AN: Originally a speedfic for Lurker Day September, 2010. Enjoy!

It had been awhile since Ran had looked down properly at her desk to see the various photos of her and Shinichi spread upon it in various frames and mosaics.

There were simply too many of them and after a whole year now since Shinichi's disappearance, Ran decided it was best if she put all but one in a photo album.

Conan Edogawa, the formerly cocky Kudou Shinichi, sat down in his father's chair in the Kudou mansion as Shinichi's cell phone rang. The ringing resounded in the vast library he and his father had amassed.

It didn't take a genius to know who was calling. It was Ran and it was already the second time in a week. Taking a deep breath, he pressed answer and spoke into the bow tie to mimic his real voice.

"Shinichi?"

"Hi Ran."

Ran looked down at the photos on her desk.

"What's your fondest memory of me?" she blurted into the receiver.

Conan could feel his cheeks turning red, "Ran, I'm a little busy."

"Shinichi," Ran kept her voice even, "Just answer please."

He looked up toward the ceiling, "Tropical Land."

Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank-"

Shinichi's words rambled into her ear, talking over her, "There were so many things I was going to tell you that day. That I'm going to tell you one day."

Ran could feel her own face turn red, "Well you better hurry! I can't wait forever you know!"

"I'll hurry Ran... So we can have more memories."

She heard the dial tone ring in her ear before she could say anything else. On the other side of Beika-chou, Conan sat in depressing silence.
