Disclaimer: If I owned this it wouldn't be as awesome seeing as Shinichi would have spilled a long time ago!
A/N: Ran gets a present this time!

Ran sighed as she stared longingly at the phone, as if her gaze could coax it to ring.
She had practically waited her whole birthday for a certain idiotic detective to call.
"-nee-chan!"
Ran blinked, her attention drawn to the little boy at her knee, shaking it to get her attention.
"Yes, Conan-kun?"
Conan gave her a sad look as he glanced at the phone and then back at her. "Were you thinking about Shinichi-nii-chan?"
Ran ran her fingers through Conan's bangs. "I don't know Conan-kun. I was just hoping he'd call."
Conan looked down guiltily.
"Hm, Conan-kun what's wrong?"
Conan refused to look at her as pulled a small box out of his pocket. "Well, I was supposed to give this to you earlier, but I didn't want to make you sad."
Ran took the box with curiosity, noting that it was wrapped as a present. She tore the paper off revealing that it was a jewelry box.
She cracked the box opened, and immediately noticed the folded piece of paper. She picked it up holding it out of the way and gazed at the beautiful sivler and green amber ring. Unfolding the piece of paper she recognized Shinichi's handwriting.
Ran,
I hope this makes it to you on your birthday. I wish I could just solve this case! Until then, think of this ring as my promise to return home.
-Shinichi
Ran gave a wistful smile as she slipped on the ring. "Thank you for giving Shinichi's gift."
Conan tilted his head to the side. "You're not sad?"
Ran shook her head with a gentle smile. "Nope. I'm not sad at all."
Conan paused for a moment, before he gave a wide smile. "Then can I give you my gift?"
Ran nodded. "Sure."
Conan hurried to his room and came back a minute later with a flower bouquet badly hidden behind his back.
Conan held out a bouquet of Lotus, Lavender, Forget-me-nots, and pink Camellias. "These are from me! Happy Birthday!"
Ran's eyes focused on the Forget-me-nots; she had always thought of them as a romantic flower and now a seven-year-old had given her some. "Ne, Conan-kun, why'd you pick these flowers?"
Conan shrugged. "I thought they were pretty. Ne, don't you like them?"
Ran waved her hand franticly assuring the little boy that they were very much appreciated.
If the young woman had bothered to look up what the flowers meant she would have been rather surprised at Conan's "random" choices.
