"Breathe slowly as you practice this," the yoga teacher said. Everyone followed her instructions as they practiced yoga.

                                                                                      MARIE

I did my best to practice yoga even though I knew I wasn't great at it. "Why exactly are we doing this?" Near asked. "I'm not very good at this." "Neither am I," I informed him. "But there's no harm in trying." I looked at the yoga instructor and saw that she looked very familiar. "Huh," I let out under my breath. "What?" I heard Near ask. "I think I've seen her before," I answered. "Who?" Near asked. I looked at the yoga instructor and felt Near follow my gaze. "Her?" he asked. I nodded. "Yes," I answered. "She looks familiar. Have you seen her before?" Near tapped me on the shoulder with a surprised look on his face. "I think I have!" he answered in a loud whisper. "I think that's Cathy Weseluck!" "Really?!" I asked in a loud whisper. "Yeah!" Near answered in a loud whisper. "She looks just like her, she talks just like her, and I think she's..." Suddenly, Near lost his balance and fell on top of me. We both screamed as we fell to the floor.

Near and I gazed into each other's eyes for a few seconds before we noticed everyone's eyes on us.

                                                                        CATHY WESELUCK

I stopped what I was doing and looked at what was in front of me. I saw a guy wearing mostly white on top of a Gothic girl who looked to be his girlfriend. I was surprised to see that they were on top of each other in my class. Nevertheless, I sighed and shrugged it off. "Never mind that everyone," I told them. "Let's just continue with this."

MINUTES LATER...

                                                                              MARIE

I sighed after the yoga class ended. "Well, that was quite an experience," I heard Near say. "Yes, it was," I agreed. "Anyway, I'm sorry that I fell on top of you," Near told me. "It's alright," I said as I turned around and looked at him. "It happens. Take it easy." "Okay," Near said to me. "Hey," I heard a woman say. I gasped and overreacted as I turned around. "Woah!" the woman let out. "Calm down! I won't hurt you." I calmed down and took a good look at the woman only to find out that she was the same woman who looked like Cathy Weseluck. Our yoga teacher. "Anyway, are you two fans of The Murder Notebook?" she asked. I hesitated for a few seconds. "Yes, we are," Near answered. "My name is Callum." I was surprised to hear Near call himself, "Callum".   "It's nice to meet you, Callum," the yoga teacher said before she looked at me. "And what about you? What's your name?" "Marie," I answered. "It's very nice to meet you too, Marie," the yoga teacher told me. 

"It's nice to meet you too," I said back to her. "By the way, would it be weird if I said that you looked like Cathy Weseluck?" The yoga teacher chuckled. "No, it wouldn't be weird at all," she answered. "Because I'm Cathy Weseluck herself." Near and I dropped our jaws after we heard that. No way! This was the same woman who did the voice of Cybersix in Cybersix, Teela from The Adventures of He-Man, and Bunza in Inuyasha is standing right in front of us? I could just scream right now! I thought. "Anyway, I'm also in the English dub of The Murder Notebook," Cathy Weseluck continued. "I'm voicing Life who is the original L's successor. Well, we don't know who defeated Light Yagami or if the original L is dead, but it was a fun idea to add to the show." I remembered that Near told me about this Life character in The Murder Notebook, but I had no idea who would come up with that idea. I say this because the real L a.k.a. Ryuzaki is dead.
