Remember Me

Ch 8: Seven Days

Sky's POV

"Sky, we have a problem!" Ashley yells, and I jump to my feet and then sway a little in the wind.

"Oh, right, we're in the sky. Heh, Sky in the sky."

"Sky!" Ashley shouts sharply, and my eyes widen as I spin around to face her.

"What is it? Are you okay?"

"It's Jason and Tyler, their ghast turned on them!"

"Oh, crap," I mumble, peering over the edge of our ghast. Sure enough, Jason and Tyler's ghast is frantically swerving around, trying to rid itself of its riders. From the height they're at, a fall would mean absolute death – and, at the rate this is going, it won't be long until they fall. "Ashley, drive ours down beneath theirs!"

"Will do!" she replies, leaning forward and pushing the ghast's head down. "What's the plan?"

"Just try to keep our ghast steady underneath theirs!"

"Got it!"

"JASON! TYLER!" I screech, cupping my hands around my mouth and leaning over the side of the ghast. "YOU NEED TO- DANG IT, WIND! SHUT UP, I'M TRYING TO COMMUNICATE!" There's no way they can hear me over the wind. Ashley swerves a little, still not managing to get beneath Jason and Tyler, and I lean out over the side of the ghast a little more in an attempt to get closer. "JASO- FRICK!"

Ashley screams as I fall.

"Was that lucky, or what?" I ask Jason as he spins around to look at me with wide eyes. I've managed to land on his ghast.

"What even- Sky, what!?"

"Right. So, Ashley is working on getting our ghast below yours. When she's in position: we jump."

"You're insane!" Tyler yells, trying to steer the ghast. "I'm not doing that!"

"Hello, Not Doing That, I'm Insane," I say patiently, smiling at them both. Jason groans.

"Tyler, it's the best plan we've got right now," Jason says, turning to look at Tyler. We all waver a bit as the ghast lurches to the right, and Tyler grimaces.

"Fine. Is she in position yet?"

"Uh…" I glance over the side of the ghast, careful not to fall off this time. "Yes! She is. Jump?"

Tyler groans. "Jump."

"Woohoo!" I shout as I leap off the ghast, carefully aiming toward Ashley's ghast below. She's not too far below, though, so there isn't exactly all that much time to be aiming- I shriek as I nearly miss the ghast, but Ashley, being the angel that she is, manages to catch my hand before I can properly fall, and she and Tyler pull me up into a safer position.

"Knew that would go badly," Tyler grumbles, and I grin.

"But it worked!"

"Um, but we still need to deal with the wild ghast," Jason comments nervously, and I glance up at the traitorous mob.

"Well, crap," I mutter, because I haven't got a clue what to do about that.

Brice's POV

"That was such a very Sky-like thing to do," Seto chuckles.

I raise an eyebrow at him. "Did we just remember Sky?"

"I believe we did."

"Eep, cool!"

"Our friends are preparing to fall to their deaths."

"O-Oh, right. Um, could you maybe, like, unsummon the ghast?" I ask desperately, peering down at the ghast that is seriously about to burn us all to the ground.

"Yes, of course," Seto replies, closing his eyes. "Vade ad inferos," a scary grin appears on his face as he chants and begins to hover a bit above our ghast. "Te oderunt nos."

"Seto, maybe calm down a small bit?" I squeak, tugging on the sleeve of his cloak as dark purple magic swirls around him and the out-of-control ghast. The ghast suddenly poofs away, and Seto's eyes fly open as he touches his feet down to the top of the ghast again.

"I'm fine," he assures me a little too quickly, smiling slightly. "I've got control."

"Right, and I've got blonde hair."

"Actually, you sort of have. The black's beginning to grow out."

"Oh, cool!"

"Yes. Ah, it seems to me that we are falling. Perhaps I am not in control."

"SETO!" I screech, flailing in the air as I realize the ghast has disappeared from beneath us. All of my friends are screaming, too, squeezing their eyes shut as they plummet to their deaths. "SETO, WHAT THE CRAP?"

"I may have miscalculated a small bit," he explains calmly, crossing his arms as he falls. "My apologies."

"SETO, CUT THE CRAP AND SAVE US! I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR YOUR PRETENTIOUS BULLCRAP RIGHT NOW."

His eyes widen. "Ah, you see, Brice, I would love to. I would really love to."

"Oh, no," I groan.

"Unfortunately, it is very fun to make you uncomfortable," he finishes as a Cheshire grin appears on his face. "Perhaps you've noticed that we've been falling in place for the last few moments?"

"Oh my Jeb, Seto."

"Yeah, we're fine. I still apologize, however, for my mistake with the ghasts."

"And I apologize for not dealing with your pretentious bullcrap."

