Coldest Winter Night
Sakura - Tell me your Truth
Lene Marlin - Unforgivable Sinner
Early winter morning Ran looks out the window, slowly yet swiftly snowflakes start to fall. Tears start to fall as she thinks about her childhood friend; yes that young teenage detective, fairly popular at that.
"That darn mystery, case solving freak! When is he going to come home anyway?" Ran asked herself and being as stubborn as she can be.
"Why can't I see you Shinichi? It's not fair!" Ran thought as she looked at the photo on her desk. Just then, the little detective that lives with Ran and her father Kogoro, steps into Ran's room. Yes I do mean that kid Conan!
"Ran-neechan-" Conan looked over at the entrance.
"We're going now, come along!" continued Kogoro as they both start to walk down the hall and into the main doorway.
"Ok, I'm coming, wait up!" Ran replied as she starts to head out as well. Their destination today is going to take a train to the ski lodge for their winter break.
Every snowflake I see,
Every thought of you.
Just to see your face
I don't want to be lonely anymore.
I miss you every single day.
I won't fright, or get angry
Cry or feeling sad
I would help at anything,
And everything in the world
Just to see your face
I would travel far just to find you
So please, don't hide anymore
This game of hide and seek can't
Last any longer…
Day after day, it's just almost the same
Every phone call is almost the same…
Wish we could repeat that special day again!
That wonderful memory at the
Amusement park,
we all love so much.
When you're back again
If only we can turn back the hands of time.
"Hey look, I can see the ski area!" Ran said as she looks out the train window.
"Oh!" replied Conan, as he look out the window too.
The ski area huh? I remember the time when we came during a class trip. Seemed like cases would just follow me around. Who was it that solved the darn case? Oh yeah, it was that dark, tanned skin teen from Osaka. Who called himself a detective like me.
"Ok, we're here!" called out Kogoro as if he's repeating the announcer (conductor or whatever they are called) as the train slowly comes to a stop and opens it's doors. It was the top of the snowing hill, with tons of tourists hanging out and having a great day.
Ran, Conan and Kogoro look around as they head to the hotel to check in. After they checked in they headed to their rooms.
Kogoro has his own room, and Conan and Ran share a double bed bedroom. (lol) As they settled down and looked around the room. There is a small bar for beverages, below that is a small mini fridge with drinks. Other side is the closet, well for clothes of course. Oh yeah, by the main entrance of the room is a small restroom, yet it fits two people. Middle of the room are two beds, and across from that is a TV. Cabinet with drawers. Between the two beds is an extra table for whatever.
"Seems like a nice room doesn't it Conan-kun?" She asked excitedly as she looked as Conan, with a warm smile on her face.
"Mm!" Conan said as he nodded, thinking to himself that he's relieved to see Ran in a happy mood.
"I can't wait to play in the snow!" he continued heading towards the window, looking at the light snowfall!
"Should keep our warm clothes on."
"I got my sweater and gloves!" says Conan getting his gloves and sweater on, heads out the room, and down to the lobby.
Gee, he's just like a kid, but why is he so smart. Whenever there is a case, he's so interested in it, and he helps police find clues. Just like Shinichi, he surely looks like him. Except he wears glasses everywhere he goes… even sleeping and showering!
As Ran is deep in thought, she decided to go down to the coffee shop to have a cup of coffee. Ran sat at a table close to a window and looking out at the snow, looking at Conan. As a waitress comes and asks Ran what she would like to order.
"a cup of hot coffee, please." sad Ran looking at the waitress.
"alright a cup of coffee coming up!" replied the waitress, heading towards the café's bar. A few minute later, the cup of coffee is delivered to Ran's table.
"a cup of hot coffee" said the waitress, placing the coffee on the table in front of Ran.
"thank you." Ran stirs the coffee then takes a sip, enjoying the scenery outside.
"hey what happened to the kid, isn't he with you? Where the heck did he go?" Asked Kogoro puzzled, looking at Ran. Ran then turned looking at her dad noted that he's playing outside in the snow. With that Kogoro took out his set of newspapers and started reading and he ordered a cup of coffee as well.
"hmm!" said Conan, thinking to himself.
It's amazing, usually when I head out anywhere there's a mystery scene. But right now, it's so quiet, like the snow, it's so peaceful it's scary. Anyways the snow sure is nice
Kinda lose your sense of time
'Cause the days don't matter no more
All the feelings that you hide
Gonna tear you up inside
You hope she knows you tried
Before there was a case to solve and I met that guy, and girl. Never thought that was Heiji and Kazuha. Then it just hit him, it's been a long time since the last time he called Ran, so he decides to call Ran using his cell phone with Shinichi's number and his voice changing bow tie. Since he turned small, his voice changed.
