IN THE MAKING
Chapter 9:
Camping
A.N. I just realized something; I don't have any plot planned, other than the competition between Sonya and Analise... which is basically a slightly-edited repeat of Mello and Near... Goddammit, I better start planning.
The next couple of days went by slowly for Sonya, as she waited for the red pickup truck that belonged to Daniel and Delilah's adoptive parents.
On Sunday morning, when that truck pulled in the driveway, the redhead gave a quick farewell then rushed outside, dragging her suitcase behind her.
"Bye Dad, bye Papa, I'll see you both Saturday night," Sonya had said as she raced outside.
Delilah climbed out of the back and helped her red-haired friend heave the suitcase up through the gap between the top of the tailgate and where the hinges of the door on the cap would be if said door hadn't gotten ripped off.
Afterwards, they both squeezed into the back. It was a tighter fit than it should have been, seeing as there were 4 people when it was only meant to fit 3.
"Hey Nancy," Sonya greeted the blonde girl that was apparently Daniel's guest.
"Hi Sonya," Nancy replied shyly.
"If you want to embarrass Daniel," Delilah whispered, "accuse him of inviting his girlfriend."
Sonya snickered, and both Daniel and Nancy blushed a bit.
"You two are going our, aren't you?" Sonya asked, a large smirk appearing on her face.
Daniel didn't respond, instead grabbing a DVD case from the door beside him. Cracking the case open, he slid the disk into the bottom of the mini TV in between the two seats in the front.
"A documentary on the Kira case?" Delilah questioned as the video began.
"It's all that was in here," Daniel replied. "Hope you ladies don't mind."
"I actually found the whole thing pretty interesting," Nancy said. "I mean, it was basically a battle between Kira and the world's greatest detective."
"That's how it started, anyway," Sonya added. "After a year or two, it became a battle between Kira and three of L's successors."
"Just how much do you know about those successors?" Daniel asked.
"L had five successors, known as A, B, Near, Mello, and Matt. Of course, that wasn't their real names; only alias's given to them at Wammy's House. 'A' and 'B' were short for 'Alternate' and 'Backup.' The stress of Wammy's house had gotten to A, and he ended up committing suicide. B was the one to find his body, and then B lost what remained of his sanity. He then went on the become the murderer in the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. So, at the time where Kira began killing, only Near, Mello, and Matt were still at Wammy's House; B was killed by Kira within the first few months. After L died, those three left Wammy's House to defeat Kira. After about another 6 years, thanks to a possible suicide mission on the parts of Matt and Mello, they had managed to catch Kira. Matt, Mello, and Near are still alive today, and are known to me as Dad, Papa, and the Sheep, respectively."
"Holy shit!" Daniel exclaimed. "You're step-parents helped beat Kira!?"
Sonya nodded. "If they hadn't have kidnapped Kiyomi Takada, then the case might never have been solved."
"Okay, that's it," Daniel said, "out of all of us, Sonya was adopted by the coolest people. Agreed?"
"Agreed," Delilah and Nancy echoed.
"Hey, Nancy," Sonya said, "your step-parents were both members of the SPK, so they're on the same level as Dad and Papa."
"Not even!" Nancy protested. "Mine didn't go to Wammy's House, yours did."
The documentary continued to play, unnoticed, as the four teenagers continued talking about anything from Kira, to school, to their week-long camping trip.
