Chapter Summary

This chapter is special. He's not supposed to exist, my mind is blank for this chapter but I just wanted to clarify the truth about that blond boy, so to not get confused in the next chapters you really need to read this, also you will know if Sheen is stuck forever on planet Zeenu or not.

Miros glanced at his watch, ensuring everything was in place. He couldn't afford any mistakes. With a swift motion, he adjusted the settings and disappeared, leaving Libby and Timmy staring at the empty space where he had stood just moments before.

Libby "what?, where did he go?"

"Who?" Timmy said and turned to stare at Cindy's house.

In the blink of an eye, Miros appeared again in a different place. He was greeted by the familiar surroundings of his home. He sighed in relief, but was still worried about Jimmy's condition. He quickly turned off his watch, to ensure that no one could track his journey.

Before him appeared the large white house, a marvel of architecture. It was not just a home; it was a haven for his family and their pioneering work. Miros crept into the backyard and entered the house.

"ah, I'm home!" Miros shouted, his voice echoing through the wide hallway.

The family house was large enough to accommodate more than 5 families and was bustling with activity. The Miros grandparents, from both classes, lived with them. There also lived a woman who was very interested in fashion and music and a man who was a professional anime and comic book writer and had a side job as a fashion model just for his wife. The house was always filled with laughter, debates.

Miros made his way to his room, a large space filled with tools, most of which belonged to his father. He sat down at his desk and pulled out his notebook. Each note was a delicate balance between what he saw and what he needed to remember without overshadowing anything.

A knock on his door interrupted his thoughts. And he entered without even permission.

A boy a year younger than Miros with brown skin and a mischievous gleam in his eyes "Where have you been, Heartis? I've been looking for you for hours" He then asked excitedly "Now how about we spoil some of the new Ultra Lord movie for our friends like we agreed, that would be funny"

"hours? You could have just asked my mother, isn't she in the lab right now?" Miros, whose real name was Heartis, laughed.

"Well, your mother is very...ah...you know, I hate dealing with this kind of woman, I don't mean to offend" Seiji started messing with some of his friend's stuff "Anyway, where have you been?"

"Oh, I had so much to do, things you'll never understand" Seiji was curious and very reckless like his father so Heartis didn't tell him the truth.

"Never mind" Seiji jumped out of his friend's bed and showed something "I brought my camera"

Heartis asked, "Let me guess, you want to take pictures of the look on their faces after you ruin the movie for them" He got up from his desk

Seiji "Wrong, I won't take pictures of them" Then burst out laughing "Rather, I will shoot a video"

Heartis laughed as he reached for the doorknob "What's the difference? Why don't you stop these childish games and grow up?"

"Hey! Just because you're a year older than me doesn't mean you have to pretend to be mature" Seiji grumbled jokingly.

"Alright, let's hang around the house for a bit" Heartis suggested "I have some things to do later"

As they wandered through the expansive home, they passed rooms filled with advanced technology and family memorabilia. The evening was settling in, casting a warm glow through the large windows.

"Heartis, look at this" Seiji said, pointing to a portrait of their family "It's amazing how big our family is. Sometimes I forget how many people live here"

Heartis and Seiji made their way through the house, their laughter echoing off the walls. They decided to head outside, where the massive garden and swimming pool awaited. The garden was a sprawling expanse of lush greenery, dotted with colorful flowers and neatly trimmed hedges. The pool, with its crystal-clear water, shimmered invitingly under the evening sky.

"Let's race to the pool" Seiji suggested with a mischievous grin.

Heartis nodded, already running "Oh, come on Seiji, this is ridiculous" Heartis and his friend were sometimes punished just for not asking their family's permission to go swimming, and Seiji was mostly just fooling around and messing around carelessly.

They dashed through the garden, dodging trees and leaping over flower beds. Seiji, being the more reckless of the two, took a few shortcuts, almost crashing into a hedge but managing to stay on his feet. Heartis laughed as he watched his friend stumble but kept his pace steady.

Seiji reached the pool first, diving in with a scream of triumph. Heartis arrived seconds later, slipping and falling into the water right next to him.

"I won!" Seiji exclaimed, shaking water from his hair.

"Only because you took shortcuts" Heartis retorted, splashing him playfully. "But I'll let you have this one"

They spent the next hour swimming, racing, and trying to dunk each other underwater.

