"Light…" the tall man sighed dramatically, turning his head to look at Kira. "What have you done?"

"You don't like it, Ryuuzaki? It's okay, it's fine. We can go to another place…"

L held up a hand, interrupting the male. "Just give me an explanation why you brought me here," he declared with an amused expression written on his face, though oblivious to the brown-haired man.

Light twitched, playing with his hands which were now sweating profusely. Was he angry? Did he not like this place? He gazed at the detective with wide, beady-looking eyes. "I just thought the theme park would be fun…for you, Ryuuzaki."

"Ha...ha." L emphasized the two syllables. "Whatever. Let's go. I wouldn't want the tickets to go to waste," he mumbled, looking away awkwardly. Light beamed, clearly proud of his achievement.

The theme park was beautiful; stunning, even. Majestic golden banners and shiny glitter littered the place, adding a touch of elegance to the already bright area. The sound of footsteps could be heard from a distance by little children running down and about, followed by screams of excitement and glee. Young couples, both old and young were seen walking about with wide grins plastered on their cheerful faces. Light smiled upon seeing the happy sight. Time for plan B, he thought, casting a sneaky look at Lawliet as they walked towards the stand giving out directory maps. L turned suddenly to look at him, a confused look on his pale frame. Light simply smiled at him.

After collecting one map each, they sat down on a nearby bench and scrutinized them carefully, noting where they wanted to go.

"Hn. I want to go to the haunted house first, Yagami," L stated childishly, maintaining a squatting position as he sat, ignoring the looks of curious by-passers. Light raised his eyebrows.

"Call me Light, L. Enough with formalities. After all, the point of visiting the theme park is to get closer and to know each other better, am I right?" Light exclaimed, examining the map closely. "Let's see…the haunted house is not far from here. After that, we can visit the shop selling sweet food and rest for a bit. How does that sound?"

L smiled mischievously, picking at his hair. "Sounds great. But I want a strawberry tart after that," he demanded. "And I also want a chocolate milkshake topped with fresh whipped cream and four plates of vanilla cream-coated ice-cream cake." He eyed Light with an all too innocent look, his eyes silently challenging the latter.

Damn it, L! Trying to test me? I won't fall for it.

"Sure thing," Light replied, smiling. "Not a problem."

Together, they walked towards the queuing-line of the haunted house. The distance between them was reasonable- not too close yet not too far. They were like normal friends, out for a walk in a park. Light marveled at the awkwardness they felt, despite the fact that they were childhood friends. He doesn't trust me yet, he thought silently. Ryuk followed behind them, his eyes narrowed.

"I feel like wallpaper," he drawled. Light ignored him.

Finally, they came to a stop in front of the desired station. There were many people queuing for the haunted house ride, and it was going to take a while before their turn came. They joined the line and stood there awkwardly, tension in the air.

"So Light…" L began, watching people enter the house. "What have you been up to lately?"

Translation: What are you planning to do after the Kira incident?

"Oh nothing," the man replied with a casual smile. "I've been studying about science since it looks interesting. And I've began to pick up the hobby of writing, too."

Ryuuzaki blinked, not looking at him. "Oh I see," he said blandly. "Up to the old stuff again, Yagami?"

In other words, 'Are you still playing God again?'

"…Not anymore," Light replied, crinkling his forehead. "I've taken on new hobbies that interest me. What about you, Ryuuzaki?"
Still researching about me, L?

L let out a cough. "Um, no. I don't see the point of taking up a hobby, since I'm already that busy."

Not for the moment, temporarily. I will give you a chance to prove yourself.

"…But Misa's concerts interest me quite a bit," he admitted softly, nodding his head. "Hm."

As soon as he said that, an image of a mini-Matsuda popped up in his head. 'Ryuuzaki! Misa's on the top of the popularity poll again!' The mini figure danced around stupidly.

L cringed. "Shut up, Matsuda," he muttered inaudibly.

"What was that?" Light spun towards him upon hearing the grumble.

"Uh, nothing. Matsuda's acting stupid again," L replied smugly, watching the mini-Matsuda in his head shed a waterfall of tears. Light frowned in confusion, not understanding the detective who was now picking at his hair.

"…Well, that's his specialty," he cracked a smile, still confused of the situation. L let out an amused snort, and the tension between them cleared considerably.

"Next pair!" a voice rang out and Light raised his head.

"Our turn, Ryuuzaki!" He exclaimed, a hint of nervousness present in his voice as they walked into the creepy old mansion. L snickered to himself.

"Scared, Light? To think you were a k…"

"Shut up," Light growled, a faint red blush on his cheeks. L chuckled as they were ushered into a small and cramped water boat. The surroundings were really dark and humid, and they found themselves stumbling and fumbling around for their seats in the sinister-looking boat. They were both surprised that it was actually a water ride. They had thought it was just like any ordinary haunted house where you had to walk by yourself and explore the rooms. And of course, get the living daylights scared out of your body.

