"Speech"
'Thought'
Kogorou took an uneasy sip of his coffee while tapping the table with his free hand. He looked up into his wife's confused expression and swallowed. "You knew about this?" he asked.
"Knew? How could you not notice? Somewhere in life, you've failed your daughter, detective," Eri replied.
"But she seemed so nice together with that high school brat." It took the unsettling father a few moments before he realized that he had just accepted the boy he was suppose to hate most as his future son in law. "I mean…" he bursted in.
"Don't you ever listen to her?" Eri cut in, "She's always telling people that she don't like him in that sort of way."
"Boy, look at this case," a man nudged his friend at a different table as he lifted his paper to give his accompany a better site, "Can you believe that an innocent looking girl like that could commit a murder?" he sighed.
A few bold typed words caught the attention of the old detective. It wrote, "Homosexuality may be hereditary." He narrowed his eyes and stretched his neck out to read the fine print. He could just barely make out the letters from where he sat but it was clear enough to read.
'Scientists recently developed a theory that a child that grows up to be a homosexual is usually influenced by their parents. From this, a theory was developed that perhaps there is a homosexual gene. Early signs of homosexuality in a child could be seen even before the child is consciously making decisions. When a small….'
The man lowered the paper back down, making Kogorou snap back into reality. A sudden shock bolted through his head as his eyes fell back to his wife. 'influenced by their parents…well if I'm straight then would that mean that…'
Eri looked up after taking a long sip of her drink. "What?" she said confused at her husband's look.

Agasa Household
"Hey Haibara, if this was true then would that mean that old man Mouri or…" Conan asked.
"That's stupid," Ai replied before the tiny boy could finish, "First of all, you can't code emotional responses let alone sexual preference upon an individual's gene."
"I've decided!" Conan shouted.
"You've decided on what?" Ai looked up from her magazine.
"I'm going to Shizuoka tomorrow and check out this 'date' of hers" he replied.
"Well that was random, and that's not really mature of you now is it?"
"But…"
"Kudou-kun!"
"Yea yea, I should respect her privacy and give her space and all the rest, I know I know. But I just can't help it."
The sun has complete set and outside was dark. Conan looked out from the large window of the professor's home.
'Ran's gay…who would have thought…maybe I should just accept it. Maybe I should just live life normally like nothing ever happened. Tomorrow's her date, and tonight, she's preparing for it at Sonoko's house.'
"And who knows what kind of things they're doing," A voice sounded behind him that sent shudders into the small boy's back as he turned to face the expected poker face. "Two sexually active girls, alone at such a large mansion for an entire night in the same room. As the two talk throughout the night, the temperature of that small room that confines them rise in temperature released by their bodies. Heat traps the mind and slowly but surely, their temptations grow until finally…"
"Shut up! I maybe reduced to 3feet tall but I still got the 17year old mind of a teenage guy," Shinichi blushed and shook his head.
"I was going to say that they went out and got some ice cream to cool them down but sure," Ai laughed.
"I'm sure you were,"
"Get some sleep, you'll be running all day tomorrow," Ai said.
"What do you mean?"
"Just cause I told you to not to go to Shizuoka, doesn't mean you won't does it?"
'Heh heh, she knows me pretty good' Conan shot a grin.
Sigh, "Do what you want."
Sonoko's House
"Hey Ran, you said you were going to tell the truth on April fools right?" Sonoko whispered as she turned on her bed to face her friend, folding her arm underneath her head as a pillow.
"Yea," Ran replied glancing to the side.
"That's the day after tomorrow right?" Sonko continued.
"Yea,"
"How do you plan to tell them?"
"They'll tell each other when the time comes."
"Huh?"
"Just leave it to me, when the climax comes, it will make them jump," Ran gave a wink.
"I see…" Sonoko lowered her eyelids halfway down with an "I probably don't want to know," expression on her face. 'What have I gotten myself into,' she thought to her self.

Morning came. Ran raised her arms in a long stretch as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Let's see, the date isn't until the afternoon so that gives me the morning to prepare. I'll have to get my hair done and some new clothe. It's gotta be something…not me so that Hattori-kun can't recognize but at the same time, something not overly stimulating.
"And so, it begins," she got off her bed with a large grin written across her face.

