'Yes. There is something very wrong with this picture.' Tidus continued thinking. Yuna had stopped crying, after Shelinda had told her that it was all right. 'Ha, Shelinda probably said "It's all right Yuna. Don't cry." about twenty or so times.'

Shelinda got up when Yuna had stopped crying. "Yes, I think Yuna should be home in two weeks. Maybe more. Like I said, it depends on how she is during the next two weeks. If something comes up, then she'll have to stay longer."

Tidus simply nodded. "Okay. I understand."

"Now, if you excuse me, I have to check on Ms. Alon," Shelinda told him.

Again, Tidus simply nodded.

Shelinda sighed. "Don't worry Tidus. I'm pretty sure Yuna will be fine. She has retrograde amnesia, which means she can't remember much before the car crash. Since she hit her head pretty hard, the trauma is a bit severe. She will be fine in a few weeks, maybe months."

Tidus looked up from the ground. "Months? You mean, my best friend won't be able to remember me for MONTHS?"

Shelinda sighed. Yes, wasn't that what she just said? Maybe this guy needed therapy or counseling …

"Yes. Hopefully not months. Her memory may return in a few weeks. You see, when she does start to remember, she'll start to remember older memories first. Memories from maybe when she was a baby, a young child, a pre-teen, a teenager."

'I met Yuna when we were six or so. Maybe almost seven. Then, according to what Doctor Shelinda says, she'll remember me in a few weeks. A few weeks, Tidus. You can make it. Right?'

"Then, she'll remember more recent memories, like now. Maybe all of her memory will then be recovered. So you see Tidus, Yuna will be just fine."

'See? She'll be just fine … just a few weeks Tidus. C'mon, can you make it or not?'

"Tidus?"

'Maybe I can hasten the process of her memories being recovered. You know, make her look through photo albums or something?'

"Tidus!"

'Yeah, that might work.'

"TIDUS!" Shelinda almost yelled.

Tidus snapped out of his daze. "Huh? I mean, yes?"

"Did you hear what I just said?" Shelinda said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Of course I did! She'll remember her recent memories, then her old ones," Tidus said, almost triumphantly.

Shelinda sighed in relief. Good, she didn't need to explain that whole thing over and over again. "All right. If you want to talk to Yuna, go ahead, but don't do anything that will scare the lights out of her."

'Me? Scare the lights out of Yuna? Hah. Yeah right.'


"Doctor Shelinda, Ms. Rikku Alon has eaten her breakfast already," a nurse informed her.

"Good. She is still awake, is that correct?" Shelinda asked in return.

"Yes, she is, Doctor," the nurse answered.

Shelinda nodded. Like she did with Yuna, she sat by Rikku's bedside in a chair. "How are you feeling, Ms. Alon?"

Rikku yawned, "All right, I guess. My legs, arms, and chest still hurt though."

Because Rikku was sitting next to Lulu, who was on the left of the car, she didn't get hurt as much as Lulu and Yuna did. The left side of the car had hit the cement island, and Lulu and Yuna's heads – and bodies – had slammed against that. Rikku had been a bit luckier, yes, she did fly forward in her seat, but she didn't hit a cement island. But still, Rikku did get a few cuts and bruises. She had gotten the bruises from flying forward from her seat and hitting the dashboard, and had gotten the cuts by the flying window pieces.

Considering what Yuna got, however, Rikku should've been down on her knees thanking Yevon – though she was Al Bhed. But Rikku didn't know what happened to Lulu and Yuna. She knew they probably got injured, badly however. She wanted to ask.

"Doctor Shelinda, are Yunie and Lulu all right?"

Shelinda bit her lip. "Well, Lulu Palena is all right. She does have bruises and cuts, a lot more then you have, actually. Especially on her side. Luckily, there is no trauma, or anything like that."

Rikku smiled, "But what about Yunie?"

Shelinda sighed. How was she going to tell Rikku about this? She knew Rikku was Yuna's cousin. Rikku was probably going to be even more devastated then Tidus (since they were actually related) if that was even possible.

"Yuna … Yuna Lesca has bruises and cuts on her side as well. However … that's not the only thing that has happened to her."

Rikku's eyes widened, and she clutched the blanket that lay over her. "Is it something … really bad?"

