Serial or Cereal?
Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan/Case Closed. Detective Conan/Case Closed belongs to Gosho Aoyama. I also won't take credit for the explaining meaning for serial and series in the below story, since I got them from my Apple Tree Electronic Dictionary Model No: AT98. Thank you so much my dictionary!! Mitsuhiko and Genta are fighting.. I wonder why.. one-shot, Update 4 Nov 2009: ENGLISH IS IN BOLD ~At Teitan Elementary School~ Everyone sweatdropped Of course, she is only pretending to be cheerful. THE END~
The school bell rang, indicating that its time to go home.
Genta and Mitsuhiko is walking together at the corridor...
"Genta-kun! Mitsuhiko-kun!" a voice shouted
They both looked behind
"Its Ayumi-chan" Genta said
"What happened, Ayumi-chan?" Mitsuhiko asked
Ayumi is gasping for air, she breathed in and breathed out...
"Genta-kun, Mitsuhiko-kun, how to spell 'cereal' in english?" Ayumi asked
"Cereal? Uh.. it should be s-e-r-i-a-l right?" Genta answered
"No, no!" Mitsuhiko protested "it is c-e-r-e-a-l"
"It is s-e-r-i-a-l!!" Genta shouted
"It is c-e-r-e-a-l!!"
"s-e-r-i-a-l!!"
"c-e-r-e-a-l!!"
"s-e-r-i-a-l!!"
"c-e-r-e-a-l!!"
"s-e-r-i-a-l!!"
"c-e-r-e-a-l!!"
Ayumi looked around, many pupil watching them and said shyly "Uh.. don't shout.. everyone is watching"
"What is wrong?" a voice asked
"Ah! Conan-kun!" Ayumi said happily, happy to meet her crush "How to spell 'cereal' in english?"
"It is s-e-r-i-a-l right Conan?" Genta said
"No! No! No! It is c-e-r-e-a-l right Conan?" Mitsuhiko said
"Ayumi-chan, is it as in serial number or breakfast cereal" Ai asked
"Breakfast cereal" Ayumi answered
"Then, Mitsuhiko's answer is the right one" Conan said
"Yay!" Mitsuhiko shouted joyfully
"Impossible! How can my answer be wrong?! I remembered that Kobayashi-sensei taught us before that it was s-e-r-i-a-l" Genta pouted
"No, it is not wrong" Ai replied "serial and cereal are both pronounced as sirial. Kojima-kun you got confused with serial and cerealdue to their pronunciation in english"
"That is right. The serial that Genta-kun said is for serial number or serial killer. The meaning for it is arranged in a series or row of things one after the other in their right order or a written or broadcast story appearing in parts at fixed times" Conan explained
"Oh.. Ayumi-chan! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Genta said angrily
"It was you who didn't ask me right?" Ayumi muttered
"By the way, what is the meaning for 'series' ?" Genta asked
"A group of things of the same kind or related in some way, coming one after another or in order" Ai answered
"I see.." Genta murmured
"I have a question for you both, how come both of you so.. smart?" Mitsuhiko asked curiously
"Ah... I like to read books, that is why..." Conan answered
"How about you Haibara?" Mitsuhiko asked
"Television, they taught me a lot of things" Ai replied cheerfully
Of course, they lied.
"Speaking of television.. Hey do you know? Today is the last episode for Kamen Yaiba and after that there is a one and a half hour Kamen Yaiba special movie"
"Really?" Ayumi said happily "I can't wait!"
"I am going home" Mitsuhiko said "bye-bye!"
"Wait, Mitsuhiko-kun!" Genta shouted "Have you forget that we have to go to the convenience shop ?"
"Ah, can I follow you both to the convenience shop? I need to buy things too" Ayumi asked
"Sure the more the merrier" Mitsuhiko said "Do you want to follow us, Conan-kun, Haibara-san?"
"No, I have to go to hakase's he wanted to show me something" Conan said
"Haibara-san, how about you?"
"No.. I got better things to do" she replied ice-coldly
"Bye-bye then!" Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko waved at them
The three of them walked away leaving Ai and Conan alone.
Ai and Conan sighed
"You need to be patient when it comes to handling those children" Conan said
"Ah.. there is someone who forget about themself..." Ai said with a evil smirk on her face
"What did you said?!" Conan asked angrily
"Nothing" Ai replied him with a innocent smile on her face
"You are so evil" Conan mumbled
"Well, thank you very much, I am borned like that. What can I do?" she said and walked away
'That kid...' he thought in anger
Quite confusing eh? Please review.
