Hey, welcome to Friends: Book 1. Together, Amanga and Em Phantom (ourselves, of course) have spent countless lunch times, hours on the phone, etc. writing this story. It all started with a simple idea: How would two crazy teens such as us fare in the world of Detective Conan? That thought blossomed into a full fledged story, filled with odd lines, crazy reactions, and unbelievable lies.

Em Phantom: My character is Emily Haire, and yes, the character is based off me. And yes, I purposely say all those crazy lines. It's my personality, so I had to make sure that my character would act the same way. Oh, and you don't really need to know anything about Sailor Moon or CardCaptor Sakura to understand this. I didn't know either when we started this.

Amanga: I have cast myself as Amanda Terkous, the other main character. I'm the Sailor Moon and CardCaptor Sakura expert.

Disclaimer: We do not own Sailor Moon, CardCaptor Sakura, Magic Kaito, or Detective Conan, but we do own ourselves and our original characters.

Chapter Two:

Silver Crystal Heist

By the time the three called the people they were staying with and Dr. Agasa had driven them there, it was nearly six-thirty when they reached the gated Crystal Mansion.

They all got to a fancy black gate with two guards in police uniform. The two men stepped aside when the gate opened and a man with long, white hair wearing a white suit stepped out. The group approached the three men, who were talking.

"Um, excuse me, may we go inside?" asked Amanda. The man in white turned to face her, and her eyes bugged out. "Artemis?!" Said man narrowed his piercing blue eyes at her.

"It's alright Artemis. She says Puu-chan told her," said Chibiusa as she came forward. Artemis looked at her, Amanda then the group and back again. Finally, he nodded.

"Very well, Small Lady-sama. Come in, all of you." Amanda and Chibiusa followed with ease, Emily followed with her eyes darting around (probably looking for Kaitou Kid), and the others followed cautiously.

They passed a small shrine where a dark-haired woman in priestess garb was sweeping.

"Don't you have maids to do that?" whispered Dr. Agasa to Chibiusa. The woman's violet eyes snapped up angrily and glared at him.

"I do my own sweeping!" she hollered. Everyone except Artemis, Amanda, and Chibiusa took a step back.

"Jeez, Rei-chan. You shouldn't be so mean to guests," Chibiusa scolded. Rei looked to the girl and nodded respectfully. She turned away and mumbled "sorry". The group moved on and finally came to the main mansion's front door. The building was large and looked like it was made of a cloudy crystal. Artemis opened the double doors and held one open for them as the group shuffled in.

"What time is it?" asked Emily, causing Amanda to check her watch (and take a very long look at it).

"It's, ah, almost six-forty," she said. "We should eat dinner while we wait."

"Mako-chan should have dinner on the table soon," added Chibiusa.

"Can we help?" asked Emily, always the helper. Chibiusa just shrugged. When they got into the dinning room, they saw that everything was already set up, and there were even a few people seated: a woman with aqua-colored hair, a man with sandy colored hair and a woman with long golden blond hair in Chibiusa's hairstyle. More people were still entering, too. Rei came in with two others; a woman with long, green-black hair and olive skin and a girl with shoulder length black hair. Without turning to the pink-haired child or the group, everyone but Rei said "Welcome home, Small Lady-sama/Chibiusa-chan."

All the people in the room except for Artemis, Amanda, and Chibiusa blinked and stared. Chibiusa said hello back to everyone and went to take her seat near the blond woman, Artemis grumbled about not being greeted, and Amanda said hello to everyone individually. After that, while the others were still gawping, Amanda went up to the blond woman.

"Ano… excuse me, Neo Queen, but where do we sit?" she asked politely. The woman turned to smile at her.

"We prepared places for you, on very short notice," Neo Queen told the now-embarrassed brunette. As they moved to their seats, more people came in. A tall, dark haired man, a woman with long and curly-ish black hair, a petite girl with grayish hair and another woman with her brown hair in a high ponytail. Each carried trays or plates of food. Another petite woman with short blue hair and blue eyes followed them in. When the food was set down and everyone was seated, they said 'let's eat' and dug in.

After everyone finished eating and paying compliments to the brunette chef, they all went their separate ways. The chef, introduced to them as Makoto Kino, Rei, the dark haired woman and the grey haired girl all cleaned up. The dark haired man, the two women with blue hair, the blond man and the two dark haired females disappeared. Artemis left, saying he was going to check security, and Chibiusa showed the rest around. They saw the dining room, the front yard and front room, of course. She showed them the art room the art room with paintings of paintings of water and people; the music room, passed by the kitchen, and a few bedrooms. Conan, curious about a few paintings, wandered away from the group to the art room. Both Amanda and Emily followed him.

In the art room, many of the paintings were similar. One in particular caught the young detective's eye. It was large and well painted. A large wave of water rising up, a dark sky and a place in ruins down below. Conan looked to see the title and artist. The painting was unnamed, but the painter was clear. Michiru Kaiou.

"I heard she never named her 'doom' period." Amanda told him as she leaned down.

"You know this person, nee-chan?" asked Conan, feigning innocence.

"Yes, in fact. You met her at dinner. The woman with shoulder-length aqua colored hair."

