Chapter 3=Christmas Cheer

"So how is Edoka?" Ran asked. I could hear the knowing smirk in her voice. Ran and uncle now knew that I had been Conan but

no one else did. I had decided it was a "only family" thing and Ran and uncle were family. "It was great! Kaito had me go with him to get coffee." I said. Then I heard laughter. The knowing smirk was even bigger now! Oh crap.
Was she hanging out with that girlfriend of hers too much or..."What!?" I cried out. "Oh nothing! Just this is the hundreth"

time you have mentioned this Kaito guy. Are you 2 now dateing?" Ran asked. "Ran-Neesan how often are you and Sonoko on dates?" I asked with a

raised eyebrow. I heard a sputter. Ran hated that nickname now but accepted it ok. It was due to taking me into the bath houses

and not knowing my real age. We chatted for awhile and talked more on the phone,embarrassing one another on and off.

-At The Kuroba Household-
Kaito P.O.V I was watching 2 broke girls on tv and doing homework. As I finished my English essay, I thought of an idea for the next

heist. "That would acually be pretty cool!" I thought as the idea began to form and take shape. In a week it would be Christmas!

This would be so awsome! I began to make mini-gift baskets for the detectives and Task Force members that always show up to my shows. I

smiled as I wrote my holiday heist note.

-On the Heist-

Shinichi P.O.V

I showed up. It was Christmas eve and the magic show went off! Streamers popped out of nowhere as candycanes, chocolate,

holly,and giftbaskets for the detectives and Taskforce members all showered down during the show. I watched as a series of fireworks

in green, red and silver went off due to Kaito's doing went off.

I smiled looking at my gift. He had made it special putting in my favorite candies and coffee along with other stuff. A note read

"MERRY CHRISTMAS MEITANTEI" in it. "He did awsome with yours. Looks like he put more effort into it. Think you're a favorite, Kudo."

Hattori said,smileing. Hattori was now dating Hakuba.

I knowticed Kaito had put mints, candy and some of the toys he gives kids in Hattori's bag. "He's a magician. He loves

cheering people up." I said. Hattori nodded. I sighed remembering that Kaito lived alone and decided to fix that issue. No way was my theif

spending the holiday alone! Not when he always made sure everyone else had a good holiday. Kaito did this every year!

Kaito P.O.V I sighed. No red...No Pandora. I made the jewel reappear back in it's case making several people cheer and then...

heard Nakamouri-keibu leading the Task Force in "We wish Kid a merry Christmas, We wish Kid a merry Christmas, We wish Kid a merry

Christmas...and a happy new year!"

"One too many sakes" I thought and then smiled as I watched the cop that was like a father to me. I knew that he liked

both me and my alias. I had known for awhile that Nakamouri-keibu liked magicians. I wasn't stupid. I was about to head off when

arms wrapped around me. "You're spending Christmas with me. Consider it a reward for me catching you." Shinichi replied smirking.

I chuckled. So that was what he was asking. Well it was better than being alone on the holidays. "Alright. I'll go with you,

Meitantei." I replied. I changed back into myself and followed Shinichi to his car.
