" Berry sang as she forced me and [R/N] out of the studio and into a parking lot.

I clicked the keys to see which car we were going to drive in.

Beep

I looked around and saw a 1973 Dodge Dart in a cherry red color. My mouth practically drooled at the sight of the beautiful vintage car in its classic condition.

"So are we going to get in or what?" [R/N] asked, snapping me out of my day dream.

I nodded sheepishly and unlocked the car as we both got in and I tossed the bag in the back seat as I drove out of the studio parking lot towards the nearest beach.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Oh, Mello," I said as the blonde exited from behind the curtain as the rest of the bachelor's followed suit, "give this to Matt for me okay?" I said, tossing him a cigarette box.

"How do you have Matt's cigarettes?" Mello asked as he caught the box.

"Hugs aren't always what they seem," I trailed off as I started fiddling with some controls that brought down a large screen.

"So you didn't hug Matt because you liked him?" Mello glared suspiciously.

"No. Besides, I like someone else," I admitted, a slight blush came to my cheeks.

"Who?"

"I can't say. I don't know if he likes me back or not," I replied half-heartedly as I started flipping through some channels before seeing the image of Matt and [R/N] stopping at the beach.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"We're here!" [R/N] squealed as she practically jumped out of the car, skipping all the way down to the beach.

I removed my shaggy vest and threw it in the back seat as I grabbed the bag from the back.

I wonder what's in here…

I looked inside the bag and saw some food, sunscreen, sunglasses, and were those bathing suits?

Berry thought of everything didn't she?

"What's in the bag, Matt?" [R/N] asked me as she walked back to me and peered over my shoulder into the bag.

"Oh! Now we could go swimming!" [R/N] said, her eyes lighting up cutely.

"So why don't we first swim then eat?" I asked as I tossed [R/N] her bathing suit.

[R/N] nodded as she went to go change. I followed after her to change also.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

I stepped out of the booth wearing a t-shirt and the dark green swimming shorts that Berry put in the bag. I dug around even more for the sunglasses I saw in there as I replaced my goggles with the dark shades.

My green eyes scanned around for [R/N], until I spotted her talking with a muscle-y lifeguard.

Something in me felt weird…was it, jealousy? Well, whatever it was, I just didn't like the way the lifeguard was looking at [R/N]. Like he was a hungry shark and she was a bloody, juicy piece of meat.

I strolled quickly yet casually over to the chatty pair.

"So after my shift is done, what do you say that we go get some drinks or something?"

"Well, I actually am on a date right now…"

"I don't see your date, so he wouldn't mind if I stole you away…"

"Actually, I do mind," I cut in, staring down the guy from behind my sunglasses. Well, actually, staring up at the guy because he was taller than I was…a lot taller…

"Who are you punk?" he sneered at me.

"I'm her, boyfriend," I emphasized the last word as I grabbed [R/N]'s hand and dragged her away with me.

"Thanks Matt," [R/N] said behind me.

I turned around and saw her blushing a bit.

"No problem?" I answered as my face turned itself a dull pink color.

I realized that I had called myself [R/N]'s boyfriend just right now and she didn't say anything about it.

I also realized that we're still holding hands and I called myself her boyfriend and she thanks me?

Okay, I'm confused…

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Mello! Leave me alone!" I yelled walking away from the blond who was following me around the stage.

"No! Tell me who you like!"

"It's no one!"

"Then it must be someone then!" Mello yelled, as I sped up my pace and he did too.

"Mello, leave Berry-chan alone," L said, watching as the blonde stalked after the brunette.

"Not until she tells me!"

"No!"

"Mello, you're acting too emotional again…"Near trailed off as he stared at the screen, absentmindedly twirling a lock of white hair.

"Shut up, you stupid sheep!"

"If I'm so stupid, why am I always beating you at everything?" Near snipped.

"Shut UP!" Mello growled, temporarily forgetting about the brunette girl as he started towards Near.

"Uh, Near-kun, I think you should run," BB said towards the albino.

"I'm going to be fine," Near answered calmly as Mello came closer.

"Quick Berry-chan!" Matsuda suddenly sprang up and grabbed my wrist and went over and grabbed Near's. "I'll take both of you to a safe place, away from Mello." Matsuda grinned as he ran with us backstage.

"Oi! Don't touch her like that!" Mello barked as he followed us.

Oh dear Kira, what have these people gotten me into?

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Splash

"Matt! Come on in! The water's perfect!" [R/N] yelled from the water.

"I'll come in later!" I waved [R/N] off, as I tapped the buttons on my game furiously.

"Matt! Put that game down before I come and take it from you!" [R/N] yelled again, her hands on her hips.

"One more minute!" I yelled back. I could tell [R/N] was rolling her eyes.

