Rachael Moore was on the phone with her new boyfriend Jimmy Kudo. Rachael still couldn't believe that they had finally gotten together. She could always tell that Jimmy liked her, and she felt the same but they couldn't seem to express it. Finally two weeks before prom Jimmy finally asked her to be his boyfriend.

Right now she was currently on the phone with him. "An all paid for trip to Kyoto? What's the catch?"

"There is no catch Ran, three nights at any hotel of your choice from May 21st to 24th."

"But that's the day right after our Prom, wait a second I think I know what this is about. I'M NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL KUDO!"

"It's not like that Rachael; if it was do you really think I would ask you when you are on speaker phone when your dad might be in the room?"

Ran turned bright red at this comment. "How did you know that it was a speaker phone?"

"The feedback, anyway this wasn't my idea. It was my parents."

"Your parents told you to take me to a hotel room?"

"Rachael let me explain. Last night my parents called me and old me they were moving and they needed my help. Apparently I have to go to the airport directly after prom and fly to L.A. When I told my mom this she said that you and your family and friends could stay in Kyoto to make up for it."

"I, wait what the hell?"

Jimmy let out a humorous laugh. "Well it's my parents, what do you expect? I've learned to just go with it."

"Well, I know that my parents could you a vacation so I'll be inclined to accept your offer. I'll call around noon tomorrow and tell you exactly how many people will be going. Out of curiosity where are your parents moving?"

"Boston."

"Boston, where's that?" Rachael asked puzzled. That didn't sound like anywhere in California.

"It's a city on the Atlantic Ocean," Jimmy replied not sounded happy about it.

"Not happy with the arrangement?"

"You could say that. I thought that my parents live far enough away as it was? Now there moving farther away, cross country in-fact."

"That has to be rough. Why are they moving there?"

"Inspiration for dad's new book, I think. Hey I have to go; my parents are on the other line."

"Okay Jimmy, I'll see you soon."

"You sure will, love you."

"Love you to," Rachel said as she hung up the phone and frowned. She new that Jimmy's parents were a bit odd but they continued to surprise her.

"What's wrong?" her father asked as he walked in.

"Jimmy called, his parents are moving?"

"Are they moving back to Japan?" Conan inquired walking in looking cheerful.

"No, to a city called Boston," she told him.

"Oh, wow. That's on the other side of the world," Conan replied his good mood disappearing quickly, which startled Rachael very much. She knew that Conan and Mrs. Kudo were distantly related, but she wasn't sure how. In-fact she knew very little about Conan's family life at all.

"I was hoping to talk to her is all," Conan said answering her unasked question.

"You can still talk to her on the phone if you want, I'm sure that Jimmy could arrange it."

"That would be great; could you ask him for me?"

"Sure thing Conan, out of curiosity what do you want to talk to her about?"

"Oh, ah nothing much," Conan replied nervously.

"Conan, what's going on?"

"My parents told me to contact her for some reason. Don't ask me why, I have no idea."

This alarmed her. Conan sounded mad to say the least, something that didn't happen very often. He really is a very well mannered child.

"They always speak in riddles, my parents. I guess they think it makes them cleaver. Well two can play at that game. What's that flying at you? It's my fist!" Conan muttered as he went walked towards the bathroom and slammed the door leaving her stunned. She took a second to gather her thoughts. She was wrong; Conan wasn't mad, he was furious. Why he was furious, she didn't know. It sounded that Conan didn't know the whole story either. That's the reason he's mad right? It's the fact that his parents won't give him straight answers right? Or maybe there was something else going on. Thinking about this gave her a headache.

"Conan exactly what is going on with you?" Rachael asked to the empty room before walking away.
