Hi again guys! I told you chapter six would be coming real soon! Thanks to people who reviewed and to people who voted in the poll! Umm... Well, that's pretty much all I have to say to you people... Oh wait! Happy Fourth of July! Yay! Tonight I get to watch fireworks! Enjoy reading!

Disclaimer: I have no ownership over Death Note. If I did have some kind of ownership I would be so flippin' happy! :3

Today I woke up super early. Why did I wake up so early you may ask? Well, I was planning another attempt at drawing on Near's face, but he was already gone! Seriously? What time does my twiny wake up? You know what time I woke up six! I bet he wakes up at five. I'll get him one of these days.

Anyway, after taking a shower and changing into some of my brand new clothes, I went down to breakfast. By now it was already seven. There weren't many people in the dining hall, so that was nice. I ate scrambled eggs and bacon. Afterwards I headed to Matt and Mello's room.

I sat there on my bed quietly munching on chocolate and reading. Matt seemed to have disappeared somewhere, leaving me all alone in the room. Thinking of that boy made me get a bit frustrated. Why? Well it's because how close he's gotten to Alice! That girl is annoying. Even if she does have such a cute smile and not to mention- Wait, no! I hate that girl! I hate her almost as much as I hate that brat, Near.

The fact that L put her in the running to be his successor against me and Near is aggravating. Now, not only do I have to deal with Near, but I also have to deal with her! I bit down violently on my chocolate bar out of frustration and then continued reading.

Right then there was a knock on the door. Setting my book down I walked over to get the door. Opening it, I came face to face, well not really face to face because the pipsqueak's way shorter than me, with Alice. I just backed up a bit in shock before glaring at her.

"What?" I asked with obvious annoyance in my voice.

She just smiled and walked past me into the room. The girl looked around before taking a seat on Matt's bed. What the hell did she want? Obviously Matt wasn't here, so she should just leave. Strangely enough though, I didn't kick her out of the room. Instead, I just shut the door and went back over to my own bed so that I could get back to my book.

It remained quiet in the room for some time, and once and a while I'd glance over at Alice to see what the girl was up to. She just sat there not doing anything really. Ignore her, I thought to myself.

I did as I told myself to do and ignored her, but then I felt someone sit down next to me on my bed. Seeing that she's the only other person here it was obviously Alice who sat next to me. I still tried to ignore her though.

"What are you reading?" I heard her ask.

"It's none of your business, girly. Now just leave." I replied back harshly, perhaps too harshly. Soon I heard sniffling, as if she was crying. Turning to look at Alice, I found that she really was crying.

"M-mello, do you hate me that much?" She said with such a pained expression. Right then it felt like my heart was just shot.

I somehow couldn't respond to her question. Alice just looked at me with such a sad expression before getting up to leave, but before she could I stopped her.

"NO! I actually like you Alice!" I confessed while pulling her into a hug.

"R-really?" She questioned while looking up at me.

"Yes, I like you." After saying that I leaned down and was just about to kiss her, but then…

"Matt! Let's hang out today!" I heard Alice's voice yell cheerily.

"Shhhh! Alice I told you Mello's still sleeping, and I can't I'm busy today." I then heard Matt's voice say.

That's when I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed. It had all been a dream! I was breathing heavily and my heart was pounding in my rib cage. I had another one of those dreams about Alice. Crap! Then I remembered, said crème haired girl was in the room. I looked over at Matt and Alice to see them just staring at me with confusion.

Right now I was in Matt and Mello's room trying to convince Matt to hang out with me instead of playing all his new video games. Mello was still asleep when I first arrived, but now he was sitting up in his bed panting.

"Mello, are you okay?" I asked.

The blond male looked at me with utter horror in his face. As if he had just seen a ghost, but that quickly disappeared and was replaced with a snare. It looks like he was fine and back to normal too.

"Say Alice, I just had an idea! How about you and Mello hang out today instead? This would be a good chance for you to become better pals. Now out you two go, and don't come back to bo- I mean don't come back till you're good friends! Later!" Matt said with pushing me and Mello out the door.

Mello looked really ticked off. He was still wearing his pajamas after all. Oh, well. Some kids still wear their pajamas around all day, so it shouldn't really matter. Right then Mello began to bang on the door.

"Matt! You open this damn door!" He yelled while continuing to bang on their bedroom's door.

"Calm down a bit, Mello." Was all I could think of to say to the fuming blond.

He stopped and looked at me before sticking his hands his pj pant's pockets. It surprised me that he calmed down that easily. Still that didn't stop me from feeling that he might explode again later and take his fury out on me! Thinking about this made me feel just a bit tense. Noticing that he was still looking at me, I smiled nervously at him.

"So… Let's hang out?" I sort of asked more then said. Mello just nodded.

So what were we going to do exactly? Maybe just hang out and talk outside? That didn't seem so bad. Today did seem like a nice day and I do remember how when I first arrived here Mello and Matt were outside talking too. Let's just hope this plan was a good one.

"How about we go outside? It looks nice out today after all." I said while trying to hide the fact that I was nervous.

"Sure… Why not?" He replied back dryly.

"Okay! Hold on just a sec though! I need to get something!" I stated while walking up to Near's and mine's room. I opened the door and walked over to my bed. Underneath my bed was what I wanted to get, my violin. The case was all dusty now, seeing that I hadn't even bothered practicing this whole time I had been here. Anyway, I retrieved what I needed and then exited my room.

