AN: This will be the last of my uploading chapters every few minutes because it was all I wrote since last year! Now, I'll have to actually write instead of copying and pasting from my ancient document. OTL.
Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan. Gosho Aoyama does. I think you know that by now, right?
The day finally came. It was time for the three day vacation trip. Conan got an abrupt message from Edogawa Fumiyo, his mother, who demanded that he come visit her in America for the weekend and even sent him a "plane ticket". Convenient timing, huh? Well, Conan is about to leave for America and Ran is helping Conan pack his suitcase. "Aw, Conan-kun, I can't believe you have to leave for America this very weekend. You can't come with us to the resort..." Conan shrugged and said, "It's okay, Ran-neechan. I'll see you in three days!" They called a taxi and Conan and Ran said their farewells. Conan jumped into the taxi and the car sped off.
"Thanks, Okaa-san," Conan said, after putting on his seatbelt. The taxi driver, who was a chubby middle-aged man with a mustache, asked, confused, "O-okaa-san? Since when was I your mother?" Conan narrowed his eyes in annoyance and replied, "MOM, you can cut the act now!" The man's bewildered expression was replaced with a cheerful one and Yukiko's voice rang out, "Oh, Shin-chan, you never let me have any fun!" Conan replied, "I just don't want anything to go wrong." "Of course not, Shin-chan," Yukiko replied, "I'll get you to the resort quickly and amazingly! Is that even a word?" Yukiko giggled while Conan rolled his eyes but smiled at his mom's excitement. Yukiko said in between fits of laughter, "Yuusaku... will... be there, too... AHAHA!" Conan nodded and drifted to sleep.
At the resort, Yukiko changed out of her disguise speedily and got out of the taxi with Conan. "Now, Shin-chan," Yukiko explained, "Here's the antidote that the little girl with auburn hair gave me. She wants me to remind you that it will last for 3 days and no more or less and all that scientific stuff!" "Thanks, Mom," Conan said, eagerly as he took the pills and stainless steel mug containing the Paikal from his mom's hand. 'And thank you, Haibara,' Conan thought.
As he ran off to find a bathroom, Yukiko shouted, "I'll be waiting for you in the lobby with the others and your father! There aren't any vacationers here, since we borrowed the whole resort and hotel, for discretion of course! But there are still employees and those kind of people, so just be careful!" Conan yelled over his shoulder, "I will! Thanks!" Yukiko had a bright look on her face until Conan disappeared around the corner. She took out her phone from her purse and called somebody. "Mhm, hello, Ai-chan. ... Yes, it was properly transferred!~ ... Ah, so that antidote was permanent, but you put in some chemical stuff that will make it temporary for now? I see. ... Oh, no, it's alright, I don't think he should turn back just yet either. I mean, what with the scary organization and all. ... Great! See you next time, Ai-chan~!" Yukiko ended the call, put her phone back in her purse, and headed as fast as she could to the lobby.
Anyway, the hotel was huge, fancy, decorated, and just amazing. It took Conan forever to find a bathroom. Meanwhile, Okiya Subaru came from another entrance and turned the corner when he saw Conan running to a bathroom in front of him. Subaru stood behind the corner and watched as Conan looked both ways, as if crossing a street, and dashed into the bathroom. Subaru smiled to himself. He asked a passing employee, "Excuse me, but where is the lobby? This place is huge and there are not many vacationers." "Oh, yes," the employee replied, "It's down that hallway, past the bathroom, and if you turn left at the escalators, there you are! And there aren't any vacationers around because the Kudos have reserved it for their special guests. They are our best customers."
"Oh, thank you for your help," Subaru said, politely. "No problem! If you need anything else, just ask. Have a good time!" The employee rushed off to another location as Subaru replied, "I will," and started to head down the hallway. He stopped after one step as the bathroom door opened, and a taller version of Conan without his glasses appeared. "Kudo Shinichi," Subaru said to himself. Shinichi walked cheerfully with a skip in his step to the lobby as Subaru, who was brooding over something, followed silently.
Kudo Shinichi... was BACK! Well, at least for three days. Shinichi thought to himself, 'I seriously can't wait to see everybody! Well, Ran's dad might not like to see me. HAHA, whatever.' Shinichi turned left at the escalators and found the lobby, where everyone had arrived except for Subaru and himself. He saw Ran in a cute pink crop top, short-shorts, and flip-flops. 'Looking as cute as ever, Ran. Whoa, did I just think that? Ummm,' Shinichi thought, while blushing, 'Next person. Sonoko... yeah, looking way too dressed up as usual. Occhan is smoking, and Kisaki-san is talking to my parents and Agasa. Sera-kun, Hattori, Toyama-kun, Sonoko, and Ran are talking and having fun and stuff... Should I go in now?' He watched Ran as she engaged in cheerful conversation, but she kept looking around and appeared nervous. Sonoko noticed and teased, "Oh, Ran, you just can't wait to see Shinichi-kun, huh?" Kazuha giggled and Ran blushed and protested, "No!" Annoyed, but still blushing, Shinichi muttered, 'Sonoko...'