After tiring themselves out, they climbed out of the pool and lay on the grass, staring up at the stars. The night was clear, and the sky was dotted with countless twinkling lights.

"You know" Seiji said, breaking the comfortable silence, "sometimes I wonder what it's like for our parents. They have so much responsibility and so much to worry about."

Heartis nodded, his eyes fixed on a particularly bright star. "Yeah, it's tough. But they also get to do amazing things. My mom and dad are always working on something incredible."

Seiji turned his head to look at Heartis. He laughed "Oh, the water in the tub is getting a little dirty. I know I'll be punished, but it was worth it"

Heartis sighed softly "You should have just waited like everyone else in this house"

They took off running again, racing through the garden and back into the house. Their footsteps echoed through the halls as they made their way to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, they found a chocolate cake. They each took a big slice, devouring it with relish.

"This is the best" Seiji said through a mouthful of cake.

Heartis nodded in agreement.

Suddenly a family member entered, they both jumped when they thought they were in trouble but when they knew who it was they sighed in relief.

"Hey! That cake was mine" "I guess..." Spanish man said annoyed "Leave me half of it and I won't tell anyone." He smiled and took a big piece and sat at the big kitchen table reviewing one of the Ultra Lord stories he had written himself.

Seiji approached Sheen and said jokingly "Dad, would you mind if I leaked some of your new Ultra Lord movie to my friends?"

Sheen suddenly shook and lightly slapped his son on the back, joking "Nope!, don't you know how much thinking time it took me to write a two-hour movie, and you're going to leak it in minutes?"

"Just kidding, where's my mom?"

"You know your mother, she is very very beautiful, However, she does not stop beautifying herself, maybe she's hanging out with that obnoxious friend of hers at the mall as usual"

"So she's with my mom" Heartis raised an eyebrow, annoyed "don't talk about my mom like that, why don't you say that to her face until she breaks your bones?"

After finishing their cake, they spent the rest of the evening exploring the house, getting into minor trouble, and enjoying each other's company. They played pranks on their grandparents, there were two labs, one with some employees from Heartis' father's company and one just for his parents, Seiji tried to sneak into both (unsuccessfully). They played hide and seek until Heartis got bored.

As the night wore on, they eventually made their way back to Heartis' room, exhausted but happy. At that moment their mothers had returned home, Heartis's mother had been Seiji's mother's best friend for years now.

As Seiji left, Heartis took a moment to reflect on their day. It had been filled with laughter and mischief, a perfect distraction from the worries that weighed on him. He took a deep breath, then stood up and made his way through the house, determined to find his parents.

He passed his extended family, each absorbed in their own activities. His grandmother, in the living room, was knitting something intricate and talking to his maternal grandmother. Libby and Sheen were in their own large room, laughing about something. His paternal grandfather, in the kitchen, was making a late-night snack and humming to himself.

As Heartis walked down the hallway, he could hear the faint hum of machinery coming from the lab his parents shared. He knew that his father was likely in the other lab with his team of scientists. Heartis reached the sliding door to his parents' private lab and took a deep breath before placing a strand of his hair on the scanner and entering.

As he walked around the spacious white laboratory, he remembered something.

Flashback..

Heartis said with a smile but avoiding Cindy's gaze "Not only does he trust you, one day he might share his entire lab with you and make it even bigger. You'll find a solution, I'm sure you can do it"

Cindy's eyes suddenly lit up and she wished deep down that what Heartis had said would come true "Jimmy is sharing his lab with me? Whoh! Thanks. You seem so confident, But you don't know him very well, he's always worried about his precious lab, especially after his latest invention disappeared"

Flashback ended..

"Hey, Mom" Heartis said, sat on a comfortable white chair. The whole lab was almost white "I got home a few hours ago"

She glanced up from her desk and smiled when she saw her son. "Welcome back, Heartis" she said warmly.

He found his mother who had just returned home and was immersed in her work. She's an amazing and tough lawyer, but she also finds peace sometimes when she's tweaking things in the lab. was a combination of advanced technology and meticulous organization, a testament to her efficiency. His mother had a much higher IQ than when she was a child.

"I've collected some important data, but I wanted to check on you" Heartis replied "What are you working on?"

His mother's eyes lit up with excitement. She stepped closer to check if her son was okay "I'm developing a music player with a neural interface"

Heartis' curiosity was piqued "That's incredible. How does it work?"

