Previously in Juvia's Amnesia:
Juvia wakes up 3 days after the accident, only to find out that she has amnesia and doesn't remember anything. Now she has to undergo therapy for a week before seeing her friends again. Gray and Fairy Tail prepare themselves for the week, wondering how to go about getting Juvia's memories back. Meanwhile Juvia starts her week of therapy...
...
Chapter 3: Recollections of Juvia
Juvia P.O.V.
Juvia sat in her hospital bed looking out the window. From where she sat, she had a clear view of a large building that had the words FAIRY TAIL at the top. Juvia suddenly got a small pain in her head, feeling that the words seemed familiar, but she didn't know from where.
She heard the doctor talking with some people outside of her room. At first, she was confused as to why they were here, she didn't recognize their voices. She looked out of the window again and noticed two lovebirds perched atop of a branch right outside of the window. A wave of tranquility washed over her body while listening to the birds sing. She smiled. They were singing such a beautiful song...
All of a sudden the handsome, black-haired boy from before bursted into the room with tears in his eyes. The feeling of tranquility gone and the fear had returned back, showing on her face as well.
"Juvia!" The boy said. "It's me, Gray! You have to remember!" he exclaimed to the frightened girl. "Your a member of Fairy Tail and we're your friends!"
"N-no I-I don't," Juvia stuttered. The boy calling himself Gray walked up to her and grabbed her shoulders.
"You have to try and remember Juvia, please remember your friends, remember me Juvia!" he pleaded, tears streaming down his face.
"I don't have any friends..." she said quietly. He let go of her shoulders and stared at her in disbelief.
"Stop it Gray, she doesn't remember any of us. She doesn't even remember her own name." A beautiful woman with red hair and armor said, while walking into the room. She was wiping away tears.
"Is there anyway to treat this?" A short, old man asked the doctor.
"I don't know if her amnesia is permanent. We'll have to keep her here and have her undergo therapy, to try and-"
The black haired boy cut the doctor off, startling her. "Hell no! Juvia's not staying in this hospital! If you want to try and bring back the memories that were lost, then she should be around the guild, her friends!" he interrupted. Now Juvia looked at Gray with disbelief.
"Gray! He's a professional and he can help her. There's nothing that we could do," The old man said.
"How about this then," The doctor stated. "We can leave her here for about a week for therapy and get her prepared, so she can see her friends again. We won't know how she'll react if we take her to see people she's forgotten. She'll probably panic and that certainly won't help her condition." He explained.
The handsome, black haired boy looked at Juvia. Why is he staring at me? Who is he? Who are these people? She thought, slowly inching away from him with her eyes on the floor.
"He's right, I guess..." she heard him say to himself in a low voice. "Look how she acts with just me, Erza, and Gramps around, she's terrified."
"What?" she whispered, too low for him to hear.
The boy looked at the others. "Fine." he said.
The boy looked at her again. She was now on the farthest edge of the bed. The outbursts and stares from him were making her very uncomfortable.
"Juvia, don't worry. I won't let you forget your friends. I swear I won't." After saying that, he left the room with the red haired woman and the old man, the door closing behind them.
She stared at the closed door, where the three strangers had just left out of. The dark haired boy's words still lingering in the air.
"Juvia, don't worry. I won't let you forget your friends. I swear I won't."
"Who were those people?" she asked the doctor, finally speaking.
The doctor looked at her. "Those people are your friends." he answered, his face getting serious. "Did you hear what I was telling the rest of them?"
She stared at him, confused.
"You'll undergo therapy sessions for a week. The hospital will rent a apartment for you that is not too far from here. Alright?"
"I-I guess..." she replied.
"Good." He left the room to make preparations.
Juvia looked out the window again, at the building with FAIRY TAIL on it. "What is that place?" She asked herself.
Later that night, Juvia had the strangest dreams...
...
-The Next Day-
Juvia opened her eyes. She had gone to bed early last night, but she could barely sleep. She kept waking up during the night because of the strange dreams she kept having. There were multiple dreams which seemed weird to her. Some of them turned into nightmares which caused her to wake up in a cold sweat. Juvia was afraid to go back to sleep, but despite her fear, she ended up falling asleep eventually.