"What a surprise, I didn't think this would be a water ride," L wondered aloud, rubbing his chin. Light just nodded. They were seated quite close together, their feet touching and their faces just inches away from one another due to the cramped space the boat had to offer. Light decided to take no notice of it, but internally, he was blushing inside. But the close-contact did nothing to comfort him as he stared at the gloomy surroundings, his throat dry. Ryuk hovered above them, watching the duo's interactions in silent amusement.

"Why, Light, you seem less chatty now. What's wrong?" L questioned, his tone mocking. "Do you want to back out of the ride? It's not too late…oh dear, I think it is…" he drifted off as the boat started moving across the bumpy waters. "Oh no!"

Soft, sinister and haunted music began to play in the distance, followed by wicked cries as the boat advanced towards an ancient-looking entrance with a rickety unstable sign saying 'Welcome to Hell' hanging on top of it. It made creaking noises as the boat went under it.

Light's eyes narrowed, only thin slits showing. "What's wrong with being less chatty? Can't a man enjoy his ride in silence?" he challenged, his anger getting the better out of him. He held on to the drenched metal bars alongside the boat as it rocked rather unsteadily tightly until his knuckles turned white.

"My, Raito, you get riled up so easily," Ryuuzaki commented mockingly, his eyes gleaming. "I think you're scared. You must be, judging from your actions, speech, movement and thoughts."

"I'm not scared, Ryuuzaki," Light hissed, his nervousness showing. "I'm perfectly calm, thank you very much."

Wait…did he just say he can read my thoughts?

…

…

…

"WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK!" a voice hollered as the boat advanced down a tall and steep waterfall. "FUCKKK THISS SHITTTT! GET ME OUT OF HERE! THE SKULL'S STARING AT ME! IT'S GOING TO BITE MY HEAD OFFF! OW! FUCKKKK! I JUST SHAT IN MY PANTS DAMNIT…!"

"So Light, as I was saying…" L started, chewing on a strawberry tart as he eyed him with an amused look planted on his face. "Did you enjoy the magnificent ride?"

Light chattered, his teeth clicking against one another as he wrapped the jacket given to him by L around himself tightly. "T-t-t-that w-w-was n-n-n-not b-b-b-b-a-ad," he managed, his eyes void of emotion. It was as if he had turned into a robot. Ryuk laughed maniacally upon seeing this, occasionally slapping his hip or thigh as he rolled onto the floor and screeched hysterically.

"I'm glad you did." L responded with a grin. Savoring every mouthful of his strawberry tart, he licked his fingers which were covered with whip cream rather seductively, sucking on his fingers. Unbeknownst to him, Ryuk had taken a picture of him doing so with his Shinigami camera.

"Better show Light what he missed later," he cackled joyously to himself.

A few moments later, Light snapped back to reality and he stopped shivering or mumbling to himself. He sipped on a cup of hot chocolate and looked around, wondering where they were. They were sitting quite far from the dreaded haunted house and right next to the Sweets store, must to his relief. Turning to Ryuuzaki, he observed the man as he stuffed another mouthful of cake into his mouth, chewing rather enthusiastically.

"…Where shall we go after this, L?" Light asked, his voice relatively calm, but there was still a sense of urgency to it. He was still shaken after the ride, though not visibly so now. He was drenched from head to toe like a sponge soaked in a bucket of water.

"I see you've regained your sanity, Yagami-kun. That's very great," L said, not taking his eyes off the cake he now held in his palm.

"Spare me the sarcasm," Light rolled his eyes, shaking his head from side to side to get rid of water droplets. "Where shall we go next?"

"Um, why don't you decide? I'm busy now."

Sighing, Light dug the map out of his pocket and studied it carefully, considering where to go. They should go for a gentle ride now, since the haunted house already gave them quite a scare. Well, gave him quite a scare. Throughout the ride, Ryuuzaki showed no emotion at all, even when the most scary part of the ride commenced. He simply stared at the object of horror without any emotion on his solemn face. Not a single word was uttered from him while Light himself was seen screaming at the top of his lungs and bawling like a little child. Embarrassed, Light shook his head as he thought back to the haunted house ride. At one point in the ride, he almost peed his pants. That was how scared he was, much as he hated to admit it. L had to literally drag him out of the boat. He shivered.

"How about the Merry-Go-Round, Ryuuzaki?" Light suggested, his head spinning.

"No, I want the Pirate Ship ride."

"…" Light remained silent, unsure of what to reply. Was L mad? Was he planning to kill him? He was about to protest when he suddenly remembered that he was doing this to gain back L's trust and respect. What if L decided against helping him? He already knew that he was Kira. Light sighed and decided to give in this time round.

"Whatever you want, Ryuuzaki."

That concludes the chapter!

R-E-V-I-E-W!
