Claire's point of view
Well distraction technique was called for, but now Oliver knows what I am planning to do. I couldn't remember what Myrnin wanted me exactly to do but Oliver implied that I had to find the reverse button. I sighed and looked around the device and saw that two LED's were flashing. I frowned. Who's other memories were in there? I sighed and put the device down and sat down in the chair, checking first for knives or saws.
I tried remembering about before but that was just blankness. I gave up as I was starting to get a headache from all this. I put my hand on my head and waited for Myrnin to get back.
Myrnin's point of view
I was swirling this liquid, humans call coffee while Amelie had hot chocolate which for some reason sounded appealing to her. I looked at her drink which was a brown colour with a bit of foam. I had tasted my drink and it burned my tongue and didn't taste so nice.
"Aren't you going to drink yours?" I asked, once I could talk again. I had taken someone's water to cool my mouth down which Amelie didn't approve of but I didn't care I had needed to cool down my mouth.
"It's nice. I just need it to cool down." She said. "You don't know what you could have caught from that cup." I rolled my eyes, something I had learned from Claire.
"Oh well, my mouth was metaphorically on fire and I won't get any diseases if your worrying." I said, looking around the cafe. It had been ages since Oliver had come and I was getting bored.
"So... Are you and Oliver falling in love?" I asked, since it seemed like it.
"Excuse me? That is none of your business." Amelie said and sipped her drink.
"Well the amount of times you want to him and him having that look that he is falling for you... He wants you to fall for him." I said. Amelie sipped her drink again.
""Okay. Well it's stil none of your business." Amelie said. I sighed and laid my head my my hand.
"I'm bored." I said and just as I said that the coffee shop door opened and in came Oliver. "Finally." He came over and after glancing at Amelie he pulled me aside.
"Claire used that memory wipe thing on herself." He said.
"Oh... right. Why?" I asked. The only reason I could think so was that to prevent others from knowing what she knew.
"I don't know. But she remembers when she took Amelie to the Glass House which was 3 hours ago. I don't think she changed it to 3 minutes." Oliver said.
"Well that is fantastic. She's forgotten what I asked her to do." I said and sighed.
"Did she mention anything? Strange?" Oliver asked. I shook my head.
"This is no time to get paranoid, Oliver." I said, thinking of what to do.
"I'm not paranoid. She said that when she found the reset button or whatever she wouldn't give Amelie's memories back because she wants to see how she is like before Morganville."
"Well that's easy. I could just tell her." I said shrugging.
"Your not getting it! She used the device on herself because she's useless at lying. So what do you think she did?" Oliver asked. I thought and got it.
"She already found the reset button? Well she does have her own mind." I said.
"What's going on?" Amelie asked.
"Claire's got amnesia. Him and do amnesia. She hit her head when she fainted and can't remember a few hours." I said before Oliver could open his mouth.
"Right. So... Why did you have to say this in private?" Amelie asked.
"I know you have only met her, but I didn't want to worry you." I said. Amelie looked to Oliver then nodded.
"So what are you going to do?" She asked.
"Well, ah... Go and find her I guess." I said. "Come." I said, walking out and throwing the paper cup away. I thought paper cups would soak through but that was proving very good. I went outside but Amelie didn't follow. I sighed and went back inside. "Come on!" I pulled on Oliver's arm.
"Touch me again and I tear off your arm. This is your problem as well as Claire's. You don't need me." Oliver said. I sighed.
"Come Amelie." I pulled lightly on her arm.
"Amelie's staying here. She's not following you around everywhere." Oliver said. I smiled.
"Surely, the lady can speak for herself?" I asked looked at Amelie.
"I wouldn't be of much use and I would like to talk with Oliver." She said.
"Well thank you for your support." I said and walked away. Oliver scoffed and said something I didn't want to hear and went out. I looked at the sky then ran to the lab.
I got there without much singeing and went downstairs.
"Claire?" I called. No answer. I reached the bottom and saw she was sleeping. I sighed and went to wake her then saw the machine on the table and went over there instead. I picked it up and saw two lights flashing. I tapped the screen but couldn't see anything to said reverse or variations of the word. I tapped again and pressed the arrow at the bottom corner and found it. Not Reverse but the memory wipe thing. Oliver was right for once; the bar was set at 3 hours instead of maybe 3 minutes or 3 seconds.
I sighed and put it down. I wandered what she would have wanted to forget and sat on the armchair. Maybe it was that she found the reset button and didn't want anyone to know. To be quite honest I wanted Amelie to stay the way she is; it's been too long. I stood up and pressed the screen of the device again, when I heard footsteps and a heartbeat.
Claire's boyfriend appeared. He has a problem that he thinks Claire is in love with me or I do something that is not to his liking. I think the human word is jealousy.
"Why is Claire sleeping? She supposed to have have come back." Shame said and I shrugged.
"She tested her invention on herself. She probably forgot." I said going down the screen. If Claire hadn't put Reverse or something on here then for a smart person she does some silly things.
"She used that on herself?! Why didn't you stop her!" Shame asked and I shrugged.
"Either because I was out or I approved of it. Most likely the first." I said.
"It's not funny!" He said. I was starting to get a headache maybe I could make him forget? I went back to the bar and pulled it down to... Hmm let's see 5 minutes. I looked to see where the laser was then located the button. "Hey I'm talking to you!" I turned it on him and he got the device from me and threw it to the floor. Luckily it landed on my mat but it didn't get away undamaged. I picked it up and some of the circuitry was hanging out. I sighed and looked at Shane.
"Well, well done Shane. Now it won't be able to return Claire's or Amelie's memories. Are you happy now?" I asked.
"It's not my fault! You were going to use that on me!" Shame said. I shrugged.
"You would only forget 10 minutes. Nothing big but it would probably mean your whole life to humans." I said and put the device on the table and sighed. Then I noticed something about it.
The lights weren't flashing. Did that mean it had returned the memories? I thought about waking Claire but 3 hours was no proof. I took Shame's phone and dialer Amelie's phone and waited.
"Hello? What is it?" She asked. Well her voice sounded... the same.
"Can you come to the lab please? I need to talk to you in person. And bring Oliver if you could." Just said, looking to Shame and smirked.
"Why?"
"Just do it, please." I said and pressed the red button. "Let's just hope that Amelie is back to normal or your part of the problem too." I said and gave the telephone back but didn't see if he got it and it dropped.
"Hey!"
"Oh stop complaining for once. You humans shouldn't make them so fragile."
So with the device being broken do you think Amelie's memories will be coming back? Or will it need to be repaired?
