I was running in the halls of the big place that Franics had built. It was on my land, that Francis called a country. I don't know what a country is but I don't care. It's not important. I pushed a door open with all my strength and ran in to see France. I smiled and ran over to him. He smiled.
"Ah! Mon ami! You have found me! How are you Mathieu? I have just come back from a visit with my friends!" He picked me up and sat down on a thing he called a couch. He sat me in his lap facing him. "Tell me all about your day." I smiled.
"Today I caught a fish! I brought it here if you want to cook it! I wanted salmon but I can't find any." I replied, frowning. "My friend Kumajiro helped me catch the fish. Then we went and built a snowman! Though he was naked because I didn't have any clothes for him. I'm sorry. Then we came here! To see you! I'm hungry." He smiled.
"No need to worry mon petit ami. The snowman is made of snow, he cannot get cold. He can however get hot." He put me in his arms before standing up. "How about we go cook us up something to eat?" I smiled.
"Oui!" He gave me a fond look.
"I'm so happy you are coming so far in your French studies. My friends would be so jealous."
"Can I have long hair like your one day Francis?" He smiled.
"Oui. All you have to do is not cut it." I smiled.
"I promise not to cut my hair."
We reached the kitchen and he began to cook the fish. He'd given me toy soldiers and marbles to play with since fish took so long to cook. After what felt like forever I heard plates placed on the table. I stood up from my toys and squirmed into the seat. Francis kissed my cheek.
"Way to go mon ami. Now I have a question. Would you mind if I invited my friends over to come see you? They have kids that are your size too." I smiled.
"Make love, not war!" He grinned.
"That's my boy. You're so sweet, you know that?" I gave him a bigger smile. "I tell them to come over as soon as possible. Until then I'll be staying here with you."
"Yay!" I threw my arms into the air, victoriously. Francis had a place that he lived back in France. I think he told me that's in Europe. So I didn't always get to see him. But when I did get to see him, it was amazing.
