Hello everybody! Before I get started, let me say that this is an un-edited draft, and I will be editing this as the story grows. Also, this will be the shortest chapter you will probably ever see, as I plan to have most of my chapters fairly long, so they are worth the wait of updating. Updates shouldn't take too long in the summer, but college DOES take time out of my life. I am actually using this story as a guideline for my work. I am an aspiring writer, so this should give me great practice. This story is about a young child who has a desperate need to be in the Death Note franchise. As she gives up, her dreams start to get strange. She is able to visit the Death Note world in her dreams. Obviously, I cannot express my worry enough that my readers will grow bored at the beginning of this story. Many of you have came for an LXOC pairing, and YOU WILL GET IT! Just not very soon into the story. Hopefully many of you can agree that a 10 year old should NOT be paired with a 25 year old. If you do, then please, go get yourself some help straight away! Jokes aside, I hope you enjoy my story! ~LawlietGirl98

I do NOT own Death Note in any way, nor am I making any profit from this story.

Convincing children to listen to what you have to say is a lot harder than people make it seem. Obviously, as a teacher, you are bound to have some jackass who thinks he doesn't have to listen. Disciplinary actions are taken, but the kid usually doesn't change. Then you bribe him. Be good, or your field trip will be taken away.

Convincing the man named L was harder.

In some cases he would listen, with a bored, obviously disinterested, look planted on his face, and then ridicule it with all his might. And then you have other cases were he doesn't even listen at all, finding his pastry a lot more interesting than what you had to say.

But, in the end, Shannon never minded that at all. It's not like she could, anyway. L was a fictional character, lost in death in a franchise that was ever too small. Shannon couldn't ever get to him, no matter how hard her small hands tried. Reading fake websites on 'How to go to an alternate dimension!' never worked, and that was the end of her troubles, right there.

Anyhow, the Death Note world was not for ten year olds. Even after trying countless amounts of times to wake up in that dimension, it never worked. Fanfiction never really helped with that, either. Even if she wasn't supposed to read it.

Eventually, to her utter dismay, she gave up.

Until one night, she awoke in a strange place.
