Timeline:
Professor Layton: After Last Specter, but before Miracle Mask (cos I don't have the game yet) and WAY before Curious Village.
Doctor Who: Eleven/Amy/Rory. My second-favorite moment in Doctor Who history. I would've done my first-favorite, but I wanted to experiment with Rory meeting a very important Doctor Who character.
Professor Hershel Layton was driving his Laytonmobile. Emmy was next to him, drumming her fingers on the dashboard. Luke was in the back, trying not to fall asleep.
The Professor was watching the road very passionately. It had gotten very dark very fast, and he was worried. What was happening? And he was worried about the headlights of his car, which he had to turn onto full blast. Would they hold out?
It seemed like he was driving forever until he finally found a motel. He pulled into the parking lot, found a parking space, and started to get out of the car.
Emmy looked over at the Professor, excited. "What now, Professor?"
He looked over at her. "Now, we see if we can get a room," he said, as quietly and gentleman-like as normal.
Her face fell. She loved a good mystery. She craved it! Her first mystery, when they met Luke, was great. They had done a few mini-mysteries here and there, but she was looking for something like the first. Something big and important, that lasted for weeks! That could hold her for... about a month. And then she would need more. Fortunately, she was the Professor's assistant number one, so she would have a good chance of finding something to answer her craving. Who knows? There could be a mystery hiding in that very motel!
PUZZLE #1: Moving the Sleeping Luke 1
It turned out that getting Luke out of the car would prove to be a mystery in itself. He actually fell asleep on a blanket, and neither Emmy or the Professor could lift him, or even wake him up.
"Hmm," the Professor said, staring at Luke. "How should we do this?"
"We can't wake him," Emmy said.
"We can't lift him," the Professor said.
"We certainly can't leave him in the car,"
"He wouldn't like that," he turned to her. "So how should we do this?"
She frowned and stared at Luke, figuring out option after option. "I got it!" she finally exclaimed, snapping her fingers, and soon they were all in the motel.
(end of puzzle)
The Professor and Emmy left Luke in a chair in the lobby as they got their room, and by the time they returned to him, he was already yawning and stretching.
"Where are we?" he sleepily asked.
"In the Ride Motel," Emmy answered. "The Professor got us a room. You're going to have to get up so we can go to our room,"
PUZZLE #2: Moving the Sleeping Luke 2:
Luke snuggled up in the chair. "Don't wanna move," he muttered, his eyes drooping. "Too tired to move,"
"Professor!" Emmy exclaimed, looking up at him.
He sighed. "Hmm..." his eyes widened as he saw a couple useful objects nearby. "I think I know how to lift him again."
And soon they were on their way.
(end of puzzle)
The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS and turned to face Amy. "So, here we are!"
She frowned and looked around. "I thought we were going to some place exciting, not... a motel,"
"This is some place exciting!" the Doctor exclaimed, swooping his arms around. "Every place is exciting! You just have to look hard enough." he ran off down the hallway.
She sighed. "Doctor!" she yelled, and ran down the hallway after him. Man, he was so... childish.
Rory slowly exited the TARDIS and looked around. "Uh... where did everyone go?" he looked around again, and started walking in the opposite direction of the way the Doctor and Amy went.
Finally, they found their room. They tried the door: it was locked.
"Did you get a key, Professor?" Emmy asked.
He shook his head. "I got this instead," he held up a panel.
By then, Luke was waking up again. He looked from the panel in the Professor's hand to the door. "Look!" he exclaimed, getting up. "It fits perfectly into the door!"
Sure enough, it did. He placed the panel onto where it fit on the door, and it clicked into place.
Emmy tried the door again. "It's still locked!" she exclaimed. "Now how are we going to get in?"
PUZZLE #3: Love vs. War
The Professor examined the panel. On it had a picture of a man and a woman facing each other. They each held a riffle. Around the border, there was writing.
"'War dominates love in many ways'," Emmy read. "'Find out a way to turn this war into love'."
"...I know," the Professor said, rearranging a few aspects of the picture, and soon they were in their room.
(end of puzzle)
The Doctor finally found the lobby, and dinged the bell on the reception desk quite annoyingly.
By the tenth ring, Amy finally caught up to him, and placed her hand on top of his, stopping the dinging.
