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~ ­
­
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 ­

Everyone sweatdropped
­
"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, she is only pretending to be cheerful.
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 ­
