Valerie didn't know what to do when she was greeted face to face with 6 pups' and their owner...she had forgotten his name already.

She stood their as he spoke to the doctor and was a bit uncomfortable when he and all the pups stared at her when they found out she lost her memory.

What do you do when you don't know the person you've been living with for the past 6 1/2 years. He was probably her best friend but she didn't recognize anything about him his voice his personality all she remembered were his eyes. That was pretty corny in her head but it was true.

"Hi." she said putting on the bravest face she could.

She was surprised how much of an impact she could have on this small group of people but little did she know that their was a entire town that she had aspired to protect and that granted her about a entire population to care for her too. But she didn't know that.

You see Valerie was always trying to be like everyone else when she was little but she realized she wasn't ,she was smarter and the education she was getting when she was only 7 was stopping her from even wanting to be like everyone else. She realized she was happy the way she was, of course she loved her family but she liked doing her own thing on her own.

She was always mature for her age but her kindness and personality shone through. But at this moment she felt like she was in unknown territory and the only people that can help were right infront of her some of them weren't even people.

"Valerie?" she turned around to see a dark brown pub come near her .

"Yeah." she said.

"Are you okay?"

"Umm... no." She looked down at her feet.

But before Zuma could answer Rubble called him over.

He whispered the situation to him and Zuma was at the edge of tears.

"Val Do you want to come inside ?" Ryder said standing in front of her she looked up.

"Okay."

"What s the last thing you remember?" he asked timidly.

"I was 2 days away from graduation." she said looking into his eyes .

"Do you..."

"Where are my parents?" she said not taking her eyes off of him. This stopped him in his tracks. She stopped too and stared at him as he looked at his feet.

"Your... your parents."

"Yep. Whats' going on? Where are they?"

"Valerie well your ... your dad."

She waited on him to tell her.

"He... he... can I tell you later."

Valerie was anxious and wanted to know NOW. But she merely said...

"Alright." they had then walked into the Lookout.

"Did we build this together?"

Valerie looked up to the ceiling. hands behind her back. Little did she know Ryder was staring at and "What ifs..." going through his head.

"Roger?"

"What ?" he said snapping back into reality."Oh my names Ryder." he said laughing slightly.

"Oh I'm so sorry my bad." she said fidgeting with her hands nervously.

"Um... do you want to eat or do you want to see some pictures of your life here."

"You have pictures?"

"Oh no .you did. you tried alot of new things after we got out of the academy. One of them was scrap booking."

"Oh okay." she said with a warm smile another question popping into her head.

"What was our assignment?"

"Oh well protecting Adventure Bay."

"A whole town! Thats' amazing I thought I was only going to get like something small like Istria."

"The smallest city in the world."

"Yep."

"Well we got Adventure Bay they don't have any fire departments or police . Just us and the hospital you built."

"I built a hospital!"

"Yeah and your designs were amazing. Your designs are always amazing like for example your ATV the Lookout and the pup packs and those are only some of the ones I helped with."

"Really.'

"Yeah you have a journal full of ideas!"

"Did I ever get a chance to design a motorcycle."

"Yep but its' not finished yet."

"Oh well now I have something to do." she said as they walked into the living room.

" What are the names of the pups'?" she said a bit upset at her self for not remembering.

"Oh well lets go talk to them."

"Are they mad at me?" she said rubbing her left arm.

"Why would they?"

"Because of this... I lost my memory. U don't know what to think about anyone here."

"Valerie youlosing your memory isn't something you should beat yourself up over." he said.

"Can I see my room?"

"You don't really need to ask permission. Oh... and heres' your pup pad." he said giving her the new pup pad. The other one was left behind in the fire.

"Oh thanks... I guess. Ryder one more thing. What happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"What happened what made me loose my memory? "

"Oh well you see you were on a mission and well their was a fire and the building exploded and you somehow got out but you went into the ocean."

Valerie moved her hair out of her eyes and listened.

"And their was a storm that day and the waves or something must've been to strong and you banged your head on something. And...well."

"Oh okay."

"It was your birthday." he said in a low voice.

"I'll come out to talk to the ."

"Okay."

Valerie closed the door and let everything sit in. Did I deserve this?

She began to feel depressed and a bit angry she wished she cold remember heer life here. She needed to.