Light tickled the eyelids of the young Osaka girl. A giggle escaped her as she thought of how the day may progress. Thinking back on the day the young teen came up to her and "asked her out" she knew this day would be a memorable day.
"And so it begins," she got off her bed with a large grin written across her face.

Bags formed underneath the two detectives' eyes as they managed to raise them selves from underneath the heavy sheets. They have had plenty of sleepless nights but never one so bothersome. With a tired yawn, they looked about the room. The curtains blocked the rays of the morning light but the room was still dimly lit. With their arms, they grasped the curtains and peeped out side.
"Crud, it's morning," both of them said, "Should I follow her? Maybe I should just let it be…(Sweat drop)…I think I'll follow."
"And so it begins," The two of them gave an exhausted sigh as they groaned.

Morning passed by quickly for the girls. Make up, hair cut, style change, hair dying, for the girls, just the hair alone took them a good 3-4hours. The guys on the other hand, their hours crawled by with the speed of a snail. How many times has Conan paced about that living room, all the while telling himself that he shouldn't then denying that conscience every time. How many times has Heiji caculated the amount of seconds left before the hour of his departure. "8658…8657…8656…865…. Crap I lost count. Let's see still 2 hours and33 minutes or so to noon therefore, I'll multiply that by 60 and…."
"Screw this, I'm going to go see what Ran/Kazuha is doing," the two bursted.
Ai looked up upon hearing the slamming of the door and shook her head slowly before turning back to her computer screen.
Conan walked slowly down the street with his hands in his pocket. 'Where would Ran be to prepare for her date. Wait a minute, she's been saying how she wants to try that new salon at Beika market place for a while, maybe she'll be there. It's worth a try,'
Beika market place
'This must be the place, Short cut huh,' he looked up then looked inside, 'Hmm, I don't see her.' Conan stretched his neck as he opened the door and walked in. The smell of structure gel and shampoo immediately attacked his nose, making him sneeze. 'Where's Ran, I don't see her anywhere.' A girl came towards him, her red hair, striped with blond, bundled in the back with a long pin and one of the shortest skirt his ever seen.
"Hey there," she said.
"Hi," Conan blushed, trying to keep his eyes on the top half of her, 'wow she's h…' "R…R..RAN!" he gasped.
"What are you doing here Conan-kun?" Ran smiled.
"Uh…I…um…I was near by and was just looking around," he forced out a laugh.
"I see, well, since you're here, what do you think?" Ran said and stood up and posed.
"I think they're nice," he whispered almost mesmerized.
"What was that?"
"I mean, I think you look nice!" Conan jumped.
"Hey what's the brat doing here?" the call of the blond haired girl came from behind. Conan turned. "My dad knows the owner of this place so we're getting this for free, isn't that awesome!" she squealed.
"It's wonderful but isn't it bad to not give anything?"
"Don't worry about it Ran, they may charge over 100bucks but in reality, they only use about 10$ worth of stuff," she whispered and gave a wink.
"I see…"
"Hey Sonoko-neechan," Conan called.
"Hmm?"
"What's Ran-neechan's date like?"
With the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a small nod from Ran and smiled. "All's that I know is that she's very pretty, has slight kansai accent and…yea, that's about it."
"I see…" Conan had twitched slightly upon hearing the word "she" to which Ran giggled satisfyingly.
"Ran, we gotta catch the bullet train to Shizuoka or we won't make it there in time," Sonoko announced.
"What, but there's still a few hours!"
"I know, but according to the schedule this is the last train that would arrive there in time."
"Alright, Conan-kun, we got to get going. Don't stay out too late alright?" Ran patted him on his head.
Conan nodded and watched her exit. As the two approached the door, Ran embraced Sonoko's arm and whispered, just loud enough for Conan to hear, "I hope she's as good as you were last night."
Sonoko turned questioningly, "Did you say something?"
"Nothing," Ran replied and glanced back at the boy with an expression on his face to her that was just simply priceless.
