I'm happy we've concluded this story! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! No, I'm not doing anything for New Year… This has taken a toll on me xD Sorry for my laziness. Plus, I haven't even thought of my own New Years resolution! So how could I think of one for one of the Wammy's boy? *light bulb* Never mind ^^

I hope you all enjoy the last part of this short random series! And last but not least, I do not own our little geniuses. However, I like to know I'm messing with them –evil grin-

I will be the narrator thought out this whole story. So Alex is considered an official OC.

Enjoy! Ja Ne!

MERRY CHRISTMAS WAMMY'S

Welcome back. Now where we left off: The boys are doing quite well Christmas is today and their all preparing. All have been acting strange, all have been too happy. Once in a while the boys would regroup as always and stare at each other.

Why is Mello so nice to Near?

Why is Near so close to Matt?

Why are L and Light staring off?

Why is A so B distant?

All questions swirled around. Everyone still probing, ignoring the holiday but focused on their tasks. The girl they met became a friend and most spent their time with her. Now today is the day for them all to get into action. Let's see how they all do…

-x-

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The door finally opens revealing quite a colorful girl.

"What have you been doing? Coloring your self?" Mello laughed.

"Ha-ha. What's up?" Alex said inviting him in.

"I'm kind of nervous…" Mello said sitting on her bed. He's grown close to Alex in quite a short time. He would come up to her at the pond, her room or the Library. The only places he practically sees her.

Does she even eat? Her figure say's other wise… Mello said look at something to distract himself.

He hasn't seen her talk to others and that made him happy and worried. She doesn't seem to have friends, but she's a good one. He has someone only to himself, someone who understood him closely. Near couldn't take her away if he tried.

"What are you drawing?" He said looking at her unfinished project.

"It's my room… I'm going to be moving my stuff to the art room until I find another place to stay." She said as she continued.

Her hands moved gracefully across the canvas.

"With you're fingers?" Mello asked, still starting at her movements.

"Well, I want to remember it as a childhood place. Not all of my work has to be sophisticated." She laughed.

"That's why you have no smock…" She nodded.

"You're too messy…" He sighed. She turned to stick her tongue out and returned to painting.

"Why are you moving out?" Mello said looking around her plain room. Art and papers were scatted, but the room looked more like a living masterpiece than a place full of work.

"A favor for a friend." She said dipping her hand in brown paint. They let in a friendly silence.

"You're nervous about Near's gift?" The set had come in yesterday. Mello asked for it to say 'Let's start over -Mello' all white but the letters in black. He made it so that Near would probably finish by New Years.

"Yeah…"

"When are you giving it to him?"

"I'm not sure." Mello took out some chocolate and nibbled on it, concentrating.

"I think Near might be going out with Matt today… Why not try when they come back." She said silently.

The silence was short but suffocating. Little swishes were made by Alex's fingers.

"Sure, how will I do it?"

"You're smart and creative yourself, Mello. I'm sure we've gotten on a good enough level too. Do you think you have an idea of how I think you should do it?" She looked at him with full attention.

Mello looked into to her piercing brown eyes. He actually found himself growing fonder of the girl than concentrating. He jerked his gaze away and she sighed.

"Be right back." She headed into the bathroom. The water was hearable. It shut off and she came out with clean hands.

"Let's plan it out. Near will come back with Matt in the front doors, right?" She sat besides him.

"Logically…" Mello said.

She waved her hand around. "Okay, so let's try getting him to find the first Rubik then and there."

Mello thought and he looked up with wide eyes.

She nodded. "Try not getting him hurt though…"

"How else are we going to do it…"

They looked at each other for a while. She jumped up and pointed at Mello. "I meant to let him trip over it!"

"I thought you intended to throw it at him! He'll get hurt either way!"

"True…" She sat down and thought. "Why not place it at you're door-

"Their door, I'm moving out."

"What ever floats you boat." She sighed and continued. "Place it there when they come up. That way no kid will get it while they're coming up. Let it have a note that say's 'I bet you can't solve this!' Hide each one all over the orphanage; a clue after another!"

"That's a good plan." Mello smiled in appreciation. "I owe you."

"Nah, you got me out of my boredom, that's enough. Maybe I could make a book on you guys!" She beamed.

"No thanks… I want to be kept original." Mello rolled his eyes.

He got up and headed out. "Thanks for the help."

"Thanks for the fun."

"Hey, Mello?"

He turned around and saw a green leaf bunch from above.

"Mistletoe!"

She kissed him and waved good bye, closing the door, leaving Mello with red cheeks and a gaze locked in shock.

As she headed back to her canvases she took one out of a blond boy. "Thanks for the fun, indeed."

~ From there Mello walked dazed~

-x-

Light found himself in Watari's camera room, watching L work. The old man had agreed to help Light and L's "relationship".

