Disclaimer: Detective Conan is not mine. The series belongs to its creator, Gosho Aoyama, and I'm just borrowing the characters and scenery to create these short tales.

Drabble 12: Smile
Premise: This is a
simple tale. One where Conan isn't thinking about murder mysteries
and Ai isn't thinking about the antidote.

The camera clicked one last time as the detective boys and Professor Agasa posed happily in front of the ocean. It had been a perfect day and it was time to return home.
Several days later, Conan was helping the Professor file away the newly arrived pictures when he noticed something.
Pulling out several other pictures from his collection, he found that the pattern continued. He stood up to find another photo album to look through.
"Are you done already Conan-kun?" Professor Agasa asked, catching the boy's attention.
However, instead of watching the Professor reach over and take his unfinished pile, Conan's gaze rested upon the only girl in the group as she stared at a picture in her hands.
He immediately pulled the camera from the couch and snapped a shot, his hasty action catching the attention of the other two.
"Hahaha, I slipped," the boy innocently replied as he walked up to the table, took another helping of photographs, and sat down once again. The other two blinked once or twice before they returned to their own tasks.
Of course the two didn't believe him. However, one wasn't interested in finding out the real reason and the other knew that Conan would explain it when he felt like it.
A few days later, Conan happily picked out a photograph. In it, Haibara was smiling as she gazed down at a picture between her hands.

A/N:
- Now that I look at it, I realize that this chapter drew its roots from KaitouMagician's 31 days. However, it's neat how it's a completely different way to look at the situation.
- Frankly, I'm not sure if Conan was happy because Ai was finally in a photo, or because he finally had one of her smiling.
- The photos? There was a time where you could drop off a roll of film and then the developed films would be ready in a couple days for pickup.
