Prior to the event, my story began here. I was entering the Teitan Elementary School and there, somebody waited for me.

"Conan-kun! Glad you're here. Have you heard the news?"

"Hmm? What news?" I asked.

Yup, that's me. Edogawa Conan, real name: Kudo Shinichi, the famous high school detective who transformed into a child and the son of the famous Kudo Yusako and Kudo Yukiko. I'm also pretty famous as Shinichi. But as Conan? Not quite hehe. But who cares about my body's small but my mind's still unchanged.

"The news. It's about the 'Miss Japanesque' competition will held in Tokyo Bell Tree Hotel tonight."

"I already heard that news and so what? Is it important to you?" I asked.

"Yeah, because Ayumi want to attend it." replied Ayumi. "How 'bout you?"

The little girl that I talked with was Yoshida Ayumi. She's one of my classmates and she's primarily innocent and naive. I don't care that she has a crush on me but I'm feeling a little uncomfortable that she had been kissed me twice... on a cheek.

"Me? Attend the Miss Japanesque competition? I'm not sure but I heard that Sonoko-neechan invited Ran-neechan to attend."

"Miss Japanesque?! Wow! I want to attend that too." said Mitsuhiko.

"Me too! I'm sure a lot of food to eat there." added Genta.

Oh yeah, those two boys are Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko and Kojima Genta. They're also one of my classmates. Mitsuhiko is quite smart and he took scientific approach when it comes to problem solving. Genta is quite brash, outspoken and intimidating and he loves nothing but food.

"Wow. You too? That would be great. We could watch the competition together." said Ayumi.

"YAY!!!" they said.

"Oh yeah, what about...?"

"Me?"

"Haibara-san." called Mitsuhiko.

"I'm not sure that I'll come but you three surely have a problem."

"What do you mean, Ai-chan?" asked Ayumi.

"What would your parents say? Do you think they'll agree with that?"

By the way, this is my ally who was also shrunk like me. She's Haibara Ai, real name: Miyano Shiho, former member of the Black Organization. She's calm and cool with sarcastic wit and high intelligence. But she tried to keep me from doing reckless things that may give away our true identities. Hehe.

"You're right." said Mitsuhiko.

"Do you think it's okay for them?" asked Ayumi.

"Of course." replied Genta, "They're always agree when we have to go anywhere. I think."

But he was wrong. After they encountered their parents and asked, they all said "no".

"Awww! Ayumi wanna attend the competition." said Ayumi feeling disappointed.

"This is disappointing." added Genta.

"Lucky for you two. I think you still have a chance to attend." said Mitsuhiko to me and Haibara.

"I don't think I have a chance to attend." said Haibara, "I better get back home."

"Yeah. Well for the meantime, I have to go to the hospital." I said, "So see ya."

"Bye-bye!" called Ayumi.

Later that afternoon...

"Conan-kun. I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What is it, Ran-neechan?" I asked.

"Do you think we could go there later in these clothes? We don't have much time to change."

Oh! I almost forgot. She is my childhood friend, Mouri Ran. Deep down, she's a good gal, but she's also strong in karate which she won the Karate Tournament. But one thing, we weren't dating and she is not my girlfriend........... yet.

"Well, it's okay for me." I replied.

"Well, we have to wait for her. She'll be here any moment to take care of him." said Ran.

Few minutes later...

"Ah! Ran-neechan. There she is." I said and I pointed to the woman in the distance as the woman walked towards us.

"Aunt Eri."

"Mom. Glad you're here." said Ran.

"I heard your call. So you want to let me to take care of your dad while you're gone? Where are you going?" she asked.

"Oh. Sonoko invited me to attend the Miss Japanesque competition. For the meantime, you should have to take care of him." replied Ran.

Oh, that's Ran's mom, Kisaki Eri. She suited her occupation as a lawyer who never loses a case and she's a good friend of my mom. But she and her husband had been separated since Ran was seven years old, pending their divorce.

"That old man. Always up to trouble." sighed Eri, "I think you two should go. I'll take care of him."

"Thanks, mom. Come on, Conan-kun."

"Ah, Ran-neechan, you know that he's now in a hospital, who will took his place to go there?"

"Don't worry, Conan-kun. I've called someone else." replied Ran with a smile.
