Disclaimer: I don't-and never will-own Detective Conan, no matter how many characters from the series I claim in various blogcrews. Aoyama Gosho is the lucky dude who does.
Notes: Set some months after the Kogoro/Eri case (Files 1-3) in Volume 27.
Summary: Eri had her daughter's MD for far too long now.
It seemed nothing more than the usual phone call from her daughter: Ran telling her about the latest happenings in her life, chattering with pride about her father's latest cases, asking her when will she finally come home, but then . . .
"Say, Mom,"-there was a momentary pause-"when are you going to give back my MD? You've had it for months!"
"Oh, is that so?"-Eri's eyes widened in surprise; she hated to admit it, but her daughter was right-"How about I get you a new one, then? There's a song in there which I really love listening to very much." Sans the slight blushing, she said those words with a hint of nonchalance; it shouldn't be too hard to get a replacement, right?
"Really?" replied Ran, her interest piqued, "Which song is that?"
The seasoned-not to mention undefeated-defense lawyer found herself stammerring and blushing furiously; it's a good thing they weren't talking face to face; she didn't have any choice now: "Ah, Ran, I have to go now; a client of mine is coming over in a few minutes-bye!"
Considering how I constantly reread the case from which this little slice of fic was inspired from, I can't believe I only came up with the idea just recently! And yeah, it's a weird interpretation of the theme, but I couldn't find any other that would suit the fic better!
Oh yeah, I'm offering fics again at

It's a day in advance, but have a great Mother's Day, everyone! Until next time!
