I had this idea from an old challenge on Hazzardnet: The cliché challenge.

Head trauma and its consequences is a cliché very over-used in TV-shows: how many characters went through a head trauma causing them amnesia or a personality's change? Well, I'm goin' to write a fanfic 'bout this cliché, but trying to give it a new perspective: what if the character suffering the head trauma doesn't loose his memory but ... he gets new memories, changing his way to relate to other characters? I can't say anything more, enjoy the prologue.

PS: It's a fanfic...and I'm using a cliché. So, NO real medical issue in it.

Prologue

Daisy sat near Enos's bed, waiting for his awakening.

"Are you sure you want to stay here, Daisy?". Uncle Jesse's voice slowly soaked in Daisy's mind, only to obtain a brief nod while she kept on looking at Enos and squeezing his hand.

The door of the hospital's little room closed behind Uncle Jesse, Bo and Luke, letting Daisy lost in her memories of that exhausting day: Enos's patrol car rolling over and falling to the bottom of a ditch during a chase (fortunately not chasing the General Lee), Bo and Luke getting Enos's motionless body outside the car, his blood flowing from a deep cut on his forehead, the ambulance, the run to the Hospital behind the ambulance, doctors talking 'bout "epidural haematoma" (something new for Daisy, but that name pierced her mind forever), her continuous walking in the corridor in front of the operating room waiting for Enos coming out, and then …. Enos's sudden moaning interrupted Daisy's thoughts.

"Enos, honey". She stood up leaning over him, "Enos?"

Enos's eyes slowly opened, his look confused and his voice hoarse, "Daisy…"

Daisy smiled happily hugging him tight, "Oh Enos, I was so worried".

"Worried? Why? Where…", Enos's eyes observed the little room around him, a clear answer to Daisy's worried look and to her tight features under her smile, "Why am I in Hospital?".

"You had a car accident". Only two words to explain him one of the worst day of her life while she gently brushed his hair from his forehead, "Do you remember anything?".

"No, I don't remember anything", a sudden shadow crossed his eyes while he looked at the ceiling.

Bo, Luke and Uncle Jesse (with a cup of coffee and a sandwich for Daisy in his hands) entered the room, their faces lightening when they saw Enos awake.

"Enos, buddy, finally you're awake", Bo sat on Enos bed patting his shoulder while Luke and uncle Jesse approached Daisy.

Enos's usual wide smile cheered them up, "I'm OK. Thanks. I appreciate you came here from Hazzard"

Uncle Jesse shot a doubtful look to his nephews, and then to Enos, "Enos, boy, Hazzard's not so far from Tri-County Hospital".

Again that shadow in Enos's eyes, mixed with worrisome in his voice, "Tri-County Hospital? But…. I…. I was in L.A. How did I come to Tri-County Hospital?"

A brief silence filled the little room, Daisy's hand sliding from his forehead to his cheek, caressing him gently before to talk to him again in her sweetest way, "Enos, sugar, you had the accident in Hazzard. You're only a bit confused because of the trauma, don't worry".

Enos tried to sit up but he had to lie down again because of thousand of needles piercing his head and flashing blinding him. He closed his eyes while nausea overwhelmed him, his face turning pale as Dukes approached him even more worried.

"Enos". A mix of voices called his name; he swallowed trying to push away that nausea and he opened his eyes again.

"I… I'm OK", his confused eyes looked for Daisy by his side, "Where's Beth?"

Dukes looked each other more and more puzzled, "Beth? Who's Beth, Enos?"

Enos's eyes opened wide while he looked at Daisy, totally shocked by her question, "Beth…. Our daughter"

A deep and total silence filled again the room until uncle Jesse snapped out of that frozen state, "I'm goin' to call a doctor".

While uncle Jesse left the room in a rush, Enos raised his left hand looking at it like if it was something separated from his body. "Where's my wedding ring?", he murmured to himself, while Bo, Luke and Daisy couldn't help but look at him in shock.

Enos sighed, letting his left arm falling along his body like if it was too heavy, his eyes closed, his voice a whisper, "What's today's date?"

Daisy took Enos's hand, trying to smile and to reassure him, "It's September 25"

Enos swallowed then he took a deep breath, again that nausea overwhelming him, "September 25, yeah, but… what year is it?"

Bo glanced at Luke before to answer that absurd question, "It's 1985".

Enos moved Daisy away from him as he leaned out of the bed vomiting, nausea winning over him, while doctor entered the room followed by uncle Jesse.

I don't know where this fic will bring me (or, it's better to say, where I'll bring this fic, LOL).

Just an idea that I'm goin' to develop chapter by chapter. Any hint is welcome.

I hope you enjoy it... AND REVIEW!
