"Confess to your crimes!" Ariana shouted through the microphone.

"What crimes!? I haven't done anything!"

"Your Kira. That's the crime, want some cider?"

"No."

"No what?"

"I don't want any cider."

"So you don't want cider...?"

"yes."

"But you admit to being Kira?"

"No!" Light argued, his father, who was stood next to the seated Ariana, slammed his fist down onto the table, squishing her jelly which she was not happy about.

"I will not have you offering alcohol to my son!"

"But it's Christmas!" She drawled sarcastically, twirling her hair round her finger. A few seats down, L sat, laughing quietly at the odd detective they had hired to help them. Almost as odd as he was, although he had known that when he met her working on past cases, one of them being the BB Murder Cases.

"I don't care if it's Christmas or Easter my son will not be drinking any alcohol!"

"Good thing it's not Easter then..." She muttered, kicking the table so the chair spun round at lightning speed. L got up slowly from his seat and slouched over to the quarrelling pair.

"We don't have any cider."

"Good. I don't drink anyway." She stared around as they looked at her strangely.

"What?! I'm trying to catch the suspect off guard!" She threw her hands in the air in defence.

"Right. How much sleep have you had, Ariana?" L asked, raising his eyebrow and tucking into her jelly, ignoring her when she slapped his hands away.

"Not a lot. This case is hard and my brains been in overdrive since I got here in Japan." L sighed.

"You should sleep."

"If I sleep Santa won't come!" She said in an angelic voice, her eyes widening.

"Here's your delivery of the 10 pack of cider." A random delivery boy said at the door. Almost immediately they all turned to look at Ariana.

"Wasn't me. As I said, I don't drink. I only drink Tea and Chocolate milk."

"Actually it was me..." Officer Yanagami said sheepishly. "I said my son couldn't drink. I never said we couldn't."

"Who do I work with...?" Ariana sighed.

"The best detectives in the world!" The police chorused.
