Author's note: Please ignore the part about "a tease for a tease." It originally meant something when I wrote this in September, but there's been a change of plans.


Lillie: You have all got a lot of explaining to do.

Lori: Crazy Lillie?

Lillie: Yeah, it's me. Put me on speaker.

Lori put it on speaker.

Lillie: I'm talking to all the main members of the Loud family, Ash and his Kalos companions, and Korrina, right?

Everyone but Lillie: *various ways of saying yes*

Ash: Who is this?

Eureka: It's my friend Lillie.

Lori: What do you mean we have a lot of explaining to do?

Lillie: Because you were all supposed to die on Uncle Anthony's 22nd birthday, and yet here I am looking at you and some others who are supposed to be dead.

Eureka: She must mean us.

Lincoln: Of course she means you, you're the only other…Wait, did she say "talking" or "looking?"

Lillie: There is also no Uncle Anthony in sight. Start talking!

Lincoln: We're just as confused as you are. Anthony saved us yesterday.

Lillie: NO, he didn't! He tried to think of a way to save you, but couldn't, so you all died. I have been told that story thousands of times. Unless some change I made to the past made him think of a way. But I don't see how that's possible.

Serena: Change to the past?

Lillie: I'm from the future. And I'm currently in that future, but it's been messed up.

Lisa: This is getting ridiculous. If you're in the future, then how are you calling us?

Lillie: I'm using the tiny amount of Celebi's time travel juice left in me.

Lisa: Yeah, because that doesn't sound like nonsense at all.

Lillie: Then switch this call to a video chat. I'll show you.

Lori switched it to a video chat. Everyone saw their future selves.

Everyone but Lillie and Lisa: Whoa!

Ash: I look surprisingly similar.

Lillie: Switch back to just audio. It takes up less time travel juice.

Lori switched back to audio only.

Lillie: So, I just showed you proof that I'm from the future. I'm assuming you still don't believe me.

Lincoln: …Actually. I do.

Lillie: You…you do?!

Lisa: You do? How could you possibly believe such an illogical…?

Lincoln: I don't know what to believe anymore, Lisa.

Lisa: …Yep. I'm in a coma. No doubt about it.

Lillie: Well Aunt Lisa, when you get out of that coma you're definitely in, will you try to figure out what I did to change the past?

Lisa: You're out of your mind.

Lillie: You say that now, but you'll come around. Well everyone, I'm not gonna be able to talk for much longer. Can I ask Uncle Lincoln something?

Lincoln: Yes, Not Crazy Lillie?

Lillie: ….I…I'm Not Crazy Lillie now?

Lincoln: Yes.

Lillie: ….Th…thank you…Anyway, there was something Uncle Anthony was supposed to tease, but he obviously can't now, so…will you do it for him?

Lincoln: Sure. What am I supposed to do?

Lillie: I'll email you the details.

Clemont: Did she just give a tease for a tease?

Lillie: I did. Goodbye, everyone!

Everyone but Lillie: *various ways of saying bye*

Leni: Will we ever see you again?

Lillie: In 28 years you will.

Lillie hung up.

Ash: Well, that was weird. Come on guys, let's get goin'.

Eureka: I can't believe this is happening! Maybe I'm the one in a coma.

Lynn Jr.: Alright! Enough with all the talk about comas.

Korrina: Can I come with you, Ash? I'm not ready yet to let me grandpa know I'm alive again. He's gonna…Let's just say he's gonna have a lot to say.

Ash: Sure you can come. That sounds like it'll be awesome.

Eureka: My life isn't misery anymore!

Ash and friends left.

Leni: I gotta say. This has been my favorite birthday of my whole life. So much happened. How do you think we should end it?

Lily: …Let's move back to Michigan.

Leni: …..Move back to Michigan?

Lily: Yeah. I wasn't there for very long, so I don't remember it very well.

Leni: Me either.

Lily: Plus, Eureka's going on a journey, maybe we should too.

Lana: …There's an idea.

Lynn Sr.: Whoa, whoa, whoa, everyone. We can't just drop everything and move to a completely different part of the world. We have to prepare for it.

Rita: What do you say, for now, we just have some birthday cake?

Leni: Yay! Cake!

Lynn Sr.: Except there's no time to make one, so I'm gonna order some pizza instead.

Leni: Close enough!
