(Aelita P.O.V.)

A loud buzzing noise jolts me out of my sleep, just like it does every morning. I reach over and fumble with my alarm clock. When I finally turn it off, I sit up and rub my eyes.

There, sitting on her bed and watching me, is Karyssa.

"Good morning Karyssa."

"Good morning. What's your name?" She asks, cocking her head to one side.

"My name is Aelita. Do you remember me?"

"No… but you look familiar. Have I met you before?"

"Yes, I met you yesterday."

"I don't remember meeting you yesterday."

"Maybe you will later."

"Okay." I look at her and realize that she's wearing orange pajamas, something she wasn't last night when we put her in bed.

"Did you change into pajamas?" I ask her.

"Uh… no. I always sleep in my PJs."

"Oh, okay."

She doesn't remember anything before waking up.

"Do you want to go take a shower now?" I ask her. She visibly brightens at this.

"Okay." I grab a change of clothes and she follows my lead. I take her to the showers, which is surprisingly empty at this time of day. We both take our showers and head back to our room to get ready.

(Karyssa P.O.V.)

"Hey Aelita, is your favorite color pink?" I ask. It seems kind of obvious, but you can't be too sure.

"Yah, how did you know?" She asks me.

"I don't know. I think it was because of your clothes." I say, pointing at her.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Orange!" I say loudly. I look over at my nightstand, but it's not there.

"Wait just a second." I see a box full of my stuff over near the end of my bed. I quickly rummage through it and spot what I was looking for. I take out a big orange alarm clock and put it on my nightstand. After looking for a minute, I plug it into the wall.

"See, look. It glows orange numbers." I say pointing at the brightly glowing numbers.

"Yah, it does." She says, only glancing at it for a second. She turns away and pulls out a small plastic container.

"What's that?" I ask, suddenly really interested.

"It's called a compact. Do you wear makeup?" She asks me, taking stuff out of the container and putting it on her eyelids.

"No… what's makeup? Is it where you make up stuff? Like words?"

"No. It's stuff you put on your face. Do you want to try some?" She asks, looking at me. I noticed that her eyes changed a little bit.

"Your eyelids are blue!" I say loudly.

"Yah. It makes me look prettier. Do you want to try some on?"

"Hmmm… no. I don't think so. But thanks anyway."

"Okay. If you just wait for a second, I'll be done in a minute." She says, turning back to the mirror.

"So, is it a second or a minute?" I ask, confused.

"What?"

"You said wait for a second, I'll be done in a minute. So will you be done in a minute, and you only want me to wait for a second?" Aelita starts laughing.

"Never mind. I'm done anyway."

"Okay. Let's go eat, I'm hungry. I can cook pancakes!" I say, jumping up off the bed.

"Don't worry, you don't need to cook. We have other people who cook for us."

"Woah, cool! That means I don't have to cook pancakes! Do they cook good food?" Aelita laughs again.

"Sometimes. I think today they actually are cooking pancakes. Let's go see."

"Okay." We walk out into the hall and Aelita locks the door. We walk upstairs and I see Odd walking down the hall with a boy I don't know.

"Hi Odd!" I say waving. He waves back, but he looks confused. After a moment, he reaches me and Aelita.

"Hi Krys. You remember me?" Odd says.

"Of course I remember you, I met you only yesterday!"

"Can you remember me?" The other boy asks.

"No… but you're cute. Are you Odd's brother?" I ask. He and Odd look a little bit alike, and I've seen siblings that look alike before. When I said that, his face turned all red like he's hot.

"No, I'm not his brother."

"Oh. What's your name?"

"My name is Ulrich."

"Hi Ulrich, my name is Karyssa, but you can call me Krys. I don't know why, but it sounds cool because Odd said it." I say smiling. Then I see Macas turn the corner, with another boy and a girl I don't know.

"Hi Macas!" He waves back at me.

"Hi Karyssa. Do you remember her?" He says, pointing to the girl next to him.

"Nope." I say, looking at the girl. I don't recognize her from anywhere.

"What about him?" He asks, pointing to the boy.

"Is he Odd's brother? He looks familiar, and he has yellow hair like Odd."

"No, he's not Odd's brother. Come on, you met him yesterday, can't you remember his name?"