"Maybe we should get back because it's ten to eight." The three headed out the door with Amanda lagging behind. She was looking at another painting, one of a strange cup-like item. It was gold and red, painted on an empty background. As Amanda turned away, she whispered to herself,

"'Holy Grail/Purity Chalice'. Painted by Michiru Kaiou/ Michelle Kaioh."

A while later, everyone gathered in the control room. The short haired bluenette, the dark haired man and Artemis sat at the panel of buttons and levers. Everyone watched the screen. Emily was excitedly shaking as she stared.

"Emily, what type of sugar did you have for breakfast?" asked Amanda. Emily turned and attempted to glare at her friend, but it was fruitless.

"I didn't have breakfast, thank you!" Amanda sweatdropped. Emily paused thoughtfully. "I think I'm hyper."

"No, really? What gave you that impression?" asked Amanda sarcastically.

"Is she always like this?" asked Chibiusa to Conan and Amanda, who answered at the same time.

"I don't know; I only just met her."

"Sometimes."

With a suspicious glint in her red-brown eyes, Chibiusa turned back to the screen. At exactly eight, no one noticed three people slip away from the group. A few seconds later, a person in white crept into the room where the crystal was. Just as Kaitou KID reached for the precious stone, a blur of blue, green and white crashed into him, and violently shoved him against the wall.

"That's got to be humiliating for him," commented Amanda. Once the 'blur' stopped him from struggling, they moved him away from the wall. The people in the control room filed out to meet them.

They were greeted by the tall, Amazon-looking chef who was holding his left wrist, a sandy blond woman Ai, Emily, Dr. Agasa, and Conan thought they never met before who held his other wrist and the aqua haired Michiru behind him. They all wore sailor fukus. Neo Queen stepped forward to stand directly in front of the intruder.

"Those guards were simply for show. We knew you would disguise yourself as one. Since we used unfair means to catch you, we will not turn you over to the police."At the woman's words, the people who were unfamiliar with her stared. "However, I would like a word with you, and no pranks young man." She signaled for the two holding his wrists to let go. KID's poker face returned. He crouched, but the blond who had let go of him nudged his hand with her foot and spoke.

"She said no pranks. Stand," her voice was strong and firm such as one who was used to giving commamds and having them obeyed. Kaitou stood, then stepped forward and kissed Neo Queen's hand.

"As you can see, I only wear my wedding ring," she told him. He smirked.

"If he does not behave, Neo Queen, may I show him my aquarium?" asked the woman behind him. The queen shot her a secretive smile.

"Certainly, Neptune," came the sweet reply. The two women exchanged mysterious smirks.

"Kaitou KID!" cried Emily, unable to keep silent any longer, "I am a huge fan! How can you get caught?!" She rushed at him before even Amanda could stop her. The teen collided with him, making both fall to the floor and their eyes go all swirly.

"That is soo Emily," stated Amanda, shaking her head. "Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, could you help me move them?"

The three around the two unconscious teens complied as she went to help. They put the two in the 'infirmary'. Amanda, ever cautious of her friend and her friend's obsession, made an order to everyone that KID was not to be unmasked. Of course, there were protests.

"Why? We finally get the chance to turn him over to the police." This was Conan, of course. Dr. Agasa and Ai had the same question.

"Because it's not a fair fight," was the girl's answer. The others reluctantly relented to her brilliant reasoning.

Thirty minutes later found a napping Amanda and a konked out KID and Emily alone in the infirmary. That is, it was just the three of them.

With a barely audible groan, Emily groggily blinked her eyes, bringing a hand to her head as she moaned, "What hit me?"

"I think the question is what hit me," said KID, sitting up to glare at the girl. He was secretly thankful that he still donned his trademark hat and monocle.

Emily blinked dazedly before smiling guiltily as the memory hit her. (A/N: LOL Hit her. Get it? No? Oh well…) "Sorry about that," she said, blushing in embarrassment as she reflected on her earlier actions. "Really, I didn't mean for us both to be knocked out."

"You must be crazy," KID said finally. She cocked her head to the side in confusion, and he elaborated. "First you act all obsessed with me and now you act like I'm your friend."

"I am not crazy," she snapped, rising to a sitting position. (A/N: Delayed reaction. LOL) "I am perfectly sane."

"I'm sure you are, in that crazy head of yours," shot back KID.

"I'll have you know that I am an honors student, and perfectly capable of judging my own mental health," Emily retorted angrily.

"You are crazy," KID repeated. Emily scowled.

"If I were crazy, I would have unmasked you by now," Emily said.

"Like I said, you are crazy," KID said. "I mean, I know there are hidden cameras in here," at this, Emily looked around in surprise, "but surely you would jump at the chance of seeing who's really behind the monocle."

A loud snore was heard from the corner and Emily jumped slightly, turning to see her friend dozing on a chair. "Amanda probably made sure no one learned your identity," Emily said knowingly. "Knowing Conan-kun, he would have jumped at the chance to see who you are."

"And you wouldn't?" KID questioned, raising an eyebrow in inquiry.

