When Ran came in the next day, she smiled at the sight before her. Shinichi was leaning against the backboard of the bed sleeping, and on his lap was Conan who was also sleeping and a book which she assumed fell when Shinichi dozed off.

She went over to him and gently squeezed his shoulders. He grunted and then opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Ran. She smiled at him and he smiled back. They assumed that Conan would be asleep for a while because of all the medication, so they decided to go downstairs to get some breakfast.

About a half hour later, Conan's eyes slowly opened. He looked up and saw two figures. He couldn't identify them because his vision was a little blurry, but they appeared to be his parents.

He rubbed his eyes so he could see more clearly. At first glance, they did seem to be his parents. They looked to be about the same age and everything. But upon further inspection, he realized something was different. They were small differences, but they were definantly there.

The man's hair was the same as Shinichi's, but it was just a tint lighter. His hair was also a lot less tidy than his dad kept his. The woman's hair was the same shade as his mom's, but at the top it looked as if someone had just ran their hand through it and ruffled it up.

Conan finally decided to speak, "Excuse me but, who are you?"

The man broke away from his thoughts and answered.

"I am Kuroba Kaitou and this is my wife, Kuroba Aoko," he said, gesturing towards the woman.

"What's your name, little boy," Aoko asked politely.

"My name is Kudou Conan. But wait, isn't Kuroba Kaitou a famous magician or something," Conan asked.

"Indeed I am. And isn't Kudou a famous detective?" then he added, "or something?"

"Yeah, I guess my daddy is famous."

"Yeah, I know Kudou well," Kaitou said.

"You know magic isn't real, right," Conan asked.

"Well if it isn't, how do I do this," Kaitou asked. Then he made a rose appear seemingly out of nowhere. Aoko clapped.

"The rose was in your bag. You pulled a string with your left hand while we were focused on your right where you said it would appear. The evidence is that small piece string in your hand now," Conan said smiling. He felt like a real detective!

It was then when Shinichi and Ran walked in, and looked startled when they saw that they had visitors. The two couples turned around. Shinichi and Kaitou stared at each other and Ran and Aoko did the same. After a while of silent stares, they introduced themselves. Eventually, Aoko went back to their room and brought back a little girl. The girl was adorable. She had chocolate brown hair and shimmering chocolate brown eyes. She wore a flower shirt and a green skirt.

"Hi, I'm Makuya. Nice to meet you gu-," she started. But then her glance fell onto Conan who was silently observing her.

After some chatting between six they decided to go get some brunch. But by the time they got to the top floor which served brunch, it was already a little past twelve so they headed back down in the elevator to the very bottom floor in which lunch was served. They booked a table together and after ordering they began to chat about occupations.

"Kuroba," Shinichi said in monotone.

"Kudou," Kaitou said in the same tone.

"No further introduction necessary," Shinichi said

"Agreed," Kaitou said.

"Well, I'm mostly a housewife, but I teach karate part time," Ran stated.

"I'm a housewife also, but I do work part time as a magicians assistant," Aoko told her.

"Woah, that's so cool. Did Kaitou teach you any of his tricks," Ran asked.

"Yeah, he taught me how to make a rose appear."

"Wow, really? Can I see," Ran asked excitedly.

"Sure," Aoko agreed. She was happy to have an audience to see the trick done by her. She thought she had perfected it. But to her terror, she was wrong.

Well, something DID appear. But not what she had been looking for. In her hand was a rose, but with many or the petals missing and the remaining ones scratched up. The stem was scratched up as well.

Kaitou, who had been watching this in amusement laughed. Aoko glared at him.

"What did I do wrong," Aoko whined.

Kaitou let another chuckle escape his throat. He took her wrist and pulled up the sleeve so you could see her bracelet. Under the bracelet was a couple of the scarlet red flower petals which had been missing from the rose. Aoko saw Kaitou smile, and then he stopped. He put on his serious face, poker face he called it, and said in a very serious tone of voice, "Aoko, you could very well be the Houdini of this century."

He then dropped his poker face and bursted out into a laughing fit, earning a few strange looks from the people around them. Aoko had learned to deal with Kaitou's somewhat obnoxious attitude years ago. Her fingers fumbled through her purse and slowly pulled out what she had been looking for. A picture of a goldfish. After Kaitou looked at the picture, he stopped, and hid his eyes with his hands.

Shinichi and Ran gave Aoko a questioning stare. She smiled and put the picture in her purse before she said, "He's afraid of fish, so I use it against him. When I'm really angry, like the time he accidently left Makuya at the park, I forced him to watch Finding Nemo three times with me." She let out an evil laugh.

Shinichi and Ran's eyes turned into dots and they both murmured at the same time, "I see."

Kaitou, with his hands over his eyes still, shakily asked, "Did you put it away?"

"Yes, dear," Aoko replied sweetly. Then her voice changed when Kaitou took his hands away from his eyes and gave her eye contact. "But if you ever do something like that again, I'm taking out the Nemo plushie."

