"You may kiss your bride"

Thunderous clapping filled the church as Heiji bent down and passionately kissed Kazuha. Much to everyone's amusement Sonoko let out a shrill whistle, which caused Kazuha and Heiji to break up their kiss both of their cheeks flushed scarlet.

"What?" she scoffed in response to Ran's glare. "It took Heiji decades as it is to realize what he felt for Kazuha was love. Last time I checked didn't he used justify his feelings for her by calling her his follower?"

Ran smiled. Even after Heiji finally realized that he loved Kazuha, his cowardliness would not allow him to tell her, in fear of rejection. It had taken Kazuha grabbing him by the collar and kissing him full on the mouth just to realize that she reciprocated those feelings. If only Shinichi would show up and tell her that he loved her too.

Shinichi. Just the thought of his name sent ripples of agony through Ran. She missed his cockiness, his passion for mysteries, and his determination for justice. She missed his azure blue eyes, and the way his hair seemed to always be styled perfectly to match his angled face. She missed him so much that a hole had been torn open in her chest which could never be filled by any other.

When Conan was here, he had numbed the ferocious pain which would claw at her chest every day. He reminded her so much of Shinichi that it was hard for her to think of him as a little six year old boy, and not the Sherlock Holmes freak that she had lost. Conan was like a drug to her. She depended on him to keep all the hurt, anger and frustration that threatened to tear her apart at bay, make her forget the feeling of dying inside. He had sewn up the hole in her chest, dulling the pain until all that was left was scars.

But now Conan was gone. His mother had come back from America about a year ago, saying that it was time for him to settle down with them, that she had got a stable job and was able to support him now. Conan had left with her quickly barely leaving her time to say goodbye. The pain which he managed to numb off then came back in a vicious fury, gnawing at the hole which had nearly been healed off. Nothing had meaning anymore. She went along her daily life, but she couldn't muster up the energy she once had. Everything just felt dead. Even her high school graduation didn't hold much excitement for her. According to Kazuha, Heiji had disappeared at the same time as Conan, though he had come back just two weeks ago and proposed. Proposed. Ran hadn't seen Shinichi in a good three years, and Kazuha was already married. If only…

"Ran? Heelloooo! Ran, are you there?" Sonoko asked, an extremely annoyed expression crossing her face.

"Sorry what did you say?" Ran asked. "I was just…thinking. Can you repeat what you just said?"

Sonoko sighed. "Ran, this isn't healthy. You've been like this since Conan left! You need to snap out of the depression phase, and start getting your life back!"

Ran flinched. "I do have a life! I talk to you and Kazuha all the time!"

Sonoko shook her head. "Whatever you say Ran. Anyway, as I was saying, there is going to be a moonlight dance at the reception of the wedding. You are going whether you like it or not."

Ran gave her a sideways look. "Why? What are you planning?" She asked suspiciously.

"I'm getting your life back," Sonoko said, with a smirk. She spun around and stalked away, her blood red dress trailing behind her.

Ran let out a gush of air. It was going to be a long night.

"All clear," Sonoko whispered into a Bluetooth. "She doesn't suspect a thing"

The man on the other side of the Bluetooth smiled enigmatically, his vibrant blue eyes alive with anticipation.

"Let the plan commence."

O.o Who is on the other end of the line? And what will happen at the moonlight dance?
