Jim is walking around Arcadia, enjoying how peaceful everything looks.

Toby is at home, probably testing out the amulet he just found.

Darcy and her friends walk past him, shopping bags in their hands. Jim greets them and smiles.

He sees Eli walking around with some weird device. It's to detect Aliens, is what Eli told him, as he asked.

Then Steve drives past on his vespa and hits Eli before speeding away laughing.

Jim rolls his eyes and makes sure Eli is alright. Eli just smiles and continues looking for Aliens.

Jim shakes his head while chuckling and continues his way as well.

He is so in thought and admiring how calm everything is that he first notices how late it is as the clock tower on the plaza in the middle of the town chimes five times.

He realizes that he's standing in front of the Café Douxie works at.

A little bell rings as he enters.

"Sorry, we're closed." He hears a familiar voice call and sees Douxie using a broom to sweep the floor.

Douxie looks up and grins "Oh hey Jim."

Jim smiles "hey Dou- wait how do you-"

"Know your name? How do I remember? Please Jim, I'm a 919-year-old wizard, of course I remember what happened. Do you really think that resetting the timeline could erase my memories? I've been through too many time spells and time travels for that." Douxie chuckles.

Jim stands there, wide eyes and mouth agape in shock.

Douxie just shakes his head and chuckles again.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to lock up and get back home or else my 2 months pregnant wife will get angry at me for being late." Douxie says and gently pushes Jim outside before locking the doors.

Douxie then notices that Jim is still in shock. He closes his mouth with his index finger gives him a gentle nudge.

"You good dude?"

Jim shakes his heads and nods "Yeah, just surprised. I thought I'd be the only one to remember. And wait- Mailin is two months pregnant?!"

"Well, you're not. Me and my wife know too. And, yes, she is, she found out a few days ago, it was our first day back here after you've reset the timeline." Douxie grins. He turns to leave but stops "You've never been to our house, have you?"

"No, but I'd love to come visit you some time." Jim smiles.

"Why don't you come with me right now? It's not far." Douxie says.

Jim shrugs "Sure, I got time." He then follows Douxie.

They walk past town square and towards a bus stop. They get onto the bus and exit it again at the entrance to the Arcadian national park.

"Yeah, that's totally not far." Jim says sarcastically.

Douxie shrugs. They walk towards the official hiking trail but shortly before it begins Douxie turns right and leads Jim along a second, more hidden path. They walk for a few minutes and then stop in front a wooden gate leading to a little house.

"Wow." Jim says in awe.
