A quick note before we begin: I wrote this when I was in the sixth grade and going through a Sherlock Holmes phase. My writing then was just as ridiculous as it is now. Be prepared for extreme OOC-ness.
Holmes was in one of his moods-playing his violin and smoking incessantly-when he sat bolt upright in his chair.
"Watson," said he. "I have a sudden craving for fudge."
"Fudge, Holmes?" I asked, quite surprised.
"Yes. Let us pay a visit upon the village candy store."
"Truly, Holmes, your timing is as perfect as ever. Just this morning I myself felt a hankering for Jelly bellies. I shall purchase some when you buy your fudge."
We put on our hats and coats and went out into the streets of London. It being a dreary day, we hired a hansom to take us downtown. Holmes' eyes were bright as they were only when he was on a case or when he was on his way to get fudge.
We pulled up outside the shop, paid the driver, and were about to enter when Holmes froze. He pointed in the store window.
"That man, there, buying the lollipop."
"Yes?" I asked, confused.
"Do you not see? It is Moriarty himself! He has somehow survived the plunge over Reichenbach Falls."
I gasped. "Surely we must away with as much haste as possible!" I said, starting to jog away.
"You may go, Watson, but I must stay for two reasons. First, if Moriarty is back, then we will inevitably face each other at some point; better that I surprise him. And secondly, I came to this shop to purchase fudge and I will not leave without it."
I was as ever unable to resist the action that followed Holmes wherever he went. "I'll stay," I said.
"Good, Watson! Now, follow me and don't do anything stupid." He pushed the door open. The bell attached to it made an ominous dinging noise.
Moriarty turned, licking his lollipop. His face betrayed not a flicker of surprise when he saw Holmes.
Holmes, too, kept his countenance neutral. "Well, if it isn't old Moriarty. And how did you survive the fall over Reichenbach Falls?"
"I'm sorry," our old enemy said. "But do I know you?"
"Why, yes!" Holmes said in surprise. "I am Sherlock Holmes, your arch nemesis and your match in wit!"
"Oh!" Moriarty said. "Unfortunately, I woke up at the bottom of Reichenbach Falls some time ago with no memory of my life before."
"If that's the case, then," said Holmes. "Goodbye!"
We purchased our fudge and Jelly Bellies and left in peace, never again to be disturbed by Moriarty.
