Chapter 9: Surprise, Surprise
Princess Sango
As they opened the door to Harley's house back in kid form. Conan and Cali blushed as soon as they heard the moans and sighs in the apartment. Conan and Cali started rushing towards the living room, sure to find a bed pulled out but instead found Harley and Kazuha in the most awkward position.
They blushed redder and soon Kazuha wrapped a blanket around herself and so did Harley with the next one that was under them. Conan and Cali stood there and Kazuha looked away, "How are we going to explain this to them?"
Harley shook his head, "Don't bother, their parents already told them."
Kazuha nodded and dropped that subject, "Maybe I should go then..."
Harley shook his head, "All of you can stay. Let us just get dressed you two and we'll be back." Harley and Kazuha ran out of the room and Cali and Conan sat on the floor. "I'm never sitting on that couch again."
Cali nodded in silentagreement and looked at the ring on her finger, "At least we can wait."
Conan laughed and smiled, "Yes, but we're a different case."
Conan kissed her for a brief second and when they pulled apart, Harley and Kazuha walked out of the hall both red but getting over it. Harley sat on the floor Conan and Cali sat there and smiled at them. "Okay Kazuha and I will be in my room and Cali and you can share the other room across the hall. I set out the futons and placed everything you need in there. My room is forbidden, got that?"
At their nods, he continued, "You may use the kitchen, the bathroom across from your room and you may watch television out here. So goodnight and see you tomorrow."
Conan and Cali waved to them and decided on going to sleep. Their small bodies were aching for sleep and after all that excitement they were happy to oblige. They made their way down the hall and fell asleep in seconds whentheir heads it the pillow.
The next day...
They woke up by hearing Harley knock on their door. When he noticed them awaken he smiled at them before shutting the door. "I'm sorry you guys. I should've warned you."
Conan and Cali smiled at him, "You should've but I'm thankful you spared us the talk."
Cali sighed and looked down at her finger to find the ring had slipped off! She searched the sheets and found it under her pillow. "Conan, the rings slipping off."
Conan looked at her, "Yeah, that's why I kept the box. We'll put it there until we're back to normal. I'll get you a ring so you'll remember." Harley looked confused.
Cali laughed, "You were so busy you didn't notice. I'm engaged to him."
Harley laughed, "Congrats you two! I guess your dad won't be too happy though huh Rachel?"
Cali laughed silently, "I know he won't but I love Jimmy-kun. I don't care what he thinks."
Conan nodded in agreement, "So when are you going to ask Kazuha?"
Harley blushed, "Soon, soon, I was thinking of next week."
"Perfect! So have you seen anything mysterious here?"
Harley shook his head, "No Conan, I can't say I have. The usual has been it. A bunch of crooks out to get things, murders, but no people our age who shrunk."
Conan nodded, "Not too much to go on, since Ai won't talk."
Cali sighed and hung her head, "Yeah, yeah..."
Cali smiled again and shrugged, "It'll take a little longer. Look we have to get back to Ai today. Thank you for letting us stay."
He nodded, "Okay but I'll keep an eye out for anything." Cali and Conan bowed in thanks as Harley left the room and they changed on separate sides of the room. They smiled and placed things back on the dresser. They said goodbye to Harley and then they left for the morning train.
Back in Tokyo...
It was nearly afternoon and as they skipped out of the train station and headed out towards Agasa's. As they opened the door Conan stopped her and took out the white cloth and opened it softly. He heard someone's screams and short gasps. Cali didn't need to be told twice to go run and get Inspector McGuire but before she could get away she was taken away.
"At least we meet Conan or Jimmy."