"I AM SO STRESSED RIGHT NOW," Ty comments from a dozen or so meters away.

"Oh, dear, fear of heights, yes," Seto mutters, gently dropping us all to the ground.

Sky hits the ground running and is at Ty's side in an instant, which is not exactly a huge surprise. Meanwhile, I hug Seto tightly and hope he's not too angry with me for calling him 'pretentious.'

Ty's POV

I'm practically hyperventilating by the time we finally hit the ground (albeit very gently), and Sky is almost instantly sitting on his knees in front of me, telling me to take deep breaths, to calm down because it's okay now, I'm okay now, we're okay now.

"Oh, Notch," I groan, feeling a bit nauseous.

"Shh, it's all right, Ty! Agh, I'm so sorry," Sky says, hugging me to him tightly. "I said I would protect you but I couldn't, and I'm so sorry."

Oh, Notch.

It has been only six days, and that is not okay. I don't care if, like, if it's just old feelings breaking through the memory block or whatever, but if I've really just managed to fall in love that quickly- nothing good ever comes of something like this. You can't fall in love this quickly, it just doesn't work like that! You fall in 'love' quickly, you fall out of love quickly.

I can't do that to Sky.

What if it isn't just a bunch of feelings from before the memory erasure? What if I'm really just being foolish? Sure, there's a chance it could be real, that it could be long and lasting. There's a chance. But there's also a chance that it's just stupidity, and that would end with one or both of us winding up with a broken heart.

Can't hurt Sky like that.

"Well, we've only a day left," Seto says, biting his lip and interrupting my internal monologue. "And I don't quite trust myself to do another successful summon."

Alesa shrugs. "I say we run."

"That might be our only remaining option," Seto sighs.

"We'll make it," I say semi-confidently, pushing aside my thoughts and my nausea and getting to my feet. "Everyone's food bars full?"

They nod hesitantly.

"Then let's sprint!"

"It's getting late," Ashley comments as we all sprint through the city gates. Jason stops and pants for a bit, and Tyler shakes his head and grabs his hand, pulling him forward.

"Yeah, the sun set hours ago," Alesa worries, glancing up at the moon. "We have 'till midnight?"

"We have 'till midnight," Seto confirms. "We can still make this."

"Well, hurry up, then!" Sky calls, darting ahead of us all and into Seto's lab. "Do you need any help?"

"No, sir," Seto replies, running in and immediately popping the two cure potions into a potion brewer. "This will only take about half an hour. Go wait in the old medic room."

"The weird disease-handling room?"

"Yeah, that. I'll meet you up there soon. Keep an eye on the clock, yell at me if it gets to be later than, say, eleven thirty."

"It's eleven thirty-one," Tyler laughs nervously, looking at a clock on the wall.

Seto curses under his breath and casts a spell on the brewing stand. "Okay. I'll get it done, ten minutes, tops. Go sit down in the medic room."

"Okay, okay, yeah," Sky mutters anxiously, and then he and the rest of us, save for Seto, run upstairs.

"Are we even sure the deadline is midnight?" Ashley asks as we take our seats in the disease room. Sky, Jason, Tyler, and Ashley sit on the bed, and Alesa, Brice, and I sit on the floor.

"It could've been earlier," Brice admits helplessly, shrugging his shoulders. "But it definitely won't be later."

"I mean, most of us have remembered our Sky memories, anyways," Jason reminds us, specifically avoiding eye contact with me. It's fine! I don't even want to remember, anyways! I am not in love with Sky. I was never in love with Sky.

"Well, we don't know about the rest of Team Crafted," Tyler points out. "Ssunkipz and Merome haven't even re-met Sky yet."

Sky's phone buzzes, and he raises an eyebrow and takes it out of his pocket. "From: Benja," Sky reads aloud, snorting afterwards. I guess that sort of answers our question, mostly. "So apparently a bunch of the city forgot you, lol xD jayrome wants to know why, cuz now he and Ssunkipz and I cant guilt-trip the hunger deans people into letting us jump automatically into the best lobby xD"

Sky snorts again and then whispers, "Tenouttaten, best friends, would friend again," and I have to try really, really hard not to laugh. Dang.

Sky isn't funny. Really, he's not! I don't love his jokes. I don't.

Sky's phone dings, and he looks down at it again. "lol nvm so like apparently your name is written in budder blocks on the side of the lobby? so yeah theyre remembering pretty easily xD"

"Well, that answers that," Alesa laughs. "But why didn't they forget..?"

Sky shrugs. "Merome are kind of idiots, so maybe that had something to do with it."

"Way to be gentle," I grumble, and Sky laughs and I frown because his laugh is just a little too amazing for me to handle.

"What about Ssunkipz, though?" Jason asks.

