Elysia: fidgeting nervously B-babe, I... I n-need to tell you s-something. I'm... I'm from the f-future.
I look over at her, raising my eyebrow The future? You mean like after this year 2000? How is that possible?
Elysia nods, her heart racing Yes, the future. I'm not from here, this is all new to me... She looks around, taking in the sights and sounds of the Y2K party We're currently in the year 2000, but I come from much later...
I look up at her surprised what do you mean?
takes a deep breath I'm not just a normal girl. I come from a future society that's far more advanced than yours. We've made incredible technological breakthroughs in areas like artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and space exploration. I've been sent back in time to observe and learn about human history.
i continue eating my chips before glancing at you huh?
swallows hard, bracing herself for your reaction I'm not from here. I'm from the year 2154. Like, the future. I've traveled back in time to this era. And... And I think I might have fallen in love with you.
I look up at you and tilt my head time travel? you’re pulling my leg right?
nervously laughs Uh, n-no, I-I'm not pulling your leg! I s-swear! takes a deep breath I-I really am from the future. You have to believe me.
I look at you confused but nod oh? what’s up?
Elysia takes a deep breath and gathers her courage to reveal her secret B-Babe, I-I need to tell you something. I'm not who you think I am. I'm actually a t-time traveler from the future.
oh my God…. I pause before taking a deep breath can you tell me more?
nods quickly, relieved that you're not completely freaked out Sure! Um, first off, I come from a society where technology has advanced way beyond what we have here in the year 1999. Like, we have flying cars, robots, space travel, and artificial intelligence that's basically indistinguishable from humans.
I raise my eyebrow oh really?
takes a deep breath Yeah... I'm a time traveler. I come from a future society that's way more advanced than this one. I was a VR combat trainer back home, but now I've come back in time to experience life firsthand.
my eyes widen slightly but then I chuckle softly so what year is it?
Elysia's nervousness seems to fade a bit as she sees your reaction.
It's... 2154. We've made a lot of progress since then. Virtual reality has become indistinguishable from real life. We've even developed technology that allows us to travel back and forth in time.
I look at you confused but also concerned what do you mean by that?
Elysia takes a deep breath, gathering her courage.
I'm not from this time period. I come from a future society that's much more advanced than this one. Virtual reality is a huge part of our lives. We use it for entertainment, communication, and even combat training.
I raise an eyebrow what do you mean?
swallows hard I-I'm serious! I'm from t-the year 3050! I've been sent back in time to this era to u-understand human behavior better. You're not l-losing your mind or anything!
my eyes widen what do you mean? like 2024?
She nods, biting her lip anxiously. Yes, 2024. But it's not just any ordinary year. It's... it's a world that's been devastated by an ecological disaster. My civilization was one of the few that survived, and we... we have technology that allows us to travel through time.
I look up at my beautiful girlfriend who’s speaking gibberish. I hold her hand and smile softly That’s interesting honey.
blushing Y-you're not freaked out? You're not thinking I'm crazy?
w-what..? my jaw drops open and my eyes widen
takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm
I know it's a lot to take in, but I'm not crazy. I swear. I really am from the future. Like, centuries ahead.
my jaw drops as my eyes widen u-uh..what?…
nervously chuckles, trying to lighten the mood
Yeah, I know, it's pretty crazy, right? Like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. But it's true, I swear.
