"Hey Ace. How you doing?" Naoto opened her eyes as Minato entered her room. "Your Grampa said I should come check on you." She groaned as he approached her.

"I'm fine... Just tired... What time is it?" He smiled at her before responding;

"Promise you won't get annoyed okay?"

"Why would I be annoyed? I promise."

"Well... It's five in the afternoon." His worried expression just made her more annoyed then you should be.

"Really? What's with that look?" She gazed up at him as she sat up.

"Yes. I'm just worried. That's all. You should rest. A lot happened yesterday." The response was given in a fatherly way as he smiled at her again.

"Hmmm... Maybe I should... What happened after I blacked out?" Her curious gaze was met with an uneasy one as she questioned him.

"Er... I'll tell you later. Go back to sleep, okay?" With that he turned to leave.

"Okay..." Yawning she laid back down in her bed and within moments her consciousness faded away...


"Hey, Naoto. You taking Tantei out?" Naoto looked up from Tantei to see her cousin approaching her.

"Would you like to join us?" She smiled at him as he scratched the young dog behind the ears.

"Sure. Why not?" He nodded calmly before the three of them left the building. "Don't forget to take it easy for a while." Tantei gently tugged the lead at his words so only Naoto noticed.

"I'm fine Minato. Don't worry about me." Her agitated expression was fixed on the pup.

"Hmph. You know I can't do that. You would be worried for me."

"I suppose your right." She gaze Tantei a knowing look as he stared up at her with part of the lead in his mouth. "Okay."

"Hmm? Okay, what?" Grinning, the young detective and her companion bolted towards the Samagawa flood plain, leaving Minato to chase after them in confusion. "Hey! Wait!" No.

"Come on Tantei." She mumbled so only he could hear her as they sprinted side by side away from Minato.

As soon as they arrived Naoto unclipped the lead from his collar and watched as he doubled back and successfully knocked her cousin over. The blue haired teen burst out laughing as the pup assaulted his face with slobbery licks.

After a few moments he shoved the pup of him and quickly stood back up to swiftly join a rather smug looking Naoto.

"You never told me what you told my friends after I blacked out, you know." Her voice skilfully masked her curiosity.

"Well... I told them about how you used to run around the house dressed up as Sherlock Holmes and stuff." Now it was his turn to be smug as her eyes widened in a mixture of shock and nervousness. "I then told them about the many vases you broke with that Nerf gun of yours."

"Why did you tell them that?!" She barely managed to prevent herself from screaming at him as she threw a tennis ball for Tantei.

"They asked. I think by the end of our conversations about everyone's past your friend... er Yukiko-san was almost in another laughing fit." Before Naoto could respond her phone's ringtone caught her attention.

"Hello? Shirogane speaking." Minato grinned at her as she answered the phone in a professional way.

"Hey Naoto-kun? It's Yosuke. Where are you right now?" Yosuke's casual voice sparked the young detective's curiosity.

"Both myself and Minato are at the Samagawa with Tantei. Why? Is something wrong?" She answered plainly, motioning for Minato to entertain the dog.

"Really? Okay, well Ted says another dungeon's appeared. I called to ask when we'll meet. Is tomorrow okay with you guys?" Another dungeon? As in another ridiculous challenge for the team to overcome somehow? Damn it! Why so soon?

"I would assume so. I'll just check with Minato." Turning to her cousin she gestured for him to come towards her. "Are you okay with meeting at Junes with everyone tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Not a problem! You don't have to ask me you know."

"Okay. Well then, Yosuke we will meet up tomorrow at Junes, like we usually do."

"Okay. Sweet! I'll tell the others. Just don't forget okay? I don't think anyone particularly wants to go exploring when they've just been soaked..." His sarcastic tone just brought a smile to her face. She hated when he did that, but there was just something oddly satisfying someone feeling the need to mention such a badly timed joke such as that.

"You're not very funny. We only planned for Yakushiji-san to be the victim. We weren't expecting another two people to just wonder in."

"Ha yeah, right. You both laughed your heads of anyway though right?"

"Perhaps. Anyway we will see you tomorrow." She could faintly hear him chuckling as she moved the phone away from her ear and hung up.

"So whats the meeting for?" Minato asked her as she joined him again.

"Teddie says that there's a new area to investigate in the TV world. We're going to go over the plan."

"Right. Anything else?" He threw the ball again for Tantei.

"He specifically said not to forget as the others wouldn't want to walk in on another joke aimed for Yakushiji-san."

"Ha! That was great, wasn't it? Three birds with one stone!" She chuckled slightly at that.

"Yeah... I wonder who's dungeon will be next though..." Her expression was one of wonder as she watched Tantei play in the water with someone else's dog.

"I don't know. There's to many options. Though that'll make it more interesting to find out, right?" His enthusiasm seemed to be contagious as Naoto smiled excitedly curious.

"I suppose."


"Sorry, we're late. I hope we didn't keep you waiting for too long." Naoto spoke apologetically as she and her cousin arrived a little later then expected.

"Where the hell have you guys been?! And dude, whys your hair wet?" Yosuke stared at Minato who's blue hair was still drying from what had happened earlier that day.

"Well, someone tried learning how to fish with no idea what he was doing. Long story short, I ended up dragging him out the Samagawa." She had a rather smug look on her face as Minato looked away in embarrassment.

"Dude... Seriously?" Suddenly Yukiko burst out laughing at them. "You know you could have sent us a message or something."

"I did." She replied simply. "In fact, I sent the message to you."

"Oh... Really?"

"Yes."

"Ugh! Who cares! Are we going to start the meeting, or what?" Chie's impatience was equalled by everyone else present.

"Right. Well we got everything we would need on the way here so we can depart whenever you're ready." Chie nodded in satisfaction before the team headed towards Junes' electronic department...


Authors Note!

Okay... Note my most eventful or interesting chapter but I haven't really had any interesting fanfics to read that are at all interesting to me. You see I get more ideas the more ideas I see so yeah. Plus my laptop is getting on my nerves! The charger only works for a few minutes before you have to move it around to keep it working! Sick of it... Anyway! If I go quiet for awhile then its either because I'm waiting for my computer to get fixed or something's happening at home. However the latter would probably take me a lot longer to get over then the former. Anyway! Before you think about something you shouldn't, no. Minato did NOT change Naoto into her pyjamas before he put her to bed! He took her jacket and shoes of ONLY! Just pointing that out for any dirty minded readers... The next chapter will be more interesting and by interesting I mean it'll probably contain the second of my crazy ideas! Though I can't decide whether I should use a more nostalgic theme or the farfetched theme that I think would be hilarious! Either way! Its another dungeon of randomness! Like always please Read & Review! I know I keep saying this but its damn true how ridiculously happy hearing from you guys! :D :D :D :D Oh and for that person that randomly said that she's the same age as me, then why don't you get an account so I can actually reply to those kinds of comments? Just a thought... :D :D :D