"Mmmm… no. But he looks like a boy I remember from somewhere, and his name was Jeremie." The boy looks at me in surprise.

"My name is Jeremie." He says.

"Hi Jeremie! My name is Karyssa. Have you met Aelita?" I say, pointing to Aelita.

"Actually, I have." He walks over and puts his lips to Aelita's cheek.

"Ew, what did you do to her?" I ask him, disgusted. Jeremie's face goes red just like Ulrich's did a while earlier.

"It's called a kiss."

"Nuh uh." I say.

"What?" Jeremie looks confused.

"That's not a kiss. I saw someone kiss another person in a movie once. It looked like this." I go over to Odd and put my lips to his like I saw in the movie.

As soon as I do, Odd quickly backs away, blushing.

All of the sudden, I could remember that when someone turns red like that, it means they're blushing and that they're embarrassed.

"Odd, why are you blushing?" I ask him.

"Uh… uh… uh…" Odd stammers. Then I remember that when you kiss someone, it meant you liked them.

"Odd, do you not like me?"

"Well, no…" He says quietly.

"Um, Krys?" Ulrich says.

"Yah Ulrich?"

"Usually when someone kisses someone else, it means they're boyfriend and girlfriend." He says.

"Oh. Odd, do you want to be my boyfriend?" I ask him.

"Uh… sorry, but no."

"Oh, okay. Does that mean I can't kiss you anymore?"

"Yah, that's what it means." Jeremie says. I look at the other girl, and I remember meeting her yesterday.

"Hi Jamie! When did you get here?" I ask, and everyone looks surprised.

"You can remember Jamie?" Macas asks.

"Yah, I met her yesterday."

"Krys, you surprise us all." Odd says.

"Why did you call me Krys?" I ask. The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember where.

"I just called you Krys a few minutes ago." He says, looking as confused as I feel.

"You did?"

"Yah. Do you want me to call you that?"

"Sure, okay. It sounds cool because you said it." I say, and he blushes again. Suddenly my stomach rumbles.

"My tummy made a funny sound. I'm hungry, can we go eat now?" Macas smiles.

"Let's go eat." He says. After that, we all go outside and into another big building.

Odd P.O.V.)

As soon as Krys' lips touched mine, I knew I liked her. I'm not sure how I knew, or how much I liked her. I just know I did. That split second she kissed me, I was in heaven. Nothing I had ever felt before came close to comparing to the feeling I got.

But I knew I had to pull away, or else it would lead to some awkward questions. So just as soon as I got the taste of her lips, I pulled back.

I knew I was blushing, but I couldn't help it.

"Odd, why are you blushing?" She asked me, innocence radiating off of her.

"Uh… uh… uh…" I stammer. I have no idea what to say, and even if I did I know I wouldn't be able to. My mouth wouldn't let me.

"Odd, do you not like me?" He face turns into one of concern.

"Well… no…" I say, not sure how to answer.

"Um, Krys?" Ulrich says. He explains something to Krys, but I can't concentrate. I find myself staring at her, struggling with my emotions. I stand there, struggling to control myself when Krys drops a bomb.

"Odd, do you want to be my boyfriend?" She asks me, smiling. I doubt she even knows what a boyfriend is.

"Uh… sorry, but no." I say carefully, hoping I won't upset her.

"Oh, okay. Does that mean I can't kiss you anymore?" I remain silent, because I don't trust myself to answer.

She has absolutely no idea what it means to have a boyfriend… maybe it's better that way.

"Yah, I met her yesterday." She says, referring to Jamie.

Wait, didn't she just say she didn't recognize her?

"Krys, you surprise us all." I say smiling.

"Why did you call me Krys?" She asks, looking suddenly confused. She totally threw me off balance with that.

I knew she had short-term memory loss, but that bad?

"I called you Krys just a few minutes ago."

"You did?"

"Yah. Do you want me to call you that?" I ask nervously.

Maybe she doesn't like that name anymore…

"Sure, okay. It sounds cool because you said it." She says and smiles again. I hear a sound that sounds like someone's stomach grumbling, but this time it isn't mine.

"My tummy made a funny sound. I'm hungry, can we go eat now?" Krys says, holding her stomach.

"Let's go eat." Macas says.

I had a LOT of fun writing that. I know that Karyssa will be a fun character to deal with later. Well here you go, another chapter, please review!