But still, the boy couldn't help but wonder about the girl that gave him the idea.

"Watari, have you heard of a girl named Alex?"

The old man came out of the closet and walked up to Light.

"Yes, if I remember, she's a pupil of L. They've grown into quite the good of friends. She would ask him of help or his idea for any matter and he would consult her. He treats her like a sister and he a brotherly image. She doesn't talk to any other orphans it seems… However, she's a bright girl. Have you happened to meet her?"

"Yes, she's the one that gave me the idea…" Light said happily. "I want to go thank her…"

"I see. You may proceed." Watari opened the door for Light.

The brunette walked out into the hall and headed to the common room. That's where his memory is directing him.

And it was right. The small girl was sitting in a corner drawing in her book.

"… and a Happy New Year!" She smiled at her drawing.

"Hey, Alex." Light said sitting across from her.

"Hi, Light! Look, I drew the ball drop that happens in America!"

She showed him her black and white sketch. His eyes grew.

"You really drew this…?" He said looking at the detail. It looked like it would come out of the page.

"Yes! I was awake before the other orphans so I drew it!" She smiled.

"You're really talented…" He handed her the book. She smiled and shaded some parts happily.

"Why is Light here?" She said after a delightful silence.

"Oh…" He caught himself looking at her. "I wanted to thank you, for the idea."

"No problem! I hope Light gets close with L!" She smiled.

She flipped her pages. "Look!"

A picture of L sleeping was drawn.

Light giggled. "Is that cake?"

"Yes! He woke up with some in his hair!" She laughed.

They laughed for a while and it settled.

"You're an amazing girl… why don't you hang out with the other orphans?"

She stopped admiring the drawing and looked up. "Why should I make friends…if they'll disappear after?"

Light looked into her eyes. It wasn't sorrow or anger… It looked more like…Truth.

"That's true, but you shouldn't let your childhood waste like that…" I think L has been wearing off on her…

"Will Light be my friend then?" She began lightly stoking and empty page.

"Yes…"

"He can't." She said.

"Why?"

"Because Alex will leave him…" She said staring into his eyes.

They stayed like that. Light tried to take in what she meant. The orphanages lunch bell rang.

"Oh! I have to go! Bye-bye!" And with that she was off.

-x-

A headed into the orphanage's art room to look for Alex.

"Hello…Anyone in there?"

Silence. A little noise was noticeable however.

"Huh… You would think-"

"A!" A girl jumped at him and he caught her.

"Oh! Hey…" He said putting her down. "Why didn't you answer when I called out?"

"I did… I was in the closet."

"Oh, no problem." He sat on a stool. She went back to her work.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

"I was hoping you could help me with the pendent." He said pulling out a two boxes.

She turned around beaming. "Of course!"

She dropped whatever she had and grabbed some tools and the pendants. He asked her to help him make deigns and dry it.

"Hot glue gun…paint…" She looked at everything and nodded smiling. "Let's start."

A nodded.

"Okay, first let's place the gem in. Where's the gem?" He opened the boxes and took out two gems, one a ruby and the other a sapphire. They were shaped into half a heart to connect.

"That's so cute…" A blushed and nodded.

"Okay, I'm sure if we glue those in here…" She placed them in their sockets and used the hot glue gun to put them in place.

Should she really be using that…? A could feel the heat.

"There!" She picked the hand made jewelry up. She took string and put them through the holes at the top making them into necklaces.

"Wow…they look like their glowing…"

A nodded happily. "What should I paint them?"

"Oh, paint his red. The blue gem is you for him, right? So it could be like you're a part of him." She dazed off and jumped happily "So cute…so cute…"

"Ha-ha…Yeah, that's a great idea. You're bright…" A said. "Uh…how'd you know it's 'him'?"

"Thank you. It's not that hard to read in between the lines." She smirked and he blushed.

The poor girl probably was taught theses things… A sighed for her innocence.

"Anyways, when I said 'him' before you talked on." She pointed to his uncolored pendent. "Do the same with the other."

They painted the jewelry and set them down to dry. A decided to wait. He didn't have much to do.

Surprisingly, the paint dried in a matter of half an hour.

"I made it myself."

"And it isn't radioactive?" A looked at the amazingly gleaming paint.

She laughed. "No silly! But I don't use it on my drawings." She clarified. "Now put them inside and go!" She shooed him.

"Merry Christmas, Alex!"

"Merry Christmas, A!" And he was gone.

-x-

Near looked around. Alex would be visiting him around this time.

And as if on cue she jumped into the common room.

"Hey Near!" She said dreamy.

"Hello, Alex." He twisted his hair.

"How's it going?" She leaned on the wall next to him.

"Nothing's changed…"

"Awwww, don't worry! I'm sure Matt will pour out his feelings after today! You're not excluded."

