Misfortunes of Cali Edogawa and Conan Edogawa

Princess Sango

Conan sat on the steps of Rachel's school, "What's taking her so long?" His thoughts were impatient as all these other people came out of the school.

It looked normal and then he felt a hand on his shoulder, "Let's go Conan, sorry for making you wait so long." She smiled sweetly at him and pulled him along with the usual crowd.

"What took you so long Rachel?"

Rachel smiled, "Someone asked me to go out with him to the dance tonight. I'll end up going of course with him, but well..."

Conan smiled, "You'd rather go with Jimmy huh?"

Rachel blushed, "Of course Conan! Why wouldn't I?"

Conan smirked, "He would've said yes." "How do you know?"

Conan smirked, "I may hang out with my friends, but I've had talks with him too."

She looked down, "Did he mention me?"

Conan nodded, "He did a lot, he likes you."

Rachel smiled, "Did he really say that?"

"Yes, he told me so. He loves you very much."

"Conan, please tell me it's true. I've liked him since forever."

"I know that. It's all true."

Rachel nodded, "Just don't tell Jimmy I have this date, I don't want him to think that I like someone else. I just needed a date for this dance."

"Let her know I like her. She has no clue it's really me talking to her. Damn, if only I had my real form back! I would be the one to take her to that dance. Got to get a hold of that alcohol that that one person had given him," he thought. There was still a bottle that he could drink from and turn up in. "Rachel, I've got some things to do, I'll meet you at the house later ok?"

He let go of her hand and smiled at her, "I'll see you later!" He called out and ran towards the library. "Perfect, now that I'm away from Rachel I can grab the drink and go get ready for later tonight." He would have to wait till she left for her date and miraculously show up, so it wouldn't seem so obvious. He nodded and searched for a book on Chinese Alcohol.

He looked it up but couldn't find any of the ingredients; it only went into great detail about the history. Not one book mentioned the ingredient that he needed desperately. So he gave that hope up and ran out of the library to his apartment. He needed to find something to wear, but all he had were the school uniforms, a pair of sweats, and a tux in his closet. He looked in his drawers and found a pair of jeans and a shirt similar to what Mitch usually wears only in blue and white.

He threw them in his small bag with a pair of underwear and zippered it up. "You'll see me tonight Rachel, I'll reveal only some things, but not all," he thought as he locked up his apartment and ran over to his supposed "home" till he changed back. "How would Rachel feel about me being gone, Conan I mean? She'll have to be told after I change back for good."

He opened the door; it was already pretty late as he got in. The dance didn't start till seven and he had two hours till then to prepare. As Rachel entered the door with a dress she noticed me, "Finished what you needed to do Conan?" I nodded and she showed me the dress. "Do you like it? It's been in my closet for ages and I had to get it washed immediately before the dance. It was one of my mom's."

Her eyes glazed over and Conan was about to comfort her but she shook her head, "Who am I kidding tonight should be special. Did you talk to Jimmy yet Conan?"

Conan nodded, "He said he might show up, the case he was on was pretty tough."

"Nothing's tough for him! He's coming, should I cancel my date with that guy?"

Conan shook his head, "No don't! What if he doesn't show up? He wouldn't want you angry at him!"

Rachel nodded, "I guess you're right!"

She smiled at him, "I'm going to go get ready, and I'll show you before he shows up to take me." She ran upstairs into her room and Conan smiled and plopped down in front of the television. Richard came in and changed the channel.

"What'd you do that for?" Conan yelled at him.

"Shut up squirt, Yukino is on."

Conan snorted and Rachel came down at that time, "What's with the fighting you two?"

Conan looked over at Rachel about to say something when he noticed Rachel in that dress. She looked completely beautiful, "You look great Rachel!" He told her.

"Oh you like?" Conan nodded and observed the dress it was cerulean blue; sleeveless and came up to her ankles. Her slim form fit the curves and the low V-neck showed off just enough cleavage. Richard nodded at her and looked back at the television. Then the doorbell rang and Rachel answered it. "Hello Mason!" The guy supposedly named Mason walked in and smiled. He wore black jeans and a tight fit black t-shirt, his semi-long blonde hair hung loosely in a ponytail.

"Hi Rachel, shall we go? The dance starts in twenty minutes but the line to get in is always long."

"Okay, bye Conan, dad." She waived as she walked out the door with Mason. Conan didn't like this guy, and he looked oddly familiar. His mind remembered one of the guys had long blonde hair, but he was a man, not a teen!