She got out of bed and walked into the bathroom of the apartment the hospital rented for her. The move wasn't permanent of course, it was only until her therapy sessions were done for the week. She asked about her actual home and was told that it's a apartment with her female friends from the guild. Juvia, of course, didn't understand or remember, so the hospital was kind enough to rent her a place close by. They wanted it to be easy to go to and from her temporary place and her therapy sessions. Also, if anything went wrong, the hospital was close by.
She quickly took a shower and got dressed. Juvia could hear the sound of rain outside while she got dressed. "I hate the rain." She mumbled. She wondered if the apartment had a spare umbrella she could use and looked around and found a black umbrella in the closet. She remembered that she had her own umbrella, but she was sure that it was at her actual apartment. Juvia left the apartment and headed to the therapist's office across the street.
...
Juvia stood in the doorway of a small, comfy room with burgundy colored walls, wooden floor boards, a brown chaise lounge sofa, and a brown armchair. In the armchair sat a woman with long black hair; which was up in a bun, gentle features, and a welcoming smile. She remembered talking to this woman the other day, in her hospital room.
"Hello, it's good to see you again," the woman said kindly. "How have you been since we last spoke?"
"Uh good, I guess..." she said quietly.
"Why don't you take a seat." The woman said, while gesturing to the chaise across from her.
Juvia sat down and placed her umbrella beside the chair. She looked at the woman nervously.
"Just in case you've forgotten, my name is Tsubaki Masumoto, but you can just call me Tsubaki, okay?" She said with a warm smile.
"Okay." Juvia said, smiling back. She felt oddly comfortable with this woman and she didn't know why.
"Now then. Do you remember your name?" Tsubaki asked. She held a notebook and a folder in her hands.
"U-um well... Everyone keeps calling me Juvia, but I don't remember if that's my name. B-but if it is my name, then that's what I'll go by."
"Okay then, Juvia. First, is there anything you would like to discuss? Any dreams or- "
"Yes!" Juvia said a bit too loudly. "Oh, I-I'm sorry."
"It's alright. I assume you have a dream you'd like to discuss?"
"Yes, but I had more that one dream last night. It was so weird. Some of them were very short, some were odd, others were peaceful, and a few turned into nightmares."
"But I don't think I can remember them all." She added a second later.
"Oh, I see." Tsubaki mumbled while writing something down in her notebook. "Why don't you tell me about one you do remember then?"
"Um well... In the dream I was standing on top of some kind of machine. It was very spacious and had a flat roof-like structure. It was raining, just like it is today..." Juvia trailed off and looked out the window in the room. "I was facing someone, the guy that was at my hospital room the other day, the one named Gray."
Tsubaki listened quietly, while Juvia talked about her dream.
"I remember that he had said, "I don't care if your a woman or a child. I won't hold back on anyone who hurts my friends." He got into a battle stance too, like he was going to fight me." Juvia looked at Tsubaki with fear in her eyes. "Why was he saying that to me? I've never met him, so why would he say that I'd hurt his friends?"
"These could be fragments of your memories." Tsubaki replied, leaning back in her chair.
"Fragments of my memories?" Juvia whispered.
"Yes." Tsubaki said. She twirled her pen in her hand. "Do you remember anything else. Another dream maybe or dreams?"
She thought of another dream she had last night. "I remember rain. It was raining and I was crying... Why is it always raining around me?" She mumbled. "It was short, just a flash, that's all I saw."
"I see." Tsubaki wrote some more into her notebook. "It seems that these dreams of yours are actually memories Juvia. Your brain is trying to help you remember. Dreams are ways of organizing your memories, from what I hear."
"R-Really?" Juvia asked. She thought about the boy named Gray. She knows him, but as a enemy? That can't be right, she thought. The way he treated me the other day. It was like I was a friend or maybe even more. She blushed after thinking that last part.
