Season 2 Date 2 Alex and L
Watari gazed at the list of names in his hand wondering who the next victim lucky person would be going on a date.
"L," he said," I know you will just love this girl who asked for you."
"If she asked to date me," said L," there must be something wrong with her."
"What's that's supposed to mean?" asked Watari.
"I wouldn't want to go on a date with me," said L," and I like me."
"Personally, I would love to go on a date with me," said Mello." I'm gorgeous, smart, have a great personality...
"Do you want us to leave you alone with yourself," laughed Matt.
"I'm sure this girl sees some quality she likes about you, L, "said Watari, "or she wouldn't have asked for you."
"I suppose," said L." But many girl's find such qualities like my lack of hygiene, fashion, social behavior, and constant habit of always be right to be slightly annoying."
"I think it's only fair to warn this girl," sail Halle.
"Well, she asked for you, so she's stuck with you," said Watari.
There came a knock on the door and a lovely girl walked into the room. She smiled and walked confidently over to where L was standing.
"She looks normal enough," said Mello.
"She looks pretty darn good from over here," said Matt." How come I haven't gotta hottie of my own yet."
"I sure our dates will come up, Matt," sighed Mello.
"Yeah, but with my luck I end up dating the cousin of B," he said, with a pout.
The girl held her hand out to L and said, my name is Alex, and I hope we have a fun time together."
L reached over and took one finger from her hand and shook it lightly between his fingertips. This handshake made her arch her eyebrows and glance at Watari with a confuse expression. But Watari just smiled as if there was nothing unusual about this hand shake.
"I thought we could go to an anime convention for our date." said Alex, finally." Doesn't that send like fun?"
"That depends," said L." What is an anime?"
"Aren't those really bad pimples you get when you're a teenager," said Matsuda.
"Not, acne, anime," said Matt." It's one of those Japanese cartoons."
"I remember watching one, "said Matsuda," it had a robot guardian and the quest for galactic justice."
"Oh, those things." said L," I have no interest in an animated television series that have unrealistic characters in unlikely situations, especially if it deals with moral issues."
"I feel like somewhere...off in the distance... Dozens of people are rolling their eyes," said Stephen.
"Wait, a minute I remember watching this one anime I. It had these slave girls..."started Matt
Mello clapped," I don't think she is interested in hentai, Matt."
Halle rolled her eyes and said,"Is there anything creepier then teenage boys."
Stephen smiled and said," That fact that teenage girls love them."
"So are you ready to go, "said Alex, "I brought our costumes..."
"Are we traveling incognito? Is someone after you?" asked L quickly," This is really a mission isn't it."
"Chill," said Matt," People always dress up at these conventions. It's called cosplay."
"I don't care what is called, I refused to dress up," said L, almost pouting." costumes stifle my essence."
Watari grabbed L by the arm and pulled him over to the corner and said, "L, you do what that girl says or I'm afraid I will have to take drastic measures."
"And just what drastic measures do you have in mind?" said L.
"We'll there's that picture I have..." began Watari.
"You wouldn't!" said L.
"I would hate for the public to know..."
"Hey, every man has his moment of weakness," said L, turning his face away and whimpering," even me."
"But for a genius like you..."
"Don't say it!" he gasped
"... to be caught watching Spongebob Squarepants!" said Watari" "The very idea."
"Alright already," said L" I'll do what you say."
L walked back over to where Alex was standing and said, "I would be very happy to dress up and go with you to this Anime thing."
"Great we're doing Full Metal Alchemist," said Alex," I going to be Edward and your going as Roy.
"You're going as a boy!" said L, "you can't go as a boy!"
"A lot of girls dress up as boys," said Alex." The costumes are more comfortable and they'll know I'm a girl."
"This Roy character is a boy right?" asked L.
"Of course," said Alex.
"I thought we all might have to cross dress to get into this anime thing," said L.
"Would you quite complaining and put on your costume," said Alex," I'll be waiting outside for you in the taxi.
L looked at the costume and sighed." The things a man will do to protect his reputation."
"Here we are," said Alex," let's hurry up and get our tickets."
L stared around in amazement," such a large crowd just to honor this anime thing."
"It very popular around here," said Alex, rushing to get into a long line of people waiting outside.
"These people look like a bunch of weirdo's to me," scoffed L, looking around the crowd with distain.
"You're no judge," scowled Alex.
"Beg pardon?" ask L.
"Look if these guys are weirdoes then you're their mothership," she said, with a smirk.
"Hey! What that's supposed to mean?"
"You wear the same style of clothes every day, your hair looks like it's been cut with a weed whacker, you're so pale you could haunt a house, and your diet is the dream of every six year old."
"I'm eccentric," scowled L.
"Your weird," said Alex," fortunately I like weird, so it all works out."
"I don't think I like the way the whole conversation is going," huffed L, placing his arms across his chest.
"Oh, quit whining and read this pamphlet," said Alex," It will show you what activities we can do today."
L glanced over the cover of the pamphlet Alex handed him and read the title at the top.
"Babes and computers?" he said, dryly.
"That this year's theme," said Alex with a shrug.
