"You don't remember this?" Micky held up a pink and green teddy bear, looking at Sam expectantly.

She shook her head, but took the bear in her arms. It was so soft, and it made her feel safe.

"I won it for you at the fair last summer. You said you could'v won it for yourself."

Sam mumbled into the bear, "Sounds like me, yeah."

They were sitting on an old couch, in a familiar house. She had been very surprised to find herself in the actual Monkee house. They'd even driven home in the (ridiculous) Monkee-Mobile. Everything was exactly the same from the T.V. show. Or maybe it wasn't a show at all.

Mike was in the kitchen, cooking spaghetti and chicken, (her favorite, Peter had added happily while playing taste tester), and Davy was upstairs getting more things to help spark her memory.

So far they'd shown her a load of art supplies, a red trumpet with a pink 'M' painted on the side, the bear, and now Davy had brought down a small box full of photos. She shuffled through them while Micky watched patiently.

The first one she picked up had Micky sitting on a banana seat bike in the driveway, and herself sitting on the handlebars squinting in the sun.

Another one had her and Micky in the middle of a field, with her giving him a piggyback ride and looking the happiest she'd felt in months.

The next was a close up of Mike's goofy smile, with Micky's messy hair peaking out from under bed covers. Next to him was her, screaming and reaching for the camera angrily.

"You locked him out of the house in the rain after that," Micky added gently, looking through the photos himself. She snorted, looking down at the pile. If there was any doubt before, it was long gone.

"I'm sorry I don't remember," She bit her lip, "I hope it comes back soon." She really did feel terrible.

"Hey, hey, it ok." Micky said, grabbing her chin. "It's not your fault. It'll come back, I promise."

She smiled back and grabbed his hand. They stayed like that, staring at each other until Mike came in yelling about dinner.

"Okay, so how did we meet?" Sammy asked, shivering in the cold beach wind. Micky saw this and slipped off his army jacket, handing it to her. They were sitting down in the sand, looking at the dark waves go by. He'd told her she loved the beach at night. She believed it.

"You ran away from your folks back in Missouri, and while you were hitch hiking we picked you up. We drove you here and you just...became a Monkee." He shrugged, playing with a fistful of sand.

She nodded, slipping on the jacket. "Oh." So she really did have a life in the '60's? "What... What was wrong with my family?"

Micky blinked at her, "I thought you would-" He sighed. "They were drunks, they hit you. You told me the first night you stayed here that you wouldn't go back. You were almost 18, so we just hid you and they just...stopped looking."

"You guys did that for me?" She was shocked, they could've gone to prison for kidnap or something to that extent. And just for her!

He nodded, "Sure we did! We couldn't let you go back to that." His voice cracked and he coughed. Shaking his head, he spread his fingers and watched the sand slowly spill out.

She leaned her head on his shoulder, grabbing his arm. "Thank you."

He put his arms around her and kissed her head. "Anything for you, sugar top." He whispered into her hair.

The nickname sparked something in the back of her mind, but she just couldn't reach it. She was too tired to deal with it anyway.

"So, why me?" She broke the silence.

"Why you what?", he asked back.

"Why are you dating me? I don't remember really anything, but I know i'm not much."

Micky gripped her shoulder harder, frowning. "You're right. You're not much. You're the whole thing. I'm dating you because I really like you, Sammy. You just came into all of our lives like a God-send, y'know?" He sighed, "I don't know how to explain it. I just...I like you because you're you."

She wanted desperately to remember her life in the 60's. It ached in her chest like an old wound and she wanted it gone. She wanted to remember Micky, remember there love. She just sighed, staying there with him until she couldn't stand to keep her eyes open one more moment.

Chapter two! Yaaay! :D
