Hi! Sorry for not updating! I'm having writer's block and hard time writig this chapter because I can't come with any good ways to explain stuff that happens. But a few days ago I decided to give it a try anyway and wrote the rest of the chapter.
Conan: Huh? You decided to continue? I thought for sure you had given up.
Yuugilover: I thought so too until recently
Ran: What did I see in the pantry?
Yuugilover: Well read and find out.
Disclaimer - I own nuthing!
Chapter 4: Let me introduce you to John
"Oh my God!"
Ran fell to the floor and immediately the professor and the tiny scientist ran towards her with paled faces.
"Ran-kun what happened? Are you feeling alright?" Agasa asked shocked. But Ran didn't answer, instead a rather high pitch voice talked from the pantry.
"She is just sleeping" Conan said and walked out of the pantry, the watch on his arm still open.
"You tranquilized her?!" Haibara roared.
"As if I had much of a choice, you guys couldn't come up with anything better did you?"
"He's got a point in his words" The professor said in a now calmer voice.
"Help me move her" The small detective said "She can't be lying on the floor, she can get sick"
"I guess you can't do it yourself" Haibara smirked. The three year old just groaned in response.

When Ran finally opened her eyes she noticed she was on a sofa. Not long after that she saw Haibara and Agasa looking at her.
"Oh you're awake" The professor said.
"Umm, what happened? Why am I on a sofa?" Ran asked and sat up clutching her head.
"When you went into the pantry a bag fell from the shelf and hit you" Haibara said with her arms crossed.
"It did? I don't remember that, weird. But I guess you're right" Ran shrugged.
"You okay neechan?" The brown haired girl turned her head to the source of the voice and let out a gasp. The one who had talked was no one else but Conan, wait no, it wasn't Conan. That boy seemed much younger, three years the most. Ran blinked in confusion as she stared at the cute chibi in front of her.
"Oh God you are…" Her face went a tiny bit pale and her eyes got big as plates.
The three year old mimicked her expression perfectly. ´Oh no don't tell me she knows my real identity?!´ He screamed in his head.
The brunet girl slowly stood up from the couch, her eyes never leaving the boy's. But only a second later she was crouched down in front of him. Agasa and Haibara were practically holding their breaths afraid to disturb the silence or possibly giving away hints on accident.
"You are…" Ran repeated.
All Conan's detective senses screamed for him to run for it, but he didn't dare to back away. Instead he stared back at the girl with such innocent eyes that could compete with a hungry puppy.
"…so CUTE!" The karate champion let go of all her tensions that had filled the air and exchanged it to a heartwarming squeal. She opened up her arms and pretty much glomped the poor frightened boy.
´Wha-wha-what?! Déjà vu much?´ Conan did his best to get away from the girl's iron grip since, well it's embarrassing to be hugged by the girl he likes. But to get out of her strong arms in a tiny body ain't easy!
"Can't… breathe…" He was able to cough out, his face kind of turning into a blue color.
"Oh I'm SO sorry! Ran basically begged for forgiveness on her knees (Well she IS crouched down on the floor)
"It's okay…" The not-child coughed.
"How old are you?" She decided to ask, totally forgetting about Agasa and Haibara.
"Eh… three?" Conan guessed after taking a quick look at himself.
´Actually I'm seventeen…´
"Wow you have good grammar for a three year old!" Ran exclaimed with big eyes.
´Shit I gotta change my act! I'm so used to being a seven year old, now I need to be a three year old geez´
"Eh… uhu! Me goody in tawking!" The three year old could bet he heard Haibara snicker behind Ran and slowly repeating what he said.
"Goody in tawking" She smirked quietly but no one heard her.
"Aww you're so cute!" The karate champion squealed yet again scaring the boy into thinking he would be glomped again.

"So where does he come from? I mean who are his parents?"
Agasa took his cup of tea and drank some of it before answering. "He's a distant relative of mine and he's Conan-kun's little brother, his name is… John!"
The same moment said boy spat out his drink on the whole table. Had the professor really come up with the idea of calling him John as from Sherlock's companion and right hand? Does that mean Conan was supposed to be the Sherlock then? Ran's gotta think they (Conan and John) have weird parents.
´So now I'm my own little brother?´
"John, look what you did! The whole table is wet now, geez you need to be more careful" The long haired brunet scolded. "Now what do you say when you've done something wrong?" She cocked an eyebrow towards the boy making him sweat-drop
"…Sowwy" John smiled innocently. This ended up as a bad idea because Ran yet again hugged the poor thing with all her might.
"Aww!" She squealed but after a few seconds she softened her hold and looked him in the eyes. "Oh sorry! I forgot to introduce myself didn't I? My name is Ran Mouri"
´As if I didn't know that already. I have known you since I was born after all´ the little detective though and mentally deadpanned.
"So…" Ran began turning her head towards the professor "Where are Mr. and Mrs. Edogawa?"
Agasa's eyes narrowed for a split second as he tried to come up with some believable lies that could sound possible. But the fact that Ran was staring at him with confusion because of his delayed answer didn't help him at all.
´Please come up with something good…´ John/Conan thought.
"Well J-John-kun's and Conan-kun's parents left him here for a while and eh they took Conan-kun with them you see! They didn't tell me any details besides needing to borrow him for a week" Agasa finally concluded with a fake smile.
"What? They took Conan-kun and left John-chan here to the professor? What kind of parent would leave their baby to a busy professor?!" Ran practically screamed. She quickly stood up with John/Conan in her arms; he immediately started moving around trying to get down.
´I'm not a baby I'm 3 years ol- no wait I mean 7 years- no I mean… eh never mind this is kinda comfortable…´ He thought and stopped moving around.
"I don't know" The professor almost yelled "Family stuff I think" He shrugged.
"I will call Conan and ask him about this" Ran sighed and picked up her phone to dial the number.
´Wait if she tries to call Conan's- eh… I mean my number then she's gonna hear it since I didn't switch it off!´ The three year old Shinichi Kudo mentally face-palmed. He had to come up with a solution fast!
He used the best baby face he could muster and said in a cute voice "Ran-neechan me want to pway in da park and go swoosh!" Chibi Kudo used his tiny arms and showed he meant a slide. He knew Haibara would tease him about this for the rest of his life, but at the moment saving his identity was more important.
"Aww sure we can!" Ran beamed and took away her cellphone "Don't worry I will ask my dad if you can live with us for the rest of the week until your mama and papa picks you up if you want"
"Me can wait fwor mama and papa me a bwig boy!"
´There went my pride…´ Conan mentally cried wanting to die from all the shame.
"I'm sure you can" Ran said and gave him a little kiss on his nose.
´Maybe it isn't so bad after all…´ He grinned
Yuugilover: Conan stop acting like a pervert.
Chibi Conan: I've done nothing wrong so don't blame me!
Heiji: Will I show up soon?
Yuugilover: Yes I believe in next chapter you'll arrive.
Chibi Conan: Oh hell no!
Heiji: *Picks up chibi Conan* Hallelujah! Now I can tease this guy all I want!
Chibi Conan: Please, someone murder this guy...
