Well here goes nothing! The final chapter! Everything gets resolved! Happy ending time... kinda. I hope you enjoy it, this chapter was really hard to write because it only worked well in third person... so for this chapter the '...'s are just going to be for breaking up scenes instead of POVs...

Thanks for everyone who's read this far, especially those who've reviewed. And special thanks to Syrus07 because you really helped a lot thought I'm still not sure how it turned into what it did.

please review!

-._.-._.-

It's been one year since then, and the four have become close friends -though they may argue otherwise- as they went about living what used to be each others lives.

"Ya really gave me a lot a' trouble last heist, Shinichi," Hakuba remarked glaring at Shinichi. He spoke with his now signature mix between a British accent and Osaka-ben

Shinichi smirked back at him, which was never a good sign, as he replied, "It's not my fault that you were stupid enough to fall into that trap, right Kaito?"

Kaito and Shinichi had begun taking turns being Kaitou Kid ever since they heard that they weren't likely to ever change back to their original selves, if only to make alibis for each other and aggravate the black organization.

Kaito gave a confident smile and calmly replied, "I'd really thought he'd be able to avoid such a simple trap... maybe he's just stupid. The chibi tantei managed to avoid it."

"Would ya stop callin' me that Kaito? !" Heiji replied, outraged that everyone picked on him for being so small when he was the same age as everyone else. He managed to calm himself down a bit before adding, "'sides, I might not be a chibi fer long."

"Oh, that's right, ever since Hakuba became Haibara's assistant she's making amazing progress on the antidote," Shinichi said, thinking back on the conversation he'd had with her over the phone the night before, "She even mentioned that she may have perfected the permanent antidote the other day..."

"Yeah, I'm gonna be testing it tonight. As far as Neechan knows I'm going over there because the Shonen Tantei Dan is having a sleepover at Agasa's house the whole weekend... I had ta promise her that I wouldn't do 'nethin' ta Ayumi-chan and Haibara during the night since I'm a teenager on the inside and they're just kids," Heiji sighed.

"Yer the only person I know that would be able to make Conan look like a pervert," Hakuba said with a snicker, "Ran probably only thinks that way because she's seen the face ya make whenever Kazuha gets done rubbing your face into her chest."

"Eh? She does that? I'm jealous," Kaito remarked, "maybe if I'd become Conan instead then Aoko would do that... well she is a bit lacking in that area so it probably wouldn't be as soft... plus then I would be able to disguise myself as a child! I'd be the perfect phantom thief."

"You're more than good enough as it is," Hakuba reminded him, sighing at his own failure.

"I'm glad you agree Tabtei-san."

"Hattori... I'm going to have to go with you right? If the antidote works I'll..." Shinichi asked, deciding it was better to steer the conversation away from his and Kaito's night job before a passerby happens to overhear anything.

Heiji nodded in confirmation, "Yeah, it's probably better if you're the one to tell her..."

Shinichi sighed, "It's going to feel so weird telling her now... after I've gone so long trying so hard to make sure that she wouldn't find out..."

"Dun worry, I'm sure she won't be mad at ya er 'nethin'," Heiji reassured Shinichi giving him a smile that Kazuha had dubbed 'the cutest smile in the world' months prior, but in this situation it looked uncertain despite his confident words.

...

As expected the antidote that Haibara made worked. Heiji -now 'Shinichi' rather than 'Conan'- had stayed over at the professors house for full day to make sure that it wouldn't wear off after just twenty-four hours, but only time would tell if it was truly permanent and whether or not it had any unexpected side effects.

Shinichi had stayed with him, knowing that even though Ran knew about the body swapping it would still be strange if Heiji disappeared as 'Conan' and reappeared as 'Shinichi' when Conan was supposedly in Shinichi's body, because even after finding out that he wouldn't be able to ever return to his own body Shinichi had still been determined not to tell Ran that he'd been Conan all along- at least originally.

Naturally, Shinichi intended to be the one to tell her the truth; it was his mess, cleaning it up is his responsibility.

And so here he was, standing in front of Ran alongside the Heiji that had grown from being 'Conan' to Being 'Shinichi' a day prior. It would be an understatement to say that he was nervous.

"Shinichi... and Conan-kun...?" Ran said hesitantly as she stared at the two similar looking boys, she could sense that there was something wrong.

