I grip it but stare at him in silence. Tears come to my eyes as I process what's going on. He opens a screen, kinda like the save screen but this was different. I peek at it, seeing it say my name. Geno, er, Mom(>:3) wastes no time and begins typing all kinds of code into it. I see the words Timeline Transfer then the words Confirm and Deny. I realize what he's doing and pull him from the screen.

"Wait! No! Please! If you do that, I may never see you again!"I cry

"You were never gonna see us again in our timeline anyway."He says

"B-But we c-can fix it when we solve everything!"I say

"We both know that's impossible. It's for the best. Besides, your father and I will visit you when you sleep. It also seems the other versions of us aren't too far behind. Heh. We'll still see each other, but you deserve a place to call home."He says

I couldn't speak. I cry too much. He looks at me.

"Aw, Goth. Don't worry, it's all gonna be okay."He assures me

A door opens.

"Geno?"Father calls

"In here, Reaper. Our Goth is crying."He says

"I don't wanna lose you guys..."I whimper

They both wrap their arms around me.

"You won't. You never have. Just stay strong and everything will be okay. Keep that head up and smile. Besides, you aren't alone. We got...some assistance to come find you. All you need to do is wake up now."Father says

"I don't want to. Or I'll have to say goodbye."I say

"No! Think of it as a see you later. Because you will see us later."He says

I hear a click. I look to see they had distracted me and confirmed the transfer.

"Wake up, Goth."Father tells me

I look at him and then nod. I shut my eyes and open them. That setting was gone. I look around and find myself in the streets, laying on the sidewalk. How'd I get here? I stand up and begin to wander. I feel something in my pocket. I reach in and take out the paper. My eyes widen. That really happened. I tuck the paper away, not wanting to cry again. I look around, trying to find my way back to the house. But I keep hearing noises from behind and getting the feeling I'm being watched. I quicken my pace. Two arms wrap around me from behind. A head nuzzles mine. I froze after trying and failing to get out of their hold.

"There you are Gothy!"A voice from behind says

I glance over and see that Palette is the one with his arms around me, nuzzling his head to mine. He smiles as his wings flap, allowing him to hover above the ground.

"Palette! You scared me! Why do you love sneaking up on me from behind to greet me?"I say

"Oh! I'm sorry! I don't mean to!"He says

"It's okay."I say

"Where have you been? You fell asleep and I put you in bed but when morning came you were gone! Also, what's the note for in your pocket?"He asks

"Oh! I've been out here! I went for a morning run!"I lie

"Morning run?"He repeats

"Yep! Why not? Hehe."I say

"And the note?"He asks

"It's nothing."I tell him, tucking the note out of sight in the pocket

"Okay. Guess what!"Palette says
