It was late at night and Yuven was sleeping, but he was feeling uneasy. That was until he suddenly woke up from a nightmare, he was panting and sweating from the experience.
Yuven: "What was that?"
Before he could answer that question, he heard a sound coming from his cell phone. He reaches for it and checks, there was a message from Ami.
Ami: "Meet me Downtown tomorrow morning, don't be late." =)
Yuven: "Downtown, why there? Well guess I'll find out in the morning."
He put his phone away and went back to sleep.

Morning arrives and Ami was sitting on a bench waiting. But soon enough she spotted Yuven in her sight, she smiled and waved to get his attention.
Ami: "YUVEN, OVER HERE!"
He heard her yell and quickly noticed her, so he approaches her.
Yuven: "Well I'm here, so what is it?"
Ami: "Aw come on Yuven, don't be like that."
Yuven: "Sorry, I just had a terrible night sleep. So I'm still feeling a bit tired."
Ami: "What happened?"
Yuven: "Oh it was just a nightmare, that's all."
Ami: "Well okay, just want you to know I'm here for you."
Yuven: "Thanks Ami."
Ami blushed a bit before changing the subject.
Ami: "Anyways, since you're trying to regain your memories. I figured I could help you."
Yuven: "So that's why you wanted me to see you."
Ami: "Yeah, I'll escort you around different areas we've been to in the past. Hopefully these places will help you remember."
Yuven: "I really appreciate it Ami, thank you."
Ami: "Oh stop it, after all we're friends right?"
Yuven: "Right."
With Ami's plan set, she grabs Yuven's arm and quickly takes him all around Downtown.

As the two pass through a shopping district, Ami stops and faces Yuven.
Yuven: "What is it?"
Ami: "Do you remember this place?"
He looks and saw a playground full of children and their parents.
"Before this playground became how it is now, it use to have been smaller. This is where we'd spend most of our time."
He looked at it one more time and closes his eyes, suddenly he starts remembering.
Flashback:
It was a beautiful day at the playground, as Yuven was pushing Ami on the swing set. The two were smiling and enjoying their time together, not a care in the world. Suddenly Ami jumps from the swing and lands on her chest. She scrapped her arm and cried from the pain. Yuven rushes over to check on her.
Yuven: "Ami, are you okay?"
Ami: "My arm..."
She continued to cry as he takes out a bandage and gently places it on her wound, then he rubs it softly.
Yuven: "There you go, all better."
Ami stops crying and looks at the bandage before looking at Yuven. Yuven smiled which caused Ami to smile back.
Present:
Yuven: "I remember those days, you jumped off the swing set and got hurt."
Ami: "I know right, but it was sweet of you to cover up my scrape."
Yuven: "Well I couldn't stand around and do nothing, you were hurt."
Ami: "I know."
She turned back around and walked away from the playground.
"Come on, there's still more I've got to show you."
Yuven followed her as she continued leading him around.

As Ami continued guiding Yuven towards their next destination, she suddenly stops which caused him to stop too.
Yuven: "Found another spot?"
Ami: "Yep, remember this place."
He looks and sees an elementary school with students walking around the hallways.
Ami: "This school is where you and I first met."
Yuven: "This school?"
He looks at it once more and closes his eyes, suddenly he starts remembering.
Flashback:
It was afternoon as the bell rung and the students exited their classrooms to go to the cafeteria. Ami first went to the bathroom to wash up, but outside waited two guys.
???: "Are you sure she'll like you?"
????: "Of course she will, all the girls in my class couldn't keep their eyes off me."
???: "All right."
Ami steps out of the bathroom drying her hands when she suddenly sees the two boys standing before her.
????: "Hello there, mind if I accompany you to the cafeteria?"
Ami: "Nah it's okay, but thanks for the offer though."
The boy was shocked that Ami rejected him while she walks into the cafeteria.
???: "Well that was a surprise, first girl to reject you Shinya."
Shinya: "This is absurd, me, the amazing and dashing Shinya Haruno rejected by a girl like her."
???: "Calm down it's only one girl, don't let it get to you."
Shinya: "No, I won't stand for this."
He marches inside the cafeteria with his friend following behind.

Ami sat down alone getting ready to enjoy her meal.
Shinya: "Excuse me, would it be all right if we sat with you?"
Ami: "Sure, that's fine by me."
Shinya: "Great, thank you."
As he approached the table, he trips and releases his plate causing the food to splat on Ami.
Ami: "Hey!"
Shinya: "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. Here let me clean it up for you, Riku give me a napkin."
He faces his friend and gives him a wink, followed by a smirk.
Riku: "Oh o-okay."
Riku attempts to grab the napkins but instead grabs more food and passes it to him.
Shinya: "Thanks, again I'm really so..."
His eyes widened as he 'accidentally' splats more food on her.
Shinya: "Riku, these weren't napkins."
Riku: "S-Sorry, I'll grab some right away. This is wrong, I can't let this go on."
He grabs the actual napkins and passes them to him. But when Shinya felt what he was touching, he dropped them and looked at Riku.
Shinya: "What are you doing?"
Riku: "What you're doing is wrong."
Shinya: "Oh yeah, and what are you going to do about it?"
Riku felt afraid and helpless when he looked at Shinya.
Ami: "You two did this on purpose?"
She started to whimper and cry at what these two did. Riku felt sad for going along with his plan, but Shinya showed no sympathy.
Shinya: "That's what happens when you reject me."
Suddenly he gets pushed by somebody, causing him to fall on the floor. He looks to see who did it and he recognizes him.
Shinya: "Yuven Tatsuya."
Yuven: "This girl did nothing to deserve this, now leave!"
He takes the napkins and wipes off most of the residue from Ami. She stopped crying after feeling something touch her, so she looked.
Yuven: "It's going to be okay, those bullies won't bother you anymore."
Seeing him take care of her cheered her up a bit.
Ami: "Yuven."
Yuven: "Huh?"
Ami: "Your name is Yuven right?"
Yuven: "That's right."
Ami: "My name is Ami, Ami Rindou."
Yuven: "It's nice to meet you Ami."
Present:
Ami: "Ever since you stopped those bullies, we became friends. I remember all the fun moments we had together."
Yuven: "Yeah you're right."
????: "Well now this is a surprise."
They turned around to see who spoke, and they saw two young guys standing behind them.
Ami: "Is that..."
????: "Yes it is."
He removes the sunglasses revealing his eyes.
Ami: "Shinya!"
Shinya: "I've got a score to settle with you, Yuven Tatsuya."
