Chapter 1

" So Kid's out to steal the heaven's tear diamond?" asked Conan curiously as he settled down on a bench beside another teen who is currently reading the front page of a news paper.

"Yup!" grinned Kaito as he poked his head out of the pages to look at his little tantei.

Conan gasped.

"Y-you looked exactly like-"

"My name is Kaito Kuroba, pleased to meet you."

Conan gaped at the teen, he hadn't seen ANYONE who could look so like himself in his old body… wait a minute, last time Kid showed up as Shinichi, he HADN'T been wearing a mask, suggesting either he's found a way of changing appearance at will or… his real face looks really similar to his own.

"Kid?" he whispered.

"Shhh" said Kaito, glancing around nervously. "Don't just go saying that in public! There are people searching for me you know!"

"Like there isn't anybody who doesn't want the famous Kid behind bars." snorted Conan. "So anyways, what interest do you have for this little gem? I thought you've found your target and had thrown a party for it."

Kid chuckled. "Still pretty sharp I see. But can't a thief have a little fun?"

Conan glared.

"Okay okay, so I do have a purpose." said Kid. "have you heard of Pandora?"

"I thought you've already got it."

"Yes. But there's more to it than you know. Are you ready for a story?"

Long long ago, on the first trip to the moon in history. The team arrived on the surface, trying to scan for any life forces. the captain sent scouts all over the moon, searching for anything interesting, Sadly, there was only rocks and moor rocks. But then...

"Commander! Come here quickly! I believe we've found something unusual!"

hardly believing their luck, the commander of the spaceship head over to the small crowd who was gathering around what seems like a huge rock, the size of a closed laptop and completely round.

"C'mon, toss it away." Said the commander bitterly, disappointed. "It's just an ordinary stone."

"But commander!" said one young man in the crew, "We just saw it glowing red a few moments ago."

Now the commander was angry. His crew was making fun of him of how he fell for it, he thought.

In his anger, he went and picked up the rock, and threw it to the ground with all his might.

The rock split into half.

The whole crew gasped.

Inside each half of the rock laid a blood red stone, each stone identical to the other. Their glow could even be seen on earth, whose people looked up and saw the tiny red glow somewhere on the moon.

Back on the moon, the people there started to name the stones. Many names were considered, The star, the blood stone, and a lot more names were suggested. But the name chosen was the moon stone.

When the crew returned to earth, the moon stones were immediately stolen from their grasp bu greedy thieves ("reminds you of anyone?" asked Conan to Kaito. Kaito just shrugged and continued on)

A century later, a gang of thieves gotten the stone and just as a comet passed, one of the stone started to leak out a substance that grants immortality unless the immortal person gets murdered of suicide. The second stone flashed as brightly as the sun and when the flash died down, the person holding it was completly healed. any scars, any illness, all healed.

The name 'moonstones' were lost and was replaced by the name 'Pandora' for the immortality stone, and 'the philosopher's stone' for the healing stone. And over the years, the stones grew more and more distant from each other until neither was heard from on the face of the earth. Their names had simply disappeared.

"You see, tantei-kun?" said Kaito softly, "The stone I destroyed is only a half of a even bigger stone, which, if owned, can be a lot useful in your little research for the cure." Kid said to a wide-eyed Conan. "oi oi, earth to Conan! do you hear me?"

Conan just ignored him. He thought about Kid's story. If the philosopher's stone aka the moon stone, can cure anything, anyone, and he was technically 'poisoned', then...

"How long do we have until the next comet passes?" he asked in a strangled whisper.

And there we have it! the first chapter of 'tic toc midnidnight'! it's sad that only one person voted on the poll but at least you chose my favorit one. (3
