Hi everyone! Happy New Year! It's been awhile and I finally have something new to share, or really something new for an older idea. Unfortunately it's not the continuation of the scenario started on chapter 10, "Meeting Your Past." Hopefully one day I'll get around to that. We'll see! But this chapter is still connected to the story in general. This takes a different turn since we'll be seeing his future! Now here you go, enjoy

Title: Meeting Your Past - To The Future

Date: January 24, 2024

Note: The Day Of His Dreams (Using Canon Pairings)

.

"I do." The bride looks lovingly in her love's eyes.

"I do." The groom looks lovingly in his love's eyes.

"You may now kiss the bride!"

Everyone was clapping and cheering, congratulating the happy couple. Over on the side, a boy in a blue tuxedo with the same hairstyle as the groom, was watching the events play out in awe, a weird feeling washing over him as he saw the beautiful union come together. All he could really think of was their embrace and the ceremony, how much he wished he could be in his position for even just a minute.

After the kiss, the man turns over to him and quickly speaks, "Not your turn yet. You still have a lot to do before you can be in my position. For now, enjoy yourself and have fun while you're here."

Right… Fun… It's hard when the wedding is one you wished for for the longest time. How did this all start again with him being here? Oh right, it was because he was trying to have "fun" in the first place:

.

He was groaning, the last thing he remembered was the giant headache from getting slammed in the face by the soccer ball he failed to notice flying in his direction.

"Are you okay?"

"Haii…" He really wasn't. If anything, he wanted to lay down and just be done with the soccer game since he had been too distracted to play properly against the Shounen Tantei-dan. Earlier, he and Ran had another one of their little arguments and then he had to play it down as Conan, acting as if nothing happened. So to take his mind off of the argument, he made an excuse and met up with the group to play. It was troublesome when he did something to make her upset, again, but his Conan life and Shinichi life were two separate things. Any falter of his character would cause Ran to be suspicious, again.

"You should really sit down Shinichi, or is it Conan-kun at the moment?"

"Huh?" His head must have been really off because he thought he was hearing Ran speak. Unless Haibara was using his bow tie to mess with him… Wait… did he just hear?

"I guess from the glasses, it's definitely "Conan." Am I right?" She giggled while preforming air quotes with her fingers saying his name, smiling down sweetly at him.

"Ran?! How-w, wait, whaaa? Ehh?!" Ran giggled at the response, looks like she was alone in a room and now that he got a better look at her, she was in a…

"You're in a… in a…" He blushed, embarrassed yet couldn't stop himself from grinning sillily.

"A wedding dress? Do you like it, "Conan-kun?"" She was giggling again, asking him in such a teasing manner.

"Wait? How?"

She shook her head, "Well, I guess you really did disappear a few times as you after all."

"Disappear? I only disa-," The reply died in his mouth as his mind finally caught up. He realized what she meant and that it had happened again. He was having some kind of record over hear. Hopefully the world record committee never caught wind of this.

"That's right, you disappeared during your time as Conan too and ended up here. You know, it makes so much sense now."

"Huh?"

"That's a secret. You'll find out later anyway." She answered playfully.

"But, what am I-? What about the-"

"Oi, Ran! I think I forgot my bow tie in here!" He recognized it, that was his voice!

"Come in, just don't look. Remember, it's not good to look at the bride until I'm walking down the aisle."

"Yeah, I know." So, in he walked, a much older Shinichi who had honored his word and closed his eyes.

After fixing his bow tie and collar, she promptly carried Conan, who was still getting over his immense shock, and placed him in his arms. "Oh and Shinichi, here, put him in that position."

"Wha, wait, Ran?" But Shinichi was promptly pushed outside, the door locked behind him while holding someone little in his arms.

He opened his eyes and blinked, "Huh…"

"That's all you have to say?"

"I didn't think I disappeared here."

"So, marrying huh?"

"Yep."

"She knows?"

"Yep."

"Got drop kicked I bet?"

"Oh you know it, and much more."

"So… Everything with the o…"

"Yep."

"Huh…"

"Yeah…"

Given how his conversations went with his younger selves, he was surprised by how calm both of them were being right now.

"So, what position was Ran talking about?"

"Oh, right… I still wasn't quite over this yet. But hey, let's make the most of the 24 plus hours you'll be around until then!" Shinichi smiled, somewhat of an uncharacteristic Kaitou KID like smile if "Conan" was being honest.

"Seems you've been hanging around KID then?"

"Oh, a little more than you know. You'll come to find that we'll have more in common down the line."

"Right…"

"But enough about that, I do really think that this timing is so impeccable. The boy who was given the position got sick and isn't able to make it, so now that you're here…"

Conan thought about it, putting the clues together, that this was a wedding and the only positions of children there were, he concluded, "You want me to be the-"

"That's right." He smiled and promptly carried his younger self away.

So, that's how he ended up here, wearing the suit that suspiciously fit him to a tee, holding the pillow which held the two, top quality and very much like each other to get, rings for both Ran and he. He was the little Ring Bearer, which was kind of fitting in a odd way. He was basically giving himself the permission for the wedding, probably what his future self was thinking too.

Whenever he gets sent back to his time, he has a feeling that somehow, he'd remember something about this day.

.

So this is what I came up with. Shinichi meets up with his past and Conan meets up with his future. I honestly hadn't thought of much more beyond this point, so that's all I got for this idea for now! If there's anything you want to know more about, feel free to let me know in the comments. As always, thank you so much for reading! :D

Edit: I realize, I may have gotten the idea partially from, "Doraemon Stand By Me 2"??
