I am currently writing to you from an unknown location. Thankfully I managed to stow away my laptop before they could notice. They've gone through all my belongings so far. Right now they're reading all my Hetalia roleplays and it's kinda embarrassing. The worst thing that could ever happened has happened. After 14 ½ attempts, the plot-bunnies have finally abducted me. They also are wearing my clothes, and I don't think any of the plot-bunnies are girls. So it's kinda disturbing. I don't know why or what they plan to do to me, but I do know that they have already given me six different brain implants(that I can remember). Please help.

Chapter 25: An Awful Noise

Okay, so I am pleased to announce that KatioPhantom1412 is now using his kawaii-powers for good instead of purposes of evil (like staring down my soul).

In my Phoenix Wright position, I pointed at nothing. "Someone stole my machine."
Conan looked confused. "Are you mocking me?"

Then I remembered Phoenix Wright and Conan Edogawa share the same pose, and put my hand down. "Oh, nothing. Ignore me. So what do we do about my dilemma?"

"Well, you could ask people. Look around the house."

"I bet Aver stole it!"

So we ran downstairs to Aver, who was in the kitchen doing who-knows-what. "Where were you when my teleportation device was stolen?"
Conan stood on his toes and murmured just loud enough for me to hear, "Bakka, we don't know if it was stolen, and we don't know when it went missing."

I shrugged. "Good point. Okay, then. Do you have my teleportation device?"
"No, I don't even have a motive."

"Aha! You're lying! You're the culprit! You have a motive alright, and it's dead-obvious!"

"Nani?"

"You're Aver! It's in your nature to be a pest like A-shu! And I bet you'd do it just to mess with me and everything I've worked for, huh? Admit it! Spill the truth!"

He shrugged. "Okay, meitantei KAM, try all you want. Test me with a lie detector. Search me."

(Okay, the fact that when he said 'search me' I instantly imagine a sexual reference frightens me. Now I'm 90% sure I have no innocence left)

So we moved on to other people. "I bet it was you, Kogorou!"

"Why would I do it? I don't have a motive or anything! Don't be stupid!"

"You probably wanted to get back at me for sending my glorious Wrath upon you because you rode my unicorn. You're a vengeful guy, I know it was you."
Then, Conan whispered in my ear, "You realize Kogorou is too STUPID to have been able to steal your device."

I shrugged. "You make a good point."

Kogorou's face turned red. "I heard that! GET BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE RUNT!"
So we ran. An ran. Really fast. Luckily Kogorou was too lazy to chase after us and we were off the hook.

We bumped into Heijji. "Do you know where my teleportation device is?"

"No…"

"Do you have it?"
"No…"

"I think you do."

"What would I do with it?"
"I don't know, a lot of things."

"You can check all my belongings if you're that skeptical."

"Would you mind helping us look, then?"
He nodded, and as I skipped ahead, I heard him and Conan talking. "Maybe it just naturally got lost."

"Yeah, I know. I told her that."

"I can hear you two," I said loudly.

They both seemed startled. "B-but we weren't talking."

Then a random thought popped in my mind. Maybe it was Conan! Nah, he's too cute.

So we asked everyone else. Either they didn't have a motive, never got the chance, or were too clumsy to be able to steal anything.

So we hit a brick wall. So we sat on the ground, looking for it at a different angle. Eating cookies.

"Arigatou," Conan chirped.

"What for?"
"W-well…" he stammered in his kawai voice. "Going about this futile investigation has taken my mind off things."

"You mean the fact that your situation is worse than before," Heijji asked.

"Hai. I would have been really depressed all day if we hadn't had done this. Arigatou."

I couldn't help it. I had to squeeze him again. He sounded so cute in his little kawaii voice. "Oh Conan-chan! Who could be sad around a face like yours?!"
He seemed really irritated, and pushed me away. "I hate it when you do that."

"Won't you give the Birthday Girl some extra privileges?"
"What do you mean?"

"December 10th. My birthday."

"Oh," Heijji grinned foolishly. "You'll be somewhere around sixteen, right?"
"You think she's that old," Conan added. "I thought she looked more like nine or so."

I was so mad I slapped them both upside the head really hard. "BAKKAS! I'm not sixteen or nine, or even close to either of those!"
Gently rubbing his red cheek, Heijji asked, "Really? How old are you turning then?"

"Thirteen."
"Oh…"

So we all quietly ate our cookies for the next few minutes. Scanning the room for the device, scanning our laps for cookie crumbs.

Then my computer made an awful noise.
