Me: Hello everyone! So I'm really excited about this story that's why I posted it around midnight last night. And everything I thought last night was about this story. I also want to point out that the whole story isn't going to be in Kudo's P.O.V. So! Please enjoy the new chapter of 'The Trick'! I don't own Case Closed sadly. Enjoy!

Kudo/Conan's P.O.V (The same day)

"What do you guys think of Chika," Mitch asked. School is over and we are walking back home. We asked if Chika wanted to walk with us but she declined saying she had some stuff to do.

"I like her," Amy said happily. "She's so nice and pretty. She even said she will join the Junior Detective League!"

"I like her too," George said.

"Me too!" Mitch said. "What do you think Conan?"

"She's cool," I said. Something strikes me as odd though. I can't put my finger on it. The three kids disappeared towards their homes. I continued to my house alone trying to think what's so weird about Chika. She did kind of smell weird if I remember correctly. I'm probably over thinking this. She's just an ordinary girl who just moved to a new school. I walk into the Moore Detective Agency building into the office.

"Hey Conan," Rachel said putting my usual juice down on the table. She already changed out of her school uniform into a pink tee-shirt under a red vest and red shorts. I always liked her in red. It's my favorite color on her, no doubt it's also her favorite color. I would think she would wear it tomorrow being her birthday.

"Hey Rach," I said "you look like you're going somewhere." Her purse is sitting on the couch and she has some hints of make up on her.

"Not yet. Jimmy promised he would call today so I have to talk to him." Right I promised to call around four. It's about three thirty so I have enough time to go to the phone.

"Okay, I have to head out after I have my juice. I promised Doctor Agasa I would go visit him." Rachel nodded before looking back at the clock like she usually would whenever I promise I would call. Richard is nowhere to be seen so he's probably asleep in the bath again. I wonder where Rachel is going. She wouldn't dress like that for anything. Hopefully she won't do the same thing as my birthday trying to force me to watch some corny movie ending up in bombs. Of course I would have a little surprise for her like always.

I drank the rest of my juice before saying goodbye to Rachel leaving the office. It's about five minutes before I actually have to call. I reached the phone booth as I felt eyes on me. I quickly looked around not seeing anyone. A creepy feeling flowed through me. I shock it off dialing Rachel's number and getting my bowtie ready for action. It rang three times before she picked up.

"Hello, Moore Detective Agency." Her voice calmly said with little hints of hopefulness in it.

"Hey Rach," I said in my missed beautiful voice "it's Jimmy."

"Hey Jimmy! At least you know how to call on time."

"Thanks a lot. And I even finished a case early just to call you because I knew you would be mad if I was late." She laughed.

"I'm just kidding. You need to lighten up more." She paused. Her vocal tone changed into something I fear the most. Sneaky. "So, guess what tomorrow is."

"Let's see…." I pretended "tomorrow is June 20th. And that was the case of 'The Greek Interpreter' in the Sherlock Holmes series. Is it something related to that?"

"NO! I can't believe you forgot! You geek!" She yelled. I laughed.

"I'm kidding Rach. Don't kill me for pulling a fast one on ya. How could I forget my best friend's birthday?"

"Are you trying to get punched?" Guess I went a little too far.

"Sorry, just trying to lighten up the mood. How are you going to celebrate?" Please just don't force anything on me this time.

"Actually you are bringing me on a date." Spoke too soon.

"Rach, I would love to but you know I am hyped up on cases right now."

"Oh," Rachel said angrily. "So I suppose you can't hold your cases for one night to spend time with me."

"That's not what I meant. I'm not even near the city right now. It will be a while before I can actually arrive."

"Come on Jimmy I didn't even see you on your birthday! I still need to give you your present. It's just sitting in my room collecting dust."

"Let's not forget on my birthday you had to defuse a bomb." I reminded her. I could seriously use a miracle right now. "I told you before to drop the present off at my house."

"And I told you I wanted to see your face when you get it."

"Look I've gotta run but I'll call you later."

"No you don't Jimmy Kudo!" She yelled extremely furious and threatening. "If you don't show up at my place in one hour than you can say goodbye to the Sherlock Holmes collection you have at your house." She hung up.