"Hmm. Well, I spent about as much time with Annie as I did with Ashley; maybe Annie remembered somehow and then she jogged Quentin's memory, and then Quentin helped Ian."

"Maybe the memory-erasing thing started with the people who were standing closest to Sky when he died and then moved on to the people who were farther away," Brice suggests. "Maybe they never even forgot in the first place."

"But Seto, Brice, Alesa, and Jason were all here at the lab when I died," Sky says, frowning. "And Mitch and Jerome were only a few feet away from me in the asylum. Augh, this is too confusing."

"There are a lot – and I mean a lot of other factors involved. Really, only Notch and the other devs can know what truly happened," Seto informs us as he walks into the room. Most of us stand up to greet him.

"Did you finish already?" I ask, eyes wide.

"I did, and I also- also ran some tests." He glances down at the print-out in his hand, and then over at the greyish-pink potion in his other hand.

"So, what about the tests..?" Jason asks.

"Well," Seto begins hesitantly, his eyes glued to his paper, "ah, I don't- I don't recognize all of these elements. One of them can be fatal, when mixed with a certain different element, but- I, I'm sorry, I can't tell whether that other certain element is actually present here. Also, because this potion will be digging deep into Sky's code, if he dies because of the potion, he might not respawn." He looks up at Sky. "On the other hand, if you don't die, everyone who hasn't remembered you already will certainly remember you. Are you sure you want to try this?"

Sky bites his lip for a moment. "U-Um… Is there any chance that the rest of you guys will remember me on your own?"

Seto smiles sympathetically. "I'm sorry, Sky, but anyone who hasn't already shown signs of beginning to remember – for example, brief flashbacks, or a few words or terms remembered – well, it's highly unlikely that there will be any remembering for them after the week ends. Any unused backup code that made up those memories will be deleted, for real, very, very soon."

"Eleven fifty-eight," Tyler says worriedly.

"Um…" Sky glances up at me, and then back down at his feet. "Yeah. I wanna do it."

Seto's smile turns sad as he pours the potion into a different glass bottle, stirs it quickly with his magic, hands the potion over to Sky, who sits back down on the bed "I'll be on standby in case the potion does have negative effects, but… well, if the damage is dealt instantly, I won't be able to save you."

"But there is a chance that it'll make Ty- er, I mean, everyone else remember me?" Sky asks, looking warily at the potion.

"Yes."

"Sky, come on, don't do it," Jason begs, stepping forward. "You don't need to! Most of us remember you!"

"Yeah, but… Some of you don't," Sky replies, shrugging helplessly.

"So?"

"So, I have to do this, or I'll spend the rest of my life wishing I hadn't been so cowardly today."

"But- But you might not have a 'rest of your life' after this."

"Eleven fifty-nine," Tyler whispers.

"Hashtag worth it," Sky replies, grinning goofily, though his eyes are scared. He widens his smile a bit more, and then he tips the potion bottle up to his mouth-

"I-I'm sorry, Ty."

"W-What? N-No, no, what? You can't die, we- That girl is dead! S-She's gone! You have to be okay now, that's how it works, Sky, we won!"

"... D-Don't forget me, okay?"

"Believe me, I-I won't. … Wait, S-Sky, I- I- Sky?"

"No, no, no," I mumble, closing my eyes.

"I'll miss you…"

"No, stop!" I shout, my eyes flying open. Seto raises an eyebrow, and Sky looks up at me in concern. "Stop, I- I lost him once, I don't want to- don't want to lose him again," I mutter, looking down at my feet.

"Ty?" Sky asks softly, and I look back up at him.

"Look, I- I don't- I don't remember you, and I want to, I really do! But, more than that, I want to… want to keep you. Um, if that makes any sense. I just-" My voice breaks, and my next words sound horribly desperate. "I don't want to lose you."

"Is it…" Sky winces. "Is it okay to say I love you?"

I shrug, smiling nervously.

"Yolo," Sky says, mimicking my shrug. He stands up, hands the potion back to Seto, and hugs me tightly, one hand on my back and the other in my hair as he buries his face in my neck. "I love you, Ty."

Only seven days.

Screw it.

"I- I'd like to know what it feels like to love you back, Sky. I think I'm already getting there," I laugh. "But- But I'll need help. So… could you remind me?"

"It would be my pleasure," Sky whispers, pulling back a bit to look me in the eye. And then something inside me makes me lean towards him again, and then I'm kissing him like I've done it hundreds of times, like it's just natural, like it's in my code for me to love this boy, like this boy was made for me and I was made for him.

"Someone owes Alesa ten diamond blocks," Seto laughs, and that sets off the rest of the Team, and soon we're all laughing with each other and just flat out having a good time, and do you know what?

The room doesn't feel so empty anymore.
