Ch2

Sorry, I had writer block so I couldn't update this story. I appreciated all the reviews I received for chapter one.

To Her Surprise

Continuing off last time:

The kitchen door creaked open and Conan gasped as the light engulfed his body. The professor sat behind the counter with a pen and a note book in his hand, waving his and once at the arrival of the boy. Haibara stood behind the kitchen table, pushing down on the wooden chair that was tucked neatly under it.

"What's going on?" the tiny detective walked in with confusion.

"I'm going on a date tonight," Ai spoke sheepishly, though there was still her usual cold tone in her voice.

"Oh congratulations, hope you have fun," he nodded then turned his attention to his caller. "So what's the reason you called me here?" he asked. 'Please be the cure Please be the cure Please be the cure Please be the cure' he repeated it in his hand.

"I called you here tonight…," the professor paused with a guilty smile. 'Damn it wasn't the cure,' Conan dropped his shoulders in disappointment and allowed the professor to continue. "I called you tonight to go on a date with her," he said.

"YOU WHAT!" Conan jumped, hitting his head hard against the inside wall of his imagination.

"Please?" the professor begged.

"No way, I came here cause I thought you made the cure since you sounded soooo URGENT in your call. Why does that all of a sudden turn into me going on a date with her?" he huffed, folding his hands angrily.

"Please Shinichi, think of this like a favor for an old friend," pleaded the old scientist.

"Why all of a sudden…" Conan looked over, sticking out his lips with a crescent eye.

The professor blushed slightly and fidgeted his fingers. "You see…" he began.

(He tells him what's going on)

"AHAHAHAHA" Conan bursted out laughing, holding the side wall to keep him from falling to his back. "You got a…and you…AHAHA…this is too much, haha"

The professor looked irritatingly at Conan, blushing furiously while he clutched his fist and raising it to the side of his fist. "Oh be quiet! Just cause I'm old, doesn't mean I can't be sexually active right?" he puffed.

A sudden shiver went up the spines of the two tiny backs which forced them to quiver their entire body to shake off the sensation. "Don't say 'sexually active' at your age. Oh my god that was a disgusting image," Conan blunted, holding his elbows, still shivering.

Haibara held one index finger to the center of her for head and felt embarrassment for the old man as she shook her head.

"What's wrong with me saying…" the professor stuck his head forward as he spoke but was abruptly cut off by the two's "DON'T SAY IT!" before he could finish.

"Fine, what ever. So are you going to help me on this one?" the professor asked.

Conan looked at his face and tried everything in his power to keep himself from going into another laugh riot but he could not hold a few snickers from escaping from his lips. He cleared his throat and said, "I suppose," as his lips twitched from the need of laughter.

"Good! My date will be just a dinner at a restaurant so that's where I will take you two. We'll leave around 7:00 to the newly opened Touto restaurant alright?" he said.

"Alright, will you be sitting with us then?" Conan asked.

"No, I will be at the table beside you two to watch every detail of your…date" he said.

"Mendokuse!" Conan groaned and looked up into the ceiling.

"Kudou-kun, I hope you don't expect a good night kiss after this thing," Haibara mocked.

"Wh..What! I never even thought about that," Conan said as his cheeks began to receive a tint of pink.

Haibara chuckled in amusement at the nervous boy that shook his head rapidly. "I'm just kidding… you amuse me," she laughed.

The young lad dropped his head and laughed irritatingly at the tiny chemist.

Somewhere in a Department Shop

"Hey Ran, it's 6:40 already, lets go somewhere and eat," Sonoko wined holding her few bags of clothing she just bought while they dangled from her tired arms.

"That's cause you're too violent when it comes to buying cloth," Ran chuckled, "I swear, you would've killed that other lady to get that tank-top if I didn't tell you to stop."

"Yea, it was because of you that I didn't get that cute outfit! As a punishment, maybe I'll ask you to buy me supper," Sonoko said, sticking her face right up against Ran.

"EH? But that will clear most of my allowance for the week!" Ran pleaded nervously.

"Yea, Shinichi-kun always paid for your dinner when you two went out in secret right?" Sonoko said narrowing her eyes.

"What are you talking about, we never went on any…" Ran jumped back, turning her head to hide her blush and to avoid eye contact.

Sonoko chased Ran's pathetic attempt. "Oh common, I'm your best friend. I know these things," She said in a sly voice, "Maybe the next time I see your dad I'll tell him about some of the…intricate moments you had with your husband."

"His not my husband! And what intricate moments?" Ran shouted letting her cheeks glow red.

