A/N: I do not own Bakugan. Just this story

*linbreak*

Alice tried, she really did.

She tried and tried and tried.

But she couldn't remember anything.

Alice was taken to Wardington, to Runo's family restaurant. Runo said she worked here before.

But she didn't remember anything.

Alice was taken to Marucho's house, which was a giant building. He said sh had come here often to sleepover.

But she doesn't remember ever sleeping here.

Alice was shown footage of "Bakugan", the game she has heard of, adn was supposedly one of the founding figures or something.

Though impressive, she isn't recalling anything. In fact, looking at it, she just seemed...uninterested. Forget the fact they're basically aliens, the whole thing made no sense.

But since the girl didn't want to break their feelings, she hid her complaints.

The others are not losing hope. But she certainly was.

Two weeks has passed, Alice was still in Marucho's guest room and no new (or old memories) had come back. She couldn't even sleep most nights anymore, due to the guilt she feels.

It was hard to get up in the morning. Knowing that she couldn't remember anything, and while her...(she couldn't call them friends)...acquaintances tried so SO hard to help her...

But at this point, Alice thought she will never...

Another knock on the door, these people seem to never let her think.

"Come in" she said. In comes Jullie, with a shopping bag.

"HEYYA! How are y..." Jullie stopped and gasped in absolute horror.

"ALICE! YOU LOOK LIKE A MOP!" Jullie exclaimed, dropping the bag, and rushed to Alice's side.

"Oh..sorry, I was just up..." she replied, and got up from the bed.

"NONESENSE! You look messy! I can't afford my best friend to look bad!" She started pushing her to the bathroom.

"JULLIE! JULLIE! I CAN DO IT MYSELF!" Alice struggled, as the young girl personally washed her, brushed her hair, and made her look presentable.

After dressing up in an (annoying) yellow dress, she and Jullie walked out to the lving room. Usually, she sees the gang sitting on various couches. But today, only the girls were here.

"What happened to the boys?" Alice asked, as the butler pour out a cup of tea.

"Hpmh! Like I'll talk about that jerk!" As usual, Runo was no help, in terms of information. So she asked the same to Jullie, and she actually answered.

Apparently, Dan and Marucho were off doing some crazy things with "Drago", one of the Bakugan they mentioned. To be honest, saying that name makes her tune everything else. (It sounds that ridiculous, how and why did she liked this game?). And Shun...he just went home to his granddad. He was starting to freak her out, due to how close he usually is to her, so this made her just a little glad.

She didn't paid attention to anything they said, only on the book in one hand, and a cup of tea in another. They were just arguing about Dan ditching them, anyway. So a nice book was a pleasent enough distraction.

To not think about how her mind is broken, and how she might not ever get them back...

Nope, don't think about it. She needs hope. The memories will come back, eventually.

...right?