His mother turned to a nearby table, where a sleek, headset-like device rested "This headset uses advanced neural sensors to pick up brain activity associated with musical thoughts. It then translates those thoughts into actual music, which can be recorded and edited in real-time. It's going to revolutionize how we create and experience music"

Heartis nodded in amazement "Mrs Libby will be very happy about this"

His mother smiled proudly "It is. This will allow her to tap into her creativity in ways she never imagined. And for me, it's a great opportunity to prove my intelligence once again to your father..."

Heartis interrupted her with a light laugh "Mom!, My Dad has acknowledged your intelligence to you many times"

She laughed proudly "I know, I even recorded a video of him confessing it to me once, but I keep proving it" After a few moments she became serious and asked "How was your trip, did your watch work properly?"

"Yeah, it works perfectly, Thanks" Heartis started playing with his fingers and asked shyly "Mom…After my travel trip to the past, I am so amazed at how smart you are now. It is a huge difference. When I met your childhood, you honestly… looked very... nervous"

She laughed softly "Didn't I tell you? Well..." sound of a sliding door cutting through.

He walked in, looking exhausted and sweaty. He took off his lab coat and put it on a coat rack. But after a few comfortable breaths, he stared at his wife and son with no expression on his face.

"Dad, you seem fine, and my trip to the past didn't affect you as much as I thought" Heartis felt relieved.

"Of course..." His father said and he didn't seem worried at all "Heartis, how many times do I have to tell you that you're going to another dimension and it will never affect timeline we're in now?"

"I know, dad, I was just still worried, it's a good thing I didn't do anything wrong" Heartis scratched his hair and laughed nervously.

His father's sharp gaze shifted from his son to his wife. His face remained impassive, his tone steady as he asked "How was your day? And how's the project you're working on going, Cindy?"

Cindy's eyes lit up as she replied "Ohw, it's been productive. Libby and I have put in many hours to make sure it's perfect"

Jimmy raised an eyebrow "A Neural Interface Music Player?"

"It is, but it's going to be groundbreaking. Libby and I have always shared a passion for music, and this device will allow her to create and experience music in a completely new way "

Cindy nodded, her enthusiasm palpable "I don't keep such devices as you do, it will make me as much money as any other device, I will never be satisfied with the wealth we have reached"

Jimmy's expression softened slightly as he listened "This is cool. How's Libby been?"

Cindy smiled warmly "It was wonderful" she groaned as she leaned against the table "We reminisced about the good old days and how far we've come. It's amazing to think of all the things we dreamed of when we were younger and how many of those dreams have come true now"

Heartis, who had been listening quietly, intervened "I think it's unbelievable, Dad. You should have seen her when she was my age. The difference is amazing"

Jimmy let out a rare little smile "I have no doubt. Vortex has always been exceptional, even if she didn't always see it herself"

Cindy's eyes softened at Jimmy's words and she smiled wryly "Thanks, Neutron. That means a lot coming from you"

Jimmy glanced around the lab, his gaze settling on the sleek headset device Cindy had been working on. Then, Jimmy turned to his son, "Heartis, were you able to help my past self get rid of that damned clone?"

Heartis nodded "No, unfortunately, why? You told me it wouldn't affect your future"

Cindy nodded, as she improved her appearance on one of the strong reflections in the lab "You just wanted to have an exciting adventure, did you forget? If that would have affected this timeline, we wouldn't have allowed you to travel to the past" She took off her lab coat and looked at Jimmy with her arms crossed "You spent all day in your other lab, so don't tell me you're going to miss the big dinner too"

Jimmy replied expressionlessly "Fine" Childish Jimmy would have found this difficult, but since his relationship with Cindy began to improve in his teens, something about Cindy made him change and his passion for science lessen, not so much. Just calmer and accepting.

The backyard was illuminated with twinkling lights, casting a warm and inviting glow over the beautifully set table. The air was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of grilled meats and vegetables. Libby and Sheen were busy at the grill, chatting and laughing as they prepared the food. Heartis and Seiji were setting the table, their youthful energy infectious.

Jimmy's parents, Hugh and Judy, were sitting on a nearby bench, watching the scene with proud smiles. Sasha Vortex was helping Cindy with the final preparations, her demeanor much warmer than it had been in their younger days.

Jimmy was taking a quick shower while everyone was in the backyard.

