OK, I promised this, and now it's here. Please enjoy it, although it's short.
Part Two Epilogue
Minami was grounded for three days for threatening such a prestigious teen as Heiji Hattori. Kazuha took it as a personal insult that Minami and Haibara had tried to do something so degrading to Heiji, so she had convinced Ran to extend her sentence.
Heiji had not investigated again. When he had left that night to return to Osaka, something on his face told Minami that he'd be back before long, and that she was in trouble when it happened.
Ai Haibara was in a distinctly cheerier mood. Her bond with Minami might have been unnoticed by everyone at first, but it soon became apparent that they were indeed close friends, closer even that Ran and Sonoko.
Sera had not dropped the subject of Minami. So now she had to deal with Sera attempting to find out her secret. But unlike Heiji, Sera wasn't easy to persuade. As a girl herself, she didn't care about playing with the little girls, but she got frustrated whenever they dropped their normal 'adult-like' personas in favor of their 'little girl' ones.
About a week after all this was going on, Kogoro made a remark one day that would eventually lead to another lead to the Organization.
"You know, with the popularity of the Internet nowadays, why doesn't the agency make a website? We'd bring in a ton more clients!" 'And a ton more hot babes!' Kogoro added to himself.
'He just wants more money for beer,' thought Minami irritably, turning back to the book she was reading.
"That's actually not a bad idea Dad," said Ran, poking her head out from the kitchen. "Maybe than I can afford to pay back Shinichi for the time he took me for the restaurant."
"Forget that kid," said Kogoro. "He paid for it with his dad's credit card, right? They have a ton of money, so they can afford it. We don't, which is why we need the website." He popped open a can of beer and began chugging it.
"Well, if you want a website so bad, then how about you make us one?" asked Ran in a falsely sweet voice.
"Uh, well, I…I don't really, well, I don't think I'd do a good job at it," Kogoro stammered.
'You have no clue where to even begin, do you?' asked Minami, sighing inwardly. 'I guess I'd better bail him out, as per the usual.'
"Ran-neechan, Agasa-hakase showed me how to make one!"
"Oh would you, Minami-chan? That'd be so helpful!"
And so, Minami Edogawa was charged with making the Agency's website, which in turn prompted a bloody murder in the agency's bathroom, which in turn led to the next Organization confrontation.
END OF PART TWO
Now for the usual end of story stuff. Although this chapter says 'epilogue', it is only the epilogue for this part. I plan on writing more to this series as time passes. Heiji and Kazuha will likely make reappearances later, but not for a while. You all noticed I changed the description, right? That's why: I'm saving that idea.
Part Three could be one of many things. I could do a Kid heist, a Ayumi vs. Haibara confrontation (highly unlikely), I could set a BO thing up based on the File 800 arc, and more! I haven't decided! I accept requests from anyone, and I'll be looking through Part One for unused ideas, too. Or you can come up with one of your own! In the meantime, I will be working on other stories, so you'll have to deal with those for the next few months.
The end of this story sets up the File 800 stuff being serialized right now. As of this writing, it is still ongoing. Therefore, I can't even consider writing Part Three until the arc ends and after the immediate aftermath.
Finally, I sincerely thank everyone who has reviewed and stayed loyal even though I never updated much for a while. I enjoy reading your reviews more than you can imagine. Plus, they give me the willpower to keep writing. And I set a record! 41 reviews (not counting this epilogue) is the most I've ever had for a story, and I've written longer stories. So thanks again!
CoolKid94, signing off until next time!
PS: Do not file a 'Story Alert' from this point on. You're just wasting five seconds of your life. Now, an 'Author Alert' is more than OK, and will tell you when I post Part Three. Use it instead so you won't make me mad.
