1. the letter
the bell rang at teitan elementrary school.
All the kids were very excited because today was valentines day
which meant they got to eat cake ,drink punch and have fun for
two whole hours.
And yes, the cardtrading too.
First period was nearing its end.
no one was paying any attention to their teacher, gobayashi who was rambling on
about the two times tables.
the members of the 'detective boys' turned to whisper about the cards they brought.
"I brought limited edition yaiba cards!" Mitsuhiko said taking out one of the cards.
" hey i got the same ones..." Genta said, depressed.
" Come on, that doesn't matter" said conan, who had brought holmes cards himself.
"What did you bring Ai?"asked ayumi.
"well i dont see the point of giving store bought cards anyway. it doesnt mean much."
"well..uh"
" kids, pay attention. " said a slightly annoyed gabayashi.
"I know that youre all looking forward to the party, but that's not for a another...thirty seconds"
The bell rang and the kids cheered.
Gobayashi left, shaking her head, and returned with cake and drinks.
She put boxes in the back of the room with each of the kid's names on it,to put in the cards, and stared to slice the cake.
Meanwhile, the kids walked around( with the exception of Ai who was reading a book at her desk) putting valentines into other kids boxes.
When ayumi stopped infront of Ai's desk, she sighed.
"You're no fun, just bring cards, hand them out. What's so hard about that?"
Ai looked up from her book and grinned.
"Why do you care so much?" She asked.
"Because you look sort of lonely. And its a party. You should have fun."
" I'll have fun when i finally get some cake."
"urgh"ayumi gave up.
" Okay kids if you're finished i'll start giving out the cake."
Ai's expression brightened. She loved cake.
The two hours of cardtrading, eating and drinking sped and before they knew it, the kids were moving their desks back to their original positions.
When school ended the members of the detective boys walked to conan's house together.
"Ha! i got 30 valentines, beat that! "
"Um Genta, we're all supposed to get 30 cards."
"oh right.."
"Ran-neechan im home."
"Hey conan. oh and since this is an english fanfic, you don't have to call me neechan."
"Okay."
they walked up to the third floor and put their card boxes on the couch and started to
compare valentines.
when conan was nearing the bottom of his box, haibara pointed something out.
" hey what's that?"
before conan could look Ai reached inside his box and pulled out a small folded
piece of paper.
It was unlike something you might see at see at a store.
"Let me see that."
Ayumi took the paper from Ai's hand and unfolded it.
She read it and covered her mouth." Omigosh"
"What? "Asked the boys.
Ayumi read aloud.
"How I wish my nerves were of steel
to tell you exactly how I feel
I have admired you for quite some time
I think about you at the drop of a dime
if only I could let you know
my fondess for you continues to grow
as witty and intelligent as you are
I know one day you will go far
a lot of cards say 'will you be mine'
how I wish you could be my real Valentine
Your secret admirer"
The boys sat open mouthed.
Ayumi stifled a sob.
Ai asked "do you know who put this inside your box?"
" Um..No"
"Whoa conan. "Mitsuhiko stammered
"Guess somebody in our class really really likes you."
" Hey ayumi did you write it?"asked Genta.
"No!" Said a slightly annoyed ayumi.
"Ai did you?"
"What do you think?"
"Let me see the handwriting." Said conan, who was a detective after all.
"That's weird i've seen this hand writing somewhere but i can't pinpoint it."
"Don't worry conan" Said Genta.
"We can figure it out"
"um..we?"
"Sure."piped up Mitsuhiko
"this is a mystery the detective boys will figure out!"
Ayumi started writing on a notebook.
"here's the name of suspects."she said, holding up a list of girls
most likely to have a crush on conan.
"Suspects?"
"We will visit them one by one." Declared Mitsuhiko
"im in."said Ai holding up her hand grinning.
" might as well have some fun in a while."
"since when have you guys have been so involved in my love life?"
