"Say Kudo-san, how's life in America?" Kogoro asked

"America? Could it be that he's Shin-kun?" Ran thought

"It's fine… Shinichi became a better detective than me. And he—"

"Cut it out Paps! You called me to come here urgently to tell me that I'm going to be engaged?! What the hell!" Shinichi shouted

"No… he's not Shin-kun" Ran said to herself, "they maybe look alike but he's different…"

"Come down Shinichi, come let's talk… Mr. and Mrs. Mouri we will talk him." Yukiko said as she and Yusaku dragged Shinichi to the corner.

"Shinichi! Calm down, you're so embarrassing, shouting in front of them especially to Ran." Yusaku scolded, Shinichi turned to Yukiko hoping that he will help him

"Mom! Why is it so sudden? I'm still 18 you that… I'm too young for marriage" Shinichi said

"It's alright! As long as you will marry to Ran" she giggled

"Thanks mom…" he muttered

"Mom! Dad! What's the meaning of this?! You betrothed me to someone who I don't even know?! Most especially without my permission!" Ran shouted

"Ran, your manners…" Eri scolded

"Now, now… don't be mad. It's for your own good anyway…" Kogoro said calmly

"But dad, I'm 18 years old. I'm still young to get marry…" Ran complained

"18 years old is a sufficient age for marriage" he said then he laughed, Ran sweatdropped then she turned to her mother hoping that she will help her

"Mom, help me… you know that I'm still waiting for someone." She muttered

"Ran, sweetie, 10 years has passed he won't come back…" she said

"But!" she complained again

"No buts!" her mother said this time she glared her which sends shivers to her spine

"alright…" Ran said as she looked down, "Shin-kun… when will you come back?"

"Ne, who's this someone that you're still waiting Ran?" Yukiko butted in as she and her family returned then Ran blushed

"It's Shin-kun…" she said while blushing

"Shin-kun?! Hahhaha what a name!" Shinichi laughed hysterically, Ran stood up from her chair then she lifted her hand and she slapped Shinichi very hard. Leaving a red hand mark on his cheek.

"How dare you!" she shouted as tears were going to flow then she walk away. Their parents stared them with wide eyes as Shinichi stood up he glared them while touching his cheek.

"Shinichi! What have you done?!" Yusaku said then he lifted Shinichi by his collar

"Yusaku stop it! You're hurting him!" Yukiko said, Yusaku put him down then he glared him

"Go follow her and apologize! It's an order…" he said in cold tone

"Paps! I'm the one who got hurt! She slapped me!" Shinichi complained

"Deserves you right! It's your fault anyway!" his father shouted at him

"Shinichi, Yusaku stop it will you. Mr. and Mrs. Mouri, we're very very sorry for our son's behavior" she apologized while bowing then she turned to Shinichi, her eyes twitched "Now Shinichi, go and apologized to her NOW". Shinichi gulped then he get out of the mansion and he looked for her. Then he saw her in the garden, sitting on the bench, she was looking at ground while silently crying.

"Hey…" he said while approaching her

"Go away…" she said while wiping her tears quickly

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't mean it…" he apologized then he sat beside her

"That sounds like a force" she said then he gulped

"Of course not!" he protest while waving his hands, "Look, I really want to make up with you…"

"Okay I forgive you…" she giggled then she smiled at him

"Really?!" he said

"Yes, in one condition…" she said

"Ok what is it?" he asked

"Don't insult Shin-kun, ok?" she said while glaring him which gave him shivers to his spine and he knew that she's a karate champion.

"Deal…" he said and they shake hands then they make their way to the mansion

"By the way, who's Shin-kun?" Shinichi asked then Ran giggled

"Well he's my childhood friend and … my first love…" she said while blushing at the last parts. Shinichi saw this, he felt something… jealous?

"No way…" he said to himself as he twitched his eyebrows

"Kudo-san, what's wrong?" Ran asked

"Nothing's wrong… Shinichi will be fine, no need for formalities." He said

"Ok Shinichi… who is this Shin-kun, anyway?" he asked again

"Well he's very far different from you" Ran giggled then she sticks out her tongue
