Meep! Hello, Keruha has written another one of her favorites. I'm really bad at humor but I can't say I didn't try. Don't get mislead about the two made ups in the beginning of the fic. They take up most of this chapter but they're a key role in the story's beginning. Rumors don't start from mid-air you know... or do they?.... OO

Oh yes, and I do own Case Closed. NOT!!!!! If I was the owner of Case Closed why would I be writing a fanfiction? Lol! Oh well, enjoy the first chapter of my insane mind.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A faint wood scent hovered around the room as it was left to dusty silence. Books of all varieties, from fairy tales to dictionaries, were organized on every shelf covering the room. With only the sound of flipping pages and footsteps echoing against its wooden floors, the ancient interior remained comparatively silent. Today was just another calm, normal day at the local library. Furthermore, it would've probably stayed that normal if not for two little girls searching the newspaper section for a classroom report.

Indeed, an ink-haired girl of about seven years of age dug through the headlines while her big sister who was a year older, examined her work closely behind. They were searching for a newspaper article to write a report on. Sara, the younger of the two had been very talkative in her last class and you could say it had cost her. It was her big sister, May who had came along to help her but unfortunately it was clear May didn't think too much of it. As her poor little sister searched desperately for the perfect topic May stood there with her attention flicking here and there. Eventually, her true feelings about the trip to the library caught up with her and she turned to her sister to start a conversation.

"What did you think of last night's Curly Critter?" she asked.

"Oh, it was so awesome. That Winnie is so cute!" Sara replied, somewhat relieved that she had something to do other than flip through old newspapers.

"Yeah, Winnie's cute but Bea is the cutest animal on the show."

"Unh-uh! Winnie is the cutest!"

"No! Bea is."

"No. Winnie is."

"Bea."

"Winnie."

"Bea!"

"Winnie!"

"BEA!!!"

"WINNIE!!!"

SNAP! The sisters gave a sharp flinch at the sudden noise.

"What was that?" questioned May whipping her head madly around for the source.

There they saw a thin old librarian with a rather angry glare on her face. In her grasp was a small wooden ruler. Apparently she had slapped it down on the table to get their attention.

"Shhhh…" she hissed, putting a finger to her lips.

"Oh…right, this is a library. Sorry," Sara's older sister chuckled sheepishly.

The librarian gave a nod then went to a nearby shelf to organize a couple of new fantasy novels into the selection. Despite the library's age, new books would arrive in it everyday. That was why it was well known. Sadly, like the librarian, the building was deteriorating with its increasing age. But for now, it was still the font of all knowledge.

The girls immediately quieted down for the librarian. They were thankful they didn't get into too much trouble that time. However, May, being the stubborn girl she was, gave motivation for the continuation of the argument.

"Bea is still cuter," she whispered.

"Unh-uh," retorted Sara.

"Yeah-huh."

"Unh-uh."

"YEAH-HUH!"

Sara gasped at her sister's loud tone and soon seeing what she had done, May gasped as well. Both of their faces jolted to the librarian to find out how mad she was. It turned out the thin old lady was indeed giving them a cold hard stare but she quietly rolled around noticing the girl's saw their mistake. The two gave a sigh of relief and Sara went back to digging through the ink and paper jungle.

Not too much later a new group of children made their presence in the library. It was a small group containing only a girl and three boys. Like Sara, these kids were at the library to do a report. However despite the rows of books that layed before them, they were having trouble and this wasn't due to lack of information. It was due to the fact that the tall one wouldn't stop messing with a video camera.

"Okay, we're now at the library to do research for our report," the boy lectured while recording his very annoyed friends with the silver white video camera, "Amy is going to do-"

"Mitch, stop playing with your video camera and help us research!" snapped the big one of the group. You may know him as George.

"Come on, you guys thought it was fun when I first got it," Mitch replied relieving his eye from the camera lens.

"That was because we were at your birthday party and we didn't need anything done. But we're working on a report now," Amy stated.

