"did I actually fall asleep last night?..." Penelope yawned and picked her head up. She was lying on the divano successivo to a snoring Matt. Penelope jabbed the boy in the stomach but he didn't move. Mail had always been a very heavy sleeper so being poked and prodded didn't wake him.
"Matt... I have to leave. And go to work. And meet L" Penelope squealed happily. She was very excited about getting to meet L again and to see him for the first time.
"..." Matt continued to snore loudly. Penelope decided to play a little prank on him and pulled a pad of paper out. The girl Snaked her hand into Matts vest and tried to pull his PSP out. But the secondo she grabbed a hold of the device Matts other hand shot out.
"I would not touch that if I were you." he smiled. Penelope ripped the black square out of the boys pocket and went running off.
"AH! GET BACK HERE! I NEED THAT!" Matt shrieked and went fumbling after her. Mail followed the girl around through the penthouse, sprinting as fast as he could. Penelope colomba onto the letto with hopes off sliding off it to continue the foot race but snagged and got stuck on the fabric. Matt grabbed her legs before she could crawl off. He quickly jumped on superiore, in alto of her and pinned Penelope down.
"GAH! Stop Matt stop!" she giggled. Mail reached over and pulled the black PSP out of her hand.
"and now I get my revenge." he detto deviously. Penelope began to struggle and pull out of his grip. But Matt held her down. He pulled his goggles off and smiled.
"no! No revenge! What are te gonna do?!" Penelope protested. She was still laughing and giggling inaudibly.
"what do te want me to do?" Matt laughed.
"release me!" Penelope cried. Matt did as he was told and let go of the girl. But quickly after that he started to tickle the girl.
"stop! stop! Hahahahahah!" Penelope screamed. Matt continued to tickle Penelope while she laughed hysterically.
"stop! Stop!" the girl cried and pushed mails hands away.
"nu-Uh! I get revenge!" Matt detto playfully and continued to tickle Penelope.
"please STOP!!!" Penelope giggled crazily.
"on one condition!" Matt replied, still tickling the girl.
"what? I'll do anything!" Penelope shrieked over frenzy laughs.
"kiss me." Matt smirked. Penelope grabbed Matts head and pulled it down to hers. She pressed the boys lips to hers and then released him. Matt stared at her, his mouth hanging open slightly.
"umm... I-I h-have to go t-to work n-now..." Penelope stuttered, also shocked da the kiss.
"y-yeah. G-go ahead. I'll be hanging around back here. Call me, if te need anything. o want anything. o just want to say hi." Matt fumbled. He clumsily pulled himself off the girl and stumbled off to the bathroom. Penelope, still shocked, hauled herself up. She grabbed her mantello off the cappotto hanger and climbed out the window. Penelope pulled a slip of paper with the address of the hotel she needed to meet the team in on it. She punched the two and from locations in on. Her phone and then scurried off to the location.
"alright, just slip past the guards and go to room one seventeen. Then te meet L!" Penelope whispered to herself. She was perched above a large doorway arch and was contemplating how to pass the door guards that checked your name of a list. Penelope scanned the rest of the hotel.
"there! An open window. I just crawl in there and then weave my way to one seventeen." she smiled. The girl grabbed a ledge just above her and began to creep over to her goal. Slowly an carefully, Penelope crawled over to the window and hopped inside.
"no ones here? Perfect!" Penelope cried and went shooting through the hotel room. She opened and then slammed the large door behind her. Penelope checked the door number '214' it read. Penelope took of to the right, following the decreasing numbers. She ran for a few minuti until she reached her final destination, room one seventeen. Penelope tested the door, locked. She knocked loudly until a bright and happy matsuda swung it open.
"HI!" he cried.
"matsuda! Can I come in?" Penelope smiled.
"yeah yeah, please do! L is waiting just inside." matsuda detto sunnily. Penelope blew past the man and jumped inside.
L sat directly in front of her, in his signature stance. Penelope breathed in so quickly she choked on her own spit. The sixteen anno old started coughing and hacking to try and dislodge the saliva.
"are you... Okay?" the man looked up. Penelope started hacking harder and pointed at the man excitedly.
"who are you?" another man appeared behind Penelope. His name was Aizawa the only man on yagamis team with an Afro.
"I-hack-am-cough-Penelope." she was cut off da a series of choking breathy sighs and coughs.
"seriously, are te alright?" L asked. He raised his eyebrow and bit into his cake.
"I-hack-I'm fine. OH MY GOD! YOUR MOTHER F****** L!" Penelope shrieked. She was absolutely starstruck and completely disoriented. L was the man she had trained to become and risk her life to meet.
