RECAP:
You gasped and Tai's hold on you grew tighter.
"Tailer! What happened!?" Tai asked.
"I remember... Hospital... You and me..." you managed to say between gasps. Tai's eyes widened, and he helped you sit up.
"You remember when I was in the hospital?" he asked. You nodded. You took a few deep breaths, and you looked at Tai's face.
"I remember waking you up. And-and everything." you said.
"Maybe you will regain your memories soon." he said.
"I hope so." you said. You stood up, and Tai followed suit.
"Come on. We'd better tell Izzy." Tai said. You nodded and Tai led the way into his room. When you walked into the room, it fell silent.
"I remembered something." you said. Izzy jumped up from his seat.
"What do you remember, Tailer?" he asked.
"I remember when Tai went to the hospital. And when I was waking him up." you said.
"I have a feeling that she'll start remembering things soon enough." Izzy said.
"How soon?" Brock asked, now filled about the Digital World and junk.
"Hopefully soon. Maybe a week or so. Considering that she just lost her memory and she's starting to remember things, I don't think it'll be long." Izzy said.
"Yes!" Brenna and Shari said in unison. You smiled slightly.
"But still, that's about the only thing I remember on my own... Everything else is just a blur. Almost like its a story that I'm trying to view in my head." you said.
"Well, hopefully your memories'll come back soon." Matt said. You nodded.
"I think we should go back to our apartment." Brenna said.
"Alright. It'll prolly be best if Tailer gets rest." Izzy said.
"Yeah, most likely." Matt said. Brenna and Shari both got up from their seats, and they grabbed your arms.
"Later guys." they said in unison as they pulled you out of the apartment. You walked into the apartment next door.
"This is our apartment." Brenna said.
"Alrighty... Where's my room?" you asked.
For the next hour they showed you around your own apartment, you feeling like a complete idiot for the entire time. Then they showed you around town for the rest of the day. Then you all fell asleep, hoping that you;d regain your memories overnight.
QUIZ START
It's been about a week since you lost your memories, and you are starting to wonder whether or not you'll get them back.
You woke up, and you looked at the top part of your bed, just thinking. You got out of bed, and you walked to your dresser, deciding to take a shower. You grabbed your underclothes, and a black T-shirt, and a pair of blue jeans. You walked into the bathroom, stripped, and stepped into the steaming shower.
You stepped out of the shower about twenty minutes later. You wrapped up in a towel, and walked out into the hallway, allowing it to be filled with steam. You walked into the kitchen and you looked for some food.
"Nothing to eat here..." you muttered. You walked back into the bathroom and changed into your clothes. You threw your hair in a ponytail, and you walked back into your room. You put your dirty clothes and towel in the dirty clothes basket, then you walked out onto the balcony.
You leaned over the edge, and you looked at the city below. People were just starting to get up and go to work. You sighed.
Suddenly, you felt a weird tingling sensation and your eyes slowly closed.
Brenna woke up and she stared at the ceiling for the longest time. Hoping and wishing and praying that today would be the day that Tailer regains her memories. She climbed out of bed, amazed that she was awake before Shari. She noticed that Tailer wasn't in her bed sleeping.
'She's probably in the shower.' she thought.
She walked into the hallway, and noticed that the bathroom was open.
"Must be in the living room then." she muttered. She walked into the living room, and saw it empty, as well as the kitchen.
"Where the hell is she?" she said. She walked out the apartment and next door to Tai's, thinking that Tailer might have gone to see him. She knocked on the door and waited for him to answer.
"Brenna? What the hell do you want? It's seven in the morning." Tai said as he answered the door in nothing but dark blue pajama pants and socks.
"Just seeing if Tailer's here. Because she's not in our apartment." she said. Tai stared at her.
"Tailer's not in there?" he asked. Brenna nodded.
"Yeah. Where is she?" she asked.
"She's not here. And if she's not here and not there, then where is she?" he asked. It clicked in Brenna's mind.
"Tailer's missing!" she said. Tai stared at her in disbelief.
"We've got to go and find her!" he said. He closed the door behind him as he ran into Tailer's apartment. Brenna followed him. He searched frantically through the apartment while Brenna sat on her bed.
Then it hit him.
"The balcony!" he whispered. He ran through Tailer's room, and pulled open the slider. He found Tailer laying over the side of the railing, unconscious. He ran up to her and picked her up. He took her inside and layed her on the living room couch.
"Brenna, call Izzy!" he said. Brenna jumped up from her spot on the bed and grabbed her phone.
"Izzy." he answered.
