A/N: The final chapter, the conclusion, finito, fini! It's done, and like I said it was below 30 chapters, even 25. If I get enough positives for a sequel, it will be a one-shot and it will happen if I get an idea. And, this chapter is in a tribute to Shinichi/Jimmy's birthday, May 4th, because I didn't get a chance to make something for it then. :P

Final Episode: The Forgotten Day

Everyone was ecstatic that Jimmy remembered everything, and, after a day or so of not becoming Conan again, they all assumed it was a permanent antidote to the APTX-4869.

The Black Organization members, at least, the ones who'd been caught, were taken into the police department for question and further punishments. Everyone else was allowed to go home. Harley left for Osaka that night, Jimmy and his parents went home, Eva went back to her own home (much to Rachel's protests), while she and Richard went back to the Moore Detective Agency.

The Kudo Mansion didn't feel quite so empty with three people in the house. His parents said they were staying for a few more days, just to make sure nothing happened, but Jimmy had a funny feeling something else was on their minds when they said that.

--May 4th--

A week had passed since that night. Rachel and Vivian were planning something in secret. Jimmy knew that much. He had completely forgotten it was his birthday, again. Although that was no surprise to them, it made planning in secret much easier.

Inspector Meguire called Jimmy out for a case that day that had so conveniently come up at the right time. Rachel and Vivian immediately to calling people they hadn't yet and decorating pretty much the entire mansion with balloons, streamers, and other party stuff.

Rachel liked planning his birthdays. She used to do it alone all the time, she had to have him remember somehow, so having his mother help was better. Vivian was almost as excited as she was, but of course it was her baby Jimmy's birthday.

There wasn't a sign of Booker. Vivian said he was cooped up in his room writing, but she demanded he at least be down for the party no matter what. And if he wasn't, well...she'd drag him down by any means necessary.

At hearing a knock on the door around lunch time, Rachel immediately went to answer it while Vivian was busy putting up the balloons. She blinked when she saw a girl standing there, about the same age as her, with her brown hair tied into a ponytail.

"Hello," She smiled. "I'm Kirsten, nice to meet you." She then turned around. "Harley, come on!"

"I'm coming, already. Sheesh, you could at least carry -your- present." The familiar voice of the detective of the west was heard as he walked up to the front door. "Hey there, Rachel. Kudo's not here yet, right?"

"He won't be here for another hour or so. Inspector Meguire's keeping him busy."

"Great. Where do we put the presents? My arms are tired."

She giggled and lead him inside. In the living room, they had set up a big table in order to keep what presents might come. Harley sighed and set the presents there.

"My arms thank it. Hey, I think I smell cake."

Vivian laughed as she walked into the room. "It's just about done. Vi said she was helping Hershel with something and they'd be over soon, and the little ones are coming over too."

"They were told?"

"Yes."

It had been hard for Jimmy to tell them that he was really Conan, that there really was no Conan. They had been sad at first, but after a while or so thought it was cool that they had been hanging around Jimmy Kudo all this time. They hadn't been told about Vi, though.

That was her story to tell.

...

Jimmy sighed as he made his way home. The case was easy enough to solve, but the inspector had kept him there for help with other ones too. He loved solving them and catching the criminals, but today was just too much.

"I hope there's no case waiting for me at home...I'm gonna take a nap soon..."

He mumbled this as he turned the knob to his front door and when he opened it, he found that it was pitch dark, not even a candle lit.

He blinked twice. Did mom and dad leave already?

He wandered into the living room, and that was when he felt someone hugging him from behind and covering his eyes for a moment.

"Hello, Jimmy."

That voice....Gin! But how?

"...Gin?"

Everyone else tried to keep from laughing.

"No, silly." Gin's voice was gone, replaced by Rachel's soon after as she kissed his cheek.

"Rachel? Haha, very funny. And why is it so dark in here?"

"Okay, Mrs. Kudo. Lights!"

When the lights turned on, Rachel uncovered his eyes, watching as he blinked a few times in surprise. The place was decorated with balloons, streamers, and everyone except for his father, Harley (no matter how much Kirsten tried to make him), and Dr. Agasa, were wearing party hats of different colors.

"What...?"

"Happy Birthday, Jimmy!" Everyone, well, almost everyone exclaimed. Vi stood there with her arms crossed and a little smile on her face, and Harley was looking at Kristen with an annoyed expression. Amy, Mitch and George were there next to Vi with big grins on their faces. Even Richard and Eva were there, although they were as far away as they could possibly be from each other, no matter how much Rachel tried to get them together. Booker was there too, having given his work a break for a while so he could at least be at his son's birthday party....or face Vivian's wrath.

"You forgot again, didn't you?" Rachel smiled, giving him a hug. "It's your birthday, Jimmy."

Rachel kissed him on the cheek once more and he smiled.

"Thank you, guys."

"Hey, no problem Kudo. Now let's cut the cake!"

"Harley!"
