"Mattie!" Alfred flew into Matthew, tackling him. They both fell to the floor and Matthew hit his head on the cabinets.

"Oww." Matthew clutched his head.

"Alfred, no hurting your brother. We don't want to prolong his healing time," Arthur yelled from the living room.

"Sorry dude I misjudged my speed." Alfred gave a hand to Matthew to help him up.

"It's fine Alfred." Matthew grabbed his crutches. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"I have to have a reason to want to talk to my awesome twinnie." Alfred flashed a smile.

"I feel like you're trying to sell me something," Matthew deadpanned.

Alfred laughed. "You're so funny. Anyways I was thinking why don't we make our costumes for the Halloween Dance."

Matthew sighed. "I knew it," he whispered under his breath.

"Well what do you say?" Alfred asked.

"No."

Alfred stood there for a second, shocked, then tagged Matthew like a lost puppy. "Please Mattie, pretty pretty pretty please. It would mean the world to me if we did. We could go as Team Rocket or even better Fred and George Weasley. Or ya'know creepy twins." ALfred shuddered. "How about we forget the last option. But please Mattie," Alfred whined and chased Matthew around the house.

Matthew stopped suddenly and Alfred ran into him. "If I say yes, will you shut up?"

Alfred nodded and zipped his lips.

"Fine then yes," Matthew sighed.

Alfred squealed happily and almost choked Matthew in a hug.

"Alfred, what did I say about hurting your brother?" Arthur scolded.

Alfred rubbed the back of his head. "Not to."

"So we need wigs, Hogwarts robes and ties, some candy to 'sell', wands, and a spell book or two," Alfred rattled off a long list of things to buy or make.

"Wait what?" Matthew asked.

"SO WE NEED WIGS, HOGWARTS ROBES AND." Alfred was cut off by Matthew elbowing him in the gut.

"Not in my ear eh," Matthew winced. "I heard you just fine but we never agreed on a costume."

"You said yes and Fred and George Weasley were the best idea I had." Alfred nodded. "They are the best twins ever, along with Hikaru and Kaoru, but nobody's going to get that reference."

"Okay sure whatever," Matthew sighed.

"Thank you bro!" Alfred bear hugged Matthew from behind. "You're my favorite bro."

"I'm your only brother eh?" Matthew squirmed. "Now set me down."

Alfred laughed. "Okay dude." He set Matthew down.

"Now let's go costume hunting!" Alfred stood on top of a chair and struck a heroic pose.

Alfred ran off laughing to Violet's store.

"Is he always like this around Halloween?" Matthew asked.

Arthur took a sip of tea. "Yes, you get used to it with enough Aspirins. Wait till after you're done Trick-or-Treating, he gets super hyper from all the candy he eats."

Arthur took another sip of tea.

"One year I had to use a mild tranquilizer on him."

"Eh?" Matthew sat down across from Arthur. "How do you stay sane?"

"Tea." Arthur lifted his teacup. "Tea and British Television. Not Sherlock though, Sherlock is never calming. I'm still not over the last cliffhanger."

Matthew nodded.

"Would you like some tea" Arthur asked.

"Yes please! That would be great." Matthew smiled.

Arthur went to the kitchen to brew some tea. While he did that Matthew gathered courage to ask a question that he's been meaning to ask.

Arthur came back with a Canadian Flag teacup for Matthew. "Here's your tea sweetie."

Matthew took a sip. "I was wondering."

"Yes?" Arthur sat down.

"If I could call Francis?" Matthew's heart jumped to his throat

Arthur nodded. "Of course you can. Don't you have his number?"

"No, I don't." Matthew blushed. "I don't even have a phone."

Arthur's eyes widened. "That's what I forgot! I meant to give you this."

Arthur ran into his bedroom and came out a second later carrying a box.

"Here, this is yours." Arthur handed him the box.

It was covered in pancake wrapping paper. Matthew opened it carefully.

"You got me a phone!" Matthew said. "Thank you so much."

Arthur smiled. "You can transfer Francis's number from my phone to yours." He handed Matthew his phone.

"Thank you so much." Matthew looked at all of Arthur's contacts, but he couldn't find Francis.

"Excuse me, but Francis isn't listed in here," Matthew said.

Arthur shook his head. "Oh yes, how could I have forgotten. He's listed under 'French Douche Bag'."

Matthew snorted and copied the number along with Alfred's and Arthur's.

"Thank you again Arthur." Matthew drank the rest of his tea.

"You can just call me Uncle if you want," Arthur said.

Matthew tilted his head. "No I like Arthur. It suits you."

Matthew headed to his room and almost called Francis. Almost.

"Hey Mattie!" Alfred picked up Matthew and dragged him to his room.

"Ahh!" Matthew screamed in surprise.

"Relax bro it's just me I need you to try on these robes that I made you for our Halloween costume." Alfred gave him Gryffindor robes.

Matthew held the robes out in front of him. "You made these? They look great."

"Yeah one Home Ec. class goes a long way," Alfred said.

Matthew put on the robe. "Wow this is amazing."

"We're prepared to go door to door demanding strangers for candy." Alfred brought out two matching candy bags. "If we match it's cuter, and the cuter it is the more candy we get."

"You sure do have this planned out eh," Matthew said.

"And then I have plastic bags to hide candy in under our robes so that we can make it seem like we have less candy and then sympathetic people will feel bad for us and give us more," Alfred said.

"You should be a politician, you sure know how to lie and manipulate people. It's why your government sucks." Matthew walked out before Alfred could get the passive aggressive insult.

Hello! Hetafan is back! To my only reviewer for this chapter. Yes this is a RusAme story. If Russia escorts Matthew out the building then he gets a chance to talk to America. I think its a genius plan. In other news it is now summer break and I still have homework. On stuff they haven't even taught me yet. I recently started watching Attack on Titan, I'm obsessed. If anybody would like to make art of any of my stories and PM me the link that would be amazing. I'd love to see how you envisioned my work. Other than that, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Please review. I love reading them.
