I don't own Magic Kaitou or Detective Conan.

Thank you for all the favorites, reviews, and alerts. Just a warning there is no Kaito in this chapter it is mostly boring plot next chapter should be the heist.


Shinichi had not planned on a heist being this soon after his dance with the Kaitou KID but thieves wait for no one. The heist note was just as infuriating as all previous ones: "Captive of lights hold, Murder of the moon, Be one time or miss the show." He had solved the puzzle but he was not sure his mother, Yukiko, would be in town as the heist would be today. That all depended on if his father had finished the manuscript in time for the editors. And if his mother was not in town he was not sure he could pull of Miroko.

He was not into girl fashion or anything of the sort like his mother was. And embarrassingly enough his mother actually enjoyed dressing him as a girl even after he hit his teen years. His cell phone started to vibrate and he quickly pulled it out and noticed that it was a text from his mom. Fearing for the worst he quickly opened it and read it once and then again just to make sure he had read it correctly. Yes, he had, his mother was inviting a friend over to help with Shinichi disguising as Miroko. It was bad enough that his mom knew and possible his dad as it was impossible to hide anything from his dad, but now his mother had to bring in a complete stranger onto his secret. Just then he heard the front door open and his mother scream, "Shin-chan, I'm home and I've brought a friend!" Shinichi groaned and figured it was better to get it over with quickly. Shinichi walked into the living room and was not surprised to see his mother with another actress, Chris Vineyard if he remembered correctly.

"Oh, you must be Shinichi; it has been so long since I saw you last." Chris all but shouted upon sighting Shinichi. Then Chris grinned, "I heard from your mother that a certain someone caught your eye and you need to disguise as the girl you met him as, so that you can talk to him again, right?" Shinichi nodded dumb folded as to how his mother had figured it out as he certainly had not told her.

"Now, Shin-chan, give us specifics for your outfit, does it need to be casual of fancy?" Yukiko's eyes were shining with glee at the idea of dressing Shinichi up as a girl and Shinichi was having second thoughts about asking for his mothers help.

He then sighed and figured he was to far forward to go back so he might as well continue forward. "It needs to be something I can run in and possibly perform acrobatic feats without showing whatever lingerie I will be wearing at the time. It would also be preferable if I could get it wet without it becoming see-through." Was it his imagination of did his mother actually seem sad about that last part? "And nothing to warm but able to keep out the wind, I'll be outside all night." He finished and as though sensing that he was done his mother and her friend began to discuss different possibilities.

Suddenly Yukiko smiled at one of Chris's ideas, "That is perfect, now I'll give Shin-chan his figure back and you go find those clothes." Chris nodded and disappeared while Yukiko advanced on Shinichi. Shinichi felt a dark sense of foreboding but ignored it in favor of seeing the Kaitou as Miroko.

Yukiko pulled him to the attic where she began to pull out all the props needed to turn him into Miroko. "Now, Shin-chan, have you figured out Kaitou KID's note yet?" Yukiko asked with a grin not dissimilar to KID's.

Shinichi nodded and answered, "Yes." Wondering how his mom knew about his fixation on the thief.

Yukiko giggled and disappeared deeper into the attic to return after a few minutes with what appeared to be padded bras. "So care to explain it?" She asked as she was figuring out which size she had used last time and which one of that size felt the most realistic.

"Sure," Shinichi said while watching his mother warily, "'Murder of the moon' refers to the full eclipse tonight, 'Be on time or miss the show' is says that the heist will only last as long as the eclipse, 'captive of the light's hold' combined with 'murder of the moon' gives you the gem Moon Hold currently being displayed in Edoka's museum. 'Captive of the light's hold tells you that he will be arriving from the east and leaving towards the West, following the moon's rising and setting direction." He fell silent having explained the whole riddle and his mother handed him a padded bra and with a wave of her hand told him to go try it one.

Shinichi returned and his mother checked it and decided, no, it was not quite right. After several tries his mother got it right and then continued transforming him into a girl. "Hair is next, Shin-chan. Do you want to wear a wig or hair extensions?" Yukiko asked.

"Hair extensions." Shinichi said immediately not wanting to wear a wig where it might be blown off.

"Okay, Shin-chan."" His mother once again disappeared into the attic and returned carrying a large box of what appeared to be hair. "Thankfully we gave Miroko the same colored hair as you have now and I have a lot of that particular color. What length was your hair at the party?"

Shinichi thought for a moment, "One inch past my elbows." Yukiko quickly found the matching hair length and attached it into Shinichi's hair.

"Now," Yukiko announced, "we wait until Chris comes back with possible outfits then we get your outfit and put your make-up on then you're are ready to go."

Shinichi gave his mother a weird look, "How much make-up are we talking about?"

Yukiko thought for a second, "Not a lot just enough to take away the male angles of you face and make them look more feminine. It will probably be less then we needed for the gala." Shinichi sighed a breath of relief glad not to have to wear copious amounts of make-up.
