英文校對: 沒空看的Chris Chen

When Mida was a junior high school student, she fell in love with Da Vinci, a genius who was a vegetarian and died 500 years. One day when Mida was running errands, she saw that the convenience store was selling a time machine, and she decided to buy it to go back 500 years ago to look for her lover. When Mida entered historical time and space, she was too thrilled to look out for a lake in front of her. As she couldn't swim, she fell into the lake thinking that it was how she was going to die then. Suddenly, Da Vinci jumped into the water and saved her. Da Vinci looked after Mida, but Mida didn’t understand what’s her lover said. Mida looked up the dictionary to communicate with Da Vinci, and slowly, they got to know each other more. 
 One day, Da Vinci was alleged to be a homosexual, making him imprisoned, Mida wanted to save him and investigate the matter. The trial of the court was underway, and the definition of homosexuality was not described accurately. Although there was intense argument, Da Vinci was free, but he became distrustful of human beings and he didn’t believe his true love. Mida was sad and she told him when she grew up one day when she was back to the future, she would do everything to prove his innocence.


After Mida returned to the future, Da Vinci went on to look at the letters she wrote. Actually, Da Vinci thought Mida has been an interesting girl,  but she was too young to fall in love. She was just 12 years old, and he is already 23. Da Vinci Pretends not to care about Mida, but he always goes on looking at Mida’s letters towards the end of the day. The letters make him so happy, but Mida was gone, and not show up again.

Back to the contemporary, Mida went to the factory that manufactured time machines.
“I’m sorry I bought the wrong item. I would like to make a refund.” She said.
“The wrong item ?” the clerk looked at the time machine and ask Mida “ Little girl  did you have trouble using it”
“I fell in love with the ancient guy, he died for almost 500 years, I want to refund the time machine, I won’t use it anymore.”
“I am sorry to hear about that,” the clerk said,”I will give you a refund.”

“We have a new line of productions, I think this is very helpful to you. Do you want to give it a try?”
“OK, I’m a course about what is it ?”
“Forget-love-water” the beverage you drink can make you forget your true love.”
“I need it so much.”Mida said.”Can my refund pay it enough? “
“No.,” said the clerk “But little girl I’ll help you”
The clerk takeout a paper and said”  fill in the coupon and I’ll give you a voucher, with the voucher, you’ll have enough money to pat it”
“Thank you so much, may the product can deliver to my house with the indicated date?”
“Sure, what date would you like ?”
“September 28, that’s my 13 years’ birthday”
“O.K.The production will be on time. Thanks for coming”
“Yeah~bye-bye,” Mida lovely said.
Da Vinci always remembers to read Mida’s letters early in the morning and (to) read Mida’s letters the moment before he goes to bed.
Da Vinci misses Mida day and night. Mida comes from the future, she told Da Vinci many things about the future. For remembering all things about Mida, Da Vinci wants to write all the things that she talks about. I must write all of them, just for Mida, not for anyone. Da Vinci invents words that can only be read through the reflection of a mirror. For that reason, no one can read the mirror words. When anyone wants to take his notes away about what Mida said, he is always unhappy and says ” Keep your hands off the notes”

In modern time. At school. In class.
If Da Vinci’s notes had been found earlier, our technology would have improved at least 500 years. Mida feels so sad, but she doesn’t understand why. When she looks at the historical monument of Italy on the textbooks, she feels very familiar to the ancient structures. When she listens to the name of “Da Vinci”, the sadness comes into her heart so hard, she feels very sad but doesn't know why.


“Choose any artist you like and submit a paper.” The teacher said.

After class, students were crazy about finding their favorite artist. It was a pity that all the students chose vying for  Da Vinci’s books. The books were taken away. None of them was left over. Mida can’t get any one of the books. She screamed in her heart “Da Vinci is mine, how could you did it !” Mida started to cry, but she must uphold the good track record in this class. She had to choose another artist.

Mida’s heart was intolerable for unreaching Da Vinci's books. In order to make up for her inner imperfections, she search for Da Vinci on the internet.
According to network information:” Mona Lisa is the greatest and famous portrait of Da Vinci. It has no defect in this painting’s workmanship that was invented by Da Vinci.” When Mida look at Da Vinci's self-portrait on the lap top’s screen, she was shocked by his looks “What was a perfect face!!” Mida paused to marvel at Da Vinci's perfect face. after a few seconds, Mida looked at the mirror in front of her and said: “What a flawless complexion !!”. Suddenly she shrieked to herself ”look at the Mona Lisa!! “ She found out something “Mona Lisa’s pretty face was a combination of my face and Da Vinci’s!!!” Mida had confidence and said, “Da Vinci is mine unquestionably.”

“What are you thinking about, master?” said the apprentice in Da Vinci’s studio.

