A/N: I DON'T OWN DETECTIVE CONAN AND MAGIC KAITOU. Sorry for the grammar mistakes.
A handsome young teen of 16 years with brownish hair, a peculiar cowlick and determined azure eyes woke up to the welcoming rays of the warm sun by the gap of his curtains. Fixing his bed, he then proceeded to fully open the curtains to allow the blinding light to enter his room. Inhaling the fresh air, a sincere smile appeared to his face like someone reminiscing a memory.
'I met him on the summer of 8 years ago.'

Since school's out and my parents wanted to spend some time with me, they decided a change of the atmosphere. Thus here am I today in the very first day of summer vacation in front of our ancestral home in the province. Honestly I didn't mind the province for a change in scenery will do me good. It will allow my mind to drift from that unfaithful accident with my forgotten friend when I was six years old. The real reason for this is to let my loved ones stop from worrying.
Our ancestral home is as expected huge but well kept. The windows and floorboards look old but very sturdy. The plants are carefully tended from the assortment of flower beds and fruit bearing trees. A river can be seen not far away where you could fish or take a swim. This is like a paradise hidden from our naked eyes. As I feast my eyes with all this new wonderful glory my eyes suddenly focus in a wild rose growing from the side of the fence. It looks magnificent and alluring with its deep crimson petals but at same time it still possesses deadly thorns. My mind unexpectedly started to remember my friend's normal quirkiness giving me red roses and calling me embarrassing nicknames.
"Shin-chan are you ok?" my Kaa-san asked loking worried. I haven't even notice that I started spacing out.
"Kaa-san, I'm fine," I replied faking a smile. 'That's right I came here to relax and enjoy the summer.'
After depositing our luggage, I deciced to make way to the guest room and read Sherlock Holmes: Sign of Four. My Tou-san notices and said,"Shinichi, stop with the Holmes for a while. We are on vacation. Stroll around the farm or visit the forest but be wary of the forest spirits. They might make fun of you." I rolled my eyes saying,"Tou-san, mountain spirits or whatnot aren't true. "
"Hai, hai if you say so. Don't take too long and be back before dinner or your mother will worry."
"Hai"
Nothing better to do and poor Holmes confiscated, a sightseeing trip is on my own is set.

*After Chibi Tantei's adventure*
The river's pristine water is very refreshing along with the calming gush of the water and the occasional mountain breeze. I lay down by the shade of an old tree. Fatigue from my adventure made me drift to dreamland as fast as a light switched off. I never thought that the memories of that day will decide to haunt me in my sleep.

At Playground
"Ne, ne Shin-chan^^ look," said a certain messy haired boy to his friend while juggling multi-colored balls. The said boy clearly not impressed returned his attention to his book. He did not realize his sudden change of clothes after the remnants of pink smoke.
"Wh..What the, BAKA!" he shouted clearly angry from the mischievous act made by his grinning friend. Shin-chan found himself wearing a blue dress tied by a ribbon in the back. His hair tumbled by to long brown locks. Needless to say, he looked dazzling.
"I hate you, I told you no more pranks." he said while walking away.
"But Shin-chan you look cute. I could almost kiss you. "the boy chirped back and started to follow the not-girl. A sudden flash of red appeared in the not-girl's cheeks. "B..baro no more jokes." He continued his supposed walk out but small hands appeared from his waist which tightly hugged him.
"Shin-chan do you really hate me?" the sudden change in the messy haired boy's tone caught his attention. Shinichi turned to look at his captor's face and with worry in his voice asked," Are you okay?" He poked the messy haired boy's side but he was still not answering.
Shinichi finally said,"Gomenasai, I really like you c'mon I was just surprised at what you said. Please answer me." The mischievous boy suddenly stifled a laugh until he can't hold it anymore. "Hahahaha…Shin..hahhah-chan… the look in hahahah your face was hahahha precious hahahha."
Worry became anger and he shouted," I really hate you. We aren't friends anymore. Leave me alone, I was just worried about you but you just laughed at me. Go away…I hate you." His harsh tone was clearly not intended but warm pools of tears that were dripping from his eyes clearly showed his point.
The messy-haired boy stopped laughing and was shocked to see his Shin-chan crying. "Shin-chan gome-." He was cut off when Shinichi decided to run away feeling hurt by the supposed joke.
He was running aimlessly and trying to wipe his tears in vain. ' I hate you..you idiotic magician' the thought was ringing in his ears. As he run, and still wipe his tears, Shinichi didn't notice an approaching truck coming by. As Shin-chan was about to be hit by the raging truck he felt himself pushed out of the road. He turned around and in that moment, Shinichi swore that time froze. He saw his friend jumped and pushed him while giving a sad smile mouthing the words, "Gomene.. Hontouni Aishiteru Shin-chan." The words were instantly lost as the said owner of those loving yet hurtful words was hit by the moving force.
BAM!
End of Dream

Shinichi suddenly jolt-up from his sleep. He felt a trickle of tears in his eyes and he instantly did the routine of taking deep breaths to calm his self. "I thought I've forgotten about you. I remember those words, that smile and your weird antics but why can't I remember your face. As if your existence was suddenly washed out from my memories. I know it hurts but I still want to remember you're my friend after all or maybe…"a sudden blush appear in his face but he shook it off "..nothing."
Shinichi always speak to him. He thinks that his forgotten friend is somewhat still listening.
I went by the river and washed my face. Out of the blue, a white butterfly appeared and landed gracefully on another wild rose located on the other side. The butterfly was somehow glowing in whiteness and I found myself mesmerized by its mysterious elegance. My curiosity taking over me, I decided to follow it until I realized I was lost in the forest. The sky was starting to cast a shadow signifying that it was about to be night time.
I tried different paths until I accepted defeat and sit under a tree. I clutched my knees closer and decided to wait until someone helped me. I never thought that help will change my life. "I'm not gonna cry…I'm not." The child said to reassure himself of his current situation until…
"Here, a princess should not cry." A red rose suddenly appeared and given by a white clad figure wearing a white top hat and monocle with a dangling four leaf clover charm. I accepted the rose and said with great defiance, "I'm a boy not a stupid princess."
"Ara, ara seems like our princess has an attitude."
"Hey!" I sound offended.
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ok, need some help, you're lost." He said more of a statement than a question.
"No, I'm only enjoying staying in the woods alone and it's almost dark." Sarcasm sipped in every word.
"Yep, you sure are lost. Even your wits are lost too."
"Hey!" 'That's strike two.'
"C'mon let's go." He offered me an end of a stick while he holds the other end.
"What will I do with that?"
R&R!:))))
