A/N: Yes, I'm starting another story, and if you're that annoyed that I'm not finishing any other stories I've written, I can promise you I will finish this one, but favorites, subscriptions, and ESPECIALLY reviews do help me get the job done faster, because if I know people are reading, I have a better chance of taking the time to update.

Please note this is Alternate Universe (AU) and therefore several things have been changed, most of which should be made apparent over the course of the story.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Professor Layton series. 'nuff said?

"What a wonderful day," said a girl, strolling through a park.

"Everyday in summer's a nice day, we don't have school," noted a boy in a blue cap a few years younger than her.

"Luke," groaned the girl, "I meant the weather is nice, not the fact that we're not at school."

"Well… of course the weather's nice, too! What do you think we should do today?"

After thinking for a moment, the girl responded. "I think I'd like to keep walking."

"Okay. I'm going back home to do some puzzles. See you, Flora!"

As Luke ran off, Flora smiled, knowing he would almost always prefer to spend his day doing puzzles instead of walking.

After about a minute of walking, a boy who was a few years older than Flora stumbled towards her and collapsed, his hat falling off in front of Flora. Flora completely stopped for a second, and then, picking up his hat and kneeling down asked, "A-Are you okay?"

Getting no response, she wondered if he'd respond better to his name, which was written on a tag on the inside of his hat. "Uhh… Mr. Legal?"

He gave a quiet groan, and looked up. "What?"

"Oh! Um, are you okay, Mr. Legal?"

"Is that my… name?"

"Well, this is your hat, and it says 'C. Legal' on the inside."

"Does it? Let me see."

He reached out with a rather scraped up hand, and was slightly trembling. Flora handed him his hat, and he looked at it.

"That's… my favorite hat that I've had since… I was young It has to be my name. Just Legal would be fine, though."

Flora blankly stared at him for a minute, and then became worried. "You mean you… don't remember?"

"Remember…? I was… was…?"

Legal's eye's widened, and he frantically looked around. "Where am I?"

"Err…," Flora mumbled, "London?"

"London…" he echoed, "I'm still here."

"Do… you… remember anything else?"

"Well," he thought, "I was working on something very important… and I heard some sort of noise like someone dropped something, and something blew up, then… I'm still in London?"

After he had asked, he noticed she was already gone.

"I wonder who she was," Legal thought aloud, putting his hat back on. "And I wonder who I was…"

A/N: Yeah, I should've made this the length my chapters normally are (1,000+), but I wasn't sure if anyone would be into this. So I demand reviews! Even if the only thing you put in your review is: :D . Or something like that.