"Iz, it's Brenna! Tai found Tailer knocked out on her balcony! You need to get over here, now!" she said.
"Let me talk to Tai!" he said. Brenna tossed the phone to Tai.
"Here." she said.
"Izzy?" he said.
"How's her breathing?" Izzy asked. Tai checked.
"It's a little fast, but okay." he said.
"And her pulse?" Izzy asked. Tai put his fingers against her neck for her pulse.
"Weak, but there." he said.
"Is she sweating or anything?" Izzy asked.
"No." he told him.
"Alright. I'm at the stoplight before your apartment complex. I'll be there in a second." Izzy said.
"Okay, bye." Tai said as he closed the phone. He stared at Tailer for about thirty seconds before Izzy ran through the door and shoved him out of the way.
Izzy checked Tailer for a while then he sat back on the floor and sighed.
"She'll be fine. But I have no clue why she's unconscious or when she'll wake up." he said.
"Good." Brenna said.
(Me: Have you ever noticed that you never really see Tai, Matt, Izzy ect with cars? I mean, it always seems like they walk everywhere... It's weird to think that Izzy actually drove... lol)
Shari walked into the living room rubbing her eyes.
"Wuzzgoinon?" she mumbled.
"Tailer's knocked out again." Brenna said. Shari sighed and sat on the floor next to her.
"The last time was what, four days ago?" she asked. Izzy nodded.
There was silence in the apartment. Then a sudden song sounded.
"Is that Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple?" Shari asked.
"It is!" Brenna said.
"That's Tailer's cell phone!" Tai said as he jumped up from the floor and ran into Tailer's room. He picked up her cell phone and looked at the caller ID. He flipped open the phone and pressed the "talk" button.
"Tai Kamiya." he said.
"Tai? Why are you answering Tailer's phone?" Taylor asked. He sighed. Time to tell her the story.
"Last week when we were in the Digital World, Tailer lost her memory. We don't know how, but she's only remembered one thing all week. She's unconscious right now. I found her laying over her balcony, out cold." he said.
"Oh. Well that sucks. I really appreciate you taking care of her for us. I know how hard it must be." Taylor said.
"Yeah... It's weird. We've been trying to trigger her memory, but nothing's worked so far. And it sure as hell was an awkward week at school." he said.
"Oh, well guess what. I know a way that might help trigger her memory." Taylor said.
"Really? What?" Tai asked as he walked into the living room with the others.
"In about an hour you can come and get me from the airport, and I'll stay the next few weeks with her." she said.
"You're here!?" Tai said.
"Yep! We got out on vacation last week, and I decided to come for a suprise visit. So, come and get me?" she asked.
"Uh, sure." he said.
"Good. Um, how am I going to recongnize you?" she asked.
"Just look for a kid with big brown hair." he mumbled.
"Oh yeah! Tailer mentioned something about your huge hair." she said. Tai scowled.
"Yeah, see you then. Bye." he said.
"Caio." she said. Tai closed the phone, and set it down on the counter in the kitchen.
"Tailer's friend Taylor is here..." Tai said.
"She's here? Why?" Brenna asked.
"Suprise vacation." he said.
"Well, she might help Tailer get her memories back." Izzy said.
"Exactly what I thought. But, I have to go and get her in a hour. So, I need to go and shower." Tai said, just now realizing that he was still in just his boxer pants.
"Yeah, I'd say so." Brenna said, smirking. Tai glared at her slighly as he walked out the door to his apartment.
Kari was walking out of the kitchen as he walked in.
"Where were you?" she asked.
"Tailer was missing. We found her knocked out cold. Izzy's taking care of her. I got a call from her friend Taylor. And she's here in Japan. I have to get her in an hour. So, I need a shower." Tai said.
"Wow, that's a lot to handle before nine o'clock." Kari said as Tai walked into the bathroom.
Taylor sat on he airplane at the Tokyo stop before she got to her stop. She sighed as the thought of Tailer. She flipped open her phone and called Ashleigh.
"Hello?" Ash asked kind of sleepy.
"Oh, sorry, Red! I forgot about the time differences!" Taylor said.
"No big, Tay. What's up?" she asked starting to wake up.
"I called Tai for a ride and I found something out. Tailer's got amnesia. Something happened in the Digital World." she said.
"No way." Ash said.
"Yeah, so I need you to tell the others tomorrow so I don't call them all in the middle of the night." Taylor said.
"Yeah, okay. So are you there yet?" she asked.
"I have one more stop." Taylor replied.
"Okay," she yawned.
