MD: Hey there! I is updating! Yay! I am going to try to update once a week, mostly on weekends.

Conan: Yeah, that will last maybe three chapters.

MD: Hey! It's not easy being a high school student. I have a ton of homework (being in honors and all) tests to study for, notes to take, a violin and flute to practice….need I continue?

Conan: No, but I do think you are exaggerating a bit.

MD: Hey! Not all of us here are high school students going to elementary school you know!

Conan: Hey! There was no need for that… blushes bright red

MD: rolls eyes anywho, the next chapter is finally here! I'm so happy that you guys liked my other chapter! 9 reviews! Thank you so much! As usual, I will respond at da bottom.

Conan: Great great. Can you please start the chapter now? I think they all want to start reading after that cliff hanger you did last time.

MD: hee hee. After all the horrible cliff hangers I've been forced to endure, I had to write one of my own! So, to ease your minds, here is my next chapter!

To Tell, or Not to Tell

Conan stood there, his body frozen and his looking at Dr. Agasa, then the computer screen, then back at Dr. Agasa.

He swallowed thickly and tried to get his voice working again. "It's done?" was the best he could manage.

Dr. Agasa beamed at him and nodded. Conan went to sit on the couch; he didn't think that his legs would hold him much longer.

Dr. Agasa watched him for a moment to make sure that he was okay before going. "Hai, these are the ingredients for the antidote. It should only take me a week or two to actually put it together."

Conan's eyes, somehow, got even bigger. (A/N MD: He musta been like O.O haha! Conan: shut up and continue with the story! MD: Fine fine, sheesh)

"A week," he thought to himself numbly. "Just one or two more weeks, and I'll be Shinichi again, and no longer Conan. I can finally tell Ran how I feel." He felt himself blush slightly at the last thought, but Dr. Agasa didn't seem to notice. He was looking at the computer screen and was turning it off. Seeing this, Conan knew that there was something Dr. Agasa wanted to discuss. He sat up straighter and got slightly tense.

Dr. Agasa looked Conan in the eye and started to voice his thoughts.

"Shinichi, I think you should tell Ran the truth. About the poison I mean. But do it as Conan."

Conan stared at him, speechless for a moment. Once he got his voice back, he frowned.

"I thought you said that telling her would put her in danger. Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Conan watched Dr. Agasa closely, waiting for an answer.

"Yes, but once I thought it through; I realized that once you were returned to normal, she would be in danger anyways. But if you tell her as Conan, at least she might not be as mad as she would be if she found out by mistake. And it would show her that you trust her, which may be useful later…" with the last statement Dr. Agasa gave Shinichi a small wink. It was no secret to him how the two felt about each other.

Conan intertwined his fingers and rested his chin on his two hands. He thought about what Dr. Agasa had said, and had to admit that it made sense. He was still nervous though. He had still lied to Ran all this time, what if she didn't forgive him. He sat there for a long time, going over his two choices and the results of each. Dr. Agasa went back to his computer to make sure for the hundredth time that there was no mistake in the antidote.

After about half an hour of only the sound of clicking from Dr. Agasa's keyboard, Conan finally made up his mind. He looked up at Dr. Agasa and removed his chin from his hands. Dr. Agasa, sensing movement from Conan, quickly turned around and gave him a kind look.

"So, what are you going to do? It is your choice, so make sure you truly believe in it."

Conan gave Dr. Agasa a small smile. He stood up from the couch he had been sitting on and walked up to the old man.

"I'm going to tell her. She had a right to know, and I can prove to her that I really do trust her." Conan rubbed the back of his hair absent-mindedly.

Dr. Agasa gave a small nod and a smile. "You better get back to Ran's house. It's almost five."

Conan jumped when he heard what time it was and started running for the door. He yelled sayonara to Dr. Agasa while he put his shoes on and then quickly ran out the door.

As he was running home one question ran thorough his mind over and over.

"How in the world am I going to tell her!"

MD: And there is the fourth chapter of my fic!

Conan: Finally. I can't believe it took you a week to come up with that.

MD: Hey hey! I always plan it out in my mind during school and stuff, then, over the weekend, I type it up. It comes really easy if I've given it a good amount of time to really think it over.

Conan: I guess that's not a horrible excuse. But should you really be thinking about this story at school?

MD: No, but I don't think anyones complainin bout it, since it helps me chaps come out faster.

Conan: Whatever, enough pointless chit-chat. Let's get these review responses over with.

MD: Yay! Review responses! Wheeeeeeee

Conan: sigh just respond already.

MD: Okay okay, here we go.

cowgirl: I hope this is soon enough. I tried to type it quick without it being too bad. Thanks for reviewing so quickly after I updated!

Tiffany K.: Wow. I didn't think that you would find my pen name so fast. Shoot! You better not tell anyone my secret! I'm glad you enjoyed my story even though you've never read Detective Conan.

Fyliwion: Thank you. I was trying to do a cliffy, but I wasn't sure if it was very good. I'm glad that it wasn't a painful one though. That one in your manga sounds like murder. Thanks for reviewing!

Meitantei Mystery: I'm glad that you liked my first two chapter's idea. I thought it would be interesting. I hope that you continue to enjoy my writing. Thanks for taking the time to review!

Ayaia of the Moon: dazed such…a…long…review… Thank you so much. I try to make my story reader friendly (haha is that what you would call it?) It means a lot to me that you seemed to like my story so much. Thank you so much for writing such a long and very helpful review. It was greatly appreciated!

Googlehead: Hmmmm. That's a very interesting idea. gives Conan a very evil grin (Conan: gulp) Thanks for reviewing! I hope that you enjoy the rest of my story!

MD: whew! That was tons of fun!

Conan: Are you going to act like this every chapter! Never mind, forget I asked.

MD: By the way, I am going to try to put some Jap. in my story, even though so far it is like practically none. I am very very new to this. So if you have any advice I would love to hear it!

Conan: What about the honorifics?

MD: I'm still not used to those. I'm trying to figure them all out, but it is very confusing. If you have any advice on that, I would be beyond thrilled to hear it!

Conan: I think that's enough for this chapter.

MD: Yeah, I guess your right. Please review; we love advice and constructive criticism! Ttfn!

Conan: Ta ta for now!