"yes I am. But te may call me L." the man shoved a fork in his mouth.
"I think I'm gonna faint! It's always been my biggest dream to meet the three most famous detectives ever and now I have!" Penelope swooned.
"oh, so you've met denuve and coil?" L Asked.
"your so silly! Of course not! te are coil and denuve and L! Your the three most awesomest detectives ever!" Penelope cried. L snapped his mouth shut, he was awestruck da the fact a random sixteen anno old could figure that out.
"I see, your not the average sixteen anno old are you?" L replied.
"no! Of course not silly! I'm only the best FBI agent! Your so funny! I Amore YOU." Penelope grabbed L and snuggled his cold body.
"hi, I'm light yagami." a seventeen anno old extended his hand.
"I just wanna take te and snuggle your adorable L-ness into oblivion! Oh, hi im Penelope." the girl was still clinging to L's arm.
"would te please get off me?" L asked.
"but why? Your so soft and cute! Like a puppy... A really smart totally sexy puppy." Penelope protested.
"o-okay then..." light detto and wondered away shaking his head.
"I will allow te to 'snuggle' my arm later if te release it now." L replied calmly.
"REALLY? yay! Ohmygod!" she blurted.
"now, everyone assemble here." L called. Matsuda, Aizawa, chief yagami, mogi, and light yagami all crowded around the couch.
"what is it L?" yagami asked.
"I'd like te all to meet Penelope. she's a certified FBI agent that's going to be helping us with the Kira case. Penelope will mainly be observing and occasionally covering as a friend of misa's. But, if she has any ideas o thoughts, she will segnala them. Now I know te aren't fan of FBI agents but... Penelope is... Very different from misora o penber. In fact, and I hate to reveal this to you, she was one of my main successors. She nearly managed to surpass mello. But complications happened and she ran off to here. Anyway, Penelope will be helping us and she is a very very important part of our team. I'll expect te all to give her the utmost respect." L said, toting with a slice of cake.
"successor? Her?" light asked, surprised.
"well yeah! I only trained for years to become him. Mmmm..." Penelope took hold of the mans arm again.
"I know she seems childish and stupid, but don't underestimate her. Penelope is very smart and agile. for example, how did te get here?" L asked.
"childish and stupid?! Herr..." Penelope grumbled. "I got her da free running and scaling this entire building! Thank te very much!"
"and no one saw you?" chief asked.
"no. People only look upward 2% of the time. So I was virtually invisible. Plus if anyone did notice, which I doubt, I pull out this handy dandy badge," penelope ripped a badge out of her pocket. "and it erases everything."
"she's right, no ones going to mess with a certified FBI agent." light interjected.
"so there we go. She's a very smart individual." L mumbled.
"I guess so. Well then, welcome to the team Penelope. Do te have a last name?" yagami smiled.
"thanks and no I don't. At least not that I know of. I was abandon right after birth." Penelope grimaced.
"no way! Your THE orphan?! I read an articolo about te in some newspaper!" matsuda cried.
"oh... Yeah... I am..." Penelope mumbled. She hated when people talked about her past. It always reminded her of near and mello and BB and watari.
"matsuda! Please stop. It's making her uncomfortable." L detto calmly. Penelope was still clinging to his arm.
"oh... Sorry. I just got a little excited. Ehaha..." matsuda laughed awkwardly. He wasn't great with people and was very easily excited.
"fine, fine. I'm alright. So what's next? Should I just kind of... Watch?" Penelope replied. L shook her off his arm and then shoved some cake in his mouth.
"Actually, I need to interview te personally. Just to be positive that te are not Kira." L said nonchalantly.
"alright, whatever's nesesscary. How long will it take though?" Penelope asked. She grabbed L's arm again and the man sighed.
"probably a quite few hours. I was up all night interviewing these others. Oh! I'm also going to make sure te understand all of our findings on the case." L replied, a fork sticking out of his mouth. "the rest of te are dismissed for the time being. Be here tomorrow at ten sharp." matsuda, Aizawa, mogi, and the yagamis walked out slowly. Leaving penelope and L alone. L began questioning her while strange happenings were occurring in westchester.
