THIRD PERSONS' POINT OF VIEW

"May I ask on what is it, Juliet?" Michael asked in confusion.

"May I know on what happening in this scenario, Mr. Johnson?" Juliet asked.

Juliet began imagining the situation she experienced in the future from yesterday in her mind and they are both placing their hands on the crystal ball, Michael can read on what is in her mind.

"H-How did you get here, Juliet?" Michael asked.

"I-I don't know which is why I was hoping, if you would help me this." Juliet replied.

"What year is that, Mr. Johnson?" Juliet asked in confusion.

"Year 1959." Michael replied.

"D-Do you know who are the people behind the bushes, and why do they want to kidnap my future self?" Juliet asked.

"Let's see." Michael said.

As the imagination of Juliet went closer to Maria and Peter, Michael gasped.

"M-Maria?" Michael said as be stuttered.

"Y-You know her?" Juliet asked in confusion.

"Th-That's my ex bestfriend." He replied as he sighed.

"D-Do you know any way on how I will fix it?" Juliet panickedly asked then Juliet opened her eyes wide open.

She forgot that she wasn't supposed to tell Michael that Aunt Tia told her to fix the future.

"Wait, how did they disappeared?" Michael asked.

"That's impossible, there must have been a mistake." Michael continued.

"I-I guess that's how the future works?" Juliet said in confusion then Michael cleared his throat.

"Mr. Johnson, can I ask one more question before Travis and Lauren arrive back here?" Juliet asked then Michael nodded.

"Wh-What happened between you and Maria in the past?" Juliet asked then Michael sighed.

"I-I am not sure to tell you every detail since its a very long story, but we were once bestfriends with another girl named Celestia. Something happened between the three of us, anger, hatred and selfishness towards each other. Little do I know, that will be the last time we would see each other. Maria decided to end off our friendship after the fight. We begged for her to come back, but she didn't and she left us both. I haven't heard from Celestia after we graduated college until now." Michael explained.

"But a few years later, I moved in to this city and met Lauren and Travis' mother. Afterwards, we had Travis then Lauren and as much as I wanted to know if I would meet up with Celestia and Maria, I didn't bear to do so until right now you represented to me your vision." Michael continued as the both of them released their hands from the crystal ball.

"Well that must've been hard, I'm glad you were able to handle everything after what happened." Juliet said.

"Honestly Juliet, it wasn't really easy. But when the day come that I started doing fortune telling, I started handling things well." Michael sighed then Juliet smiled.

"Mr. Johnson? May I ask you a favor?" Juliet asked.

"Sure, what is it Juliet?" Michael asked.

"Can you please keep it to yourself on all the last questions and situations I asked? I didn't want to spread out too much information towards Travis and Lauren." Juliet said.

"Sure Juliet, as long as you do the same." Michael said then Juliet nodded.

Little did Michael knew, Juliet had a plan all along. Her plan all along is to ask questions on what happened to them then use the second chances spell. She really felt a distinct feeling towards Michael, and had no choice but to bring back the time where she is done asking her second question.

"D-Dad? Are you okay?" Travis and Lauren worriedly asked.

"I-I'm fine, can you please give me some water and my energizer from my room?" Michael asked then Travis and Lauren nodded and left the garage.

"Wh-What would you like to know next, Juliet?" Michael asked as he stuttered.

"I think that would be all, Mr. Johnson. Thank you." Juliet said as she smiled.

After 10 minutes, Lauren and Travis arrived.

"We are here Dad, we had a hard time looking for your energizer." Lauren said as they entered the garage.

"Thank you Lauren and Travis, it means alot. Now, who wants to go next?" Michael asked.

"I would like to if it's okay with you." Travis said.

"Sure, come here son." Michael said as Juliet stood up and went beside Lauren then Travis sat down on the chair.

"Alright, ask away." Michael said as they placed their hands on the crystal ball.

"I know this sounds suspicious or sneaky, but would there be secrets revealed in the near future?" Travis asked as Juliet started getting very nervous.

"U-Uhh, let me see." Michael said then he closed his eyes.

"You know Travis that revealing of secrets are part of life, right?" Michael scoffed.

"Yes, but since you are the fortune teller, I wanted to know if there were secrets revealed." Travis said.

"There would, but I couldn't see it clearly." Michael said then he immediately gasped.

"J-Just make sure that you keep an eye on people, Travis." Michael continued as they released their hands from the crystal ball.

"Th-Thank you, and I guess that would be all." Travis said in confusion as he stood up and Lauren stood up then Travis sat down beside Juliet.

"Alright, what would be your question, Lauren?" Michael asked then he cleared his throat.

"I would love to know if there would be a possibility that my friendship with Juliet will one day break?" Lauren asked then Travis and Juliet looked at each other.

"Well, they do say that bestfriends will one day fight which means that they are true to each other. But try your best on not to fight with each other, trust me I know it hurts." Michael sighed.

"A-Are you okay, Dad?" Lauren worriedly asked.

"I'm alright Lauren, if you don't have any more questions, you can go remove your hands from the crystal ball." Michael said then Lauren nodded and removed her hands from the crystal ball.

After five minutes, all of them went out from the garage and decided to call it a day, since Juliet and Travis remembered that they should be doing their tasks. Juliet said goodbye to Lauren and Michael, Travis walked Juliet to her house.

"Are you sure you want to do the task that Aunt Tia said us to do so all by yourself?" Travis asked.

"Yes Travy, I hope you understand. Besides, we are supposed to solve our clues all by ourselves." Juliet replied as they arrived at the front porch of Juliet's house.

"Alright then, thank you for today M'lady. I had fun, and I hope you did so too." Travis chuckled.

"Of course I did, I hope I would come over sometime." Juliet chuckled back.

"You are welcome at our home anytime, my Juliet." Travis said as he smiled.

Juliet smiled back at him then Travis reached out for Juliet's hand and kissed her hand.

"I know this might sound very random but always remember that in this world full of multiple girls, I would always end up choosing you because I love you for eternity." Travis said as they stared at each others' eyes.

"In this world full of lies, I will always be the one who will forever be honest with you. Because we trust each other a couple or not yet a couple. And one day if you finally answer me back, I swear I will be the happiest person alive."

"Travis, you're so sweet because of it, I ran out of words to say." Juliet chuckled.

"Well, it's okay because in the first place, I am happy you and your heart chose me and that's what it matters." Travis said as he released from holding Juliet's hand.

Travis slowly pulled Juliet for a hug then Juliet hugged him back.

"Thank you Travis, I will never forget this moment." Juliet said as she smiled then they released from hugging.

"Me too, Juliet. Me too." Travis said as he smiled back then he left as he waved at Juliet and she waved back.

As Travis walked back home, he opened the paper where he has his clues for the task. The other clue he has is a telephone number, so he figured that he would call it once he came home. As he arrived at his house, he immediately grabbed the telephone and typed the number that is written on the paper.

"Hello?" Travis said.

"Finally, you called me Travis Johnson. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." The woman said then Travis did a confused face.
