Yay random friendship fluff! X3 **SQUEE!** I love how Conan really has to stop and think about the answer, and what he comes up with.

*glomps* Thank you, hon! :D

Aww, so cute! *loves* Especially Conan realizing that no, if it hadn't been for the shrinkage, he and Heiji would never have been friends. *Heiji probably wouldn't have liked SHINICHI that much, either, IMO, without the dose of humility the shrinkage gave him.* That's very insightful.

Of course, I have an AU chewing on my ankle where Shinichi was blinded by the attack in Tropical Land, and that does lead to Heiji and Shinichi hitting it off better. Again, the boy needed a dose of humility...

Thank you! :D Glad you liked it!

I don't think Heiji and Shinichi would have gotten the "friendly" part of "friendly rivals" quite so much if Conan hadn't shrunk. Although Shinichi's ego is still far too big...

...for the love of pie, please write that *g* It's an awesome idea, and you're one of the best writers in the fandom, so it's bound to be an awesome fic *mild hero-worship goes here*

*will stop sounding like a freak now*

In Shin'ichi's mild defense, though he considers himself mentally superior to much of humanity, he does have a sense of his own limitations; he just gets so gung-ho over cases that he charges ahead recklessly. Hence Tropical Land.

He also possesses a firm belief in justice and a right to life that checks his passion for codes and puzzles within crime solving. Heiji's problem at their first meeting, after all, was that he was more determined to beat Shin'ichi than anything else.

Given the way Aoyama draws cases, I could see Shin'ichi still being in that position to scold Heiji and impress him with that sense of justice. Since their first meeting prompted Heiji to find Shin'ichi again, they might've still become friends. It would be a fascinating AU (not that you must write it, nope). ^__~

*whistles and wanders*

Heh. Thanks, Candy. :) I've been playing with their first meeting, but it kind of got bogged down. Maybe I should have Ran come in and tell them there's a case... Hmm...

>__< weeee i don't even want to think about them not meeting in the way they did
*shriek* they would probably never end up beeing the good friends they are now O__O
*insert heart attack here*

[candyfics]

I know. It's a very interesting question--would they have gotten along this well if they hadn't met under those circumstances? I don't think it would have been the same at all ^^

Thanks!
