CHAPTER FIVE:

In a previous chapter… "Is that DARTH LIZARD?!" "Looks like she has a baby with her!" "That's it, on the count of three we jump her," "One, two THREE!"

Just as we stood up the subway came to a halt and a dozen other people also stood.

"Lizzie!" I yelled, "Wait! Stop!"

She stood too and turn to look at us. Her eyes widened and she dropped her bag in a move to get a better grip on the baby. A baby wrapped in a pink blanket.

We pushed our was through the crowd, trying to get to her but she managed to slip out the doors.

"Taylor!" Brandi cried, "Help me go after her! Daisy and Meg, grab her bag and follow us!"

Brandi and Taylor disappeared into the throng of people and I could feel them communicating telepathically as they followed her. Daisy grabbed the bag and we sprinted up the stairs into the light of the street above.

"Where'd she go?!" I cried.

"We lost her," Taylor huffed, "We ran up here and she was gone! Gone!"

"She couldn't have gotten far! She has a baby with her, Summer's baby!" I said.

"She's gone," Brandi agreed, "We could feel her in the force, then- nothing. She's gone."

"She could be cloaking herself!" Daisy said.

"We can't just go around playing hot-and-cold with our minds!"

"But it's Summer and Carl's baby girl! We can't just let the Violet Dagger take her!"

"It's getting late,"

"We can't give up!"

"We're not! We just need to…"

"Regroup."

"Yeah."

Greetings my fine observers of the word! I am called Prince Tony of Wonderland, the, how-do-you-say?, boyfriend of Lady Brandi! And I am supposed to record what is happening at the diner while the ladies are out purchasing new clothes.

Well, for the start of the beginning, all the men slept in so when we awoke, in the late noon-time hour, the ladies were already done with their apprenticeships in the diner and were heading out to find new garb.

Now it is several hours past the noon-hour and us men are "hanging out" at the Diner of Electricity. This one lady, a Miss Lisa Heffenbacher her name is, is trying to assist Miss Summer in lifting the dark cloud that is Miss Summer's amnesia.

Miss Lisa: Now Meg had you write down everything you remember, right?
Miss Summer: Yeah, but that's not very much. I don't remember anything! I don't remember anything that's happened to us or my home or my family! I don't even know anything about my family! Caaaaarrrrlll!
Mr. Carl: What? What? Are you okay? What's wrong?
Miss Summer: I just realized! I don't remember my family! What's my family like?
Miss Lisa: You have to try to remember yourself, Summer. C'mon, you can do it!
Miss Summer: I remember… I remember.. I don't remember anything! I.. I…

Her hand flies to her stomach then drops back into her lap.

Miss Summer: I need another smoothie.

Miss Summer stands and walks over to the counter where Mr.'s Lane, Peter, and AJ are eating nachos.

Mr. Carl: For a second, it was like she was remembering.
Miss Lisa: You said she was pregnant?
Mr. Carl: Yeah, she was pregnant then they stole our baby and her memories.
Miss Lisa: I read about this in phycology class once, it's like she had a shadow of the memory and it's just beyond her reach…
Mr. Carl: The girls say it's amnesia or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Miss Lisa: Hmmm… I think Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder would be an easier cure.

Miss Summer returns to the table with a smoothie.

Miss Lisa: So do you remember anything at all?
Miss Summer: No, just waking up here! …and images, shadows kinda. And… voices.
Miss Lisa: Voices?!
Miss Summer: Yeah, but it's not like I hear voices! Right? It's like, I have dreams with the weird shadows and voices and then it just sticks with me throughout the day.
Miss Lisa: Interesting! Writes this all in her notebook.

Mr. Lane: Hey Shock, did the girls tell any of you when they'd be coming back?
Mr. Shock: Nope.
Mr. Peter: Oh hey, I'm getting a text from Taylor! It says… Will be back in about an hour. We're getting dinner, saw Lizzie on subway don't tell Summer- Oh.

Miss Summer: Don't tell me what?
Mr. Lane: That… the girls… are getting food… and it's a surprise!
Miss Summer: Oh! Okay! Well, I'll act surprised!
Mr. AJ: Oh good!
Mr. Peter: I'll text her back and tell her not to worry!

Miss Summer: Lisa, how do you cure amnesia?
Miss Lisa: Um. Well. You can't really cure amnesia. Sometimes it corrects itself, sometimes it doesn't.

Miss Summer gasps.

Miss Lisa: But what you're doing might help though!
Mr. Carl: Isn't there anything we can do?!
Miss Lisa: Well… I suppose you could try regressive hypnosis, but that's not really proven…
Mr. Carl: We should try that!
Mr. Hector: The hypnotists around here aren't that... trust worthy… at all.
Miss Summer: By not trust worthy, you mean…?
Mr. Keith: They hate us.
Miss Jessica: And try to mess with us.
Mr. Marcus: And they are evil!
Miss Summer: EVIL?!

Miss Summer gasps and a hand flies to her mouth.

Miss Lisa: Well, not evil. Just very very very… not nice.
Miss Summer: Not nice?
Miss Lisa: Yes!
Miss Summer: Oh that's awful! Why aren't they nice?
Miss Lisa: I'm not sure.
Miss Summer: Maybe, we should bake them some doughnuts or something and then they'd be nice!
Mr. Hector: I think it'd take a lot more then doughnuts to get Annie Scrambler to be nice!
Miss Summer: You never know until you try.
Mr. Hector: Um sure.
