Disclaimer: I don't own Magic Kaito nor Detective Conan. I would like to have the rights to these as my Christmas present, though.

Author's Notes: Yey! Since it's the Holidays, this is a Christmas-themed fic. Well, it's in survey form but I made it far from boring. Haha.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Christmas Survey

Introduction: I'm Misanagi and I'm conducting a survey among Primary and High School Japanese students regarding the consumerism and materialistic ideology during the holidays.

Background of the Study: I have noticed that the true spirit of the holidays is being overshadowed by the materialism that shopping malls and gift-giving promotes. It is as if the spirit of generosity is reduced to a tradition of exchange gifts. So what better way to gather data than to hear from the students, the case studies, themselves?

We conducted a survey among students from Beika, Nakagawa and Kansai, and this is what they have to say…

Yes I do. Of course.

How many gifts do you give?

I'm not sure…

( ) From parents

x) Saved allowance

Parents, Shinichi, Sonoko. Oh wait, parents counts as two! Oh no… can it be four?

Name: Hattori Heiji

Age: 17

Do you give gifts in Christmas/holidays?

Sure I do!

How many gifts do you give?

Around 20 to 30 every year. (I have to give those police people in Osaka so they'd continue helping me during my investigations. Note: this isn't bribery)

How much do you spend on gifts?

Ano, it amounts to three-months worth of saved allowance but unlike Kudou, I don't give costly presents.

( ) From parents

x) Saved allowance

( ) Work pay

Who do you give gifts to? (name three)

Okaa-san, otou-san, Kazuha. Hmm, I may give a gift to Kudou this year. I'll think about it.

Would you be offended if someone you gave a gift to didn't give you a gift? Why or why not?

Just a bit, maybe. It's like, "Oi I gave you something – maybe you want to return the favor?" Hehe but it's not something I'll brood over. I'm not the type who keeps grudges.

What do you want this Christmas? What is your wish?

That I'd be faster than Kudou ina game we call deduction. Fine I admit he's a bit faster than me. Just a bit. Like a millisecond. I also wish Kazuha would stop nagging me and I wish she would stop noticing and criticizing the smallest mistakes that I commit! Haha! I would also like new set of Kendo armor or Bogu. The complete set, ne? The helmet (men), the body protector (doh), the gloves (kote), and the hip and groin protector (tare)! All of it!

Catching KID wouldn't be so bad.

PS I hope that Hakuba would return to his country and never come back. Haha! I hate it when that brat calls me hot-blooded!

Parents, Heiji

Would you be offended if someone you gave a gift to didn't give you a gift? Why or why not?

Not really but I won't forgive Heiji if he doesn't give me one this year!!!

What do you want this Christmas? What is your wish?

For Heiji to stop dragging me to his tantei misadventures. Seriously. I had a lot of near-death experiences this year. Maa, I wish Ran would have her Shinichi. Smiling would do her some good.

Name: Kuroba Kaito

Age: 17

Do you give gifts in Christmas/holidays?

Yup and I love surprises! Gifts alone aren't enough – it's the way you present them that makes them special! ;p

How many gifts do you give?

Seriously? How many? Ano, I'm not in the mood to count. Sometimes I just give a free magic show to my classmates and they're happy with it.

Okaa-san, Aoko, Jii

Would you be offended if someone you gave a gift to didn't give you a gift? Why or why not?

Just a teenie tiny bit. But it's okay – I love it when I'm the one giving. It's like a magic show, you know. As long as I see the smiles on their faces and that they're enjoying, I'm okay. All smiles… poker face!

What do you want this Christmas? What is your wish?

Pandora - I mean, that Aoko would get the chance to spend her Christmas with her otou-san.

( ) Work pay

Who do you give gifts to? (name three)

Otou-san, Kaito, Keiko

Would you be offended if someone you gave a gift to didn't give you a gift? Why or why not?

Not at all. It's better if their gifts come from their hearts, ne? So it won't be good if you force someone to give you one…

What do you want this Christmas? What is your wish?

New set of mops! And of course, that otou-san would finally catch KID, for Kaito not to be a jerk. I wish he'd take me seriously even for just a moment. I wish he won't be so cold and that he'd put down whatever barrier there is that's preventing me from knowing the real him.

I don't care. The tree at home is full of gifts for me anyway.

Twelve new pairs of shoes, a vacation trip to the south of France, for Makoto to finally admit that he likes me, to meet KID, for Ran to forget the disappearing detective Shinichi.

No because I don't really care. It's just a silly tradition that permanently fills the void inside the hearts of men.

What do you want this Christmas? What is your wish?

To catch KID, to catch KID, to catch KID, to unmask KID, to unmask KID, to unmask KID… To find out why he does what he do…

Iie, I'm not obsessed with KID.

Ano, the detective boys' answers are up next! And so are some of our memorable and well-loved characters like Mouri Kogorou, Prof. Agasa and maybe even some of the BO members. If you have any suggestions on what their answers may be, just post a comment or review! Thanks!

Once again, happy holidays! ;p
