So this is kind of how it went. I know it sounds strange, but believe me, it's true. Too many people told me I was strange, mad, even. But I know, and I think he still does too, that I, am right.

"Layton?" I asked, before he left with one of my only true friends, who I'd probably never see again, leaving me feeling empty, he was taking away something I needed, even though I never acted like it, "Why? Do you even realise what this is doing to me?"

I was showing him a side I never had shown anyone, a sensitive, more depressed side. Me.

I felt myself break down in tears, but a firm grasp hoisted me up again. "My boy." He said calmly, "Do not think like that. You are capable of great things. My, you even started a whole market, without adultery help! You just need something to get you started. Here..." He opened up my palm, and placed 5 gold plated coins inside. "Go." He encouraged, "achieve your dreams. I believe in you!" An then he left. And so far in my life, I have never seen him since.

10 years after that day, and I had done just what Layton had thought I should had. I was a successful sales manager of a famous antique business. I have a family, and I would've said I was reasonably well off compared to other men my age. When this opportunity came up at work, I would be foolish to take it up, or so I thought.

My old childhood sweetheart, (but Luke would disagree, but he has a life of his own in America now, with an Irish girl he met on a train, apparently.), turned girlfriend Arianna had started a nice little family, with a daughter named Flora and a son called Clive. What I wouldn't do to see them again. Now its completely different

'WIN A TRIP TO THE MOON.' A flyer turned up on a notice board at work one morning. No one paid attention all day, it destroyed everyone's work ethic, even mine! I decided I was going to win. I did

Before I knew it, I was in America. On my way to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) centre. I had been selected a pair, and it just happened to be my Personal Assistant, Parcelle. I don't know why, but some particular reason, he came dressed as a fireman, instead of his usual "blue"-ness.

"Parcelle?" I asked him that day, " Why are you dressed as a fireman?"

"A fireman?" He exclaimed, shocked, "They all told me it was an astronaut costume!"

I couldn't help to laugh!

Thats all I can remember about that day, I don't exactly know what happened then, but I don't think it was just my faultly memory.

"Crow?" Parcelle's voice asked. When I woke, I was dressed like an astronaut and, well, on the moon!

"Um, one question. How did we get here?"