Near blushed.

"Have you made the coupons?" She said seriously.

Near brought both his knees up and dug them into his chest.

She laughed and patted him on the back. "Outta boy!" She said.

They happily talked for a while, until Alex had to go.

"Merry Christmas, Near!"

"Merry Christmas, Alex…" Why did he feel like something was leaving?

-x-

"Hey, Alex!" Matt said as he gamed towards his friend. She was looking outside sitting on one of the hallway windows.

"There's my favorite red head..." She said looking towards him. "What's up?"

"Nothing much…" He sat on the floor besides her feet.

"Where are you taking Near?" She said dazing back at the setting sun.

"I'm going into town with him for ice cream and then we'll get gifts. I guess the rest after that will come."

"You're a natural with last minute things, don't sweat it." She said reaching down and ruffling his hair.

They talked about the latest games, what they'll prank Roger with on New Years and then sat in a friendly silence until they parted ways.

-x-

As B searched though the cabinet's he swore.

"Damn you Roger…" The old man hid all kitchen utensils.

B noticed a note and read it.

I hid all of kitchenware, I'm sure you've noticed. STOP TAKING THOSE THINGS! You need to find a better hobby, B!

-R

p.s. I've taken all of the jam.

"Tch…old geezer…" B crumbled up the paper and walked out of the kitchen.

As B excited the kitchen he noticed a girl pass him by.

They bumped into each other.

"Oh, hey… At least you didn't kick me in the gut this time." She said as she picked up a paper.

He snickered. "Maybe I should've done it a bit harder last time."

"What did you do with the gifts?" She rolled her eyes, walking along with him.

"I placed them somewhere safe."

She looked at him with a questionable look. He smirked and she looked away.

"Never mind."

"What's up, you look tired…"

She yawned. "I am…I'm walking back and forth to place my stuff in the art room."

"You need help?"

"Nah, it's almost night, get going." She said as she headed downstairs.

"Yeah, Merry Christmas."

"You too, B…"

-x-

"Hi L!" Alex said as she entered his room.

"Hello, Alex." L said turning around and smiling at the little one.

"I don't have much to ask about today…I was wondering how you're day was going… How's the plan?" She lay on his bed.

"Both are fine."

She looked at his wall. Some of the pictures she drew for him were up on the wall.

"Hey L, could I put up another picture?"

"I would be delighted." L said nodding and not turning around. He heard something similar to rubber of shoes tap on the floor and then the ruffling of the bed. Sounds of papers crumbling and stapling followed.

The noises settled down. "You can put everything in. Did you already do that?"

"Yes, you're room was empty when I got there…"

"I moved my stuff to a closet around my room. I just finished moving everything…" She said rolling over.

"You chose to fill up the room for him?"

"Yes, it's not all that much, however. I left a note telling him he should know I will not leave here."

She laughed. "You're too determined L…"

"Wait…Are you going to be staying here today? It's Christmas, L!"

"Yes I know." She rolled her eyes and walked up to L. He looked at her.

"Don't be such a put down today L! Enjoy yourself when the opportunity comes!" She yawned.

"Yes, yes…Are you alright?" She headed back to the bed. L looked at her as she lazily warped herself in the covers.

"I'm just tired… Can you wake me up in an hour or so… I have something's I have to do…" She kicked off her shoes.

"Alright… Sleep well…" He got up and gave her a peck on the cheek and fixed the blankets around her.

"Hey, L?"

"Yes?"

"Thanks for being a good friend…"

"You're too, nice…" And he went back to work.

-x-

Such fun, such fun the boys will have. Its Christmas night and everyone's started.

-x-Giving and Receiving

When B made it to A's room the younger was happily staring at something.

"Hey, Alex…"

He jumped and turned around blushing. "H-hey Beyond…" He hid the items.

"What you looking at?" B said trying to catch a glimpse.

"Your Christmas present. Want to exchange them now?" A smiled.

"Sure, let's head back to my room." B helped A up and they talked a little.

B held out a box to A and a covered up canvas. A gave a small box to B. They opened the things at the same time, eyes widened.

"This awesome!" They exclaimed.

"Look it matches." A held out another pendent identical to B's.

B smiled as A put it on then went back to probing his gift.

"How did you get this from Yuko…herself?" A read through the work.

"Look at the drawing." A removed the sheet and gasped. The picture was of him, amazing, but not as wonderful as it being signed by his favorite writer.

"She draws? How did she draw me? She couldn't be in the orphanage…could she?" B smiled and placed the pendent around his neck.

"No way… Could it be Alex?" B looked at A surprised.

"You know her?"

"Yeah…she helped me…with the pendants…"

"Whoa…" They both looked at each other.

~x~

As Matt went to Near's room he looked around for Alex to console him, but she wasn't around.