Shinichi decided to just march right in, but a tap on his shoulder stopped him. He turned around to see Okiya Subaru! Subaru asked, "Excuse me, but aren't you Kudo Shinichi?" "O-oh, yeah," Shinichi replied, "That's me." He remembered that although Conan had met Subaru, Kudo Shinichi hadn't. "Are you the tenant of my house, Subaru-san?" Subaru nodded and said, "I'm sure the others are waiting for your arrival. Let's go into the lobby, shall we?" "Ah, yes, we should..." Shinichi said, and entered the lobby with Subaru.
After a long chat, Ran sat down on a soft and comfy chair, but when Shinichi and Subaru appeared, in surprise, she stood up quickly. "Shinichi!? Subaru-san?" Ran said, not believing her eyes. Shinichi nodded and he and Subaru said, "Hello, everybody." Hattori said, "Kudo! There ya are!" Kazuha exclaimed, "Oh, Kudo-kun!" Sera, who had met Kudo Shinichi for the first time, walked up to him admiringly and shook his hand. She grinned from ear to ear and said excitedly, "Nice to meet the Great Detective of the East! I'm Masumi Sera, and it was super kind of you to invite me even though you've never met me before!" Shinichi nodded and said cheerfully, "Well, I know you've helped my friends out, and from the phone call at the last case*, I discerned that you are a pretty good detective yourself!' Sonoko tittered, "Yay, Ran, you can reunite with your hubby now!"
Kogoro said, annoyed, "What do you mean, wife and husband?! He's just a detective brat." Eri shook her head disapprovingly at Kogoro and said, "Anata, at least greet the boy politely!" She approached Shinichi and said, "Hello, Shinichi-kun, how have you been?" Kogoro glowered in the back as Shinichi replied, "I'm fine, thanks." He thought to himself, "Sheesh, she's still scary even when she's being nice."
Their greeting was interrupted when Ran, who had been standing near her chair in utter shock, ran to Shinichi and hugged him. Everyone was surprised as Ran yelled into his chest, "Where have you been!?" Everyone silently regarded the two as Shinichi replied brightly, "I've been trying to solve that case, haven't I said before?" Ran, oblivious to everyone staring, mumbled, "But how does a case take so long? Shinichi..." Shinichi wrapped his arms around her back and hugged her even tighter. Ran reddened and finally noticed everyone watching, especially her dad who was fuming angrily. The two lovebirds pulled back, blushing, and a brief moment of silence passed. Then, Agasa broke the quiet and said, "Well, since everyone's here, we should move our luggage to our rooms and have some fun, right?" Everyone nodded and bustled excitedly and went to their rooms.
As everyone picked up their luggage, Shinichi suddenly thought, 'Wait, since my mom was the one who reserved and planned everything... She must have done the room arrangements as well! Oh, boy, I hope she didn't do anything crazy.' Shinichi eyed his mother suspiciously, and she merrily smiled back at him. Yukiko, if you haven't already known, is a lunatic ShinRan shipper. Well, not lunatic, but she certainly approves of it! Shinichi confirmed that fact when the employees gave them their room keys. The employee read off a list, "Now, in this room, are the following: Kudo Shinichi, Mouri Ran, Toyama Kazuha, Suzuki Sonoko, Masumi Sera, and Hattori Heiji."
Shinichi was slightly surprised and thought, 'I thought for sure that Mom was gonna put me in the same room with Ran alone.' They entered the room which was lavishly decorated and had every necessity plus more. Then, he realized this room had MORE rooms in it. There was one huge room that served as a living room or just a place to hang out. Then there were three other rooms marked with doors. There was also a bathroom in each of the three rooms! A bathroom in a room in a room! (AN: Yo dawg, I heard you like rooms?)
After everyone gawked at the expensive-looking hotel room, the next announcement shocked them. In the first room was Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran. The second room was Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha. The third and last one was for Masumi Sera and Suzuki Sonoko. Sera and Sonoko were the only ones rooming with their girl friends! Ran and Kazuha were arranged to live for three days in a room with their respective bf's, because of SOMEONE'S (Yukiko) crafty mind.
Heiji, furiously blushing, instantly objected to these arrangements, "W-what is this!? Seriously, who made these arrangements!? This is just-" Kazuha interrupted, also furiously blushing, "I agree! This is just too much, don't all of ya think?!" Sonoko, who couldn't control herself, giggled loudly to herself, thinking, 'Thank you to whoever arranged the room arrangements.' Yukiko slyly looked at giggling Sonoko and replied in her head, 'You're welcome. We shippers stick together.'
Before Kogoro could yell at Shinichi for deceiving them and stealing his daughter (it was really his mother, however. Hah), Yuusaku and Yukiko quickly hurried the adults out and soon it was just the confused teenagers inside the humongous, luxurious, and fancy hotel room.
'How could I ever trust my mother with anything!?' Shinichi thought, part of him looking forward to it all, but part of him dreading the chaos that would erupt in a brief moment.
AN: I couldn't help but add in the yo dawg. Anticipate next chap, please? :3
