Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan, cuz if I did my taxes would be really high.
The next day, Ran woke up and heard the doorbell. It was Sonoko, with a few shopping bags already.
"Ran, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" she said exuberantly.
"Um, okay, let me go get my purse."
"All right."
Ran and Sonoko proceeded to one of Sonoko's favorite stores. All the employees knew her quite well, and were falling over her left and right. After about 13 stores in which the same thing happened, they walked by a window display. Ran immediately stopped. The dress was amazing! She thought of herself in it, and an image of Shinichi kissing her flashed through her mind. She blushed, and Sonoko pulled her into the shop.
"That dress would look really awesome on you, Ran," said Sonoko. It was light blue and sparkled in the sun. Layers of tulle created a long skirt and it tied in back with a silky ribbon.
"Really? I like it too..."
"Oi! We need some help!" Sonoko called. An employee came rushing up to help the daughter of Mr. Suzuki."Can you, like, get that dress in the window?"
"Yes, of course." She brought it over and handed it to Sonoko, who passed it to Ran.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Try it on!" Sonoko said.
"Well, I don't know..."
"Oh, come on!" Sonoko pushed Ran into the dressing room. When she came out, the dress looked stunning.
"Ran, that looks great!"
"But it..."
"But what?"
"How do you think I could afford this?" Ran whispered. The saleslady glared as if she had heard.
"Who says you have to? It so happens that I have Dad's gold card!" In a smaller voice, she added, "Darn those limits...I can't believe I'm borrowing a credit card..."
"No way, Sonoko! I can't let you do that!"
"Duh. You're only like my best friend ever. So just give the nice lady the dress!"
Ran set the dress on the counter, and Sonoko whipped out the credit card. I mean, she really whipped it out. She was very used to shopping.
"Oh, Sonoko, I-" Ran said as they were leaving.
"No need to thank me, Ran. Because we're only getting started. You know what comes next?"
"Uhhh...no?"
"Shoes, silly! Let's go!" And Sonoko dragged Ran off to another store.
About five hours later, Ran and Sonoko walked down the sidewalk with their spoils, meaning that Ran held her dress and shoes, and Sonoko held nothing. Sonoko was holding nothing because 10 men walked behind her with boxes and bags filled with clothes and shoes.
"Well, I didn't really find a lot of stuff today, but..."
Ran looked at Sonoko, about to face fall because of the straining men with arms full of clothes behind her.
"Uhhh..." was all Ran could say.
"Well, bye!" Sonoko said.
"Bye, Sonoko. Thanks for helping me out."
"Any time!"
Ran walked upstairs to put her dress away. Her dad was watching Yoko Okino's Spring TV special, and cheering. "Go, go, Yokoooooooooooooo!" Ran fixed dinner and pulled her dad away from TV for about 5 seconds before he couldn't stand being away from Yoko any longer. Ran simply cleaned up once again, and went to bed.
