Scott inched away from Shelby's bed in complete shock. Then, started to move back towards her again.

"Shelby," Scott said in a voice that clearly said that he thought she was playing stupid. "It's me: Scott."

"Who?" Shelby asked confused. She looked around at everyone in the room. "Who are you people? What am I doing here?"

Before anyone could even think of how to answer, Dr. Price came into the room. She looked shocked that Shelby was even awake. She looked over at everyone and motioned them to leave the room.

"I'm sorry," Dr. Price said. "But you're all going to have to go out and wait in the waiting room while we run tests on Shelby. We have to make sure everything's okay with her."

"Everything's not okay with her," Daisy protested. "She doesn't know who we are."

Dr. Price let a worried sigh leave her mouth and said, "Okay. You still need go out and wait in the waiting room. I'm sorry."

Scott left reluctantly, still looking at Shelby. He was the last one out of the room.

Shelby looked at the doctor and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Shelby was frustrated. She had no idea what was going on. She didn't know who those people in the room were. She didn't know who the doctor was. She didn't know why she was in the hospital. And worst of all, she didn't know she was.

Scott paced back and forth in the waiting room. The minutes seemed like hours to him. He sat down in a chair, but he wasn't still. He started to bounce of his legs and he was continuously running his hands through his hair. He looked at the clock and watched as the seconds ticked away. For a while he felt that time was going backwards, but he knew that it wasn't. He stood up from the chair quickly forcing it to move a little and started to pace again.

Daisy stood up from her chair and walked over to Scott. She stopped his pacing by reaching up and putting her hands sternly on his shoulders.

"Will you stop it?" She asked frustrated. "You're making me even more nervous."

Daisy let go of Scott's shoulders and sat down in the chair again.

Scott looked down at her in disbelief.

"You should be nervous," Scott said. "Shelby doesn't remember who were are."

"Thanks for the news report. How about the weather?" Daisy replied sarcastically, and rudely, to Scott and turned away.

"Hey!" Peter said loudly to stop the two teens bickering.

Both of them looked at Peter and then looked down. Scott sat down in a chair again and looked at the clock. Time was still going by slowly for him. He looked over at Jess and Alice Merrick. He couldn't possibly imagine how they were feeling right now. He shook his head, looked down and sighed.

After what seemed like hours, Scott's head shot up as he heard foot steps coming down the hall way. He was, obviously, hearing foot steps the entire time for he was in a busy hospital but when the steps grew increasingly closer, he knew it was Dr. Price and that it was about Shelby.

"The good news is: Shelby's okay." Dr. Price said and paused. "Unfortunately, there is bad news. The bad news is: Shelby has a pretty severe case of amnesia. The type of memory loss Shelby's suffering from is very rare though. She remembers the basic things such as who's president, how many fingers, and what's 2+2. We even asked her more complicated questions and surprisingly she could give the name, symbol and atomic number of almost every element on The Table of Elements, but she doesn't remember who she is. And in not remembering who she is, she doesn't remember who any of you are either."

"Will she recover from this?" Alice asked in a shaky voice, fighting back more tears.

"There's a good chance she will but there's also a chance that she won't. We're not sure. There's no way to be positive about something like this." Dr. Price replied in a gentle voice.

Of course! I should've seen this coming. That's what The High Priestess card meant. Why didn't I figure it out sooner? Daisy mentally scolded herself.

"She is okay, though. Right?" Jess asked.

"She's doing well so far. But, one thing I will say: she has an attitude." Dr. Price said as if surprised by it.

Everyone sort of chuckled.

"That's Shelby for ya," Peter commented.

"Will she have to stay in the hospital until she gets her memory back?" Scott asked.

"No," Dr. Price replied. "She won't. But we're not sure if it's a good idea that she be placed back in Horizon. Then again, it's not up to us. We would like to keep her for tonight and monitor her while she sleeps but after that, it's up to you," She looked to Alice Merrick. "if she goes home with you or if she goes back to Horizon."

"I think she'd want to go to her home," Alice said. Peter was about to argue but Alice cut him off. "She will be going back to Horizon with Mr. Scarbrow. As much as I may not like to admit it, Horizon is her home."

Peter sighed, relieved. Daisy and Scott let our equally relieved sighs.

"Is that okay with you, Mr. Scarbrow?" Dr. Price asked.

"Yes," Peter replied. "Yes, of course."

"Okay. She still has to stay here tonight though. You can come and pick her up in the morning."

"Can we see her before we leave?" Scott asked.

"I don't think that would be such a good idea. She's very..." Dr. Price paused, trying to think of the correct word. "...moody right now."

"Doctor," Daisy said. "She's always like that. This is nothing new."

Dr. Price chuckled and nodded.

"Fine. But only for a few minutes." Dr. Price said and motioned the group to follow her down the hall and to Shelby's room.

Everyone walked into Shelby's room. Shelby's attention shot to them once the door was open.

"Hi, Shelby." Peter said gently.

"Don't call me that," Shelby snapped.