Almost there…stop moving you damn ninja! Suddenly, the game was snatched from my grasp and I looked up to see [R/N] running all the way to the shore line with my game.

"Hey!" I yelled getting up and running after [R/N] as she started running away, each step she took, she was getting close to the water.

"I'm not giving this back until you come and play with me Mattie!" [R/N] yelled, dangling my precious game between her two fingers.

"Hey look! A dolphin!" I yelled, pointing nowhere in particular, temporarily distracting [R/N].

"Really?" [R/N] asked, turning around to look for the invisible dolphin. I ran towards [R/N] and tackled her to the ground, pinning her hands to her side as I started to tickle her.

"M-Matt! Stop!" [R/N] laughed as I tickled her some more.

"Fine," I smirked, as I laid on top of [R/N]. Suddenly, [R/N] flipped me over and started to tickle me.

"S-s-stop!" I managed to choke out in between my laughter.

"Not until you play with me!" [R/N] laughed along with me.

"I thought we were playing!" I giggled as [R/N] stopped tickling me.

"I don't consider this playing," [R/N] pouted. I smirked. A good idea instantly popped into my head as I flipped us over again, this time with myself on top.

"What are you doing Matt?" [R/N] asked as I looked into her confused yet amused eyes.

"Just playing a little game," I grinned as I leaned down and pressed my lips against [R/N], both of our lips instantly molding to each other. I softly licked [R/N]'s bottom lip and she allowed me entrance as I flicked my tongue inside her mouth. I heard [R/N] moan and felt her hands play with my red shaggy locks.

"That was one hell of a game," [R/N] gasped as we separated for air.

"Hmm...was it a good game?" I asked.

[R/N] nodded enthusiastically, smiling and looking straight into my green eyes.

"Then that must mean you're up for round two then," I smirked as I kissed [R/N] again.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Matsuda, can I go back now? I need to host the show," I whispered to Matsuda. He managed to get Near, him and me in a closet that I didn't even know the studio had.

"Matsuda, I have to agree with Berry-chan. We need to go back on stage," Near said, in the dark.

"Shh! I think we lost Mello," Matsuda whispered back.

Bright lights hit our eyes as the door flew open, Mello standing in the doorway and all of the bachelors behind him.

"Found you!" Mello yelled as he lifted me up by my arm. "Now tell me who you like!" Mello demanded as Matsuda and Near crept away towards the other bachelors.

"You really are dense," Light spoke up, clearly tired of the Mello-Attack on Berry.

"Shut. UP! " Mello growled at Light, still holding onto my arm.

"Mello-kun, what Light-kun is trying to say is that you are oblivious to everything, and as are you Berry-chan," L said, his hands in his pockets.

"Eh?" Mello and I both asked, clearly confused.

"Mello-kun, it's obvious Berry likes you," L stated as I started blushing furiously, turning my face away from Mello, "and Berry-chan, clearly Mello-kun feels the same way."

"I never said I liked Mello," I muttered.

"Well, due to the fact that you didn't want to admit to him who you liked, it made it clear that it was him that you liked. And due to the fact that Mello wanted to know quite badly, showed that he wanted to see if there would had to be some sort of competition for your admiration," L explained, pulling out a lollipop out of his pocket and sticking it in his mouth.

"Oh," I was I could squeak out as I felt Mello's grip on my arm slacken.

"So you like me?" Mello asked, turning to me with his blue eyes.

"Um," I said, fiddling with my fingers as I nodded sheepishly, my face turning a bright red.

"Well, I um…" Mello looked down at his shoes, "really, um…like you too…"

A smile instantly graced my face as I jumped towards Mello, as his arms caught me and I pushed my lips onto his on a forceful kiss.

"Aww!" Matsuda squealed before L slapped him from behind his head saying, "Matsuda you idiot!"

Our kiss got even deeper as Mello forced his tongue into my mouth, him tasting deliciously like chocolate the whole time. My hands wound themselves in his blond hair as he pushed me back into the closest, shutting the door and locking it behind him.

-o-o-o-o-o-

"Uh…well, this is awkward," BB said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yeah," Light agreed as they could hear moans coming from the closet.

"Oh! Mello! Oh god! Get your hands out of there!"

"Berry, it's stuck!"

"Get it out!"

"You know it feels good…"

"I hate you pervert."

"You know you love me."

"Shut up."

More face sucking sounds…

"O-okay then! Everyone away! Nothing to see here!" Matsuda yelled waving his hands around as some of the crew members started to form a crowd around the closet.

"Since Berry-chan is currently, um, occupied with something else, I'll close this episode today," L announced.

"Later…alligators…" L answered giving a half-hearted wave to the camera.

"Bye guys!" Berry gasped, peeping her head from around the closet door, her hair messed up, face flushed pink and several hickeys adorning her neck like a purple necklace.