Shelinda sighed. "Yes, Ms. Alon. I'm afraid it is."

"Well, what is it? Tell me!"

"Ms. Lesca … she has amnesia," Really. Was there a nicer way to put it? Yevon help her!

Rikku laughed nervously. "Haha! I thought you said Yunie had amnesia! I'm sorry, something must be wrong with my ears. What did you say?"

Oh, yes. What a major breakdown Rikku was going to have.

"Ms. Lesca, your cousin, has gotten amnesia. Retrograde amnesia, to be exact. Which means that she can't remember much that happened before the car crash," Shelinda braced herself for the impact that Rikku was going to cause.

Apparently, Rikku's Al Bhed language has not left her. "Fryd … dra … RAMM? Yuna? YSHACEY? Oui ryja KUD du pa gettehk sa!" ("What the hell? Yuna? AMNESIA? You have GOT to be kidding me!")

Shelinda was relieved. Sure she knew Rikku was mad – actually mad was an understatement. Shocked? Outrageous? Most likely. But Rikku was talking – actually, screaming – in Al Bhed, and Shelinda didn't understand Al Bhed. Thank Yevon that she didn't know what sort of … things … Rikku could be saying.

Shelinda let Rikku scream in Al Bhed. She couldn't shush her. Shelinda simply closed the door so she wouldn't wake the other patients.

Rikku just sat straight up on her hospital bed and cried. Yuna would not remember her, according to Shelinda! "Pid Yunie ec so pacd vneaht! Yht so luiceh! Cra ryc du nasaspan sa! Fa'na vysemo!" ("But Yunie is my best friend! And my cousin! She has to remember me! We're family!")

Shelinda explained to Rikku what she had said to Tidus. That Yuna was going to be fine in a few months, but they could hope that she would be better in only a few weeks. She explained that Yuna was going to remember her memories soon enough.

"Do you think you could hold out for a few weeks or months?" Shelinda had asked.

Rikku looked at her like she was crazy. "No! Hu! I can hardly last three days! I love Yunie, I really do! Besides Brother and Pops, she's the only close family I have …"

Shelinda felt sympathy for her. "I'm sorry Rikku. I really am. We'll try to see that we'll do the best for Ms. Lesca … Would you like to be alone?"

Rikku nodded. "Yes, if that is all right."

Shelinda closed the door behind her. Yevon was she ever glad to get out there! Yeah, she couldn't understand Al Bhed, but who knew what Rikku was saying? She could've been blaming Yevon on the whole thing!

And Shelinda believed in Yevon very much. She was getting too old for handling jobs like these.


Shelinda opened the door to room two-hundred-two. Wakka was standing by Lulu, talking to her in a soothing voice.

"Lu, I promise everything will be all right, ya? Sure you have bruises and stuff on your side, but they'll heal in no time, ya!" Wakka told her.

"Wakka … these are serious bruises. It will take a while for these to heal," Lulu told him.

"Ah, stop being so negative!"

Shelinda cleared her throat, indicating that she was there.

Wakka looked up, as did Lulu.

"Oh, eh, hello Doctor Shelinda!" Wakka greeted.

"Yes. It's good to see you again," Lulu told her.

"It's nice to see you two. How are you, Ms. Palena? How do you feel?" Shelinda asked.

"Hurting on the side, as usual," Lulu said in a grim voice. "Really hurting."

Shelinda examined Lulu's side. "Don't lean on this side so much. Try to lie straight on your back. That might help."

Lulu obeyed Shelinda's orders. "Yes. I'll try, thank you."

"Doctor Shelinda? Are Yuna and Rikku okay?" Wakka asked. He knew that Yuna had amnesia, but maybe Tidus was just bluffing.

Here we go again. Lulu and Wakka weren't related to Yuna, but hey, they were best friends. And, as far as she knew, Lulu and Wakka did not know any Al Bhed. Shelinda was going to have to brace herself. Hard. Screaming out words in English. Oh, Yevon. Why didn't she become a teacher or something instead! She didn't like going through this part where the family or friends had to go through the stage where the scream: "WHAT? She/he has WHAT?"

Might as well say the bad news first … no, should she say the good news first? Ah. Whatever.

"Well … Ms. Yuna Lesca … she's a bit worse then you and Ms. Alon," Shelinda said. Lulu lifted an eyebrow.

