I'll Always be There for You
I don't own DC yadda yadda yadda. So sue me. :P
Defying the Laws of Physics
Conan and Harley were both having hangovers. Harley also had band-aids all over his body after being beaten up by Kazuha.
"You know this is your fault, right?" Harley glared at Conan, who somehow was looking sick.
"No." Conan looked smug, but then he cringed at the hangover he was having.
"You still have the nerve to joke around?" Harley would've strangled the ghost—spirit—but he couldn't hurt him.
"Urg…" Conan and Harley both covered their mouths. "Wait, can spirits throw up?"

"Hey Rachel!" Rachel felt something grab at her waist. She looked to see Conan hugging her, with a child-like smile on his face. "Hello!"
"J-Jimmy!" Rachel would've yelled at him, but the look on his face was too sweet to ignore. She instantly hugged him back instead. Harley and Kazuha sweat-dropped.
"He's so cute!!" Make that just Harley. Kazuha was hypnotized by the sweet face on Conan, which was totally unlike him. Harley became jealous.
"Hey! You already have one girl!" He grew embarrassed upon saying that.
"I can't help it!" Conan looked pretty embarrassed himself. He wasn't expecting a response like this.
"Wait a second…aren't you supposed to be dead?!"
"Oh I learned a new trick! I can become physical!" Conan looked really happy. Harley calmed down. He hadn't seen him like this in…well, in forever. The last time he got very excited was during the 3 K's case, and that led to drastic results.
When both Conan and Harley realized who the murderer was, Conan refused to acknowledge it, resulting in him becoming fuming with rage and disbelief. He had tried to disprove it, but failed. Harley could still remember how disappointed he was…he almost gave up on soccer completely!
He smiled.
"Isn't this awesome?" Conan asked excitedly. "Being able to go physical, I mean."
"Yeah, I guess." Harley wasn't sure if it was good or bad. At that moment, Conan disappeared, causing Rachel and Kazuha to fall over and bump heads. Harley laughed. The two girls glared at him. Conan reappeared, only this time he was back to normal.
"Aren't you glad, Rachel?!" His mood remained the same, which was a good thing.
"Well, it's cool and all...but…"
"But…?" Conan looked upset to hear that word.
"Nevermind."
Conan looked skeptic.
"Okay, but what if someone sees you?"
Conan shook his head. "Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. You know I can take care of that."
"That's beside the point."
"I'm not stupid. What makes you think I'd do that in the middle of everyone?"
"Well, you did go and get yourself shrunk."
"Touché."
"Nah, it's just the truth."
"Darn."
"Well, let's go do something." Harley suggested.
"Nah, I've got better things to do." Conan disappeared.
Harley sighed.

Amy, Mitch, and George burst into the office. Anita followed quietly.
"Rachel!!" Amy gasped, panting.
"What is it?" Rachel wondered what the kids were up to now.
"C-Conan!" Mitch managed to say. "We saw the ghost of Conan!" Mitch usually didn't believe in ghosts, but this time was different.
Harley, Kazuha, and Rachel fell over. That's what he was planning to do?
"Y-yeah! First he smiled, and then he waved, and then he disappeared!" George added.
"It was only a hallucination." Anita said calmly.
"Then how come all four of us saw it?!" George challenged.
Anita couldn't respond to that.
"Ha ha! I'm right!"
"That you are." A voice loomed across the room, scaring the three kids, but not Anita. An image of Conan materialized. He was clapping. "Bravo." However, he only saw a trail of dust.
Anita yawned, but her eyes betrayed her.
"You could at least act surprised." Conan looked annoyed. Harley, Kazuha, and Rachel fell over once more.
"Aaah." Anita "screamed" unenthusiastically.
"You all saw him, right?" Amy looked scared out of her wits, which she was.
"Hey hey, I'm not all that scary, am I?" Conan looked a bit annoyed. "I mean, it's not like I haunt people or anything."
"Yes you do." Harley muttered quickly.
"What was that?" Conan had a "Japanese Rage" look on his face.
"Nothing."
Conan glared at him and turned back to the Junior Detective League. "Okay, so maybe I do haunt people, but not that often…" He then sighed (which didn't do him any good). "Wanna hear a story?"
The three kids edged closer.
"Okay, so you know Jimmy Kudo, right? Well…" He began his long tale.
***
"So…you mean to say we've been hanging out with Jimmy Kudo this whole time?" Mitch wanted to confirm.
"Pretty much." Conan nodded.
"Sweet! That means we're friends with the famous detective!" All three kids looked excited.
"Didn't you force me to?"
"That's true…" Amy laughed a little.
"But if Conan is Jimmy, doesn't that mean…" Mitch and George both smiled.
"He's with Rachel!"
"What!?" Conan looked stunned. Amy looked disappointed. Anita yawned again.
"Aww…" Amy whined a bit, accepting the truth. "But I told you so!"
"Told me what?"
"That ghosts—"
"Spirits."
"—do exist!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. And what do you mean that I'm with Rachel? I'm dead." Conan was looking confused and annoyed.
"Oh yeah…" Mitch forgot about that fact. "And since Conan is Jimmy that also means…" All three of the kids turned to look at Harley. "…you lied."
Harley laughed nervously.
"So…what can you do Conan?" Amy brushed off Harley.
"You know you can just call me by my real name…"
"But you're still Conan to me!" That statement from Amy earned Conan a glare from George and Mitch.
"Well, anyways, I can possess people, haunt their dreams, typical spirit stuff." He shrugged.
He noticed the TV was on the news coincidentally.
"Hey! Look! They've gotten a lead on my murder!"
"What!?" All three turned to look at him.
"Apparently, someone saw a—" He cut himself off.
"Saw what?!" Harley demanded.
"A…a…" He took a deep breath (which seemed completely pointless). "It's Gin!"
Author's Note: DUN DUN DUN!!! :O Well, he already suspected as much, but this just confirmed his worst fears. Anywho, I've come up with an awesome idea for another fic, but I won't type it up until I finish BCC and IATY.
DaGras gets a special mention for two reasons. One: he made fanart for BCC which you can check on DeviantArt, and two: He's my number one stalker-fan (or my only one at that). I hope it's not too short for you guys…Please leave a review for each chapter you read, I love my reviewers, but I can't love you if they don't review. D: You know how much getting reviews motivates me, so DaGras, not only does fanart motivate me, but so does getting reviews~ You can do a lot to motivate me, I've already motivated myself, but I think I can work faster than this…
Oh, and might I recommend watching Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. It's quite good really. If you exclude the whole playing children's card games on motorcycles part, then it's excellent.
