Right. Here's the chapter! Thank you for reviewing, Ali6132 (actually, I have to confess that's the only MCR song I know – it was on some TD Character Theme Songs videos for Duncan's character. At least I do know the lyrics for this one off by heart... "They're gonna clean up your looks, with all their lies and the books, to make a citizen out of you...") and Nicky Haugh (Alejandro's my third favourite after Heather and Gwen, and although I like Zoey, she's a lot further down the list...Amee will be returning, but there's another twist there. I have two more stories coming up where an OC makes it further...one of them may or may not beat out Zoey...).

"It's been occurring to me I'd like to hang out with you, for my whole life..."

That night, I had a really disturbing dream...

"...night, beautiful." a demonic voice that was disturbingly familiar muttered in a darkly amused tone. I couldn't see anything, except for the outline of someone. The person was standing, looking down at me. "Hm, she is a pretty little thing when she's not warning everyone in sight about me."

I wanted to reply, say I didn't remember who he was, but I couldn't. I definitely remembered something, he was familiar, but I didn't know what it was.

The person gave a sigh. "Only because I don't have the time to waste to break her in for her boyfriend. She won't be here for long, anyway. Maybe after I'm finished with getting rid of Mike, I can see if she matches what I just called her."

Terror filled my mind and fear surged through my paralyzed limbs, as the figure moved out of my line of sight and called in a much more pleasant, innocent voice "Be right back!" Then he ran again, leaving me there...

"Could you shut up?"

My eyes snapped open. Heather was lying in the bed next to mine, propping herself up by one elbow. "Finally!" she snapped. "You were whimpering so much, I thought someone was slowly driving a knife into your heart or something."

I remembered the dream, and suddenly realized a connection. A memory was coming back to me – just flashes. Cameron falling through something and Mike...was it Mike? It was Mike's image I remembered, but in the show, Mal was pretending to be Mike...anyway, he was there, and I remembered...I remembered falling and...yes, it was Mal who knocked me down. "I...I think I dreamed about what happened when I got the memory block." I murmured. "Mal did it to me, and he was talking about 'breaking me in'...it was terrifying."

Heather gave an exasperated sigh. "If you have to talk about it, talk about it when I actually care, not when I'm trying to sleep, okay? It's half past two, and I need quiet. We don't all have quality earplugs!" She pulled her sleeping mask down and lay back down, leaving me to try to get back to sleep too.

The dreams I had afterwards all seemed to be memories. Well...maybe. I'd have to check everything out with the other flushed All-Stars, but the fragments I remembered seemed to fit in with what I knew. I had memories of watching Courtney and Gwen in a boxing ring, Sierra tucking her Smartphone into her bed and sleeping at the foot like a pet, me getting shot with leeches by Jo when Zoey dodged, and welcoming Duncan onto the Heroic Hamsters.

When I woke up the next morning, Heather was already gone, probably in the showers (there were ten for guys and ten for girls, so several of us had to wait for the others), so I decided to go and wait with everyone else who was waiting.

The first person I saw was Dawn, who was as serene as always..

"Hey, Dawn?" I said. "You know how you could tell I had memory problems?"

Dawn nodded, studying me. "You're starting to get some of them back, aren't you? The blurry part of your aura is slightly clearer. It should clear up completely once they're complete." She was quiet for another moment, and then added "By the way, you don't have to be anxious about seeing Alejandro again. He understands that you don't remember talking to him since the end of the last season you were together."

I frowned. "Okay, Dawn, I appreciate you telling me, but could you not read my emotions like that? Now I know why the other contestants called you creepy." I muttered the last part under my breath, and since Dawn's expression didn't change, I didn't think she heard me.

The inevitable happened only after my shower, and it just had to be unintentional. I literally knocked into someone as I turned a corner.

"Oh, sorry-" I began, but I trailed off as I looked up at the person I'd knocked into.

Alejandro smiled charmingly at me, as per usual. "It's good to see you, carino."

I smiled back a little. Although I still couldn't remember any times we'd talked on the island, I still felt a sense of familiarity and pure joy when he spoke. "I assume someone told you I have amnesia, so I can't remember...but have you ever called me that before?"

Alejandro laughed. "I believe I haven't, actually. And yes, Izzy did tell me." He became serious again. "Did you know that I was the one who found you unconscious? Mal had gone, but you were just a metre away from the root Cameron was clinging onto. I had to bring you with me for the rest of the challenge, even when Ezekiel caged everyone he found." He smirked. "I somehow don't think me finding you was part of Mal's plan. It made it slightly less believable when he told everyone I left Cameron without trying to help."

I nodded. "Thank you, then." I smiled again, suddenly. "Even though I can't remember us on the island, it doesn't feel like much time has passed since World Tour. Did we ever have that serious conversation I wanted, ie: the one that involved you, me and Heather?"

"I am still of the same view I had then." Alejandro told me. "You do have the key to my heart, I don't deny it. But, as much as I don't like it, Heather has it too. But it is clear that all three of us have to talk it out – and soon."

I nodded again. "Heather acts like she's doing me a favour by agreeing to it, but I think she wants to have everything cleared up too." I said softly. "So, in a few hours."

"Definitely." he answered. "Until then, mi amor." He kissed me – short and sweet, and then I walked back to my room.

Heather was there, texting something on her cellphone. She looked up as I came in, a strange smirk on her face. "Judging by that look, I guess he found you." she said. "I knew you'd want to talk casually first."

I frowned. "Wait, what?"

