This is the second chapter. Thank you for everyone who read the first part and left their reviews. I feel so touched :)

Teitan Elementary School
"Good morning Haibara-san" Mitsuhiko greeted Ai.
"Hello everyone, good morning" she greeted the rest of the Detective Boys with a radiant smile on her beautiful face. Mitsuhiko blushed but Genta and Ayumi felt different because when they greet Ai-chan early in the morning she just walks straight to her chair but it is different this time.
Conan entered the room and his eyes grew with amusement with what he sees, it is Ai-chan smiling and helping their classmates to clean the room. The class is now busy in cleaning the room before their class starts. Ai-chan brought some fllowers from the school garden for the room's decoration. She is now changing the flowers at the teacher's table as she is changing the flowers, Conan is standing at the door still amazed at what he sees. Ai-chan lifted her head and their eyes met with one another. She greeted her sweetly and Conan blushed because of her smile. He greeted her back and quickly walks to his chair still blushing.
"Conan-kun, what's wrong" Ayumi curiously asks him.
"Ha? No-nothing Ayumi-chan. Why are you asking?"
"Because your face is all red. Do you have a fever?"
"NO, it's just because of the sun. We have a hot weather today, right Ayumi-chan"
"You're right Conan-kun. The heat really brings some weird things. I think Haibara-san likes today's weather. She's very energetic today which is very unusual. I wish she is like that every day, it makes her more beautiful."
"Beau. . tiful" Conan looks again at Haibara and he was surprised with the sudden smile on her face while looking at him. Conan quickly looks away and is flustered.
Conan's Perspective
"What the hell is going on? She just smiled to me yet I have this feeling. She just smiled Shinichi. It's just a smile. She smiles because she is a person. Wait, she does not smile sarcastically today. It is unusual. Ayumi is right she is beautiful and yes, she is more beautiful when she smiles."
"Kudo, what are you mumbling about during our class? And who is beautiful?"
"Haibara. . ."
"Oh, so I am the "beautiful" that you are talking about" Ai smiles while teasing him.
"It's just something's weird, well as a person it is normal to smile and be cheerful but what's with the sudden change Haibara? So look so happy today. Wait. . could it be that you finished the antidote?" Now, Conan is full of excitement.
"I'm sorry Kudo, I'm not yet done with the antidote." Ai says sarcastically. His smile fades. "Is that so. . .so Haibara tell me why are you so happy?"
"It's just because of a beautiful dream this morning. That kind of dream is rare. Almost every night the Black Organization keeps on chasing me even in my dreams. I'd rather be sleepless working on the antidote so I can face that nightmare."
"Haibara I never know that you are being chased by those guys even in your dreams." It's better to say something nice to cheer her up. "I hope that dream of yours become a reality so you will always wear that beautiful smile instead of your scary smirks."
Hey, I said it right, right? Wait, she is smiling and her face blushes. It's really nice to see her make that kind of face.
"Kudo, do you think some dreams really come true?" She now asks me.
"Of course, if you keep believing that that dream will come true"
"I will be the happiest if that dream will become a reality."
Her words amazed him. Because of her reaction, curiosity is awakened and his detective skills tell him that that dream is really good.
Kobayashi-sensei enters the room and the students go back to their seats. She begins with her lesson. Conan is as usual trying to participate with his elementary lessons over again and the brilliant scientist yawns from her seat.
Today's lesson is about what they wanted to be in the future. The teacher asks her students about their dreams and to tell something about this dream to the class. Only few students were left for the recitation. Ayumi tells the class she wants to be a policewoman like the brave "I will not turn my inventions into explosives and burn my own lab!". After telling this the class burst into laughter. Genta wants to run his own restaurant and the reason behind that is for him to have a lifetime supply of his favorite braised eel on rice. Again, the class burst into laughter.
Kobayashi-sensei tells the students to be quiet and listen to their next classmate, Conan-kun. He stands up and tells the class, "My dream is to become a world-famous detective just like my favorite novel character Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock is the master of deduction, a consulting detective, the only one in the world as he invented the job. He's brilliant, a proper genius, and doesn't he know it!. kobayashi-sensei thanks him for that and the whole class is still quiet for what they heard.
The last student to be called is Haibara. She begins. "As a child I always dreamed of being a scientist but I want to be someone who is truly happy. Sensei I want to live a happy life with my family and friends as a scientist." She smiles to the Detective Boys.
"Haibara-chan that is a very nice dream. Everybody has their own dream and life gives us so many ways to achieve them all you have to do is to believe that someday that dream will come true.
Ai-chan looks outside the window the calm place reminds her of the beautiful dream she had this morning.
The golden glow of the stone as the sun goes down in spring and hits the old buildings bordering the river with its last rays, transforms her regular everyday city into something else for a brief moment that will last an eternity in her memory. She's in the middle of a crowd. The people with faces she cannot recognize walks fast. Everybody just passes by her but nonetheless the scene was breath taking. From the crowd a young man walks toward her. His brown-blonde hair turns into something golden as the rays of the setting sun strikes it. She can see his brown eyes staring into her. The people around them slowly disappears and it is the only two of the them. The sun bade goodbye and the neatly lined up street lights turns on one by one. They stand inches away from each other. She recognizes the face of her childhood friend, it is Saguru Hakuba. He reaches for her hands and now gently holding them, he looks into her eyes saying,
"Everything's gonna be okay. No matter what I will return to your side and I will always be by your side."
Deep in her heart she wishes that it is not a dream and if it is a dream for her not to be awaken from this beautiful dream.
"When are you going to return to my side, Saguru?" She mumbles softly. Conan looks to her side and still in awe of how different she acts today. "Haibara, you should not day-dream during class." Conan whispers to her. She looks to his side and replies, "Hai, hai" and turned her eyes to their teacher discussing their lesson.
That's all for now! Thank you everyone for reading this fanfic. Saguru Hakuba will be here soon! Yehey! More development in the upcoming chapters. As a fan, I really love Shiho that's why I hope she will be smiling morein the series. She went through many things since her childhood and being tracked down by a hideous organization is really terrifying. She deserves to be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy.
