Chapter 1 - Reincarnation

"Jake, jake wake up"

With a feeling of drownsines, jake could hear someone calling him.

"Hmmm?"

He slowly woke up and took a look at his surroundings.

He seemed to be in some backyard, sprawled in the ground.

His face felt like it was splitting, as if someone had punched him square in the face.

In front of him there was a white middle age couple in their early 30s, concerned plastered in their face.

His firt thougth was him being kidnapped, but since he was on the open and this people gave him a familiar feeling, he quickly droped the thought.

Giving them another look, what stood up about them to jake, was their massive heigth, while jake himslef wasnt particularly tall at, 181 cm (5'11), the couple in front of him was at least 30 cm (1 foot) taller than him.

"Jake is everything okay? How do you fel

el?"

Seeing jake unresponsive for some time alan asked with worry.

"Alan we need a doctor!"

Said Judith, equally worried about her son.

"I AM a doctor" replied alan semi-offended

"ITS not time for your stupid jokes alan!!" Judith seemed exasperated at her husband mention of being a doctor.

What the hell, i was just in my computer, when it suddenly exploded, and now I'm here? Jake tried his hardest to guess how he ended up in this situation, to no avail.

"Perdon, donde estoy?" ( im sorry where am i?)

Realizing the couple were about to have a fight, jake tried to get their attention and hopefully get to know where he was.

"Oh my god you turned him MEXICAN!" exclaimed judith

"Perdon?" (Excuse me?)

"Judith just stay quiet, ehmmm recuerdas donde estas?" (Do you remember where you are?) Alan trying to hold his panic communicated with his son in spanish with a heavy american accent.

"No mo me acuerdo"

"What did he say" asked Judith

"He says he doesn't remember, go get the car, we'll go to the hospital"

Judith started to run to the car.

Jake, was suddenly carried by this giant men, and put in the back of his giant car, before starting to drive.

He thought of resisting, but seeing the with the ease he was being carried, he opted out of it.

Maybe he could escape through the backdoor and make a run for it.

But he perished that thought the moment he started Looking to the window, he could see a row of giant pre fabricated houses.

Is this the united states, how did i ended up here from Argentina?.

Tryng to make sense of whatbwas happening, jake stared at his small hand, and realized, nothing around him was gigantic, he was just tiny.

In less than 20 minutes the harper family arrived at the hospital.

While alan was busy explaining everything that happened to the doctor

Jake finally pieced everything together.

Jake Harper 9 years old, while alan was pulling a weeds out of his garden, jake seemed to sneaked up beehind him, and when alan abruptly pulled out the weed, jake took an elbow to his face, knocking him out.

The doctors quickly checked him out, and took him to the mri machine.

...

After a few hours

An older white male doctor, was reading a folder with attention in his office in front of jake' s parents.

The doctor closed the folder and looked up at the two exhausted adults sitting across from him.

"Your son, had a concussion. We ran a CT scan to rule out anything serious. The scans are clean — no bleeding, no fractures. Neurologically, he's responsive and moving all his limbs. Pupils are equal and reactive. we didn't find anything that requires surgery, that said, we'll like it if he recevied inpatient care for the nex 24 hours, just in case."

A small relieved sigh could not help but escape from both Judith and alan.

"Of course, whatever you say doctor, but What about his spanish?, he never spoke spanish before" Judith asked with less worry and more curiosity

"Well, it's unusual, but not necessarily alarming. Concussions can temporarily affect language processing. Sometimes patients repeat words or phrases from languages they've heard before. The brain is essentially rebooting."

"My kids brain is rebooting in spanish?" Asked alan.

"For the moment, apparently so"

...

Jake, laying in a hospital bed, with a sudden rush of information from his brain, finaly remembered all of jake Harper's memories.

Memories collided in his mind: an adult life, years of work, the moment of death, and now this room, this body, this childhood he remembered.

And that's when recognition hit him

like a second concussion.

Alan Harper.

Judith Harper.

Not similar. Not lookalikes.

Exactly them.

From the show.

From Two and a Half Men.

Realizing this jake had a unbelievable feeling.

"Oh man"
