Matt spotted an opening in the trees. Home free! Matt shouted happily in his mind. There was no way he would shout anything in this forest. The lighter might have kept Light preoccupied for a while but he knew the centaur would get bored of was so lost in thought, he tripped over something. Something big. When he hit the ground, he rolled and looked accusingly at the thing that tripped him, ready to flee as soon as he figured out whether it was a threat or not. It looked like a white rock. The readhead tilted his head then jumped as it started moving.
"Hello Mail..." The rock had uncurled itself from the batt. It was Near. Matt glared at him.
"You abandoned me Near!" He snapped. "You left me there for the centaur to fucking rip me to shreds!"
"I'm.. Not a fighter Matt... I am a thinker." When Matt continued to glar at the faun Near continued. "I really am sorry Matt." He did look sincere. Matt sighed.
"It's fine... Let's just get going." The two rushed out of the remaining forest. In one piece luckily. The two found them self in a village a few hours later.
"This place is kind of... Dumpy?" Matt said, looking at the decipated old buildings. "It looks like nobody even cares about their homes."
"This village is a poor one." Near stated. "Poverty has hit them worse than most villages. But these are proud people. Spending more money at the bar than anything."
"So how are we going to get to the next town?" Matt asked, not seeing much past the town that could be an obsticle. And in his video games, that was a sign of great challenge. He knew there must be something to it. Wait... When had he started thinking of this as a video game? Well, not much to change about that. If thinking like that helped, he would.
"We must cross the desert on horseback." Near pointed at the stables of a dirty old building. "But that would cost money..."
"Then we need to get some money." Matt walked into the building next to the stables. A sign read 'Hotel and bar.' Matt immediantly bumped into a large, fat, man.
"Hello hello!" The man said. "I am Samuel! Would you like to stay the night here?"
"Actually, we were looking for a job." Matt said. "Have anything we could do?" He waited as Samuel thought for a minute.
"We need a singer. And a server but we only let women serve us food." He said. "Could you handle singing?" Matt hadn't been one to sing. He was downright afraid to sing on stage. Mello had told him his voice was good when the blonde caught him singing in the shower but... And once again, Mello. Forget my stage fright! I need to find Mello. I need to tell him how I feel! Then we can find a way home. Matt nodded.
"I will sing and.. I know someone who can serve." The redhead smirked. Near would get punished for abandoning him in the forest.
"Great! I'll even let you have a room free. You start tonight!" Samuel walked Matt up to a room that would be his and Near's. Near looked at Matt once the man had left.
"Who is going to be the server?" he asked. His eyes widened as Matt held out a dress he had found in the closet. He had no time to run before he was tackled and the thing was thrown on him. Matt stepped back and smirked.
"What a pretty lady you are Near. Now for your hair and makeup." The redhead had found some makeup and a hair brush in the bathroom. soon, he had Near looking like a woman. By then, it was time to go down to work.

Matt looked around as he stood where he would sing, on a makeshift stage. He just hoped it wouldn't crumble beneath him. He smirked as he spotted Near getting hit on by some guys. The albino faun shot him a glare from across the room. Matt sighed. It was time for him to sing. Thankfully, he had a song he'd sing.
"I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me.
But so far has not been good
It's been shitty
And I feel awkward as I should.
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought of you and me.
Well I am imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place."
Matt looked over to see Near listening to his singing. People were not throwing things at him so he assumed he didn't suck that much.
"Well I'm not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still.
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through.
Me on my way to you."
Matt was definately not thinking of this place or anyone here. Not. He was thinking of his blonde. The one he had learned to love. The one that should be by his side. That beautiful silky blonde hair. He knew it was silky since he had touched it while Mello was asleep one time. Those beautiful blue orbs. Like the ocean.
"I hold out for one more drink
Before I think
I'm looking too desperately.
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one.
This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks.
That will be cool with me.
Well, I'm still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place!
Well I'm not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still.
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through.
Me on my way to you."
Everyone seemed happy with him singing. Although none of them had ever heard a song like that, they still enjoyed it.
"Well I'm not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still.
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through.
Me on my way to you.
Well I'm not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still.
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through.
Me on my way to you.
You'll probably move right through.
Me on my way to you.
You'll probably move right through.
Me on my way to you."
Matt sighed happily after the song. He ended up singing a few more songs until he was finally allowed to take a break. They offered him some alchohol and he drank it happily. By the time him and Near got back to thier room, they were both drunk out of their passout in a heap on the bed and Near, after changing out of those clothes he hated, and washing off any makeup, fell asleep on the foot of the bed.

Mello sighed as he woke up. It was in the afternoon, he knew it from the light fading through the window. The only window that was in that dark room. Mikami had left the room, going down to eat. All the blonde was able to eat was so me bread and water. He was sick of bread and water. Mello played some tic-tak-toe with himself, which wasn't any fun.
"I NEED to get out of here and find Matt." He said to himself. "Oh please, Matt. Even though I sound like some gay princess in distress, save me." Mello stared at the ground as a single tear drop hit the floor.