Near walked into his bedroom in the wammy house. He had been abandon so the others rooms were now his as well. Near didn't mind being alone though, in fact he enjoyed it. No one to annoy him while he was testing his theories, no awkward small talk he want any part in, and no one to call him weird o albino. Mello had always detto things like that to him but near hadn't minded. He hadn't liked it but it didn't matter to him. Matt had never really spoken to him, so he had no reason to miss mail. Near went to grab a toy from his toy chest, but noticed something lay on his bed. It was a small white box with smears of dirt and grime on it. Near hated dirty things, things that weren't white and clean and freshly pressed were terrifying to him. He looked at the box, closely examining it. Near didn't want to open it, o touch it for that matter, but he was so curious about what lay inside. Finally, the white haired boy gave in and opened the box. Inside was a cake. It was small and white and had a huge N in nears signature font on it in icing. Near gasped, he had never received a gift like that before. He had received new toys on Natale and birthdays, but never a cake for no reason. Near didn't really want to taste it though. It had been sitting in a grimy box for who knows how long. He poked at it; soft and fleshy the cake bent to his finger's will. Near stared at it for a little while longer and then tore a piece off. He sniffed it and poked it a bit and then lifted it to his mouth. Near carefully bit off a tiny nibble of the cake. It was a soft fluffy vanilla sponge cake with creamy fondant on top. Near wondered if he should take another bite. He didn't know if the cake was poisoned o not. o even if it was just plain dirty and grimy like the box. Near left the rest of the cake, retrieved a toy, and then left back to the main room. Hours later he went back into the room, another box lay on his bed. He opened it quickly and peered inside. This one had cursive lettering and detto 'wanna play?' on it in bright green icing. The cake itself was coated with red and black striped fondant. Near pondered the appearances of the cakes emotionlessly.
"why two of them? Why so close together? Whoever it is has connections to a bakery o a cucina of some sort... But why me? Who is this person? Male... Female...? It's a fifty fifty chance there... Are they some sort of serial killer? o are they just innocent and bored...?" he whispered to himself. Near studied the frosting work on the two cakes and took notice of how carefully the work had been done. Each angle and curve was perfectly illustrated, each pinch and line was executed with the utmost grace. Whoever it was near was now 60% sure it was a female. Why would a male take the time to execute everything perfectly? But perhaps that was the trick. Perhaps whoever was making these cakes so careful and dainty was trying to make near think they were female. when truly, they were male. Near pondered this fact while twirling some hair intensely.
"what do they mean da 'wanna play'....?" he mumbled. Near left the room for a moment to retrieve a toy plane and then walked back. This time a banner was placed in each window. The first banner detto 'come on' the secondo 'and play' the third 'with me' and the fourth 'Nate river'. That fourth one was what scared him. Only watari, mello, and Matt had known his real first and last names. Whoever this person was they had done their homework on the young boy. Near crept over to the banners and peered at then intently. He idly twirled a piece of hair around his thumb an then his forefinger. Each banner had been colored with marker. Washable crayola marker to be exact. Near suspected a younger person now, what with the marker and fancy design. Someone with no job as it was nine fifteen when near had seen the first one and one o' five for the second. The banners had been hung at probably around one thirty o one forty five. Near wasnt sure when exactly he had left the room for the plane. He did, however, know that it had only taken him maybe a minuto to grab the plane. The child doing this to him was smart and witty as well as agile quick. They had made sure to assemble each cake while wearing gloves, te could tell da the small black hairs near saw occasionally interrupting the otherwise perfect flow of fondant on cake. Near figured that each time he left the room, a new plea would emerge. The child had already expressed the power they had da putting the cakes inside and the banners out. It was as if they were saying 'I can be in o out, your not sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza from me'. Near left the room again for an ora and then returned. This time a message was written with nears toys on the floor. He could barely make out the steady stream of random letters 'N-ccbd-aaaai-pwmism-xirut'. Near had absolutely no idea how to decode this scrambling of random letters. He began to try different things like the letter after each dash but that gave him 'capx' which meant nothing. Then he tried the letter before each dash 'Ndim'. Still made no sense. He tried multiple different decoding equations but only one gave him a viable acronym. He took the first letter and then the first two of the third word and finally the first of the last. 'NpwmX' was the answer. He guessed it meant 'N play with me X'.
"so you've revealed your name X." he thought aloud.
"so nice of te to notice." a scrambled voice echoed. Near was startled at first but showed nothing to make sure that whoever was doing this, couldn't see his emotions.
"your welcome..." he replied softly. Near didn't like being involved in conversation all that much, he wasn't really a people person.
"so do te want to know who I am?" the voice echoed again. Near had a feeling that they had stashed a microphone somewhere. But he had no idea of it's location. The boy figured this was più of a taunt then a conversation so he didnt respond.
"do te want to know Nate? Do you?" it asked sinisterly.
