Pt. 1

The slowly sinking afternoon sun greets the window of the room that Ran is in. Her best friends, Suzuki Sonoko and Toyama Kazuha were next to her, complimenting on her looks and busy fiddling with her hair for this day. Ran sat gracefully in her chair, allowing other to dress her up and apply make up on this day. Her gown was marvelous, stitches of barely visible white roses decorated the main parts of the gown, beautiful laces decorates the collar, the sleeves, and the end of the dress, and white ribbons hanging from point to point around the dress completed the dress. Kazuha carefully placed the white veiling on her head, covering her dark-brown hair. As Sonoko handed her the bouquet of flowers, she was complete. On this day...

Her wedding day.

She has been waiting for this day for too long. Ever since that night's dinner in that five-star restaurant, ever since that day at Tropical Island, heck! Ever since the very beginning she has been waiting, waiting for this day.

Her wedding day with Shinichi.

There was a knock on the door, and the moment after, Heiji came in. "The groom is waiting." He said.

"We'll be right there!" Kazuha said as Sonoko gave Ran the final makeup. The three best friends started to head out. This day is finally here, Ran closed her eyes and allowed her mind bring her back to the past......

~~~

My name is Shinichi? What's your name?
My name is Ran.
Ran-chan? Will you be my friend?

The car drove by a grand mansion sitting next to a huge, laboratory-like house. Ran stared out into the rain at this new environment.

"Ran-chan, sit back down, you might fall over." Eri said.

"Okay, mommy." The young girl sat back down.

The car stopped in front of a small cafe. Kogoro, holding an umbrella, pointed at the second story of the building, "That, Ran, is our new home."

~The next day~

The teacher wrote down three kanji characters neatly on the board behind her. "Class, this is Mouri Ran, her father is a police, and her mother a lawyer, they've just moved here recently. I want each and every one of you make her feel welcomed."

"Hai!!" The class chorused, even though they agreed, Ran was still alone during recess...

"Look, she's the new girl!"
"Isn't her dad a cop or something?"
"Yeah, and I think her mom's a lawyer."
"That's so scary..."
"Let's stay away from her."

The young Mouri sat alone on the swing, listening to other kids' comments about her family. She hated this new place where she has no friends.

"Hey!" A voice behind her said, it has to be someone who has come to criticize on her parents again. "Your dad's a cop? That's so cool!"

She turned around, a young boy with a wide grin was smiling at her. "My name is Shinichi, what's your name?"

"My...my name is Ran."

"Ran-chan? Will you be my friend?"

Young Ran was surprised, it's her first friend in this new environment! "Sure!" She said cheerily. The two young kids, Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran, became friends that day, starting the sweetest friendship ever...

*Notes on the title of the story:

I wanted to call this story "Mushoku" (Meaning colorless, therefore naming this story after one of the Conan songs). The reason is because this fic takes place in Ran's memory, and usually flashbacks take place in black-and-white colors. However, I thought that naming it "Mushoku" (Colorless) will make it sound like some dark and unpleasant fic. So I decided to re-name it "Memories."

And no, that wasn't the end of the fic..., I'm thinking of writing two or three more short stories (as in...really short) about their childhood...
