the first meeting(zues and echo)

"Isnt that the definiton of a haunting?"

That time I did laugh. "With you it is."

"Thenh I guess I am Haunting you then. THough am I really that bad?" I smiled as I said this bit, trying to set her at ease.

"When you wake me up you are."

"I only wake you up when you sleep for to long. And I brought food with me, so its not all bad. Dont I get points for that?"

"I enjoy sleeping a great deal. It's why I was only ranked fourth."

"Ahh, I see. The excuse maker you are." I tried to say with a strat face,as I mocked an old mans voice, "never good."

"It's not an excuse. It's a valid reason."

"Well, why didnt you want to try for that second place, if L is the best, that must mean you should have been second, but you slept to much. So why not do better?"

"I wouldn't have gone for second only because of Mello's temper. He wanted to be first, so being bumped down to third would've really set him off more than his being second."

"Well, dont worry about others. The whole Mosvle's self-actualization theroy. WHy not look after yourself first?"

"Not being second was looking after myself. Mello is a bit...violent at times..."

"Ah, I see then. One of those types. Kill anythat are better so I can be the best, and every thing can be a suckish as I am. Great kids!"

"We try at Wammy's we really do. It was so much fun. I miss that place..."

"Then go back, and dont leave it then. If you like a place, why leave. Seems counter productive...."

"Well we all leave at some point. You don't just stay in the same place forever. And besides, it was an orphanage, so people leave to make room for more kids."

"Ah, so entually, Mello would get replaced anywyas then?"

"Well he left before I did...But Near was L, so it didn't matter. Near's the one who will be replaced."

"I see, so what happens to you, since you never became L?"

"Nothing really. I'm just there in case all the possible successors -meaning the top three- died and the ones at Wammy's were too young to take the job on."

"I see. So you dont want to become L then? Since you never tried?"

"Not really. It's all seems to much, being the best at something. You'd have to get everything perfect. That's more Near's bit than mine. I'm just there."

"Well, then I guess we are at conflict. I like to be the best at what I do."

"I'm lazy. It's just how I am."

"oh well, guess I cant argue that."
