((My favorite band has to be 30 Seconds to Mars. While Owl City's got some good songs, 30 Seconds to Mars just takes the cake for me.
...I'mma go ahead and further support the theory of Schizo Tech that the Layton series is also known for.))
Artemis and Luke
Luke grunted a bit, looking at the cement ground as he was admonished, just as he had expected. After a few moments, he lifted his eyes and rested his gaze when he noticed Layton shiver. "Professor..?" Luke said rather softly, a tone of concern in his voice as his mentor himself began to look around, further raising the boy's anxiety. He was relieved enough when Layton finally agreed to begin their stroll towards the cafe. With a sigh, he adjusted the strap of his satchel, and extended an arm gesturing for Zecora to walk in front of him in a gentlemanly way. He then turned his head back for one final glance, and, seeing that there was indeed nothing of interest, quickly dashed to catch up with the other two.
It had been just a little ways from where they had started when Luke heard a loud, distinguished horn of a car. At first, he thought it was traffic. Another beep sounded, the same one as what had come only moments before. Naturally, the apprentice turned his head, cocking a brow as he noticed a old, grey Morris Minor car drive towards trio. Luke was left puzzled as the car began to slow down, as well as a little nervous until he heard a familiar voice emit from the passenger seat.
"Hi guys! Sorry that took so long!" Cried Artemis as she got out of the car, careful to avoid any passing automobiles; all these years and she still hadn't gotten used to the fact that the passenger's seat was on the right side of the car here in Britain. On her shoulder was a large bag, seemingly a much larger version of Luke's own small satchel, although it was green in color. "Thanks, Bruce!" Artemis did not forget to wave her goodbye in gratitude as she dashed towards the trio.
"There you are!" Luke shouted aloud. "Ay, what's in there?" He was quick to notice the large bag on the girl's shoulder, and pointed it out in his curiousity. "Oh, I brought my laptop! I do a lot of research on stuff, and I thought I should bring this just incase." Artemis smiled, lifting the bag up a bit with her free arm. "So, uh, did you guys decide where we're going to eat?" Asked she, pulling her thick ponytail onto her other shoulder to avoid getting it caught beneath the strap of her laptop case.
"The Cruise Cafe." Answered Luke. "Awesome! I can use my laptop there!" The student smiled with glee. "Are you sure? That bag looks a bit heavy..." The boy asked, tilting his head with concern. "Do you want me to get it?" As much as he was very small in stature, he couldn't refuse an opportunity to help a lady. "Nope, I got it, besides, this bag would probably be too heavy for one your size, no offense.." Artemis pointed out with a small chuckle in her voice. "Ay! I'm not that small!" Luke said defensively, puffing out his cheeks a bit.
"Riiiight, and how old are you?" Artemis cracked a smirk on her face. "I just turned thirteen!" The boy answered sharply. Artemis paused. "Well, you still seem rather short for your age, but hey, who am I to judge, I'm short too for twenty-three." She finally gave a roll of her eyes. Luke gave a clear "Hmph" and puffed his cheeks again, crossing his arms as he began to walk again.
"Anywho...lead the way, Professor?" Artemis cocked a brow, stepping closer to her teacher. "Er, unless your apprentice wants to do it!" She raised her voice a bit to call back the boy, who quickly turned himself around. He quickly had assumed that he had strayed too far.