Heiji sighed, "Um... sorta."

Shinichi gave an awkward smile as if to say 'everything's fine, this is how it's supposed to be' but the smile only lasted a brief moment before he began, "Ran... there's something I have to tell you..."

He paused, he'd already thought about everything he wanted to say before hand but now those words were failing him, in his mind the words started to sound superficial. Ran seemed to understand that whatever he was trying to say was going to be difficult for him, so she waited for him to speak on his own without trying to pressure him.

"I really should have told you a long time ago..."

...

"Eh? So Conan-kun was Kudo-kun de whole time?" Kazuha exclaimed.

"That's right," Heiji confirmed, he'd told her himself because she was going to have to be involved in this.

There was no way he could keep her from noticing that he'd had such a huge growth spurt in such a short period of time so the only option had been to tell her the truth about Shinichi, though he may have neglected to mention that they were still fighting against an evil organization.

She laughed, "That explains so much actually."

"Huh? Wha'dya mean by that?" He asked, even though he already had a pretty good idea of what she meant.

She didn't bother to answer that, "So... yer gonna be 'Kudo-kun' from now on? Ya ain't gonna go back ta bein' 'Conan-kun', right?"

"Yeah..."

"It's a shame really, ya were super cute when ya were Conan-kun," Kazuha said with a smile.

Heiji grinned back at her, "Well, sorry for not bein' cute!"

"That's not what I meant, ya know!"

"Then what did ya mean ya ahou?"

The two argued just like they always had for some time before they finally kissed each other like some kind of crazy, twisted, but still extremely cheesy story book ending.

...

"It's been a year... hasn't it?" Aoko asked.

"Yeah..." Kaito replied, "Still kind of hard to believe that all of this actually happened."

"I know, there are days that I wake up thinking that it was all some kind of super long crazy dream," She smiles at him.

He returns the smile, "But if all of that unbelievable stuff was a dream that means that I'm really just a boring Half-British detective guy that suddenly decided to become a magician and started dating the prettiest girl in school."

Aoko blushes, looking to flustered to do much but she still managed to reply, "D-don't say stuff like that! BaKaito!"

"Even if it's true?" Kaito said as his smile turned into his usual smirk.

Upon seeing the smirk -and knowing full well what usually comes after it- Aoko quickly devoted both of her hands to making sure that her skirt stayed down as the blush on her face grew even redder than before, "It's not true, there are a bunch of prettier girls in our school... like Akako-san or- mmpphg! !"

As Aoko denied what Kaito though to be reality Kaito rushed up and did what he does best, steal -this time his target was a kiss. When he finally pulled away he flashed a broad smile at the dazed girl.

"Sorry for not sending a heist notice for that kiss," He laughed.

...

Haibara sat in her lab alone, playing with chemicals that normally no one would ever give to someone that had the appearance of an eight year old, not that she had anything better to do now that she'd completed the antidote.

"Yer going ta take the antidote too, aren't ya?" Hakuba asked.

Haibara looked up at him with an indifferent expression, "I wasn't planning on it, If I changed back it'd only be easier for people from that organization to recognize me and it's not as though I have a life to return to."

He looked away, his expression seemed careless as he replied, "That's too bad... I was hoping that you and I could maybe go out... or something."

"You..." The chibi mad scientist couldn't think of anything to say so she just trailed off awkwardly.

Hakuba smiled as though he'd just solved a particularly difficult puzzle, "If anyone asks you're my girlfriend from England."

"I'm only half British you know," Haibara retorted giving him a 'that doesn't fix the problem' glare.

He did know, in fact he'd goggled her to find out as much about her as possible the night that her learned of her true identity but that was hardly relevant at the moment.

"So am I... well I used ta be at least."

Haibara sighed, she was tempted to say something about all detectives being persistent but clearly thought better of it, "Fine."

Hakuba watched as the scientist grabbed something and began to walk away. He understood what was going on but felt the need to ask anyway, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to take the antidote, so you better go get me some nice clothes so I'll have something to wear after I change back," She replied coldly but there was a hint of affection in her tone.

"Alright," He replied, "So what are your sizes?"

Haibara let out an amused laugh, "As if you don't already know."

...

And they all lived happily ever after...

...probably.
