So, yeah. These chapters are short cause they're just the introductions. Once we get past those, I promise plentiful chapters!
One of these doesn't belong! Can you guess why?
1)DeathNote
2)Rozen Maiden
3)A cat
If you guessed "a cat", you're right! It's cause I own a cat, but not DeathNote or Rozen Maiden.
Near gazed wondrously at the piles of toys. He was happy Mello and Matt had finally left him alone, and he decided he wouldn't report them to Roger...for now. Smiling contently, the 12 year old plunked himself down in a beanbag chair and began solving a puzzle left on display. Just as he put the last piece in it's place, he glanced up and noticed something that definitely wasn't there before; a delicate doll, sitting with such poise that Near could have mistaken it for a real lady. Shrugging, he went in search of more puzzles, but he felt uneasy knowing that the doll was watching him.
Matt sighed when he recognized the mischievous gleam in his best friend's eyes. A gleam that often resulted in Matt getting scolded by Roger for bad behavior. "Mello, where you taking me?"
"Somewhere no one's been before"
Of course. Matt should have guessed. Mello was determined to be the best at everything he did, and his inferiority to Near only fueled that desire. Clearly, they were going somewhere they could brag about later. Phew. That eliminates anything really illegal
Mello honestly had no idea where he was going; he just wanted to get far away from Near. After answering Matt's question, though, an idea sparked in his head, and he changed direction, making the redhead trip. "What was that for?"
"This way"
In mere minutes they were there. The storage area for discontinued toys.
"C'mon, let's look around!"
"Are you sure we're allowed in here?"
Mello stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face Matt, a look of annoyance on his face. "Duh, of course not. Hence why we're here" The blonde bounded off in a random direction and began tearing through boxes in hopes of finding something really cool.
Matt walked along the rows of boxes more slowly, his gaze wandering left and right. Eventually, he found himself staring at two old boxes, propped up against each other. "Hey, Mells, check this out"
"You found something?" asked Mello, holding an armful of water balloons and playing darts. He dropped his findings to the floor and examined the boxes closely. "Wow, they look pretty old...I wonder what's in 'em..." He smiled and turned to Matt, who smiled back. "Well, why don't we find out?" Each grabbing a box, they sat down beside each other. "One...two...THREE!" Mello called. The kids wrenched open the boxes with all their strength. However, the lids opened with ease and the boys fell back in surprise. Peering over the edge, Mello spat. "Those are the girliest things I've ever seen"
