The first time Holland or Lars as he is known now, met the little country of Canada was when he visited France a long time ago.

"Bonjour, Lars. How was your trip?" Francis greeted the Dutchman.

"It was fine just tiresome." he replied. "How are you?"

"I'm am at the peak of bliss. I went to the New World and got a little colony named Canada. She is so CUTE!" Francis squealed in delight.

"Good for you." Lars replied uninterested for he is not interested in little children yet.

"Do you want to see her? " Francis asked.

"Sure why not." He said to please Francis since by the look of his eyes he so wanted to show her off.

"Madeline, come here and greet our guest." Francis bellowed through his house.

A little girl with blond hair tied up in twintails came running down holding her little polar bear. She looked at Lars and curtsied and then looked at her papa with her big violet eyes.

"Bonjour, my name is Madeline and this is Kumajirou." She said in her tiny voice, smiling at Lars.

Lars looked at the girl and felt his heart racing.

"Papa, did I do good?" she sweetly asked Francis. Francis picked her up.

"Oui, you did good mon petit." Francis said kissing her head.

"Papa." Lars thought. "I want her to call me that." He paused. "What why would I want her to call me that? I'm an adult. She's a child, a really cute, sweet , polite, oh crud." He thought, contemplating of what is happening.

"Francis, can I talk to you for a bit in private." Lars said.

"Sure." Francis put down Madeline. "Go play with your bear in your room and I'll be up after I finish okay?"

Madeline nodded and curtsied to Lars again then ran off.

"Francis, I don't know what's happening." Lars started gripping his chest. "My chest is throbbing and I keep thinking about her."

"Ohohohon. You are in love Lars. So who's the lucky lady?" Francis said happily.

"No I can't. It's immoral and you will probably kill me. I will tell you when I feel ready." Lars said painfully.

"Hmm okay. Lars you are my friend and I'll be here when you're ready." Francis assured Lars.

"Okay." Lars said. Then they started their business meeting.