"Rachel!" I put the bowtie down to its original position. "Great now I have to pull off a miracle. How can I get out of this one and save my books?" I put the phone back on its holder before walking off towards my place. A dozen scenarios played throughout my head. Not one ends up with a happy ending. This is one thing I can't do. I guess I'll have to buy new collectables. I walked back into the office seeing Rachel give someone a nice cup of hot chocolate.

"Oh hey Conan," Rachel happily said. "You didn't tell me that you have a new student in your class or that she's a cutie." I walked to the couch seeing familiar short black hair and the black dress.

"Hi Conan," Chika said cheerfully "sorry about dropping in like this. Amy told me where you lived and I just had to meet Richard Moore."

"No it's okay," I said still a little startled. I turned to Rachel. "How was your conversation with Jimmy?"

"Well let's just say that if he doesn't show up in the next forty five minutes I'll be heading over to his place. If he is in the city or not." She said determined.

"Who is Jimmy?" Chika asked.

"Let me get a picture of him." Rachel left. I sat on the same couch as Chika. The smell hit me again. With a girl who dresses nice she seems to smell bad. I can't put my finger on what exactly the smell is. Rachel came back with the picture of my old self and gave it to Chika. She stared at my photo for a moment looking like she's analyzing it.

"Is he your boyfriend? What's with his spiky hair?" She blurted.

"B-boyfriend?" Rachel asked shocked.

"The hair is natural." I blurted a little harshly before I covered my mouth. Rachel and Chika looked at me surprised. "Rachel told me before that his hair is always spiky. She remembered because it looks a little like mine." It was a second of silence before Chika broke out laughing.

"You're funny," She said. I sighed in relief. Thank goodness, I have to be careful with what I say. Rachel started laughing too. "Hey Conan, you don't look too good. Do you want some of my hot chocolate?" I looked at her innocent smile. I smiled back.

"Sure thanks," I took a good sip of her hot chocolate before putting it back onto the table. Chika looked at the clock. Her expression turned shocked. So did mine. It's only a half an hour before I have to show up as Jimmy.

"I have to go back home or my mom is going to be really worried. Thank you Rachel for the hot chocolate. I'll see you at school Conan. And have fun tonight." Have fun tonight? What could she mean? She winked at me before running out of the office. I grabbed my skateboard.

"She's such a sweet kid." Rachel said lovingly.

"And a weird one." She slapped the back of my head.

"Don't say that Conan."

"Sorry but I'm going to head over to Agasa's again. I forgot something. Tell Jimmy I say hi." I ran out of the office waving goodbye before she could say anything. I put my skateboard down stepping on the button making me go superfast.

Half way through the ride I started to feel weird. Great now I'm sick. As I buzzed past people I look around always keeping an eye out for the men in black. I'm always paranoid that I pass by them without realizing it. Going down into the suburbs I give up on searching doubting that they will actually be here. I turn to Agasa's house and ring the doorbell. That's weird. I am taller than the doorbell. Agasa opened the door. His eyes widened.

"Jimmy?!" Agasa yelled.

"Hey Doc," I said. "Tell me have I grown taller?"

"Jimmy, you're Jimmy."

"What are you talking about?" He ran to his bathroom and ran back holding a pocket mirror. I screamed.

"No way! I'm back to myself! That's amazing! How did this happen?"

"What is the last thing you had to eat or drink?" My mind wandered back to this afternoon. Conan, you don't look so good. Want some of my hot chocolate? Have fun tonight.

"Chika…" I muttered. "I had some hot chocolate. I was with her the whole entire time. I didn't see her put anything in the drink so I don't know how she slipped anything in it. Plus I didn't feel anything like before with Hattori. There was no pain."

"Something must have happened." Agasa said then drifted into thought.

"What time is it?" I blurted.

"It's ten to five. Why?" I tossed him my skateboard and ran over to my house. "Jimmy! What's going on?"

I'm going on a date.

Me: Hey everyone hope you liked this chapter. Don't worry I am leading up to something but I really wanted to write a date with them so why not write it in the second chapter? Plus it will lead up to something I have plans for and I wanted this chapter to do that for me. I hope you like this chapter as much as I liked writing it. Who exactly is Chika? How did Kudo turn back to himself? Find out soon. And please NO FLAMES OR I FLAME YOU! I love you guys so much!
