"That was a fun experience, right Gil?" said Mathew as he and Gilbert where walking into the airport. Mathew let his hair fall again with a sigh of relief and took the hair clip off. "I'm glad I don't have to walk around with pigtails anymore"

" Gilbert said with a voice that Mathew noticed (but chose to shrug it off) sounded like he was lost in his own little world. Mathew shuttered as a sudden wind passed them

"I forgot how cold it was here. I'm freezing" he said hugging himself when he was suddenly pined against the wall. Gilbert had his arms on both sides of Mathew's head as red eyes stared intensively at violet.

"Let me help you get warm."

"W-w-what? Gil what are you doing?" he said, his voice cracking a bit. Suddenly he began trembling and his knees started to get week.

"You know..." he said simply "I've called you my best friend since I first met you. But I'm getting tired of looking at you and not being able to kiss you"

"W-what are you-" he was stopped mid-sentence by a squeak that came out of his throat as he felt a cold hand slide underneath his shirt. He immediately tried to force it away but Gilbert grabbed his wrists with his other hand and held them above his head.

"You aren't fooling anyone Mathew, I could see it in your eyes since I first moved here to Canada" he said not breaking eye contact with him. Mathew gasped when he felt his hand move to his back and trail down. Gilbert started getting closer, their faces only inches apart. "I'm not going to miss my chance again" he said getting even closer. Their noses were practically touching and Mathew could feel Gilbert's breath on his lips when…

"BIRDIE, BIRDIE, BIRDIE, BIRDIE WAKE UP WE GOT A LOT TO DO TODAY C'MON RISE AND SHINE SLEAPING BEAUTY THE SUN IS UP C'MON WE'RE WASTING PRECIOUS DAY LIGHT!" Mathew opened his eyes only to find that the room was shaking…only it wasn't the room. Gilbert was literally shaking him awake.

"Huh?" was his only response.

"I GET TO CHOOSE WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY SO HURRY UP!" he said running of the bed (and trampling Mathew along the way) Mathew sat on the bed as his friend kept shouting to get dressed, with his head bowed and thought…why did I have that dream?

ooooOOOOoooo

Mathew and Gilbert were once again searching for the German couple since they were (again) left behind. That meant that once again was stuck wearing Gilberts swimming shorts but this time he decided wear a shirt over the bikini top.

"So Birdie…" he said in a suspicious tone. "Did you have a nice dream last night?"

"Huh?!" he responded as his face started to turn red.

"Is it some guy from Canada? Do I know him?" he said getting closer to the Canadian.

"I…I-I don't know what you're talking about…" he said turning away.

"Kesesesese don't lie to me birdie, you sounded like you were having a good time…" he said with a grin only making the poor Canadian's face heat up more. "C'mon birdie…I'm your best friend you can tell me anything"

"R-really Gill…I-I'm serious…I don't….it….it…I'm not…."Mathew started getting choked up on his words so he decided to stay quiet while Gilbert laughed. They continued walking and searching as Gilbert (having the attention span of a moth) changed the subject of their conversation every minute or so. Once they found them they ran up to them (Mathew being once again dragged by the wrist).

"So you guys ready for an awesome day?!" he said with all the enthusiasm he could.

"Well honey you see…." Brigitte said in an overly sweet voice "We were planning to go along with your plans but…we are going to a fancy diner tonight"

Gilbert looked at her with a puzzled face. "But diner is at night…and we are doing stuff right now…during the day…" he said slowly as if he was explaining something to a child.

"Yea but I want to go dress shopping and spend some quality time with Madeline while I'm at it" Gilbert looked at her with an enormous pout as if he was a child again, being told he couldn't buy the toy he'd been waiting for. "Gilbert you are a grown man, there is no reason for you to do that kind of facial expressions." Gilbert's pout only grew as he held a staring contest with his mother while Dominik and Mathew kept quiet with a clearly amused face.

"We can do whatever you want tomorrow, for now, why don't you have some father-son bonding time?" she said sweetly. Gilbert let go of Mathew's wrist and walked away mumbling something about this being a bunch of bull shit while Dominik trailed behind. "Shall we get going then?" said Brigitte turning to Mathew who laughed at his friend's misfortune when he realized…he had to go dress shopping.

ooooOOOOoooo

Why me, why me, why me? Why does this stuff only happen to me? Mathew kept whining inside his head while trying to keep a smile on his face. Brigitte was the first to find her dress but had a hard time finding one for Madeline mainly because "she" wasn't really looking. Eventually she got serious and Mathew was once again shoved into a dressing room with a bunch of clothes he was forced to try on.

"You look beautiful, I really like this one!" said Brigitte excitedly.

"I-I don't know" said Mathew scratching the back of his head. "Blue isn't really my color"

"Hmmmm….I guess you're right. Try the red one then!" Mathew sighed but did as told. He came out again wearing a red dress with two straps that crossed in the front and tied in the back of his neck with half the back exposed.

"Yup…red is definitely your color, just let me try one more thing." She got up from where she was previously sitting and walked up to Mathew with a white flower. She pulled "Madeline's" hair into a side ponytail and stuck the flower next to his ear. "Perfect!" Mathew let out a sigh of relief that didn't have to try anything else. He went back in the changing room when he heard his phone ring. It's probably Gilbert, he thought with a smile.

"Madeline it's from Gilbert" said Brigitte proving him correct.

"What did he say?"

"He asked if we are done already"

"Can you tell him that we are almost done for me?"

"Of course" Mathew finished changing and came back out of the dressing room only to find Brigitte staring at his phone with a smile. "So Madeline, who is this handsome young man…he looks exactly like you" she said not giving the phone back yet.

"Oh that's my brother Alfred" He said and she nodded.

"What about the one with the cowlick?" she asked.

Merde was Mathew's first thought. He had forgotten that the picture he had as his background was one of him and Al together before he moved to America while Mathew stayed in Canada. Mathew was wearing his Hockey uniform and Alfred had his baseball one. He decided to do the logical thing…and lie. If Gilbert could do it then how hard could it possibly be?

"Oh that one is Alfred…Mathew is my twin brother" he said with as much confidence as he could. "it's kind of hard knowing which one you are talking about sometimes since people often think Alfred looks like us."

"You and Mathew are identical!" she said handing Mathew his phone back.

"More than you think…we are identical in every way possible" he kept lying finding out it was actually easier than he thought.

"So who's the better hockey player?"

"Mathew is, he is impossible to beat" he said getting a little full of himself but hey! It doesn't matter if people don't know you are actually talking about yourself.

"Gilbert tried playing against him a couple of times but he would always end up with a couple of bruises and a broken ego."

"So how long has Gilbert known your brother?"

"They have known each other since Gilbert moved to Canada."

"Really?" she said with a surprised look "I find it strange that Gilbert never told me…he always tells me about the friends he makes." Mathew felt a sudden pain in his chest. Why hasn't Gilbert told them about me? He though. He felt hurt that Gilbert and he have been best friends for almost 3 years and he hasn't mentioned a single word about him. "Well we should probably be going" Brigitte said picking up their clothes and heading for the checkout area. Mathew followed wondering why it hurt more than it should.