"I'm gonna let you go. Night, Red," Taylor said.
"Night," Red muttered before she hung up.
Taylor hung up the phone and put in her iPod headphones. She blared Simple Plan until the flight attendants started talking. Then she put them back in her ears when she got in the air.
'Half an hour left.' she thought as she looked out the window.
Taylor walked out of the Terminal and looked around.
"Big, bushy brown hair..." she muttered as she searched the croud waiting for their friends and family. She saw a kid about seventeen with big brown hair standing of to the side, slightly looking at people. She walked up to him as she put her carry-on bag on her shoulder.
"Are you Taylor?" he asked.
"Yep. Nice to meet you." she said holding her hand out. Tai awkwardly shook her hand. After all this was the girl that tortured him over web-cam. But apparentally she forgot about that.
"I need to go get my luggage before we head off." she said.
"Okay." Tai said as he followed her.
Taylor was looking around the airport at all the different people. Mostly everyone had dark skin, and dark hair. While a majority of people in the States are a bleach blonde.
She followed the signs that took her to baggiage claim.
"Which one's yours?" Tai asked as the suitcases started coming out.
"It's a grey and black one. Kinda small, and it's a rolling one." she said.
"Okay. Is that it?" he asked, pointing to one.
"Yeah. Wow you've got good eyes." she said.
"Well, I did pick Tailer." he said. Taylor looked at him.
"Wow, your ego is about as big as someone back home's." she said as she grabbed her bag.
"Who's?" Tai asked.
"This girl that's my friend. Tailer doesn't like her too much. Only because they're a lot alike. Well, minus that Tailer's got a motorcycle problem, and Missy has a Harry Potter problem." she said. (Me: Yes, I'm making myself Taylor's friend... Why? I don't know... I just like typing my name. lol And Taylor reminds me everyday that I'm too cocky and full of myself... lol ok... you can read now...)
"Oh. Okay then," Tai said. "Do you have everything?"
"Yep," Taylor said.
"Alright. Let's go," Tai said as he started for his little car. (Me: It's still weird... I can't see Tai driving a car...)
Tai put Taylor's things in the backseat, and he got in the driver's side.
"How long's the ride gonna be?" Taylor asked.
"About half an hour depending on traffic." he said.
"Okay. Hey, have you heard Tailer's CD?" she asked.
"No I haven't. And I thought it was yours too." he said.
"Well, yeah, I guess. It's mostly her. No one pays attention to the backround people." she said.
"Yeah, I guess so. That's how it is with Matt's band..." he said.
"Okay, well, we're going to listen to it. Since you've never heard us." she said as she pulled out the Little Soldiers' CD. She put it in his cd player and put it on the first song.
"Main guitar and vocals are Tailer." she said. Tai nodded.
The song started with a few guitar strings, and Tailer singing.
"I look up at the ceilin', thinking 'bout life. Jus' wonderin' why mine sucks. Like I'm trapped in a cage, and I can't get out. Just waitin' to be free!" Then the bass and drums came in as the chorus started.
"What do you play?" he asked.
"Me? Oh, I'm drums. Sabrina's got bass gutar, and Jolene's got backup vocals and keyboard." she said.
"Cool. So, are you guys professional yet?" he asked.
"Professional? You make it sound like we're a sports team." she said laughing.
"You know what I mean. Like famous." he said.
"Well, we kind of are. We've sold our record and they've been sold out in the west, where we're from. They've been bought alot in New York. Well, then again, our record company had us make a music video for Free when Tailer was here, and they played it in Time Square!" she said, smiling.
"Wow. Tailer never really told us about that. She's embarassed by it." he said.
"Well, that's just her. She doesn't like attention much. Our band started as a school assignment. It was we all had to write a five-hundred page autobiography, or write a song and play it to the class. And we did this. While we were practicing outside one day, our record agent walked by and told us we were terrific." she said.
"So, have you guys had to do interviews and such?" he asked.
"Yeah, they all really want to talk to Tailer though. But they just settle with us." she said. She thought for a few seconds.
"I'm going to tell you something, but you have to promise not to tell Tailer when she regains her memories." she said.
"Okay, what is it?" he asked.
They pulled into the apartment complex and Taylor got out of the car. She grabbed her things, and walked up to Tai who was waiting for her.
"Lead the way. I don't know where to go." she said.
Tai led the way up the stairs and to the apartments. When he stopped at his, he opened the door and yelled inside.
"Kari! I'm back!" he said.
There was a faint "Okay!" and then he closed the door.