L turn the pamphlet to the back and suddenly his eyes got big and he let out a long, low whistle.
"Wow," he said, drooling slightly," wowie, woo woo. Now that's what I call really hot. Wow."
"Boy, are you a per..." Alex started to say.
"That is the most amazing computer I've ever seen," said L, his eyes bugged out in admiration.
"What?" said Alex, in surprise" I thought you were talking about this big breasted anime girl."
L looked at the cover slowly before raising his head and saying," While her voluminous figure does appeal to the fantasy side of me, but it is over ruled by my sense of logic."
"Logic?"
"Her proportions, though ideal to the male ego, in real life would enable her to sit up or even walk erect," he said will a sigh. "She has to crawl on all fours, making her appear like a female gorilla."
"I love you, will you marry me," said Alex, dreamily.
"What?" said L.
" Oh, I sorry," said Alex," it's just nice to know a guy who has a true concept of what a women's proportions should be."
"Look, we're finally at the door," said L, grabbing her and rushing over to the ticket office.
"I'd like two tickets," he said, to the bored looking woman in a Moogle T-shirt.
"Would you like a one day, two day, or three day, silver, gold, or platinum?" she asked.
L looked at her in confusion and said," um... I not sure..."
The women sighed and looked at her long manicured finger nail before sudden spouting out," the silver one, two, and three day passes are standard admittance. The gold one day pass comes with a "Babes and Computers" poster, the gold -two day pass comes with poster and a regular plushie, gold day thee day pass comes with your choice of designer plushie or autographed picture.
"She seems to be speaking in some strange language" L whispered to Alex as the women continued.
"Now the platinum one day pas gives you your choice between a designer plushie and a poster. Platinum two day pass gives you a disk that lets you play part of the newest video game unreleased and a designer plushie and your choice between an autograph picture and poster. And the platinum three day pass gives you a bag to hold your game, poster, picture and designer plushie.
"Is that all?" scowled L.
"There's more," she said, gaze back at her nails.
"We'll take two, one day, silver passes," said Alex.
The woman gave them their ticket with a scowl and said," I should have known you were cheap by you pathetic costumes."
"Hey!"shouted Alex.
"Let's just go before she starts talking again." said L grabbing her arm.
"Hey, look its Roy and Edward," said a boy as they entered the main room." Can I have your picture?"
"Sure," said Alex, hugging L and smiling widely.
L looked at the boy in horror as he took his picture.
"Nooooo," he said grabbing the camera and throwing it on the floor.
"What are you doing?" yelled Alex.
L grabbed her arm pulled her aside and said," I can't have my picture taken! I have to remain unknown."
"You idiot," she shouted," no one's going to recognize you in that outfit."
She went over to the boy who was staring at his smashed camera in amazement.
"Sorry, about that, "said Alex," he works for Sony and he hates Kodak cameras. You can have my camera."
The boy took the camera, looked at L and angrily said," I suggest you take some anger management classes, buddy."
Alex sighed and said," come on to the I want to get some new mangas and stuff."
Alex gabbed several of her favorite mangas and was admiring a cute stuff animal when L happen to catch a glimpse of the price tag.
"These things are way over price," said L," I could find them much cheaper for you online."
"Hey," said the man at the booth," we don't need that kind of talk around here. Why don't you move along and make room for people willing to pay our prices."
Alex walked away from the booth, red cheeked, and said," that was so embarrassing."
"Don't you want to save money?" said L.
"No, I like to be caught up in the excitement. I don't mind paying a little extra, it part of the fun," she said, with a sigh.
"Well, why don't we go to my place and we can flush dollar bills down the toilet," said L sarcastically.
"Let's just go, okay" sighed Alex.
"Good idea," said L, as Alex pilled her bag of purchases into his arms.
"Look, "yelled a young girl, running up to them quickly, "it's Roy and Edward. I want a picture of you kissing."
"Kissing?"said L.
"Yeah," said the girl's friend eagerly, who was standing beside her.
"You don't understand, this is our first date and we..." he started to say.
"I WANT YOU TO KISS AND I WANT IT NOW!" yelled the girl, stamping her foot on ground.
"L, she's a fan girl," warned Alex," you better give her what she wants or she may turn violent."
"Fine," said L, leaning over and kissing Alex on the cheek.
"No," yelled the girl," I want a real kiss or I'll scream that your tried to attack me."
"What! "said L, through his teeth," Is there anything else you want?"
The girl paused and thought for a moment, before leaning over and whispering something in her friend's ear.
Her friend shook her head and said," they wouldn't let them do that here, out in public."
"How old are these kids? Twelve?" exclaimed L, staring at them with look of astonished disgust.
"It's the fanfiction," said Alex, with a shrug.
"So kiss already," said the girl.
L leaned over and placed his lips on Alex's, who flung her arms around his neck and gave him kiss that gave the fangirls their money's worth.
L found he liked it very much.
The girl's giggled and thanked them. Alex made sure they would send her a copy.
"Alright let's go." said Alex.
"Yeah," said L in a tired voice," home sounds good."
"Home," said Alex," who said anything about home? There's a Star Trek Convention down the road. You're going to look great as a Cleon."
L began to cry.
