"So... Your leaving now? Back to your present?" Aika asked, and Oliver nodded. "Yeah. I'm sorry we couldn't stay longer"

"No no, don't apologise!" Aika said quickly. "I just wanted to say... If my future self is still alive, will you go see her?"

"I-sure" Oliver agreed. "We'll be sure to visit your.... Future self..."

"Out of curiosity, how far in the future from now do you guys come from?"

"10 years exactly" swaine spoke up. "I know because I'm 23"

"Got it. Oh, and swaine? Brush your hair" aika said flatly, making Esther laugh. Swaine blushed and grumbled.

"Alright, we've said fare thee well, can we flippin' go?" Mr drippy asked, and Oliver frowned at him. "Don't be rude Mr drippy!"

"Goodbye" aika said, putting her arm around marcassin. He looked upset that his new friends were leaving, but he understood.

"We'll give future you your belief back!" Oliver promised. (Earlier that day Oliver had used the spell take heart to take some of marcassin belief to give to adult marcassin. Confusing, I know)

Oliver started to cast the spell. "All together now!"

They stepped into a glowing circle and began to chant.

"Today, tomorrow, yesterday, take us safely on our way!"

Light filled the room and they were gone.

Marcassin grabbed at aikas hand, and she held onto it. "Goodbye" she whispered once more, a smile on her face.
