Mission Improbable.

[dynamic-brat.livejournal.com]

This particular Shinichi prides himself on stealth. Discreet appearances and exits, undetectable surveillance, shadowing -- there is little about stalking he doesn't know (note: this isn't necessarily a good thing). There's just one thing.

He's not Shinichi any more.

The lack of height is in many ways a plus. Who is going to suspect a seven-year-old of following them? That's if he can avoid truant officers of course. The rest of it, however--

It needs work. And that is precisely what Conan is doing.

It's night. You might be in the library when you hear a strange noise. Have the feeling you're being watched in the kitchen. See something shift just on the edge of your vision as you make your way down the corridors to bed.

Whatever you're doing, you're not alone.

"Kaito's good. But you've always got to look out for those times when he's just plain being stupid with you."

"Really? That'd be great!"

[dynamic-brat.livejournal.com]

"Which is basically all the time." Kaito is not being forgiven for that for a while it seems.

"Now?"

[shrunkenvamp.livejournal.com]

"More or less, yeah." You're getting sympathy. As his older self, Kaito's a certifiable prankster. This Conan probably didn't stand a chance.

"Maybe not now! Give everyone time to find out about it first, all right?"

[dynamic-brat.livejournal.com]

"All right." Conan considers. "Tomorrow?"

[shrunkenvamp.livejournal.com]

"Tomorrow!"

"I'm going to tell Ran!"

[shrunkenvamp.livejournal.com]

"She can come watch!"

Conan paused abruptly. That would be ...

He looked down. "Maybe she'll be busy," he suggested diffidently. "And it's late. She's probably sleeping. And she doesn't like soccer that much."

"...you're right. Aw... Maybe we can convice some of the others to watch, then? Or we could just have one team playing and one team cheering."

"I know where Ran-kun stays. I bet he'd come and watch. Especially if his Conan wants to play too." And Conan doesn't think that Ran-kun will notice any slips he makes or be comparing him against other Shinichis.

"He- oh, yeah. I think I was told about.. him. He's welcome to come." Maybe being a guy made this Ran more into soccer? It was a possibility.

"I'll tell him," Conan decided, setting off to apparently do just that.