When he was the last to turn up "James" Sasha looked up and smiled "you look calm and handsome as always"

This came as no surprise to Jimmy, years before he had let go of his pride towards Cindy and his relationship with her had become healthy, Sasha is still amazed at the success he has achieved with her daughter as the years have passed her hatred for him has turned to respect and pride.

Jimmy nodded politely "Thanks, Mrs Vortex," With his hands in his pockets he said before walking towards Sheen "Cindy Vortex, the only genius I'm proud of after myself" As much as Jimmy hates to say it, But he found that talking this way made Cindy and her mother like him.

Sasha and her daughter exchanged glances before she laughed proudly "There's a part of him that hasn't changed at all. It's true that he's still arrogant, but he also brags about you, Cynthia. Isn't that wonderful?"

Cindy nodded in agreement and a smile appeared on her face "I don't care if he's being arrogant with someone else, as long as he doesn't act arrogant towards me now"

Sasha's smile widened "Frankly, I'm starting to find that Neutron is also a source of pride for our Vortex family"

The dinner began with everyone gathered around the table, the atmosphere lively and filled with conversation.

"Man, this barbecue is amazing!" Sheen exclaimed, taking a huge bite of a grilled steak "Libby, you and I make a great team on the grill"

Libby laughed "We've come a long way since our Retroville days, haven't we?"

Sheen nodded, grinning "Yeah, and speaking of coming a long way, I don't even think how much I've achieved with Ultralord"

"Heh?" Heartis raised an eyebrow "What do you mean, Sheen?"

"See, young Heartis" Sheen puffed up with pride "I've gone from being a fanboy, which everyone has in their childhood, into the biggest expert on Ultralord. I've written a few books on the series, hosted my convention"

"Yeah" Seiji interrupted jokingly "And Oh, God, this is the only thing he ever talks about. It's like he's still the same action figure-obsessed kid that my mom told me about"

Everyone laughed, and Sheen ruffled Seiji's hair "Well, it's my passion. Can't help it if it runs in the family"

Heartis chuckled "Well, at least you have a passion. I'm still trying to find mine"

Libby thought smiling,...Years!... years! and not a single day went by without him talking about his stupid show,...

Libby turned to Cindy "Cin, do you remember the first thing Sheen said after he made it back to Earth, two months stuck on a distant planet?"

Cindy was uninterested "oh, this?, it's been a long time, yes I remember that. and I don't care" Then she smiled. "Are you still upset about his alien girlfriend?"

Libby spat annoyed "Oh, come on, It's been about 26 years since then. Sheen and I were married now why should I be upset?"

Cindy nodded and then asked "Right, nothing to worry about now. Remind me, why was he boyfriend with that alien?"

"He told me several times that he only became boyfriend with her because he thought he would never be able to return to Earth" Libby smiled sarcastically "However, I still don't believe him until now, I don't want to talk about it again" changed the subject "how's the Neural Interface Music Player coming along? I can't wait to see it in action"

Cindy beamed "It's going really well. It'll be a game-changer, especially for creative minds like yours"

"I admit it again, you really have outdone me sometimes, Cindy" Jimmy crossed his arms and admit with a small smile "Seriously, this is going to revolutionize the way we interact with music"

Far since Jimmy got rid of his evil clone, he was not only back to normal, but much bette.

Sheen leaned in "So, Jimmy, any plans for new inventions? Or are you just going to let Cindy take the spotlight?"

Jimmy "I don't know, I won´t tell you about any invention until I complete it. But for now, I'm just enjoying watching Cindy shine"

"Chh, whatever, bro i know you still crying about your baby rocket that died awhile ago" Sheen sighed in annoyance "I get it's Cindy is more important to you but sheesh I'm YOUR friend. You haven't even shown me your second lab yet"

At the same time, Sasha was having a serious chat with Judy and Hugh.

"As much as I hate to admit it, James and Cynthia have built something really special together" Sasha commented.

Judy nodded "And they are perfect. That's very impressive because they were like enemies in their childhood"

"Yeah…" Sasha said calmly and smiled a little "Thanks. After they got married and had a child, and what success they had, I can really see now that he and my daughter get along" She sighed and remembered "Contrary to what I expected"

Flashback.. The first months of the competitors' meeting

Sasha watched from the doorway as her daughter and Jimmy bickered over some formula she was scrawling in one of their notebooks. Cindy was getting real angry and she fought Jimmy cold-blood arrogrance with Cindy hell-heaven malice. Even Richards could not argue with that one "You're an arrogant bastard, Neudtron" she snapped instead "You cant just discredit my ideas like that!"

