Between Past and present
Adam was overcome with exhaustion so he decided to sleep for a while so that he could wake up early for tomorrow. However a weird feeling came over him and he clutched his head quickly, he felt giddy and collapsed on the floor moving like he was in a seizure shrieking in his mind "What is going on with my body?" No sooner after he thought this then he was unconscious. He wouldn't even dream of what adventure would await him.
40 years earlier...
Luke Triton was striding down the street to get to the university that his personal friend and mentor worked at. However the door was slammed open and a very angry Rosetta stormed out growling very horrid words the poor boy wouldn't hear until he was sixteen! Soon after that unpleasant business was completed, Luke walked into the professor's room in the university where a very angry professor Layton was "Erm professor?" he questioned "what was up with Ms Stone back there?" The professor replied rather wearily "she tried to make a move on me again Luke!" Luke sighed and said "why in the name of puzzles doesn't she ever give up?" The professor laughed at that and replied "No idea my boy!"
As soon as he said that a small quake started with a very terrified Luke leaping into the arms of a very shocked professor the quake soon stopped after a couple of minutes followed by a shriek of "Ouch!". "Professor what was that?" Luke asked to which a horrified professor who looked out of the window replied "Luke follow me quickly!" and ran fast as he could down the stairs with a very confused Luke following behind. Hershel stopped at the door to his horror that a injured young man with dirty blonde hair like Luke's and wearing a white shirt and black trousers was crawling out of a very large hole mumbling "That's the last time I go to bed early!" the boy immediately looked up and saw a very bemused professor asking if he was alright.
"Yes I'm fine thanks for asking!" He replied wringing his hands to make sure that he could get some blood into them. Luke then asked "who are you?" to which a very friendly reply came back "my name is Adam my friend thank you for asking, now what's yours?" "Luke Triton and this here is Professor Hershel Layton" a very proud Luke replied. Adam smiled "I have heard many things about you Professor, but first I was wondering if you could help me get inside and get some new clothes out for me as I have a feeling that I am not presentable to you at the moment!" The professor smiled and said "of course Adam come with me." Hershel helped Adam down the street by placing his arm across his shoulders with blood leaking out of his leg.
As soon as they got home Flora was waiting for them and asked them what took so long followed by a gasp of shock as she saw Adam being helped along by Hershel. "Flora run hot water quickly, our new friend needs some help!" the professor yelled ,Flora ran back inside and completed the task set for her by her guardian and watched as Hershel and Luke helped a limping Adam upstairs. As soon as they got to the bathroom Luke asked if Adam needed help to which Adam replied "No thank you Luke I'm fine but thanks for asking!" Luke smiled and went downstairs while Hershel gave Adam clothes about his size which included a black shirt and some brown trousers.
The professor waited for an hour to see if Adam came out to which in his astonishment he did, with his hair washed and cleaned up by himself. Adam smiled "thank you for the clothes Hershel they fit perfectly!" he said. Hershel laughed and said "Well at least you look presentable to Flora!" Adam laughed too "Indeed!" Flora ran all the way up the stairs and saw the two older men laughing she then rushed towards the professor and asked "Professor who is this?" "I will answer that question, my name is Adam and you must be Flora, thank you for running me hot water it cleaned me right up" Adam said smiling down at her Flora. Flora nodded her head happily with her doe eyes lit up. At once Luke shouted up "Professor ,Ms Stone is coming towards the house" Hershel panicked "DOESN'T THAT WOMAN GIVE UP?" He frantically yelled. Adam however did not panic and told the professor to stay in his bedroom and not make a sound and told Flora to go downstairs with Luke and keep her out as long as possible.
Adam meanwhile knew Rosetta would not give up easily getting to the professor, so Adam decided that he should stay up there. And watched as a furious Student rushed up the stairs towards him "Out of the way" she snarled Adam narrowed his eyes and snarled back "Not a chance!" punctuating every word. Flora and Luke watched timidly as Adam stood up to Rosetta "Hershel is not here so back off!" he growled "Fine" she snarled at Adam but before she left slapped him across the face and pushed him down the stairs. "Hope you aren't alright JERK!" she yelled as she crossed over Adam's injured body and with a slam of the door left the household.
Luke and Flora ran to the assistance of their new friend who held his cheek and left arm snarling "rghh I now REALLY hate that stupid woman!" Luke realised Adam was alright but still helped him onto the sofa "Will you be alright?" Flora asked upset. Adam looked up at her and smirked "I will be fine Flora!" Flora smiled at that and wrapped Adam's left arm in a bandage. The professor came downstairs and told Luke and Flora to have their lunch. Layton stayed behind and told Adam "you were very brave standing up to a love struck Rosetta, not many people have done that!" Adam laughed "Last time too due to her having a good hand that slaps hard!"
"I know I heard it from my bedroom. But are you ok Adam?" he questioned they teenager "Yes a few bumps and bruises but I'll be fine Professor." At once a knock came to the door so Luke answered it only to close it quickly "PROFESSER IT'S BELLE!" Hershel and Adam's eyes widened and both said "Say you're not interested in her!" "Alright" and after 10 seconds of silence Luke reappeared with a sad look "She wouldn't listen but she's gone now!" Adam relaxed in the sofa and rested for a while. Meanwhile the Professor, Luke and Flora let Adam rest.
While Adam was resting Belle visted again looking her "Flukey" Adam heard a growl of "I DON'T LOVE YOU BELLE!" coming from Luke and slammed the door in front of Belle's face. Luke walked into the room Adam was resting in and asked "I hope you didn't hear that Adam did you?" Adam just grinned "Your secrets are safe with me Luke otherwise i would have told Flora by now wouldn't I?" Luke beamed down at Adam "Thanks Adam!" "Anytime my young friend!" Adam yawned and fell asleap.
