A/N: This was a bell ringer for my English III class that I wrote back in October 2018. And before you go commenting it, yes this is referencing "Finding Dory" and it switches from young dory to her parents' point of view with it all being told throughout Dory's memory like the movie. This is kinda like an idea of Human Dory's backstory because yee

A woman was looking into a mirror, when sudden memories flash of her younger and happier. She's with her parents, playing hide and seek and collecting sea shells on the beach. Her mother was kind and loving and her father was wise and assuring. One night, things changed when she over hears her mother crying as her father was trying to assure her. "What's gonna happen to her? She won't be able to make it out on her own with her-" "Shh." Her sobs were cut off by her husband's shushing. "It's gonna be okay, don't worry. I'm sure she'll be fine." He assured soothingly, gently stroking his wife's light blue hair. Quick to act, the girl wanted to cheer her mother up by finding her a purple shell by the beach, knowing that they were her favorite. So she sneaks out of the house and heads off toward the beach that's sitting right by her house. Her parents noticed her missing and went out to go look for her. The girl kept searching and searching until she felt the ground disappear from her feet as she started to fall off the ledge her parents would always warn her about and tell her to never go near. Hearing the girl's screams, her parents run off to where they think it came from, frantically calling her name. When they got to the ledge, they don't see their daughter. The girl lands on the ground, a world of pain stung throughout her body. She slowly got up and started calling for her mommy and daddy but there was no response. She soon got scared and started calling for anyone for help. She stopped trying and sat by the wall of the ledge, crying into her knees, knowing she was lost and away from her dearest mother and father. Soon, she started forgetting their names, what they look like, the fact they're her parents, until she soon fully forgets her parents entirely for she has short-term memory loss.
