"some secrets are better kept than revealed" an ancient saying warns us,indicating that some secrets could destroy maybe not physically but mentally.It is tough keeping secrets especially from your loved ones and even more so when you know that it could change lives and the way you perceive things.
" Have you ever thought what it would be to lives two lives at the same time .It's hard enough to overcome the problems one faces and facing two of these without rest shows you how strong his mental fortitude is ,so cut him some slack,Ai-chan",said Prof.Agasa with his nose buried deep in a new invention he was cooking for Shinichi.
"True Hakase, but he should'nt have revealed himself to Ran so fast,what if the BO had caught wind of it ,does he know what he is putting in harm's way. I can't understand his urgency ,the BO is not something to be lightly." but that was not she was thinking she had hoped somewhere in her heart that she would have Conan/Shinichi to her self,but with what had taken place over the last few days she thought that the tiny flame of her hope had been extinguished but that hope still remained.True the concept of the BO no longer remaining was truly mouthwatering which meant that she could live freely without having to look over her shoulder ever so often and also that she could experience the wonders of the adult world without having to fear for tomorrow.She had fantasized about taking a vacation a cruise sounded alluring ,the possibility of an unknown adventure on the vast seas ,the fresh salty air gently caressing her face and blowing her hair ,the scenic beauty of the setting sun in the horizon ,the orange rays of light grazing the surface of the sea as if God was painting his daily portrait. All this was good but these are things that are nor meant to be seen or experienced alone but in the company of the one you love and the only person she could think of was Shinichi ,he was the only one who shared in some mysterious way the burden fate had placed on them .She thought that this secret that they shared would bring them closer, but the bond between Ran and Shinichi was something she had not taken into her calculation. But to her it seemed like more like a one sided affair .Shinichi being serious while Ran more like a doting sister, it was good news to her that they had'nt progressed beyond the bonds of childhood friends.
"Oi! Ai-chan what are spacing out like that for" said Agasa who was still buried in the pile of parts he was assembling.
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of the door being open and shut and a drenched Conan taking of his raincoat entered the room ."Hakase, the skateboard still runs out of power too fast ",he said hanging his coat on the rack " I think one of the solar panels might have been damaged " he said as he caught the sight of Haibara standing in the room ."Haibara, what are you standing there like a doll for and why are you blushing "he said laughing.
caught off guard she said"Im not blushing you oaf"she felt a little embarrassed about what she was thinking earlier."So what are you here for Mr.Cocky high school detective" she said with a smirk.
"Well miss create a toxic drug shrink me down and then make an antidote that screws ur system up" said Shinichi unable to contain his laughter, tears in his eyes."Sorry Dr.Kookubarra. i meant haibara-nating no haibara, sorry could'nt resist the pun, why r u so upset seeing me were you two guys talking things about me ,well i came to ask Hakase if he finished my invention." he said walking over to the table where Hakase was.
"I'm done shinichi" he said "my latest master-piece,i could make a fortune if i sold this he said all types of manufacturing companies would die to get their hands on this" he said bursting into his so very often im a genius i told you laugh which made Shinichi wanna puke ."Well Hakase what kind of idiotic thing did you make for him this time ,the last one was a pair of suction cup shoes nearly killed him when he tried to climb up the side of the building ,the long distance mini telescope you made him was reflecting his own image to him which made him think that somebody was dressed like him,and not to mention the exploding gum that would explode after chewing twice that got stuck to your mouth and nearly blew your teeth off.Well im going to my room, I dont wanna die as a witness to your madness and his craziness" she said as she hurried downstairs afraid Shinichi would suspect something was wrong with her.
"Well Shinichi its completed ,the super glue ,I dont know what you wanted it for but its based on the same principle as the automotive glues used to glue together engine parts, but ive taken it a little further by adding a chemical resin compound to increase its hardness also i created a chemical to dissolve it in case of accidental use. I've added the glue into small glass balls to prevent it from exposure to air all you need to do is throw one of these the ball breaks and the glue hardens with contact to air,very simple is'nt it, Oh I also made a compartment in your belt to accommodate those."he said.
"Well thanks Hakase I need to go Ran's alone at home as oji-san has gone with the inspector on some case and you know she has'nt been herself lately and she keeps following me around and calls me Shinichi .If I tell her I'm Conan she smiles and says she knows and she just likes to think I'm him as I look similar to him when he was a kid.Well I dont know if its stress but ..."he said sighing "Good night Hakase and thanks again, Ill see you tomorrow"he said as he left closing the door.the few instants for which the door was open allowed a cold draft of air from the outside to enter the house chilling Hakase's bone making him wonder if things were going to get any colder.
