Fran walked through the Varia mansion on his way to his shared room. He had just come from a meeting with Xanxus about his trip home that he did every year at this time of year. He would take a mission there and be back two weeks later. He opened the door and began packing happy he didn't have to explain what was going on to Bel his roommate who would ask and ask.

"Ushishishi~ what are you doing Froggy?"

Great just the person he wanted to meet.

"Does it matter fake-prince-sempei? Boss knows what I'm doing." He replied in his usual monotone.

"But the prince wants to know!"

Fran sighed "Fine. You can come with me then. I am visiting my grandmother for two weeks in France along with a mission there"

"Froggy was going on a mission without me. Froggy can't do that" He threw a knife at the giant frog hat "Froggy shouldn't hide things from the prince"

Fran groaned inwardly. He didn't want to take Bel with him. The people who turned up last year may try and get him again. He had been lucky last time that it had been on the last day that he was there and he had been able to get away from them and back to the mansion where he knew that he couldn't be tracked.

"I am leaving in an hour. If you want to come then tell Boss and be ready. I won't wait for you. "With that he turned and walked into the living room where Lussuria had put a film on, ignoring Bel.

He was surprised when an hour later Bel arrived, fully packed and ready to go. Fran waved and hand at the bags where they shrunk. He put them in his pocket and held on to Bel's arm.

"Do not let go of me or you will end up somewhere weird. I don't want to lose someone while doing this."

Bel shrugged and held onto Fran's arm. They then disappeared silently and appeared in a forest.

"Bel-sempai you can let go now. We have arrived."

Fran stood and began to walk away from the clearing that they had appeared in. Bel was still watching him completely confused. Realising Fran was leaving him he quickly stood and began to follow him, keeping quiet for once. After about 10 minutes of walking they arrived at a small cottage. Bel looked over at Fran as he was showing his emotions. He looked worried.

"Bel. Be careful. There is something wrong." With that he began to walk into the garden of the cottage, weaving an illusion over his features. When he reached the door he knocked calling out.

"Madam. Madam, are you there? We received a notice from a local who hadn't seen you in a while and asked me to check up on you."

When there was no response Fran picked the doors lock and entered anyway.