"Not the plushie," Kaitou cried. "For all that is good and wonderful please not the plushie!"

"Be a good boy and maybe I won't have to do that," she replied innocently.

The rest of the lunch went on relatively normal, except that everytime Kaitou made a smart remark Aoko took out a clownfish stuffed animal from her purse. But all and all, they had a lot in common and by the time they got back to Conan's hospital room, they already had plans for their next get-together. They decided to go to Magician's Fiasco. Of course it was Kaitou's idea, but the others agreed because there was a play thing for the kids so everyone could be happy. But for the time being they headed home...

At the Kudou House (Conan's bedroom)

"Hey, Conan. Hey Kaigi. Your mom told me to bring up some snacks, Conan," Shinichi exclaimed happily.

He was really happy that Hattori came over and brought his son, Kaigi. Conan had been inside reading a lot. When I say a lot, I mean A LOT. He read more than Shinichi had when he was Conan. And that's saying something. So he was happy to see him hanging out with friends again. Though he wished Conan would have a few more guy friends. Conan is so popular with the ladies, he has his own fanclub. Impressive for a six-year-old, huh? But Conan and Kaigi were just born a few months apart, and were pretty good friends.

Shinichi put down a bowl of chips next to a table with a checker board that they were playing with.

"Thanks Dad," Conan said not taking his attention off the board.

Shinichi smiled and left.

...Downstairs...

"Hey, Hattori," Shinichi said.

Heiji looked up. "What is it," Heiji asked.

"What do you think Kazuha and Ran are doing? They've been up in the master bedroom sense you guys have got here and I'm getting hungry."

"Yeah, I am too." And on cue Heiji's stomach growled.

"Eh, lets give them another hour or so til we go get them. Wanna take the kids to the park," Shinichi asked.

"Yeah, sure," Heiji replied.

Shinichi left Ran a note saying where they were going and were on their way. In the car, Conan was trying to read a book, but Kaigi kept on poking him.

Finally Conan snapped. "What do you want Kaigi?!"

"...I don't know. You're not fun anymore. Why don't you stop reading and play videogames. I brought an extra gameboy," Kaigi replied.

"No."

"But I have a kendo game and it's really fun!"

"Please! Soccer is better then kendo any day."

"Not uh, Kendo!"

"SOCCER!"

"KENDO!"

"SOCCER!"

"KENDO!"

"Daddy, isn't soccer way better then kendo? All you do is hit people with sticks."

Shinichi faced Hattori and gave him a cocky grin. "He's got a point there you know," Shinichi said still grinning.

Hattori cursed under his breath and then in a instant he smiled. "Were here!"

Everybody got out of the car and Conan ran to the soccer field with Kaigi right on his heels. Heiji and Shinichi followed behind slowly and by the time they got there the two kids were already bickering. The two adults didn't here the beginning of the arguement but they recognized it right away for they themselves had had it many times before.

"QUEEN," Kaigi screeched.

"Doyle," Conan said in a monotone voice.

"QUEEN," Kaigi screeched again.

Conan didn't reply but just kept reading his book.

After about an hour, they packed up and went home.

When they arrived in the driveway, they noticed the kids acting strange. It was like they avoided going through the door. Shinichi and Heiji entered at the same time and a bucket of water fell on their heads. They saw Ran, Kazuha, and the kids laughing. Then, it clicked. The girls were furious at Heiji and Shinichi for almost getting themselves killed the other week, but that's another story. They cursed under their breath and left to find a good bar.

They got there and to make a very, very long story short, they got very, very drunk.

They got a taxi to take them home and when they got there they had difficulties. They kept ramming into the door because they thought it was a robber. Finally, Shinichi used a soccer ball and made a big round hole in the door. He grinned at Heiji and they went inside only to find two angry women.

"Shinichi, why in the world did you make that hole in the door," Ran shrieked.

"My name is Heiji," Shinichi yelled.

"Huh?"

"Look Neechoon, I married to Kazuha so stop flirting with me," Shinichi said.

Silence.

"Kazuha," Ran started.

"Yeah," Kazuha replied.

"I think their drunk."

"Yeah."

"I'm Kudou Shinichi, detective of the East Dakota," Heiji shouted.

Then there was a knock on the door. Ran answered it and saw it was Inspector Meguire. Meguire sat down with the other four and started talking.

"Kudou-kun, Hattori-kun, there has been a murder that we could use your help on. The problem is that we can't find any suspects. Everyone has alibis."

"Then Santa Claus did it," Heiji said.

"Not uh, it's obvious Neechan did it," Shinichi said.

"What, I was here the whole time, baka," Ran said.

"I get what your saying, Hattori. This Ran was really a hologram and Ran killed the dude cuz he stole her cookies," Heiji said.

Meguire-keibu kept quiet.

Ran and Kazuha explained the situation and Meigure left.

Now for the hard part, the girls had to wrestle the guys into their beds.

This should be interesting...