“I am seriously considering flying to the future.” Da Vinci said.
“Master, you have many great achievements.” Said the apprentice” You need to take thought for our studio in career planning to better prepare.”
“The better prepare to my future is to fly toward my true love through 500 years,” Da Vinci said ” I am sure when Mida be a graduating student from high school, she will be a vegetarian” If Mida is a vegetarian, she will more suitable as my lover”
“But she will be encouraged a normal, not a vegetarian.”

“I trust her.” said Da Vinci with a belief heart “I will give up my success in the workplace, there will nothing more important than Mida in my world.” Mida wanted to be a volunteer to be a new time machine when she was 13 years old. “I don’t know why I love Da Vinci so much, let me be the volunteer please” Mida requested. “Girl, you are too young to go to the past , didn’t you regret for anyone or anything” asked the scientist. “I must see him ,he is mine, I must find him” Mida said. So~ Mida went to the past,again. She fell in the lake,again.Da Vinci caught her at the precise moment from the lake,again. “Da Vinci~~” Mida happily give Da Vinci a hung to show her gratitude. Da Vinci was very shoked , but this time , Da Vinci was a 13 years old young boy,too. “Why do you know my name,” asked Da Vinci.
“Because I am from 500 years after,” Mida said.
“500 years” how do you give these measurements?”
“500 years, this means my love to you is 500 years, I do and I am sure.”
Da Vinci was blush and said “Maybe…I had seen you in my dream”
“How did you get here?” Da Vinci asked.
“I took a time machine” Mida said.
“The invention of the time machine is significance for people from the future.”
“It seems to be beyond my capacity to understand how could I love you so much,”Mida said with an innocent look.
“Can I trust you with this?”
“Yes, I’m the soul of discretion.”
Da Vinci was too shy, he didn’t know what to say. He placed his emphasis on painting something.
“What things do you paint now ?”
“buildings. I am researching architecture”
“That’s great, I had seen you the stairs your design”
Da Vinci’s eyes were bright and curious” How is that?”
“That can make space broader,let me paint it for you”
Da Vinci felt he finally meet someone who can understand what was he care and interesting about. He fell in love with Mida at the moment. But Da Vinci was too young to know Mida’s exist meaningful to him. “Da Vinci,” Mida said with a gentle voice,
“The memory we had interacted together will be erased due to I am time machine tester.”
“Oh nope…don't forget me, Mida”13 years old’s Da Vinci cried,
“I hope you can remember me, instead of I am the only one who has the whole memory by myself ”
“The first time I saw you, I said I love you with a tight embrace in spite of considering a proactive girl by you, I don’t want to regret anything,” Mida said.
“I never thought you were a too active girl.” Da Vinci said,
“I had seen you when I was a baby. I am waiting for you for 12 years !!”
“That wasn’t possible,” Mida said, as soon as disappear in the sky. When Mida was gone, Da Vinci walked on the streets, which he used to walk with Mida.
Suddenly, he saw a street vendor which sold many kinds of things.
“Boy, what do you want?” the roadside vendor asked.
“I need a transport to take me to a distance which is far far away “Da Vinci reply.
“We have a magic carpet that can take you wherever you want to go.” the roadside vendor said.
“That is not enough “ 13 years Da Vinci said,
“I have to go to Mida’s side which is 500 years after.”
“Oh I see, you want to go someone’s side after 500 years,” the roadside vendor said who was thinking the boy is a crazy guy.
“Yes,” Da Vinci said.
In addition to taking a carpet, we also have a crystal ball. Despite the crystal ball can't take you anywhere, it can let you see the person you want to see and talk to her in her dreams.”
“I want to buy this.” Da Vinci said. “I want Mida to go back to me. I have no time machine, I must call her to come back to me.”Da Vinci thought.
13-year-old Da Vinci used a crystal ball to enter the dream of 12-year-old Mida.
“Mida, I am Da Vinci, a 13-year-old boy, from 500 years ago, I am your true love, please come back to me.” Da Vinci told with Mida in her dream.
12-year-old Mida didn’t know Da Vinci, but she was a romantic and curious girl.
“I’ll remember that,” said Mida in her dream.
When Mida woke up, she got some errands to do and pass by a convenience store.
She went into the convenience store and she was surprised by a product-----a new time machine!!.
“How funny, Is that a joke? I dreamed of a strange boy named Da Vinci from 500 years ago yesterday, I find out there is a time machine here today? Ha ha ha, he said I’m his true love and call me to find him, it’s so interesting, I will give it a try.
The second day which was 13- year-old Mida leave, 13-year-old Da Vinci didn’t see either 12-year-old Mida or 13- year-old Mida return.
The second day which was 13- year-old Mida leave, 12-year-old Mida find a time machine in the convenience store.
what a coincidence!
Then 12-year-old Mida takes the time machine, but she can’t operate it well.
When 12-year-old Mida returned to Da Vinci, he was a 23- year-old handsome young man.
