Malia's heart was breaking all over again. "What do you mean who am i? It's me. It's Malia. Maliki? Maliki-boo?" Kylie just stares at her. "I'm sorry, I don't-" "Kylie!" "Kylie!" Her parents come in and rush to hug her. Suddenly, Malia was feeling like an outsider. The doctor comes in soon after. "Hello there, looks like you lost a lot of blood, your body went into shock." "I don't remember what happened." Kylie tells him. "That's understandable. It happens sometimes. You've been out for a while. I'm just gonna run some tests. You said you don't remember?" Kylie shakes her head. "What's the last thing you do remember?" Kylie thinks. "Um, i was filming that dance special for Descendants. Did i trip and fall or something?" She looks at her parents. Dance special? Descendants?

"Kylie, how old are you?" The doctor asks. "Almost 15." Malia's eyes widen. She doesn't remember the last 6 years of her life?! Her parents look at her, concerned. "Um, Kylie.... you're almost 22." Her dad slowly tells her. "What? No, you're joking right? Is this a joke?" "No mija." Her mom takes out a mirror from her purse and shows Kylie her reflection. "Oh my god....what happened?" She asks. "And who's she?" She whispers as she glances at Malia. "Um, can we get a minute alone?" Her dad asks the doctor. "Of course, I'm almost done. Looks like her vitals are normal, surprisingly. She just has some memory loss, probably from the lack of oxygen to her brain, but it'll come back to her. Just try and help her. Getting back into a daily routine usually helps, some photos. She'll be just fine." The doctor leaves and her parents sit on her bed. Malia stands in the corner, not sure if she should be here or not. She suddenly feels like she's intruding. On her own family. Well in-laws.

"Malia, get over here." Alex calls her over. She slowly walks over. "Kylie....i know this is alot but you lost alot of blood, so you probably forgot the last couple years of your life. But it's ok, don't panic, we're gonna help you through this. Do you want us to tell you everything? Or do you think that might overwhelm you? If so, you can ask us anything and we'll answer." He smiles at her. "Ok....um, you said I'm 22?" She asks. They both nod. "Did i ever finish school?" They laugh slightly. "Yeah, you and Ruby both graduated." Malia smiles at the memory of the two of them on set that day. They had a mini graduation just for them. "How is Ruby? I haven't seen her in a while." Kylie smiles. Her parents wince. "You saw her last week, sweetie." Her mom tells her. "Really? We hung out last week?" They both look at Malia, as if asking for permission. Malia just shrugs. How do you break it to someone that they got married last week and their best friend was the maid of honor? "Yes, sweetie. You did." "Oh....um...." She grabs her dad's hand and leans in. "Who's she?" She whispered. She knew this question was gonna come up eventually.

"That's Malia. Do you remember her?" Kylie shakes her head. "Should i?" She whispered. "Kylie, i need you to stay calm when I tell you this, ok?" Alex and Carol both nod. "Ok?" Kylie looks at them confused. "Malia is your wife." Her eyes widen, almost comedically, if the situation wasn't so sad. "My what?" "She's your wife, sweetie. Remember, i told you you're 22?" "I'm married at 22? I have a wife? I like girls?" Malia almost laughed. Because of course that would be the last thing on her mind. "Yeah Ky." Alex smiles. "And you're ok with that?" She asks. They both nod. "We love Malia. She loves you and takes care of you. I know it's alot, mija. But she's here to help you with whatever you need. I promise." "Wait, what do you mean?" They both sigh. "Well when they discharge you, they're gonna want you to get back into a routine. So your memory could come back, that means going to live with your wife."