"I have no need to," Emily said simply. "Why would I check if I already knew your identity, Kuroba-kun?" Her eyes went wide and she clapped her hands to her mouth, muttering, "I did NOT just reveal that I know KID's identity," in English.

He remained calm, most likely due to his poker face. "So you know who I am," he stated, though Emily had trouble telling whether or not he was angry. "And I'm guessing your friend knows as well, ne?"

"Hai," Emily whispered, silent tears falling down her face.

"And yet neither of you want to hand me over to the police," he said. It wasn't a question. "Are you sure you're not crazy?" Emily ran a hand through her hair at his question, unsure of how to answer.

"I always dreamed about meeting you," she said finally, speaking in English. "I just never imagined it would be possible."

"Not possible?" KID questioned, turning to English as well. Emily's cheeks turned crimson as she remembered the thief was familiar with her native language.

A sudden groan from an awaking Amanda distracted the two. The brown haired girl yawned and groped around for her glasses. When she found them and put them on gently, she blinked sleepily at the other two and said, "I hope you don't mind if a guest comes in." KID and Emily tensed as a knock at the door sounded. "Come in," called Amanda as the other two glared at her.

The dark haired man from before opened the door and came in. Then he shut it behind him. He walked slowly and confidently over to them. Each step he took made Emily fidget with nervousness and Kaitou look for an escape route. Only Amanda appeared to have an idea of what was going on. When he stopped, she stood and bowed. The man nodded slowly to her.

"Emily, Kaitou KID; may I introduce Mamoru Chiba-sensei," Amanda introduced them. She obviously had a lot of respect for this doctor.

"I see that you are very much like your father," stated the man as he looked over KID's costume. "You know, I have been called, more than once, Black Kaitou KID." Kaitou stared as Emily whispered to Amanda.

"Is he Sailor Moon's husband? The what's-his-name?"

"Hai, that is Tuxedo Kamen-sama," came the reply. To KID, she said, "Mamoru-sensei is not a magician like you. He works real magic. He is also a former gentleman thief."

"Arigatou gozimastu. I will explain to you how I know the original Kaitou KID," he told them.

"When I was just beginning in thievery, I heard of a strange gem in Japan. I forgot what it was called, but I heard it on the news with the fact that Kaitou KID was going to steal it. I hurried to the place where it was held and found a man in white, barely older than I, holding the very gem up to the full moon. As Tuxedo Kamen, I asked him, who I knew as KID, what he was doing. He told me, 'I am searching for the legendary Pandora which grants immortality.' He then asked me who I was and what I was doing there. I told him my false name and my quest for a crystal.

"There was a bush of red roses nearby and, like he, they glowed in the moonlight. For some reason that I didn't know then, I knew he was a famous magician. We never met again."

"Then how…?" asked Emily. A white cat, with blue eyes and a gold crescent on its forehead, jumped down form his neck. The others were startled because they hadn't noticed it.

"I told him," it said. Emily and Kaitou both stared. The cat sighed. "The life of a Mauian."

"Artemis, did you and V-san run into people in black, by any chance?" Amanda asked him, almost already knowing the answer.

"Hold it, Amanda! That's Artemis? And who's V-san?" asked a perplexed Emily.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you the details," replied Amanda. "Artemis is from the planet Mau. He and his people can be either talking cats or humanoids. I refer to her as 'V-san', but that's only Sailor Venus's codename." Artemis cleared his throat bringing the others' attention back to him.

"Yes, we did. They overhead us talking about a crystal with immense power, so we had to think fast. The only other legendary powered crystal I remembered was the red Pandora. I hadn't been awake for very long and hadn't recovered all of my memories yet, but I remembered the old Queen Serenity, may she rest in peace, telling Luna and I about it." Amanda, Mamoru and Artemis looked thoughtful; Emily looked only half-puzzled and Kaitou KID looked completely confused.

"Huh?" asked Emily, not quite following what was going on or being said.

"What's the problem now?" an annoyed Amanda asked.

"I haven't gotten that far in the ser-" Amanda clapped her hands over her friend's mouth, her eyes wide in panic. Emily looked confused, until realization suddenly dawned on her and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Kaitou's eyes narrowed slightly and Mamoru's face was passive.

"Ser-what?" asked an inquisitive Artemis.

Emily yanked her friend's hands from her mouth, taking a nervous breath before saying, "The American comic series based on Sailor Moon.""

"It's Japanese," corrected Amanda. Emily gave her a look.

"Whatever, I read it in America!" retorted Emily, throwing her hands in the air.

"There's a comic series?" asked Mamoru.

"There probably isn't a comic in this world!" hissed Amanda.

"This world?" asked KID. Mamoru sighed.

"Whoever told you real magic doesn't exist is wrong." He turned to the girls. "World travelers, huh?" Both girls became uncomfortable under his stare.

"Uh, it's something like that," mumbled Amanda uneasily. Emily expected Mamoru to demand answers of them, but instead he got a kind look in his eyes.

"You don't need to tell us anything," he told them as he and Artemis began to walk out. "You may explore wherever you please, but don't take anything. The last comment was directed at Kaitou and both girls had to stifle a laugh.
