What if Shinichi was not turned into Conan until much later in the story? Then everything would be different and every case he worked would be different and he would have a much different relationship with everyone else and everything else would change.

What if Shinichi never followed Gin and Vodka that night?

This is what this story is all about.

He was watching the two mysterious men in black he was curious to who and what exactly what they were and why they were here at an amusement of all places?

He wanted to follow them and find out what they were up to but he was a date with Ran he was not sure what to do. The date was already ruined anyway because of the murder and it did not seem like Ran knew it was a date anyway. Probably because of his nervous rambling about Sherlock Holmes but Ran did not see through his rambling and was just annoyed by it.

Ran was crying and upset as well and everything he was saying right now was just making her more upset and he did not want to make her cry anymore. He was going to follow the two men in black and the eerie feeling he was getting from them.

He said his goodbye and it felt strange like he was saying goodbye forever and he did not want to look back as he was waving happily.

But he decided to look back and he could see Ran on the ground crying. She had fallen chasing after him and her shoelace was broken which had caused her to fall. He stood still staring at the two choices he could make and he ran towards the girl he loved to help her up instead of following the two men in black. But what ran through his head would he ever regret making this decision instead? Was this the best decision that he had ever made or was it the worst decision he would ever make?
