"I know who you are Stereo." Spike said as soon as Brian left. I didn't realize I wasn't breathing until I sucked in a huge breath of air. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "You don't remember either?" Spike said stretching her arms. "Actually, not surprised. After all you did murder the prince." She said smirking. "You know about that?" I asked surprised. "Oh! So you do remember something! Congrats _______" (Insert your choice of swear word) "No need for the language Spike." I said coldly. "Can't help it." Spike retorted. "By the way, to answer your question, yes. I do know. All stereos know. Even the ones who weren't on the island at the time." She said. I sat down on a bench and rubbed my eyes. "I did murder the prince." I said trying to hide my despair. "Don't hide your emotions. I know you two were dating." Spike snarled. I laughed. "Another thing broadcasted to everyone?" I asked sadly. She nodded. "Fraid so." She said. "I've also heard your story." Spike whispered. I looked up. "And I believe you." Spike said.

"What's a Stereo?" I asked. "What?" Spike said. "A Stereo." I repeated. "You keep calling me a Stereo." I said. "That's right. They took your memory. I'll explain." Spike said annoyed.

"Once upon a time these nerd geeks decided that they didn't like stereotypes mainly because there were so many stereotypes about nerds and geeks. So they created a chip that would specifically make a person do something completely opposite of a stereotype. They tested it on themselves. The stereotype was "people can't change." Well at first when they tested it on one of the nerds it didn't seem to do anything. So they kept working on it. One of the geeks became a billionaire or something and bought a private island." Spike said in a bored tone.

"They created this whole empire and manufactured even more chips to make even more Stereos. No one outside of the island knew about it other than people who worked for the Creators. But the chip they thought didn't work actually did. The person they implanted it in went crazy. At first he was a completely sane person. Very logical, very sympathetic, etc. etc. He ended up killing half of the original Creators. He was finally killed and buried. The Creators realized the problem in the chips and changed them so that even after they were implanted they could still be changed and the Stereo could be controlled." Spike said. 

I looked at her. She gave me a sad look.

"Face it kid..."

"They're controlling you."
