This choice: Amy explains what happened to her and her friends long ago • Go Back... "How did I rescue you?"
"Why by...", Amy stopped and thought, and finally continuing with, "You know, I haven't the slightest idea. I'm sure you did, and I am just as sure I am very thankful, but I just have no idea." She didn't seemed at all concerned by this glaring hole in her memory, bur Ryan was.
"You mean you have completely forgotten something important like that?"
Casually twirling a braid, Amy remains unphased as she told the boy, "I suppose. I wonder what it was... I'd like it to have been that you won me in a horse race from some nasty old slave owner, though you don't look like much of a rider and I'm better than most everybody. Oh! Maybe I rid your horse to victory. That sounds good. I do like horses and riding. I'd like that to have been the case... though it doesn't sound too likely."
"No, it does sound like some tale out of a book."
"Book? What's a book?"
Waving his hand at his bookcase, Ryan said toe Amy, "Surely you know what a book is. Everybody does." Advancing to the bookcase, Amy answered, "I am not everybody." She selects a book at random and looks it over as if she has never held one before. When her unsure grip allows it to flop open to a page, she looks startled, and worried. "Oh dear, did I break it?"
"No..", a befuddled Ryan told her, having problems absorbing all of this, but he managed to stammer out, "Ah, you can read, right?"
"Of course I can read and write", Amy told Ryan as she took glances at the book in front of her face.
"But you've never seen a book before?"
"No, never. What is ...?" Glancing at the open page, Amy continued, "Oh, I see. A book is a way to hold words, which yes I can read ...'Her brazenly exposed aroused peaks were like proffered fruit, awaiting his tender tou…”
But by this point Ryan has snatched the book from her hands. How had one of those gotten in the bookcase? Mom would have a fit if she found out…
”Ah, that will do, Amy", a worried Ryan said to the girl as he placed the book down under his bed.
Amy, however, was not so sure “I’m not sure what that meant, but it sounded interesting...”
“Maybe later. Right now I want to ask some more questions.” Ryan thought this was getting distinctly weird, and it was getting more so. Amy knew a great deal of routine things, but had a great many gaps in her knowledge, and Ryan could find no pattern to what she did and did not know. To keep it confusing, she knew a number of things that Ryan didn’t.
“You can’t remember any names or personal data, or dates, or anything like that. I guess you have amnesia…Ah, you know what that is?"
“Sure”, Amy answers in her normal, cheerful voice. “Memory loss.”
Ryan doesn’t press her on the definition. His own knowledge on the subject was pretty much limited to a few TV shows, which brings up the question of how a lass who didn’t know what a TV was would know that. Just one more strange part of her mind like many others…
“At first I thought you were just some strange doll, but you seem to have been a person before you were a doll…But wait a second. You didn’t put your underclothes back on?” Ryan had not been looking as she had dressed herself, an action dictated by his desire to get himself under control, a feeling she needed a little privacy, and by cowardice.
“They were too much trouble and in the way.”
“But women always wear them…”
“I never have.”
A rather interesting [perhaps too interesting as he threatens to embarrass himself again] example of her ability to talk confidently of a past she can’t remember. Indeed, Amy seemed to say “always”, “never”, and “I have no idea” almost at random. But this case is odd. Haven’t women always worn panties and bras?
Time to get another source of information. Maybe turn to the other dolls?
