feel very different, like I thought I would. The uncovered memories aren’t all at my disposal yet. I guess I will have to wait for them to rise to the surface.”
    He raises his pointer finger and turns his head to look over his shoulder at Maverick. He looks back, as if unsure of something. Paden cocks his head and Maverick steps forward. One stands on either side of me and raises their pointer fingers. Together, they make three ghost lines on each of my cheeks. I frown. The sensation brings forth a new memory.
    I’m in a large house. I lounge in a sofa-sized bean bag. This time I’m around ten. On either side of me lies one of the boys: Paden and Maverick. Their heads rest near my own at angled positions. A bowl of popcorn sits on my stomach, and we all grab from it at our leisure.
    On a wall-sized flat screen TV an anime plays out before us. Dubbed in English, with teeth-grinding voices.
    “Sauske!” cries the main character. Just as the fight scene was getting good, they leave it at a cliff hanger, like always.
    “Not there!” I cry in outrage, through a mouth full of popcorn. Now we are going to have to wait until next week for another 15 minute fight scene. 
    Both boys roll onto their sides. “You’ve really gotten into this show,” Maverick says.
    “It’s your fault. You were the one who showed it to me. I can’t help that the fight scenes are epic. I can’t believe I have to wait an entire week to see if Naruto saves Sauske from himself. I want them together so bad!”
    Maverick tsks. “You’re gross. They aren’t gay. That kiss was an accident!”
    “Hey, I can’t help what I like, butthole.” I shove him in the shoulder. He shoves me back with less force than I did him. His hands attack my sides with tickles, and I burst out laughing.
    “Uncle! Uncle!” I call. He eases back, and I finish laughing. When I open my eyes again, a box with the Naruto characters hovers in front of me, held up by Paden.  I see the words ‘Complete first series’ on the cover. I grab it from him and sit up. “No way, no way, no way! This is freaking awesome!”
    “It’s the Japanese version with subtitles. They won’t be releasing the dubbed version on DVD for a while,” Paden says.
    I lie back down between them and pull out the case that has the episode number we would be on. There are only a few more cases that follow. We’re nearing the end, and then I will have to find the sequel. “I don’t care. I will still watch it, multiple times.”
    “I think I know why you like this show so much,” Maverick says. “You are a lot like Naruto, just a tad less annoying.”
    “You know, if you put marks right here,” Paden runs his finger over my cheeks, mimicking the markings that Naruto has, “she would look a lot like his Sexy Jutsu.”
    Maverick mimics the motion on my other cheek. It tickles. “By George you’re right!”
    From that point on, they always marked my cheeks like that.
    “Naruto?” I ask, unsure if that was real or not. It had to be, but I can never be sure.
    A smile passes over both their faces. I will take that as a yes.
    “So you remember?” Maverick asks.
    I shrug. “A little bit. Not a lot. It’s all puddled together with what I believed about you before all this brain washing crap came into play.”
    He bows his head and takes a step back. I grab the belt loop of his slacks. The motion came out of nowhere, but it was done on instinct, like I have done it a thousand times before. I stop him and pull him back. I let go. “I have no idea why I just did that,” I say, now taking a step back myself.
    “You used to do it all the time when we were kids. Usually right before you pinned him to the ground and gave him a wet Willie,” Paden says, a grin now on his face.
    Someone grabs my hand. I look back to see Dante standing there. I can’t read his face. “We should go see about that food now. I’m sure you need it after everything that has happened in the last 48 hours.” He
