He better. >:(
They're too cute to just DROP out of thin air.
But I don't think he will. There MUST be a purpose for AyumixConan if it's not canon (from both sides, anyways). And for some reason I'm willing to bet it has something to do with the organization....
No, I highly doubt that. The most obvious reason why Gosho created that pairing would be for the humorous aspect of Ayumi x Conan - a little girl falling in love with him because he is actually her age now. And because it is so irresistibly cute.
Making it both-sided would kinda defeat the purpose. Making it both-sided would mean that Conan has given up to become Shinichi, which is his motivation throughout the series. Becoming Shinichi, returning back to his normal life (which thanks to the "frozen time" is still waiting for him) and then being with Ran like nothing ever happened.
Ayumi's chance comes when Conan can not just return to Shinichi anymore. If he were missing from school for 1 year it should have consequences for him. At the very least when Ran enters university while he is still Conan (and thus can't enter with her), they would slowly drift apart. I mean, beside not being able to see each other properly for 1 year and everything.
Then being a child and being with Conan for at least the next 5 years in Elementary School would give Ayumi an actual advantage. And when Conan finally gives up on ever returning to his former life... well, at some point he just has to notice Ayumi. (No matter how clumsy he can be in love-issues.)
However, since I strongly think that Conan will get an antidote in the end (and at a time where he can return to be Shinichi without a problem), there has to be another solution for him and Ayumi. Maybe she will accept it (which means that she learns that her Conan is Shinichi-kun). She will come over it. Somehow. But how exactly... that is the exciting thing.
I don't think that falling for Ayumi means he's giving up as Shinichi. I think it just gives him another reason to stay as Conan- which he probably won't like very much! XD *Thinks of Conan with FFFFFFFFFF face* This'll make it tougher to choose.
Maybe he is walking her home after they dropped everybody else off and she tripped, causing him to catch her and get a clear view of her eyes. She looks up, eyes shimmering in the moonlight aaannd... *Snaps fingers* she's got him. (I know it won't be THAT easy but...) Then he may go home and start freaking out "OH MY GOD! WTH WAS THAT?! WHAT DID I JUST DO?!" so the love triangle between AyumixConanxRan TRULY begins.

(No, I don't
really think this scenario is going to happen... but it would be cute to see...)
I think there's more to them than that... Gosho usually doesn't do things just for the sake of them being cute.
Most character development is linked to a case.
I think that says something about what may go down with AyumixConan. And if it WERE just for it being cute...
Why make Haibara support it...?
Why carry it out like this? (We still see some AyuCon scenes every now and then.)
And if he already had them for that kind of reason why add the coupling of AixMitsuhiko?
And yeah. He'll probably get an antidote. But that doesn't mean Ayumi needs to give up. >:)
I mean, what if something were to HAPPEN to Ran...

(NOT implying Ayumi HERSELF killed her... just saying that maybe Ran isn't with him anymore...)
He'd be all devastated for a long time and Ayumi (innocently thinking she could help him) goes in to comfort him, not realizing she's acting a bit too cute and seducing him in his state of weakness.

Then before we know it, there's 18 year-old Ayumi, being cuddled by Shinichi.
This happens after he realizes how similar she is to Ran. (Which is how I think maybe something to Kobayashi-sensei's love case will take place, her thinking she's there just because she looks like his dead wife... girlfriend... friend... lover... whatever, and keeps her distance, not realizing he fell for her because he saw the woman she would become and knew that he wanted to be with that woman. (TOTALLY off-base with what's going to happen but is trying to say that Ayumi still has a chance even if he returns to Shinichi)
But I DO agree with the university statement. COME ON RAN! *Throws her bags* OUT OUT OUT! *kicks her out door* Go study in London or France or WHEREVER! Just STAY AWAY FROM JAPAN! *Locks door then chains Ayumi and Conan together* You two get along.
