Pranks Teaser

"What a haul, what a haul." Kid muttered to himself as he did his own brand of roof-hopping on his way home from that night's heist. It was a good night, the stars were shining, the wind was in a teasing mood and he was feeling pretty good with the world.

Until he noticed two shadows on the rooftop up a head. One large, one small in silhouettes that he rarely saw and yet was disturbingly familiar.

"If you require to know who we are..." The first voice called as he paused on the far edge, ready to fly away.

"...Listen to us, guys." The second voice came from the smaller figure, yet sounded suspiciously like the same voice from a popular kid's show.

"To guard against universal destruction!"

"To keep the universal peace!"

"Aw... no..." Kid covered his un-monocled half of his face with a hand. "They didn't."

"We carry out an evil of truth and love!"

"We are the lovely, charming villains!"

The taller figure stepped out and posed, dressed exactly like the Kid was, except for the colours. Lime green suit, gold shirt and red tie. "Hattori."

The second figure stepped out of the shadows and posed as well, his much smaller form in pale blue suit with a red shirt and purple tie. "Kudo."

Kid just stared. "They did..."

"We, Rocket Gang, travel any stars in the Galaxy-"

"A white hall - A white future is waiting for us!"

"That is so not right." Kid shook his head, weakly applauding anyway. "That is so very very wrong."

"See, Kudo?" Hattori beamed at his smaller companion. "I told you he'd find it amusing."

Conan snickered, putting the bow tie voice changer into a pocket.

"What in the world are you doing here anyway?" Kid asked, pleased to see his friends but slightly wary. He wasn't sure if their appearance was part of the Game, or something else.

"Eh, relax." Hattori drawled. "Kazuha decided she wanted to spend some quality time with Neechan, so I got dragged along. We got here too late to join in on the Game, so decided to see if we could startle you out of half a years worth of growth."

"It was his idea." Conan added dryly.

"Kazuha helped. She found the suits."

Kid raised an eyebrow, wondering about both Hattori and Kazuha's fashion sense. "Lime green?"

Hattori shrugged, obviously not find anything wrong with it. Conan shook his head. "We were wondering if you were interested in maybe grabbing a bite to eat?" The smallest detective invited. "-If you've got something less inconspicuous to wear."

"I assure you I can change clothes much fast than the 2 of you can." Kid answered back with a grin. "But while you're in the neighbourhood, care for a game of... poker?"
