11th moon [Whatever, it's 4th wall time]

[So. Cecil woke up thanks to a strange flash of light, only to find an unknown Pokémon in his room. How did he react? Why, by inviting it to a picnic and making as many sandwiches as he could, of course!

Well, actually he blinked, froze, stared, almost shouted, decided against it, reached for his sword, remembered he didn't have his sword, cursed his lack of a sword, realized the monster was still there, stared some more, asked if said monster was hoping to eat him, felt quite relieved when it shook its head, stood up, looked outside, saw all the strange people and Pokémon in the street, decided he was hallucinating, woke his Pokémon up, got dressed, smiled, and finally decided to invite the amused Pokémon to a picnic. But who cares about the details?]

And here we were, wondering what would happen this month. At least the colors are not eye-searing, this time. Would you like another ham and lettuce sandwich, Miss Cresselia?

A sandwish? [Have a pretty familiar young mother looking at the offer food curiously.] I am not Miss. Cresselia, but can I still ask for another ham and lettuce, sir?

But of course, Miss. I have more than enough for every- Aerith? Is that you?

[For every Aerith? Ifalna will be looking behind her wandering if her daughter was close by. Once she could see no sign of her, she will shake her head with an amused laugh.]

Of course not, silly. I am a little to old to look like my little girl, don't I?

[She will extend her hand.]

I am Ifalna Gast. It is a pleasure to meet one of my daughter's friends.

[Totally assuming you are one of Aerith's teachers from home or a new neighbor.]

Little girl? That is strange. The Aerith I know is nearly twenty, and she looks very much like you.

[He shakes her hand.]

My name is Cecil Harvey. It is an honor to meet you. Have you recently arrived in Johto?

Nearly twenty? [She will cover her lips a bit surprised by the man's words.] But that's impossible...my little girl just turned thirteen a month or two ago. Are you sure we are talking about the same Aerith?

[Shaking his hand firmly.]

Oh? Is that where we are? [She nods her head.] Yes, I just arrived here not too long ago. Do you live here, Mr. Harvey?

That wouldn't be surprising. Timelines are a suggestion at best in this world, and alternate universes are commonplace.

[He offers a plate of sandwiches.]

I do not. I was brought here, just as you were, three months ago.

I've... [She is pretty speechless by the news.] How is this possible? I never knew such a world existed. So the Aerith you know is an adult?

[She takes one and decides to sit next to him.]

Thank you.

A strong adult, who can travel between cities by herself and is more than willing to do so for the sake of a promise. She's a wonderful person.

I hope you like. I made the originals, but I'm slightly out of practice.

[She smiles softly at the way Cecil describes her child.]

That is...really wonderful news. It sounds like my Aerith really does grow up to be a fine young lady. I can't wait to tell my dear husband about it.

[Taking a bite out of the sandwish, she nods her head softly.]

Don't worry, they are well done. I haven't had a picnic for a long time now. I'm sure I am just as rusty in my own skills.

You have a lot to brag about. She makes friends easily, and she has an innate talent for cheering people up.

Thank you very much. To be honest, I'm quite surprised the weather is mild enough to have a picnic today. It's almost winter in this world now.

It certainly sounds like I do have a lot to brag about. My husband worries so much about her future. I just knew she would turn out just fine. My little Aeris has always been the type to make friends very easily. Oh, the stories I could tell you.

[She smiles and nods her head softly.]

It sounds like I came on a good day to have a picnic then. Did you pack anything else?

She must be quite popular, even at a young age. Always with a friend, playing and smiling happily.

I've not quite packed, but I've found that beverages and sweets appear when I wish for them. It probably works with any type of food.

Very popular, especially with the neightbors and old couples too. She got along with just about anyone even the boy that appeared in town not too long ago. No one has been able to get an inch close to him without getting attacked.

[Ifalna looks impressed, but she wanted to test the theory. She'll close her eyes and imagine a cold glass of lemonade. When she opens her eyes there was a glass in her hands.]

Wow! You're right, Mr. Harvey. The glass of lemonade really did appear.

A boy that appeared in town? Do you know his name? Aerith mentioned a few male friends from home, and he might have been one of them. Perhaps they still get along.

It's been like this since that strange flash earlier. But this power has limits. A young friend wished for a rain of sweets, and he only received two chocolate bars.

Of course! His name is Cloud, I believe. Is he one of the boys she mentioned to you? [Now she looks really curious over this issues. Very.]

Hmmm, maybe he wasn't thinking about a rain of sweet, but just two candy bars. I hope he wasn't too disappointed.

He is. From what she says, the two of them are good friends. I heard he was also in this world, before I arrived.

He was, a little. But he seemed quite happy with his candy bars.

Oh...they're only friends? [She looks pretty disappointed.]

Did he now? How old was he? The young friend sounds like a child.

As far as I know. She might simply not share all the details with an older man like me. Any female teenage friend would know more details.

The young friend is old enough to have reached the highest peaks of black magic potential, and to have been a key player in the rescue of my world. In other words, he's five years old.

No, no. I'm sure you're right, Mr. Harvey. Either she does not want to speak of it or they really are just friends which would be a shame. Cloud is the only boy my husband approves of...it would be a shame if she wasn't more than just friend with him.

Amazing! A boy being able to have such magical power are really rare to hear of. The only magician I've heard to reach such potential is Merlin the Wizard.

My, such high standards for his little girl. Yet all of her male friends seem like very nice young men. I know for a fact that Leon is.

Merlin the Wizard? I've not heard of him. But Palom is a prodigy in black magic, while his twin sister Porom is just as talented at white magic. Together, they are stronger than any mage in my world.
