The Grand Proposal

"That boy! I'm gonna punch him to death! Making a girl wait in the middle of no where, all I can think of is that he encountered another case and got too excited that he forgot the date today!" Ran murmured as she kicked the mail post that almost bent with her strength.

"Hey miss! What's up? You got dumped by your boyfriend. Why not come with us for a change of environment." A man shouted as he approached her.

"Sorry! But now, I'm really in a bad mood. Just wait you detective maniac! I'll make you sorry for this." Ran spouted as if she didn't notice the man approaching.

"Hey! I said come with us! Didn't you hear me?" the man once again shouted. But this time, Ran noticed him but cannot do anything for her wrists were already caught by the huge and strong guy who seemed to be used in karate as well.

Then all of a sudden, to their surprise, a gun was pointed to the head of the bad guy as Hattori came approaching. Ran was saved and the bad guy ran in great fear, Ran, without any hesitations, asked Hattori of what happened to Shinichi.

"Just come with me, It's really a big case that Shinichi wanted you to see."

"A big case that Shinichi wanted me to see?" For the first time ever, Shinichi asked me to be with him in a case? How unbelievable! He always want me out of the case because he said I will just cry and cry.

After sometime, Ran found herself standing right in front of Tropical Land.

"Hattori, are you sure we're in the right place?" Ran asked with astonishment. But as she looked back, it was a different person holding a bouquet of roses standing opposite to where she was.

"Sorry for all the trouble." A very familiar voice said as light steps were heard getting louder and louder.

"What's with you Shinichi? Making me wait and then asking Hattori to drive me here? And why does it seem like we're the only persons in Tropical Land?" Ran asked with confusion.

"Just wait you silly girl." Shinichi grabbed her hand and pulled her inside Tropical Land. Lights were off and when it was turned on, the light was straightly directed just on their location.

Ran remembered. That place was the very place Shinichi wanted her to see after she won the regional karate tournament. In the middle of a pavilion surrounded with rising waters, as if they were in the middle of a very extravagant fountain, even more beautiful than the one she first saw, at exactly 9:00 p.m., the young private detective kneeled in front of her and blushed as he asked for her hand while the water splashes as it surrounded them. The very time the water stopped splashing, fireworks started to rise up the starry night sky and once again, the whole Tropical Land was filled with different people who were all witnessed of the young detective's journey. None of those were strangers to them. All were their friends and relatives

"Now Ran Mouri, will you accept me, Kudo Shinichi, East Japan's greatest detective, a mystery freak, your most handsome childhood friend, to be your boyfriend and soon to be husband?" Shinichi shouted as he blushed in front of everyone in their position.

That time, it all seemed so enlightened for the young girl. They were just the center of attention at that position. Everyone was giggling while staring at them happily.

"You sure are brave to ask me that." Ran finally started to talk.

At that time, Cogoro Mouri almost fainted. Maybe that's because he was just asked by her wife to go on a date without expecting his legal separation with her daughter. But Kudo Yusaku gladly smiled at him with respect. On the other hand, Megure, Sato, Takagi, and so with other members of Japanese Police Department shouted and screamed at the sweetest proposal they've ever seen.

"That's to be expected. I'm a detective. You know that right!" Shinichi shouted.

To his surprise instead of a yes, Ran cried just like a little girl and stared at him.

"Why? Am I too mean and unlikable that you want to cry every time you see me?"

"Not really. In fact, it's the opposite of what you said. I accept, Mr. Detective."

Shinichi smiled and hugged her tightly. Both of them cannot hide the joy that suddenly came out shown by their happy faces.

"After all, Shinichi is Shinichi. A detective will always be a detective."

"Don't be surprise. Miracles always happen even without people noticing things. File it in our archives Dr. Agasa. Who knows, maybe someday, the true story may be told!"
