Danny had returned home relatively unscathed. Cool weapons, weird trippy dreams- she was overall pretty happy. She was going to chalk it up to a strange dream. One that she was going to go tell Roch about.
Which was what she was doing right now wandering the quad. "Roch? Rooooch?" she called to the swarm of people that had gathered. He had to be in here somewhere, right?
She looked down, realizing there was a weight on her chest. There was a tiny smoking lock sitting on her chest, one that she hadn't known she'd had before. Well that was neat. She must've picked it up in the insanity dream. Yup.

Rikki wanted nothing more than to go straight to his dorm and sleep for twenty hours until he felt less like he'd been run over by a few horses. Instead, he immediately began elbowing through the crowd, calling out.
"Danny! Danny!"
It panicked him moreso than anything that through the entire ordeal he'd only seen Danny once. Not even seen, just heard. He was afraid of what that could mean.
He struggled through the crowd continuing to shout her name, paying no mind to the new weight swinging around his neck.

"I'm here!" she cried out. "That's me!"
That was her name.
Nailed it.

There! Rikki swiveled to the sound of her voice and pushed through the last few people separating them to finally find Danny standing there looking like she always did. He let out the easiest breath he'd had since coming back to himself and rushed towards her.
"Thank jack," he said, hugging her. He pulled back and cupped her face in his hands, tilted his chin left then right so he could be sure she was okay, and then pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I was worried about you, Screech."

Well Danny did like hugs. She squeezed back, sort of awkwardly, but still a good hug. He had a nice angle about him, that was good. Some people were really bad huggers, but he was pretty okay.
"Oh. Well uh. That's pretty nice of you I guess." Danny rolled her shoulders, sort of alarmed that he was being so forward as to kiss her on the forehead. She awkwardly pushed away, rubbing her forehead.
He was at least good looking, but you didn't just do that. "You're a friendly kind of dude, huh?"

His brows furrowed as she pushed him away, but he still gave out an awkward sort of laugh. "Not really. Friendliness is kind of reserved for you only. And Roch when I need him to do something, I guess."
He rolled his shoulders in a shrug, not liking the way she was looking at him. Had he done something wrong? Maybe he hadn't tried hard enough to find her in the chaos of their memories, and she was pissed. Actually, yeah that seemed like it was the most probable...
s**t, he was a bad boilfriend.

"Huh." It seemed the guy was trying to flirt with her? It was sort of sleazy, actually. "Oh! You're friends with Roch? Me too me too! He's my best friend in the whole wide world he's-"
She scratched the back of her head. "Oh sorry. My name's Danny, what's yours?" She looked up, walking a few paces towards the reaper dorms. Roch was probably there. "Kinda weird, Roch usually tells me when he makes new friends." She laughed a little giggle. "But that's 'cause he's gross and doesn't have a lot."

This was... getting way more confusing that it had any right to, really. Rikki tilted his head, now completely lost. "Of course I'm friends with Roch. I've been his friend since before you and I started dating. He's like my brother."
"Danny," he stopped her from walking, using a hand on her shoulder to turn her towards him. "You already know my name. What's going on? Are you okay?"

Now Danny's expression turned to the same pained confusion. "Um? We're dating?" she scratched her head. "I don't think I've ever dated anyone ... well I guess Amphi came pretty close, but I don't think she counts ... Especially since she dated Roch!"
Name? What was his name ... "Ooh ooh is it like a guessing game? I already know it huh ..." She got a look a very pained concentration on her face. "IS IT .... Vincent?? You look like a Vincent."

Rikki's face bunched up in a pained expression. "Danny if this is a joke it isn't funny. At all, screech."
Wait...
"Vincent?! Really? That punk servant of yours? I'm not Vincent! Danny seriously, do you not know who I am?"

Danny took a step back, a bit alarmed by how strongly this guy was reacting. "I- No Vincent is- I haven't seen him for like months ... I don't-"
She looked to him with confusion, the apparent effort to try and figure it out reeling in her eyes. "I don't know who you are ... Are you a cousin or something?" He was clearly a reaper though. "I thought my whole family was demons though ... like Andrew I guess?"

She genuinely didn't know him. His face went slack. She didn't know his name, or that they were dating. She couldn't even remember that he was friends with Roch, which he'd been certain was common knowledge. She'd forgotten everything about him...
Had the other world done this? Maybe she just hadn't gotten all of her memories back. Maybe they'd come later?
He ran both hands through his hair and tangled is fingers in the back so he could shield his head between his arms. "No, no Danny. I'm not your cousin. I'm your boilfriend. My name is Rikki."

"But I told you, I've never had a boilfriend ..." Her voice dragged out, fading to a whisper. Rikki? Did she hook up with someone in the tear and forget? No- that seemed like a pretty important thing to remember. Was he pulling her leg?
She took another step back, hand now tearing at her hair, tugging it lightly to try and jog her memory. "Rikki ... Rikki .... Riiiiiikki." She bit her lip and said, "Sorry I really don't know you dude. Did my mom send you or something? 'Cause if so I can pay you for whatever it she wanted you to do and we can like ... move on or whatever. I'm really not interested in any guy my mom's set up ..."
Though admittedly- as stated earlier- he was pretty handsome. Danny wouldn't mind having that on her arm. "Um ... are you sure? Maybe there's like another one of me." She gasped. "What if I have a clone?! What if I AM the clone ... oh my Jack ..."

Jack. This wasn't something he'd ever though he'd experience. It was was painful to watch her rack he memory and come up with nothing like his name wasn't familiar in the slightest. And then she thought he was just some guy her mom had set him up with? It was just fifty levels of painful.
"Do I look like the kind of a guy a mom would set her daughter up with?" He asked, holding out his tattooed arms in front of him. "I probably have more piercings in my ears than your mom's ever even considered," he laughed a little brokenly.
"I don't think you're a clone you just... don't remember me... Why don't you remember me?" It was a rhetorical question, Rikki already had his theories. A lot of wild theories, actually. He was just having trouble processing.

Danny shook her head. "No I guess not. My mom's kinda uptight." She giggled and said, "But I like the tattoos! They're neat! She sighed. "Is your mom all rich and uppity too?"
She shrugged. "Sorry, I told you. I really don't know you man. But hey, we can be friends!" She took his hands, leaning in closer to him. "You can help me look for Roch!"'