"What would you rather us call you?"

Shelby thought about that question for several moments. She had no idea what she wanted them to call her. The only reason she even told them not to call her that was because she didn't think that was her name. She didn't know her name. She didn't know anything about herself.

Shelby gave up on thinking of something and said, "I guess you guys can call me that. I mean, that's what my name is. Right?"

"Yes," Peter said and nodded.

"Okay, I know I'm suppose to know you all but I don't so why don't you guys tell me who you all are. Wait. Actually, let me guess.." Shelby pointed to Alice. "Mom?"

Alice nodded and gave a weak smile.

"Sister?" Shelby asked while looking at Jess.

"Yeah. I'm Jess," Jess replied.

"Dad?" Shelby asked Peter.

"No," Peter said. "Teacher. Well, principal and councilor."

"You're principal and you care so much about me that you're here?" Shelby asked, confused for she didn't understand how close Peter was to all of the students.

"It's a little bit more complicated than that." Peter replied calmly.

"Whatever," Shelby dismissed, shook her head slightly and looked at Daisy. "Friend?"

"Best friend, actually," Daisy corrected with a small smile.

Shelby smiled, nodded and turned to Scott. She scanned him up and down and the only thing she could thing was 'wow!'. He was attractive with no doubt but there was also a chance he could have been her brother so she wisely kept her thoughts to herself.

"I'm not really sure about you," Shelby said to Scott.

"Well, I'm a mix between best friend and boyfriend," Scott replied softly.

Boyfriend? Go me. Shelby thought to herself.

"Right," Shelby replied slowly with her eyes still locked on Scott. "Well, then I guess I'm one lucky girl."

The comment from Shelby brought a faint smile onto Scott's face. He knew, deep down, that it wasn't really Shelby saying it to him but it made him smile regardless. He was just happy that she was awake and physically healthy for the time being.

"I'm sorry but everyone needs to leave now. Mr. Scarbrow you can come a pick up Shelby in the morning." Dr. Price said.

"Wait. What? I have to stay here tonight? Why can't I go home? No offense, but I don't like hospitals." Shelby protested.

"It's all right, Shelby. I'll be here in the morning to get you. It's only one night." Peter said.

"You will be here?" Shelby asked confused.

"Yes. You'll be staying at school with them," Alice said.

"What? Am I such a nuisance to you?" Shelby asked.

"No," Daisy protested. "Trust me, if you had your memory, you would want to be at Horizon."

"I guess I should believe you. You're my best friend, right?"

"Okay," Peter said. "I'll be back in the morning to pick you up, Shelby."

"Right..." She trailed off, not knowing what to call him. "Mr. Scarbrow, right?"

"Actually, you can call me Peter."

"Peter? I trust you so much that I can call you by your first name?"

"All the students do actually," Peter replied.

"Oh. Okay well, I guess I'll see you in the morning, Peter," Shelby said and turned to Daisy. "I don't know your name either."

"Daisy," She replied.

"And what's you're name, cowboy?" Shelby asked Scott.

"What?" Scott asked, shocked at the nickname Shelby had just used for him. It was what Shelby had always called him before. "What did you just call me?"

"Cowboy," Shelby responded, confused. "Is that a bad thing?"

"No," Scott said quickly. "It's just...that's what you use to always call me."

"Oh," Shelby said softly.

"Well, my name's Scott. You can call me that."

"Right."

Shelby smiled weakly as she saw Scott turn away from her. Everyone left the room and walked down the hall. They parted their ways once they exited the hospital and went to their own vehicles. They came to an understanding that Alice and Jess would go back home after seeing Shelby again tomorrow and that should anything change, Peter alert Alice immediately.

On the ride home, Peter gave strict instructions that Scott and Daisy were not to tell the other students about Shelby's amnesia. He thought that it better if he told them all together. He would tell Sophie that night and in the morning, before he went to pick up Shelby, he would tell all of the other Cliffhangers.

Peter and Sophie were in Peter's office. Peter was sitting behind his desk with his hands folded if front of him on the desk. Sophie was leaving against the side of a book case in total shock. Peter had just told Sophie that Shelby woke up with no memory and that Alice agreed to let Shelby stay at Horizon with them.

"Amnesia?" Sophie questioned, still shocked.

"Yeah. But the doctor says it's a strange case. She remembers normal things but she doesn't remember who she or anyone else is. I mean, she could even name almost the whole Table of Elements." Peter replied.

"Well, she's always been great in Chemistry. Science was always her strong point." Sophie complied.

"I know."

"Okay, now is Shelby really allowed to stay here?"

"Yes. As long as we have her Mother's permission which we do."

"Yeah," Sophie said. "That's something I'm really surprised about. Then again, maybe just didn't want to deal with her."

"I don't think so, Soph." Peter protested. "I mean, you should've seen her face." Peter sighed. "She wants Shelby here because she knows that's what Shelby would want."

"If you say so," Sophie replied. "What are you gonna tell the kids?"

