PandaPuff007 has signed on.
chocowhore14 has signed on.
chocowhore14: L!!!!! We ttly signed on at the same time!
PandaPuff007: Has Watari contacted you about the cruise, Mello?
chocowhore14: Yes. But he didn't tell me why we're going on it.
PandaPuff007: There are several scientific and psychological justifications for going on this trip.
chocowhore14: Yeah, suuuuure. Try telling Near that. He's all pissed off cause you're making him go.
PandaPuff007: And Matt?
chocowhore14: He doesn't really care either way. But does your little friend have to come with us?
PandaPuff007: Light is coming. End of discussion.
chocowhore14: DX Fine. Jeez, you're grumpy today.
PandaPuff007: Light is having a fit because he can't find the shorts I am hiding from him. He's packing everything he possesses.
chocowhore14: o.O I'm not going to ask why you're hiding his shorts.
PandaPuff007: You will figure it out. I have to go calm him down. Please make sure Matt packs a suitable amount of clothing, and stop bothering Near. I'll see you tomorrow; Watari will pick you up from the airport.
chocowhore14: I'm not bothering Near!
PandaPuff007 has signed off.

"Light-kun," L snapped, shutting his laptop.
Light looked up from his suitcase. "Yes?"
"Light-kun is making a commotion."
"I'm packing. Unlike you, I require more than white shirts, jeans, and lint-covered gummy worms to keep me satisfied. Now where are those shorts…?"
"I also require peace and silence, two things that Light-kun is not providing me with!" L shifted around and leaned forward to pluck something out of Light's suitcase. The younger male blushed and crossed his arms.
"I need that!"
"Light-kun needs a pink stuffed rabbit?"
Light tried to snatch it away, but L held it out of his reach. "Give it back!"
L smirked and twirled it around by its ear.
"Give me Mumu!"
"Mumu?"
Flustered, Light reached again and got a hold of his rabbit, slapping L's hand away and putting the toy delicately in his suitcase.
"Did Light Bright need Mumu while growing up to support and comfort him?" L asked dryly.
Light ignored L's taunting and tried to slam his suitcase closed dramatically.
…It didn't close.
"Light-kun has packed too many items and his case will not shut."
Light pushed down on the case and tried to zip it closed. "I don't (pant)…need your…(grunt)…narration, Ryuuzaki!" he said with some effort.
"Down by two point seven percent for idiocy." That said, L went over, shoved Light to the side, and also tried to zip the oversized luggage.
"It won't work," Light said knowingly.
"Yes, it will." Turning around, L picked Light up bridal-style and sat him on top of the suitcase, effectively closing it all the way.
"Ryuuzaki!"
L zipped the luggage closed and returned to his crouch on the bed. "Light-kun's substantial weight was beneficial to the-"
Light interrupted him. "Will you stop going on about my weight?!" he exclaimed, climbing down off of the suitcase.
"Why does that bother-"
"It's a cheap shot! It's something Mello would say. Speaking of him," Light said, sitting next to L, "are you sure he's coming?"
"Yes."
"But I hate him!"
"He's coming. End of discussion."
"…I'm not a kid."
"Tell that to Mumu."
-------------------
The next day, the three boys arrived from England and the group set off in L's limo, Watari driving them.
"Move over, blondie."
"You move over, slutface."
Mello, Light and L were squished in a row in the limo's seat, Light being crushed in the middle.
"L, make him move!" Light whined, looking next to him at his companion.
L leaned forward and frowned at Mello on the other side of Light. "Mello, please make room for Light-kun's hips."
Light groaned. "Will you shut up about my hips?!"
On the other side of the limo sat Near and Matt, playing with a robot and a video game respectively.
"They are fools," Near said quietly.
"Hn," Matt responded.
The rest of the ride went on like that and after sitting in traffic, they arrived at the dock where their ship was.
"Have a nice time, boys," Watari said once they had unloaded everything. He got back into the limo and sped off.
L fished the tickets out of his pocket and handed them out to the rest of the group.
"Can we go? I wanna see the ship!" Mello said eagerly.
"Yes, Ryuuzaki. We have to let the kid explore the ship," Light encouraged.
Mello turned toward Light. "How about we see who's a kid after I beat the hell out of you?"
"Like you could do that, girly."
"Bring it on!"
Just as they were about to fight, L pulled Light back and Matt grabbed onto Mello's shirt, not looking away from his game.
"We will go now," L said, jerking Light back over toward him. "Collect your things and follow me."
They grabbed their suitcases and went over to the ship to wait in line. Once they got to the top of the ramp, a woman took their tickets and told them where to go:
"To get to your rooms, go straight, turn left, go up the elevator to your floor –the gold elevator, not the silver,- go right, left, left –not right, - left and go straight and you will see your rooms near the end of the hall. Have a nice trip!" she chirped.
They entered the ship and stood off to the side to confirm what they had heard.
"No, she said right, Near," Mello snapped.
"I am smarter than you, Mello. She said left."
"Will you two silence yourselves?"
After some deliberation, they decided to listen to what L thought was best and went that way. After a few wrong turns and Mello tripping Light several times, they made it to their rooms.
"You three have room 775," L said. "Light-kun and I will be right next to you."
Matt grabbed the key card and opened their room without a word. L peered into it.
"You three have a bunk bed and a normal bed. I expect you to figure out your sleeping situation in an adult-like and controlled manner."
Hearing this, Mello shoved his way in and hauled himself up onto the top bunk.
"Matt gets the normal bed!" he said. "Near, you get the bottom bunk."
Near's eyes narrowed a little bit and he stepped into the room. "Mello, I do not want to have to fight you for that bed."
Matt, still playing, walked over to his bed and plopped down on it.
"…Contact me later," L said, closing the door right when Near shot one of his robot missiles at Mello. He walked down to where Light was standing outside of their door.
"Ryuuzaki?" Light asked.
"Yes?"
"Why does it say that?"
L frowned and looked at what Light was pointing at. It was a little sign on their door that said Bridal Suite.
"Bridal suite?" L breathed. "Why would we…?"
He slid the card in and the door unlocked with a beep. They stepped inside.
There were the usual objects: a desk, a couch, and a TV in the tiny living room, a kitchenette, but when they walked into the bathroom the first thing they noticed was a see-through shower.
"No way," Light said, with a shake of his head. "There's no way I'm staying in this suite."
L jut blinked a few times and went into the bedroom.
"Oh, Lord."
A large, heart-shaped bed with red and pink silk sheets and a bottle of chilled champagne on said bed told Light and L all they needed to know about this particular bridal suite.
"This is unbelievable!" Light exclaimed, throwing his hands into the air. "This is just perfect. Of all the rooms Watari could have gotten us, he accidentally put us in this perverted suite! I can't stay in here!"
"Light-kun will have to deal with it," L said. "I do not want to cause a scene asking to change rooms and I need to stay near those three in case they cause a ruckus."
Light whirled around to face L. "A ruckus? I'll show you a ruckus if you don't get us out of this room!" He put his hands on his hips.
"Hey!…Woah." Mello came into the bedroom and looked around in shock. Then he smirked at Light. "Looks like you'll be getting what you want tonight, Lightooo."
"Shut your mouth, brat!"
L sighed. This trip was not going so well and they weren't even at sea yet.
-------------------
That night, once the ship had taken off, L and Light climbed into bed and laid down, ready to sleep.
"Ryuuzaki?"
"Yes?"
"Why is there a mirror on the ceiling?"
