Prom

Everything returned to normal. It is as if Conan never existed.

Shinichi went to Ran's house. Sonoko, who was always going to school with Ran, saw Shinichi waiting for Ran.

"Na, Shinichi. Waiting for your wife?"

"Yah."

Shinichi did not react against that? Something's wrong. (laughs)

"Hayaku, Ran. We'll be late for school."

"Hai, hai."

Shinichi gave her a gentle kiss.

Sonoko was surprised of Ran and Shinichi's sweet talks.

"Hey! When did you two became, well, you know… Ran, why didn't you tell me?"

"(whispers) Not yet. He hadn't asked me yet."

"Oh really? Hey, Kudo! How long will you make Ran wait? You act as if you're her boyfriend but you haven't asked her yet!"

"Okay then, I'll do it now. Ran! " darn, this really requires courage "w-will y-you b-be m-my…"

"Will you be my date this coming prom?"

Damn, Shinichi. What are you thinking?

"O-okay."

"Looks like something good will happen to this couple this coming prom. Ran, I'll help you pick a dress."

"Geez, Sonoko. He's just taking me to the prom. No big deal. That's just another date, there will be a case, he will be investigating. And nothing good will happen in the end."

"You wait, Ran. (laughs)"

There was silence until they reached their school. Everyone seems to see a ghost of Shinichi.

"The captain of the karate club and the high school detective really are together, right?" Everyone whispers about Ran and Shinichi.

One of their classmates asked. "Ran! When did your husband return?"

"Hey! It's not like that." Shinichi interrupted "I was investigating on a very huge case. It's finished so I'm here."

"(whispers) Hey, Shinichi. Don't be like that. We will be the topic of the gossips if you'll continue to be like that."

"(talks to everyone) Ne, minna-san, my wife is worried that you'll talk about us. I don't mind, really. (laughs)"

"Shinichi!"

Days passed and prom's tonight.

Shinichi waited for Ran downstairs. After a couple of minutes, Ran went down. Shinichi was surprised.

"Wow, Ran. You really look like girl…not like the Ran whom I know. (laughs)"

Ran gave him a slight punch on his cheek. "Don't tease me, okay? Geez, this is all your fault. I wouldn't have gone to the prom if you…"

Shinichi stopped her by kissing her lips. "Enough, Ran. (laughs) This is an important night for me. Bear with me. (laughs)"

"Come on, the car's waiting for us."

The couple entered Shinichi's car that was especially bought for the prom.

"Geez, Shinichi. Since when did you have this car?"

"Yesterday, I borrowed some of my parents' money. (laughs) I bought this for tonight."

Shinichi have already told his parents. This night would definitely be the night…

Shinichi talked to himself… Shinichi, you're not allowed to mess up tonight. Everything must follow your plans.

"We're almost there, Ran."

Sonoko, who was with Makoto, greeted the couple.

She whispered to Shinichi, "Ne, Are you ready for tonight? Don't mess up! Take care of my best friend."

"Wakatteru, ba'ro."

"Shinichi! Sonoko! What are you whispering to each other?"

"Ran, don't be jealous. I'm your best friend and I already have Makoto-san. (laughs)"

"Baka, not that I'm jealous. What did you say to him?"

"Himitsu, you'll know that later. I bet that something good will happen tonight. (laughs)"

"Geez. This will be a long night."

Ran and Shinichi were together for the whole night. They never left each other's side. The program comes to an end and the prom king and queen would be announced. Of course, the famous high school tantei who was gone for so long was chosen to be the prom king. Every girl in that hall hoped that she would be the prom queen. Minna were surprised when Ran Mouri was called as the prom queen.

(Shinichi) Everything's on the right track. Just as planned. (giggles) You're mine now, Ran.

Ran came to the stage and received her crown. The couple should start the dance but Shinichi suddenly snatched the microphone from the emcee.

"Minna-san, please listen to me for a moment."

Everyone looked at Shinichi curiously. Murmurs started to echo in the room.

"Everyone knows that Ran and I are…uhmm…you know…and minna's calling us husband and wife which I really don't mind (laughs)"

Ran interrupted, "(annoyed)Nanda, Shinichi? What are trying to say?"

"(whispers)Stay still, Ran." Shinichi continued his speech. " I just want to make things official."

"Ran, I don't accept no as an answer and it'll be a shame if you reject me in front of everyone…"

Ran gazed at Shinichi. "Whatever, baka. I don't know what you are trying to do here."

"Mouri Ran, Can I change your surname to Kudo? Well, I said I would not take no as an answer. (laughs)"

The high school tentei then popped out a diamond ring.

"Baka, how can we? We're still in high school!"

"Well, I'll take that as a yes, Kudo Ran. (laughs) Everything's prepared and our parents have already allowed our marriage. There will be no problem."

"I guess that I can't do anything. (red) Hai, Shinichi, I'll marry you."

Everyone was yelling, "Kissu! Kissu!"

Shinichi then quickly pressed his lips to Ran's. They both went down from the stage, not minding what others think.

The dance started and everyone joined the couple in the dance floor. After a few songs, Shinichi and Ran went to see Sonoko and Makoto.

Shinichi hugged Sonoko, "Thanks for the help, Sonoko-san."

"Baka, don't make my friend wait again or else. I'm happy for the both of you. Ran, congrats I hope I'll get a proposal like that. (laughs)"

"Sonoko, that was so embarrassing."

Makoto then planned a similar proposal and he asked Shinichi for an advice.

"That surely took a lot of courage, ne?"

"Oh, but I'm pretty sure that you can also do that. (laughs)"

"Ran, let's go home…to my house of course. Our parents prepared a small party for us. Sonoko, Makoto, come with us."

The four then went to Kudo's residence. Shinichi and Ran were officially engaged. Marriage is soon.