"I don't know you guys. Maybe we should just let him use his video camera. I'm sure he'll catch a lot of exciting stuff here," Conan said with a tone of sarcasm.

Mitch slowly and sadly lowered the camera.

Amy, seeing Mitch's disappointment made an attempt to reassure him saying, "Come on, Mitch. After we finish the report you can play with your video camera all you want."

"Oh-Okay."

Conan rolled his eyes recalling when Mitch first got that video camera. It was a few days ago, on his birthday. They had fun getting the party on tape but ever since the party the boy had used it a lot. Whether it would be spying on girls or bird watching he would be recording their every movement. Why this one time, Mitch tried to stalk him at school with the camera. Conan hoped it was just a passing phase and Mitch would end up forgetting he even had camera.

"Now, come on. Let's get to it," Amy chirped breaking Conan out of his thoughts.

Sara had been searching the articles for quite a while and she still hadn't found anything interesting enough to write on. Her willingness to give up was starting to overcome her as nothing in the newspapers caught her eye. Taking a deep breath, she decided to look at one more newspaper before turning in. The little girl slid the last black and white highlight off the stack and flipped it over to view the front page. There she saw a long lost missing person.

"Jimmy Kudo?"

May, who was just recently scanning through a dictionary for naughty words looked over her sister's shoulder to glance at what she was looking at. She was taken back at the huge picture of a smiling teenage boy wearing a bowtie.

"Woah, that's that teenage detective guy that disappeared a few months ago," May gasped.

"I wonder what happened to him," responded her sister.

"I don't know. Some kids say he went overseas, others say he got shot, and some even say he got eaten by a monster."

"Wow…"

The older sister shook her head.

"I'm sort of disappointed he vanished. I kind of liked him."

"You had a crush on him didn't you," Sara said smirking.

"A crush!? Now, come on! He's seventeen years old and I'm eight! There's a difference you know!"

The little sister continued to grin slyly as she knew May was trying to hide the fact her face was the color of a strawberry and the eight-year-old, seeing her expression remain so, whipped around crossing her arms.

"Hmph!"

May's attention soon went to the group of kids searching the shelves for a book to help them on their report. Her eyes focused on Conan who was working along the lower shelves of the section.

"Sara, who's that?" she asked her sister.

"Who?"

"That boy with glasses. Who is he?"

"Oh that's Conan. I don't really get him. He never pays attention in class yet he still gets straight A's. I've also seen him read huge books."

"Hey, could you give me the newspaper with Jimmy Kudo on it?"

The 2nd grade student tried to hide a giggle.

"Come on, sis! You don't really think he's a high school detective in disguise do you?"

"Just give me the paper, Sara!"

Sara handed the headlight to the ink-haired girl giggling. Her giggling soon came to a sharp end when she noticed the resemblance.

"Wow! They look so much alike," Sara gasped.

"You don't think…"

"Well, he was always weird and smarter than usual."

Conan apparently found the book he was looking for and turned around to notify the rest of the group. However, he saw the two spies in the process. The girls quickly hid the paper in response and looked away, pretending to be innocent. The boy stood there for a moment, curious, but soon gave a shrug and went over to show his friends what he came up with. The sisters registered their safety and went back to spying on him.

"Sara, we definitely need to tell people this."

"Yeah."

The two girls slinked out of the library. They were ready to tell the world their hypothesis on the missing detective and nothing could stop them. Just as they reached the bottom of the stairs outside, Sara stopped with a troubled expression playing upon her face.

"What's wrong?" questioned May.

"I still have to do a report."

May and Sara stood there clueless on what to say until May's mouth opened to respond with a shaky,

"Oh… Oh yeah…"

So what did you think? Fun, yes? No? Ah, whatever. If you're curious about Curly Critters it's a random show I made up that's sort of like Hello Kitty. Oh, and Winnie and Bea are the names of two of my villagers in Animal Crossing. -glares at friend staying over- Say something mortal!

That was funny. -sweatdrop-

My friend has spoken.

-On the floor laughing-

You're weird but... so am I...
