"Um well I think I should get going," Maya said, baffled by Dave's behavior but she couldn't actually say anything to him since he was just a baby. (who could do things no normal people could do, like slap L in the face )

"As I said earlier Watari I cannot take another student, one is quite enough," L said and took a seat on the couch in a weird way, as though nothing had happened.

Watari relieved that L had not taken serious offence from Dave's behavior, said," but L she is the perfect candidate to become your successor."

" I am not questioning the fact that she is not a perfect candidate to become my successor, she can train with my other successors."

" Then why are you training me personally," Light asked, the image of L getting slapped by Dave still fresh in his mind, maybe he would actually begin to like Dave from now on regardless of the endless sufferings the baby had bestowed upon him (although before Dave was not even a year old).

"Your case is different then Maya you are actually appropriate to become L in more then being smart then others and you would be the first one to take my place if something happens and you are also going to help me with some cases especially this one which I am currently working -,"

"So you are not taking Maya as a student because," Light asked raising his eyebrows.

"Because it takes more then brains to become my true successor."

"So you think I am too immature to become your successor? Then I guess you are pretty mature," Maya said coolly to L who had a lollypop's stick sticking out of his mouth.

"L you are a total idiot-," Light began furiously but was cut off by L.

"It is an exact question of maturity or immaturity it is just that I do not want some air headed girl to become my student," L said clearly insulting Maya.

Maya giving one look at L calmly went and picked up the huge cake Watari had just brought in on a trolley.

"Then I will take my leave," Maya said with twinkling eyes and went away with Dave before L could say anything or Light could smirk or Watari would unsuccessfully try to hide his smile.

" This cake is delicious," Maya said digging in the cake she had taken from L's room.

" Yes it has an aura of victory around it so it tastes wonderful even if it is not a chocolate cake," Mello said chomping on the cake.

Matt nodded at Mello's comment his eyes never wavering from the game console in his hands.

"Why is the reason that L is not training us personally really that we are not serious enough, I could say he does not want to train Mello, but Maya too since she is now the first successor," Near calmly stated, a fork in one hand and a robot in the other.

"Hey watch what you are saying L would have taken me in before he even though about taking you as his personal student," Mello glowered at the albino sitting next to him.

"I did not meant any offence to you Mello I just stated the facts about you being a bit too emotional and having anger issues."

"I still can't understand why Maya too, but I guess everything that L does have a point right, besides this way she can hang out with us when we train," Matt piped in before Mello could make a reply to Near's 'statement of facts' as he put it.

"Yeah and we get to eat this cake," Mello said cutting another slice of cake.

Maya got up quietly so not to wake Dave up and started getting ready for her first day at the high school.

At the dining hall she saw many children having breakfast quite a lot of them raised their heads and gave Maya an interested look. Maya sat down next to Matt who was eating at top speed and Mello who looked pissed off about something.

"Why are you eating like that and why Mello is looking so angry," Maya asked as Near came to sit with them.

"I am just a little excited at going to a school for the first time I have never went before so I am very excited and as for your second question Mello doesn't usually get up this early but Watari was extra hard on him as he woke him up today, apparently we can't slack off in this sort of school."

"Oh," was all Maya could say looking at the time.

Meanwhile

Light entered L's room for his daily tutoring to find L in a very bad mood.

"What is wrong L you are not the type who gets emotions get in his way."

"Emotions get their way whenever cake is involved, Light-kun should be able to understand since he could say the same for his hair."

"It is very unlikely of you to actually make fun of somebody so you really must be angry but over a piece of cake that is simply ridiculous, Watari could easily have baked you another cake."

"That was not just a piece of cake and Watari is not very willing to bake me another cake he said that it was my punishment, but why such a fierce sort of punishment."

"Fine if he is not baking you any cake then don't take your anger on me just go and buy another cake."

"The other cakes are not of my caliber, I the greatest detective in the world simply cannot eat the common cakes some bakery around the corner bakes," L replies in his typical monotone.

"Fine then sulk for the rest of your like for that stupid piece of cake I am going for a bit of fresh air." Light went away and left a sulking L behind
