A New Chapter Of Time ~ A Timeless Fanfiction (COMPLETED!)

Chapter 21 ~ A Walk

"So, what do you want to do today?" Wyatt asked as he pulled on his clothes. Lucy blushed as she watched him get dressed, even though he had gotten dressed in front of her many times before; she admired his good-looking body.. Lucy shrugged. "I'm not sure.." She replied. Before anyone could say anything, Luke jumped on the bed again, right next to Lucy. The elderly dog wagged his tail, his elder-eyes giving off an excited look. Lucy laughed. "I have an idea! Why don't we take Luke for a walk?" She said. "Great idea! Where shall we go.. Ma'am?" Wyatt asked, a flirtatious grin on his face, as usual. "Well, when I had a dog when I was younger, Amy and I used to take our dog, Rocky, to this place called Albero Park. It was a very beautiful place. Many people walked their dogs their, people had picnics, people hiked in the forest and swam in the river, heck, some people rode their horses! Only problem is, I'm not sure if the park is still around.. A couple years ago, the park rangers said that the park might close. And so Amy and I never went back to Albero because of that." Lucy said. Her eyes were full of sadness and memories, as she remembered her deceased dog and her nonexistent sister. Wyatt looked at her. Great.. All I did was remind Luce of her sister.. He thought. Tears began to roll down Lucy's face again. Wyatt rushed over to her side of the bed, wrapping her in his arms. He wanted to protect her from all of the horrors and dangers of the world. "It's okay.." He whispered. "I was only remembering everything I have ever done with Amy.. And before you blame yourself for 'reminding' me of her, it was not your fault.." Lucy replied, almost whimpering. "So.. Do you want to walk Luke then?" Wyatt asked her, cautious of Lucy's emotions. She nodded. "I don't see why not.. We probably should, because I think we all need to get out of the house.." She replied. "Sounds good! I'll get Luke ready and you can get changed.. We'll give you some privacy." Wyatt said. "Thank you.. For everything.." Lucy said, resting her head on Wyatt's shoulder. "No problem.. Ma'am.." He replied, his head on top of hers.

Just to let you know, I don't own the picture and it is from an anime I watched, called "Clannad". It is a very emotional story about family, so I highly recommend it! Some of the events in my story are based off of events in Clannad.

After Lucy walked into the bathroom, Wyatt got Luke ready for the day that lay ahead. Wyatt was beginning to become concerned for Lucy. He was afraid that her emotions would take over and that she would get depressed. I doubt that could happen.. She's like the glue that held the Time Team together, the reason I decided to come back to present day, the reason I still remained in the Time Team, even though Christopher wanted to fire me.. She is the flame that burns brightly for me in my darkest times.. And it's now time for me to do the same.. Wyatt thought, sadness coming over him. Well, from what I have seen in your future, I guess I can say that your future together will be full of many joys. But there will probably be many challenges, and you must face those challenges together.. The Phantom said.

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~

Before long after these thoughts, Lucy walked out of the bathroom, and was ready to go. "You two ready?" She asked them. Wyatt nodded. "Yes. Are you okay?" He replied. "I'll be fine." She said, pulling on her jacket. Wyatt wasn't convinced. Everything was so hard on Lucy.. He just pushed away those thoughts and led Luke out to the car. Luke seemed pretty excited to go for a walk. It seemed like he hadn't been walked in ages. Wyatt carefully helped the dog into the back seat, aware of the dog's old and aching bones, and then he got into the driver's seat. A few moments later, Lucy came out of the house, looking more cheerful than she did before. Hmm.. Weird.. Wyatt thought. She had literally been bawling he eyes out before, and now she seemed happy..? Okay then.. "Wyatt, I just went on my phone, which is why it took me forever to get out here.. It turns out that Albero Park is still open!" Lucy said, grinning as she got into the car. "Okay.. Where is it?" He asked her as she got into the passenger seat. "Well, it's in the north like Kantaa, but it's not as far. And I loved Kantaa so much.." She replied. Wyatt nodded. "Okay, sounds good!" He said. Wyatt started his car and they drove off into the morning.

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~

After around thirty minutes of driving, they arrived at Albero Park, which was just south of Kantaa. Lucy was the first to step out of the car, breathing in the fresh air and observing her surrounding. Everything looked the same, with a few small changes here and there. Lucy quickly got Luke out of the car and Wyatt got out too, locking the car doors. "So.. Where to? This place looks huge.." Wyatt said, looking around. "You bet it's big! Follow me!" Lucy said cheerfully, running off with Luke at her side. And wow, that dog could run, despite his age. Wyatt chuckled, and ran after them. As soon as Wyatt caught up with Lucy and Luke, there was a fork in the path. "Umm... Which way, Luce?" Wyatt asked her. "Let's go on Deer Path.." Lucy said, pointing to the path on the right.

Wyatt nodded "Okay, sweetheart.." He said with a small smile. Lucy blushed, and then began walking down the path, the dog leash in her one hand, Wyatt's hand in her other. The walk was peaceful, and to Lucy's surprise, the path wasn't as crowded as it used to be. Luke walked slightly ahead of Lucy and Wyatt, who were still holding hands. The three of them continued walking, until they came to a meadow. "The meadow! Amy and I used to play here all the time!" Lucy said, running ahead again, nearly tripping Wyatt. Wyatt chuckled; She sure loves this place.. He thought, catching up to her. Lucy ran freely through the meadow, laughing. She enjoyed the sunlight. She enjoyed the nature. She enjoyed everything. Wyatt was right behind her. Lucy nearly fell; Wyatt caught her in his arms. She looked up at him, her gaze locking with his. Wyatt leaned down and pressed his lips softly onto hers. Lucy blushed. There was a moment of silence between them; until a little boy and his sister saw them "making out" and started laughing. Their mother scolded them, giving Lucy and Wyatt a sorry look, and then they ran off. "Wyatt.. That was amazing.." Lucy whispered as Wyatt helped her up. Luke growled playfully at them. They both laughed and continued walking. After walking endlessly throughout the day and enjoying Albero Park, the day was unfortunately drawing to an end. The sun was beginning to set, and it was starting to get late. "Well, I suppose it's time to go? It's already starting to get late.." Wyatt said, interrupting Lucy's thoughts, as she looked on in the distance. "Yes.. We should probably go now." She replied, beaming at Wyatt. They walked to the car and got in. "Until next time, Albero.." Lucy whispered, staring out the window. "Thank you, Wyatt.. For taking me there and everything.." She said, turning to face him. Wyatt blushed. "No problem. I loved that place!" He replied. "Oh, and about our kiss.. It was like nothing I've ever known.." Lucy said. Yes, nothing you've ever known.. The Phantom said, as Wyatt and Lucy drove off into the evening.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! So far, it has probably been the longest, and it took ages to write! I highly recommend that you guys listen to the song that is above, because it fits perfectly with this chapter.
