Chapter 2: Amy, School, and Confessions

Princess Sango

Last Time...

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?"

This Time...

While still pondering this, Conan found himself at Amy's in fifteen minutes. Cali seemed quiet when they were walking; it looked like her mind was trying to put two and two together. "Cali, we're at Amy's," Conan told her softly enough to get her attention. She blinked and nodded.

Conan knocked on the door to see Amy's mom answer it. Her mom seemed annoyed, "Yes?" Conan disregarded it as it being eight o clock, and most kids at this time are in bed.

"Is Amy still up? I'm her friend, Conan Edogawa."

She nodded, "Come in, and stay here, I'll go get her." She ran off to find her daughter.

Amy appeared soon after and smiled at Conan, but then noticed Cali behind him. "Hi Conan, what are you doing out so late? Who is she?"

Conan smiled, "This is my twin sister, Cali Edogawa. She ended up coming unexpectedly and we have no clothes to give her where we are staying. Do you think you could lend her some?" Conan breathed in a huge gust of air, waiting to see what her answer was.

"Sure, follow me." Amy skipped up the stairs as Conan and Cali followed. Amy opened her door and opened her closet. "Pick out any outfit, as many as you want. I have tons and my mom was going to take me shopping tomorrow to get more."

Cali looked up in the closet and gasped, "You have so many clothes!"

Amy giggled, "Yes, I know, my mom wants me to have a new wardrobe for every season."

"Wow...okay then." Cali walked into the closet and came out with a blue skirt and a white and blue sailor shirt. She pulled out pink sweatpants and a pink and red shirt. After about twenty minutes Cali thought she had enough to get her through the next week.

"Thank you Amy," she smiled thankfully.

Amy blinked, "Why don't you grab one more pair for today? You need pajamas too right?"

"Oh yeah! I forgot."

"Okay, I'll grab the pajamas and you go and choose a pair and get changed into it." Amy shuffled to her dresser and Cali found a nice orange jumper and a white collared shirt. She looked at Conan and blushed; he got the message and walked outside the door.

"Do you have a pair of underwear Amy?" Amy didn't answer and threw several pairs at her.

Cali dragged herself to the corner of the room and threw one of the pair of underwear on and pulled off the dress and changed it into that outfit she picked out for today. Socks were piled on the floor and a pair of sneakers that seemed too clean for a kid. She threw them on and Amy had a bag and was already shoving things into it.

"You know, Conan never told me he had a twin," Amy told her as an after thought.

"Well you see, I never really was with Conan much, so he didn't know much about me."

Amy looked up confused, "How come?"

Cali giggled nervously, "Our parents are divorced and my dad took Conan and my mom took me. The last time we saw each other was when we were four."

"I haven't told Conan, but..." Amy stopped and didn't continue.

"Yes," Cali asked interested.

"Promise not to tell him?"

Cali nodded, "Tell me." "I like him," she whispered just enough so that Cali could hear.

"I thought so," Rachel was screaming inside. That really got her jealous but in her mind it was saying, "You're supposed to be his sister, you're supposed to be his sister." "You're secret's safe with me," she said trying to sound happy.

"Thank you." Amy looked at her clock, "It's getting late, so why don't we pack up and I'll see you tomorrow at school?"

"Yes, I guess you will." She forced a smile and helped Amy shove the last bit of clothes into her bag.

"Thanks again Amy." She opened the door to find Conan sitting outside waiting patiently.

"Ready?" Cali nodded and Amy led them to the door and said she'll see them tomorrow.

After the door was closed and they were sure Amy couldn't hear, Cali breathed out. "Is she really that hyper all the time?"

Conan laughed, "Yes, but wait till you see her tomorrow morning. Then you'll meet George and Mitch."

Cali seemed agitated, "I'm back in elementary school, what am I to do?"

Conan laughed, "Yeah I know, I said that the same day you forced me to go. It's easy though, takes five minutes to do homework, and ten minutes for tests."

Cali seemed really annoyed now, "What did Amy say to you? You weren't as annoyed as you were when we first saw her."

"She told me something, but I promised not to tell."

Conan thought for a second, "She told you that she liked me huh?"

She blushed and looked at the street. "She did, and you got jealous! Tell the truth Rach."

Cali blushed furiously and nodded. "Okay, now that that's out in the open, let's go see your dad."

Conan ran up the stairs and knocked on the door. "Yes?" asked Richard as he opened the door.

"Hi Richard, this is my sister Cali. I'm sure Rachel told you about her?" Richard nodded and stepped aside to let them in.

"Now look, we only have three rooms. I don't want Rachel to yell at me for letting anyone else in her room while she's gone, so you two are going to have to share the room Conan is in. Any questions, ask Conan, since I'll be too busy with files and cases." Cali nodded as she watched Richard tell them goodnight and leave the room.

"You're dad really never was around was he?" asked Conan.

"Nope, he always told me what he was doing and made sure he knew where I was. It happens."

She ran into Conan's room, there wasn't another futon, "Guess we're sharing that too Conan."

He walked in and thought, "Richard, if you had any clue right now, you'd be fuming." Conan looked at Cali, "Be thankful that he thinks we're just brother and sister. He would be fuming if he ever knew, you know." Cali nodded and opened up her bag and threw a nightgown out and walked into the bathroom.

She changed into it and walked out to see Conan only in his boxers. "I noticed an extra blanket and pillow, so I grabbed it. We'll be sharing a futon, but not a blanket." Cali nodded, trying not to blush. She hurried over to her side and lay down and stared at the ceiling. Conan lay down next to Cali, "You know; it won't be so bad Rach."

Cali nodded, "I know I better but I better rest up for school tomorrow." She rolled on her side and was asleep instantly.

"Don't worry Rachel, I'll tell you tomorrow." He kissed her cheek and rolled on his side and fell asleep.