"Now I definitely have to go," he thought more determinedly.

"Hey Richard, do you want something to drink?"

Richard looked over at Conan, "Yeah, but nothing you should drink. Do you think you can pour me some of that alcohol that I got from that friend of Rachel's?" Conan nodded, and poured a big glass for him and waited till he was done with it to pour a small glass for himself. Conan drank it all in one gulp and a searing pain came into his whole body.

Conan smiled as he felt his bones getting larger and himself getting taller. Conan grabbed his bag and ran into a local fast food place so Richard wouldn't see him get taller. He walked into the bathroom and changed as soon as he got tall enough. Conan had scammed another bottle and paid for it, just in case he transformed again.

Jimmy saw his school and opened the door to the dance. Everyone was there, and then he spotted Rachel. She was in the corner with that Mason dude and drinking something. She was looking around the dance floor with hope in her eyes. Jimmy gulped and disappeared in a crowd of dancers. He went with the flow and started dancing.

He looked above and saw Rachel waiting for the guy to come back. He was about to move in when he spotted Mason slipping a pill in the drink. Jimmy went to move but all the girls flocked to him and before he knew it Rachel had already been handed it and she had drank the whole thing! Then shock over came her face and she fell into the guy's arms.

"That was him!" his mind was screaming at him for not realizing it before. Mason dropped her on the floor and left with his buddies. "That's right creep, just keep walking," he said mentally. Jimmy raced up to Rachel and picked her up and carried her all the way to his apartment.

Rachel was shrinking in his arms, and the dress was now too big for her. Jimmy laid her on his bed and when she awoke two hours later she knew where she was immediately. "Why am I in Jimmy's room?" Rachel had a confused look on her face.

"I'm glad you're up Rachel. Long time no see," Jimmy told her.

"Jimmy, why am I here, what happened to Mason?"

"Mason ran out on you after slipping something in your drink. He's done that to me once," Jimmy told her plainly.

"Go look in the mirror Rachel but please don't scream."

Rachel got off the bed and her dress slid down, and as soon as she looked in the mirror she gasped, "I'm as small as Conan!"

"Naturally that's what he slipped in your drink it happens to me too."

A surge of pain went through Jimmy's heart and he fell to the floor. "Jimmy, what's wrong?"

"Bones...melting..." Rachel looked worried and gasped as Jimmy turned into Conan.

"Conan, what are you doing here?"

Conan looked at her, "I am Jimmy, Rachel. You got the same thing I did. Now we're both small and I thought you should know."

"How am I supposed to go home like this Conan? Tell my dad I've shrunk?"

Conan laughed, "I only remain big if I drink that alcohol one of my rivals gave you. That's how I was able to solve that one room case. Rachel, I know you're alcohol free and so was I but unless you drink that stuff every one to two hours, you'll shrink."

"So what do I do? Drink that stuff as if kami invented?"

Conan shook his head, "Just tell your dad."

Rachel looked at him, "Why would I do that? If he found out I would be in a lot of trouble by also explaining who you are."

Conan brainstormed ideas, "You could use my voice changing tie and say you're traveling with me for awhile as I crack cases?"

"Hmmm... that would work, okay I'll use that, but my voice!"

Conan adjusted his tie and handed it to her, "Speak into the mike."

"Hello?" Rachel's older and mature voice came out of it. "Wow!" She picked up the phone and dialed her number, and Richard answered it, "Hi dad, can I travel with Jimmy! Please, I don't know for how long but I really want to see around the world. My studies of course will keep expanding while I'm traveling please?"

Her pleading voice must have worked and Richard had given in. "Oh, and dad, Dr. Agasa needs you to look after Conan's sister Cali. She knows how to cook and everything." A pause one the line and Rachel continued, "Don't worry they won't trouble you at all! Okay, I've got to go catch a plane, so I'll see you later!" Rachel hung up the phone, "Conan, how am I supposed to get around looking like this?"

"Well, I think it's about time you met Amy."

"Amy?"

Conan rolled his eyes, "Amy is one of the people who befriended me, and I think she likes me but she's too young and I don't really favor her like that."

Rachel nodded and remembered the conversation she had with Conan earlier that day. "You mean you were the one who really told me about..."

She blushed, "Yeah, I really do like you. I just never thought you liked me back.

Rachel looked at him and kissed him on the cheek, "I'm glad you told me. Now let's go meet Amy so I can get out of these clothes!"

He nodded and opened the door and thought, "Rachel knows, she kissed me, am I her unofficial boyfriend now?"
