Their date to the Opera had gone well and Dante tried to make sure it was almost exactly like it had been the first time. She loved it and had already asked if they could go again soon. Although she didn't have an memory flashes he thought they might be getting closer. At least that was his hope. So for their next date Dante planned to re-do their first kiss. "Where are w e going?" She asked as she followed him across the pier.
"The place where we shared our first kiss," he said taking her hand to help her on board.
"We had our first kiss here?"
"Yes we sure did, I had been wanting to kiss you for a while."
"Really?"
"Ya and you ended up kissing me just to shut me up. When we first met you thought I was working for Sonny but I was really just undercover at the time."
"Did I like you right away?"
"Yeah you just didn't know you did."
"We'll I guess we should kiss now." She said hoping his plan to re-do their dates would help her to remember. She would give anything just to be able to remember him.
"Are you sure that's what you want?" He asked caressing the side of her face.
"Yes." She said as he leaned in and kissed her just as he had back then. He prayed that being in the same spot and doing the exact same thing would help her to remember something. But when they pulled apart she turned her back to him and he immediately knew something was wrong.
"What is it baby?"
"I didn't remember anything this time. Dante, what if I never get my memory back." She asked wiping at her cheek as a tear fell.
"Don't think like that honey. We can't, we have to be positive and believe that it will all come back to you." He told her as he rested his forehead against hers, "Baby your memory will come back it just might take some time, that's all."
He always knew exactly what to say to make her feel better and even though she really had no memory of him, she trusted him. He hadn't given up on her and he truly seemed to believe she would regain her memories of their life together.
"I will take you through every date we have ever been on if that's what it takes to get you back. Wait I have an idea." He took her hand in his and started leading her back down the pier.
"Where are we going?"
"We are going to relive one of the best evenings we've ever had."
He took her back to his place and had her take a seat on the couch as he fiddled around behind the TV. "What are you doing back there anyways?"
"Hang on just one second beautiful and I will show you. There I got it." He came around and turned on the TV and the wii.
"Alright prepare to rock!" He said as he pulled out the drumset and handed her a guitar."
"Rockband, we're playing Rockband?she asked confused as to how this could possibly contribute to one of their best evenings together.
"Sure are and I seem to remember I kicked your butt the first time we played this." He lied.
"I dunno I'm pretty good." She said as they started one of the songs.
She realized pretty quickly that he must have lied to her because he was horrible. He kept missing chords and was watching her more than the screen.
"I thought you said you kicked my butt. Your horrible at this." She said with a laugh.
"I wanted to see if you would notice," he told her laughing just as the song ended.
"Your very sneaky there aren't you." She said with a smile.
For the next round they switched instruments and Lulu was on the guitar and he was on the drums. Dante noticed she was dancing around like she had before and he couldn't help but smile.
They played for over an hour before plopping down on the couch together, she looked over at him and they were sitting close together. All of a sudden she got a flash it only lasted a second but it was something.
