MD: Hey there peoples! MD is back, and better than ever. Thank Ra for rain! Most of my games were canceled (I play softball). And we just had festival (we got a superior by way which is the highest you can get). So now orchestra is less stressful and I can go back to having the violin being my stress reliever.
Conan: Wow, you look a lot better. I mean, you still look a bit tired, but the bags under your eyes aren't as noticeable.
MD: Thanks Conan, I think. Anyways, here is my weekly update. And since it is spring break, I will try to make next week's chapter long. Of course, I will be writing an essay so there will be only so much I can do.
Conan: Do you ever get a real break?
MD: Well, yesterday morning I got to watch Yugioh. So that was really nice. I just love little Yugi! He makes my heart melt!
Conan: That's great, but I really don't think anyone wants to hear about that right now.
MD: Oh alright. You just say the disclaimer Conan and we can get this chapter started.
Conan: Fine. MD does not own any of the Detective Conan characters. She does own a really cool Harry Potter music book for her violin and flute though. And if she uses any ideas from someone else, she is deeply sorry as it was unintentional.
MD: Well, now that that's out of the way, lets start this thing!
One Fixed Problem Always Leads to Another
Ran and Conan slowly walked to the park together. It was a bright and sunny day with almost no clouds in the sky. The ones you could see were bright white and looked like giant, floating cotton balls. (MD: Don't you just love those clouds? They're so pretty! Conan: yeah yeah yeah. That's great and all, but we want to read the story!)
When Ran and Conan got to the park, they both walked over to a bench and just sat there, enjoying the sunshine. Conan watched the children playing on the jungle gym. He frowned as he saw a few kids that looked like they were his age. "I can't wait for Dr. Agasa to finish that antidote. This body is driving me crazy."
After a few minutes of enjoying the gorgeous weather, Ran sighed and looked over to her right. She saw a man selling ice cream to a bunch of little kids. She wiped her brow and realized that it was starting to feel really hot since they were sitting in the sun. She looked one more time at the ice cream cart and got up.
"I'm going to go get some ice cream, okay Conan?" Conan looked up at her and smiled. He nodded his head and pushed his glasses on his nose. He was sweating a little bit and it was making his glasses slip down his nose. (MD: I hate it when that happens. Whenever I felt like wearing my glasses during marching band practice I was afraid they would fall off! Conan: You rarely ever wear your glasses anyway, so don't complain.)
"Be right back." Ran said to Conan as she walked over to the man selling ice cream. She bought two chocolate ice creams and walked back over to Conan and handed him one.
"Thanks Ran, I don't think there is more perfect day for ice cream." Ran just smiled and sat down next to him. They both ate their ice creams in silence. After months of feeling separated, it was nice to just sit in one another's company.
Once they had finished their ice creams, they finally started to talk. Conan asked Ran how high school was going.
"So did Mr. (MD: I can't find my graphic novel with his name in it! It's that one teach who Ran talks about in one of the first episodes! The gorilla one! Conan: Your memory is pathetic. MD: sigh I know.) really get married?" Conan asked Ran, smiling. "Or was that just a white lie to test and see if your deductions were correct?"
Ran laughed and answered, "Actually, he really did get married. I needed some way to try to trap you and that just popped into my mind."
"Oh, I see. But like I asked at the time: who would marry that guy?"
"I'm not sure; all I heard was that he was getting married." They both laughed at this and started a new conversation.
"So Conan, what's elementary school like for you?" She smirked at Conan as he turned slightly red.
"It's boring!" Conan said, frowning. "I sit there and think I'm going to die if the bell doesn't ring soon enough. But I have to admit," he said with a smirk on his face, "the recess part is an improvement."
The two of them both burst out laughing. They continued to talk about random things for a few hours. After the sun had started to go down, they realized that it was defiantly time to get home. They both got off of the bench and started to walk home.
As they were walking, they heard something rustle in the bushes. At least, Conan heard something rustling in the bushes. He stopped dead in his tracks and tried to listen. He heard a few crickets but that was about it, as Ran had started to talk.
"What is it Conan? What's wrong?" Conan held up his hand to silence her and they both stood dead still, hardly daring to breathe as they listened for anything out of the ordinary. When a dog barked, they both jumped. They looked at each other and laughed.
"I thought I heard something in the bush," Conan said smiling, "but I guess it was just some sort of animal. Ran smiled back at him as they both started to walk again.
Despite what he had said, Conan listened closely for anymore strange sounds. "One can never be too careful." he thought as they walked along the sidewalk. Once they were about ten minutes from Ran's home, they both heard a rustling sound. That sound was defiantly not an animal.
Conan put himself in from of Ran defensively as they both listened desperately for their dangerous stalker. When they heard the bush rustle from behind them, they both turned around. Big mistake. This put Conan behind Ran, giving their mysterious stalker the exact chance he needed.
He jumped out at that exact moment and grabbed Conan. He had a drugged a small handkerchief and put it across Conan's nose and mouth. Conan struggled for a few seconds before the need to breath finally got to him.
The kidnapper smiled as he felt Conan go limp, but this was also the exact moment that Ran turned around. (MD: So Ran kicked him and saved Conan, allowing them to live happily ever after. The end! Conan: …. MD: Erm….shutting up.)
Ran gasped when she saw Conan in the man's arms. She couldn't get a very good look at him. He was fairly tall dressed all in black from his head to his hat. (MD: Hey! That kinda rhymes! Conan: Shut up and continue! This is getting exciting!) He smiled at Ran, showing off a row of ugly yellow teeth. (MD: ewww, icky! Conan: SHUT UP! MD: meep!)
Ran immediately became angry and stood in her famous fighting stance. She aimed a punch at his face, but the man in black barley dodged. She tried punching him again, but he held Conan up as a shield. Ran quickly tried to move her punch to the side causing the man holding Conan to laugh.
Ran growled deep in her throat. "How can I fight him when he's holding Shinichi?" she thought desperately, starting to panic slightly. She could feel sweat run down her face as she looked at the horrible man's face. She slowly lowered her eyes to Conan and felt her heart melt. His breathing was slow and his face was very pale. She needed to get him help, and fast!
After a few seconds of standing in silence, the man in black started to laugh again. He pulled out a small gadget around his belt and pressed a red button. Ran felt her heart pounding in her throat as she jumped at him to try to get Conan from the man in black. The man just jumped back, laughing harder as a truck came out from around the corner. It drove right towards them and slowed down as it passed them. Before Ran could do anything, the man jumped with Conan into the truck. The truck sped up the second the man jumped on.
Ran let out a small sound of despair before she started to chase after the truck. She ran for as long as she could, running on adrenaline alone. But there was so long even she could last. She felt her body start to weaken and she quickly came up with a brilliant idea. Before the truck could disappear from view, Ran quickly memorized the license plate and memorized every detail of the truck. She knew things as obvious as the colors, but also small things like the type of tires it used and what kind of lock was used on the back.
She let out a small sob of despair as the truck disappeared from view. Then, she turned around and ran as fast as she could back to her house. Whipping out her keys as fast as she could, Ran quickly opened the door and ran to where her father was sitting at his desk. He jumped at the sight of her and leaned forward concerned.
"Conan…he ..he's been kidnapped!" And with that, she fell down in a dead faint.
MD: Finally! I've been working on that scene in my mind for ages!
Conan: Really?
MD: Yeah! I've been walking around with my hand in my pocket holding Goku and staring at the ground. I usually thought so deeply that I would run into people and hardly notice! Whoops!
Conan: Jeez. Oh well, lets get these reviews responded to.
MD: Yes, lets! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
