A/N: This is my first Conan fanfiction, my first try at writing something of this sort. Please read and review, I'd like to know what you thought. Flames are welcomed.
The four members of the Detective Boys, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Haibara had a mission. Today was the fourth of May, Konan's birthday. They had all noticed how gloomy and recessive the normally friendly boy had been these last few weeks. They intended to brighten him up by throwing him a surprise party.
----------It had started a week ago, when….
Ayumi had come up with the idea of a surprise party after watching Konan stare out the window with a blank look the whole day. He had been aloof and distant from everybody, and didn't seem to have any enthusiasm for anything. Even a mystery case had failed to raise his spirits as much as before. Frankly, she was confused as to why he was so unhappy, but a birthday party would cheer anyone up! (anyone=children apparently)
After hearing about the suggestion, both Mitsuhiko and Genta piped up their own "Hai! That's a great idea!" Both boys had also noticed Konan's strange behaviour.
The three then set upon the task of convincing Haibara to take part in their plan, considering she out of the four of them knew Konan best, with their whispering and "adult" conversations. They were prepared to have a tough time convincing her to join them, and already prepared much whining and pleading. Their expressions at the quiet, but promptly given "sure" had set to even the normally expressionless girl's eyes to take on an amused glint.
----------Three days before….
They four each set on their own way, heading to the park to plan the event."Who will take care of the food?" Ayumi asked, looking expectantly at the three first-graders sitting across from her.
After a long discussion on the best setting of the party, ending with a "fine" from the disgruntled Genta, who wanted the party at a newly opened sushi restaurant, with a buffet. He thought with all the food, anyone would want to go there. Instead, the other had shot down the idea with arguments, ending with Haibara's comment on how that would be the location of his birthday party, Konan didn't like food as much as he did.
Thinking, Ayumi said, "I'll take this one. Mitsuhiko-kun and Genta-kun couldn't cook, and Haibara-san has enough to do taking care of Hagase. Now who will do the decoration?"
"I'll do it," volunteered Mitsuhiko, looking at the glint of desperation in Ayumi's eyes.
Ayumi was much happier as Mitsuhiko volunteered himself, "Arrigatou gozaimasu Mitsuhiko-kun!"
Not to be out done, Genta immediately volunteered for finding the entertainment. Haibara therefore took the job of getting Konan to the park. Ayumi-chan brightened with excitement, merrily chirping, planning everything for the big day.
A/N: Ok, I know that wasn't a lot, and it was more like a prologue… I have the whole thing written, if I get a review or two, I'll post the rest up. If only my friend, then I'll just give them the draft. I don't want to spend an hour typing this all up, so please R/R! As long as there are more than two reviews, I'll continue. Thanks for actually reading this far, please R/R!
