Shinichi took Conan off his shoulder by his collar and set him beside Dai, "Happy?" Shinichi asked tossing Conan his power sneakers, "Don't need you whining of boredom when we're not actually practicing…"

Dai brightened, but then held his stomach when it growled. Shinichi sighed and went back into the house while Conan put his shoes on. Conan and Dai looked at each other, but couldn't say anything because Shinichi came back out. Shinichi gave Dai and Conan the plate of cheese and crackers, "That's it," he stated, "I'm not going in that house again. Let's go."

Dai and Conan held the plate and followed behind Shinichi, but far enough away where they could talk, "You're Shinichi aren't you?" Dai asked, "Of your Universe I mean."

Conan nodded, "And you're Kuroba," he stated before grabbing a cracker and biting into it.

Dai nodded and glanced in front of him every so often, "Why do I hate you so much in this Universe?" Conan asked.

Dai sighed, "Up until I became Takayama Dai I had no idea," he stated, "But then Yusaku forced us to share a room and I figured it out while he was on the phone with Hattori," Conan raised an eyebrow, "He thinks I stole his-your-his dad from him," Conan blinked, "When I moved in with mom, I took interest in your dad's mystery writing and picked up a few things…okay a lot of things."

"Hmm…" Conan said, "So one little thing changes and a person entire personality changes."

Dai hummed in question because he had a cracker in his mouth, "You and your mother never came to live with my family in my Universe," Conan stated, "Your father gave you ample money to live off of. Actually, in my Universe, you took up your father's plate," Dai's eyes widened and Conan nodded.

Dai swallowed, "I became KID?" he asked.

Conan nodded, "But not in the way you're thinking," he stated, "Trust me, I was the same way when I found out. The Kaito of my Universe is actually-in a way-protecting innocents," Dai tilted his head slightly and narrowed his eyes, "I'm not sure if this is the same for your Universe, but the reason Toichi-san was murdered was because he kept getting in the Organization's way of finding the gem they wanted."

"Pandora," Dai nodded, "It's the same."

Conan nodded, "Well, Kaito is bringing himself to target of the Organization so that they don't have reason to kill the owners of the jewels or anyone who stands in their way," he stated, "It's also to bring your father's murder vengeance."

Dai nodded and stacked some cheese on a cracker, "So…bad, but not for a bad reason," Dai stated.

"Right," Conan nodded, "So…Hattori, Hakuba, and I are in a band in this Universe?"

Dai nodded before swallowing, "Yes," he said, "Let me guess…you four are detectives in yours?"

"Four?" Conan asked.

"Mitsuhiko?" Dai asked.

"Uh…Mitsuhiko is seven in my Universe," Conan said, "He, Ayumi, and Genta are friends with Conan."

"Odd…" Dai said, "They're highschoolers here. They've been with Shinichi since middle school."

"Ran…" Dai looked at Conan, "What's Ran's relationship with me here?"

"Mouri Ran?" Conan nodded, "You hate each other's guts," Conan winced, "Let me guess…you guys love each other in yours," Conan blushed.

"Ah…we're childhood friends," Conan sighed, "I've liked her ever since we were little. I never thought she could like me the same way, but then I became Edogawa Conan…" Dai hummed and nodded.

"Let me guess," Dai stated, "The girl who picked me up is your Kaito's childhood friend."

Conan nodded, "Nakamori Aoko," he said.

Dai choked on a cracker, "Oi, don't kill yourself!" Shinichi yelled without looking back.

"Nakamori-chan?" Dai asked once he stopped coughing.

"Yeah," Conan said then sighed, "Let me guess…Ran hates me, Kazuha hates Hattori, and Nakamori-chan hates you."

"Yeah," Dai stated, "Nakamori-chan's a flirt though."

Conan snorted, "What?" Dai asked.

"In my Universe, you like to flip Nakamori-chan's skirt," Dai blushed brightly, "Which ends up with Nakamori-chan chasing you around with a mop that she keeps in her pocket. She's skilled in boujutsu, Ran in karate, and Kazuha in aikido."

"Really?" Dai asked, "Do they use it openly?"

"Of course," Conan said before his eyes darkened, "Don't they here?"

Dai sweat dropped, "Ah…well, Mouri-san does when you tick her off enough," he said, "You usually end up in the hospital for a few days."

Conan glared at the back of his parallel's head, "Is Ran's father famous here?" he asked.

"Hmm? Yeah, a very famous detective," Dai said, "When I was my normal self Yusaku and I worked with Kogorou-san on a lot of cases."

"And how many times has this Universe's Ran been kidnapped?" Dai gulped at Conan's dangerous voice.

"Err…I feel safer not answering that…" Dai said sweat dropping.

Conan glared at Shinichi again. This time Shinichi turned around, "Alright, who's glaring?" he asked.

Dai sweat dropped and Conan had wiped his glare off his face. Shinichi sighed before turning into a driveway, "Let's go!" he yelled.

"More questions later," Dai whispered.

"Oh believe me," Conan hissed, "Hattori, Kuroba, and I will be asking you ample questions…" Dai was actually starting to fear for his life.

Shinichi walked into the house without knocking, "Oi!" Shinichi called, "Heiji! Saguru! Mitsuhiko!" he took off his shoes, "Ayumi! Genta! Are you slackers here!?" Conan and Dai sweat dropped.

"Who are you calling slackers?" Conan about lost his jaw.

Hattori Heiji was paler in this Universe! He was almost Conan's color…and he didn't have his Osaka accent! Shinichi rolled his eyes, "Not you…Ayumi and Genta, our "managers"" he made air quotes around the word.

"Oh," Heiji stated and opened his soda, "They're upstairs. Whether they're making out or actually doing their job, I don't know."

