Yes, two chapters in one day. I know, its exciting xD. Anyway, this is the first time I've ever done third person point of view in a fan fic, so tell me if it worked out all right please. Its also the first time I've changed the point of view, so please tell me how that worked as well, I'd really appreciate it ;). Anyway, enjoy. Oh, and just so you know, none of these are actually in chronological order, unless I say so, though all of them take place after the Unwound Future.
Disclaimer: I don't own Professor Layton or any of the other characters or components of the games that you will see in this story.
Third Person Point of View
It was a perfectly normal day for Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke. They were walking down a pathway in the park puzzling each other, trying to see who could win the most picarats.
There was however, one thing that was off in this perfectly normal scenario.
It was the atmosphere. Instead of it being a perfectly happy or content one, it was a sad one. Luke was moving. In a months time he would be heading overseas. Something he definitely did not want to do.
But little did they know, it was all about to change.
Professor Layton's Point of View
It was the end of the day and, as much as I hated the idea of it, the end of one of my last days with Luke.
As I took Luke up to his apartment I couldn't help but notice his glum mood, and I knew that he wished he could stay.
I wished he could too.
When we got to his door, his father opened it before Luke could even lift his hand.
"Luke my boy, head on over to the kitchen and help your mother finish dinner please." Clark said to Luke.
"Yes father, bye Professor." Luke said, still looking and sounding glum.
"Good-bye Luke," I said to him as he went inside. I turned to Clark. "Was there anything in particular you wanted to talk to me about?" I asked him.
"Well," Clark started to say. "Its about Luke. And I'm not going to push you into anything you don't want to do, but I was wondering if he could stay with you instead of coming with us."
"What brought on this change of heart?" I asked him.
"The fact that he has been so miserable since we told him we were moving. I know that he would much rather stay here and I'm fine with that, but you're the only person I can trust enough to leave him with. So what do you say? Remember, I'm not pushing you to do anything you don't want to do."
I thought about it, if he stayed with me he wouldn't have to leave. He would be happy, I would be happy, Flora would be happy, everyone would be happy.
And if he left he would be miserable, I would loose my apprentice and Flora too would be unhappy. My decision was made.
"I would be delighted to have him stay with me while you and Brenda move overseas." I told Clark.
"Thank you so much," He said. "Luke! Come over here!" He called over his shoulder.
"Yes father," Luke said, appearing behind him.
"We've got some good news for you," Clark told him, then turned toward me.
"If you wish, you can stay here with me while your parents move overseas." I told him.
Luke looked like Christmas had come early, "Really?" He asked.
His father chuckled. "Yes, really," He told Luke.
"Thank you father, thank you Professor," Luke half yelled as he hugged us both
I laughed. "Well I better be off," I told them.
"Of course, thanks again." Clark replied.
"Yeah, thanks Professor," Luke piped up.
"Its no big deal, see you soon." I told them before walking off.
This was one of the best weeks of my life. First Claire returned came back and is here to stay. And now Luke doesn't have to move. We could all be together like a family.
And I couldn't be happier.
Yeah I know, my endings are a little cheesey, but that comes from watching too many cheesey movies in geography (my teacher is souseless, its amazing sometimes :P). So anyway, I hope you liked it, but I will never know unless you review ;). So I most lkely won't be updating until the new year, so merry christmas and happy new year/ happy holidays. And I will see you in the new year.