Ring ring and right after the second right tone, the line on Ran's side is picked up.
"Hey, Ran… it's me Shinichi. How are ya?" said Conan as he hid behind a tree, so ran wouldn't notice, as usual. There was a moment of quietness, before Ran's voice came through the line.
Follows you around all day And you wake up soaking wet 'Cause between this world and eternity There is a face you hope to see
"Shinichi," Ran was surprised as she finished her cup of hot coffee. Excitedly she looked around for the person she adores so much. But no one she recognizes is in sight besides her dad.
"I'm doing fine, you know the usual. But today, Conan, me and otou-san are staying at the snow place, that we came doing our school trip remember?"
"yeah, I remember." Shinichi replied as snow start falling swiftly again. He can start to feel the chill in his face.
"Isn't the snow nice Shinichi? I wish we're both here to play together again like before." Ran started to have flash-backs about how they were both trying to solve that case.
You know where you've sent her
You sure know where you are
You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
Unforgivable Sinner
"of course, but… I'm sorry Ran, I know it's hard for you to wait, but I promise you I will come back-"
"you always say that Shinichi, but it's been so long since you left." Ran interrupted as if she begins not to believe that excuse any longer.
Shinichi signed, if only I didn't go after those men, I guess sometimes being too curious kills you. Now that I'm shrunk into a kid, as if my luck streak has just fallen off the edge of the cliff.
But cursing and being angry at myself won't solve my case. I have to get the antidote and fast Then came the voice, he knows so well, right through his head.
You've been walking around in tears
No answers are there to get
You won't ever be the same
Someone cries and you're to blame
"Ne, Shinichi are you listening to me?" Ran beckoned for reply on the other end of the line.
"ah, I'm sorry Ran, I was watching the news on T.V. I guess there are too many cases in Tokyo. Shinichi replied nervously making yet another excuse, hoping Ran will let this slide, among all the other lies he has said… for some reason… hoping Ran would understand. But it was always up to Ran, she hardly believes usually, though she's easily tricked sometimes.
"Ne, you're always saying about cases, cases, cases…, when are you going to finish that case of yours and come home. You know, your friends are worried about you. And Sonoko is always asking me about you. She keeps claiming we're boyfriends/girlfriends." Ran finished her sentence half complaining of course, Sonoko is always like that. Shinichi just laughed slightly putting his half-moon-eyed expression on his face.
"I guess," he finally said walking back to the café located at the cabin Inn, holding his snowboard under one arm.
"Ran I promise I'll call you again, but for now I gotta go back to working on this case." Shinichi said as if it was an usual or unusual way of ending a conversation. Normally you would say, I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow.
"You sure promise a whole lot Shinichi, but can you promise, you'll come back and tell me what-on-earth is going on? I miss you Shinichi, and…I…I love you, more than anyone in the world," Ran said with a cherry yet blushed expression on her face. I don't know why I said that she thought
Shinichi then stopped at the door way of the cabin. His jacket covered with snow, his face almost beat red. Which caught attention of silently giggling girls. His snowboard was almost falling to the ground. Ran's dad was peering over his newspaper as if he overboard his newspaper as if he overheard his daughter's conversation. Thus, the odd expression on his face.
"R Ran, thank you and I miss you too. But I will tell you everything when I get back." he realized he's still standing in the snow, thinking at the same time, damn, now I'm really screwed up.
Struggling with a fight inside
Sorrow you'll defeat
The picture you see it won't disappear
Not unpleasant dreams or her voice you hear
"I guess, I should let you go, I don't want to keep you from your work." Ran said quickly.
"ah, right, um listen. I know how you feel, and I thought you'll hate me for leaving you like that, so thank you. I have to go, bye Ran. Take care of Conan and yourself. Bye" a/n: laughs telling Ran to take care of Conan.. AKA Shinichi…
"bye Shinichi, I promise I will bye Shinichi!" Ran said as they both hanged up.
Then as Conan (Shinichi) walked into the Inn, in all deep thoughts again. She finally told me how she felt but why? I haven't even told her what the truth is. Something sure is strange about Ran. I bet it's Sonoko he thought sarcastically. Nah, he thought again, and sighed, it could never be true. Then he hung his head with another sigh. Finally he reached Ran's table and just as he claimed his seat next to Ran as usual.

"what's wrong Conan-kun?" you're signing, aren't you having fun? She asked looking at Conan with a curiosity look on her face.
"nothing's wrong Ran-neechan," Conan replied with a child's look on his face.
Maybe one time lost
But now you're found
Stand right up before
You hit the ground
Maybe one time lost
But now you're found
Stand right up before
You hit the ground
- hit the ground
You know where you've sent her
You sure know where you are
You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
