Finding Nemo/Finding Dory Human AU Shorts

Amnesia

"You're not going to lose her. Death will have to go through us before it tries to take a toll on the kid. It's gonna be alright, okay?" Marlin pauses before nodding and getting out of the car. Meanwhile, Dory slowly woke up to the sound of a distressed Destiny with Bailey next to her and a faint beeping noise. "Is she gonna be okay? Oh, this is all my fault!" Bailey shushed her. "It's alright, Dest. It wasn't your fault. These things happen." Destiny then notices Dory awake.

"Dory!" She cried before hugging her best friend as tight as she could. "Ow!" Dory yelped in pain from the pressure being placed against her ribs making Destiny let go. "I'm so sorry, Dory. If I had just turned harder, you wouldn't be in here." As Dory was about to reply, Marlin and Hank entered the room. I'm an instant, Marlin rushes over to Dory and gently hugged her. "Dory! Sweetheart, are you okay? We came as soon as we got called here." "Yeah, and by the look of it. You seem to have taken a lot of damage, kid." Added Hank.

"W-Who are you?" was all Dory could reply. Marlin's heart sunk. 'Oh no.' He thought. "W-What do you mean? It's me, Marlin." "Who? I'm sorry sir, but I don't feel comfortable being hugged by a stranger." Said Dory before backing away a bit. "Honey, what are you talking about? I'm not a stranger. I'm your boyfriend! We've been dating for almost a year now!" Dory placed a finger on her chin, trying to remember but nothing came. "Sorry, doesn't ring a bell." Marlin turned to Bailey.

"I know she has short-term memory, but how can she forget me entirely?" "Yeah, you see, when the car hit and it caused her to black out, it made her suffer from amnesia." Marlin was breathing heavily in a panic again before Hank came over to him and placed his hands on his shoulders, shaking him. "It's going to be okay, calm down." Hank then looks over at Bailey and Destiny. "Is her amnesia permanent?" "No, it'll clear up within a few days or so." Bailey answered.

"A few days!? No no no no no! I need her to come back to me now!" "Wait, didn't Dory tell you before that if she looks at you it jogs her memory and helps her remember?" Destiny asked. Marlin thought back to the day he thought he lost his son for good and he was about to give up and go home. Before he left, Dory begged him to not leave her all alone, and as much as it broke Marlin's heart to hear that, he could only focus on his son at that moment. "Y-Yeah, she did."

"Then let her look at you and see if it'll help." Suggested Hank. Marlin nodded before the doctor entered the room. He informs everyone about Dory's amnesia and says that she can go home. Once they got back to Marlin's, Nemo and the Tank Gang were there waiting for them. "Daddy!" Nemo quickly hugged Marlin. "Hey, sport." "Gill told me what happened. Is Dory gonna be okay? I don't want her to forget us forever." Nemo panicked. "It's okay, her amnesia isn't permanent. We just need to help her refresh her memory." Marlin assured him. (While also assuring himself.) "How're you gonna do that?" Asked Gill.

"We'll ask her questions about us and hope that it'll help." Destiny and Bailey set Dory gently on the couch and Marlin knelt beside her. "Dory?" She looked up at him confused. "Huh? Who are you? How do you know my name?" He took her hands and intertwined them with his. "Listen to me, you have amnesia, and it's affecting your memory. So what I want you to do is look at me and answer me some simple questions that'll help you regain your memory, okay?" "Okay..." she looked into Marlin's bright orange eyes.

"Now, do you remember what happened before you were taken here?" Dory thought about it, still staring into Marlin's eyes. A sudden memory flash came to her. "I was in a car..." "Yes, and?" Dory pointed at Destiny. "She was there..., and she was driving the car when we got hit.." "Good, do you remember anything about the rest of us?" Dory carefully scanned everyone in the room then locked her eyes back with Marlin's hoping to remember anything, but nothing came to her. She shook her head in defeat.

"That's alright, no need to rush it, honey." Dory suddenly remembers something. "Wait! I think I remember something that happened a long time ago." "What? What is it?" Asked Nemo. Dory looked into Marlin's eyes again, determined to get this right. "I was... a small child,.. and two people were with me." "You remember anything about them?" Asked Destiny. "Well they were a man and a woman... the man was funny, but also kind and the woman was sweet and caring.. T-They're my parents!"

Marlin gave a joyful sigh of relief. "Good! What else do you remember?" "One day, I got separated from them.. and I tried to look for them for years, but then.. I heard someone calling for help." Everyone in the room gasped. "Who was it, Dory?" Asked Bailey. Dory gave Marlin one last glimpse. That was when she knew. It was like her memory had suddenly flooded back into her head with in only a few seconds. She started to remember all the times she had spent with Marlin.

Dory's eyes swelled up with fresh new tears as she leaps into Marlin's arms, crashing her lips against his. "It's you! I-I remember!" She cried, hugging him tighter than ever. Marlin chuckled in relief, hugging her back. "Dory!" Nemo joined in the hug. "Glad to have you back, kid." Gill patted her back. Destiny quickly hugs Dory for what seemed like the tenth time that day. "I'm so sorry I let this happen to you, Dory." Dory gave her best friend a smile of assurance once she let go of her.

"It's okay, Remedy." "Destiny." "Destiny, Right. It's alright, I'm still here aren't I?" "I guess that's true. I'm just glad you have your memory back." "Are you sure about that? Because I suffer from short-term memory loss." Said Dory, forgetting the conversation, making everyone laugh. Meanwhile, Marlin could feel a hand on his shoulder. "See, I told you she would be alright." Hank stood next to him, beer can in hand as always. "Hm, yeah. I'm sorry I got all worked up."

"Don't be, you were just concerned for the one you love and I completely understand that. I'm proud you tried to stay as calm as possible in front of her." "Thanks, trust me it was hard to." Hank chuckled whilst the two were watching Dory talk with the others.
