Arthur and Ariadne continued walking down the building. They exit a big glass door out of the building into the streets. They walked the brick-colored sidewalk with trees along the side. The sky is blue and people are merrily walking by.

"It's actually pretty nice here." Arthur commented to Ariadne while walking.
"Yeah, I guess I'm a happy dreamer." Ariadne replied happily.

She lied. Well, partly lied. She was happy… because Arthur was there with her. Whenever she sees him, her heart skips a beat. Whenever she sees him, she couldn't help but steal glances to look at him. He's hot. He's smart. He's nice and kind. It's actually what Ariadne described the "perfect guy". Just in the same room with him, makes her really happy inside.

They encountered a river that ran all across the side. Ariadne made a bridge appear to cross them across the river. Arthur smiled to Ariadne when she did that. She smiled back. She always loved his smile. They walked slowly across the bridge; Arthur put his hands to his pockets. They walked in silence for quite a long time; Ariadne broke the silence.

"So how long have you been working on… this?" Ariadne asked.
"For around five years" Arthur said.
"How?"
"How what?"
"How did you find Cobb?"
"Actually, it was Cobb who found me."
"How?"
"The same way he found you. In college."
Ariadne was surprised.
"I was studying business back then. It was my last year. I didn't really know what to do next after I graduated from college. My professor, Mr. Fabray, was a friend of your professor, Prof. Miles. Miles talked to Fabray that his son-in-law needed a point man, a point man for a very important job. So Fabray suggested me to Miles, who suggested to Cobb. Cobb and I met, and he gave me my first task. He asked to give him a research report about Maurice Fischer."
"Isn't he?..."
"Robert Fischer's father. So I did what he asked me to do. I gave him the report, and he seemed pretty pleased about it, so… here I am."
"I guess we all have a story on how we ended up here." Ariadne said.
"I guess so. Cobb was kinda tough though. He had rules for the team."
"Really? Like what?"
"Like… we can't date co-workers."
Ariadne's heart sank. Those four words felt like a cannonball just hit her. It felt like her heart just crumbled. "Why?" she asked, trying not to sound sad.
"I guess Cobb wanted us to fully focus on the job; not to get distracted."
"Oh" Ariadne said.

They continued walking slowly on the path, talking about other stuff, though Ariadne wasn't really focusing on the conversations.

A few days later, Ariadne entered the warehouse, finding two new team members, Eames and Yusuf. They discussed about the mission that they are about to do, planting inception on Robert Fischer Jr..

"And whose idea was this?" Ariadne asked.
"Saito. Fischer's rival. He wants us to plant an idea to destroy the company." Cobb answered.

Everybody began working. Ariadne built the dream world, Arthur researched stuff, Cobb was giving out orders… well, except at night. He would strap himself and dream on every night.

"Then, one night, your mother broke into Uncle Cobb's dream." I said.
"What did she see?" Ian asks.
"I don't know. Your mother won't tell me, even until now."

Over the next week, the team worked on their jobs, then the final night of the preparation came.

"So, I guess this covers it up. Tomorrow morning, we'll take a flight to Sidney. So you guys better get a good sleep tonight." Cobb said. He picked up his bag and exited the warehouse. "Goodnight everybody."

"I guess I better go too." Eames said as he also exited the warehouse. "Night."

Yusuf also left later, leaving Arthur and Ariadne alone.

"So," Arthur said, picking up his coat. "I'm going. Do you wanna come?"
"You mean, walk home with you?" Ariadne asked.
"Yea? Are there any other choices?" Arthur smiled. "I could drop you off in your aprtment."
"Yea, sure." Ariadne smiled gratefully. She picked up her bag, "Let's go."

Arthur opened the warehouse door for her. He was really enjoying this. Whenver he was around Ariadne, he felt happy. He would've asked her out if not for Cobb's stupid rule. He never felt like this around a girl, or around someone actually. The first time he saw Ariadne, he became, on what he called, "attracted".

Ariadne exited the warehouse, and Arthur closed the door behind her. They continued walking towards the street. It was empty, with only the streetlights to light the way. They could see the Eifel Tower lighting in the distance.

"This is actually very nice." Arthur thought.
"This is actually romantic." Ariadne thought.

They continue walking in silence. Ariadne shivered a little, so Arthur took off his coat and put it around her.

"Thanks." Ariadne said.
"No problem." Arthur said.
"Have you done this before, Arthur?"
"This what?"
"A project as big as this?"
Arthur paused a moment. "Actually, no."
"Oh." Ariadne answered with a slight concerned voice.
Arthur noticed this and said, "Don't worry, it's gonna be okay." He smiled.
They continued walking in silence.

They finally reached Ariadne's apartment.

"I guess, this is it." Ariadne said. Handing Arthur back his coat.
"Yea." Arthur said, "So… goodnight. Get ready for tomorrow."
"Yeah, sure. Goodnight Arthur."

She took her key, opened the door, and disappeared inside. Arthur stared at the door for a while, turned around, and walked towards his house… with a smile.
