Chp 2:

Kate Beckett woke up and stared at the room she was in. She truly wanted to remember the memories she had in the room. It was her childhood bedroom.

"You want to hear a story Katie?" Jim asked suddenly appearing in the doorframe. "When you were little, about 7 I think, your mom and you would come into here twice a month and have a tea party. You would have tea, sandwiches, cookies, the whole shebang. But as you grew older the tea parties stopped, and you two grew apart. When she was killed you two were learning to accept each other again." Jim finished with a sigh and had a far hard gaze in his eyes.

"Dad, can you tell me what happened?"

"Well the doctor wants you to figure out this stuff by yourself, but I can tell you a few things. You are a homicide Detective for the NYPD, the best they've ever had. Your team is made up of two other people. Your mother died when you were nineteen and when she did we took it terribly. But now I have to shut up, before the Doctor finds out." Kate let out a short laugh. "Come on, let's go get some lunch. Does hamburgers sounds good?"

Lunch was entertaining. Jim had invited Rick, Javier, Lanie, Ryan, and Jenny to come and get Beckett to remember them again. For Kate, remembering Lanie was almost as easy as remembering her own father.

All Lanie had to say was, "Girl, how are you doing?" and give the girl a big hug, and memories started flooding back.

It was the first day of her freshman year at collage, she was moving into her dorm, her parents helping her grab the last few boxes while she was on her third up. She entered room 112B, expecting it to be empty like the last few times. Instead upon entering she came face to face with another woman. Long black hair, dark skin, and a friendly smile.

"Hey girl, you must be my roommate. I'm Lanie."

"Hi, I'm Katherine, or Kate." From that moment the two girls had a special bond and knew it was an everlasting friendship. Upon coming back to the same dorm one year later, Kate entered and was greeted by the same girl, Lanie, with a "Girl, how you doing?"

Kate seemed to realize that her memories were triggered by past events, her dad by him calling her Katie, and Lanie by her speech. Thoughts of her past were slowly coming back to her and she was glad.

When Ryan and Esposito said hi and gave Beckett a hug, she was tense, not fully remembering them, but relaxed a tad when clips came to her. The clips showed them and their multiple cases. When Rick came to hug her, Kate tensed again but didn't relax as much as she did with the other two.

Castle noticed this but took relaxing a little as an improvement. Relaxing meant she remembered or at least acknowledged who he was in her life. As lunch moved on, he saw the new Kate Beckett, the timid one, with a hint of frustration in her eyes from not being able to remember

Rick realized that if he wanted Kate to get her memory back soon, and have her remember him, he would have to be working around the clock. But while he was doing that he decided that he would have fun this time, and it wouldn't take three years and Kate getting shot for him to confess his love to her.

Hey everybody, thank you for the reviews. They really mean a lot to me. That is why I have this very short chapter to post. I know it could be longer, and probably have more action, but I wanted to get this story to a slow start and have Kate meet all her friends again. Thx again!
