"Well, that plan was unsuccessful."

"I still say-"

"Lockpicks."

"Oh, yeah. We never did find out where he hides those..."

"Can we try it MY way now?"

"*sigh* Alright. But nothing permanent."

"Not a problem. And I know just the perfect one too, I read it in a story once."

"Aoko?"

"Yeah, Kaito?"

"Koizumi-kun?"

"Yes?"

"I don't mind you two trying to take over the world. Really I don't." Kaito said calmly. "But I would REALLY appreciate it if you would keep my self and Hakuba-kun out of your plans of global domination."

Hakuba grunted his agreement. He looked highly annoyed.

"We'll try." Akako promised, eyes wide with false innocence. Aoko nodded, backing her.

Kaito gave them a suspicious look, but let it go. "Thanks... C'mon Hakuba. Let's go see if we can change you back before lunch break ends."

The Hakuba-frog in Kaito's hand ribbitted.

"And thus fails plan #437."

"Dammit. He was supposed to kiss him to change him back."

"Maybe next time. At least they still think we're trying to take over the world."

"True. On to plan #438 to get Hakuba and Kaito together?

"I -still- we toss them in the closet if we find out where Kaito keeps his lockpicks."
