It was strange traveling with a train alone. Well, that isn't really strange, but it is strange if your appearance is about five years old. And even stranger if the trip lasts about an hour. Marie sat on a seat looking at the slowly turning scenery outside the opposite window. It was now decided her age was five. She would be going to the same school and class as Conan though due to 'unusual intelligence'. She knew it, because she had Agasa-hakase do it for her. They would start tomorrow. It would be strange to start in grade school, but she could deal with it. At least she wouldn't be the only shrunken teen there.
As for now, her stop would come soon. Taking her backpack, Marie jumped down the seat and walked to the gigantic door. Less than a minute flew by and the train stopped with a hiss. Careful not to get stomped on Marie leapt out fast and ran up some stairs only to get down the next ones and stop at the bottom. She started digging her backpack and small hands clutched on a map. It was from Ekoda. There were two red circles marked on the map. One was Ekoda High School and the other the train station. Quickly glancing at her surroundings Marie folded the map neatly, putting it in her bag and started running towards the school. She had three hours to look for that crazy prankster magician.

"Excuse me, sir!", Marie heard her small voice say to a bypasser.
The man glanced down, but didn't stop there. He just walked away like Marie wasn't real. The girl sent the retreating back a glare. That was rude! Why doesn't anyone help a five year old here? Marie sighed and decided to try another tactic.
Not long after a teenage girl came beside the 'crying' child to ask what's wrong.
"Hey, it's okay! Are you lost?", she asked Marie who stopped crying immediately.
Her sky blue eyes snapped to the girl to see Ran's features but with messy hair and slight differences.
Lucky!
She returned the tear act.
"You're the first to talk to me!", she sobbed quietly, "I'm not lost", another sob, "I'm looking for someone", this time hiccup, "And no one helps me!"
Aoko hushed the child and Marie slowly dropped the act making it look quite natural. It's good she memorized the tips Conan told her yesterday.
"Now then, who are you looking for?", Aoko asked her still gently patting her back.
"Thanks. I'm looking for Kuroba Kaito-niisan. Do you know him?"
The hand stopped. Then started shaking. Oh. He must have done a prank to her not so long ago.
"Yeah, Aoko knows that Bakaito", Aoko clenched her hand into a fist.
Yup! He definitely pranked her. The teenager sighed and dropped her fist.
"Why are you looking for that big idiot?", she asked.
Marie grinned and got a surprised look from the teenager. Oh yeah! She must look like a little girl version of Kaito as she looks like Conan too.
"Magic! Can you tell me where he is?"
"Well, Aoko does know where he is... Ah! Aoko could take you there! It's a park close to here. What's your name?", Aoko said and asked taking her hand.
"Edogawa Marie!"
"Nakamori Aoko. Nice to meet you, Marie-chan!"
"Nice to meet you, Aoko-neechan!"

First appeared some juggling balls. There were all sorts of them as Kaito replaced them with different colors all the time. The kids around him cheered, but Marie just looked, fascinated. It was even more awesome to see it in real life. Aoko had decided not to meet him, so she left her at the edge of the park, where she could go and blend in the crowd of children. She probably looked like the youngest of the group.
