Author's Note: Second chapter! Thanks for reviewing and don't forget to this time around! :) (It must also be mentioned that this is very OOC and AU.)

Day Two: Traveling a Long Journey

"Quite complaining Luke! You've got it easy, you're just sitting in the baby seat!"

"Only because you made me!"

"Because your feet don't reach the pedals!"

It was like this; the real Layton mobile was in the shop because Emmy had tried to pull a wheelie while driving it. Needless to say, it did not go as planned. Fortunately, Emmy had been alright. That could not be said for the car, however.

Faced with the dilemma of having to WALK, Luke and the professor decided to rent a tandem bike. Luke's feet had not quite reached the pedals, and so, he had been thrown into the child seat that was perched behind the bicycle.

"Luke, do you have the map? There is intersection coming up shortly." Luke bit his lip. He had folded the map into a paper hat earlier and it had blown away shortly before his mentor had asked this question.

"Umm, a bird stole it." Layton snapped.

"Those robotic bastards! So it's not enough for them to have taken over one town, but now they're trying to take over ours!" he was furious. And it did not help matters that at that exact moment, a bird swooped and pooped on his head. "Mother - and that's the way the handle falls off!" Luke was mentally scarred by the professor's sudden outburst.

"Umm, professor? If you don't mind my asking, what do handles falling off have to do with -?"

"Le gasp! Luke, a true - gentleman does not say -!" Luke sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Yes professor. I'm sorry."

"You should be! Where did ever pick up language like that?"

"From...never mind. Look, it's the intersection!" and indeed it was. There was a left road and a right road.

~PUZZLE NO. 001~ WHICH WAY? (Ten picarats)

There is a left road and a right road. Which road do you take? There is a mathematical formula you can use to solve this, but unless you mastered in calculus, you probably have no idea. Good luck!

"Well, the answer is simple." the professor took out a coin and proceeded to flip it.

"What? That's your way of choosing the right road? A freaking coin flip?"

"No Luke, it's a fortune telling penny! NO OF FREAKING COURSE I'M GOING TO FLIP IT!"

"That's a terrible idea! We could take the wrong road!" Layton rolled his eyes.

"Oh, and you have a better idea?" Luke smirked and pointed at a sign reading "Westville". It was pointing towards the left road.

"Wipe that smile off your face. I was gonna pick that road anyways." the two turned down the road and pedaled.

They pedaled all night. Pedaledd, then slept. Slept, then pedaled. Pedaled while sleeping, sleeping while pedaling, sleddaling.

It was just an hour in reality, but to them, it seemed like two hours.

And it wasn't soon enough to them that they arrived at the infamous Westville, aka Bird Town.
