Conan-kun ignored me all day the other day. He sounded upset, but he wouldn't tell me why...

I thought we were past the point of keeping secrets from each other?

Mou...

Sandy-chan? We haven't talked in a while! Can I ask you something?

Sandy-chan? Are you there?

Would you like to go out for some ice cream?

Everyone make sure to wish Conan-kun happy birthday today!

Conan-kun, I'm going to treat you to lunch at Jinx's tea house today, alright?

((Where there is a surprise party waiting for him, if he hasn't figured it out already orz :|))

Conan-kun's birthday is on May 4th. I was wondering if anyone would like to help me plan a surprise birthday party for him? It will definitely be a surprise too, since he never remembers. The dork.

I'm... I'm eight again!

W-why is this happening?! Is it another virus...?!

Um... it was my turn to cook tonight, too. Aoko-chan... could you take over for me?

This is not amusing. It is highly inappropriate.

O-oh, Renamon--!

I demand whoever turned my fur purple return me to my normal shade at once.

We haven't heard from LOT lately. I'm so glad we haven't...

Does anybody here ever wonder how the people you left back at home are handling your disappearance? I haven't talked to my Dad or my friend Kazuha-chan in so long. I hope they're not worried about me.

I wish there was some way for me to tell them I was okay.

Shinichi Conan-kun chose the worst time to be sent home.

[The D-comm clicks on after something bumps into it, and almost immediately a loud 'hiiiiiiya!' is heard. This is followed by the sound of something swinging through the air and making contact, along with feet skidding across the ground. It's clearly the sound of a fight, although not a particularly dangerous or serious one]

Posture, Ran-san.

I know, Renamon!

[Ran grunts once and throws another punch, which Renamon blocks (all of this is heard, of course) The fight continues for a little bit longer, until it finally stops]

Much better.

Thank you!

Now you must learn to control your emotions in battle.

[Ran laughs sheepishly]

I-I know, Renamon. I'll keep trying, I promise-- oh? I must have turned on my D-comm while we were train--

[The comm clicks off]
