File 5. Date
"Such a nice place for dating, Kudo," a dark-coloured skin teenager was talking to Shinichi, "no wonder you come here so often with Ran before." Heiji and Kazuha had come all the way from Osaka to the Tropical Land to have a double date with Shinichi and Ran.
Kazuha immediately pulled Heiji away and whispered, "didn't you forget that we come all the way to help Shinichi to get his memories back? What's the point coming to the Tropical Land here?"
"Aho! Don't you know that Kudo and Ran had come here lots of time before, even their last date before he turned to Conan. The Tropical Land would be the best place for Kudo to regain his memories back. Moreover," Heiji's face flushed slightly under his dark skin. It's obvious that Kazuha did not notice his face had reddened, "moreover?" asked Kazuha.
"I can also have a date with you," said Heiji. "Our first official date." Kazuha blushed immediately upon knowing about her first date with Heiji.
"Where should we go first then?" asked Ran.
"Um, I have no idea," said Kazuha. "Heiji, where do you want to go first."
"Of course we should go to the 'Haunted Mansion' first," Heiji suggested.
"The 'Haunted Mansion'?" Both Ran and Kazuha exclaimed immediately, their face turned pale upon thinking about the ghosts and monsters in the mansion.
"Kazuha, you know that Ran's afraid of ghosts," Heiji whispered to Kazuha, "then Kudo would protect her in the mansion, so that this may improve their relationship. Kudo may even remember Ran also."
"Okay," said Kazuha, then she turned to Ran, "let's go the 'Haunted Mansion', Ran-chan." The four of them then headed to the Haunted Mansion.

"Heiji, you're so slow," said Kazuha. "We can't catch up with Ran-chan and Kudo-kun. It's so dark here." Heiji pulled Kazuha to him, "don't you think it's better for the two of them alone," said Heiji, "and we can spend more time together."
"Shinichi, we're a bit too fast," said Ran in a worrying voice, "Kazuha-chan and Hattori-kun may not be able to catch up."
"That's okay, Hattori is with Kazuha, they'll not be in any danger," said Shinichi, "it's better you worry about yourself first. Look!" He pointed a direction opposite to where Ran was facing. Ran turned her head by instinct, forgetting where she was now, saw a disgusting looking ghost right beside her. She immediately threw herself to Shinichi, "WOW!"
"It has gone already, are you afraid of ghost?" said Shinichi, he noticed that Ran's body was still shaking, and felt sorry to make her fear. "That's okay now, I'd lead you to the entrance safely." He then held Ran's hand tight and heading to the entrance.
At last, they found the entrance. Heiji and Kazuha were already there, waiting for them. "Ran-chan, you're here finally," said Kazuha, her face was quite pale. It was obvious that she did not enjoy her trip to the haunted mansion. Heiji was grinning at them, "what's happened with your hands? Glued together?"
Shinichi and Ran finally noticed that their hands were still holding tight, their hands were separated at once. Both of them were flushing fiercely, "it's just too dark inside." It was obvious that both Heiji and Kazuha were not convinced.
"Where should we go next?" asked Ran.
"I just want to go somewhere relaxing," said Kazuha.
"I have an idea," said Shinichi.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"I can't see it," said Kazuha, "don't know how's Ran going with Kudo-kun." Kazuha was riding the Ferris Wheel with Heiji, and she was trying to catch a glimpse at the next cabin where Ran and Shinichi were sitting.
"They'll be okay, it's just a matter of time," said Heiji recklessly. "Aren't they going well in the Haunted Mansion?"
"But I'm still worried about Ran," said Kazuha, and then she found out that Heiji was approaching to her, "Heiji!"
"Isn't it time for you to worry about us first," said Heiji, his arms were trapping Kazuha so that she could only move herself back to her chair. His face was approaching closer to her, "wait! Heiji!"
Heiji did not wait for her response, but kissed her on her lips. Kazuha was just too shocked, she just stared at Heiji. "Our first kiss," said Heiji, his face was blushing slightly.
"Aho! How can you do that all of a sudden?" Kazuha was blaming Heiji for kissing her suddenly, "I'm not prepared yet! Don't you know how to choose a right time and place?"
"So you're telling me to ask for your permission every time before I could do anything to you," said Heiji, not completely satisfied at her response. "Okay, I want to kiss you now."
"Huh?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
"It's beautiful!" Ran was looking outside the window, "Shinichi, look! We used to ice-skating there!" Shinichi approached closer to take a look, and his face was just inches away from Ran's, "do you want to go there afterwards?"
Ran was blushing deeply on her face, "maybe we should ask Kazuha-chan and Hattori-kun first." Shinichi had noticed the redness on Ran's face, "Daijyoobu? Are you feeling well?"
Shinichi was trying to press his forehead on Ran's, "wait, Shinichi, I'm okay." Ran tried to push Shinichi away with both of her hands, and then she heard the door opened, "thank you for riding." They both left immediately, and found that Heiji and Kazuha were already waiting for them.
"Ran-chan, how is the ride?" asked Kazuha.
"Um…that's great, but your face is reddened, Hattori-kun also, what'd happened? " said Ran. Kazuha flushed more, "nothing, yours were flushing deeply also, does Kudo-kun remember anything?" Ran shook her head slightly, "but we're going along quite well, I think that it's just a matter of time."
"When will you two stop talking? We're going now," Heiji started complaining to Kazuha.
"Go where?" asked Ran.
"The Mystery Coaster," answered Shinichi.
