"I think she's waking up . . ."

"I'm getting a faint reading, doctor . . ."

"Step aside, give her some air . . ."

She could hear voices all around her. Where am I? Or more importantly, who am I? I don't remember anything. All I remembered was my head spinning, and the water . . . the large, never ending blue water . . .

"Doctor, the reading is getting clearer, sir . . ."

She slowly opened her eyes. The lights blinded her, and it took a while for everything to come into focus. She saw two doctors and one nurse. "Where am I?" she asked.

The doctor with a blue mask smiled at her. "You re at the Tokyo Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. Are you feeling all right, Miss Akira?"

She rubbed my head. Akira, that name sounds familiar. Tokyo, Japan, what are these places? "What do you mean, Tokyo. Who's Akira? What are you talking about?" she questioned.

The two doctors mumbled something to each other. The same blue-masked doctor said, "I'm afraid that you have amnesia, Miss Akira. You were the only survivor of the plane crash out in the Pacific. You --"

She cut him off, "You mean the large body of water?"

He nodded. "Ah! So you do remember some! Yes, it was the large body of water. You crashed into the water not far off the coast and somehow managed to float out here. Someone found you and brought you in. A very nice young man, if I do say so myself. The only identification we could find was your name at the bottom of your drawings. They are very good, might I add. They said Akira. Were we right? Is that your name, ma'am?"

"I don't know," she replied, "It sounds very familiar." She thought very hard. "Yes! That must be my name, for I remember drawing those, so that has to be it."

The doctor smiled. "Well, then, Miss Akira, your memory is coming back quickly. Familiar things will come back fast, but old memories will take longer, possibly a month or so, maybe longer. Unfortunately, there may be some memories that never come back. Here is your medication. Nurse Kiree will take you back to the waiting room, where that young man is waiting for you. He is very nice to stay around and make sure you're okay. Here's my card, call me if you have any problems." said the doctor.

"Thank you sir." Akira replied.

"Come with me," said Nurse Kiree. Pan followed her to the waiting room, where a young man, probably in his late twenties, looked up. He was pretty handsome. He had lavender hair and deep blue eyes, which made Akira think of the ocean. They were vast, deep, and calmed the senses.

*Flashback*

The sunset was a beautiful orange, and the waves crashed against the beach. Akira, Akira, they said. Akira . . .

*End Flashback*

Akira snapped back into reality. "She'll be fine. You're a very good man to do this for a stranger, sir. I'm sure that she is very grateful. Here is her medication." She told him. Turning to Akira, she said, "Good luck, I hope you feel better." With that, Nurse Kiree left to go tend to the other patients.

The young man smiled sweetly at Akira and said, "Konichiwa. My name is Trunks Briefs, I'm sorry about all of this."

His voice was soft, gentle, and sincere, as if he were talking to a respected adult, yet he sounded so familiar. The mere sound of his voice sent chills up and down her spine. She smiled back at him. "My name is Akira. Thank you for being so kind to a stranger. I don't mean to be abrupt, but what exactly is going on here?" she asked.

He smiled sweetly again, and said, "Why don't we head to Wal-Mart and buy you some new clothes. Yours are tattered a bit. We can talk about it on the way. Sound fair?" he asked.

"Sure. I could use some new clothes. Hey, what's this?" Akira asked, pulling out a tin box. Opening it, she saw 5 small capsules in it. Trunks leaned over to look at the tin box.

"You have capsules?! That's great!" he exclaimed.

She was confused. "Capsules? What are capsules?" Akira asked curiously.

He smiled again. "They hold large things in small containers. Watch this. You press the button on the top and throw it away from you like that, see?" he said, while tossing the small can to the ground. To Akira's amazement, there was a large cloud of smoke, and when it cleared, there was a small wardrobe in front of her.

"Wow! How did you do that?!" she asked.

"It's science." He replied. Akira opened the door and looked at the array of clothes. "Are these all mine?" she asked.

"Of course. Everything in these capsules is yours. To make them return to capsule form, press the red button on the side." He said, pressing the red button. "Come on, lets go." He said as he started the car.

"Okay!" She said, grabbing the capsule and hopping into the car. It felt so good to feel the wind whipping in her face as they drove on the highway. "So, sir, what exactly is going on. I remember the doctor saying something about anfishia."

Trunks laughed. "No, not anfishia, amnesia. It means that you lose some of your memory, but it's only temporary. The doctor said that if you take the medication, you will begin to remember things. By the way, call me Trunks."

"Oh. Okay. So Trunks, since I have all the clothes I need, let's get something to eat, I'm starved. I can pay for it, I should have my credit card in one of those capsules, at least I remember what a credit card is . . ." Akira said.

"Don't worry about it Akira, it's on me. Buffet sound good to you?" he asked. Akira nodded.

The poor chefs never saw it coming, they ate almost the entire buffet. It was kind of funny, since Akira was surprised that she had such a large appetite, and Trunks didn't notice.

When they were waiting for the check, Akira asked Trunks, "You seem really familiar, have we met?"

"No, I don't think so." He replied.

"So, do you live here, or are you on vacation?" she asked.

He twiddled his fingers. "Well, Last year, I took up a job as an accountant at one of the large buildings in Satan City. Just recently, I was promoted to a better job here, in Tokyo. My family lives in Satan City, so I live in an apartment by the shore. That's how I found you. I take my daily strolls on the beach, and I saw you, you had washed up onto the beach. Since you were unconscious, I took you to the hospital. That's how you're here now." He said.

Akira smiled at him. "Oh! That reminds me, can you suggest a hotel that I can stay at?" she asked.

Trunks smiled his warm smile again and replied, "Well, the Imishia Hotel is nice, but it is slightly expensive. You could stay at my place for tonight, it has two bedrooms. My sister lives with me so she can be around her friends, but she's going to be at a friend's house."

Akira smiled. "No, I think I can manage, but thank you anyways." she said. Trunks paid the bill and dropped her off at the hotel.

"Thanks for everything!" she called after him as he sped off. She rented a nice room and flopped down on her bed. She got a good night's rest, and was awoken by the telephone ringing. It was around 9:30 am. She picked it up. "Hello?" she said wearily.

"Hi!" said a familiar voice.

She recognized it immediately. It was Trunks. "Hi!" she replied cheerfully.

"Hey, is everything going all right?" he asked.

"Yes, is fine. You?"

"Oh, just fine. Would you like me to show you around the city? You can meet my sister, she wants to meet you, since you are so close in age."

Pan smiled. "That would be wonderful!"

"I'll pick you up in half an hour, then?"

"Sure. See you there."

"Bye."

Akira plopped on her bed. She couldn't wait. There was only one problem. What was she going to wear? She raided her wardrobe, and found the perfect outfit. It was a white tank with silver bellbottoms, white sandals, and a silver bandana. She smiled in the mirror, filled her purse with money and make-up (even though she didn't know how to use it), and walked outside to wait for Trunks and his sister.

As soon as they arrived, Akira was complimented by Trunks and introduced to Bra. They became friends right off the bat. As they were talking in the backseat, Trunks thought, Akira looks a lot like Pan, especially with that bandana, but that can't be, Pan lives in Hawaii, and only visits on the Christmas holidays . . . oh well . . .

Akira and Bra decided to go shopping together, so Trunks went to work 2 hours early. As he looked over the pile of papers on his desk, he thought about how Pan might be doing in college. I hope she's enjoying it there.
