Sorry if I was late. Enjoy!!

Athanasia

Future Athanasia

If someone stumbled in the scene in that small garden in the royal palace, it would've be one of the strangest things she/he would have seen.

Two teenagers blushing as red as tomatoes, two adults that look almost identical to them, bickering and somehow flirting with each other at the same time, and a little girl in the grown woman's arms, pointing at the two teenagers and giggling.

Without any context this wouldn't make any sense.

'Kill me. Kill me please.' Though Athanasia as she desperately tried to cover her red face. Her head was spinning and her heart was making cartweels.

She didn't dare look at the grown ups in front of her or most importantly Lucas beside her.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lucas was contemplating his life choices and questions his existence in the universe.

Asked Attheia. She had stopped laughing and was looking at Athy and Lucas with a confused look.

Future Athanasia and Lucas stopped and looked at their past selves. Future Athy smiled and sighed.

"Young love my dear. Young love"

That only made the two blush even harder. Unfortunately Atia looked more confused after that.

Future Lucas sighed and crossed his arms.

"........................

"W-WHAT????!?!?!?!?!?!?"

"What do you mean ERASE OUR MEMORIES?"

"Well you see, no one is supposed to know their future."

Athy raised her hand and opened her mouth.

"And before you ask, no, our case was different."

Athy closed her mouth and lowered her hand.

"But that means we will forget everything that happened today. You two and... Attheia..."

Even Lucas looked troubled by that.

"Don't laugh! Look you two, you don't need to worry. You will remember today again."

Lucas and Athanasia looked at future Athy a bit confused.

"But then when we grow up and travel to the past and meet our past selves, we remember everything that happened today."

Future Athy and Lucas both looked at Atia. "Yes precisely."

"We can't let that happen!"

"If we must, yeah."

"Positive!"

They both looked at each other and immediately turned their heads while blushing again.

Suddenly magiccircles surrounded everyone. They appeared to come from Future Lucas and Atanasia.

"W-WAIT!!" Suddenly Athanasia interrupted. "I would like to ask some questions to both of you, privately...""

"Oh yeah, I remember that we did this in the past."

"Y-yeah."

Than another magic circle was formed and a second later both Athy and Lucas were together with their future selves.

Athanasia and future Athanasia:

Athy was alone with her future self holding Attheia.

"So I know what you're gonna ask, so ask away. Hehe"

Athanasi's cheeks flushed.

"Why Lucas? And when?"

"Hmmm.... I don't know. He's annoying, bratty and a bit of a narcissist." Said future Athy a bit pissed. Athanasia was starting to get confused but still agreed with everything she said.

"But.." she continued with a gentle look in her eyes now "He's always by my side, he fulfills my wishes, he gave me his love without a second thought. He makes me laugh, he comforts me, with him I can be the true me, I can be honest. I don't hide anything from him and when I do he always knows. Yet he respects my privacy and my wishes, most of the time hehe."

Athanasia was blushing a lot. She somehow knew that everything her future self was saying was true. Her heartbeat was racing. She kept thinking of Lucas, both of them being together. She remembered his smile and that made her heart do a flip.

"Also he can be very clueless sometimes. For example, he gave me a dragon as a gift when we first became a couple!"

"A DRAGON!!"

"Hehe I know! But he can be very cute. And very straight forward." She sighted.

Then she looked at Athy again.

"And for your other question. I don't exactly know when, but I know they started getting stronger after Lucas helped me and dad."

"Why what will happen to dad!?"

"Even if you'll get your memories erased it's best if I don't tell you. Believe me."

Future Athy gave a sad look and Athansia decided it would be for the best.

"Ok then. But how did dad react?" Just the thought of Claude finding out that she and Lucas were in a relationship send chills to her spine.

"Weirdly calmer than I expected. It probably helped the fact that Lucas brought a huge live dragon and was showing it who the alpha was without batting an eyelash."

"And being empress?"

"Well it just came you know. After marrying Lucas I decided that dad needed a break and I was capable enough of handling it. So me and Lucas were crowned Emperor and Empress. I do the official state work while Lucas, being the Magician of the Tower, deals with magic related problems and border protection."

"You also can do magic and Atia told me you'ce made quite a lot of achievements. I don't know magic yet. When and how?"

Future Athy gave Attheia a scary look and Atia averted her eyes.

"Sight. Well the magic thing also is around the time to what happened to dad. But after everything was solved, Lucas started to teach me magic, which was a terrible decision really. I got the hang of it and researched more and more and discovered some new ways to draw magic circles. That was when I was around 17."

"Wow, I'll really do all of those things!"

Future Athanasia giggled. "Ah I really was cute~. Now I know you have one more question. Come on."

Athy started blushing again and looked at Atia "Y-You two, I-I mean me and L-Lucas...Attheia....." she couldn't finish her words.

asked little Attheia.

"Hehe, no dear you did nothing." Than she turned at Athy "Yes Attheia is our daughter. I gave birth to her almost 6 years ago for me. Me and Lucas love her dearly. She is our most precious child. It's a part of us. A way of showing that Lucas loves me and I love him."

She tickled Atia and the little princess laughed.

"Although she is a big trouble maker. She is really carefree and doesn't pay any intention to where she goes. And she can be a lot like Lucas. She gets really smug sometimes and has no problem using magic for doing bad stuff. She really took a lot after Lucas. Her hair, her face a little, some parts of her attitude and even her little beauty mark. They're all like her daddy!"

"Yep. Atia's eyes are just like mommy!"

Athanasia looked at them. She saw her future. Herself holding her child. Herself being married to Lucas, the person she... loved. She loved Lucas. That thought made her blush like crazy but than she looked at the child again and only one thought crossed her mind.

"Will I be a good mother?"

"Hmm... I can't say myself. Why don't you ask her?" Future Athanasia put Attheia down and she ran straight at Athy and hugged her dress.

Athy got down and started patting Atia's head. Than she asked "Atia will I be a good mom?"

That made both Athys tear up a bit. Athanasia hugged her future daughter tightly.

"Omg you're so cute! Yes mommy loves you a lot and will always love you!! I promise when I have you in the future I won't let a single person hurt you!!!"

"Well then it appears that those two are done." Future Athanasia said while whipping tears off her eyes. "If you don't have any any more questions than we should go and let Lucas come here. Come on Attheia."

Atia ran towards her mother and held her hand. Than Athy screamed "W-WHAIT!!"

Future Athy looked back.

"Are we happy...?"

Future Athanasia smiled "Yeah! We're very happy."

Lucas and future Lucas:

Lucas found himself alone only with his future self. They both started at each other until future Lucas spoke.

Lucas blushed a little.

Future Lucas smirked.

Lucas gave him a death glare.

Lucas flinched and blushed

Than they both continued to stare at each other. There was one thing on the back if Lucas' head that continued to bother him.

Future Lucas was expecting this bur was still little shocked. He sighed snd actually gave him somewhat if a smile and an not a smirk.

Lucas felt a kind of relief. Like a weight had been lifted of his chest.

Lucas blushed a little and so did future Lucas.

There was nothing else he wanted to ask. He already got more that enough answers.

Future Lucas said.

End if part 1. Got this took 2000+ words. Got writing block for a while but after that I just couldn't stop.

Anyway hope you enjoyed, sorry if there are any mistakes but I was to lazy to edit the chapter.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm waiting for a chatroom to open.
