Summary: After living in America for a year, Kazuha and Heiji are going to move back to Japan. But their daughter's reasoning is funny…

"Hikaru, Hikari," Kazuha called to her children, "come over here!"

Heiji and Kazuha were sitting at the table, waiting to tell their children some important information.

The twin five year olds bounced into the room, sitting in the two chairs across from their parents at the table. Both had green eyes, and black hair. Hikaru's personality was more like his father's, while his sister's was more like their mother's. The two sat impatiently, waiting for their parents to speak so they could go back playing.

Heiji cleared his throat, to get everyone's attention, "We are going-", he was cut off by the twins shouting out what they thought was going on.

"I get a sister?"

"We get to learn Kendo?" Kazuha glared at Heiji for this comment, he brushed it off.

"A vacation!"

"We can get a puppy?"

This went on for another minute, until they noticed that their father was glaring at them with 'Be quiet now or I'll never read you another bedtime story again' look. They instantly fell silent, after all, they still had to figure out the mystery why their mother kept smothering her laughter when they shoved the book 'The Exploits of Arsene Lupin' for him to read. Of course, eventually, they ended up with Miss Marple, even if Heiji wanted to read Ellery Queen, but that's not the point.

Heiji shot another glare at the twins and continued, "We are going to move back to Japan."

A pause. Then, "Where's Japan?"

Heiji fell out of his chair, bringing it down with him. Kazuha spoke.

"Heiji, don't ruin the furniture, because we aren't going to be able to replace it." She glared at him before turning to Hikaru, "Well, Hikaru-chan, Japan is where the two of you were born, your father and I grew up there…"

While Kazuha and Heiji explained to their son what they would find in Japan, their daughter consulted the huge world map on the wall. Her eyes grew big, and she suddenly came running back.

"Kaa-san, Tou-san, we can't move back to Japan. If we do, we'll die!"

Her parents stared at their daughter. Where had she gotten that idea?

Hikari grabbed her father's hand and dragged him to the map. Her brother and sister followed.

"See!" Hikari pointed to the small island nation of Japan. "If we go to Japan, we'll all sink into the ocean and die, because the land will kink into the water when we step on it because we're so big!" She paused to fill her lungs with oxygen, "So we can't move!"

Once understanding their child's logic, Kazuha and Heiji laughed. A nearly hysterical Hikari and a bewildered Hikaru stared at them.

"See Hikari", Kazuha showed her daughter. "We're in Japan and we haven't sunk into the ocean."

"Oi, Kazuha, who's picking us up?" Heiji scanned the crowd for people he knew.

"I don't know. Aoko-chan and your parents said they might come. But then my dad said something about coming."

"Oh", Heiji sweatdropped, "I asked Kudo to come to pick us up though."

"Look!" Hikaru pointed out a man with doves perched all over him. With him was a small crowd of people, waiting for someone.

"Hey isn't that nee-chan and Conan?"

And it was. Hikari being afraid of so many strangers at once, hid behind her mother's legs. To Heiji and Kaito's dismay, it was Kaito's son, Kashin who first stepped up to Hikari and introduced himself.

"I'm Kuroba Kashin, what's your name?"

Hikari looked up to her mother who nodded her head. She came forward, eyes downcast, "I'm Hattori Hikari."

"Hey! You have green eyes!"

Hikari shrunk back.

"Most people have brown eyes, but I have blue eyes! You're the first person I've seen with green eyes." He smiled, "You know, they look pretty."

"Really?"

All females were going 'sqee!', while Shinichi smirked, and Hikari's grandfathers smiled. But Hattori Heiji and Kuroba Kaito, were freaked out.

"Hey, here." And Kashin seemingly pulled a rose out of nowhere. It was a white rose, just beginning to bloom, and he handed it over to Hikari.

"Thank you."

"Hey!" Hikaru spoke, "Get away from my sister!" And he proceeded to chase Kashin, failing miserably, to catch the older boy.

Heiji and Kaito, meanwhile, were on their knees, sighing with relief.

A/N: When I was about five years old, my parents told me that we were going to move to S. Korea. I looked at the globe and was worried that if we did go to Korea, the land would sink.

My mom never figured that I thought this way until 10-11 years later. We never did move to Korea though.