"I was doing you a favour." Heather said, tossing her ponytail (it may have been as long as it was in the first season, but she still tied it back). "My original plan was to drag you out there and force you to have that serious conversation you're dying to have. But both of us knew that a chance meeting would make things less awkward for you – Last night, I said he'd have to have a plan about talking to you, he came up with it. Don't take it for granted, I don't usually tell a guy where their girlfriend is to make things easier for said girlfriend."

I flushed. "So...you mean that me and Alejandro bumping into each other there was-"

"Planned?" Heather finished. "Duh. Stop blushing, and if you're going to yell at someone for it, yell at him. All I did was say he better be careful about it because you don't remember everything. And then suggested just using force. But I knew his plan of just randomly meeting you would work a whole lot better."

All I could do was take it well, so I just shrugged. "Okay. But we need to actually have a conversation. Like, today."

Heather shrugged too. "No problem. I said that last night too. It'll be right here, today."

I don't want to explain everything that was said in our conversation that day. I'll just give you the basics. We were completely honest with each other. The first thing Alejandro and Heather discussed was not really anything to do with me, so I just listened. Heather explained about why she'd done what she'd done on the volcano in the last season we were in. "I had to win it, and that was the only way."

"And you have to admit," I added, "After everything you did to Bridgette, Leshawna and Courtney, it was kind of fitting for Heather to do the same to you. You finally found out what it's like for them."

"I'm like you in that way, Heather." Alejandro admitted. "I focus on winning. Amethyst, you know that, too. It was never anything personal. Bridgette was missing her boyfriend so much that it was easy to charm her – she was an obvious choice to pick off first. And Leshawna was already falling for me. Without Harold around, it was a chance to pick off a strong competitor. And you have to agree that me being able to control Courtney was nothing but good, plus she didn't seem in the least bit hurt after she was eliminated."

I shrugged. "Whatever. Anyway, what's next?"

"My elimination this season!" Heather said forcefully.

"It was simply revenge for what you did to me on the volcano." Alejandro defended himself coolly. "I saw you hiding the invincibility statue, so I did what most anyone would have done in the same situation!"

"You were watching the whole time?" Heather exclaimed angrily. "Why didn't you help me? We were supposed to be in an alliance!"

"An alliance which we both knew was just a way to get one of us to let our guard down and be eliminated."

"Maybe." Heather admitted. She didn't really have an argument for that one.

"Moving on!" I said quickly. We had to get on with where we were now.

Alejandro was completely cool and calm about the next part of our discussion, and he stood by the same thing he'd told me already today. It wasn't just me or just Heather...it was both of us.

I kept my cool as I said the next bit. "After what happened at the volcano, I couldn't stop thinking about you." I told him honestly. "I don't know whether I told you on the island, but I've been single since then. I just want to be able to have things just as they were then, without all the stress of competing and the cameras watching our every move."

Heather raised her eyebrows. "Amee, remember on the race to Hawaii, you told me exactly what paying your dues meant. How come that didn't get caught on camera?"

Alejandro remembered it instantly, and answered for me. "We were in the blown-up cargo hold, where the cameras weren't working and it covered us from the other cameras. Even if it had been filmed, Chris would've been the only person who saw it. And if he had, he probably would've found somewhere to show some of it, just to develop more drama."

"Typical Chris." I sighed. "Is it just me, or has he been enjoying torturing everyone more this season? Was he better in the episodes I can't remember?"

"He was like that all season." Alejandro answered. "To be honest, he was a lot better early on, before I made my debut. I did watch clips of the first and second season on YouTube before the World Tour season started, just so I could prepare for being on the show."

"So that's how you knew everyone's weaknesses?" Heather said. She looked half-annoyed and half-impressed. "Wish I'd watched the fourth season." she muttered.

"Okay, off-track." I said quickly. "Heather, you're the only one that hasn't said your true feelings. It's your turn."

Heather rolled her eyes and sighed. "Okay, fine. I might've meant what I said on the volcano. I do feel something. It wouldn't stop me from getting to the million, though."

Alejandro gave her his most charming smile. "Of course not. If it did, you wouldn't be the Heather I know and love."

"Ugh!" Heather snapped. "Quit hitting on me! Just because I like you doesn't mean I like that!"

"Aw, Heather can't handle a little verbal affection?" I teased. "But seriously, what are we going to do. Alejandro, both of us want you, and you like both of us back, right? I guess that makes it your call."

Alejandro was silent for a moment. Finally, he said "Amethyst, I couldn't imagine life without having met you. If there was anyone I liked having on my team on the plane, it was you. I want you to stay mine. And Heather, you are the only woman I've ever known to have so much fire and to be able to outwit even me in a game. What drew me to you was the challenge. I know I haven't conquered you, but I would so much want you to be with me too."

"So what?" Heather asked. "Are you saying you think it's possible to date both of us?"

"Only if you are both all right with it."

Heather and I looked at each other. Finally, I said, "I'm okay with it if Heather is."

Heather shrugged, trying hard not to look bothered. "Sure. But if this is a love triangle, don't make Amee and I be any more than friends."

I giggled. "I assure you, Heather, you don't have to be worried."

I know it was weird, a three-way relationship. The other contestants gave us weird looks, too – except for Lindsay who didn't get it, Izzy who didn't care, Noah who was blasé about everything, and Dawn who seemed to understand everything and take it as standard. But hey, who cared? It worked for us. Most of the time, the three of us just hung out together. Sometimes it was just one of us girls with Alejandro (Heather didn't really have any other friends, but I made time to talk to my other friends too) and other times, it was just me and Heather as friends, but the three of us were perfectly happy to all be together.

I know it's a weird aspect. Stay with me here...I'm still writing! Please review!