"The truth. I already told Scott and Daisy not to tell them anything. I'm going to tell them in the morning before I got and get Shelby from the hospital."

"How are they dealing with it?" Sophie asked.

"Scott seems pretty hurt by it, I don't think he's gonna take it well. And Daisy seems to be handling it fine so far. But, then again, she didn't really say much tonight." Peter responded.

"So in the morning we have to tell a bunch of students that someone who is like family to them won't know who they are," Sophie summed up. "Sometimes I hate this job."

"So do I," Peter agreed. "But, for right now, our only job is to get some sleep. It's been a long day for everyone."

"I agree."

The couple walked out of Peter's office. They did their rounds and made sure everyone was in bed like they were suppose to be and went home to go to sleep themselves.

Scott turned over in his bed and a sigh left his mouth. He looked up at a random spot on the ceiling and remembered how Shelby was at the hospital. When she first woke up, she focused on him and had no idea who he was. It hurt him. It's not that he was trying to take it personally or that he thought it was just him but the fact that the women he loved had absolutely no idea who he was, hurt him.

When Shelby called him 'cowboy' he was surprised, no doubt. He just thought it was so errie that the nickname Shelby gave him a year ago is what he would be called. Only Shelby ever called him 'cowboy'.

Scott turned over again and tried to fall asleep but it was impossible for him. He knew that the relaxing, wonderful thing known as sleep would cease to visit him the entire night.

Daisy sat up in her bed and pulled her knees protectively to her chest. She had so many questions going through her mind and they were making her crazy. She wasn't use to being the one with all the questions as a apposed to the one who had all the answers like she usually was; she wasn't use to feeling so utterly and helplessly lost.

She was worried about Shelby. True, she was awake and physically healthy but she had no clue who anyone was, including herself. Daisy wasn't sure if she would ever get her memory back or if it was even possible.

What if her memory never returns? Daisy questioned herself.

Daisy shook her head slightly and tried to rid her mind of everything. She lie back down in her bed to go to sleep but she was left gazing up at the ceiling. Sleep wouldn't come. It wasn't that Daisy wasn't tired for she was, it was simply that she had too much on her mind and couldn't stop thinking about Shelby.

All of the Cliffhangers, Peter and Sophie were in the lodge. The Cliffhangers were spread out sitting in the many different chairs and couches in the lodge. Sophie was sitting on the arms of one of the chairs but Peter was standing in front of the all the students. He kept on taking small steps back and forth, trying to figure out a good way to tell the students about Shelby, but her realized that there was no good way.

Peter took a deep breath and said, "There's no easy way to say this so I'm going to just it. Shelby's awake." He saw everyone, besides Scott, Daisy and Sophie smile, but tried his best to ignore it. "Before anyone gets too happy, let me explain everything. Shelby's awake but she woke up with a severe case of amnesia."

"Amnesia?" Juliet questioned exasperated.

"Yeah. Memory loss, you half-wit" David retorted hotly.

"Lay off her man!" Auggie defended.

"Oh, I forgot. You always come to her defense."

"I'm warning you man."

"Will you two just shut up!" Scott stood up and screamed. "My God, how can you guys be so stupid right now? Shelby doesn't know who we are or even who she is and you two are arguing!"

Scott shook his head, stormed out of the lodge and ran down to the docks. He walked over to the bench him and Shelby use to always meet at during the night and kicked it. He glared back towards the lodge and was so angry at how immature Auggie and David were being.

Sophie stood up to go follow Scott but Peter grabbed her arm and shook his head. With that one look he said that she shouldn't go. Scott needed to be on his own right now and Peter knew it. As long as he didn't become a threat to himself or others, he would receive the space he wants.

Peter turned back to the group and continued, "Now, Shelby's going to be coming back to Horizon today and I want you all to be understandable. But, don't baby her. She's still Shelby, attitude and all."

"Wait. She's coming back here? Is she aloud to? I mean, shouldn't she be going back home with her Mom?" Ezra asked.

"Her Mom knew, as I do, that Shelby would want to be here. Even Shelby said so herself, this her home." Peter replied.

"Take it from her best friend, Ezra, if Shelby was in her right state of mind, she would want to be here." Daisy said for Ezra still looked confused even after Peter had explained.

"Okay," Juliet spoke up. "When's she going to get here?"

"When I go get her," Peter replied and looked down at his watch. "Which is whenever I want to now."

"Well, when are you going to go get her?" Auggie asked.

"Now," Peter replied. "Sophie, can you stay here with everyone?"

"Yeah," Sophie replied.

"Why can't we come with?" Juliet asked.

"I don't think that would be such a good idea, Jules. We have to go slow with this." Peter said. "I'll be back with her in a little while."

Peter sighed. He walked out of the lodge and started to walk to the truck but stopped when his eyes caught sight of Scott. Scott was sitting down by the docks, on one of the benches and was just completely lost in thought. Peter shook his head and got into the truck. He started the car and started to drive to the hospital.

Well, Peter thought, this is going to be interesting.
