A/N: Woooo updating this finally! Party and a half. I eventually got this idea of a way to continue the story and still have plot...roller coaster related plot even! Very exciting. So, sorry for the kind of short chapter, but I just wanted to prove I am still continuing this. Consider it an introduction of sorts to the next plot arc.

Side Note: My best friend is studying abroad in Ecuador this summer, and messaged me today to say she might end up staying for next semester!!! And while I'm excited for her, I already miss her tons, and can hardly imagine going back to school and her not being there. So some cheer-inducing reviews right now would be AWESOME. Thanks everyone! 3

Chapter 4


Lovin' you is really wild
Oh it's just a love rollercoaster
step right up and get your tickets

Your love is like a Rollercoaster baby,baby
I wanna ride yeah (awawaw)

The morning light drifting through the curtains fell across Light's eyes, easing him slowly from his comfortable sleep. His head pounded objectionably as he sat up, and he groaned lightly, shutting his eyes against the sun.

Then he felt soft, cool fingers brush his temple and he let out a relaxed, happy sigh, leaning into L's caress. The other man started running his fingers through Light's silky hair, and Light's happiness was complete. In his opinion, there was hardly anything more soothing than having his hair played with.

Easing his eyes open once more, Light peered up at L, who was sitting crouched with his back against the headboard. Returning L's soft smile, Light reached up to run his fingers along the man's jaw, and felt tingles run through his hand even as L caught his breath and pressed his eyes firmly closed, tensing up as an all-too pleasurable sensation worked through him.

It was then that Light noticed it.

"L, do you remember me taking my watch off last night?"

"No…I don't believe I do…"

"Shit". Light scrambled off the bed, ignoring the throbbing pain in his head reminding him of his cold. He dropped to the floor, frantically searching under the bed. All he saw was L's head hanging upside down from the other side.

A quick perusal of the rest of their room yielded no better results, and pulling a groggy, complaining L on a tour of the hotel did nothing more than create a rather grumpy detective.

"I must have lost it at the amusement park" Light concluded, his attitude disconsolate.

L continued to eat his cake, but he placed his unoccupied hand over Light's in what he hoped was a comforting manner.

"What am I going to do?" the boy groaned, burying his head in his hands. "My dad gave me that watch as a New Year's gift…I know he spent a load of money on it, and it means a lot to me".

He didn't mention that he had a strange, nagging sensation in the back of his head telling him that he had to find that watch, come hell or high water. It felt…undeniably important to him to have the watch back. Like some kind of extra-special security blanket.

"Well," L managed around a mouthful of strawberry, "we shall simply go back to the amusement park and retrace our steps".

"What are the chances of it being there? What if some carny stole it?"

"You are forgetting, Light-kun, that I am the top three detectives in the world. I promise you, I will locate your watch. Even if I must resort to bribing."

"My hero", Light said airly, but there was a tone of seriousness behind it as he lent in and softly kissed L's lips. The kitchen door gave a warning squeak, and the two men were on opposite sides of the breakfast table in a flat second, Light a pretty shade of pink and L uncharacteristically playing with his hair.

The rest of the team entered, and L took the opportunity to announce that they were returning to the fair to follow up on a lead, so as not to raise Soichiro's suspicions.

Therefore, it was in short time that L and Light were standing in front of the gates to the amusement park. The locked gates. It was Sunday, and the park was closed.

However, L had never been one to let rules apply, and with one expertly picked lock they were in.

It gave Light the creeps, being at the fairground when it was shut down. There were streamers and popped balloons littering the ground, and many of the rides looked positively scary sitting there without any bright lights or people surrounding them.

He made sure to stick close to L as they worked their way further into the fair grounds.

Before long, they heard some jolly laughing and music coming from a small shack in the center of the fair, and Light followed L like a child hanging on their mother's skirts, too nervous to lead the way himself.

L, though, seemed entirely unperturbed, and gave the door a good, solid knock. The laughter inside simply escalated. L tried again, knocking slightly more forcefully. Nothing.

L hated seeing good doors go to waste, so instead of going for the more brute option of kicking the door in, he simply employed his lock picking skills a second time.

The door swung open slowly, and Light got a quick impression of low lights, smoke, loud, raucous music, and lots of men in face paint. LOTS of men in face paint.

Apparently, the clowns like to party it up on their day off.

"Excuse me?" Light tried.

No one even batted a mascara-ed eye at the two ordinarily dressed men in the door way.

L decided it was time to break out his detective voice.

"EXCUSE ME!"

Light never knew L had that kind of…projection. That voice could probably stop a spaceship about to take off.

It certainly did the trick in the tiny, clown-filled, make-shift bar.

Before L spoke again, Light had the chance to observe that, while one creepy-ass clown staring at you is disturbing, 20 makes you want to find the nearest garbage can and hack up your breakfast.

"Sorry to interrupt, but my friend misplaced his watch here yesterday, and we are here to inquire after its location. A reward is being offered."

It was to L's credit that the clowns took him seriously, especially considering how drunk they were.

One hefty female clown who appeared to be the leader stood up, swaying a bit in her preposterously sized purple tutu. "I think I may know what happn'd. Our frien' Happy was crowin' real loud bout' gettin' a fine watch offa some rich, pretty fella. I'm a thinkin' he woulda meant you" here she gestured to Light, who grimaced at being forced to recall his encounter with Happy-the-innuendo-loving-clown.

"Can you direct us to Mr. Happy?" L inquired, face stoic despite his ridiculous question.

"'fraid not, sweetling. Happy just done gone down to Florida. Got hisself a job sweepin' the streets in the Magic Kingdom, he said 'fore he left."

"Thank you, ma'm, for your help".

L turned to leave, taking Light's hand and heading for the door.

"Hey! I helped ya'll! Where's my re-ward?"

L smiled icily. "Your reward is my resisting calling the police on a bunch of kleptomaniac clowns"

The woman clown snapped her mouth shut, retreating into the depths of the bar.

Once outside, Light collapsed into L's arms, relieved to be out of that situation, but feeling desolate about the loss of his watch.

"Now I'll never get it back" Light tried not to whine, but it crept into his voice regardless.

"Don't be silly, Light-kun", L replied, gently stroking the man's hair whilst rubbing small circles into the back of his sweater.

"But how? That damn creepy clown ran off to Disney with it. What are they doing hiring a guy like that, anyway?"

"I don't know, Light-kun. But the solution here is obvious."

"It is?"

"Light-kun can certainly be dense at times".

"Pot calling kettle black".

"In any case, you are failing to see the solution laid at our feet".

"Enlighten me".

"We, Light-kun, are going to Disneyworld".

A/N: That's right! I'm sending them to DISNEY!!!!! Because I wish I were there. I love Disneyworld. Ecuador would be sweet, too...*sigh* Review?
