The British Standard chapter 5
One bright fall day, L got Watari up extra early. "L, what is it?" Watari says getting out of bed. "My birthday, Watari, didn't you know?" Watari chuckles "Oh, yes, I haven't forgot." L drags Watari out of the bedroom. They head down to the kitchen and meet up with Josie.
"Good morning you two." She says as she places glasses of fresh orange juice on the table. L and Watari sit down. Josie looks over at L. "I can tell you're excited about something, L." Josie says with a smile. L nods "Yep, that's right." Josie and Watari watch as L gobbles down his breakfast. Luckily it was a Saturday and not much was going on.
L finishes up and Watari helps clean off the table. Josie heads off to the orphanage. "I'll be back later." She says leaving the kitchen. Watari and L wave and then head back to L's room.
"Ok L, what do you want to wear today?" Watari asks opening the closet. L jumps on the bed "My blue power ranger shirt, Watari." Watari smiles "All right, here it is." Watari hangs it on the door knob and digs out some pants to go with it.
After figuring out what to wear, the two head down to the bathroom to get cleaned up. L throws his night shirt off and jumps into the tub. L plays with the swan and duck while Watari soaps him up. "Look at your scars, L. They're almost gone." L stops and looks "They're still there; I can feel them." Watari washes him off "Yes, but Dr. Kurosaki still did a nice job on your injuries." L sets his swan and duck on the rack and gets out. Watari wraps the towel around him "Ok, let's get you ready." L nods and runs off to his room.
They head back to L's room and L throws the towel off of himself. Watari picks up the towel and puts it in the hamper. Then he picks up L's clothes. L sits patiently on the bed and waits for Watari's help. He bends down and helps L into his clothes. "Ok, hold still, L." L moves his legs all over the place. Eventually, he gets cught and on go the clothes. "Ok, now I'm going to get ready. I won't be long." Watari says and L nods.
L sits on the floor and starts making two dinosaurs fight. A knock comes on the door. "L, what are you doing?" she says. L looks up "Oh, hi Margie, nothing much." Margie sits down and plays with one of the raptors. "Your Aunt Josie said you would be over here." L looks at her "She did, did she?" Margie nods as Watari opens the door "Hey there, Margie. Would you two mind following me?" L and Margie stand up "Sure." Then they walk out of the room and Mello is sitting on the floor. He turns around "Hey, L." he says taking the chocolate bar out of his mouth and standing up. Watari smiles "Come on guys. We need to bake this cake for later." The three-some salute him and go to the kitchen.
When they reach the kitchen, they wash their hands off. Mello stares at the cake mix on the counter. "L, you're so lucky. It's chocolate cake." L grins "My favorite." Margie smiles "Mine too." Watari gets everything out and they all get started.
After a while, it's done. L, Margie, and Mello follow Watari down to the orphanage with the cake. They get to the big open room and open the door.