"no." he finally replied. But this was a lie. Of course near wanted to know just who this person was and why they were stalking him. He wanted to know every little detail about this person. But he restrained himself from admitting that fact o mostrare it in his facial expression.
"are te sure nate? Don't te want to know how I know your name? And all that?" it taunted. Near still couldnt make out if the voice was male o female, thanks to the voice scrambler, but he could sense a little higher pitch. Which seemed to hint that it was female.
"I'm positive. I do not want to know." near replied.
"oh really? Because yours eyes tell a different story." the voice said.
"cameras? Should have expected." near growled back. He didn't know how much longer he could keep it up.
"of course N. Would I not place cameras ?" it asked.
"please go away." he detto and left the room. The speaking ceased and near crept back in.
"I expected someone smarter N. o are te just a secret genius?" it detto haughtily.
"I am smart. Just stop..." he protested.
"if te wish. N." the voice replied and then ceased. Near, relieved, grabbed a few più toys and went back into the main room. He sat down and began to fidget with a rubix cube but couldn't seem to get the thoughts from his mind.
'who is this? Male o female? Why do they want me? Do they know any others? Could it be mello? Are they going to kill me? Should I tell watari?' Near shook the thoughts from his mind and returned to his toys. It only took a few secondi for his brain to go back to the mysterious messages and X.
Atop the roof of the wammy house sat a small pale girl. She was happily toying with a piece of hair and was lapping an unknown red substance off her other hand. successivo to her, a small microphone was sitting vacantly with a radio and a small TV monitor.
"near really is a dumbass." she laughed. "how could he possibly miss the fact I'm sitting right above him. I feel so accomplished, I've outsmarted the outsmarter. And as it seems, lambs have become lions." she carefully spun her tongue around her thumb, licking the last of the red away. "so near, do te accept my challenge?" she spat into the microphone.
"challenge? This is hardly a challenge. I could defeat te anytime." near growled back. X held a laugh back from the other line of the microphone.
"oh really? I honestly doubt that. I'm just as smart as you. Just as devious and ten times as adorable." X replied through a mouthful of crostini, pane tostato coated in powdered sugar.
"adorable...? te are a very strange child. If it's a challenge te want, it's a challenge you'll get." near said, his voice dripping with anger.
"yes, your rather cute. But not as cute as I. And I accept your challenge." X smiled evilly, a crumb of crostini, pane tostato hanging from her lip.
"what? I didn't challenge you. te challenged me." near protested.
"oh I did? Your crazy. I don't remember that at all." X laughed. She was simply playing around with nears mind for the fun of it.
"I'm not crazy, te are. te challenged me." near growled.
"I honestly have no clue what your talking about. Bye!" she cried and turned the microphone off. She flicked a piece of her bleach white hair from her face.
"oh near, your such an idiot. te don't even remember who I am." X smiled to herself. Her red eyes were shining brightly despite the foggy England wheather. "but we're gonna have so much fun. I can hardly wait. After B defeated L, it only makes sense I defeat te N." the girl burst into meniacle laughter and then jumped off the roof.
"did I actually fall asleep last night?..." Penelope yawned and picked her head up. She was lying on the divano successivo to a snoring Matt. Penelope jabbed the boy in the stomach but he didn't move. Mail had always been a very heavy sleeper so being poked and prodded didn't wake him.
"Matt... I have to leave. And go to work. And meet L" Penelope squealed happily. She was very excited about getting to meet L again and to see him for the first time.
"..." Matt continued to snore loudly. Penelope decided to play a little prank on him and pulled a pad of paper out. The girl Snaked her hand into Matts vest and tried to pull his PSP out. But the secondo she grabbed a hold of the device Matts other hand shot out.
"I would not touch that if I were you." he smiled. Penelope ripped the black square out of the boys pocket and went running off.
"AH! GET BACK HERE! I NEED THAT!" Matt shrieked and went fumbling after her. Mail followed the girl around through the penthouse, sprinting as fast as he could. Penelope colomba onto the letto with hopes off sliding off it to continue the foot race but snagged and got stuck on the fabric. Matt grabbed her legs before she could crawl off. He quickly jumped on superiore, in alto of her and pinned Penelope down.
"GAH! Stop Matt stop!" she giggled. Mail reached over and pulled the black PSP out of her hand.
"and now I get my revenge." he detto deviously. Penelope began to struggle and pull out of his grip. But Matt held her down. He pulled his goggles off and smiled.

"umm... I-I h-have to go t-to work n-now..." Penelope stuttered, also shocked da the kiss.

