Pranks
In retrospect, I should have never agreed to this. If you are confused then let me explain. My name is Kudo Conan, son of the famous detective, Kudo Shinichi and founder of the organization, Together as One, Kudo Ran. You see, in all their work they met many people and in turn I met people. One such person was Kuroba Yasue.
Long story short, we didn't get along at first. I was a shy child (which baffled my parents considering who my grandparents are) and Yasue was outgoing (not surprising considering who his parents are). I liked to read books and he liked to go out rock climbing. And the list goes on and on.
I truly believed we can never find a middle ground. We argued. Yasue usually won the verbal ones, but I won the physical fights (to the amusement of everyone around us). Begrudgingly, over time we learned to tolerate the other. He hung out with Irene which later turned into a deeper relationship (to my private horror) and I avoided them altogether with Sakura.
Unfortunately, Irene and Sakura are friends, best friends in fact. So sometimes I have to be in the presence of the annoying Kuroba. Also Yasue was plain weird. I can tell you all about the time he dragged me along to get his ear pierced but that is another story.
There are times that the girls wanted to be girls and that meant I had to "hang out" with Yasue. Most of the time, we just played video games never really talking to the other. One time, Yasue was in a particular mood, the pranking type. A couple of balloons, invisible string, and a dove later I was soaked to the bone. As I glared at the laughing ten year old boy (was it already five years ago?), a plan formulated in my head.
Looking back to it now, maybe I should have reconsidered the prank. Then again we would have never have gotten as close as we are now. Who knew replacing his favorite bag of chips with carrots would make him go nuts (probably his parents but they were talking outside with mine). This was the start of an all out prank war (but that is another story).
In the end, we were dirty, Yasue's house was absolutely ruined and we received a brutal grounding. Which was initiated after my stay in the hospital, considering I broke an arm in the process. Even though I wound up with a broken limb (which took months to heal), we actually came out of it laughing, smiling and closer than before. Thus was the start of a friendship.
"You realize my sister will kill us and if not, Sakura will."
Yasue looked up to the boy on the ladder. "Nonsense. Besides they can't, we have full permission to do this."
"And are you willing to tell them that?." The other boy just shrugged. Conan rolled his eyes and went back to work rewiring the system. "Okay. I think it's finished." Climbing down, he stood next to his friend that was fiddling with his tablet.
"I hope this works." Yasue pressed a few buttons. At first there was silence then music started playing through the system. "Yes!"
I never would have thought that I would become friends with a crazy idiot. Throughout the years, the two of us would pull off some pretty out there things. At the same time, we would get in trouble together for conducting those pranks. The thing is that it brought us closer. I guess I can say that crazy idiot is my friend, my best (guy) friend.
Just don't tell him that, he may get the wrong idea.

Author's Note
What's up fanfiction world,
I tried to write in a different style than my other story. I am currently experimenting on how I should go about writing my stories. I realize that there are so many different ways to convey a story that it interested me.
I decided on a reflection of the prank the two of them will pull in chapter 4 of Shifting Shadows. This is obviously in Conan's point of view. It was really different, more casual and I just let my thoughts run through my fingers as I typed this up.
There is no real editing so if there are grammatical errors then I am sorry. As I stated before, these are just brief clips of the characters lives during or before the actual story. There is no actual thought in these stories. It is for pure fun.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed this. Please read my other story if you are confused about this. I hope you all review, favorite, and follow.
See you soon,
