"So," Via said, "this is what you meant on that conversation that day, isn't it? Six, white, without… Six white roses… sent without a card?"
Phil nodded. "Yeah," he smiled, as she put the roses in a vase. "How did you…"
"Well… I just kind of figured it out…"
"Did you?" Phil asked, sitting down on the couch. He dropped his arms, forgetting that he had the WIZRD in his pocket. He heard a small beep, and noticed that something was going wrong. Via, luckily, wasn't in the room when he inadvertently shrunk himself. He fumbled for the WIZRD, but when he heard her approaching, he dove between the cushions of the couch, hoping he wouldn't be noticed.
Via furrowed her brow. She could've sworn she saw Phil come into the living room and sit down on the couch. And for some reason, he wasn't in the room.
Phil was afraid that she was going to take a seat on the couch, but, through some divine miracle, she decided to walk down the hall. He took this as his opportunity, and activated the device. However, just as he was using the device, Via turned around as he regained his normal stature.
She froze. She knew what she'd seen. There was no denying that.
"Phil…" she started.
"Via, it's not what you think, I can explain…"
"I think it's exactly what I think," Via said, but Phil cut her off.
"No, there's--"
"You're from the future," Via said, matter-of-factly.
"I can… what did you just say?"
"You're from the future." Phil stared at her, flabbergasted. "I can't believe it… you're from the future!"
"You… but…"
"Phil, calm down, alright? It's okay…"
"It is?"
"Yes… because so am I…"
Phil was speechless. He opened his mouth several times, but closed it, unable to articulate what he was trying to say.
"Small world, huh?" Via asked. "What year were you born?"
"2106," Phil replied.
"No kidding… I was born in 2105... This is too…"
"Freaky?" Phil suggested.
"Amazing! I… I can't believe this…"
Phil stood silently, until a thought burst into his head. "Say… maybe you could help me figure something out. A few days ago, I had the strangest experience…"
Review! Please...