"My, my. Look at those cheeks, I bet they would glow in the dark right now. Besides, with a father like yours, I bet he'll believe anything I tell him as long as I mention your HUSBAND's name," she said smiling evilly.

'Sonoko…' a sweat drop fell from the back of Ran's head.

"I'm just toying with you, I won't make you pay for my meal when I'm the daughter of the millionaire. As a return for that little mocking, I'll buy you dinner," she smiled.

Ran rolled her eyes at her taunt then shook her hand, as she declined, "No that's okay I can pay for my own."

"Don't worry about it, it's been a while since we came shopping so lets top it off at a fancy restaurant," Sonoko smiled cheerfully.

"But…"

"Hey, I'm the one that's offering you a free meal so just take it,"

"Still…"

"Common, you should get away from home cooking once in a while too you know,"

"Fine…"

Kogorou Home

(Ring Ring Ring)

"Hello, Mouri Detective Agency," Kogorou said lazily.

"Hi, daddy?" Ran answered.

"Oh Ran, Where are you, I've starving over here," Kogorou asked rubbing his stomach.

"I'm calling to tell you I won't be coming home for supper, me and Sonoko is going out, so just make something between you and Conan-kun for tonight," Ran explained.

"What! I've been waiting for you to get home for so long! Now your telling me I gotta make something for myself?" Kogorou groaned.

"Yourself? Isn't Conan-kun there?" Ran asked in curiosity.

"Huh, oh he left a while ago to the professor's house."

"Right before supper?"

"Why should I care, he seemed all excited about it so I just let him go. But anyways, What am I suppose to do for supper, my cooking is worse than your mother's!"

"I don't know, order a pizza or something then. I got to go now, bye!"

"Hey Ran! Ran? RAN!" Kogorou yelled into the receiver then dropped his head, "Crud…" and opened his empty wallet.

Back at the Department Store

"So, where we going?" Ran asked.

"I've been wanting to check out this place for a while now. It's been closed for remodeling for sometime and just recently reopened, Touto Restaurant," Sonoko said.

"Sounds great, lets go!" Ran smiled.

Later in Restaurant

Ran and Sonoko was sitting at their table chatting away to pass the time while they waited for the arrival of their food. They sat against the back wall as a dim light, directly above their table lit the utensils just enough to make them seem as though they sparkled. The roof had tiny spots of glowing-in-the-dark circles to which they admired as they found real constellations amongst them.

clink clink

The chime above the entrance door sang out as three figures walking in. "Welcome, will it be only three people?" the waitress greeted them.

Ran and Sonoko turned then gasped in surprise. "Co…Conan-kun?" Ran mumbled to herself. She was about to get up to greet them when she felt her friend's hand, gripping her wrist, motioning for her to stop. She turned to look at Sonoko questioningly and saw her pointing to the person beside young lad, blushing with amusement. Ran turned her head back to the scene, "WHAT!" she bursted out then held her mouth realizing it was a bit loud. She looked back and let go of her mouth seeing how they did not notice her.

Ai stood beside him, dressed in a sparkling white dress while her high heels clanked against the marble floor with each step. There was elegance in her steps, not something you would expect from a grade 1, six years old child. She seemed so mature that it was beginning to scare her two observer, and some of the guests around her.

Following closely behind, they could see the old, tubby, scientist, holding a small note book as he jolted something down rapidly with a pen.

Conan put one hand behind his back as he straightened it, then made a hoop with the other in a gentleman's stance. Haibara accepted his offer and put her arm through his. They walked while smiling at one another with occasional turns of their head to the professor and whispering something to him which Ran nor Sonoko could catch.

Snickers and small talks erupted around them as the guests watched the two tiny dates walk in so…not child like. Words like "Cute", and "Adorable" frequently entered Conan's ears as he marched down the isle and he blushed slightly from all the attention.

They reached their table, a table for two. Haibara took her arm back from Conan then waited as Conan pulled the chair out for her with a bow and a hand signal for her to take her seat.

The scene left Ran and Sonoko with their mouth hung down with shock. They returned to face each other with robotic motion then pushed their jaws up with their hand. Rubbing their eyes and giving their heads a shake, they turned back to confirm the image they had just scene. There they were, Conan now taking his seat, still keeping his back straight as Ai smiled through her poker face at the tiny boy. The professor had sat down at the table next to them and continued to write something on his little booklet as he smiled at the two. "uhhh…………" the two were stunned. Their lips twitched rapidly through their weak smile while they blinked occasionally to prevent their eyes from falling out.
