"Is Near finished eating?" Matt cooed.

"Nearly," Mello replied, covering his mouth to keep from giggling like a little schoolgirl.

"So what you mean is, Near is nearly nearing completion of his meal?"

"You are nearly correct about Near nearly nearing completion of his nearly-finished meal, Matt."

Near said nothing; he just kept spooning his macaroni and chewing silently.

"Near, nearly finished nearing the end of your dinner? Bedtime is nearly near."

He still said nothing.

"You know, Mello, yesterday I nearly neared nearing to a nearby police station when I nearly got caught nearing towards the closed Game Stop near the nearly open Subway at nearly 3 am when it was nearing 3:01 AM."

"A fascinating tale, Matt. That reminds me of the time I nearly neared-"

"NATE!" Near finally screeched, jolting up from his chair and pounding his fists into the table. "JUST CALL ME NATE!"

Mello and Matt were silent for a moment before Mello turned to Matt and said in a concerned tone:

"I believe Near is nearing insanity."

"I nearly agree, Mello."
