So in this story Ariadne and Arthur got married and have kids. Arthur is now telling the story about the relationship he had with Ariadne until the present day. If you watch the tv show "how I met your mother", you'll understand. So Arthur tells his kids the events from meeting Ariadne until "now". I hope you enjoy it and please review! Arthur is narrating btw.
YEAR 2025
I was reading the paper in the living room; I wasn't alone though. My 12-year-old son, Ian, was playing his video game on the couch across me. Ariadne was in her bedroom (which is near the living room) probably drawing. For the past 15 years she's been drawing almost everything. Some things just never change. My 10-year-old daughter, Becky, approached me. But for now, a little back story.
The team has scattered now, although we still keep in contact. After the Fischer inception, we kept on doing that for about 10 years, except that after the Fischer inception the team figured out that inception and extraction was suppose to be made for good. So we stopped stealing and planting ideas for people who wanted to "eliminate the competition". So we started on extracting and planting ideas to stop crime. We would extract information from criminals for the police, army…etc. And we would also plant ideas so they can "turn their life around". The payment was handsomely paid. We all retired because we wanted to do something else than going to people's dreams. The army founded a new team to replace us, although I'm not quite sure it's going well.
Cobb returned to his family after the Fischer project, and right now he's been very happy with his kids, James and Phillipa, who would sometimes come and play with Becky and Ian. Eames now travels a lot around the world, seeing different places. He would visit whenever he can. The kids love him because he's such a joker. Yusuf left Mombasa and settled down in an apartment (more like condo); He now teaches chemistry in UCLA. Yusuf would also sometimes come by and teach the kids a little chemistry. Once they blew a hole in the roof because of a rocket made out of tin cans and some chemistry stuff. From that on, Ariadne always asks Yusuf on what they are going to do. Ariadne and I got married and had Ian and Becky. Ariadne is now a very successful architect and I'm doing very well with my business.
"Dad?"
I stopped reading the paper and looked at Becky.
"Yes, Becky?"
"How did you and mom meet?"
I was taken aback by the question. Even Ian stopped playing his game and looked at me.
"How did mom and I meet? Why do you ask?" I asked.
"'Cause I watch movies of people falling in love and live happily ever after and I was wondering if you and mom were the same."
"I can guarantee on the happily ever after there, Becky." I laughed. "You might want to sit down. It's a pretty long story."
YEAR 2010
Arthur wandered around his apartment. He was waiting a phone call from Cobbs, who said that he had found a new architect. "He… or she better be good" Arthur thought. "Better not fail us like Nash did. That bastard." Arthur's phone began to ring.
"Hello." Arthur said picking it up.
"We got her." Cobb said. "I want you to prepare the equipment in the warehouse now."
"You're bringing her to the dream world? Now? You just met her."
"I'm sure she can take it." Cobb chuckled a little. Then he hanged up.
"Is this how you met mom?" Becky asks.
"Not yet." I smiled as I continue my story.
Arthur sighed as he went to pick the metal case. He went to his car and drove to the warehouse. When he arrived, Arthur opened the case and began setting up the equipment until a few minutes later, Cobb and the new architect entered the warehouse.
"What was your first impression of mom?" Ian asked. He had stopped playing his video game and began listening to the story.
"Well… my first impression would probably be that she was so young. Most of the architects I work with are pretty old. Your mom was 23 years old when I met her for the very first time. I was 29." I said.
"Was it love at first sight?" Becky asks.
"Not really." I smiled. "Though she was very pretty."
"Arthur, I would like you to meet, Ariadne, a college student of Miles." Cobb said as he introduced her to Arthur. "Ariadne, Arthur. Arthur, Ariadne."
"Please to meet you Arthur." Ariadne said as she shook Arthur's hand.
"And to you." Arthur smiled.
Ariadne smiled back.
"Would you please sit down here Ariadne." Cobbs said, grabbing a chair for her to sit down.
"What are we gonna do?" Ariadne said.
"We're going to inject you with this wire, and you're going to go to sleep.
"You should've seen your mother's face when Uncle Cobb said this." I told my kids with a smile.
"Wha-at?" Ariadne stuttered, looking terrified.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. Just relax and go to sleep." Arthur said. Ariadne nodded as Arthur injected her and she began to fall asleep.
"And until now, it puzzles me how your mom trusted me right away, even though we've just met." I said.
