February the 1st, the beginning of spring and one of the orphan's birthdays.

"Matt! You'll never guess what!" Mello yelled as he ran up to the gamer.

Matt turned around to face his friend who smelt of chocolate and looked very excited. The red-head simply shrugged before returning to his DS, which he had been playing on.

The blonde sighed and put an arm around his companion's shoulders, "L is taking us to an amusement park for your birthday!" He stated loudly into the gamer's ear.

Matt struggled to be free from the chocoholic's grasp, but when the news sank in he began to leap with joy.

"It's already midday, we better hurry up and get ready!" Mello said with excitement, he quickly grabbed at the red-head's shirt and dragged him down the halls.


"BB needs to go…" BB whined as he squirmed in the backseat of the limo.

"You should have gone before we left." L replied in an annoyed tone.

"But BB's bursting! Does L have a cup BB could borrow?" The red-eyed teen begged.

L shook his head frantically, "No! BB how could you even think that?" He yelled, losing his cool.

The red-eyed teen didn't say anything more after that, he just frantically crossed his legs and squirmed around in his seat.

L sat next to the fidgeting teen while Near, Mello and Matt sat across from them.

Near looked over at the blonde beside him, he stared with unreadable eyes as he twiddled his hair slowly. Mello felt very disturbed by the dark eyes looking at him, he kept moving along the backseat until he was practically sitting on Matt.

The ride took a few hours, it was full of an awkward tension and arguments, but despite all of that; the orphans were really excited about where they were going.

Watari parked the limo in the park's carpark and paid for the next four hours. The orphans climbed out of the vehicle and ran off towards the large colorful building, BB shot ahead and searched desperately for the mens room.

Matt looked at all of the activities that he could take place in, but nothing seemed to grab his attention.

"Look over there," Mello said pointing towards signs that read; 'death trap up ahead' "I bet it's a giant roller coaster or something!" The blonde added as he grabbed for Matt's hand and dragged him towards the sign.

Near caught a glimpse of the two leaving and decided to follow out of curiosity.

L sighed as he waited for BB to re-appear, which he did, from the ceiling, as usual.

"BB feels so much better." The red-eyed teen said with relief.

"I'm glad you're so relieved." L said with a hint of humor in his voice, "What do you want to do first?" He added.

BB walked alongside L, he mimicked his odd hunched behaviour and moved with a similar pace, "BB wanna have fun with L!" He said happily.

L sighed, "I know that. But how do you wanna have fun?" He asked.

"Ugh... BB wanna... Have fun with L!" The red-eyed teen declared once more.

L gave up on trying to ask and walked off towards the bumper cars, BB followed behind happily.


"It's really dark in here, huh?" Mello whispered as he dragged Matt behind him.

It seemed that this specific part of the amusement park was off limits, but neither of the children had noticed and simply assumed that it was a ride of some sort. (Well, that's what Mello assumed, Matt had no say at all)

The two continued to walk through the tight narrow passageway, that had been sealed off and was covered with long iron poles and construction work, and made their way until they came to a dead end.

"This doesn't look good. We should probably head back." Mello said, his voice had turned from cocky to worried.

Matt didn't argue at all, he just turned around and dragged Mello along for once.

But they didn't get very far.

There was a sudden 'creak' and the floor seemed to shake under their feet, the two stopped as the noise filled the misty air. And suddenly the whole floor gave way and they fell through.

Matt landed on top of Mello, the red-head quickly scrambled off of the blonde and stood up. He couldn't see a lot from behind his orange goggles, and he had no choice but to take them off and let them hang around his neck.

Mello groaned and rolled over to look up from where they had fallen, "We're a long way down." He mumbled.

Matt nodded as he looked up from where they came. The young gamer then helped his friend up off of the hard floor and dusted him off.

"I wonder if there's a way out from down here." Mello said as he squinted his eyes in the darkness.

Matt's eyes suddenly widened and he reached for his trousers' pocket, he pulled out his DS and turned it on. There was enough light source from the screen to see where they could step and where they couldn't.

The light source suddenly fell onto a figure, the two boys screamed and fell back onto the cold floor.