He remembered her playful and assuring words as he headed into Near's room.

"Hey, Near!" The younger looked up.

"Hello Matt…"

"Wanna go outside? I was wondering what you wanted for Christmas, but I couldn't think of something besides Lego's." Matt laughed. Near did too.

"Alright." Near went to change into warmer clothes and they headed out.

~x~

"Hey, L." The insomniac looked up.

"Yes, Light?"

"I was hoping you'd come out with me tonight…"

Don't be such a put down today L! Enjoy yourself when the opportunity comes! Alex's words echoed.

"As you wish…" L got up and left with Light holding Alex's words on his shoulders.

~x~

Mello bit off a big chunk of chocolate as he saw Matt and Near leave.

He wondered if Alex was still alone drawing or painting somewhere. He looked in the art room like she said she would be staying but only her work was there. He tried her room to see if she was there but it was empty and full of someone else belongings.

When he gave up Mello went to his room. Roger said there was a room available and Mello volunteered to take that one. As he opened the door his eyes gazed at the picture handing up on the wall.

A drawing of him smiling. He locked his door and took the work of art down. He looked at the words written on the bottom and felt sad, for the first time.

I promised I would draw you, didn't I?

~Alex

Not her pen name this time. He flipped it over after feeling something scratch his fingers.

There was a picture stapled on the back with a picture of him and Alex at the pond. The back of the canvas was a larger drawing of the stapled picture.

Merry Christmas Mello!

Why did everything he loves suddenly disappear?

~x~

By the time Matt and Near returned, it was already dark. The two did in fact admit to each other.

Matt rushed them home after getting his 'Near coupons' and wanted to use the first one. They were already all over each other the time they made it to their room.

When Near headed in first. He felt something kick at his leg and they fell.

"What was that…?" Matt got off of Near and said his sorry. Near went to pick up the object.

"A Rubik cube…" Near felt something on one of the sides.

Merry Christmas, Snowball. Think you can solve you're gift?

-M

Near felt the anger behind the note and smiled. It looks like he has something to look forward too.

~x~

The gates were closed when L and Light got home. Watari opened and locked them as Light and L headed into the orphanage.

The insomniac had much fun, though he didn't really understand the reason as to why certain things happened.

"Oh, Light-kun, I forgot to give you you're Christmas gift. Follow me." L said cheerily as Light followed after.

"Watari, may you prepare some snacks for me by the time I return?" L said to his mentor.

"As you wish, L." And with that the old man was off.

"Oh…and get me some of those hotdogs we ate…" Watari nodded.

Light's eyes grew wide. What exactly did he do to L?

They walked up a few flights. "Here we are." L opened a room.

"This is you're own personal room." L said walking in.

There were two book shelves full of books, a desk with a computer, a TV and a laptop on the nightstand.

"I thought you would like to sleep here if you wanted so I left the bed here."

Light felt happy but then his gaze darkened.

"L..."

"Yes, Light-kun?" l said humming part of Messiah.

"I told you to leave our room!" Light shouted.

"Yes you did, but I will not repeat this, Light. I will not leave that room." L said back to his cold self.

"Fine, whatever. You've already went through the trouble of getting me this. I'll be staying here tonight." Light said sulking on the bed. "It smell's like paint."

Suddenly he remembered Alex. "It will go away…" L said sadly, but his voice masked. He went looking for Alex, but he couldn't find her. He asked Watari to check the cameras but she wasn't anywhere to be found.

"Hey L…" L stared at the wall Alex stapled the pictures before. Both colored, in a sad atmosphere.

"Yes, Alex?" One was of him sleeping, cake on his face.

The other was of her smiling with him looking dull but a faint smile was on his face.

"Thanks for being a good friend…"

-x-

Reikan-san: Alex…

Alex: Yes?

Reikan-san: YOU GOT TOO CLOSE TO THEM!

Alex: I-I'm sorry… That's how I am…

Reikan-san: Yes, and I fell victim to it too! I knew you were a bad idea…

Alex: You make the dumbest decisions; it's not even funny…

Reikan-san: Whatever… I hope everyone will okay since you suddenly disappeared… You even left them stuff!

Alex: He…he…

Reikan-san: Whatever… you're a good friend. That's all I can say.

I hope everyone enjoyed! Tell me how I did! Should I make more random themed series or one-shots? Was this Cheesy? Lame? Enjoyable? Give me Glows and Grows and I will improve on other writing.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME: Uh… yeah I realized that my other chapters have A LOT of grammatical errors and errors that defy the laws of dumb and trust me I'm feeling SSSOOO dumb right now… I will fix them all in my updates (probably a month from now). I made sure I checked over this story so if anything is off, SUE ME! Aright, that's all. Ja Ne!

Merry (day after xD) Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
