Author's Note: I don't own, You don't sue.

Well, all things must come to an end; so this is the beginning of the finale. Maybe I'll do a sequel in the future, what do you guys think?

Jill, Yes, I'm back. Shall be for another month.

Vokteren, Like I said, I'm used to being in the dark, so it doesn't really surprise me. And that chapter should be good, I rewrote it no less than ten times.

Zehro, I know you're reading this, how come you haven't said anything?

Oh, and I'm going to make a recommendation. Everyone reading this should read "Of Piano Keys and Remembrance" by Youkomon (I'm only recommending this one story) it's a decent Roll fic. And if you don't want to go looking for it, I've got a link on my profile page under 'Favorite Stories'.

Warning, Cliffhanger!

Tuesday 11:23 AM: Sakurai House

I sat at my piano playing songs from memory, as I pressed the keys I allowed my mind to wander.

"Um, is that some new version of Chopin, or are you trying to write a song?" Lan's voice shattered my thoughts.

"Oops." I chuckled as I realized that I had stopped playing songs and started pressing keys at random, "How long have you been there?"

"Since Beethoven started composing rag-time." He chuckled.

"I was just thinking about Chaud." I admitted, "I don't understand this rematch business."

"His pride's been wounded, I don't think he could handle it. Of course, humiliating him in the Tag-Team Tournament didn't help." Lan replied.

He paused for a second. "Higsby said that he wanted to see you today, he hunted down Frank and gave him a stern lecture. Frank's ready to apologize."

"Let me just check with my Mom and then we can go." I stood up.

Together, we entered the kitchen.

"Well, there you two are!" My Mom exclaimed, "I was just about to call you."

"You were?"

"Yes, are you ready for-" Mom cut herself off as I grabbed onto the edge of the table. "Are you alright?"

"Maylu!" Lan gasped.

My legs refused to support me, and I sunk down to a kneeling position on the floor. An incredible sense of dizzyness overpowered me; I blinked several times, trying to make it stop.

"I- uh," I moaned slightly, what was going on?

"Call an ambulance!" Lan shouted, "Hurry!"

"I'm on it!" Mega-Man's voice was equally loud.

"Maylu! Are you alright?" Roll was calling to me.

I couldn't answer; the dizziness was intensifying. My grip on the table gave away and I slumped to the floor.

"MAYLU!" Mom shouted.

"Hang on!" Lan whispered to me.

I felt myself being lifted up, and carried to the living room. I was gently placed on a sofa.

"Mom? Lan?" I managed to gasp, the dizziness was starting to fade, but I felt so distant from them, like I was barely conscience. "I…"

"Easy…" Mom's voice came to me, "Help is coming."

"The- everything's so fuzzy." I whispered as another round of dizziness hit me. I still felt incredibly weak.

"Where's that ambulance?" Lan sounded incredibly impatient.

The doorbell rang; seconds later I heard it open, and heard a pair of footsteps enter the room.

"Then she just collapsed," My Mom was saying.

"Alright, we'll take a look." Someone said.

I tried to sit forward, only to be gently pushed back. I didn't fight them; I was just too weak.

I closed my eyes trying to regain my sense of balance, and to stop the weakness that had taken control of me.

"We'd better take her in," A different voice cut through the darkness.

"I'll go ready the gurney." The first voice agreed.

I opened my eyes a little, and immediately squeezed them shut. If I opened them the slightest bit, I would feel even queasier.

"Uh," I felt myself being lifted onto a gurney

"Be gentle." Lan warned the medics.

Mom and Lan grabbed onto my hands. Their grip never wavered, as I was wheeled out of the house and into the ambulance. All through that eternal ride to the emergency room, they kept their hands in mine.

I had my eyes closed the entire trip, primarily to ward off the dizziness. Secondly, I was worried that if I opened them, the dizziness would return so strongly, I would become incoherent.

The ambulance came to a halt, and I was lifted from the truck and wheeled forward, a small bump told me that we were inside of the hospital…

Wednesday 11:43 AM: ACDC Hospital.

Darkness.

That's all I could see.

From the way I understood it, my eyesight had started returning so fast, that my brain couldn't handle it or something like that, which is why I got dizzy and weak. So, yesterday, they had bandaged my eyes, to keep me from straining them. Hopefully, they would take them off soon.

I heard footsteps, and a nurse brought in a tray of food for my lunch. I just picked at it, too worried to really eat.

I had waited all morning for someone to come, but no one had. The medics had even taken Roll away from me, and the silence was becoming unbearable.

"Where is everyone?" I asked aloud, I knew that Lan wouldn't intentionally stay away. Neither would my parents, so I couldn't figure out where they were.

"Well it's about time!" Lan's voice shot through the air as the door slammed open.

"Lan?"

"We tried to visit earlier, but the Doctors wouldn't let us." He explained, "But, we finally talked them into it." I felt a familiar device enter my hand.

"Roll?" I asked.

"It's me, I'm here." My Navi said from the P-E-T.

I heard someone else enter the room.

"And how are you feeling, Ms. Sakurai?" A new voice asked.

"Better, but I still don't understand what happened earlier," I explained, "At least not fully."

"Maybe I can explain that," The voice continued, "You see, the human brain is an extremely complex instrument. And there are several areas of the mind that do only one thing. For instance, one area stores the ability to write. Another reads impulses from your ears and translates them into the sounds you hear. Does that make sense?"

"I think so."

"It is possible for one area of the brain to become isolated from the rest." The doctor continued, "I think that the explosion damaged the nerves connecting the eyesight area of you mind to the rest of it. I can't imagine why your first physician didn't think of this."

"Anyway," he continued, "The part of your mind that translates optical input is still working fine, it just can't send its information anywhere. However, I think that your brain is making a new path to that isolated function, which is rare but not impossible."

"So I might be able to see again?" The idea sounded so absurd

"Maybe," The doctor cautioned, "I'm not sure that this is what's happening, but it's very probable. We let your parents come in because we're going to try and take the bandages off in a few moments, so you just get relaxed and I'll be right back."

"Hi," I said nervously. Now there was a chance that my sight would return? I didn't want to raise my hopes for no reason.

"It's wonderful news isn't it?" My mom asked.

"It is," I agreed, "I just hope I'm not raising my expectations for nothing…"

"Don't think like that." Lan said in a tone of voice that didn't give a place for disagreement.

"What!?"

"Don't put yourself down about this, if there's a 1/100th percent chance of this working, you have to believe in it."

"He's right, Maylu." My dad spoke up. "You've got to believe in yourself."

"I will." I agreed.

"Now then," The doctor's voice came into the room, "I need you to cooperate with me, Ms. Sakurai."

"What do you need me to do?" I asked.

"We need you to keep your eyes closed as the gauze unwinds, don't open them for any reason."

"O.K." I answered. After a second, I felt someone feeling around the back of my head, and the wrappings start to come undone.

"That's it." The voice stated, "Just relax and keep them shut."

The last round of cloth dropped off my face.

"Alright. Now, slowly open your eyes, be sure to take your time."

Hesitantly, I open my eyes…

CLIFFHANGER!

No, I'm not making this stuff up, there are medically documented cases of this happenining.

Saturday. Got that? Saturday.
