Title: Reigning Memories
Chapter: 3 : Petite Matchmakers
"Do you know her Joe?" Asked Carrie Ann the smallest of the group. Everyone's attention was diverted towards his sudden outburst. Francoise pleaded him to keep quiet with her eyes. "No, Im so sorry Miss I mistook you for someone..." Joe lied. Francoise let out a sigh. "Francoise, Francoise play with me!" Carrie Ann insisted. "Of course I'll play with you." Joe watched how different Francoise seemed. Free, happy, and beautiful. Beautiful? Joe asked himself. Why would I think of that? He asked himself.
When Joe finally convinced the children to play a game together he snuck away with Francoise. "Princess what are you doing here!" He hissed. "Why are you asking?" Francoise said defiantely. "Arent you supposed to be at the palace?" Joe asked a little gentler. Francoise nodded and looked down. "I'm sorry I truly am, but you try and be princess, locked up between four walls all your life." She said as she sigh. Joe felt guilty. "I suppose that it wouldn't be much fun now would it?" Francoise said as a tear escaped her eye. Joe felt really badly and uncounsiously wiped the tear away. "Come on...Francoise." He said as he took her hand and led her to the children.
Meanwhile with the children...
"Hey guys did you see the way Joe looked at Francoise?" Said Tommy the oldest and 12 years of age. "Of course, they're in love you know." State Carrie Ann as if it was an obvious fact. "Well we have to do something about it!" Exclaimed Maria after a pause. "What should we do?" Asked Ralphy who was only 7. "Hmm, I have an idea!" Exclaimed Carrie Ann grinning madly. The four children huddled together and Carrie Ann whispered her plan. Maria let out a series of giggles and stopped as she saw Francoise and Joe approaching.
They continued as they were without a hint of suspicion, but secretly every once in a while the children would wink at one another. Ounce the sun set and the sky began to darken Francoise tugged Joe's sleeve. "We'd better head back, its getting late." She whispered. Joe nodded and Francoise called Jullisa using a neighbors phone. (A/N: I'm pretty sure that phones didn't exist just yet, but just please bare with me!) "Jullisa lets me some place so I can change my clothes." She whispered the phone. Jullisa agreed and they met at an old in. The moon was beginning to rise and Joe was beginning to worry himseld. Francoise had been changing for more than half and hour, finally she came out. She looked much cleaner, her hair was brushed neatly and her clothes washed and ironed. She smiled and motioned for them to leave. They bid farewell to the children and left off to the palace.
The children huddled up again. "I think we should give ourseleves a name." Maria suggested. Tommy though for a while and nodded. "We'll call each other the "Petite Matchmakers."
"What does petite mean?" Aske Carrie Ann. "It mean small, Caroline no get home were all late!" Tommy exclaimed. Carrie Ann pouted at the use of her full name and stomped off half angry because she had gotten scolded and half giddy because of the plan that would bring two individuals together.
A/N: Hi guys! I know that this chapter is extremely short, but it turned out great in the end, ne? Well until next time.
