Pre-Ace: Casual Call


"Jimmy, where are you?" Rachel replied over the phone.
"I can't tell you that, Rachel. I've got to go, sorry, Rachel," Conan replied through his voice changing bow tie that was using Jimmy's voice.
"No, wait! Jimmy, don't go! I love you!" Rachel blurted out in a rush to make sure he heard her. Conan stopped in a pause on the other-side of the phone.
"Jimmy, you there?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, I'm still here," Conan replied as he whispered, "I love you, too, Rachel... Good-bye," and rushed off the phone. Standing there in a daze, Canon leaves the phone hanging in midair wondering about Rachel's feelings.
"Jimmy! Jimmy!? Why do you keep avoiding me?" Rachel replied to dead-space on the phone. She gently hangs up the office phone and stares out the window wondering in a daze about Jimmy Kudo. Conan finally hangs up the phone and starts to walk down the street in the pouring rain with his head hanging toward the ground. With one thought from both Conan and Rachel, (Why?)

(Music plays: "Our Destiny")
[Verse: Female/Rachel (Male/Jimmy*)]

Why do you keep treating me this way?
(*I have no choice, but to leave and now live my life separated from you, my love)
Why do you keep a voiding me?
(*You wouldn't believe me anyway. If I told you the truth now.)
Why is it so hard to see you anymore?
(*It's too painful to let the pain out)
Will I ever see you face-to-face again?
(*Will I ever see you face-to-face again?)

[Chorus: Both/Mixed]

Sadness runs up my spine
*Happiness is on a thin line
Where are you now?
(*Where do I go now?)
Both: Am I ever going to hold you in my arms again?
The sweetness of your lips on mine
Will I, will we ever be together again?
Just us two, you and me
Forever intertwine
Why does it feel like destiny's unkind?
Just yours and mine
(*I want to hold your hand in mine)

(Music ends)

"Hi! I'm Jimmy Kudo, a famous crime caper detective. While I was watching a crime scene going down; I didn't notice that someone was stocking me. Gin, the goon from the Black Organization, knocked me out and gave me an untested poison which turned me into a child. While Rachel was trying to solve who I truly was, I gave her a name I made up one the spot, Conan Edogawa, to throw her off my trail. figured it would be better to keep my identity a secret; at least, until I solved the Black Organization's case on why they were trying to take me, Jimmy Kudo, out permanently. With all the gadgets, made for my younger self, Canon, I can practically beat any case wide out not like I couldn't do it before. It's just nobody takes a kid seriously. Take Richard Moore for example: he always calls me a moocher and a good for nothing, but as I always say, 'Only one truth prevails!'"