"That's my apartment. And this one's Tailer's." he said as he walked to her door. He opened the door, and walked inside. Brenna and Shari were now showered and dressed and were sitting with Izzy on the floor watching something on TV with full interest.
"Hey guys. What are you watching?" Tai asked as he closed the door.
"It's from America. An interview with Tailer's band." he said. Tai watched the TV.
"We have three of the band members of Lil Soldiers here with us tonight. Taylor, Jolene, Sabrina, welcome." said the interviewer.
"Hey." the three girls said.
"Any whereabouts of Tailer? Can you tell us?" he asked. The three girls exchanged glances.
"We've recently discussed matter, and we can tell you that her family has moved to Japan." Taylor said.
"Japan? Well that's certainly far away." he said.
"Yeah it is! It's like five dollars a phone call to her!" Jolene said.
"Well, you all certainly have the money now though." he said.
"Yeah, but our parents don't let us use it." Sabrina said.
"We get a hundred dollars a month for spending. That's all." Jolene said.
"We've also heard that you three girls are working with Radio Disney now." he said.
"Yes we are. We're going to be remaking songs from Disney's Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure." Taylor said.
"Are you going to get Tailer back here to sing with you guys?" he asked.
"We want her to come back so we can go on tour, but she's got a new life there. I'm going to try and convince her to come back for a summer though." said Taylor.
"Do you think she will?" he asked. The girls exchanged glances.
"There's a fifty-fifty chance. She's got an awesome boyfriend and friends now. But, I'm hoping she'll come. It'll only be for a summer though." Taylor said.
"Alright. Well, that's all the time we have with you. When we come back from commercial, Seven Things in Your Toilet Bowl That Can Kill You." he said. Then it went to commercial break.
"Well, thank you for that comment Taylor, I feel flattered." Tai said as he turned to her.
"Anytime, Tai." she said.
"Guys, this is Taylor." Tai said.
"Hey I'm Brenna, I'm from the States. Spokane, Washington." she said.
"And I'm Shari. I'm from the Phillippines." she said.
"You're from Spokane, Brenna?" Taylor asked.
"Yep! You're from Post Falls then, right?"
"Yep." Taylor said.
Izzy stood up from his spot on the floor and walked up to Taylor and held out his hand.
"I'm Izzy. Tailer's penpal." he said. Taylor shook his hand.
"I'm Taylor." she said smiling slightly. They dropped hands as Tai started talking.
"Any news of Tailer, Izzy?" Tai asked from his spot on the floor next to Tailer. Taylor and Izzy walked up to them.
"No. She's been out cold since you left." Izzy said.
"Damnit..." Tai muttered as he grabbed her hand.
Taylor felt like an outsider as she stood in the living room, watching Tai and Izzy taking care of Tailer.
'She's so loved here. Izzy loves her like he'd love a little sister. But Tailer's older than him. And Tai would prolly die if he was a summer without her. I can't take her away from them.' she thought.
"Here Taylor, grab your things and follow me." Shari said as she stood up. Taylor grabbed her bags and followed Shari through the small apartment.
"This is mine, Brenna's and Tailer's room. You're prolly going to sleep here with us... On the foor maybe." she said.
"All three of you live here?" she asked.
"Yeah, Brenna and I are exchange students, and we have to stay here." she said.
"Wow that must suck." she said.
"Not really." she said. Brenna appeared at the doorway.
"Actually, it does. Because Tailer's a real bitch when she's PMSing." Brenna said.
"So are you, Ren." Shari said. Brenna stuck her tongue out at her. Taylor laughed at her immaturity.
"You are just like Tailer." Taylor said.
"How am I like Tailer? She's never childish." Brenna asked.
"Really? She was always childish back home... There was never a chance when she wasn't." she said.
"She's never like that. Maybe when she's with Tai. But none of us are ever around." Shari said.
"She's a completely different person now." Taylor said.
"I guess so. But since she lost her memory, she's been freakin awesome." Brenna said.
"That's true..." Shari said.
Taylor set her cell phone on Tailer's desk adn she noticed a small black thing there. Shari and Brenna quickly exchanged glances.
"Have you tried taking her back to the Digital World?" Taylor asked as she picked up the small Digivice.
"Good idea." Brenna and Shari said in unison as they all walked into the living room.
"Tell Izzy." Brenna whispered to Taylor.
"Hey guys?" she said. The two boys looked up at her.
"Yeah, Taylor?" Izzy asked.
"You should talk her to the Digital World when she wakes up. And see if she remembers anything." Taylor said.
