Abitat Eco requested the first and third ones :) The third one takes place directly after "Between Dreams, Shooting Stars, Letters and Mistletoes"

The Mocking J: I got the Barton one for you now :)


While Luke was on vacation in England, he and Layton along with Emmy decided to go back to Monte d'Or, bringing Clive and Flora along with them. While there, the younger party, mainly Luke, couldn't resist the urge to go by Tingly Town and try out some rides. Despite being utterly terrified of it, Luke ended up taking the roller-coaster with Layton, due to Emmy's powers of persuasion aka. chicken sounds.

During the ride or more accurately, during one of the loops, the ride suddenly stopped due to a minor malfunction. In an attempt to calm down Luke, Layton embraced him as much as possible due there sitting positions. Unfortunately, he let go of his while doing so, and gravity soon took over, letting the hat fall down towards the ground.

Down at ground-level, Emmy was taking pictures like crazy, not missing her chance at having a picture of the Professor without his hat, much to the dismay of said professor.

It didn't take long before the roller-coaster was rolling again, but while it lasted, Flora was at a candy stall, discussing with the poor fellow behind the counter how to make proper sweets. Clive along with Lando, Sharon and Henry were all the while trying to keep straight faces. They failed miserably.


Barton was what one would describe as a man, who was slightly clumsy (don't invite him into a room filled with antiques, if you don't have insurance), sometimes confused to a point where he didn't know what he was doing, and have nervous tendencies, which was one of the reasons why he spoke a mile per second, while still being better at his job than his superior was.

Layton was - for the most part - thankful, that Barton was the one the police chose to have following (stalking) him around, rather than one of the more burky and (what seemed) violent ones, whenever they were having a tough (easy) case. The cause for the following (stalking) was simply because, if the police needed help, they would always know where Layton was, so that they could ask for it (because it was simply too complicated to ring his doorbell). The Professor liked the Constable like any other person, but also because he had - for the most part - proved to be good company. For the most part.

"I know you're there, Constable. You might as well come out. Would you fancy some tea?"

"Alright, sir. Yes, sir."

"I'm not your superior, so there's no need for the 'sir'".

"No, sir - I mean ye- I mean no. Sir"

"..."


Shortly after Christmas - or more specifically - the next morning, when everyone was opening their presents, the Professor and Emmy got an odd little present. When opening it, they found Emmy's camera, a photo of them kissing and a note saying the following:

Looky who I saw, when going for a glass of water. You looked so cute I couldn't resist.

-Clive
PS. Professor, are you the one to take Emmy's virginity, and if you are, have you done it yet?

It didn't even take two seconds, before Emmy was chasing Clive around the house.

"...Professah?" Luke asked, reading the note over the Professor's shoulder.

"Yes?"

"What is virginity."

"...I'll tell you, when you're older."


The last one is hard to pass by without it getting the slightest perverted. At least it was kept to a minimum. Luke is as innocent as ever.

Hmm... I'm really fond of the word 'due' lately. Due, due, due, due, DUE! Kind of reminds me of 7th grade, when our teacher told us to clean up 'thoroughly' (she said it 5+ times to make her point). The rest of the day, we didn't speak a sentence without the word 'thoroughly' in it XD

If anyone wonders, I'm using the names Lando and Sharon, because I think there was absolutely no reason for them to be changed in the English versions. I like these names better, I guess.

Sorry for the lateness, but I think I'm coming down with a fever, so my brain doesn't really function :(
I am, however, in process of working out my "Breaking of Ground" story, so I'll see when I can update on that one.