Mello's face looked utterly confused. "Why did you go into Near's room?"

"I sleep in there." I stated while dusting my violin's case off.

"What? In there? W-with Near?" Mello questioned with shock evident in his voice.

"Yup! I always sleep with Near!" I said happily. Mello looked horrified by what I had just said. That's when I remembered the little misunderstanding with Matt a few weeks ago.

"N-no! It's not what you're thinking! When I said I sleep in there, I ment it's my room too because I share the room with Near! We don't do anything like what you're thinking! Remember how on my first night here that I was in Near's room too! So don't think anything dirty!" I shouted, my face completely red from the embarrassment of the same misunderstanding that had happened with Matt happening again.

"Oh, umm… Well, that makes sense… Anyway, let's just go outside!" Mello said while walking away.

Outside the two of us found a nice shady tree to sit under. For a while we sat there quietly before Mello finally started talking. "So, what's in the case?" He asked without even looking at me.

"Oh, it's my violin. I thought I'd practice today since I haven't practiced in such a long time…" I quietly said while opening the case to reveal the violin I had received from Watari.

"Play me something." Mello practically ordered me.

I nodded, but first I had to tune the thing. It took me a while, but I finally got it in tune. Looking over at Mello I saw him completely focused on me with such a serious look on his face. Taking a deep breath, I brought the stringed instrument up to my chin and soon began to play Ave Maria. I felt rusty and a bit embarrassed to be playing again.

When I finished I had expected Mello to say something about me sucking, but instead he clapped a bit before saying that I was a great violinist. It surprised me to no end that he had actually said something nice to me. Snapping out of my shock, I was about to put my violin away when I noticed a note there. The note was signed L.

I just stared at it in awe. L had placed a note in there and I didn't even know. I had received this violin well over a month ago and I hadn't even known!

"Alice, what're you looking at?" Mello asked while trying to peak over my shoulder. Before he could I placed my violin back over the note and shut the case.

"Nothing, I just zoned out a bit… So Mello, I know you like chocolate. Do you have any with you?" I asked trying to change the subject. I would have time to read the note later.

"Yeah, see," he started while pulling a chocolate bar out of his pj pants, "did you want some?"

"Yes! I would love some!" I stated while trying to grab at it.

"Not so fast, girly! First I want you to apologize once more for the time you stole those pancakes from me." He said while holding the bar of chocolately goodness away from me.

"I knew it!" I yelled as I jumped up and pointed at him. "I knew you were still hung up on that!"

Standing up the older blond teen said, "yes, I am! Now apologize again to me, and perhaps I'll give you some of my chocolate bar."

So this was why he was always so mean! Oh well, anything to bury the hatchet and to get something sweet! I took hold of Mello's free hand with both my hands and looked him directly in the eyes. After a few seconds I apologized saying, "Mello, I'm truly and sincerely sorry for eating those pancakes all those weeks ago. Please forgive me so that we could be friends… And so that you can give me chocolate."

I smiled up at the blondie. All he did was stare at me blankly before pulling his hand away and looking away. I was about to complain that he should keep up his end of our bargain, but then he handed me the whole chocolate bar.

"What?" Was all I could say in my confusion.

"I don't want it anymore. I have to go now. Later." He then ran off without looking back.

I stood there completely perplexed by the whole situation. What had gotten into him? Was he mad at me again? I apologized! Just like he told me too! It was weird though, because he looked kind of red in the face. Hmm… Well, now that I think of it, it's kind of hot out, reader. Perhaps the heat had just gotten to him. Sighing, I picked up my violin case and walked back inside.

Now I was back in my room alone. Munching on the chocolate bar Mello had given me, I opened my violin case again. I then removed my violin and set it on my bed. Taking a deep breath, I picked up the note and unfolded it. It read:

Dear Alice,

As of right now you are busy sleeping on the plane ride to England. By the time you actually read this you'll be at Wammy's House hopefully enjoying your time there. I had heard from your brother before that you are a great violinist. So here is a gift from me and Watari. I hope you continue to practice despite not being able to perform any more. Also, I have the feeling you'll be missing me after I leave you at Wammy's. That is why I'll tell you a little secret. One month from now I will be returning to Winchester, England on July 14, but I will not be visiting Wammy's House. If you want to see me then you'll just have to find me. I hope to see you then.

L

"L will be here on July 14…" I whispered to myself.

I folded the note back up and placed it and my violin back into the violin case. Getting up off my bed, I walked out of the room only to run into Near. He looked positively shocked to see me, but I only gave him a blank look. My mind was still focused on what the note had said.

"Alice, are you okay?" Near asked me in his usual monotone.

I looked at him and this time he didn't try to escape my gaze, but I could care less about that at the moment. Placing my hands on his shoulders I asked my own question instead of answering his own. "What's the date today?"

"Why do you ask?" Was what he replied.

"Just tell me." I said in a dead serious tone. Part of me was afraid, afraid that I had already missed July 14 and my only chance to see L again.

"It's the thirteenth of July." Near finally said. After that I let go of him and I sighed in relief. I hadn't missed the day. I still had a chance to see L, but that meant I was going to have to go and try and find him tomorrow.

That's it! Stay tuned for chapter seven! It will be coming really soon too! Yay! Quick updates! xD Like always please review! It really does motivate me to update faster. Okay, later! Chapter seven coming soon!