"But Ms. Alon is all right! She haw few bruises and cuts."

Wakka looked down to the floor. Tidus told the truth. Not that Wakka didn't believe Tidus; he just didn't like a situation where one of his friends wouldn't even remember him, Lulu, Rikku, or Tidus.

"I'm glad Rikku is all right. But what happened to Yuna?" Lulu questioned.

"She … has amnesia, Ms. Palena," Shelinda decided to just get it over with. "We're not sure how long it will take for her to recover her memories, but it will at least take a few weeks."

Lulu's eyes widened. She didn't yell, unlike Rikku. Shelinda quietly thanked Yevon. But who knew what was going through Lulu's mind?

"Would you … like me to leave you alone for a while?" Shelinda asked.

"Yes. That would be nice. I would like to talk to Wakka for a while, if I may," Lulu replied.

Again, Shelinda closed the door behind her as she walked out.

"Wakka. Have you seen Yuna? Does she really have … amnesia?" Lulu asked him. She may not have said it, but she was truly worried for Yuna.

"Yuna? Nah, haven't seen her," Wakka said.

Lulu got immediately curious. Haven't seen her? Why not? "Why haven't you seen her?"

Wakka grinned – a goofy grin, in Lulu's opinion. "While you were still lying here, not awake yet, I just stayed her, ya? Just in case you did wake up or something. I … didn't really have time for Yuna while I was staying here all the time, ya?"

Lulu smiled. So Wakka did care for her.

"But I knew anyway. Tidus told me, ya?" Wakka told Lulu. "But I don't know how Yuna is. Like I said, I haven't seen her, ya?"

"Well, go see her!"

Wakka blinked. "What? Why? And leave you?"

Lulu inwardly rolled her eyes. "Go see Yuna, see if she's okay, and then tell me. You can still walk. And Rikku too!"

"Oh right! Right," Wakka headed out the door.

"About two days, and he still doesn't know how Yuna is. He just sat here next to the bed seeing if I would wake up. Typical Wakka," Lulu said to herself.


Tidus was talking to Shelinda outside Yuna's room. "Shouldn't I or you tell the principal of Besaid High School that Lulu, Rikku, and Yuna are going to be gone for the next few weeks?"

"Already taken care of this morning. Your school is notified, don't worry," Shelinda assured. "But you, Tidus, still have to go to school. I hope you did not keep your hopes up."

Tidus groaned inside. He wanted to make sure that Yuna was all right, not worry over some upcoming science test that he had on Thursday. He barely studied for the stupid science test! And today was Sunday!

Tidus then noticed Wakka suddenly standing next to them. "Wakka! How's Lulu?"

"She's fine. A bit better then Yuna, I guess, ya?" Wakka asked.

Tidus cringed, though he didn't know why. That was true. Lulu and Rikku were in a better state then Yuna was.

"Is it okay to see Yuna?" Wakka asked Shelinda.

"Sure. Just don't scare her," Shelinda warned.

"Leave it to me, ya?" Wakka was confident. He was too confident that Yuna wasn't going to get frightened by him. Tidus followed Wakka into Yuna's room.

"Don't do anything stupid, Wakka," Tidus whispered to him. "Yuna doesn't know us right now. It's like we're some strangers off the street."

Yuna was still awake when the two entered the room. She stared at Wakka and Tidus. "Um … hi?"

"Hey Yuna!" Wakka introduced himself again. "I'm Wakka, and before this whole car crash thing, we used to be friends, ya?"

Yuna's eyes lowered to the ground. 'Why can't these memories just come flowing back to me? Now another person I don't know has come in, and I'm sure there are a lot more of people out there that I've forgotten …'

But Yuna smiled anyway. "Oh. I see … so, I'm guessing you and Tidus were friends too?"

'Wakka seems to actually be communicating with Yuna. I would've, if Shelinda didn't stop me. Ah, well, maybe it was for my own good anyway.' Tidus thought to himself.

"Ya! You, Tidus, Lulu, Rikku, and I are all friends! You'll meet Lulu and Rikku when they get better, ya?" Wakka said.

"I'll look forward to that," Yuna replied, and she smiled, even though behind her smile she was only confused.

"Don't worry, Yuna," Tidus stepped in. "You'll like them. I promise."
