Time froze like a concrete ice block when they were held captive by her warm and amusing eyes. Corrupted visions and blurry memories were triggered in their heads. An image of a strawberry blonde girl whose face was blurred appeared on a small screen laughing with them along with a raven haired boy whose face was also somewhat erase.

After that there was another memory flashed on the small screen. There were blood, bullets and shattered glass fragments on the ground and again they saw the girl holding a gun and pointed it at her head. Then she spoke but there were no sound heard and slowly pressed the trigger.

BANG!

Things they were able to vision back there brought them confusion and doubt among themselves. They knew nothing about that memory nor the two children laughing with them. They just knew they were just three in the Detective Boys and there were no one else.

Then a spark of realization was send down to their spine and snapped their brain cells to work. Ayumi rubbed her temple while Genta furiously scratched his head for they couldn't accept the truth that something from the beginning was wrong.

They couldn't remember the Detective Boys origin.

Mitsuhiko thought about it thoroughly and glanced at his two friends who were also confused. There was a possibility that they met the girl back ten years ago and formed the group with them, but why couldn't they remember that day. He silently sighed as he rolled back his eyes off the girl to their teacher.

"Everybody I would like you to meet Haibara Sherry, she came from a prestigious school from America and today she's going to be under our care" their teacher said. "So I would like you to be friends with her, okay?"

"Yes"

"Okay then" their teacher said and looked at Haibara. "Is it okay to you to be seated next to Yoshida-san over that corner?"

The girl silently nodded and walked towards her seat. Ayumi who just went out from her dazed, flinched when the strawberry blonde sat beside her. She couldn't ignore staring at the girl for she was too eerie until lunch.

AYUMI POV

During our lunch, Genta and Mitsuhiko pleaded for me to share my homemade lunch with them.

"Please Ayumi-chan, your sushi is the best one I've ever tasted in my whole life" Mitsuhiko pleaded

"It is not just the best, it's the best of the best." Genta added

"Stop it! I won't give you even a single one of my sushi" I shouted as I run to the rooftop

They are following me until I reached the knob and opened it. There we found the transfer student staring sternly at the sky. It turned around and looked at us like she wanted to tell us something that she couldn't say with words.

Then I ask her "Do you mind if we join you? Don't worry we won't bother."

There was a moment of silence, then she finally nodded. We sat beside her and I offer her a sushi as I give Mitsuhiko and Genta one.

As Mitsuhiko and Genta swallowed my sushi they shouted "This sushi is the best among the best!"

She took one of my sushi and offered her packed sweet with us. As we gladly accepted it she took a bite on the sushi and opened her mouth hoping to say a word about it.

"Do you like it, I made it. . . . . . . . By the way, do you want to be friends with us? We think we need you and we also think that you need us" I said trying to be friends with her

She smiled and finally whispered "If you can keep being yourself I have no doubt that we could be friends 'again'. And if you guys can be this intelligent enough there is no doubt you will be knowing the secrets I knew that you should know about by now."

MITSUHIKO POV

I know that I am not good with girls and the only girl I can tolerate is Ayumi-chan and looking at Haibara-san makes me think that I can be a close friend to her soon.

After having lunch, we went down and go directly to the washrooms and I saw Sherry-san went outside the restroom, took her phone out and started calling somebody but I couldn't hear her because of the distance. I waited for everybody to finish and finally come out of the restroom.

"Hey!" I finally cleared my throat and speak "Haibara-san, I was just wondering but who are you talking to at the phone earlier"

She smirked and said "It was just my cousin. He will be studying here starting next week. Right now he is just going to unpack his things and prepare his papers for the school as soon as possible. I hope you can be friends with him and please don't be so formal, you can call me Sherry or anything you are comfortable to call me."

As I heard her speak, I kinda felt that I not just met to her before but I felt that I have like her before but I don't know when. And all of the sudden, my heart begin to pound like I think I am liking her now. Without noticing Genta and Sherry went outside and wait for us there. Then Ayumi-chan just brought me back to the world.

"Mitsuhiko-kun. . . Mit-su-hi-ko-kun!" she shouted

"Ah" I was surprised "What it is Ayumi-chan"

"I was going to ask if you want to go walk home with us. And I think this can be an opportunity because we are going to escort Sherry-chan home."

"Wh-what? She allowed us to visit her?"

"Yes. Shall we go out now they might be waiting for us now?"

"Okay"

GENTA POV

While waiting for Ayumi and Mitsuko, I am outside buying cones of ice cream for me and Sherry-san. And looking at her makes me think that she only eats ice cream during occasions because she looks too cute to look at while she's licking the ice cream. It makes me think that she is the little girl in my memory but seeing her is like thinking that she is to calm to do such things. Oh my I think I am very confuse and makes me want . . .

"EEL RICE!" I shouted

"Kojima-kun, are you okay?" She gently asked.

"Ah, sorry I was just thinking so much that it makes me very hungry."

"Is that so? Why don't you come have dinner with me at my house? It is an invitation, don't worry and I am the one who will me cooking tonight."

"Are you serious? Well if you insist to."

"Thank you for not letting me down"

"Your we-"

"Hey! Sorry we made you guys waiting it's just I left my books inside the classroom." Ayumi interrupted "Oh sorry I think they are in a middle of a conversation, Mitsuhiko-kun"

"It's okay I am just going to ask you guys to eat dinner with me. There will be pudding, shrimp and-"Sherry said

"AND EEL RICE!" I interrupted "Oh sorry I am just so excited to eat your hand cooked eel rice"

We started walking before it gets darker. And the farther we walk are the more time we have to be closer to her. At first, she looks mysterious and every time we took a step forward towards her she takes a step away from us. When will she take the step towards us? So that someday we may know what secret lies at the tip of her tongue that we could not make her spit.
