Notes: Remember that words in 'italics' are thoughts!
Enjoy .. the chapter ! (is still running away from lawyers)
"Tidus … Tidus …" he heard a soft feminine voice calling, but it was vague. Was he dreaming?
"'Ey! Sleepyhead!" That one wasn't a female … "Wake up!" Then he felt someone taking a hold of his shoulders and shaking them. That's when he woke up. It wasn't a dream, was it?
"What? Huh?" he leapt out of his chair. Yuna was still sitting in her hospital bed, and Wakka was to the left of him. He probably was the one that woke him up. "Hey! Don't wake me up like that again!"
Wakka shrugged. "Sorry Tidus, ya? But Yuna here was saying you were asleep for more then two hours!"
To this, Yuna nodded.
"Don't wanna fall asleep for a long time, ya? Or else you won't be able to fall asleep tonight."
"What? Two hours?" Tidus looked at his watch. It was true. It was already two seventeen.
"Besides, don't we have a science test to study for?" Wakka asked.
"Yeah, I know about that Wakka. I was planning to leave around four …" Tidus told Wakka. "I don't want to leave Yuna alone here since I have to go to school, though. I wish I didn't have to."
"School?" Yuna spoke up. Tidus had even forgotten she was in the room. She was being quiet … she was probably just listening to the conversation.
"Yes. School. Do you remember anything about school, Yuna?" Doctor Shelinda had entered the room. "Hello."
"Hi, Doctor Shelinda," Yuna, Tidus, and Wakka chorused.
"Do you know what school is, Yuna?" Shelinda asked again.
"I … I'm not sure … what is it? Can't you tell me?" Yuna really wanted to know.
"It's a place where you go to learn, ya? Prepares you for college, and college prepares you for life," Wakka told her, almost as if he memorized what school should do.
"Wakka, don't confuse Yuna …" Tidus whispered, cautiously.
"Oh, he's not confusing her at all," Shelinda replied. "In fact, it's better to tell her now then later. She'll understand better."
"What! No one ever told me that!" Tidus said, shocked.
Shelinda just shrugged. "Well, you never really asked."
Tidus just stood there open mouthed. He hated that come back – with a passion. He never could think up good come backs, until he was usually away from the situation. But once he was in the situation, all come backs just flew out of his mind.
Yuna giggled. "See, Tidus, I told you. You could tell me stuff."
Oh yeah. She told him so.
"What made ya think that you couldn't tell her stuff like this, Tidus?" Wakka asked him.
"I dunno. I just wanted to be safe and all," Tidus replied.
'Might be a little too safe …' Wakka thought.
"Well, Yuna? Do you think you remember anything about school?" Shelinda asked Yuna, one more time.
"Um …"
"It's okay. Don't force yourself if you can't remember anything. It's normal, so don't be afraid of that," Shelinda said, before Yuna started to get frustrated again. Like last time.
"No wait …" Yuna said, deep in thought.
"What?" Shelinda said, surprised. She couldn't have remembered anything … yet? Could she? It was possible, but unlikely … Yuna had taken such a hit from the car accident.
"Do you remember something, Yuna?" Tidus asked her.
Yuna only closed her eyes and said what she was seeing in her mind as she saw them …
(A/N: Here, the words in italics are flashbacks that are in Yuna's mind. But the words that are in normal font are things that Yuna is saying to Tidus, Wakka, and Shelinda. I hope that made sense.)
Flashback
The voices were faint … but she could still hear them …
"Noooooo! I don't wanna go! Don't make me! Why can't I stay here with you mommy?" Yuna hung on tight to a woman's arm. Apparently, they were her mother's legs.
"I see someone … me, I think. I'm … I'm holding on to a woman's arm, something like that. I can't see the woman clearly … I guess she's my mom …" Yuna said, her eyes still closed.
Tidus, Wakka, and Shelinda looked at each other in shock. Yuna had only been in the hospital for about two days and she already had begun remembering something.
"Apparently, the definition of school has triggered something in her mind …" Shelinda murmured.
"Oh, Yuna, honey, first grade isn't going to be bad. You're going to like it, I'm sure," the woman replied. She probably was Yuna's mom. "Honey, I'm driving. Can you let go of my arm?"
"I don't want to go Mommy … I wanna stay with you," Yuna said, crying. But she did release her grip from her mother's arm.
"The woman is saying that 'first grade' isn't bad and that I'm going to like it I look … so small … what's first grade?" Yuna opened her eyes.
