Bill dragged a large banner around the lair, holding the yellow colored banner in one arm, above him was the rest of the banner on the ladder, being fastened by Alex on a ladder. He yelled down the ladder "Keep Holding the banner Bill! I can't have it fall!" he fastened the rope to a thin pipe and started to step down. "This celebration has to be HUGE!"

Victoria rolled through the lair, setting up confetti sprinkles and paper flying about. She began to shout happily "Alex all the confetti is done!"

The boys strolled in and Alex gasped at the array "Did you have to use so many sprinkles." He slipped "I slipped on all of this.."

Victoria huffed "Well, did you have to hang all of these lights?" they all looked above them, heavy metal lights of all colors, black metal hanging from strings thin and thick…. It didn't look very secure. Turned on, they projected a wonderful slogan "HAPPY ANIVERSARY!" in bold lettering. Alex rolled his eyes "Of course I did! How else was I going to work on the hologram of their love!" he flipped a switch, and the hologram changed with a buzz and spark into another image of Rosalie and Ratigan in a loving embrace. Suddenly, the image buzzed and a light detached from the rope. Victoria quickly ducked, avoiding the light striking her. Alex shrugged his shoulders "I can fix that."

She growled "That almost hit me!"

He tugged on the rope, watching it fasten back to its position "Well, it didn't.." Fidget hobbled in, quickly in a huff "They're here! There coming through the pipe!"

"Do you think she knows?" Bill asked.

Alex shrugged "Bah! Ratigan is so good at hiding any secrets, you couldn't read it from his face." He hastily tied the rope to a small pole and ran out with the others. Slowly, the rope began to unwind….

Ratigan led Rosalie out of the pipe, her eyes blindfolded. Rosalie laughed "James! We've been married a year, I think I know everything you have up your sleeve." He squeezed her hands lovingly "Don't assume my dear, I still have many schemes up my sleeve."

Ratigan turned behind her and faced the others, whispering "Places, go to your places!" everyone began to scatter into the barrel. Ratigan then faced Rosalie, standing in a long violet gown with long sleeves, fidgeting with her fingers. The bandage was withholding his favorite feature of his… her eyes..She was smiling happily, looking lovely as ever. Ratigan stopped for a moment, just to look at her. He sighed a little loudly, Rosalie laughed "Stop staring at me and take this thing off my face." He smiled happily and started to take the bandage off "Prepare to be amazed."he slipped the bandage off. Her eyes began to flutter open, and she sighed, the banner painted by the children, The 'R' in Rosalie was painted backwards in red paint and she sighed "Oh!" she smiled "Wow, this looks great!" she laughed "This is so cute… didn't expect something like this from you." She moved to him, kissing his cheek "I love it." Ratigan quirked a brow "Well, I knew you would like it.. made by the children."

Rosalie sighed "What a perfect day.." She moved towards the lair "Well, I have to go check in on P.J… I'm sure he's missed me since dinner." She looked behind her "Thank you so much for such a great night. I mean it… it was wonderful."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it my love."

"I never knew that you could do something simple… normally you go for something grand and HUGE." She exclaimed. Ratigan tipped his hat "Naturally."

Rosalie sighed once more "It was nice." She wandered into the dark barrel. She muttered "Why are the lights all out!"

The lights turned on to reveal the display, everyone screamed "SURPRISE!" Rosalie screamed in shock "OH MY!" she started to laugh in disbelief "This is WONDERFUL!"

Ratigan appeared at her side and she turned "I knew you'd do something like this!" She kissed him, he held her in a loving embrace. The professor giggled "Only I could hide such a secret from you!"

Rosalie laughed and looked around "This is wonderful!" she giggled "I can't say it enough." She walked further through the barrel, admiring the display "Alex this is wonderful! The lights are beautiful!" Alex bowed gently "Thank you madame!" She turned and faced her husband, not knowing the rope continued to unfasten, unfurling from its spot "James… I love you.."

"And I-"

The light unfastened and flew right towards Rosalie, hitting her hard, in the middle of her head. Rosalie flew backward from the force of the light, and plopped on the floor with a thud, completely motionless. Ratigan shouted "ROSALIE!" he rushed to her, holding her in his arms. Alex stood frozen with the others, who started to rush around her. Victoria shouted "I told you to secure it!"

