❦════༻ 🌷 ༺════❦

After getting rehabilitation for a few days, I was able to walk again.

It was mainly my hip that took the hardest hit.

My doctors say I hit the jackpot in luck.

However, surviving came at a cost.

My memories.

They're unsure whether my memories will be back or not.

Only time will tell.

But really, I don't care about all that.

I have a more important mission to accomplish.

Later...

❦════༻ 🌷 ༺════❦

This... phrase is stuck in my head.

Never give up until the very end.

I don't know who said it.

Maybe a famous actor said it?

Or a character from a TV show?

I'll never know.

Anyways, I'm heading towards the university that I attended to think up of a plan.

Stopping a Princess' wedding at a royal palace isn't the easiest thing in the world.

I wonder how I became lovers with a princess.

I must've been one heck of a player.

But I must admit, the university's campus is beautiful.

It's so well-kept.

The lush hedges, the clear paths- Everything is so clean here.

As I stroll across the park, a crystal-blue lake comes into view with waterfalls flowing from across the clean body of water.

"Wow..."

Taking a seat on a bench, I sigh and look around, trying to see if anything jostles my blank memories.

❦════༻ 🌷 ༺════❦

After a while, I decide that it's useless and get up, only to have shouts catch my attention.

As I turn my head, I spot the source.

Beside a tree nearby was a couple arguing.

Out of curiosity, I step closer and take cover behind a tree.

"You're always like this! You changed!" The blue-haired girl screams, the boy with black hair emotionless with his hands in his pockets.

"What do you mean I'm always like this? You're the one who changed," He says in a joking manner.

"You keep hiding things from me!"

He snickers, upsetting her even more.

Wow. This guy is a jerk.

Why would anyone date someone like him?

"Are you laughing? It's not funny! Why are you hiding things from me?" She yells amidst her sobbing.

"It's none of your business, that's why,"

There's something wrong with this guy.

"None of my business? It IS my business! You're my boyfriend!"

He chuckles.

"Not anymore,"

"You idiot! IDIOT!" She yells, pounding her fists on his chest.

He suddenly pushes her down with one hand.

I was wrong. This guy needs a bus to get himself straightened out.

"Don't touch me. We're done. I'm out of here," He says, turning around and walking away.

The girl remains on the ground, sobbing.

Making sure he left, I walk towards the girl.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Does it look like I'm okay?" She says sharply, her hands covering her face.

"Don't get too mad, but that guy has issues. You should be glad he's gone," I say, looking behind us.

"Wait- that voice," She takes her hands off her face and gets a clear look at me.

"Ash?!" She says, suddenly jerking back.

"Me? Do you know me?"

"Yeah! It's me, Miette," She says, her expression suddenly turning to that of guilt.

She covers her face once again.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry for all that garbage I said to you in high school. I was so immature..."

I scratch the back of my head with a sheepish smile.

"Sorry, but I don't really remember anything,"

She raises one eyebrow.

"What? You don't remember anything?"

"Yeah, ever since I woke up in the hospital after being hit by a car,"

She gasps, her hands covering her mouth.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay,"

Being the gentleman I am, I realize only now that she's still on the ground.

Way to go, Ash.

"Here, let me help you up," I say as I hold out my hand.

She blushes and quickly gets up, brushing the dirt off her clothes.

"I-I can get up by myself! Dummy..." She says, her blush only getting redder.

"Er- okay?"

"A-Anyways, what are you going to do now?"

I sigh.

"I don't really know,"

Planning a way to stop the royal wedding is going to be tough, if not impossible.

Her eyes light up.

"Oh, I know! How about we stop by a cafe?"

"Oh, like a date?"

"N-Not like that, you idiot! I just wanted to chat and have some tea!"

I chuckle.

"Okay then, the cafe it is!" I say, turning around and walking ahead.

Oh wait.

Turning back around, I scratch the back of my head yet again with a sheepish smile.

"Ehehe- Where's the café?"

She sighs.

"Idiot..." She says, taking the lead.

❦════༻ 🌷 ༺════❦

At the Café...

❦════༻ 🌷 ༺════❦

"So let me get this straight, you're planning to stop the royal wedding from happening?"

"Yep,"

"With it being basically impossible to do?"

"Yep,"

"With no plan whatsoever?"

"Yep,"

"Ugh you're such an idiot," She says, facepalming as she puts down her cup of tea.

"What else am I supposed to do?" I ask, hopeless.

"I could help you. N-Not like I want to or anything," She says, her cheeks warming up slightly as she stirs her cup.

"Sorry, but I don't want to bother you,"

She looks at me mischievously.

"Oh~ So has someone made themselves a plan yet?"

I hold my hands up in surrender.

"Ah- good point,"

She sighs and takes a sip of her tea.

"This is my way of seeking revenge, anyhow. That guy... I swear," She mutters.

"What was that?"

"Nothing! So let's come up with a plan now, shall we?"

"Sounds good to me,"

❦════༻ 🌷 ༺════❦

Later...

❦════༻ 🌷 ༺════❦

I yawn as I walk back to the dorm building.

Coming up with a well-detailed plan takes a toll on the good ol' brain.

I need a nap...

Entering the dorm room, I'm tackled to the ground.

As we hit the ground, my assailant loses hold of me and I lurch away.

"AHH! DON'T HURT ME!" I yell, holding out my hands.

I hear laughing, and the lights turn on to reveal a boy my age with spiky-brown hair.

"Ashy-boy, you're hilarious sometimes,"

Ashy-boy? A nickname maybe?

"I-I'm sorry, but-"

"Yeah, I know. You lost your memory and all that jazz,"

He grins and places my bags on a desk.

"Anyways, how are we gonna stop Mr. Xavier from marrying your girlfriend, chief?"

"I got a plan- Wait, how do you know about this?"

"Your girlfriend told me all about it already!" He says with a grin, giving me a thumbs up.

"Alright then. I'll text you the plan- wait-"

"I'm Gary Oak, Ashy-boy,"

That nickname again.

"Thanks," I say, impressed as I navigate through my list of contacts.

Wow, I barely have anyone on my contacts. Was I a NEET at some point?

I send him the file, shutting off my phone and plugging it in beside the outlet.

"Ashy-boy, this is a crazy detailed plan and all, but the wedding is coming soon. You sure we'll have enough time to prepare?"

"If not, then it's up to you cause I'm all out of ideas,"

Gary sighs.

"I'll take that as a yes,"

I have to admit though, this plan is pretty risky.

But that won't stop me.

Maybe my memory will come back through all that.

Maybe it will.

Maybe.

Ughhh

School is coming soon for me.

And, along with that, the most difficult year of high school.

Sooooooo yeah. I'll be dead for an entire year.

Hopefully, it'll pass by fast, so it can get to Summer 2019 quickly.