"We'll explain later. Please, try to remember again, Yuna," Shelinda encouraged.
Yuna's mother made a sound that sounded like a sigh. "Here we are, Yuna. Besaid Elementary School." After finally finding the room that Yuna's class was in, Leah Lesca – Yuna's mom – looked at her watch. "Oh. I'm late; I have to go now, Yuna."
Realizing that resistance as futile, Yuna gave in. She weakly said 'good-bye' to her mom and sat down on the floor of the room and started crying.
Someone came up to her. "Why are you crying? Don't cry."
After explaining this to Tidus, Wakka, and Shelinda, they all just stared at her, amazed. Yuna … remembered something. Already?
"This is amazing!" Shelinda exclaimed. "Simply amazing! I don't think anyone has remembered something this fast!"
"Ya, she could be in the Guinness Book of Spiran Records, eh?" Wakka said, of course he was joking.
(A/N: I don't think such a book exists. Just in case it does, I don't own it o.o)
Yuna looked quite proud of herself, since she was able to remember something. But she was really happy as well; she at least wanted to know something from her past. And now, she did.
"Is that even possible, Doctor Shelinda?" Tidus asked. "Am I … dreaming?"
Wakka came up behind him and pinched Tidus.
"Hey, ouch! What was that for?" Tidus said, glaring at Wakka.
"You're not dreaming, ya?" Wakka said.
"Well, it does seem possible, Tidus," Shelinda said, in response to Tidus' question. "I'm not quite sure how, even right now. But perhaps Yuna had enough will to remember … that might play a key part, but there's no evidence for that …"
Tidus POV
That day was almost three weeks ago, already. Shelinda had studied the reason why Yuna was able to remember so quickly, and she couldn't find any solid reason. She just thought that it was Yuna's will. But that was the only thing Yuna remembers, why, we don't know.
Yep. The three weeks that Yuna had to stay in the hospital actually passed by really quickly after that day. Yes, I did take that science test, and it was an absolute horror. Well, not really, but I did have a hard time taking it.
After Yuna had gotten better, Shelinda didn't want Yuna to stay at her house by herself. I asked Yuna to stay at my house, and she accepted.
Oh right, Lulu and Rikku got out of the hospital before Yuna did, since there injuries weren't as severe. Rikku and Lulu had also asked Yuna to stay at their house instead, but since Yuna hadn't seen them as much as she had seen me in the hospital; she didn't want to go to their houses. She didn't trust them as much.
Well, I'm not saying I've regained her full trust, but she knew me slightly more then Lulu and Rikku. Plus, I think Rikku's brother at her house frightened Yuna when Yuna visited Rikku's house.
Anyways, one day, Yuna and I were walking down Besaid's "heart of the city." It was a Saturday, and I wanted to show Yuna a bit more of Besaid. She's basically only seen the neighborhood parts of it. Yuna hasn't still doesn't remember much, except for that one memory. So I thought maybe showing her Besaid would help regain some.
And there he was. Right in front of a small coffee shop. That's where we saw him. Yes. Him … and we --- well, I --- was absolutely disgusted to see HIM again.
We had seen him, but had he seen us?
Normal POV
Yuna saw Tidus gazing at the man in front of the coffee shop. Curious, she asked, "Who's he?"
Tidus hadn't noticed that Yuna had caught him looking at the guy. "He who?"
"The one you're looking at," Yuna explained. "Is there something wrong with him?"
Tidus thought about what to say to that. "Well, yeah, there sort of is. You used to know him … and he didn't treat you as right as you should be treated."
At that, Yuna instantly had fear in her eyes. "What … what did he do?"
Tidus clenched his fist as the guy did look him in the eye. The guy seemed to have a look on his face … almost a cross between a scowl and a sneer. He started walking toward them. They wouldn't be able to get away … he had already seen them.
"Tidus?"
Fist still clenched, he replied, "He cheated on you. Badly."
"Let's try to go …" Yuna suggested.
"Too late …" Tidus said. He had already come face to face with them.
"Tidus," he said, as a greeting. Just acknowledging him.
"…Seymour," Tidus said in a reply.
"Uh … Yuna?" Yuna said. Well, as long as they were saying names …
Tidus laughed, but just a small laugh. Seymour didn't seem fazed.
"Why, Yuna … what a pleasure it is to meet you here, hmm?" Seymour said, taking her hand, and was about to kiss it when, Yuna slapped him away.
"I beg your pardon," Yuna said, disgusted. "But I don't even … uh … know you."
