A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews, guys! This next one is... crackish. I just kind of wrote whatever popped into mind.

I don't own Death Note.

3. Strange

Misa liked dreams. She almost always remembered hers. It was kind of fun, like going into another world for a few hours, where people did the strangest things.

….

There was a campfire. In the middle of the main monitor room.

"Okay," Light announced dramatically, "we are going to tell… SCARY STORIES." He shined a flashlight under his face, which conveyed nothing but deadly seriousness.

The fire spat out a marshmallow. Ryuzaki ate it, then dove in for more.

Misa giggled. "Are you okay in there?"

"I'm fine!" Ryuzaki responded giddily. "There's a fairyland in here! Come see!"

"Okay! Come on, Light!"

Light made some sort of angry fish face. "LAME."

As Misa dove into the fire, a black void seemed to consume her. She, Light, and Ryuzaki landed in the middle of a beautiful grassy field.

"Welcome!" a voice boomed. A Mochi-troll lumbered up to them. "Fresh meat!"

"NOOOOO!" Misa screamed, running blindly through the… forest? It had apparently sprung up out of nowhere.

"It's okay Misa, Ryuzaki ate it," Light called after her.

And indeed he had. Somehow, in the process, he had turned into Light's father (Misa forgot his name).

"…Yeah, I'm leaving," he announced.

"DON'T GO, RYUZAKI!" Light sobbed. "You were my idol! I wanted to be just like you!"

"I'm sorry, Light, but it is time for me to return to my home planet." And Ryuzaki/Light's father blasted off like a spaceship into the sky.

Light shrugged. "Okay, now what?"

"I don't know," Misa replied. "Oh hey, there's Matsu!"

Matsuda was wearing a lovely lime green Speedo. And a splendid waxed mustache. "Listen, Misa-Misa," he told her solemnly, kneeling down and grasping her shoulders, "understand this: if you don't get the golden key… then I can't summon earthquakes anymore."

Misa nodded eagerly. "Don't worry, Matsu. I understand, and I'll get the key."

A gust of wind swooped her up, sending her soaring away.

"I'm going to go swimming!" Light called after her, his clothing literally exploding off his body to reveal a pair of obnoxious, flowery swim trunks.

"Be home for dinner!" she called back, waving and smiling. Light saluted her.

Misa flew for quite some time, until she spotted something shiny and golden on the ground far underneath her.

"The key!" she gasped, diving straight down. But her eyes were so heavy… no, don't close! She couldn't see... she kept missing the key…

"You lose," said the key, devouring her whole.

Misa landed in a posh living room, where everyone sat around her, sipping cups of tea and wearing tuxedos. Except for Light, who was wearing some sort of brown fur suit and sleeping in front of the fire.

"Please don't feed the dog," remarked Ryuzaki. "He's ticklish."

Misa smiled at him. "Okay!"

"Could we PLEASE get to the good part?" Light's father whined, throwing his teacup against the wall.

Ryuzaki ate it. "No."

"You SUCK," Matsu told Ryuzaki. Mochi punched him.

"I still haven't forgiven you for eating me," he then reprimanded Misa.

"But it was RYUZAKI!" she protested, pointing at the now tutu-wearing detective. "Hey, that's MY tutu!"

"Not anymore," Ryuzaki sang merrily.

"GET HIM!" Misa shrieked, and they all jumped on top of the tutu thief…

…

Misa's eyes shot open.

"Aww, it was getting fun!"

….

For the rest of the day, she couldn't look at any member of the team without collapsing into a giggling fit.
