GIRLFRIEND, COUCH AND FOE
2012
“Companion?” Loree asked astonished, “You mean girlfriend?” She added.
Girlfriend? Julieanne thought, “Yes, I am his girlfriend.”
Elmo coughed hard upon hearing Julieanne’s words.
“Woohoo! That’s my son! That’s my Son! He is a male.” Percy exclaimed.
Dad seriously? Until know you’re still doubting my gender? How much damage did Francesco did to you with the dory-potion? Elmo told himself.
“Good heavens Percy!” Loree made a sour expression.
“Sorry honey I was just overwhelmed to see our son becoming…. Uhm… sociable.” Percy answered.
Loree maintained her sour look “So what brought you here?” She shot.
“Mom!” Elmo defended.
“I wish to spend the night here in thy abode Madame.” Julieanne smiled innocently.
“WHOAH! THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY!” Percy astonished.
“What?” Loree became more sour.
“Julieanne, wait let me handle this.” Elmo exclaimed “Mom, Dad, Julieanne is from a very far place and she has no place to spend the week. She is my friend; I’ve known her for a long time already.”
“How come you never mentioned about her before?” Loree interrogated.
“Well judging by your reaction honey, how could he really disclose this to us?” Percy opinionated “Come on honey Elmo is not a boy anymore.” Percy winked at Elmo.
Thanks Dad! Though Julieanne and I aren’t really what Mom thought of us but if Dad can help me convince Mom to let Julieanne sleep here, then I’d better stick to it. After all this is what we really came here for. Beside it can totally eradicate my Dad’s notion that his son is gay.
“So where is she sleeping?” Loree continued to ask, “we do not have spare room here.”
“Uhm, in Sir Elmo’s quarter?” Julieanne responded curiously.
“Okay it is settled. She will sleep in your room Elmo, and you young man will be sleeping with us! Between me and your Dad!”
“Honey! Let our son sleep in the couch! I thought we will…” Percy reacted.
“Not tonight. I just want to make sure that nothing happens to both of them.” Loree answered.
“Huh? Not tonight? What do you mean by that?” Elmo asked.
“Oh don’t ask. Obey first before you complain.” Loree commanded.
“Honey don’t you think you are over reacting?” Percy exclaimed, “Come on… I mean… you know what I mean… let Elmo sleep in the couch instead not in our room.”
Oh I get it now! Dad! You never change!
“Fine in the couch!” Loree agreed.
“They agreed.” Elmo whispered to Julieanne.
“Really. Thank you, Sir Elmo” Julieanne smiled “I owe thee a lot!”
Julieanne’s POV
Sir Elmo’s Family is very hospitable. Though, they are somehow odd. I wasn’t able to understand most of what they are saying. I really thought at first they are arguing about my stay but I think it is just more of a riot. Elmo’s father is a little unruly but funny. His Mom on the other I can’t tell, she has a very unstable facial expression. I couldn’t tell if she’s angry, astonished or just surprised by my relation to Sir Elmo. So in that case I am Elmo’s girlfriend.

Somewhere in the Past
“What business does thy need old man?” The King of Turks stood up.
“Nothing Milord. I am just here to offer you a chance to stand victor against Saint John.” The old man answered.
“Interesting… but why should I trust thee.” The King asked.
“Because I am what you needed. I hold the key to your victory.”
“Bold but not sufficient to gain my trust.”
“Later a servant of yours will drop the wine that he is carrying and will hit the Prince sitting beside thee. After which, thy be so enraged thou slap the servant in the left cheek while thy calling him imbecile.”
“What art thee talking about?”
Then a servant accidentally stumbled in front of the Prince and poured all of the wine in him. The King was enraged and slapped the servant.
“Father! Stop! It happened! The old man’s words happened!” The Prince stopped the King.
“Great powers of the sky! Who art thee?” The King realized what just transpired.
“The guardian of time Milord” Francesco said, “Now will thee hear me out? Or do I have to tell you what will happen next?” He said in a very serious expression.
“I am all ears old man.” The King answered, “What is thy proposal?” He added.
Francesco smiled.

PRESENT TIME
“So this is thy room!” Julieanne exclaimed, “I like it. It’s as simple as you are Sir Elmo.”
“Thanks, you can put all your things in this drawer. I don’t use it so, uhm… you can have it while you are staying with us.”
“Pleasure.” Julieanne smiled, “Oh look! You have a small sun! How did you capture it?
Elmo giggles, “That is not the sun Princess. It is called a light bulb. We don’t use candles anymore in this time.”
“Wow. The future is truly marvelous isn’t it? I bet thy have wonderful life here Am I right Sir Elmo.”
Elmo went silent “Sir Elmo? Did I say something wrong?”
“Nothing Princess.” Elmo smiled “I am just tired.”
“I see. Thy art right, it is getting late. Pleasure Sir Elmo.” Julieanne embraced and kissed Elmo in the cheek.
Wow! That was real! “T-thanks.” Elmo blushed.
Julieanne smiled.
“By the way, can I just call you Julie? Julieanne is a bit mouthful.” Elmo asked.
“Of course! After all I am not a Princess in this time.” Julieanne smiled.
“Okay… Uhm, good night Julie! Sleep tight!” Elmo bid.
“Pleasure! I’ll ask the winds to comfort thy night!” Julie answered.
Wow! What was that?! Winds will comfort my night? Oh that was sweet… I wish she were really my girlfriend… Elmo exhales.

“That is all you have to do.” Francesco finished.
“I see. So art thou saying we have to wait for him?” The King of Turks asked.
“Yes.”
“Very well! It shall be done!”
“But thou shalt forget our agreement. The Woman accompanying him is mine.”
“Of course. Just make sure that Saint John will fall. This is an agreement between us.”
“Indeed. No loose ends.” Francesco announced.
