Love makes all things beautiful

Chapter 4

Regrets

Author's note: Sorry about taking long for the update. I am a Muslim. and I had celebrations in Eid.

that is an Arabian celebration that happens twice a year. oh well here is the long chapter.

Ai's POV

A week passed ever since the talk about who Schnchi was. I didn't let Jackson sleep in the same room as me.

Neither did Hakase let him rush things with me. Jackson grew more fond on Conan. But not that fond. He kept his eye out for competition from every corner. And he would watch Conan like a hawk whenever he handed me something or was a meter away from me. That also really un-nerved me. I noticed that my freedom (which wasn't that much) was being sunken away, slowly and steadily. I couldn't stand it but withdraw myself from the world in the laboratory. Closing the connection from me to the world with a slam.

And work on something that was left.

And let the tears fall.

And think about how my new life will be.

As Mrs. Jackson Pierce.

And the week passed...

It was now a warm rare day, considering it the beginning of Autumn. Hakase could hear the faint sound of the ice-cream truck at least one mile away from the road they were in. "Lets get some ice-cream Schnchi. It's been along time since we did hasn't it ?" Hakase asked. "good idea" Conan said.

"which flavor do you want Jackson?" Conan asked .

"Chocolate." Jackson replied.

"ok and always Ai you want vanilla right?" Conan asked.

" Sure Conan." Ai said.

Conan then heard the ice-cream truck music enter the street they were in.

"lets go then" Hakase said.

Hakase walked outside. "WAIT!" Ai yelled in Japanese.

Conan looked. "ya?" he asked, also in Japanese.

Her eyes narrowed at Jackson.

"don't leave me alone with him." She said in Japanese.

"don't worry we wont be long" Conan said smirking.

He left.

"What were you saying to him?" Jackson asked.

"oh nothing only a little joke secret we had for some time." Ai said.

"ok well its good that were finally alone." he said. His arms were then around Ai ."what are you doing?" She asked almost terrified. "we have to steal a kiss." he said.

His lips were terribly close. Her lips quivered. Her mind then clicked.

She discovered then that she would never marry this man.

She then knew what she wanted to do.

The next thing she knew was that she fell on the floor.

And Jackson had a very red cheek with the shape of a small hand on it.

Then Hakase and Conan came in once she got up.

She looked at both of them then she fled to safety, the exit to the world.

She sighed as she looked at the computer screen.

She saw a strange page.

Her eyes widened.

It was a virus. And there was a message along with it.

Dear Sherry,

I have sent you a virus a year ago and ordered it to be unleashed now.

I think it made some secret disappearances to some files.

NOT JUST ANY FILES.

I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before but the cold blood I have is waiting to strike.

With all my Love,

Gin

Ai stared at the page. Then a second later she was running out of the lab with full speed.

"Hakase!" Ai called. "What is it?" Hakase answered. Ai then saw Jackson. She ignored him and continued talking to Hakase. She looked terrified. "Gin set a virus on my P.C" She said. Conan gasped. Hakase ran to his room and another 2 minutes later he came down again with an Antivirus C.D. Ai grabbed it and ran with full speed. "Save the Antidote!" Conan yelled. Ai entered the C.D and turned the program on. She had to save the computer with all the files and most importantly the Data to the Antidote. If there was a chance to have Conan , She would have to do that.

She saved The Antidote. Only a few easy and short files were gone. But none of them were that important.

She could write them all again in less then an hour. She sighed. If only she didn't have to marry Jackson. Then she could have had a chance with Conan. But Jackson existed in this world so she had to give it a go .

She felt regret.

Suddenly the door opened. Ai felt the footsteps, as she had been trained before. Either Schnchi or Jackson. She looked behind. Jackson. She frowned. "nice lab" he said. "it may take time to move it to my place but I think we'll make it do" He added. "who said I am marrying you?" Ai asked. " Hakase is writing the invitations." Jackson said. "who said I want to marry you?" She asked. Jackson stared at her. Conan started down the stairs. "Oh hey To-bees. Ai can I ask you something?" Conan asked. "what is it?" Ai asked. "Can I have a temporary pill today? I want to go and see Ran." Conan asked. "about that..." Ai started. "what?" Conan Asked.

"there was a file deleted by the virus. it was a calculation. But I think I can make a much longer time in the pill." Ai said. "What? That's great!" Conan said. "ya. enough time to hang with your girlfriend." Ai said mournfully. Conan suddenly frowned. "Jackson can I talk to Ai alone?" Conan asked. "why not?" Jackson asked. Then he was out of the room . Conan held Ai's hand. Ai shivered. "Ai... you didn't get over it yet? it's been a year. "

Conan said. "I wont ever... I always will love you..." Ai said. tears came to her eyes. "Ai... can you do something for me?" Conan asked patting Ai's back. "anything." Ai said. "marry Jackson. He's a good guy. and he means well too. " Conan said. "I... I cant. I don't want him to-" Ai started but Conan cut her saying "For me" He then softly kissed her lips very quickly.

"don't tell Ran about that" Conan said swiftly.

He then left the room.

Ai touched her lips. She smiled to herself.

"Ai-kun! come were going to buy a wedding dress!" Hakase called.

"For Conan." She whispered.

She didn't think that was enough to let her marry Jackson.

But she had to.

She called out "COMING!"

Conan heard it in the kitchen . He smiled to himself. Ai would do it. But at the same time he got sad, not knowing why. He brushed it away. And watched as Ai walked toward Hakase. She looked at him. Then she frowned and looked down. She was ready.

Conan should be the best man.

" So you need my help?" A man's voice came on the phone.

"yes. I need you to do something for us." Vermouth said.

"what is it?" He asked.

"Do you remember APTX-4869?" Vermouth asked.

"yes . I was the assistant in working on it . along with Sherry who was leader. why?" The man asked.

"Gin and Vodka need to get out of jail" Vermouth said.

"They didn't get out of jail yet? I thought they escaped after the first day." the man said.

"they need to get out of jail. We have" events" to do." Vermouth replied.

"what kind of "events" ?" The man asked.

"A wedding." She answered.

"splendid. am I invited?" The man joked.

"no need for jokes. Gin and Vodka noticed that the bars can't conceal children. so we need the drug. to make them shrink like Sherry had. but I need the age level to get to age 14." Vermouth said.

"understood." The man said.

"We really need you Phantom." Vermouth said.

"yes. " Phantom said. "You really do." He added.
