Episode 14: Wonder Bread and Skippy Peanut Butter

"So you don't remember... anything."

Johnny shook his head, looking confusedly from Ben to Jonah, his supposed best friends. He recognized nothing about them at all, from Ben's large glasses to Jonah's outrageous cowboy hat. For some reason, the fact that Jonah was wearing a bright red bandanna over the bottom half of his face struck him as funny, and he only barely kept himself from laughing. Jonah looked concerned, he had looked that way ever since he found Johnny in the park. Ben looked simply... blank. He seemed to have no emotion in his silver eyes, no expression on his thoughtful-looking face. Ben was certainly a real trip.

"What about these people?" Ben handed Johnny a photograph, and he looked it over. A pretty woman with long red hair, red like his, a tall man with red tinted sunglasses, a small girl with a huge grin on her face, and himself. He shook his head, looking up at Ben with something like desperation.

"Those people are yehr family," Jonah said loudly, also looking somewhat desperate. "Yehr ma and pa, and yehr sister Rachel."

"I don't... recognize them," Johnny said sadly. "I'm... I'm sorry...?"

"Do you know ANYthing?" Ben asked in complete exasperation. This was going absolutely nowhere and he still had to cross-examine Lorelai from Fort Four.

"I know I'm hungry," he answered immediately. "I'm really, really hungry. Is there Wonder Bread and Skippy peanut butter anywhere around here?"

"You don't remember your parents, but you remember Wonder Bread and Skippy peanut butter?" Ben rubbed his temples with his thumbs. "I hope I never, ever need to go into your mind."

"I remember I like to run," he said softly as Ben stormed out. So this Ben was already angry at him for something. This, for some unknown reason, made him want to swear. "Shit," he said, to satisfy the urge.

Now he wanted to put a dollar in a jar. He shook his head violently. What the heck was THAT about?

"Yeh alright?" Jonah put a hand on his shoulder. "Johnny? D'yeh need anythin'?"

"Yeah, a sandwich," he said.

Jonah looked at him sadly, ruffling his hair. "Ahll get one for yeh," he said, standing and walking out the door. Before he closed it, he looked back. "Yeh're gunna be okay, Johnny."

Johnny nodded and the door snapped shut. He was alone now, and he suddenly felt very cold and small. Pulling his knees to his chest, he sighed. What does one think about without memories?

...

Chloe stood up immediately as Ben entered the waiting room, pulling herself out of Eevee's arms. "Is he gunna be okay?" she squeaked, and she sounded like she had been crying for a while. "Is Johnny gunna be okay?"

"He's... fine, Chloe," Ben lied. "Why don't you go find Raven and tell her to come here."

The small girl, now hovering a foot off the ground, nodded. "Okee-dokee," she said as she rocketed out of the room.

"So how is he really?" Eevee asked, folding her arms. Tears sparkled at the corners of her eyes, but she struggled to remain strong. If she broke down, she was letting down Chloe. She had to be calm and centered, to be a good role model for the impressionable little girl.

Ben sighed and folded his own arms after running a hand through his longish hair. "He doesn't remember anything," he said slowly. "Not me, not Jonah, not his parents or his sister. He barely knows who he is."

Eevee's chin quivered and she buried her face in her hands. "Oh no. Oh no, no, no."

"This isn't so bad, Eevee," he said. "If he doesn't remember being on Alpha team, he won't object to leading Beta team."

"What?" Eevee removed her hands from her face, squinting at her team leader. "What in bloody Hell are you talking about?"

"Johnny would have never left Alpha team for Beta team, you know that," Ben tried to reason. "But now he doesn't remember Alpha team, or that he was a part of it. He'll lead Beta team without complaint."

"Ben, no," Eevee objected, shaking her head. "You can't. That's taking advantage of his injury, that's wrong!"

"It makes everything so much easier," he tried to explain. She had to understand, she had to.

"For you!" She shouted, almost spat at him, standing up. A few tears were escaping her, cascading in silent, salty streams down her cheeks. "But what about Johnny? So what if he doesn't remember, Alpha team was still everything to him. It's horrible to try and take advantage of him like that!"

"He doesn't remember."

"Well, I do," she said, wiping at her cheek with the back of her hand. Her curly hair bounced as she turned to the door. She stopped to look back at him before she left, eyes burning brightly with the fires inside of her. "Where'd you put our Ben?" she whispered.

He flinched as she slammed the door. Maybe she was right, okay, he could admit that. But there was no other way. Johnny would understand.

But somehow, Eevee affected him a little too much.

...

Jonah stepped into the hospital's small patient kitchen and stopped dead. That mean girl was here. She looked up at him from her position at the counter. "Oh, hey, Lone Ranger."

"Hey, Jasmine," he said. "Yeh know, name-callin' ain't nice."

"Why not?" She flipped her hair dismissively. "You need something?"

"Wonder bread and Skippy peanut Butter," he said, putting his hands in his pockets. "Not that ahve ever heard of those."

"You've never heard of...?" she laughed a little. "Where've you been for the past sixteen odd years of your life?"

"The eighteen hundreds," he said wistfully, grabbing the peanut butter. "Good ol' California, 1885."

"What?" Jasmine stopped laughing. "You're serious."

"Why wouldn't ah be?" Jonah finished the sandwich and put it on a plate. "Now if yehll excuse meh, ma'am, ah have this sandwich to deliver." He tipped his hat to her and walked out, leaving Jasmine torn between confusion and pity. What a crazy guy.

"Wait," she called. He stopped and glanced over his shoulder. "You're Jonah, right?"

"Jonah Danger, at yehr service, ma'am," he said.

"Okay," she nodded. "See you, Annie Oakley."

"See yeh, Young Wolf," he smiled and kept walking, turning a corner. She smiled too, but only after he was out of sight. What a crazy guy. But he was kind of cool.
