Now for the confrontation! But why does 'Conan' keep having heart attacks? (rhetorical question)

Chapter Sixteen

That afternoon, they all decided to go jump in the lake, as it was very hot. After changing in their cabins, they all trudged to the waterfront with their towels, sunscreen, and goggles.

When there, they all put their stuff in the supplied cubbyholes. Ran, watching Shinichi slyly, decided to prove who he was once and for all.

"Need some help with your contacts, Shinichi?" asked Ran, watching as Shinichi reached for his eyes.

Shinichi jumped a mile, as he hadn't realized Ran was watching him. "Ran…what contacts?" he stuttered, hastily putting his arms down. "I don't wear contacts. You know perfectly well I have 20-20 vision."

"Yes, Kudo Shinichi does have perfect vision," Ran began, "so why are you wearing contacts? I've seen you put them in and take them out several times."

The others were now listening in rapt attention.

"Also," continued Ran, "Kudo Shinichi wouldn't know anything about Sonoko's play at the church, the aftermath, or any of the cases Dad has solved since he's been away. You know all of these things. Which leads me to one conclusion: you're not Shinichi."

Shinichi just stared at her in horror, before quickly recovering and saying, "Ran, why are you saying I'm not your best friend?"

"I've already given you my reasons. But those are circumstantial. The real proof is the contacts you're wearing right now. Only one person could know both me and Shinichi well enough to impersonate him. Right, Conan-kun?"

Dead silence. Sonoko was looking between Ran and Shinichi like they were both lunatics. Mayumi, Mikihiko, and Kenta were looking around nervously, and Shiho looked deep in thought.

"Ran…are you saying I'm a 7 year old brat? That's a laugh! Do I look 7 years old?"

"I'm sure of it!" exclaimed Ran. "The other four are Ayumi-chan, Mitsuhiko-kun, Genta-kun, and Ai-chan!"

"Ran, you're not making sense…"

"FINE! I'll prove it to you!" exclaimed Ran hotly. She then took out her phone, and pushed in a number. An instant later, Shinichi's phone rang. Shinichi, figuring where this was going, took out the ringing phone, and quickly opened it to find it was his Conan phone. His face grew pale.

"HA!" exclaimed Ran triumphantly. "So you are Conan-kun. Admit it!"

Shiho suddenly spoke up. "Mouri-san, if you really think we're not who we say we are, then why don't you ask us something only an adult would know?"

When Ran and Sonoko had turned to look at Shiho, Shinichi had quickly removed the contacts and put them away. Then he had sent a message to Shiho saying, 'OK'.

"Alright then," said Ran. "Shinichi, what exactly did you say to me in London? As a high school detective, you should be able to repeat exactly what you said."

Sonoko suddenly grew very interested. Shinichi's face suddenly grew red, and then he said, "I think I said something like, 'The heart of a woman who one likes…how can someone accurately deduce that?'. Is that right?"

Ran was speechless. The only person who could know something like that would be…Shinichi. "You're really Shinichi?"

"Idiot, what've I been telling you this whole time? Yes, I'm me! Don't ever doubt it!"

"Then…why are you wearing contacts, then?"

"I'm not. See?" said Shinichi, showing Ran his eyes, where there were no contacts present. Suddenly, the pain spasms came back, but way more intense this time, and Shinichi realized that this was the end of him being an adult again.

He exchanged a look with Shiho, and as one, they both opened up their watches and knocked out Ran and Sonoko. Soon, the other four started having them, too. The propped up Ran and Sonoko by the cubby holes, grabbed their stuff, and ran off towards the cabins.

Once there, they quickly packed their stuff, but they removed a set of kid clothes apiece, and went into the bathroom to transform. Ten minutes later, five kids met outside the two cabins.

Conan quickly sent a text to Ran, and then called Agasa, who soon arrived. They snuck out of camp and went home.
