Sail Away Part two
I do not own these characters, I wish I did. The Hansen family is owned by NBC. I do own Rick. Syd's boyfriend, hope you enjoy it.
A warm sunny day:
It has been a day since Syd has been released from the hospital and Syd is in the kitchen the next morning when Joanie walks in with Hannah.
Joanie: (in a cheerful voice) Morning!!
Syd looks up from what she is reading.
Syd: Maybe it's a good one for you but not for me.
Joanie puts Hannah in her high chair.
Joanie: What's the problem?
Syd: Well.... Let's see.... There's that little thing called not being able to remember and then there's what am I gonna do with my day?
Joanie: Why don't you come to The Barkery with me and then around lunch time we can go by the clinic.
Syd: Is this the clinic you keep telling me about, the one I own?
Joanie fixes a pot of coffee and gets out some juice for Hannah.
Joanie: Yep, the same one.
Syd folds the newspaper and puts it beside her. She puts her coffee cup in the sink.
Syd: So guess who came to see me yesterday?
Joanie: Let me guess, your next husband, my next husband?
Syd: Rick.
Joanie: The lifeguard?
Syd nos.
Syd: He asked me out, for when I get my memory back that is.
Joanie: Way to go Syd. Man, you need to get your memory back in a hurry.
Syd: I wish it were that simple Joanie.
Joanie: Well maybe we can think of something that will jog your memory.
Syd nods.
Syd: Hum.
Joanie: Well go get dressed and you can come to the Barkery with me.
Syd heads for the guesthouse.
Syd: I'm going.
Syd goes into the guesthouse and starts getting dressed. As she is getting ready for her shower Lynda appears beside her.
Lynda: Don't worry dear; I have someone who will jog your memory.
Syd turns around and gives Lynda confused look.
Syd: Who?
Lynda shows Syd someone standing in the mirror.
Syd: That's me!!
Syd: Mother what's going?
Lynda: That is your better half, the part of you that can still think straight.
Syd: Now there's a scary thought.
Syd's twin steps out of the mirror and takes Syd's hand.
Syd: Mom what's going on?
Syd's twin: Don't worry you'll have your memory back in no time. All I have to do is get inside of you.
Syd: OK.
Syd's twin steps in front of her and quickly vanishes.
Joanie: (knocking on the door) Syd, you ready?
Syd: (with a puzzled expression on her face) Joanie I'm late.
Joanie comes in and pulls Syd by the arm.
Joanie: I know we're late come on.
Syd: No, I can't.
Joanie stops.
Joanie: Why not?
Syd: I'm already late for work now if you'll excuse me Izzy probably needs help opening up.
Syd goes past her sister and gets in the car.
Joanie looks at her with a shocked expression on her face.
At St. Clare's:
Syd walks into the clinic to find Izzy at the front desk.
Syd: Morning Izzy.
Izzy looks up.
Izzy: Morning Syd, I thought you'd be home resting.
Syd heads back to the office.
Syd: I'm fine. I had this incredible dream and when I woke up everything made since.
Izzy: That's good.
Syd: So let me see those patients.
Izzy: Well there's Mr. Adams in three........
Syd smiles to herself, glad to be at work so quickly.
At the Barkery:
Joanie is talking to Elliot.
Joanie: It was like one minute she was completely out of it and the next minute she was Dr. Hansen, hero of the world. I'm telling you Elliot it was creepy.
Elliot: Maybe she just got the sense knocked back into her.
Joanie: It was still creepy. I was gonna bring her here today and let her see what I put up with everyday.
Elliot looks hurt.
Joanie: I didn't mean that.
Elliot: Sorry. So, what are you gonna do?
Joanie: I don't know.
Joanie thinks a minute.
Joanie: Maybe we could take her to lunch today.
Elliot: That wouldn't be a bad idea.
Joanie smiles.
Joanie: Yeah.
At O'Neils: around twelve:
Syd walks into O'Neils to find Robbie at the bar.
Syd: Robbie!
Robbie looks up.
Robbie: Hey sis, how's it going?
Syd sits down at the bar.
Syd: Well the patient load is pretty light today but I'm starving.
Robbie: (with a confused look on his face) Wait a minute, patient load? As in the clinic?
Syd nods.
Syd: Yes, what did you think I was talking about, dad's clinic?
Robbie: Well yeah. Isn't it a little soon for you to be thinking about going back to work?
Syd: I'm fine Robbie, really.
Robbie: OK, if you say so. So, what can I get you.
Syd: I'll have a hamburger and water.
Robbie: Coming right up.
Robbie disappears in the back to get Syd's food.
Syd looks around the bar and then notices someone walk through the door, Rick.
Rick: Syd! I thought you'd be home resting.
Syd: Nope, I'm actually back at work.
Rick sits down beside Syd.
Rick: So I see you got your memory back huh? That was fast.
Syd laughs.
Syd: Well you know. So, you here for lunch?
Rick: Yea, I guess you could say that.
Syd: Me too, would you like to join me?
Rick: I would love to.
Syd smiles.
Syd: Great!
Then Joanie and Elliot walk in and see Syd with Rick.
Elliot: Who is Syd with?
Joanie: The guy that saved our life.
Elliot: He's nice.
Joanie: yeah, he is.
Joanie and Elliot go over to Rick and Syd.
Joanie: Syd?
Syd turns around, surprised to see her sister.
Syd: Joanie! What are you doing here?
Joanie: Well Elliot and I were going to treat you to lunch but I can see you've already taken care of that.
Syd laughs.
Syd: Joanie this is Rick, the one who saved.....
Joanie: I know, we met, hi Rick.
Rick: Nice to see you again Joanie.
Joanie: You too. Well Syd we're just gonna go find a table and leave you two alone
Rick: Bye Joanie.
Joanie waves, pulling Elliot along with her.
Elliot: (whispering) He looks good for Syd.
Joanie: Shh, can we talk about this later?
Elliot nods and they sit down.
Over at the bar:
Rick: So, are we still on for that dinner date?
Syd: Sure! Just say when and where.
Rick: I was thinking perhaps tonight at The River Club?
Syd: Sounds wonderful.
Then her pager goes off. Syd looks down to check it.
Syd: uh, it's the clinic, I gotta go.
Rick: See you at seven?
Syd: Perfect.
Syd grabs her purse and storms out the door. She smiles as she thinks about the night ahead.
Later that night:
Syd and Joanie are in the guesthouse. Joanie is helping Syd get ready for her date with Rick.
Joanie: So where are you two going?
Syd: The River Club.
Joanie: Nice.
Syd: Joanie can I ask you something?
Joanie: Sure.
Syd: How do you know if a guy really likes you?
Joanie thinks for a moment and then answers.
Joanie: Well you just know. I mean there's not a certain rule you have to follow. Why?
Syd: Just wondering.
Then the doorbell rings.
Syd: I bet that's him. How do I look.
Joanie: Fantastic! Go get 'em Girl!!
Syd smiles and takes a deep breath. She goes into the house and walks to the door.
Rick: (standing on the doorstep with flowers in his hand) Hi. You look lovely.
Syd smiles.
Syd: Thanks. So, ready to go?
Rick holds out his arm for her and Syd takes it.
Rick: You bet.
Joanie smiles as her sister goes off with Rick. She's glad that her sister is finally dating again.
