Arthur couldn't remember what it was, but he knew that he was forgetting something. He had been standing in his study, in front of the big glass windows which ran the breadth of the room across from his desk and that looked out over his spacious countryside lawn, and trying to remember what it was he had forgotten. He knew it had to do with Mathew, Canada, he had finally figured that out after the first hour of staring out at the lawn, and his beautiful little garden, but he couldn't remember what it was until finally, he got it. He strode over to his desk and yanked on the bell-pull. A maid scurried into the room moments later and curtsied then stood ready.

"Fetch Mathew." He ordered.

She nodded and left.

Arthur had forgotten to teach his most important lesson to Mathew. It was to be expected, of course. Mathew was now one of his oldest colonies and with Alfred...gone, well, he had let his duties as his colonies reigning teacher and nation slide...a bit. Well, actually, a lot.

Arthur sighed, and a new fire lit in his vibrant green eyes.

Arthur was going to teach Mathew what it is like to be a human. Literally.

Mathew would need the experience to bond with his people properly, after all, and Arthur wasn't in the exclusive Magic Club for nothing. It was pretty much his duty as Canada's colonizer to do this after all.

The door opened and Arthur turned around to face it.

"Mathew." Arthur stated as Mathew arrived in his study.

"It appears I have neglected to teach you a lesson."

Mathew awkwardly shifted around and played with his hands, a nervous habit he had thought he'd broken Mathew of. "Have I done something wrong, sir?"

Arthur sighed again and snapped. "Stop playing with your hands."

Mathew snapped to attention.

"Better. Arthur's vivid green eyes regarded Mathew coldly. "I expect to see you in my magic room in an hour. Now leave."

Arthur tripped and stumbled on his way out of the room as he hastily tried to leave both quietly and swiftly. An impossible feat for his recently grown body. He was pretty much the equivalent of a human teenager right now. He barely even looked eighteen! Such a young nation.

But Arthur was pleased.

That stumble, no matter how much of it was due to Mathew's ill-fitting and still growing limbs, had boosted his own ego. Because it meant something important. He had made Mathew nervous. Mathew still feared and respected him.

And, THAT, was very good.

As his colonizer, he had to be respected. Especially with the recent developments around America claiming Independence. As the power in charge, his position was fragile right now. Hopefully, this lesson would help fix it.

Maybe Mathew would even confess to some small wrong doing of his that he had missed and that he could still get after Mathew about before he had to wipe his memories and set Mathew off to be a human for a few good solid months.

Ahhhhh, he was pretty much a genius.
