cute 3am chappy idea. will continue. just getting thru college, before ah gets me ass back to home, my laptop and SOTS/all other plots.

i own nothing. this is true for all chappies.

It all started as a dare. Heiji and Shinichi were maintaining the peace between their respective female counterparts, as the two girls partied at a bar for the first time. Kazuha and Ran were having a wonderful time, and already, they'd had a little more then they probably should have. Hence, Kazuha's brainwave.

Ran was entirely agreeable to the bit of fun at their boyfriends' expense, and hence plans were made.

Heiji escorted Kazuha back to their hotel rooms, looking slightly exasperated at her lack of control.

"Really, Ahou, you know better than to break three guys' noses!" he exclaimed, letting her into her room.

"He-hic-, they ask...as…. they assed for yur ass." She stated happily. "S-so I… I BREAKed em~!" she cornered the taller male in a corner, still grinning, though she gained a more maniacal aura. "-Hic- Cuz… Cuz Ku… Kudou is only guy take yur ass… yeah know what wuld be rly rly coooooal~?"

"Kazuha, go to bed before you hurt yourself." He stated, forcing her off of him, and making her lay down on her bed.

"Y-yuuuuu shud d-date tha' detectorive… detectorve of the… the esht."

Ran broke 2 lamps and a chair with poorly aimed punches, as Shinichi tried to calm her, yet maintain his position.

"Ran, please! I spent those years trying to get back to YOU! I /love/ you!" he informed her gently, dodging another swing.

"I… I triple… triple double ultra quadruple duck dare you to date Hattori..." she stated. "Fur 12 months!" she added.

"Ran~!" he protested, however, she was leaving the room for bed. "Startin righ' NAO~!" she giggled, before passing out on the stairs. Her father looked unimpressed. Shinichi sighed.

Heiji sighed when Kudou picked up on the 3rd ring.

"Hello?" the detective of the east asked, handing the bucket to his girlfriend. She now knew how her father felt every morning of his life.

"Heyah Kudou, can ah put something pas' yeah?"

"Sure, but make it fast. People with hangovers hate talkative people."

"Kazuha has informed me we are going to date for the next 12 months."

"Funny, Ran has said the same to me."

"Care to humor their sick, twisted minds?"

"Sure." Kudou shrugged. Saved him a beating for turning back on the dare. Heiji smiled into the phone as he said his farewells; it saved HIM an earful and some bruises. Kazuha giggled, and then went back to clutching her head. Pain.

First Date –Month I-

Ran straightened Shinichi's tie happily. The detective stared at her.

"Why. WHY can't you just LET IT GO?" he whined

"It'll be cute, and you'll love me more after it, not to mention it being blackmail worthy." She replied for the 10th time, calmly. "Besides, this gives Kazuha and I a chance for /girl time/."

"But /RAN/-!" Shinichi pouted.

"Don't be a baby." She chided. "A dare is a dare, and you took it, so now you got to uphold it." She insisted. "Now, he'll be here ANY minute, so be /nice/."

"YES ka-san…" Shinichi grumbled under the cover of the doorbell, and then went to answer the door. Heiji, obviously unimpressed with his school uniform (now almost a size too small), stood pouting on the doorstep.

"Hey." Shinichi greeted, before locking Ran into his house, and heading for the street. "Let's go."

"Ahou made reservations at some restaurant, and bought tickets for some ridiculous show." Heiji stated, keeping pace.

"Saves us planning." Shinichi deadpanned, still obviously unimpressed.

"Hai…" Heiji agreed half-halfheartedly. He took the lead.

Shinichi stared. Heiji gaped openly.

"I am not going in there." They both stated together.

"You are Edogawa and Irottah?" the greeter asked pleasantly. The lacy pink coffee shop was fine, really, right up until the lacy pink part of the equation. They'd placate girlfriends. They'd cosplay gay. However, they had manhoods to think of, and this would not be on their record, not a chance from then until the apocalypse of the apocalypse of time!

Ran and Kazuha, the Almighty stalkers of inability to stalk, pouted openly at the boys' absolute refusal. They were not disappointed with the pre-paid, no refunds movie tickets, however, then later joined the gentlemen bowling. An /acceptable/ recreational activity for two gentlemen having a night on the town.

Fun. eat and reveiw people, PLEASE? art school aint no joke!
