Hikari: Sis, wake up!
Tsukiko: (wakes up and glare at Hikari) What do you want!?
Hikari: Do you want your laptop back?
Tsukiko: Yes.
Hikari: Do you want to get out of bed?
Tsukiko: No.
Hikari: To get your laptop back?
Tsukiko: ...Fine.
Hikari: Then get up. We'll get it after Breakfast.
Tsukiko: (sigh) Fine... (gets out of bed and get ready for Breakfast)
Hikari: Hurry up sis. We have to meet Mello remember?
Tsukiko: Ya ya, I'm done. Let's go.
~At the hallway~
Hikari and Tsukiko is walking down the hallway when they see Matt playing his game boy.
Hikari: Hey Matt, what are you playing?
Matt: Oh I'm just playing Tetris while I wait for Kishiko.
Tsukiko: But Kishiko is still asleep.
Matt: Then I just wait for him to wake up.
Tsukiko: ...Matt, you do know that Kishiko can easily sleep until 1 to 2pm right?
Matt: (sigh) I'll have to wake him up right?
Hikari: Yep!
Matt: Can the two of you wake him up for me?
Tsukiko: Hmm...let me think...Nope! What about you Hikari? Do you want to wake him up?
Hikari: Hmm...Nah he can do it on his own.
Mello: Just leave him here. Let's go, I'm hungry.
Mello walks away.
Tsukiko/Hikari: Bye Matt and good luck!
Run to catch up with Mello.
~At the dinning hall~
Tsukiko: (while eating) Err...Mello? Do you have anything you need to do today?
Mello: No. Why?
Tsukiko: We have something we need to do and because of the bet you'll need to follow us...
Mello: ...It's not something girly is it?
Hikari: No, sis just want her laptop back.
Mello: Roger took your laptop?
Tsukiko: Who is Roger?
Hikari: Mr. Wammy took sis's laptop.
Mello: Roger is the director of Wammy's house. No idea why he's working in an orphanage, he hate kids. And why would Wammy take your laptop?
Tsukiko: ...No reason.
Mello: (glare) Don't lie to me!
Hikari: Because sis has been hacking into L's computer.
Mello: WHAT!? HOW!?
Tsukiko: Well, you see all you need is a compute-
Mello: (glare) I know you'll need to use a computer! I'm not stupid!
Tsukiko: (roll eyes) If you would let me finish. You'll need a computer that L has connected to before, because L won't delete the connection. He'll just ask the person to destroy it.
Mello: But your what? 10? 11? Why would L contact you?
Tsukiko: L didn't contact me. He contacted my parents. They used to work for him and they didn't destroy it properly once. All I had to do was fix it and it was working as good as new.
Hikari: I'll go see if Matt has wake bro up.
~At the hallway~
Hikari: (Walks to Kishko's room when she see Kishko on the floor) So... having trouble waking my brother up?
Matt: Yes.
Hikari: Do you need some help?
Matt: No. I got it under control.
Hikari: Whatever you say. (walk away)
Matt: Wait! How do I wake him up?
Hikari: You do it like this... Bro! Wake up! (kick Kishiko)
Kishiko: (shock awake) Huh!? What!?
Hikari: There you go!
Tsukiko: (walks up to Hikari) Come on! We still have to get my laptop back!
Hikari: (sigh) Coming, coming.
Mello: Come on! Hurry Up! Or we're not going to get your laptop!
Tsukiko/Hikari: Okie doki~ Bye~ (leaving with Mello)
~Outside L's room~
Tsukiko, Hikari and Mello is staring at L door.
Tsukiko: ...So...who wants to go in?
Hikari/Mello: Not me!
Tsukiko: Oh come on! Please?
Hikari/Mello: No.
Tsukiko: (sigh) I'll have to go in myself won't I?
Hikari: Yep!
Mello: Pretty much!
Tsukiko: (sigh) Fine. Here goes nothing.
Tsukiko opens the door, goes in and close the door.
Tsukiko: (looks around) Hey~ He's not here.
?: (from behind) Who's not here?
Tsukiko: (shock, quickly turn back to see L standing her) Oh L! You scared me!
L: Who are you looking for?
Tsukiko: (frown) You. I want my laptop back.
L: I'll return it to you on one condition.
Tsukiko: What is it?
L: You will help me with my work from now on.
Tsukiko: I've been helping you for 3 years, what makes you think I'll stop?
L: Yes, but now that we have met each other I'll like you to be my partner.
Tsukiko: (rise eyebrow) Why does the great L needs a partner for?
L: Do you want your laptop back?
Tsukiko: Yes.
L: Then do we have a deal?
Tsukiko: ...Fine. I'll be your partner.
L: (hands Tsukiko her laptop) Don't tell anyone about the deal, understand?
Tsukiko: (nod) Don't tell anyone, got it. I won't tell anyone at all.
L: Good, you may leave now. And if you have time there is some cases I want you to do. I've already put a copy in your laptop. Once you've finished, send me your results.
Tsukiko: Okay. No problem. If that's all I'll be going now. (wave) Bye~
L: Good bye.
~Outside L's room~
Tsukiko: I'm back~ Did you miss me~
Hikari: No. Not really.
Tsukiko: That's mean. (pout)
Hikari: Your the mean one! We have been waiting out here for an hour! What did you do in there? Take a nap?
Tsukiko: No! It took awhile to convince L to give me my laptop back!
Mello: He actually give you back your laptop?
Tsukiko: (grin) Yep~ Took awhile, but he finally return me my laptop!
Hikari: Can we go now? It's lunch time and I'm hungry~
Mello: Whatever.
Mello walks to the dinning hall with Tsukiko and Hikari following him.
~Dinning hall~
Matt: EAT IT OR I'LL KILL YOU!
Kishiko: Ye-yes sir. (starts eating)
Tsukiko, Hikari and Mello walks in.
Tsukiko: Wow, it's not even one day and you want to kill him already.
Matt: He is very irritating.
Hikari: (grin) Yep~ Lesson learned.
Matt: (nod) I should have learned it earlier. It would have save me a lot of pain.
Mello: (grin) Oh? Sounds like someones not having any fun~
Matt: (glare) Shut up Mello. And what about you? What have you been doing?
Tsukiko: (grin) Why don't you just spend the rest of the day with us?
Matt: B-but the bet...
Tsukiko: Just forget about it. It's better if you just hang out with us before you really kill Kishiko.
Matt: Okay.
They spend the rest of the day having fun.
