Level 12 [Video]

_{[For a long minute Ralph is content to let the 'gear take in a shot of the Lake of Rage.]}

Now this is nice! Reminds me of home only less...square. This whole time we've been on the road it hasn't felt like a camping trip, y'know? A camping trip needs a lake and boy have we found one!

Yeah, she and my crow ended up being partners in crime at the prom. Which probably actually kept Wren more out of trouble than in it, so, win-win.

_{[Cute kid, honestly. She kind of reminds Heather of her own eight-year-old self.]}

Wouldn't take you for the kind of guy who'd hang out with a squirt like that, though.

Yeah? That's surprising. Maybe they should hang out more.

_{[And at that, Ralph has to shrug a little, unseen, and admit that Heather's right. He's not great with kids. Or...with many people, actually.]}

We're from the same arcade. She says we knew each other but I don't remember anything about that.

_{[His voice grows a little lower. He didn't like the idea of thinking of his code as scrambled.]}

Oh, really? Yeah, that happens sometimes.

People show up from the same place, but different times.

It's even happened to m-- ... well. It happens.

_{[She'd almost said 'me'. But thoughts of Harry Mason's first arrival in Johto had come rushing back and she'd felt her throat close up threateningly.]}

_{[He scratches his head.]}

Yeah? Well, I'm glad it's not just me...She thought I was playin' some kinda mean game when we finally bumped into each other.

Yeah, no, it happens a lot, actually. It can get kinda confusing for people who don't realize what's up.

I knew a guy who met his adopted daughter from the future and was... really weirded out by it.

_{[Poor Phoenix. She couldn't honestly remember how much time he'd ended up spending with Trucy before she left, but it probably hadn't been enough to smooth over the awkwardness properly.]}

Wow, talk about an awkward family reunion.

_{[And here he thought FRIENDS from the future were jarring.]}

Yeah, tell me about it.

Not even sure how I'd deal with it if it happened to me...

_{[Of course, she can't see herself ever having kids, so at least she'll be spared THAT particular discomfort.]}

Me neither. I'm not that great with kids.

Well, the one you're with hasn't run off a cliff or anything yet, so... you're probably fine.

Yet.

She disappeared once--you know. Went home. We were camping and I thought for sure a bear got her or something.

_{[There's a slight pause.]}

... Yeah, that's how it happens.

Glad to hear she came back, though.

Popped up just as suddenly as she disappeared.

Speakin' of, I'm gonna go check on her. When you decide what you're gonna do, give me a ring! We'll be around.

Heh, all right. I'll letcha know.
