Chapter 3: Just another Day
It was another beautiful day. Detective Mouri was seating in his chair and reading the newspaper while Ran was cooking their breakfast. The aroma of fried eggs and hotdogs filled the air as Conan woke up with his pajamas on and rubbing his eyes.
"OI! CONAN! " The voice of detective boomed inside the apartment.
"Where have you been last night?"
"Daddy... he's with his friend and forgot to tell me where he is" Ran winking at Conan.
"Next time call us where you will go... Ran was very worried...Shinichi is enough to make Ran worry." Kogoro looking at his daughter with a twitching eye.
"DADDY...."
Ran's face blushed then turned back to continue her cooking. The three ate their breakfast. Conan and Ran took a bath and got ready for school. Kogoro Mouri drove them to their school.
In Teitan Elementary school, the gang was waiting for Conan.
"Bye Conan..... Take care" Ran waved her hands inside the car.
"Ran you worry too much for that boy....umm..... maybe because he reminds you of Shinichi." Kogoro teases his daughter again.
In school everybody were talking about the school dance. The boys are asking every girl they like to go with. Ran was feeling awkward sensing too much romance in the school while she was alone walking to her classroom.
"Ran! There you are...." Sonoko smiling cheerfully at her friend. "So.... anybody asked you out"
" Isn't it the school dance scheduled for next week?"
"Yup.. ....But its not too early to prepare"
"So you.. who asked you to be their date?"
"No one yet.... .but I know someone who want's to go with you.." Ran feeling Sonoko was bluffing headed on to her class.
She went to her seat and looked out the window. She sat there silently and thinking about Shinichi.
" Shinichi... .I hope you come back soon.. "
After school Ran went straight home and did her household chores. She was thinking about the dance while she was cleaning the table. Conan spotted her and wanted to ask something. "Ran. ..Ran... HEY!"
"What?" Ran was startled at the boy.
"I said... If I could have your book about Sherlock Holmes?"
"Ok..."
Conan was about to leave.
"Ummm.... Conan!"
"What is it?"
"Ummm..... Do you think Shinichi could come back next month at least for one day?"
"Huh?. ..I don't know.... Why?"
"I ....I was wondering if he could make it to our school dance."
Looking at Conan to give her hope.
"Maybe if you just ask him when he calls... I'm sure he will do his best to attend the dance."
"Do you really think so?"
Excitedly smiling at the little boy.
"Yup!"
Conan said without looking at Ran, because he knows that it's impossible that he could turn back to Shinichi easily. But he wished that for at least one day he could be normal and ask Ran to the dance.
After their conversation Conan ran to the door and went to Dr. Agasa. The doctor was working with Ai in the laboratory. Ai was sitting on the table and writing formulas.
"Oi! Conan what are you doing here?"
"I was just checking on the formula."
"Are you running out of patience?" Ai teased, but Conan just ignored the girl.
"Well its really hard even though Ai is here, because the pill is intended for poisoning. There are some miscalculations that's why the effect is unexpected."
"Ok .. Thanks doc."
Conan left the house and decided to call Ran in the phone booth.
RING...RING...RING... Ran picked up the phone.
"Hello Mouri's residence"
"Hello. ...Ran?" Ran's eyes widened, speechless upon hearing the familiar voice
"Hello.. Is anybody there?"
"Shinichi?"
"Hey Ran.... I heard that our school was having a party.. so are you going?"
"Well. I don't know. It depends."
"Depends on what?"
"If certain someone would ask me to the dance"
"Well maybe Ken Yoneda will ask you to the dance."
"What? You know him..... and how do you know that I had met him?" Conan immediately thinks of an excuse to avoid ran from suspecting.
"Well Conan told me about this perfect guy you really like"
"Conan?"
"Yes. ..I called in Doctor Agasa's house and talked to Conan. He told me everything."
"Did he tell you . other stuff?"
"What other stuff?" Shinichi already knew what Ran was trying to say he just wanted Ran to tell him directly the things she have said to Conan.
"Oh nothing..." Ran avoided telling Shinichi her true intentions to him.
"OI! CONAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?"
Detective Mouri spotted Conan using the phone booth. So Conan ended his conversation to Ran immediately, not having the chance to tell her what he wanted to say.
"Conan. ..why are you using the phone booth? We have a phone in the house."
"He....he. ..emergency."
"Whew. ....That's close." Conan thought.
"You want to go with me?"
"Where?"
"Home of course..... Ran is cooking curry" The two guys went back to the apartment and had their dinner.
