Chapter 6: Secrets revealed

Note: This is two years after the previous(told you this would happen)

Nova woke up in a cold sweet and climbed out of bed. Looking in the top bunk she saw Luna wasn't there. Curious and confused she left the room in search of her friend who always was able to cheer her up. She began wandering the halls when she heard a noise in the lounge and opened the door. Luna, Ace, and Beyond looked up at her. They appeared to be playing a game. Luna scooted over a little and patted beside her. Nova made her way across the room and sat down looking down at the card game they were playing. "Wanna play?" Ace asked then added "We just started this round".

Nova nodded and grabbed seven cards out of the Uno pile. "So, it's around 3 in the morning. What are we all doing up?" Nova asked

"Couldn't sleep" Luna told her

"Same" Ace responded

"They woke me up" Beyond said glaring at Luna who only stuck her tongue out

"What about you?" Ace asked

"I…I ummm hadabaddream" Nova said quickly

"Ok, can we please get a slower version?" Beyond asked

"I had a bad dream okay"

"Wow loser" Beyond commented and received a punch in the head from Luna and Ace "Don't you two know violence isn't the answer?"

All three laughed and continued their game. Around 3 hours later Roger walked into the room because it was strange the door was opened. He found the four sleeping on the floor. Nova was using Luna as a pillow and Beyond was somehow crammed into the corner and Luna and Ace were casually asleep on the floor. Roger let go of Near's hand and slowly woke the four who were dazed at first then realized they had fallen asleep.

Later that day all seven of their group and Linda were in BB and Ace's room. "I am really bored" Mello complained

"We all are stupid" Luna told him

"We should tell secrets to each other" Linda suggested

"That…is a really girly suggestion"

"I agree" Matt and BB said in unison

They then kicked Linda out of the room and sat awkwardly for a few minutes. Nova huffed "Nothing leaves this room"

Luna locked the door and climbed back on Ace's bed with her head hanging off. "I'm albino" Near stated

The others laughed and after a moment Mello calmed down and looked at him and retorted rudely "That is not a secret"

"Oh"

"There are people in this world who want me dead" Nova said

"Me too" Luna told her

Nova glared at her momentarily "So, are you like in the witness protection program?" Matt asked

"Yes, oh and I'm not supposed to tell anyone that" Nova said laughing

"But you just did" BB pointed out

"True to an extent, but you guys aren't just "anyone"" Nova explained

"I believe you just found a loop hole in the system" Mello told her

"Yea, but there are other loop holes" Luna said then smiled innocently when the others stared at her

"My parents committed suicide" Matt said

"My dad is the head of a mafia in L.A." Mello told them (oh come on, I had to)(could this be foreshadowing?…lol)

"Wow" BB commented

Ace looked down for a moment "I….I don't want to be L"

The others looked at him. "Good" Luna said suddenly then when all of them stared at her she continued "Don't get me wrong I don't hate L, but we should be able to decide what we want to do plus, what if we want to be our own detective, not L."

Ace smiled. "Yea, we are supposed to be the greatest detectives anyways" Mello added

Nova looked at Luna and Luna rolled her eyes then shook her head. Beyond was the only one who noticed this.

BB and Luna then locked eyes momentarily having a silent conversation. Nova cleared her throat "I'm bored let's go outside"

The others nodded and then were outside. Beyond and Luna laid on the ground beside each other looking at the sky. Beyond looked around then seeing no one close enough to hear asked her "Did you tell Nova?"

"Tell her what?" Luna asked then looked at Beyond their eyes locking again.

Luna looked down then sat up hugging her knees "Yes, I did, but only about me"

BB huffed "Why didn't you tell me you told her?"

"I thought you would be mad. We decided not to tell anyone" Luna admitted

BB laughed "Actually I kinda told Ace myself"

BB thought a moment then added "Should we tell the others?"

"Why not? I mean even if they tried to tell who would believe them"

"Okay, we'll tell them then"

Eventually the time came to go back inside and the seven found themselves and some other children in the lounge. Roger soon came in and cleared his throat "Children, the biggest test that we have here is in three days. From here on out there will be a lot of studying. This test will cover everything in your classes from the past couple of years, as well as special cases around the world that have been solved. Study hard children and do not fail ma, L, and Watari."

About 20 kids at this point fainted, and others were very pale. BB, Ace, Luna, Nova, Near, Matt, and Mello just looked around the room at the other students. Luna put her orange sucker in her mouth and continued playing her guitar, Matt just played his game, Mello ate his chocolate staring out the window at the storm, Near played with his legos, BB read his murder mystery book(snickers, another foreshadow?); while eating strawberry jam, Ace continued helping Nova color. Roger shook his head he would never understand how they could slack off and still be the smartest ones at Wammy's.

Later Beyond and Luna found themselves with the others alone in Nova and Luna's room and told them the truth. Matt, Near, and Mello didn't believe at first, until Beyond told Mello his real name is Mihael Keehl, and Luna told Matt his name was Mail Jeevas and Near his name was Nate River. "Our secrets are now revealed" Matt said

"I suppose so" Luna agreed

"Is this really a good thing or bad thing?" Nova asked

"I think it could be good, we have people to help us take some of the burdens off ourselves and we know we can trust them" Near stated

The others nodded in agreement (even Mello). Soon after that others went to bed. Ace, BB and Luna walked to the boys' room, and Luna left back to her room. The next morning Beyond knocked on the girls' door and they let him in. After an hour Luna decided to go get Ace, as it was weird he was still asleep. She knocked on the door and got no response, so she opened the door.

Note: At this point Luna, BB, and Ace are 11, Near would be 6, Mello 7, and Matt 8, Oh and Nova's 9
