Guest:*laughs* You read my mind. The next chapter has Hakase in it.
Detective Cat: Your wish is about to come true. I hope it doesn't disappoint you though (when Shinichi and Ran meets) and I'm sorry if you have to wait for yet another chapter for it.
roankun: It's alright. I'm actually happy that someone posts reviews and those reviews help me improve my writing better. I hope I don't disappoint you and the rest of the readers as the story goes. :)

If you guys are wondering why I uploaded this chapter earlier than expected. It's because New Year is coming up and I'll be busy next week. I don't want to miss a post so I will upload the chapters I am supposedly going to upload next week, today. Without further ado, the chapter begins!

CHAPTER THREE: HOW TO BE YOU
Shinichi and Shiho exchanged looks when they realized that Agasa must be nearby. They ran to check his room, see if he was awake. They saw earmuffs in his ears as he slept peacefully in his bed. The two sighed in relief and silently closed the door.
They went upstairs to Shiho's room to talk things through.
"24 hours. We wait for 24 hours until the drug wears off." Shiho repeated. Shinichi stared at her- or well his body- speaking like Shiho. It really doesn't suit him.
"Can you pretend to be me for the day?" He said at random.
"Have you lost your mind?"
"I'm just thinking. Even if just for a day, I get to show up to Ran."
"Not when I'm the one in your body." She places both hands on her hips and glared at Shinichi. But seeing her body instead of him really changes everything. She quickly dropped her death glare and sighed. "This isn't gonna work."
"Why not?"
"I can't be you and you can't be me." Just by hearing herself talk in Shinichi's voice, she feels so wrong. Everything about her was wrong.
"We haven't even tried."
"Hearing myself say positive things just doesn't add up."
"And I don't sound like a gloomy person." He scoffed. "Look, it's just for a day. Let's spend our time as teenagers."
"You won't have problems portraying me since I'm not really anyone famous."
Shinichi stood up, took her hand and pulled her head closer to his. He wasn't comfortable being the one looked down on. He noticed how Shiho's body's height was good enough to reach his body's lips for a kiss. But he shook his thoughts.
"You're Shiho Miyano. And you're famous to me." He smiled. But instead Shiho thought that she just saw herself smile in the mirror.
"Alright. Let's get on with this."
"Great!" He hopped excitedly out of the room but Shiho pulls him back with force.
Unusually not used to a manly body with such strength, she unintentionally pulled Shinichi closer to herself. Strong enough for Shinichi to land in her chest. She lost balance after the impact and both fell on the bed.
Shinichi felt powerless against his own body after the pull.
"You should get used to that." He told Shiho who nodded at him.
"I guess I shouldn't go around pulling people."
"Yeah."
"And you should act more like a girl." She sounded like she demanded it.
"I get it. But it won't be easy to pretend I'm a woman." He complained as he pushed himself away from Shiho.
He brushed imaginary dirt out of his body and Shiho glared at him, seeing that he's actually touching her body and not his. Shinichi realized it and stopped.
"How do you expect me to clean myself if I can't do a little touching?" this time he glared and Shiho shook her head. Seeing herself glare was a mystifying thing.
"Don't touch too much! I'm preservative!"
"So am I!"
"Ahh! Shinichi! Ai-kun! Ohayo!" The two were startled and almost jumped in shock. Agasa was awake and who knows what he'd heard.
"G- Good morning Hakase!" greeted Shinichi cheerfully. Shiho stood up and gently nudges him by the elbow. Shinichi immediately blocked the nudge and stared at Shiho, seeing her eyes that says; Stop being so obvious. It was his eyes. Not Shiho's. But Shiho is inside his body so it also makes it her eyes. Shinichi just shook the thought. It was confusing in so many ways.
"Good morning Hakase." she greeted.
"You two look like you're up to something. Did the antidote work?" He asked as now he saw them in their teenage forms.
"It worked alright." said Shinichi with a smile. Shiho rolled her eyes at him. What part of 'don't be obvious' did he not understand?
"But we're not sure how long the effects may last. We'll see in twenty four hours." She said and this time, it was Shinichi's turn to look at her.
Agasa saw the two kept on exchanging glances and glares. He didn't know what was up, but there was definitely something odd about them that morning.
"Well, while you two are here, I'll be taking my leave. I need to make up for lost time with the Detective Boys." Agasa said, not wanting to interfere with what the two teenagers seem to be fighting about. "Oh and Shinichi,"
"Yes?" The two said in unison. And immediately Shinichi slapped his palm in his mouth. He obviously forgot about his situation... that quickly.
"Ran called last night, she wanted to know how Conan was doing. You might want to do something about it."
"I will, Hakase." replied Shiho. Shinichi kept his hand in his mouth, not wanting to say anything out of the ordinary.
"And Ai-kun, now that you're a teenager. Should I call you Shiho now?"
Shinichi was waiting for Shiho to reply, his hand still in his mouth. But the fact that Shiho wasn't talking and is instead looking at him, he quickly pulled his hand away and tried to act as cold as possible.
"No. I prefer Miyano-san." He said and internally Shiho slapped herself for seeing Shinichi's terrible representation of her.
"Hakase, I'm sure Miyano-san is just not feeling well. But she meant that it's okay to call her by her first name." Her head turned to Shinichi, telling him to comply because he was in her body.
"Y- Yeah." Shinichi managed to say.
"Alright." Agasa said, not wanting to say more. Surely the two acted really strange. He thought it was the effect of the drug on them and so he left.
The two watched him exit the house before they start another argument.
"Can you portray me any better?" Shiho complained, her hands on her hips.
"I don't know how you act towards the others since you don't really socialize." He defended. "I'm sure you saw how I am towards others."
"As Conan. Not as Kudo." She corrected.
"You know what, for our own safety. We should stay here until the drug wears off." He finally decided and sat back on the bed with his hands buried in both palms.
"I agree." Shiho said. Finally, the two agreed in something.
But it didn't take long before they heard a loud sound echoing inside the house. They turned to each other with a big OH NO expression in their faces. Someone just rang the doorbell. And outside was a girl calling out Conan's name.
Ran.

I just realized that this chapter is short. I apologize for that. Don't worry, next chapter won't be short. It'll be looooong!
See you guys in the next chapter!
