[Lilo yawns, a big yawn. But it stops short.]

...huh, wha? 

[This isn't where she went to bed. This isn't her room. Where's Scrump? Where's the smell of her sister's coffee, the picture she keeps under her pillow? Out of the bed she goes, still in her mint-colored sleeping gown.]

...Where am I? 

This isn't my house!

[A groan.] 

This doesn't look too much like an alien spaceship... I don't think that they took me from earth...

Then what's going on here?!

Holmes is the best detective! He's always calm and logical, and here isn't any case he can't solve.

Do you know anything about detective work?

[rockthehula.livejournal.com]

Yeah! If I was ever a detective, I'd want to be just like him.
Uhh... I know you need a cool hat, a magnifying glass and a trusty side-kick! Then you look for clues to figure out the case!

That's just how you play detective.

To become a real detective you have to train your abilities of observation and deduction, and you have to educate your mind. I've been teaching myself how to solve codes, and I've been learning about forensics too.

Hey, I can do more than just play detective! But you have to look like one if you want to be one! I can educate my mind. If you want to, I want to learn how to crack codes and things!

Appearance has nothing to do with it. What makes a detective is all in the mind.

[rockthehula.livejournal.com]

Well... I guess so. You can still be a detective without the hat and fancy coat.

A detective is cool and calculating and observant. He can look at any scene and easily pick out the relevant evidence.

[rockthehula.livejournal.com]

Right! I think I can do that. It just takes time to learn it! Right?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

And you have to work really hard at it.

[rockthehula.livejournal.com]

Right! I didn't think it'd be easy.