Jimmy rolled his eyes "Oh, please, Vortex. If you actually understood the principles behind quantum mechanics, you'd realize how flawed your proposal is"

Sasha sighed, shaking her head. She had always found Jimmy's arrogance infuriating, especially when it came to her daughter. But as she watched them, she noticed something else. Despite their bickering, there was a spark between them, a mutual respect that neither would admit.

Flashback ended..

Sasha smiled slightly now as she watched Cindy and Jimmy, so different than those days of madness … "Competitors yet a great couple" Sasha laughed softly through the twitching eye.

Judy smiled as she stared lovingly down at her son "Your daughter really brought him out of his shell, he used to hide away in his lab like a ghost before they became a couple"

Sasha laughed "Oh really? She was also the reason there'd been no trouble" She nodded dramatically and sighed in pleasure "So many years ago, I can't even remember when he last caused any… Not sure, Cindy didn't tell me"

Flashback..

"What do my ears hear?" Sasha shouted, cornering Cindy in the living room "Neutron and his blind experiments always pose a threat to our lives, Do you even know what you're saying, young?"

Her mother turned to Cindy as green eyes smoldered with determination from the teenage girl "Mom, I understand why you're upset and shocked, but I know him better than anyone else. He's not the same reckless kid he used to be. He's changed"

"forget it!" Sasha frowned. She crossed her arms "I don't want you to get hurt"

"No, it won't happen. He would check every tool he made more than five times to make sure it was safe every step of the way" Cindy breathed out, she was so sorrowful as shown in her eyes "Mom!. . . it's been six months already and he hasn't caused any problems, on the contrary, we're benefiting a lot"

Sasha was reviewing her daughter's words and sadness, she was just a fool when Cindy asked her to in the first place but for the first time she realized something she had never thought of

"Wait!.." She stared at Cindy in disbelief and asked "You like Neutron? Really, Cynthia?" And Cindy immediately interrupted her and started explaining to her.

Flashback ended..

Sasha shook her head, laughing softly at the memory "And to think, I once doubted this. I'm glad I was wrong, and this is rare because I'm never make wrong"

As the evening went on, everyone enjoyed the delicious food and each other's company. Heartis and Seiji entertained everyone with their antics, chasing each other around the yard and playfully wrestling. Hugh shared jokes and stories from Jimmy's childhood, much to everyone's amusement.

Libby and Cindy continued their conversation, reminiscing about their childhood and marveling at how far they had come.

Jimmy and Sheen talked about old times "So, when are you going to let me see your other lab?" Sheen asked. Pleadingly.

Even after all these long years, Jimmy still felt insecure about Sheen "Okay, I'll think about it"

"It's a shame Carl couldn't be here. He's been really busy with that new job of his" Sheen looked around and said "Hey!, Why didn't you invite Betty to this dinner or Nick?"

"Nick? Are you kidding?" Jimmy had to save himself as he was close to choking on the fresh limonada "I didn't even invite him to my wedding, But anyway, I remember he was there just to provoke Cindy"

"Ugh, yes but it only lasted for a few hours" Sheen couldn't help laughing as he recalled "Until Cindy knew he was teasing her right under his nose, she sent him to the hospital"

Flashback..

Jimmy didn't want to invite Nick, but if it weren't for Betty, he wouldn't have let him stay. Nick was just there talking sarcastically to some people about Jimmy and Cindy's weird and annoying childhood and how it made no sense that they would end up getting married. He kept muttering and talking sarcastically about Cindy under his breath until Brittany was the only girl who got up the courage to tell Cindy.

Cindy didn't let Nick ruin her beautiful day, so she continued with everything and acted as though he wasnt even there, but after the Wedding...

Deciding to make one last offer, Cindy walked up to Nick.

"Look who's arrived, Vortex and Neutron" Nick smirked as he got a little closer than Chris like to be; eye contact. "Congratulations, or whatever..."

Before anyone could respond, Cindy snatched the drink he was holding in his hand and poured it on his face.

"What th!..."

To everyone else watching, they gasped; to Cindy it was nothing.

