[Here's another stranger around town, Mayfield.  Ten years later, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired boy is a twenty-four year old man of stature nearly rivaling the Netherlands.  Those who are familiar with Lucas will easily recognize his shy smile and bright eyes.

1.  Immediately after his appearance in Mayfield, the man is simply meandering, lost in thought with hands stuck into the pockets of his slacks.  He'll be a bit shy to strike up conversation with the people he comes across, although he'll readily do so if he meets anyone he remembers

2.  An odd sight you might come across in the park is a fully-grown man attempting yo-yo tricks.  The vast majority of his attempts are abysmal; he's rusty and hasn't had the opportunity to try this in years, so maybe he'll hit you by accident as you walk by.  After a while, though, he might pull off an amazing trick every now and then, instead.  Regardless of the outcome, he'll be smiling and shaking his head to himself.

3.  For someone like Lucas, the clothing he's got on is really way too fashionable.  Why does he look so spiffy?  The answer might come to those who enter the school's music wing.  Seated at the piano is a grown man, and he plays it beautifully.  This is his occupation on the side, after all, and he may have been interrupted in the middle of a performance.]

((This is the only icon of adult!Lucas I have, so pretend the rest of the icons match.  He's wearing the same outfit as in the icon.  He is not anywhere near as good at yo-yo-ing as the guy in the video; that guy is just amazing and I felt like linking it.))

"... Wah? Lucas? Wha.. What happened?! How'd you get to be so much older?!"

I'm not sure. Something to do with a gun . . . I think it's just the town playing tricks again. I'll probably switch back soon.

. . . Oh! Oh, no. No, I'm actually from the future, Ness. I've been at home for ten years now.

"Wait.. "

[Ness thought to ask how such a thing was even possible, but this was Mayfield, and Ness had been witness to time travel before.]

"You said you'd been home. Like, outside of Mayfield.. right? What is your home like? Didn't you tell me at one point Pokey had taken over it or some thing?"

[Lucas's smile suddenly becomes a lot more forced as his eyes flicker to the side. After a few moments, though, he returns to his normal self.]

. . . My home was in grave danger at one point in the past. Yes, it was 'something' like that. But . . . But it's been doing well since all of . . . that.

I.. I can't even imagine what things for me would be like 10 or 15 years from now. I don't know whether I should consider you lucky or not.

So.. What's going to happen to the "you" from this time? I'm sure he'd love to know that things are better now than they were before. No sign of Pokey or Giygas, right?

From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
. . . I don't know. If it really is the town being odd, he'll probably be back when I go. It's probably most likely to think he went to the future, but I can't say for sure.

I don't know who Giygas is. Porky . . . Porky's still around.

Ha! Bet he's still getting into trouble. I wonder how different he is in the future. He isn't causing you all trouble, right?

Well.. Maybe I shouldn't ask too much, should I? I mean.. Where's the fun if I know everything.

[Lucas smiles wanly.]

No. Porky isn't causing any trouble at all. He's . . . He's done with all of that, I think.

I don't mind answering questions if you want to know. I don't think it's your future, anyway. We're not from the same worlds . . .

From: [identity profile] nessbound.livejournal.com
Oh.. I keep forgetting that. With Pokey being a part of your world, I guess I assumed they were the same. Hmm.. Yeah. I guess all I'd like to know is if my friends and family are okay by that point. But, it's reassuring to know that you're well and happy in your future, Lucas.

From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
. . . I think it will be for my past self, too. But yeah. Everything . . . Everything turned out alright in the end.

[Why the pauses? Was everything truly alright in Lucas' future?]

Are things the way you wanted them to turn out? Or.. Are things just "all right"?

Date: 2010-11-20 09:49 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
. . . For my friends and I, I couldn't ask for anything more.

Date: 2010-11-21 07:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] nessbound.livejournal.com
.. Is there any way I can go to my future?

If you find the person whose gun it was . . . Is there a reason you want to, Ness?

Date: 2010-11-22 10:05 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] nessbound.livejournal.com
N-No reason! Just.. Just curious to see what life would be like in 10 years. Is my house still there, am I in college, ya' know? Stuff like that?

[Was there any real way to prevent Pokey from causing trouble to the people in Lucas' world? Maybe there was some thing in the future..]

College?

It is a little interesting, yes. But it's probably best if you didn't find out what happened to you until it actually happens.

From: [identity profile] nessbound.livejournal.com
I figured that much. Well.. I guess maybe we'll see each other again soon some day. It'll be weird seeing "Present Day" Lucas after bumping into you, but I'll make sure he stays out of trouble. Anything in particular I should worry about?

I don't remember anything that happened after I left this town as a child. So . . . sorry. No warnings.