Conan had a slight disgusted look on his face because all he could picture was the seven-year-old Ayumi and Genta making out. Conan shivered, "You okay?" Dai asked.

"Fine…just weird mental image," Conan stated, "My Ayumi and Genta are seven-years-old, remember."

"Oh…" Dai snorted, "Sorry, but that would actually be very funny to see."

"Oi, who's the new kid?" Conan and Dai looked up and saw Heiji looking down at them.

"Don't know," Shinichi stated, "Was just a brat with Mouri. Dai wanted a playmate so I brought him. What is your name, kid?"

"Edogawa Conan," Conan said.

"Ugh," Heiji said, "Let me guess, your parents are mystery nerds like Kuroba."

Dai sweat dropped along with Conan. Conan laughed nervously, "My dad really liked Conan Doyle," he said.

"Figures," Shinichi said, "What's with those Sherlock Holmes books anyway…" Conan and Dai sweat dropped two times, "Come on, Heiji," he climbed the stairs, "Where's Saguru and Mitsuhiko?"

Heiji followed closely behind Shinichi, "Don't know, but this is Mitsuhiko's house so he's got to be here somewhere," he stated, "And you know Saguru is always late to everything except concerts and that's because we set his clocks and watches back an hour before we need him to be there."

"Whatever," Shinichi said, "I sooo don't want to be at my house right now?"

"Because of Mouri?" Heiji asked, "Did her dad go off on another case again," Conan blinked as he and Dai followed them, "Or did her mom lock herself in her lab again?" Conan did a double take; Eri…in a lab…in the same house with Kogorou?!

"How the heck should I know?!" Shinichi yelled, "But no, I can handle Mouri…the Thief is back," Dai winced.

"Seems nicknames last even in Parallel Universes," Conan snickered quietly.

"Ah…" Heiji said, "So you staying with me or Saguru?" they reached the top of the stairs, "And are these brats staying too? If so…can't stay at my house."

Shinichi snorted, "I think Mouri would kill me if I don't return her brat to her," he stated and opened a door, "Besides…we always have to wind up staying with Saguru-Ayumi! Genta!" the teens broke away, "This is not…know what…never mind…" Ayumi and Genta blushed brightly, "Where's Mitsuhiko and Saguru?"

Conan covered his eyes, "I'm never going to get that picture out of my head," he said, "And it's not just because of my photographic memory…"

Dai patted Conan on the back, "M-Mitsuhiko-kun is in his study," Ayumi stuttered, "And Saguru-kun said he's about five minutes away."

"Stupid country boy…" Shinichi said, "If he walks in on you two, tell him we're in the garage. We have to get practice done before Mitsuhiko's parents get home at eight."

"H-hai!" Ayumi squeaked.

Shinichi rolled his eyes before walking away, "At least try and do your job as managers, would ya?" Heiji said, "Oi, let's go brats," he stated walking away.

Conan and Dai followed, but they caught Ayumi and Genta blushing brightly, "I officially can't look at my Ayumi and Genta the same way again…" Conan whispered.

Dai snickered, "Shut up," Conan hissed.

Shinichi opened a door, "Oi! Mitsuhiko!" an older version of Mitsuhiko turned from his textbook and smiled.

"Hey guys," Mitsuhiko stood up, "Saguru-kun not here yet?"

"Nope," Heiji stated, "Ayumi said five minutes-give or take knowing Saguru."

Mitsuhiko sighed, "And we have less time today," he said, "My mom called and said she was about halfway done with her work and would be home by seven."

"Great," Shinichi groaned, "Just flipping great."

"Sorry," Mitsuhiko said.

"Not your fault," Heiji said, "Once Saguru gets here why don't we just put the finishing touches on that song you wrote, Shinichi?"

"Sounds good," Shinichi said, "I was hoping to stay away from the Thief and Mouri a little longer than seven."

"Kuroba-kun's back?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Yeah," Shinichi spat, "I don't want to talk about it."

Dai looked down. Conan noticed and stopped him, "What's wrong?" he asked as Shinichi, Heiji, and Mitsuhiko kept walking.

"It's…it's just…" Dai smiled nervously and somewhat sadly, "I…kinda see Shinichi-you-as a big brother," Conan went wide eyed, "I always looked up to you; that's why I took interest in mysteries because at the time you were interested."

Conan hummed, "Have you told him this?" he asked.

"What?" Dai asked shocked, "No, how can I?"

"You don't have a voice changer?" Conan asked then pulled his bowtie out and flipped it, "This changes my voice to anyone's I want. It's how I continue to solve crimes as a child. It's also how I keep Ran happy," he smiled sadly, "Well…as happy as she can be when she thinks I'm off on a dangerous case and I'm right by her side."

"Eri-san made Yusaku something like that," Dai said, "But I hardly ever use it because I'm usually with Yusaku. I hardly know how to work it," he stated, "It's not as simple as this."

Conan smiled slightly, "Once he's figured out about this whole situation with us, you can borrow this," Dai blinked in shock, "Just try."

"But…he hates me," Dai said.

Conan smiled slightly, "We may be from different Universes, but personalities have to remain somewhat in tacked," he said, "And I could never hate anyone completely; not even a criminal."

Dai nodded and smiled slightly, "Who made you this? Eri-san?" he asked as they began walking again.

Conan laughed, "No, Kisaki-san is a lawyer in my Universe," he said, "And is still married to Kogorou-san, but lives separately from him. He's a drunk old man who can't solve a case without it being personal or hitting his head rather hard. Professor Agasa made this for me."

Dai burst out laughing, "Agasa!? He's a science teacher who barely knows his subject!" Conan laughed too and the two entered the garage.

"Where the heck are you?!" Shinichi yelled over his cell phone, "Get your butt down here Saguru!"