An old woman came out of the back office and out to the desk. "Yes?" she said, looking tired.
"Yes," said the Doctor. "I would like to check in. Well, we would like to check in. That is, myself, Amy, and-" he looked over. "Where's Rory?"
Amy followed his glance. "...Where is Rory?"
Just then, from all the many hallways, came a bunch of men and women.
"You'll have to wait a little before you can check in," said the old woman from behind the desk. "We're going to start our bingo tournament."
PUZZLE #4: Where is Rory?
Amy got an idea. Turning around, she yelled, "Has anyone seen my husband, Rory? He's tall... ish, young, and brunette,"
"I saw him!" yelled out one woman. "He was heading down the second south hall at 9:15. He was wearing a blue sweatshirt... or maybe a red one?"
"No, I did!" shouted a man. "He was running up the third north hall at 8 sharp, and... was he wearing a fez?"
"I was the one who saw him!" yelled another man. "He was running up the third south hall at 9:20. He was wearing yellow pants- no, blue pants- well, some kind of bright pants,"
"No, I did!" yelled another woman. "He was carrying something up the east stairs... just a few minutes ago. And I must say, I did like that orange shirt,"
He was wearing a red sweatshirt, an orange shirt, and bright blue pants, thought Amy. She checked her watch. It was 9:30. They couldn't have arrives there more than twenty minutes ago. Who should she trust?
Suddenly, the Doctor figured it out, and soon they were on their way to find Rory.
(end of puzzle)
The Professor, Luke, and Emmy walk into their room. The room is big, with three beds, and a bunch of fancy furniture.
"Gee," Emmy muttered as Luke started jumping on one of the beds. "I wonder how much this cost..."
"The woman behind the counter said this was the last room available," the Professor said. "It was a fair amount, but that's alright... Luke! A true gentleman doesn't jump on beds."
Luke stopped. "Sorry, Professor." he got down. As he did, he noticed a piece of paper on a bedside table.
PUZZLE 5: Mysterious Note 1
Luke started reading it. "'This motel is filled of many bad and horrible things. You will find the next clue under something that makes many dings'."
Emmy grabbed the note from him. "...I know what it is!" she suddenly exclaimed.
"You do?" Luke asked.
Reading over Emmy shoulder, the Professor said, "So do I,"
"You do, too?" Luke asked.
"Sure I do!" the Professor exclaimed. "It's as clear as the nose on your face! It's something all motels have."
Luke thought for a moment. What could it be?
"Well, come on!" Emmy said. "We have to go get the next clue!"
The Professor and Emmy ran out of the door, closely followed by Luke.
(end of puzzle)
Using the statements made by the guests, the Doctor quickly found Rory.
Amy soon arrived. "What were you doing, you numpty?" she asked, kissing him.
"Well, now we found you," the Doctor says to Rory. "Now it's time to find someone," he ran off.
Amy and Rory sighed and followed him.
The Professor, Emmy, and Luke entered the lobby, and the Professor checked the bell. Sure enough, there was another note taped to the bottom of it.
PUZZLE #6: Mysterious Note 2
"'You have succeeded in finding the second'," he read. "'Turn around to find the eleventh',"
"That doesn't rhyme!" Emmy exclaimed.
The Professor was surprised. Was he finally going to meet his old friend again? Closing his eyes, he turned around and opened them, finding... nothing.
Luke looked around the room. "The eleventh what?" he asked, scanning the room for numbers, only to find none.
Emmy started searching, an idea in her head, and soon found what she was looking for. Next to it, an arrow pointing toward a south hallway.
(end of puzzle)
The Professor and Luke slowly walked over to join her. "Well," Luke muttered. "Should we go down it?"
"...Sure," Emmy said, starting to slowly walk toward it. "Why not?"
So that's it! Pretty epic chapter, right? Took me four or five days. (Then again, I work on fanfiction on my free time, so at least half a day altogether)

If you solve them, post your answer in your review. I already have an answer picked out for all, but if you have a good one, I will accept it.
Man, I do like the Laytonmobile. Reminds me of Sara Jane Smith's car (and only a true Doctor Who fan would know what that looks like).
If you like me, tell your friends. If you hate me, tell your enemies.