"Why are we here exactly?" The voice of the figure asked.

Matt and Mello both knew the owner of the voice, and that only made them scream even more.

The figure walked closer to the two and twiddled his hair, he gave a small smirk at the sight before turning serious again.

"We should try and find a way out." Near said as he turned away and began walking off into the dark.

Matt and Mello stopped screaming and listened carefully, there was a 'crash' and 'clatter' and then a 'thump' followed.

"Oww." Near said in his monotoned voice. It was heard to tell if he was seriously injured or not.

Mello stood up from the ground and shone the light over the albino, Near squinted as Mello directed the light in his eyes on purpose.

"I think you'll be needing a light," Mello said with amusement in his voice, "And because I'm the one who has it, I'll be in front. You can't be number one in everything." He added as he walked by his rival.

Near didn't respond at all, he just twiddled his hair slowly and got off of the floor.

Matt watched the two leave, he gave a small sigh and followed shortly after.

Some birthday he was having.


Somehow, BB had proved every theory wrong as he rode a bumper car out of the building. No one could understand how he managed to get it out and make it still work, not even L.

"BB's having so much fun!" The red-eyed teen yelled as he drove throw the outdoors car park.

L had been clinging onto the other teen's arm for support, he wished that he hadn't shared with him now.

"BB, I think that we should turn around and return the bumper car before we get caught." L said, he tried to remain calm, but his voice kept on breaking.

"L shouldn't worry. BB will never be caught!" BB replied before laughing manically into the air.

The red-eyed teen continued to drive the tiny vehicle through the carpark, and accidently took a wrong turn.

"I think you missed that sign." L said in a worried tone.

"What sign?" BB asked as he continued driving forward.

"The sign that read in really large letters, 'Don't enter unless you're a complete psychopath' " L replied.

"BB saw it." The red-eyed teen replied too casually.

"They why did you drive past it?!"

"Because BB is psychopath, Near said so."

L clutched onto BB's arm and screamed as the bumper car went through an underground entrance.


"Shut up, NEAR!" Mello yelled as they walked through the dirty, wet passageway.

Near continued to hum to himself, he never made it sound cherry, just expressionless and almost creepy.

They had been walking for the past hour or so, and seemed to be going nowhere.

"If I'm correct, it was you who got us into this mess." Near said bluntly as he stopped humming.

"You didn't have to come! You just make everyone miserable!" The blonde spat back.

Matt opened his mouth to try and calm Mello down, but the light suddenly went off.

"Damn it!" Mello yelled, he was about to throw the DS to the ground. But he stopped himself and gave it back to Matt gently.

Near just raised an eyebrow at the two, he continued to twiddle his hair in the dark and waited for someone to suggest something.

When no one said anything, Near just rolled his eyes and was about to suggest something himself. But a rumbling sound in the distance cut him off.

The three waited in the dark as the noise came closer and closer, they could eventually hear screeching laughter.

"BB?" Near questioned as he tried looking off towards the noise.

"Run! Now!" Mello yelled, he grabbed both Matt and Near's hands and dragged them back down the path where they had come from.

The noise continued to grow louder and louder, it was clear that no matter how fast the three ran, they could never outrun whatever it was that BB was using.

Near stumbled over something and got left behind. Mello soon realized that the albino had let go of his hand. The blonde stopped running and looked back at Near who was struggling to get up.

Mello looked at Matt, "Keep running, Matt. Don't wait for me." He said as he pushed the red-head away.

Matt blinked a few times before nodding and running off.

Mello gave a really long sigh as he ran back towards Near and helped him up.

"I think it's twisted, I can't walk on it." Near said in his monotoned voice.

Mello growled in annoyance and looked straight into the younger boys face, "This doesn't mean I like you." He said as he listed Near off of the ground and carried him away.

Near was surprised at how fast Mello could actually run while carrying him.

But no matter how fast he ran, the noise only got closer.


"And that's all that happened?" Watari asked.

The orphans nodded in response, they were covered in bruises and bandages.

"Alright, get inside." The old man mumbled as he got inside the limo's front seat.

The five children gave each other small glances and glared evilly at each other.

They'd never go to an amusement park ever again.
