It was a nice spring morning. Ran got up to make breakfast for her, her father and Conan. "Conan, Dad, its time for breakfast." she said flipping the pancakes and eggs. Mori kogoro came down the stairs rubbing his eyes with his hands. He sat down and began to eat, but Conan didnt come down stairs. Ran looked around the house calling for him, but he was no where in sight. " Oh, Ran, Conan went with his parents. He told me to tell you goodbye." Kogoro said with food stuffed in his mouth. She was shocked to hear this.

" Really, thats great. I guess." Ran said lokking at his old room. She felt so alone now. Sure she had her father, Kazuha, and Sonoko to turn to, for now, but it just didn't seem right. ' I cant believe he's gone' she thought. She began to go down stairs. "I guess i'll eat his..." Ran began to say, but her father beat her to Conan's food. He looked up with a smile on his face. "Sorry" Kogoro said. She had a sweat drop on the back of her head.

She got her stuff and headed out the door. Standing at the telephone pole ( where she punched it in episode 1) She was suprised to not see Sonoko anywhere. All of a sudden someone's head came over her shoulder and said " look to the right". It scared her to death. She did what she was told to see who it was and it was... "Shinichi" Ran said blushing because they were nose to nose. She scarcely backed away. "What are you doing here! I thought you were on that big case!" She said blinking her eyes in confusion. " What? I'm back now, for good. Are you happy your man is back now?" He said smiling. She punched him in the shoulder.

" Hey, your not my man! And of course I am. You were gone for so long!" Ran said with her cheeks red a little. "I know, I was just kidding" Shinichi said rubbing his shoulder. They began walking to school. " I heard from Sonoko there was a big dance coming up." He said with his head looking at the ground. Ran looked up at him. "Yeah, why?" She said pretending to be looking at stuff on her phone. " I was wondering, Ran , do you want to go with me?" Shinichi said turned the other way.

She was turning a little red and her eyes opened wide. Ran turned to him, but she was to shy so she quickly turned the other way. " Hey, this menu on my phone is really cool! Thanks for it by the way." She said nervesly. ' Did Shinichi just ask me on a date? No its just a dance. But what does it mean to him?' She thought. He looked over at her and smiled with red cheeks. " Your not really looking on your menu Ran. Because if you were, your button tone wouldnt sound like is is now. And there isnt a fresh print on the button either. We have the same phone model Ran. You need to learn more about what you say so you could even be better at karate." He said laughing to cover up the nervousness.

Ran turned to him and said " Fine Sherlock, since yor so smart, you figure out what my answer for the dance is. Hmf" She then walked awaywith her head up high. " Hey! Wait, Ran!" shinichi said running after her. ' He is going out with me. Well, when i say yes to him. I hope thats what he thinks. I'll let him keep calling for me till we get to class. Wait, did he just say my karate was bad!' Ran thought Stopping and turning his way. " Ran, stop! Why did you walk off like that?" He asked her. They were in the class room now. " My karate needs improvement huh? Well I'll just practice my moves on you and see what you think then!" ran said so loud everyone looked at them both.

Sonoko came over. "Ran, whats wrong with you?" Sonoko said. Ran looked her with possesed looking eye and told her "Move Sonoko!". She did just that, fast! Shinichi backed up against the wall as Ran moved toward him. "Ran, wait what are you..." He said sweating with fright. She was probably the only think that scares him. " Hai...yah!" Ran said kicking so hard she put a hole in the wall right next to Shinichi's face. He ran out the door and she chased him. "Come back here!" She yelled making everyone look.

"Ran, please dont hurt me!" Shinichi yelled and he was running so fast, it didnt look like he was running at all! Ran was angry on the outside, but in the inside, she felt good. 'He's back for good. My Shinichi is back' She thought. She had no doubt or regrets about what she did or thought now. It was great she was'nt alone anymore.