Before he could open his eyes, Cindy kicked Nick in the gut quickly and stupidly. The force of the blow sent him crashing into the wall, and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Everyone was in shock "Oh, I heard his ribs cracking, has anyone heard that?" One of the guests coughed and said with wide eyes

Nick groaned in pain and realized the severity of Cindy's kick, which had broken several of his ribs and left him with multiple bruises, forcing him to go to the hospital without planning.

Flashback ended..

Jimmy laughed, shaking his head at the memory "Deserves it, Nick learned the hard way not to mess with Cindy"

Sheen laughed too "That was a great show. It's the best part of your whole wedding" Then he asked curiously "What about Betty?"

"Well, first of all," Jimmy said, taking a sip of fresh lemonade. "I just wanted this dinner to be for family and close friends." He sighed and stared at his wife for a moment. "And then I guess Cindy still hates her blindly, Even though I told her several times that it was impossible for me to cheat on her. Betty has also developed a strong hatred for Cindy since our wedding"

As the dinner progressed, Hugh entertained everyone with his classic jokes and stories about Jimmy's childhood mishaps, while Sasha and Judy continued their serious conversation.

The Next Morning

The kitchen windows allowing the morning sunshine to pour in, which added a warm glow. Jimmy sat at the lunch-table, laptop open and as always engrossed in his latest assignments. He looked across at Heartis, who was playing with his watch and looking a little harassed.

Cindy dutifully preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Every so often she would peer through an archway and look longingly at her son "Heartis you're awful quiet this morning dear. What's on your mind?"

Heartis sighed "I'm just thinking about the past… you know, I wonder if you and my father got rid of that evil clone. I know it doesn't affect our timeline, but still…"

Jimmy looked up from his laptop, his interest piqued "There are things that could happen for better or for worse in almost infinite timelines, why are you so worried about that?"

"What's up with that? Your son just wants to be the savior, and he's right even if it was in another timeline. It makes me feel uncomfortable when I think about it" Cindy set a plate of pancakes on the table and sat down next to Heartis

Heartis shrugged "Geez, Just me being bored, I find time travel to be the only thing that entertains me these days, it's just that I… am very curious to see how you two got rid of that evil"

Jimmy raised an eyebrow and took a sip of his coffee "Then I told you how we got rid of him..."

"I know, but I want to see it with my own eyes," Heartis looked at his watch and was still lost in thought. "A Timmy Turner from another universe tried to play hero show just so he could take you as a girlfriend again Mom-he failed"

"Turner? The last time I saw him was when he lost his fairies or something and... you know what, the weird thing is after that he never mentioned them again...and then well it's going to sound strange but it seems like they were wiped from his mind" Jimmy remembered him but didn't look away from his work, he didn't care "Without his fairies, he can't reach us, Cindy. Do you still want to see him?"

"And why?" Cindy shook her head and furrowed her brows for a moment "Oh or have you forgotten what it was like when I saved you from your damned clone?"

"And as you told me, mom, When all your focus was on finding a solution for my father, from the look in Turner eyes I had a feeling that something really bad inside him was waking up" Heartis asked "Do I really have a big grudge against you, Mom?"

"I told you!, he was just crazy jealous, to the point where he almost-" Cindy whimpered slightly with closed eyes "I don't want to talk about it again" unable to finish the sentence, she sighed disgustedly in an attempt to shrug the dirty memory from her head.

"Sorry.." Heartis looked down, understanding his mother's discomfort. Every time she told him about Timmy, she was upset and disgusted. "But it just feels like there's something I need to do. Something unfinished"

Cindy put her hand on Hartis' shoulder. "You're a smart kid, just like me" Jimmy gave her a slightly annoyed look but simply ignored it. She continued "Sweetheart, we appreciate your concern, but time travel is a complicated and dangerous thin, It already happened in our timeline and is over so ignore it"

Jimmy smiled at his wife and son "Exactly. And who knows? Maybe one day you'll have your own adventures to worry about. For now, just enjoy being a kid"

Heartis nodded, a small smile forming on his face "Yeah, I guess you're right"

An hour later

In the backyard of the house, Heartis looked around to make sure no one noticed him, he thought as he fiddled with his watch,...It's hard not to think about it, Dad. I really want to see what happens...I think I'll only reveal my identity to one person. I have to help this time...

Notes

Well, all because this one is a special chapter with events from the future: It looks like Heartis (Miros) is the future son of the arrogant genius and the tomboy blonde. In the next chapter we will continue in the normal timeline.
