* Cherry Blossoms *

Conan spat out another petal as he stepped off of his skateboard. Except for the fact that he could not seem to spit it out. Ayumi giggled as she watched him try to get rid of the offending piece of a plant and Genta and Mitsuhiko smirked at Conan.
"You know, Conan, that's what you get for going really fast in the spring," Genta told Conan.
Conan glared at Genta.
"You're just trying to find a way to make yourself feel better because you're jealous that I have a cool skateboard and you don't," snapped Conan.
"Wow," said Ayumi, "someone is in a bad mood. Do you not like flowers, Conan-kun?"
"No. I don't like cherry blossoms."
"I looooooove cherry blossoms. There are sooooo pretty," chirped Ayumi. "I wonder why you don't."
The Detective Boys sat down on the grass beneath a cherry tree and opened their lunches. Conan eyed the cherry tree with suspicion. He picked up a piece of food and as he was about to put it into his mouth a cherry blossom fell on the food. Conan glared at the offending petal. He picked off the petal and ate the food. When he reached down for another piece of food a wind blew and dumped an unusual amount of cherry blossoms on Conan and his meal.
The other Detective Boys had witnessed this event. Ayumi started to giggle like mad and Genta and Mitsuhiko began to snicker and then roar with laughter.
And they wonder why I don't like cherry blossoms, thought Conan; I'm a magnet for them!
