"T"
Near and Mello were playing a very intense game of Tic Tac Toe. So far, Near had placed an X in the top right corner, Mello put an O in the bottom left corner, and Near put an X in the top left corner. Mello was just about to put an O in the middle when he saw it. He had to put an O in the top middle, or he would loose. Near quickly put an X in the remaining corner. Now, no matter what Mello did, Near would win. Mello saw his mistake.
'I don't wanna play any more. Tic Tac Toe is stupid. How could a game measure your intelligence when you only can make fife moves? It's usually a cat's game, anyway. A better game is connect-four. Same principal, longer game. And someone always wins. Unlike Tic Tac Toe. The only way to win in Tic Tac Toe is if the other person isn't paying attention. And why do we have to use X's and O's? We could use M's and m's! Because M is awesome!'
He walked by the table, 'accidentally' knocking over the Tic Tac Toe game. Matt walked in just as it was clattering to the floor. He had a popsicle in hand. 'Hey. I have to eat this before it unthaws.'
'Unthaw? It's just thaw, Matt. Unthaw would mean freeze again. Thaw means melt. Everyone says unthaw. We should unthaw Near! Then, he will need to thaw. But he won't, because he will be in the biggest freezer in the world! Then, millions of years from now, people will see him, and they will se the sign that says "Here is Near, the second smartest person in the world". And when they find my body, it will say "Here is Mello, the first smartest person in the world, and Ruler of the world." Then, they will look at Nears body, and be like, "We should thaw him." But it won't work, because he will be unthawed for the rest of the world!'
'You know I'm still hear, right?' Said Near from the floor.
'Umm, yes, I've known you were there the whole time, I swear. But, as I was saying, my favorite character in the Wizard of Oz has to be the Tin Man. He's so… tin…ish. And he's silver. He has the coolest hat in the world. If it was black, I would wear it. But, I guess I could incorporate some silver into my wardrobe. But black is so slimming. Even though he doesn't wear any black, he has a great singing voice. Much better then Todo. All he does is bark. But the Tin Man runs funny. I guess it's cause of all the tin. I wonder if he gets wedgies. That wouldn't be good. A tin wedgie. Ouch.'
Even with both their combined mental powers, neither Matt nor Near had any clue what went on inside Mello's mind. I don't think that's actually possible. Does he even see the connection between all his thoughts? I'm afraid that is a mystery not even L could solve.
