DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DETECTIVE CONAN.
This is just an experiment. A random thought. So feel free to review it.
What if Sherry never left the organization? What if her sister left the organization without her? Marrying Akai? Conan never had any source of temporary pills that made him grow to his real self? After all, Shiho's rebellion was because of Akemi's death. Will Shiho be the bad guy here?
Anyway, sorry for the really OOC here. This is an apology in advance.
Here's how the storyline would work. Shiho is a high ranking member in the organization, leading various projects and experiments for the boss. The boss was satisfied with her loyalty to them and with the event that her sister betrayed the company with the FBI Shuichi, Shiho did not waver, the boss was more than pleased for it. (Akemi left without her sister because Akai cannot break them both out of the organization without casualties so Akemi and Akai made a promise to come back for Shiho. She was 18 years old back then. But with years passing by, they never did and that's when Shiho's trust diverted to the organization instead of Akemi, they made her think Akemi betrayed her.)
Vermouth is jealous of Shiho's position in the eyes of the Boss. He seemed to favor her almost as equally as Vermouth. Vermouth just found herself a rival. Gin has this magnetic attraction on Shiho, he didn't want anyone to have her but at the same time, he didn't want her.
Bourbon loved Akemi but after he betrayal, he felt betrayed. Bourbon had a role with Akemi and Shuichi's escape in the organization and he felt used. (But he misunderstood it. Akemi was trying to help him as well, convince him but with his feelings clouding his thinking, he pretty much misunderstood what Akemi did. And he wanted revenge by breaking Shiho and her heart. After all, he knew about the promise Akemi and Akai made. And he swore that they'd never fulfill it.
Shinichi here will be Conan until he gets his hands on a temporary antidote. He finds Ran suffering, waiting for him to come back. Sonoko tried persuading Ran to date Araide, saying Shinichi might never come back, after all, it's been years of waiting. So Conan was in desperate need for the antidote. He didn't want Ran to love someone else but he also didn't want Ran to suffer any longer.
Kaito Kid will show up too but not that much. I'm not sure how well I can portray him but I'll try my best. He will be one of Conan's helping hand for him to succeed in winning Ran back. Heiji too will be here.
Did I miss anyone? If I did, I'll just update this. Please enjoy!
Note: Forgive me for the Japanese terms if it's wrong. I just feel like while reading it with japenese terms involved, maybe it would feel like watching the anime itself.
It was five years now that Ran has waited. (Shinichi is now 22 years old.)

In the detective agency, in Conan's room.
Conan was gripping on the photo in his hand. The photo of him and Ran when they were young. Ran... I promise I'd come back...! He stared angrily at his fist. His small fist. He was a child! Ran was not growing any younger, sooner or later he had to let her go. That reality was too hard for him to accept. No way will he give it up. He was the great detective! How could he not solve the case where he's involved! The case where the person he loves the most is the victim! Conan cried in shame. Hope was fading as time passes by.
His tantrum was seized when he heard his phone ring.
KRIIIIIIIIING!
He chose to ignore it but it kept ringing.
KRIIIIIIIIING!
He decided to stop and wipe his tears away. He releases the crumpled photo in his hand and grabbed his phone in the table. He checked to see who it was and in his surprise it was...
"Ran-neechan?" he said with his childish voice.
"Conan-kun, I'm glad you picked up!" she exclaimed from the other line.
"What is it, Ran-neechan?" he asked curiously. Ran sounded happy and awfully excited. The boy readied his heart for any heartbreak.
"Conan-kun, Hakase is inviting us to go with him in a convention and meet famous people."
Conan find it disturbing that Ran was excited to go to such thing. What was exactly in the convention? Araide-sensei would be there, would he? He thought deeply. Not hearing the rest Ran had to say.
"Conan-kun? Conan-kun?" Ran repeated, worried than Conan wasn't responding.
"Gume Gume (sorry sorry), what was it again?" The boy couldn't construct a lie. So he decided to change the subject.
"The convention would be one of the biggest events of the year. Even Shinichi's father would be there!" Ran said excitedly. But suddenly her voice lowered and Conan could feel the sadness in her tone after that. "Anyway, would you like to come?" I'm sorry for making you wait this long... Ran.
"Hai! When is this convention anyway?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Arigatou Ran-neechan!"
As soon as the call ended. Conan finally figured out the why Ran was so excited; She was hoping Shinichi would be there.
