When I originally wrote this chapter it was in two parts so I am gonna post two chapters tonight so both parts go up! Please review!

I stared down at the list Simon had given me. It was completely ridiculous. There was absolutely no way it would ever work. Ever.

"Right... well I'm not doing this," I told Simon, thrusting the list back in his face.

"What? Why?" he moaned.

"Because it is stupid."

"Says the hopelessly single person to lady killer," Simon huffed. I snorted and started to walk away. "Oh come on Sephy! What's the worse that can happen?"

I turned to him and sighed. He knew this was me giving in. Well, he did have his puppy dog eyes on, it was totally unfair!

"Okay fine. But I swear to god if you make a fool out of me I will leave you in the room with Light... speaking of which, he needs to be fed."

"So we are treating him like an animal now?" asked Mello, rounding the corner from the kitchen.

"What else can we do?" I asked frustrated.

"Oh no, don't get me wrong. That damn bastard is an animal," he assured me, going back the way he had come. I turned back to Simon who I could see was plotting in his head.

"Disregard the list, I have thought of a few better ideas!" he sang, skipping away. He was very camp for a straight guy.

"Wait! What is step one!" I cried, running after him.

Step 1: Impress him

"Are you ready?" whispered Simon. I shook my head, continuing to watch L from the door. This felt completely stupid. "Good, now go." Simon pushed me into the room and I had no choice but to walk in or make an idiot of myself.

"Oh hey there L!" I giggled nervously. I felt like such a complete idiot. Why couldn't I just be normal?

"Good morning Sephy. Is there something you wanted?" L asked, not even looking up from the computer screen.

"Uh... what are you doing?" I asked, sinking down beside him on the sofa.

"Research," he replied.

"Oh... into what?" I pushed, leaning towards him to look at the screen. "Dimensions, Switching and Meanings," I read.

"I am going back no matter what," he replied, his eyes scanning the web page at an incredible speed.

"Oh, I can tell you... things about that!" I told him thinking of Simon's first tip. Impress him.

"Really? Please do tell," he encouraged, finally looking up from the screen into my eyes. Wow, maybe this could really work?

"Well... There is usually some key or trigger that moves you into a different dimension. Like something magical... Or sometimes they can gain these magical powers within themselves! Or death could bring you there, like it does in Angel Beats..."

"Angel Beats?" L asked.

"Yeah! It's my second favourite anime of all time! You should seriously watch-"

"You mean to tell me you are basing this all from anime?" L asked incredulously, interrupting my babbling.

"Uh... yeah," I replied, scratching the back of my neck.

"So you have no real proof or knowledge other than that bought from fiction?"

"No..."

"Please, Sephy, I do not have time for this," he said almost indifferently, turning back to the computer and tapping away at the keys again.

"Right... sorry," I mumbled, jumping up and leaving the room as quick as I could. I felt like a complete idiot.

"Hey Seph, how did it go?" asked Simon, bouncing on his toes.

"Terrible," I groaned, sinking down into a chair and grabbing a half eaten bar of chocolate that Mello must have left there.

"Why, what happened?" Simon asked, his excitable mood sinking.

"I started babbling about anime... he doesn't care about that! How am I supposed to impress him when the only thing I know anything about is anime?" I groaned.

"Well when I thought about it I assumed he would be more open to things from anime... considering he is an anime character himself..."

"Wow, you actually thought about this?" I asked sarcastically.

"Of course Sephy... I'm only trying to help," Simon replied softly. I sighed and put my head in my hands.

"I know... this is just going to get more and more difficult isn't it," I groaned.

"Yeah... but nobody said love was easy."

"Love... right."

"Oh come on, just try the next step. There is no way you can mess this one up."

"Thanks so much," I replied drily. "Come on, lets get this over with, then you can stop bugging me."

Step 2: Compliment him

"Hey L," I smiled, sinking down beside him on the sofa again. He continued to tap away at the computer. Well this felt like deja vu.

"Sephy," he nodded. A little colder perhaps.

"Wow you can type fast," I told him, starting off small with the compliments.

"Indeed."

"And of course you are super intelligent," I continued.

"Of course."

"I mean, if Kira hadn't of had a Shinigami, there would be no way he could have beaten you. You are far superior in intelligence to him."

"I shall not say Kira was not a challenge, he was indeed very intelligent, but I know I am far more so," he said bluntly. The thing was when he said it like it was just pure fact that he was intelligent, it didn't seem big-headed. More it felt he was right and it was the natural, truthful thing to say.

"Plus your hair looks cooler," I shrugged.

"Right."

"I mean, everyone freaking loves how you look. Like a cute little panda," I laughed.

"Panda?" he asked, looking at me confused. I slapped a hand over my mouth and my eyes went wide. No way. I had just called him a Panda.

"Ehehehe..." I laughed nervously, fidgeting in my seat. "Yeah... its the dark circles I think... you know from where you don't sleep... from your sense of justice and all of that..." He continued to just stare at me, saying nothing as I tried to fix what I had just said. "So many people prefer you over Light... including me, I mean, your just amazing...so cute and intelligent, and oh my god I have to go and do something," I shrieked, nerves finally dragging me away from this horrible awkward situation.

"Sephy? Where are you running to?" asked Simon as I shot out of the room and down the hall past him. I skidded to a halt and turned to face him.

"I totally just fangirled in front of L... I am such an idiot!" I cried, running further away from the horribly awkward situation. I could hear Simon's laughter echoing behind me.

Step 3: Eye contact

"How on earth am I supposed to look at him ever again after embarrassing myself like that? Let alone make 'sultry eye contact' as you call it," I cried.

"Just relax. Eye contact shows confidence. Guys love confidence," Simon informed me wisely.

"But the first two steps have gone disastrously! How can I continue making an idiot of myself?!"

"Well they were not the fault of the steps themselves, just you fangirling all over the place. There is no way you can go wrong with this. All you have to do is put all of your desire into your eyes and keep your mouth shut."

"Easier said than done," I grumbled. L entered the room and pulled a slice of cake out of the fridge, halting my conversation with Simon. Simon gave me a meaningful look and I rolled my eyes in response.

"Hey L, sit here, across from Sephy, I was just leaving," Simon called, leaving the room very quickly. L watched him leave weirdly, before taking the seat he had occupied, opposite me. I watched him as he dug his fork into the chocolate cake and shoved a large bit in his mouth. I flicked my eyes to his. Unfortunately he was too focused on the cake to notice me staring. However I waited, willing him to look up.

He was just polishing off the cake when he looked up and caught my intense, and now frustrated, gaze. He stared at me stonily, an obvious question as to what I wanted clear in his eyes. I tried to narrow my eyes and give him a 'sultry' look.

"Why are you squinting at me?" L asked. I shook my head quickly and looked away. I didn't even know what a sultry look was. How was this plan ever going to work. L stood up and headed back into the sitting room. I let my head fall and hit the table, lifting it up and slamming it back down again a few times in frustration. I was hopeless.