"That's a great idea! I can't believe I didn't think of that!" Izzy said. Taylor smiled.
"Glad to help." she said.
"Izzy, what day is it?" Tai asked slowly.
"Saturday. Why?" Izzy asked.
"Tailer's mom is suppose to be home tonight!" Tai said. It went silent in the room.
"Shit!" Brenna and Shari whispered in unison.
"Please wake up and remember everything, TaiTai." Izzy prayed.
The door opened and everyone looked at the door.
"Hey guys, any news on Tailer?" Kari asked as she, Matt and Tk walked in.
"No. But we have ways of making her talk! I mean, remember." Brenna said. They all chuckled a little.
"How?" Matt asked as he walked to Brenna and wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned back into his chest.
Tai looked at them in envy. He didn't touch Tailer at all this whole week. Minus when she was unconscious and he held her hand.
"Her friend Taylor flew in this morning, and we're going to take her to the Digital World when she wakes up." Izzy said.
"You're Taylor? I'm Matt." he said. Taylor nodded to him.
"I'm Kari. Tai's little sister." she said.
"And I'm Tk. Matt's little brother." he said.
"Hey." she said.
"When do you think she's going to wake up?" Matt asked.
"Hopefully before her mom and Rich get home from their cruise." Izzy said.
"How about we watch a movie for a while?" Brenna said.
"Sure, why not?" Tk said.
"Which movie should we watch?" Kari asked.
"How about Lady and the Tramp 2 for Taylor?" Izzy said. Taylor caught his eye, and he looked away embarassed.
"Okay! I haven't seen that in forever!" Kari said.
Izzy put in the movie, adn they watched it. About half way into it, they heard something.
"Why the bloody hell am I on the couch?" asked a voice. Everyone turned around to see Tailer sitting up on the couch.
"You got knocked out again." Tai said. Tailer looked at everyone.
"Taylor!?" Tailer said as she stood up.
Taylor stood up and Tailer hugged her.
"You remember me?" Taylor asked.
"I do now. I remember everything, and I'm going to kill Ken." Tailer said.
Everyone stood up and hugged her.
**Tailer's POV**
After everyone hugged you, you looked at Tai, who seemed as if he was trying to decide whether or not to hug you. You just stared at him. He walked up to you and hugged you close to his body. You hugged him back.
You stood in his arms forever it seemed. You reluctantly pulled away.
"Aw!" Brenna said laughing.
"Shut up, Ren!" you said.
"What did I miss?" you asked.
"Nothing really. But, Taylor's here to stay for a few weeks." Shari said.
"Cool!" you said.
"How about we finish the movie?" Izzy said.
"Sure." everyone said.
Everyone was leaning against the couch watching it. The order was as follows:
Tai Izzy Taylor Matt Brenna Shari Tk Kari Tailer
You looked down at Tai and wondered why he wasn't sitting near you.
'What if he doesn't like me anymore?' you wondered.
When the movie finished, everyone stood up.
"We'd better leave." Kari said.
"Yeah, we'll let you settle in." Matt said.
Matt gave Brenna a light kiss before he, Kari, and Tk all walked out the door.
"I'm gonna go too." Izzy said. He hugged you and he looked at Taylor.
"It was really nice meeting you, Taylor." he said as he looked into her eyes. You smirked.
"Nice to meet you too, Izzy." she said. Then he walked out the door.
Tai was the only one left. Brenna and Shari exchanged glances and pulled Taylor into the bedroom.
"Hey." he said awkwardly.
"Hey." you said.
"So um, you can remember everything?" he asked.
"Yep. Well, to a point." you said.
"Do you remember when you were under the Dark Ring?" he asked. You looked at your feet.
"Yes... And it's horrible!" you said quietly as tears started falling down your face. Tai tilted your face up adn looked into your eyes.
"Why are you crying?" he asked.
"Becuase I knew exactly what I was doing. I saw how mad you were at me, and how hurt you were! And I couldn't do anything about it!" you said. He cupped your face in his hands.
"I don't blame you, Tailer..." he said softly. The tears on your face slowed to a stop. He wiped them away.
"It's all my fault though... I couldn't conrtol anything. I was used, Tai!" you said. He pulled you into his arms. You inhaled his scent.
"Just settle down and we'll talk about this later, TaiTai. Alright?" he said. You pulled away from him
"Alright." you said.
"Okay. Go and catch up with Taylor. I'll talk to you later." he said as he walked out the door.
You walked into your room to see Taylor waiting for you.
"Suprise!" she said. You smiled.
