The Dean sat in his chair watching out the window and he heard a knock on his door, "Come in!" The door creaked open and Beyond stepped in quietly and cleared his throat grabbing the attention of the Dean. He turned in his chair, "Ah, Mr. Birthday."

Beyond flopped himself in the chair across from the desk, "My request."

The Dean arched his eyebrow, "Alright, let's hear it."

"I want a fundraiser."

The Dean blinked a couple of times, "Uh. For yourself?"

Beyond shook his head, "For women like my mom."

The Dean leaned on his desk, "I'm listening." He pulled Beyond's record out, "You're an interesting young man, in fact I personally sent your acceptance letter out." He glanced up at the piercing red eyes, "Our guidelines state no one with previous unlawful activities. Had you have scored anything less than the top ten percentile I wouldn't have accepted you."

Beyond stared at the Dean the dropped his eyes to the floor.

The Dean smiled, "But you. You're nothing like your record states. I've watched you closely, no offense. But, you're a giver. You've got a big heart, kid." He scanned his record and smiled, "Criminal Justice?"

"Lawyer. I intend to attend law school as soon as I can." Beyond glanced back up.

The Dean smiled, "Something tells me you'll make a good one. Anyway, what's your request?"

"I want to start a fundraiser for Covent of the Good Shepherd." Beyond shifted his glance outside.

The Dean stared at him for a moment, "I see." He looked down at the desk and folded his hands. "So you'd give up this opportunity to further yourself, to help a battered woman's shelter… A big heart indeed. Alright. How about this, I'll start an awareness program that can accept donations on behalf of this shelter. I'll fund $10,000 into this fundraiser, eight of which will be in your name. Two in ours." He furrowed his eyebrows, "That's what you want?"

Beyond stood up and held his hand out, "I don't want another mother to end up like mine."

The Dean gave him a warm smile and shook his hand, "I'll draw up all the legal paperwork and I'll have it ready." He looked up to see Beyond had already walked out. He looked back down to Beyond's file, payment type: Scholarship. He gave a warm smile at the door. "Magnanimous, that's how I'd describe you."

Beyond went and sat at their usual table, Mello leaned in, "What did you ask for?"

Beyond shrugged and took a drink of his soda, "Scholarship."

Mello rolled his eyes, "Boring!"

L stared at Beyond analytically. Beyond chuckled and messed his hair up, "He drives a hard bargain." L furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

The group started to get up and take care of their trays, L stayed still as did Beyond. "You didn't ask for that… Did you? You're here on scholarship already."

Beyond shifted his stare to L, "What are you? A human lie detector? What's it matter what I asked for?" Beyond stood up and threw his garbage away and caught up with the group leaving L with a slight smirk.