"Don't know me? Yuna, we –"
"Where's Dona, Seymour?" Tidus interrupted.
Seymour had been glaring at Yuna for slapping him away, but he switched his glare to Tidus. "That is none of your business."
"I think it's our business," Tidus replied. "Considering Dona is the reason you broke up with Yuna. Or cheated, if you want to put it that way."
As if it had been planned, Dona was seen walking down the street on the other side. She hadn't noticed them, thankfully, because she was in a conversation with Bickson Goer. Let's say, a rather, intimate conversation. (Or you could just say Bickson Goerwas whispering in her mouth ...)
(A/N: Yevon, I'm so uncreative. Bickson Goer?)
Tidus snickered. "So, you've been cheated on? Nice slap on the face, huh?"
"Shut up," Seymour said. He couldn't think up a good come back. "But I would like to talk to Yuna – in private."
"Um, why can't we talk in front of Tidus? And I still don't know your name," Yuna said, nervously.
Seymour sent Yuna a confused look.
"She's moved on and forgotten you, literally, Seymour. Just go away and leave us alone," Tidus told him.
Seymour ignored Tidus. "Yuna, we were fifteen and we were dating, remember now?"
"I don't remember," Yuna replied. "Just … just leave us alone!"
Seymour was a bit taken back by Yuna's sudden anger. Yuna didn't usually get angry. "What has happened to you, my dear?"
(A/N: Sorry to interrupt here. ((dodges stuff thrown by angry readers)) I just wanted to say that I'm going to be putting out three previews of stories I have been planning to put out once Amnesia was done. I want to know which one of these stories you want to see out first, so you'll be able to vote:) See ya at the end of the chapter! You'll see the previews there!)
"I'm … I'm not your dear, or anyone's dear, all right? I … I got amnesia, okay? Just go away, I don't wan to talk about it …" Yuna said, starting to walk away.
"Yuna!" Tidus called. Tidus turned to Seymour. "Congratulations. You've officially pissed me off. Look what you've done now!"
"Oh. Pissing you off?" Seymour said, sneering. "Since when is this a new thing?"
"Bastard," Tidus said, under his breath. "Leave Yuna alone. She's going through a rough time right now, and she doesn't need you in it."
Tidus ran off, trying to catch up to Yuna.
"Rough time, you say?" Seymour said, smirking evilly. "So. She doesn't remember me. I might be able to take advantage of this situation …"
With that, Seymour went off. To think of how to do just that.
So, what do you think? Good? Bad? Awful? Horrendous? Anyways, next chapter! Here's a small preview:
(Tidus POV) "So you met Seymour again, huh?" Lulu questioned. We were all sitting at a table in my house. Yuna was upstairs in the guest room, she had just woken up and was getting dressed.
"Yeah. It was horrible. Apparently he broke up with Dona," I replied.
Rikku scrunched up her nose. "Seymour? That ugly person with blue hair and tattoos on his face? Yuck!"
We all murmured in agreement, when we heard a loud noise from upstairs. It sounded like … a scream.
Instantly I feel afraid. "Yuna!" I call out.
That's it for the preview! And as I promised, here are three new stories I'm planning on putting out when Amnesia is done! Vote for which one will be able to get out first! Oh, and if you're wondering why I had to interrupt at one point in the chapter, I just had a feeling that no one really looked at what was down here, and I just wanted to make sure you saw this!
Story One: "No Title Yet (Send in suggestions!)" Tidus finds Yuna again, after long years without her in college. But when he does find her, he finds out that she's already getting married – and not to him! Will old memories and old love come back? YunaxTidus
Story Two: "Lost" Tidus doesn't remember what had happened the night before, but all he knows now is that he somehow got to Besaid, far away from his hometown, Zanarkand. With a little help from a new friend he made, is he going to find his way back? YunaxTidus (surprise, surprise.)
Story Three: "Just Helpin' You Out!" When Tidus' grades drop, he won't be able to be on the Blitzball team anymore. To prevent that from happening, he'll need to get a tutor to help him out. And who would that tutor be? Yuna Lesca, one of the most popular and smartest girls in Zanarkand High. What'll happen then? Oh, and one more thing. They hate each other's guts. But can that change? TidusxYuna, a little LuluxWakka
So you got a favorite out of these three previews? Well, if you do, say which one is your favorite in your reviews, and tell me what you want first! Which ever gets the most votes come out after Amnesia is finished!
Until next time, please review!