"We can talk about the other dreams you had in our next session. Our time will be up soon." Tsubaki said. "Juvia, I'm going to ask you a series of questions and I want you to answer them if you know them, okay? I want to see how much you may have forgotten."
"Okay." Juvia figured that these would be simple questions and easy to answer.
"Now tell me, do you know what day, month, or year were you born?"
"I-I don't know..." Juvia looked scared. Wait a minute! She thought. I should know that!
"Okay okay, don't worry. Let's try another question. Do you remember your age?"
"N-no." Juvia answered. It's my age! Come on Juvia, think!
"Do you remember what street you live on?" Juvia thought as hard as she could but... nothing.
"No..." She couldn't believe it.
"Do you know what town you live in?" Tsubaki sounded so calm. Why? She thought.
"I don't know..." Tears began welling up in her eyes. Why couldn't she remember these easy and basic questions about herself.
"How about the symbol on your thigh. Do you know what it means, where it came from?"
"I don't know!" She cried. "I don't remember anything! It's all just a blank..."
"Let's try a visual approach then." Tsubaki said, while staying calm and collected. "Do you recognize any of the people in this painting?"
She reached into the folder in her hands and took out a painting of a group of people. In the painting it showed Juvia surrounded by many smiling, unfamiliar faces. She recognized the three people that came into her hospital room the other day. The handsome, black-haired boy named Gray; who was also in her dream, the beautiful red-haired woman with armor on, and the short old man. There was also a intimidating looking man with piercings on in the picture, along with a black cat with a small sword on his back, a brown haired woman who had her arm around Juvia's shoulders; she also had a bottle of alcohol in her other hand, a beautiful girl with long white hair, a pink haired boy, a blue cat, a small girl with blue hair holding a white cat, another blue haired girl with a orange ribbon in her hair, and a pretty blonde-haired girl. For some reason Juvia felt a slight bit of anger when looking at the blonde-haired girl, she wondered why.
She pointed at the boy named Gray. "He was the one from my dream." She pointed at the red headed woman and the short old man. "He, along with these two came to my hospital room the other day. They all acted like they knew me, but I don't know them."
"Well these people are your friends Juvia."
"The doctor had told me that too, but I don't have any friends." She replied looking confused.
"Okay then Juvia. Tell me, do you recognize this building?" Tsubaki took out another painting, but this time it was of a building. Juvia gasped when she recognized it. She remembered seeing it when she was at the hospital. It was a painting of the building with the words: FAIRY TAIL at the top.
"I saw it from my hospital room the other day, but it doesn't ring a bell."
"I see." Tsubaki wrote something down in her notebook. Juvia stared at her.
Tsubaki looked at the clock. "Well, it seems like our time is up for today Juvia. For the next 6 days come back here everyday at 10:00 a.m. okay?" She smiled.
"Okay. See you tomorrow." Juvia got up from the chair and walked out of the room.
Juvia waved goodbye to the secretary at the front desk and walked into the rain. She felt the cool rain hit her head and sadness washed over her body. The rain feels different, like magic. She thought. It's like the sky is crying...
She looked up at the gray skies, raindrops gently streaming down her face. The rain gave her the appearance as if she was crying. She then realized that she left her umbrella in the office. "Well, I'm already wet." She looked up at the sky again, it reminded her of him. The sky is Gray, just like his name.
"Drip.. drip... drop..." She mumbled while walking back to her temporary apartment.
Tsubaki watched as Juvia left the room. "In a week's time, Juvia will be able to move back to where she really lives. I hope that she'll have a better grasp of what is going on."
She got up from her chair and walked to her file cabinet. She put the folder in a drawer. "Hopefully, Juvia will know that she's lost her memories, that she is a member of a guild, and has friends who are very dear to her." She sighed.
Tsubaki then walked over to the window, she watched Juvia look up into the sky and then walk away from the building. She thought aloud, "Her friends will be a very important factor for getting her memories back. When she sees them again, she won't be scared, she'll be determined to recover her lost memories and Juvia will know that Fairy Tail is her family."
