(Title too hard to convert)

Lace up your shoes : Eh Oh Eh Ohhh : Here's how we do : Run, baby, run : Don't ever look back : They'll tear us apart : If you give them the chance…

"Mello, can I come in?"

"Sure, whatever."

Near walked silently into Mello's room.

"Is there something you want?" Mello asked as he was digging through his closet.

"I see you're getting ready for Matt?"

"Duh."

Don't say we're not meant to be : Run baby run : Forever we'll be : You and me : You and me : You and me.

"Near, can you go put the song back on?"

"Uh, sure." Near walks over to the stereo and presses the back button to restart the song.

"Thanks." Mello pulls out a shirt and throw it on his bed.

Check yes Juliet : Are you with me? : Rain is falling down on the sidewalk : I won't go until you come outside.

"So what are you going to wear?"

"Don't you see me looking through my closet?"

"You don't have to be mean."

"Well don't ask stupid questions.

"What time is he supposed to get here?"

"….Around noon-ish."

"You don't know do you?"

"Shut up. He's going to call."

Meanwhile

"Where is that contact?" Matt was looking through his cell phone contact list.

Back to Near and Mello

"He's going to call eventually."

Near sat quietly in a chair and just listened to the music playing on Mello's stereo. Songs continued to play one after another. Soon the songs began to come to an end.

"Why the hell hasn't he called?" Mello was storming around his room

"Maybe his phone is dead."

"His phone is always charged. He promised me it would always be just in case I wanted to call him."

"Maybe he's just running late."

"Then he would've called!"

Near remained silent.

"I'm…sorry."

"It's ok."

"Why don't you just call him?"

"I…just can't."

Near was about to say something when the sound of a car pulling up was heard.

Mello's attention was caught first to the sound. "Get out!"

Near quietly but quickly moved out of the room.

It only took Mello a few minutes to change and brush down his hair. By the time he was done, he ran out of his room.

"Mello." Near tried to grab his arm before he reached the front room.

Mello brushed off Near's hands and continued walking towards the front room. He walked without missing a beat and then when he reached the room, there he was. Watari, holding a cake for L.

"Oh, hi."

Mello remained silent.

"Do you need something Mello?" L took the cake.

"It's uh, nothing." Mello walked back towards his room.

"I tried to tell you." Near stood in his doorway.



Mello continued towards his room, and then silently closed the door behind him.

"Mello?"

Mello slumped down right there on his side of the door.

There was a soft knock at the door.

"Go away Near."

"It's not Near."

Mello quickly jumped up at the sound of the voice and threw his door open. "Matt!"

"Hey Mello."

Mello quickly jumped and threw his arms around Matt's neck, embracing him in a hug.

"Did you really miss me that much?"

"Duh!" Mello removed his arms and looked at matt.

"What, is there something on me?"

"No it's not that, but there seems to be something different."

"What do you-"

"Matt hunny?"

That voice was all too familiar to Mello. At that moment he heard that voice a girl wearing a tank top, jeans, basic sneakers, and had a curly style blonde hair came walking down the hall.

"Oh, hey."

"That weird guy eating the cake scares me."

"That's L hunny."

"Oh. And who's this?"

"Oh, this is Mello. Mello this is Christie. She's my girlfriend."

Mello was filled with rage at the very sight of her, but after hearing the word girlfriend, he almost flipped. Clenching his fist and teeth he merely said "Nice to meet you."

Christie seemed to control her anger a lot better than Mello. "Hello"

There was an awkward silence, which was broken by Watari calling out to everyone "Dinner Time."
