In the back of his mind, Shinichi had always had a tentative outline of where he'd be five or ten years down the road.
He'd have an office for his detective work…or he'd join the task force (he was still unsure on that particular point), he'd go to the local University (likely the same one Ran picked out of principle), get a degree focusing on forensic science (or perhaps psychology…again, he was unsure on this matter), and most importantly, he'd make sure that he walked the same path as Ran (if she'd have him).
Nowhere in this plan said anything about his ten years down the road turning into twenty in one fell swoop.
He found himself having to re-evaluate his immediate goals, not to mention his long-term ones.
Suddenly whether or not he studied forensic science over the psychology of the criminal mind wasn't as important as whether or not he'd actually make it through this mess to be able to go to college at all.
On the upside, it seemed he'd be walking the same path that Ran did…albeit as Conan instead of Shinichi.
It was a small consolation.
He had different goals in mind now.
He'd try his hardest to not die. That was important.
He'd bring down the Mysterious Organization that put him in this mess in the first place.
He'd figure out a way to NOT relive his awkward adolescence, if at all possible.
He'd find Ran, once these other goals were completed, explain everything to her, apologize profusely, and proclaim his undying love to her.
And kiss her good.
After he was out of the hospital, he'd hopefully revert to his original long-term goals.

Kinda crack, kinda serious. I had fun with it though. :)
I blame my re-obsession with this series on Candyland.
