Aidens POV
I sat at the piano attempting to learn Für Elise. I told dad I decided to learn piano because he wanted me to, but in reality I wanted to learn for Lily.
I wish she was the one teaching me.
Daddy has become different after us leaving New York. He decided to move us upstate Indiana since he had expansions of M Corp here. Lily wasn't here so I hated it. I heard the front door open and close, then footsteps.
"How's it coming bud?"
"Daddy!" He's... happier
"Hey peanut. Whatcha learning?"
"Für Elise. Can you help me?" True test.
"Sure!" He patted my head and walked over to the piano. I sat down beside him.
"Hey daddy?"
"Yes?" He began to show me how to play.
"It's been a year now... maybe she's recovered her-
"No Aiden! I've told you time and time again, she won't recover her memory. If she does, she wouldn't be the same Lily we know and love. Aiden, we can't go back to her. We-
He paused and hung his head down. He rubbed his eyes and began to play again.
"I miss her daddy."
"I know peanut, but we can't go back. It would only hurt us more."
"So she really won't remember us?"
"...yeah. She won't remember us."
"Oh... okay." I tried to mimic what he did but I kept failing. "I'm just gonna go play with my cars in my room." I got up and walked off.
I closed the door and began to cry.
I know you are lying, but why?

"Okay uncle Ollie, it's time for operation happy."
"Opera what?" He looked so confused.
"Operation happy. We are going to make daddy happy again. I can tell he's faking being happy so he thinks that I can't tell that his soul is screaming for his true love."
"You are so lucky he's at work or he would have a few words with you about that. Besides, I've tried kid. Nothing works, he just won't listen."
"I have something that is guaranteed to work." He rolled his eyes.
"What's that? A lollipop? Sorry kid but-
I chucked my car at his head.
"What the fudge man!?"
"Just shut up and listen."
"Once you stop being so aggressive" Wussy
"Here's the plan, we go back to New York, talk Lily into your coming back with us- hopefully she remembers us, and lock her in daddy's room until he gets home." He rubbed his forehead.
"And how exactly do you plan on getting her? You're seven."
"And you have a jet and muscles. Alls I need, is you and your plane." He stared at me in disbelief.
"Are you out of your mind? Your dad would kill me if he found out. No. I'm not doing it."
"OLIVER MORETTI! Your brother- my father- is practically dying from a broken heat. Are you seriously going to sit there and deny our chance to bring two love birds back together? It's been too long." He looked scared. I had gotten right up in his face. He looked away and sighed.
"Listen kid, even if we get her to come, there is still a chance none of it will work. Not to mention, you will be grounded for life if you do this. Are you sure you really want that?" I put my hands on my hips.
"What I'm sure of, is that daddy loves Lily and so do I. I want her to be my mommy and I plan on doing just that. So, I'm leaving one way or another but I'm offering you to come with me."
"A minute ago you said you needed me and my plane."
"Mostly your plane."
"Fine. We can do it. When do we leave?"
"Now. We have to go before daddy gets home."

The ride to New York was amazing and the view was spectacular. When we landed, we headed to Buffalo. Before we left, we told the maids not to tell anyone where we went. We left dad a note saying 'we love you it's time for operation happy.'
"Do you even know where we can find her kid?" I thought of all the places she might be at.
"Her work, the store maybe, or her house. I don't really know where else."
"Well isn't that a brilliant plan." He rolled his eyes. I rolled mine back. We then got into an eye rolling competition.
"Your a dork uncle."
"I know. But hey, just... don't be disappointed if things don't go the way you planned."
"I'll try. Let's go to her work first."

"I'm sorry, but Dr. Eyler quit a few months ago. She broke down during a surgery of a young boy. She quit after that. Rumor has is she rarely gets out of her house." That doesn't make sense.
"Thank you miss. We'll be going now." Uncle grabbed my hand and we walked out of the building.
"Well that was a total flop!"
"Not entirely. We know the chances of her being at home is high. Let's check there, if she's not, we should go get a hotel and check again in the morning." I nodded.
"Wait uncle, do you know her address?" Both of us stared at each other. We nodded as if we could read each others mind. Back inside we went.
"You wouldn't happen to have her address would you?" Uncle asked the lady.
"I do... but I'm afraid I cannot give it to you. That is private information and I cannot give it out." He sighed.
"Miss, this is very important. Please just-
"A-Aiden?" I turned my head at the voice, it was Cecil, Lilies friend.
"CECE!" I ran into her arms. We only met a few times, but I loved her muches.
"What's are you doing her kiddo? Is your dad here?"
"No. He doesn't know we are here. We came to talk to Lily, can you help us?" She smiled.
"Buddy, I want to. But if you end up leaving again, I don't think she will make it."
"We won't leave. I won't allow it. Please help us Cece."
"Okay."
She gave us Lilies address and told us she should be home. I gave her a hug and we left. On the drive there, I thought about what I would say to her. I was anxious, after a year, I finally get to see her.
"You excited?" I nodded furiously. "Good because we are here." He pulled into a driveway. I didn't even realize we were there until uncle pointed it out. The sun was setting, it was beautiful.
"I'm scared uncle. What if she really doesn't remember us? What if she doesn't want to see me? What do I do?" I looked at him in fear. He rested his hand on my shoulder.
"We got this. Don't be scared."
We got out of the car and walked up the front steps. I hesitated before knocking, looking at Uncle Ollie. He gave me a reassuring nod. I knocked.
The door slowly opened, Lily came into view. She just stared at us in shock.
"A-Aiden? Oliver? Am I that delusional?" She fell to her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks. I hugged her, crying with her.
"I'm really here. I missed you *hic* so much! I thought you would never remember us." She hugged me back, we crushed each other in a hug. I buried my face into her neck, she still smelled like strawberries.
"I missed you too buddy. So, so much, but why would I not remember you?"
"Daddy said so. He said the attack would make you forget us and you wouldn't be the same."
"Of course I remember you. Did Lance come?"
"No. Lance doesn't know we are even here. Booger over her, convinced me to come with." Who you calling booger you old man.
"Oh... well are you guys hungry? I was just about to start dinner."
"Famished!" I say as I rub my belly. She laughed and led us inside.

Lances POV
"Aiden, Oliver! I'm home. I brought pizza, I had the maids cancel dinner plans. Where are you guys?" I set the pizza on the counter, I looked everywhere. They weren't in the house. I decided to call Oliver, nothing.
"Okay guys, this isn't funny anymore, where are you?" Still no response.
I went and rung the bell for a maid.
"Yessir?"
"Where are Oliver and Aiden?" She went pale.
"I- Uh- they went to Oliver's place..." she looked away.
"You are the worst liar ever. Where are they?" She ducked her head.
"I promised not to tell."
"You realize you obey my orders right? So, where. Are. They?" She cowered in fear.
"They wouldn't say where, but I over heard them talking about something called Operation Happy. It included Oliver's jet. Other than that, I swear I don't know!" I scoffed and walked off.
I saw a little note on the table where I set the pizza.
Sorry daddy. We love you, but it's time for Operation Happy. Love- Aiden and Ollie.
I went into Aidens room, looking for any clues.
I found a small notebook in between his mattresses. I opened it, written inside it was Operation Happy.
Operation happy
Operation happy is to make daddy happy by bringing Lily back. I convince uncle to take me back to New York and we get Lily to remember us and then bring her back.
