"Ok children, special announcement from L today" Roger said, propping a laptop up on the front of the desk, displaying the L symbol.
"Ok children, I have a very special announcement to make" the synthetic voice of L said "umm, Roger please set up the web cam so I can see the children"
"Right, L Sir" Roger said, plugging the webcam in and setting it up.
"Ok. The guy who looks like a white version of me is Near right? Hmm, he was a likely candidate but he looks about eight. Way to young. Who is that girly guy?" L said.
"L Sir that is Mello" Roger replied.
"Ok. He looks interesting. He's eating chocolate. I like that so I'm gonna choose him."
"Right L Sir, choose him for what"
"Well, I'm retiring. Mello will be the new L from now on."
"L Sir, is this some kind of joke."
"No. Make arrangements for Mello to be sent to Japan immediately. Watari will meet him there."

"Matt dear, I have some very exciting news" Mello said, pulling his clothes on.
"Oh what is it Melly" Matt said, pulling his socks up.
"I'm the new L, Matt dear. That Near kid didn't stand a chance. So tomorrow were going to Japan"
"Oh, Melly you know what this means. I'll be able to get the newest games months early!" Matt said, quivering with excitement.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Oh please do get that Matt dear" Mellow said
"Ok Melly" Matt said, getting up to answer the door. It was Near, who stood there looking up expectantly.
"Umm, is Mello here?" Near said.
"Oh it's that Near kid" Matt called back to Mello.
"Umm, I was just wondering if you guys would take me with you to Japan. I would go myself but I've never made travel arrangements on my own" Near said, fiddling with his hair.
"No way" Matt said, slamming the door in his face.
"Oh Matt Dear now that that's out of the way, let's play some Mario Party. I'll be Princess Peach" Mello Said.
"I'm Yoshi" Matt said
"13 year old Sayu Yagami dies in traffic explosion" was the headlining news article the next day.
Police Chief Soichiro Yagami retired early due to his daughter's death and the police force were left needing a new leader.
They decided to have a vote. Aizawa was convinced he would win. After all he was the hardest worker out of them. Most people had elected to not be included in the vote so it was just Aizawa vs. Matsuda. That idiot doesn't stand a chance, he thought.
He was soon to be proven wrong however when the results showed that Matsuda had actually been chosen. Maybe he was more likeable. Or maybe the other officers just saw it as an opportunity to slack off.
