Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 66

"Oh, you want me to come with you?" Mo sounded flattered.

"Not just you, but Dad too, it'll be a family boat ride in the future." Akito said.

"That sounds lovely, I've wanted to meet these Loonatic friends of yours." Mo smiled, accepting the invitation.

"Then let's go, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go!" Estelle suggested.

Mo chuckled. "Okay, okay... Calm down, Estelle, the boat's not going anywhere..."

Estelle hummed and put her hands on her hips, eager to get going.

"We better get to the future before Estelle explodes from excitement." Akito said.

Atticus laughed a little. "I think your mom was the same way."

Mo gave an astonished gasp. "I was not! That was my brother!"

Akito and Estelle giggled to their parents.

"Speaking of brothers, where's yours?" Mo asked their twins.

"He said he had to make a phone call." Estelle replied.

"Probably to Jenny." Akito teased.

"Don't make me use my powers on you, Akito!" Vincent yelled out.

Akito blinked and whistled innocently, which made everyone laugh softly.

"Little brothers," Vincent groaned. "They can be a pain sometimes."

"I can't imagine," Jenny shrugged, revealing she was on the phone with him, but was lying on her couch and painting her fingernails. "Though, I guess Oliver is like a little brother to Georgette."

"With of how those two act I can pretty much tell that they're like brother and sister." Vincent guessed.

"Yeah, pretty much, they've gotten along better recently though," Jenny smiled. "I don't know if you noticed this, but Georgette seemed jealous when I first brought Oliver home that I was giving him all my attention since he's just a kitten and all."

"Well, I guess it must have been surprising for her." Vincent said.

"Yeah, I think she's learning to respect him now." Jenny replied.

"And to treat him like a little brother, right?" Vincent asked.

"Seems like it, you should really visit sometime," Jenny smiled. "I miss you."

"I miss you a lot too, look, I need to go now, Mom, Dad, Akito, Estelle, and I are just about to go on a boat ride with our friends, I'll talk to you later, okay?" Vincent said, a little rushed now.

"It's okay, Vincent, I understand, go spend some time with your family, I'm really proud to have a brave and heroic friend like you." Jenny smiled, not seeming too bothered, but was a little sad that he was about to hang up on her.

"I'll be back as soon as possible." Vincent said.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, I'll be right here as soon as you get back." Jenny promised.

Vincent smiled, she had no idea how right she was about that, he then hung up and joined his family.

"Finally, I thought you'd never stop talking to that girl." Akito replied.

"Akito..." Mo put her hand on his shoulder.

"Let's just go to the future, I'm sure Ace and the others are getting ready." Vincent replied back walking past Akito.

"Yeah, time travel is so weird, though hopefully, they won't get too impatient by the time we get there." Estelle added.

"I can't believe I'm going into the future, I always had dreams about this back when I wanted be an astronaut, but now it's really happening..." Mo sighed. "If I could've forseen this as a child..."

The portal then opened up, telling them it was now time.

"Here we go." Akito said.

Mo was a little nervous, she hadn't stepped through a portal in a long time.

"Don't worry, I'm right behind ya." Atticus soothed his wife.

Mo smiled at her husband before going through the portal with him and their children. The family then went to the future together.

Cherry was reading one of her novels and a tiny cleared throat was heard, making her lower her book to see her two children.

"Maman, we want to go on a boat ride with Akito, Estelle, Vincent, Aunt Mo, and Uncle Atticus." Felicity spoke up confidently.

Simon nodded in agreement.

"I hate boats." Cherry held her book back up, dismissing them.

"Please, Maman, please." Felicity begged her mother.

"What's your father doing?" Cherry asked, looking at her book.

"He said to ask you if we could go..." Felicity answered, holding Simon by his stomach on the floor.

Cherry rolled her eyes slightly. "Alright... I'll go... I'll be right back though." She put her book up, then walked into a different room.

"Simon, we can go!" Felicity cheered.

Simon took out a cheerful banner and waved it, but looked emotionless and stoic as always.

"I'll take that as you're excited." Felicity said.

Simon shrugged to his sister.

"You are strange..." Felicity walked away from him.

Simon just shrugged once again.

"Ugh..." Felicity rolled her eyes, then came to her father's room. "Papa, she said yes."

"That's great." Forte said with a smile.

"Are you sure you're not wanting to come with us?" Felicity asked.

"Thank you, Felicity, but you two should spend more time with your mother," Forte replied. "Get to know her... She missed most of your life."

Felicity smiled, then went off. "I will get you a souvenir!"

"I'll love whatever you bring me!" Forte called out to her. "Just don't bring back a fish!"

Felicity giggled. "Silly Papa..."

Cherry took out white pills into her hand, she took a deep breath, popped them in her mouth and washed them down with a glass of water. "Okay, I'm ready."

"Yay!" Felicity cheered. "Then let's go!"

"Stay close to me now." Cherry warned her children as she carried Simon and put a bottle in his mouth.

Felicity held her mother's free hand and they went through the portal once it came for them.