"I did!" he looked to the rope "I did…" Victoria shook her head in disappointment. Ratigan rubbed her head, and held it up gently. He started to whisper to the girl "Rosalie?" he questioned. He tried again, gently shaking her "Rosalie? Can you hear me?" he shook her again "Rosalie please wake up…" he saw her flutter her eyes open, but started to spin around. Ratigan smiled "Oh thank goodness Rosalie, you're awake."

She looked up at Ratigan, and her eyes grew wide "Wh—Who's Rosalie?" then she passed out once more. Ratigan's eyes widened, he looked at the group "We need to go see Dawson."

AT THE HOSPITAL…

Ratigan sat nervously in his seat, looking at the door in two minute increments. Dawson finally emerged, a clipboard in his hands. Ratigan stood, along with the children, Bill, Fidget, and Nicholas; his most trusted thugs. Dawson took off his glasses and sighed heavily. He looked to Ratigan "Professor… Um… would you mind if I talked to you alone?"

"Not for the world, anything you must declare.. say it in front of all of us.."

Dawson saddened his eyes "It appears your wife has amnesia.."

Everyone gasped. Victoria, holding P.J in her arms "Is she going to be alright? What's ammonia?"

Dawson smiled gently "It's pronounced Amnesia.. And she will be fine… Amnesia is a disorder caused by a brute force to the brain, causing partial or complete memory loss."

Victoria gasped again "She doesn't remember?"

Dawson looked to Ratigan "Yes.." Dawson flipped through his notebook and huffed "Well, my nurse is currently caring for her right now." He looked to Ratigan, lost in his thoughts "Professor?"

"Hm?" Ratigan looked up, his eyes saddened and stressed "May we see her?"

Dawson shook his head "I recommend you come in only… she is a bit shaken and confused for the moment.. She still has no idea where or who she is."

"So what must we do?" Ratigan asked.

Dawson shook his head "There is not much you can do right now, but give it time.." he took off his glasses, beginning to rub his tired eyes "Her memories are sure to come back, just with time and patience."

He looked to the children "I do recommended you taking the children home, so that you may have some time with her alone." Ratgian looked to Bill and nodded, and the children with no struggle left the facility. Ratigan sighed heavily. Dawson patted his shoulder "Rest assured, I'm sure her memories will return shortly upon seeing you." She smiled gently. The door to her room opened to reveal a rather handsome mouse, with bright white fur. He had pronounced cheek bones and a debonair smile. His sparkling blue eyes brought an optimism and hope to them… it made Ratigan nearly sick. He smiled "Doctor, She's starting to wake up.."

"Marlon, our new nurse.."

The mouse nodded "Professor! Nice to see you!"

The professor simply nodded, disgusted by his handsome charm. He walked through the door, Rosalie was laying on the hospital bed, rubbing her temples and starting to wake up. Dawson appeared at her side, her green eyes growing with concern "Doctor.. W-Where am I?"

"You are safe my dear. I am David Q. Dawson, you are in the Calncy Hospital and intensive care unit of London… you have suffered a tragic accident, erasing your memory." He patted her hand "Your name is Rosalie Hampstead.."

She rose out of bed "Y-yes… I am Rosalie.." she smiled gently "I remember my name.." Dawson smiled with her, "See? You're already making progress." Dawson then spoke gently to her "Someone is here to see you."

Rosalie gasped "I'm m." She looked at her left hand, seeing the large ring on her finger "Wow.." she turned, to face Marlon the nurse "Are you here to see me?"

He laughed "Oh no miss, I wish I was but… No, my name is Marlon.." he smiled at her gently. Rosalie sighed "You have a lovely name.."

"As do you.." he said, flirtatiously. Rosalie giggled "So who is here?"

Ratigan appeared behind Marlon, through the shadows.. he didn't mean to be, but he looked every bit terrifying. Rosalie gasped in shock "W-Who are you?"

His heart broke in two, he sighed heavily and took her hand, gently kissing it. It was his own decorum that demanded him to do it. "My name is Padriac James Ratigan, at your divine service my dear." Rosalie took her hand away from the kiss and rubbed her hand. She continued to stare at the terrifying creature before her "Do I owe you money?" she looked him up and down, at his complete ensemble. Ratigan stifled a laugh, taking his hat off, making him less intimidating. He cleared his throat "No.. I am… your husband."

Rosalie froze, her eyes growing wide "Y-You're my what?"
