This is my first fanfic so-- it might not be that good but-- I'll hone my skills in writing. Usually, I write in script-style so it has a lot of speaking parts. Hope you'll like this.
It's the start of their summer vacation!! They have a lot of plans for it too!!

Night to Remember
Chapter 1
"Man! I'm sooooo lazy right now! Why am I always like this when it's Fridays?!" Sonoko shouted.
"Maybe because you know that weekend is coming?" Ran replied.
"Yeah, but I-- think I've--" Sonoko paused to think, "OH NOOO!! I totally forgot the homework in math!! What to do? WHAT TO DO?!" she said panicking.
"Whoa! Easy there tiger. Let's just find someone who can help us with your problem."
"Wow! Help... US... with MY problem?!" Sonoko said sarcastically.
Sweat drops in Ran's forehead, "Umm... yeah?"
"Hey Ran!" Shinichi shouted as he entered the room.
"What?"
"You still haven't returned the book you borrowed from me," he said.
"Oh yeah, that," Ran chuckled nervously, "I'll return it on Monday."
"Huh? Why wait 'till monday when you can just go to my house tomorrow and give it to me?"
"Because I haven't finished it yet. I have four more chapters to go."
"But you can just return it tomorrow after you've read those chapters." Shinichi persuaded.
"WAAAHHH!! Stop forcing me to return the darn book!" Ran shouted. I'll return it whenever I'm done with it OK? Either tomorrow, if I have the chance to read it, or the day after that or on Monday or.."
"Yeah, go ahed Ran just say all the days of the week," Sonoko answered sarcastically.
"Well sorry about that," Ran said scratching her head, "Oh yeah! Shinichi, Sonoko has some problems--," she turned to Sonoko as she said this.
"With who I'm going to bring to Osaka," she butted in.
Shinichi just raised his eyebrow, "But-- won't you bring Ran?" he said while pointing at Ran.
"She's just kidding," Ran said, "Her real problem is her math homework."
"No. Actually I found out that I did it," Sonoko waved the paper where her math homework is.
Ran blinked thrice in confusion, "Okay, I guess the problem is solved."
"But we really re going to Osaka tomorrow," Sonoko informed them, "My dad said that I could bring my friends along," she giggled.
"But why me?" Shinichi asked.
"You're Ran's guest not mine,"
"Are you sure? Maybe you're just being forced into this,"
"You teasing me detective?"
"Whatcha think?"
"Shinichi-- our teacher in Science wants to see you by the way," Ran blurted in.
"What does he want with me?"
"I don't know,"
"Maybe you're in trouble," Sonoko scoffed.
"Well, I hope not. Thanks Ran!" Shinichi said leaving the room.
"Ran? Ran... RAN!! RAN!" Sonoko shouted over and over again. Ran got out of her flashback from the second month of classes. As soon as Sonoko said "RAN!" she was back to reality.
"Huh? What is it?" Ran turned her head here and there.
Sonoko sighed, "Weren't you listening to a thing I'm saying? I said, do you want to come with us to Okinawa?"
"Yeah! Sure!!" Ran said without hesitation.
"So it's settled! By the way... won't you bring your detective friend along?"
"No. Shinichi's a guy! He might get left-out since we're both girls."
"OK! And do you know why your husband is absent today?"
"He's not my husband."
"Fine, your lover!"
"Shut up!" Ran blushed when Sonoko said this. "It's just the same reason why he was absent for a long time in school."
"Ah! A case has fell upon him again." Sonoko said rolling her eyes.
"Anyway, did you finish the work that our teacher left us?"
"Just two more items and I'm done!"
After Sonoko and Ran passed their papers to their substitute teacher, they were allowed to go home. Sonoko, as usual, was fetched from school. While Ran was walking to her house, she stopped by the supermarket to buy the things she needed to prepare their dinner. After Ran bought all she needed she got a text message from Shinichi saying "Go to the park". Ran thought of going back to her house first before she went there; but that didn't happen. Instead, she brought along with her the groceries.
Ran waited for a long time. She was absorbed in her thoughts of regret for she brought the groceries with her. However, while she was sitting on a bench; Shinichi was sneaking up on her.
"Hey!!" Shinichi shouted while putting a cold can of soda on her cheek.
Ran screamed, turned around and touched her cheek. "You scared the heck out of me!!"
"You're still the same Ran! Ever since we were kids you were so easy to surprise," Shinichi chuckled.
Ran turned red in anger and embarrassment, "Sure! Laugh all you want detective! I'm so sorry for being so easy to surprise! Hmph!" Once she said this she looked away.
"Hey, don't get mad." Shinichi sat beside Ran.
"So, why'd you want me here? Did you solve the case?" Ran's anger subsided.
"Yeah. It took me longer than I expected though."
"As always. You're so full of yourself."
"What?! That's the truth."
"Here we go again with your 'truth' things. And you didn't answer my other question."
"Well-- do you have any plans for summer? Like a trip or something?"
"Sonoko invited me to go Okinawa with her,"
"Oh, I see. How long will that be?"
"I don't know. She still hasn't told me yet. Why?"
"Nothing. I was just thinking-- that you'll go to the summer festival-- with me, that's all," Shinichi blushed as he said this.
"Sure! I'll go with you!"
"What?"
"I'll go with you. Is it hard to believe that I'm saying 'yes'?"
"Well-- no. I just didn't catch it."
"And exactly how long are we going to stay here?"
"Oh yeah. I'll walk you home."
"Are you sure Shinichi? I'm not troubling you am I?"
"No. Not at all." he stood up and saw the grocery bags Ran was holding, "And I'll carry those." he said while taking the bags from Ran.
"Uh... Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I was the one who kept you here. It's no problem." Shinichi smiled at Ran and started to walk. "Let's go!"
Ran smiled in reply and caught up with Shinichi. "Thanks a lot."
"Don't mention it."
Shinichi walked Ran to her house while babbling things about Sherlock Holmes. Ran almost bursted out her anger if Shinichi hadn't stopped in time. She actually didn't know why he stopped, but was glad he did. When they arrived at Ran's house, the two really didn't say anything at all except "I'll see you next time" and "Take care" and "Bye, thank you." Both thought it stupid that those were the only words that came out of their mouths, but couldn't think of anything to say at the time. When Shinichi finally left he thought to himself how stupid he was for being so lame. Didn't he already tell Ran how he felt!? He was engrossed in his own thoughts that he didn't realize that he was already at the gate of his house. At least Dr. Agasa was there to snap him out of his own world.

Sonoko's a super rich girl huh? She always invites people to somewhere. I wonder how it's like to have a friend like that. And can Ran and Shinichi get even more shy? They still act like friends!