He clumsily pulled himself off the girl and stumbled off to the bathroom. Penelope, still shocked, hauled herself up. She grabbed her mantello off the cappotto hanger and climbed out the window.

Near figured that each time he left the room, a new plea would emerge. The child had already expressed the power they had da putting the cakes inside and the banners out. It was as if they were saying 'I can be in o out, your not sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza from me'. Near left the room again for an ora and then returned. This time a message was written with nears toys on the floor. He could barely make out the steady stream of random letters 'N-ccbd-aaaai-pwmism-xirut'. Near had absolutely no idea how to decode this scrambling of random letters. He began to try different things like the letter after each dash but that gave him 'capx' which meant nothing. Then he tried the letter before each dash 'Ndim'. Still made no sense. He tried multiple different decoding equations but only one gave him a viable acronym. He took the first letter and then the first two of the third word and finally the first of the last. 'NpwmX' was the answer. He guessed it meant 'N play with me X'.
"so you've revealed your name X." he thought aloud.
"so nice of te to notice." a scrambled voice echoed. Near was startled at first but showed nothing to make sure that whoever was doing this, couldn't see his emotions.
"your welcome..." he replied softly. Near didn't like being involved in conversation all that much, he wasn't really a people person.
"so do te want to know who I am?" the voice echoed again. Near had a feeling that they had stashed a microphone somewhere. But he had no idea of it's location. The boy figured this was più of a taunt then a conversation so he didnt respond.
"do te want to know Nate? Do you?" it asked sinisterly.
"no." he finally replied. But this was a lie. Of course near wanted to know just who this person was and why they were stalking him. He wanted to know every little detail about this person. But he restrained himself from admitting that fact o mostrare it in his facial expression.
"are te sure nate? Don't te want to know how I know your name? And all that?" it taunted. Near still couldnt make out if the voice was male o female, thanks to the voice scrambler, but he could sense a little higher pitch. Which seemed to hint that it was female.
"I'm positive. I do not want to know." near replied.
"oh really? Because yours eyes tell a different story." the voice said.
"cameras? Should have expected." near growled back. He didn't know how much longer he could keep it up.
"of course N. Would I not place cameras ?" it asked.
"please go away." he detto and left the room. The speaking ceased and near crept back in.
"I expected someone smarter N. o are te just a secret genius?" it detto haughtily.
"I am smart. Just stop..." he protested.
"if te wish. N." the voice replied and then ceased. Near, relieved, grabbed a few più toys and went back into the main room. He sat down and began to fidget with a rubix cube but couldn't seem to get the thoughts from his mind.
'who is this? Male o female? Why do they want me? Do they know any others? Could it be mello? Are they going to kill me? Should I tell watari?' Near shook the thoughts from his mind and returned to his toys. It only took a few secondi for his brain to go back to the mysterious messages and X.
Atop the roof of the wammy house sat a small pale girl. She was happily toying with a piece of hair and was lapping an unknown red substance off her other hand. successivo to her, a small microphone was sitting vacantly with a radio and a small TV monitor.
"near really is a dumbass." she laughed. "how could he possibly miss the fact I'm sitting right above him. I feel so accomplished, I've outsmarted the outsmarter. And as it seems, lambs have become lions." she carefully spun her tongue around her thumb, licking the last of the red away. "so near, do te accept my challenge?" she spat into the microphone.
"challenge? This is hardly a challenge. I could defeat te anytime." near growled back. X held a laugh back from the other line of the microphone.
"oh really? I honestly doubt that. I'm just as smart as you. Just as devious and ten times as adorable." X replied through a mouthful of crostini, pane tostato coated in powdered sugar.
"adorable...? te are a very strange child. If it's a challenge te want, it's a challenge you'll get." near said, his voice dripping with anger.
"yes, your rather cute. But not as cute as I. And I accept your challenge." X smiled evilly, a crumb of crostini, pane tostato hanging from her lip.
"what? I didn't challenge you. te challenged me." near protested.
"oh I did? Your crazy. I don't remember that at all." X laughed. She was simply playing around with nears mind for the fun of it.
"I'm not crazy, te are. te challenged me." near growled.
"I honestly have no clue what your talking about. Bye!" she cried and turned the microphone off. She flicked a piece of her bleach white hair from her face.
"oh near, your such an idiot. te don't even remember who I am." X smiled to herself. Her red eyes were shining brightly despite the foggy England wheather. "but we're gonna have so much fun. I can hardly wait. After B defeated L, it only makes sense I defeat te N." the girl burst into meniacle laughter and then jumped off the roof.
