"…and so the guy's tooth went flying in the air and he was almost crying! It was AWESOME!" Matilda exclaimed with excitement as she showed the class her papa's broken hokey stick as they stared at her with mouths wide open.

"Well Matilda that was quite the story…"said Mrs. Edelstein struggling to find the right words to describe what Matilda had just said. "You must really like hockey…"

"I don't like it, I LOVE it!" she said interrupting her.

"Well thank you Matilda" she said shooing her back to her seat "who wants to go next?" she asked the class and a couple of hands shot up, but as all teachers, she chose someone else. "Isobel, why don't you come up next?"

Isobel waked up to the front of the classroom holding a brown book in her arms then turned around to face the class. "What do you have to show us for show and tell?"

"I brought my book of magic that my father gave me when I was 5"

"THAT'S SO AWESOME!"

"Matilda please don't interrupt" she said glaring at her student "go on Isobel"

"It's really cool because it has all kinds of magic, magical creatures and different spells!"

"What kinds of magical creatures?" asked the small blonde.

"Well there's gnomes, fairies, unicorns, trolls and mermaids!" she said getting exited with her own words.

"VE~ that's so cool!"

"HEY NO FAIR HOW COME BRUNO DIDN'T GET YELLED AT?!" Matilda was now standing in her seat as Mrs. Edelstein hushed her again and made her sit back down.

"Yea but not everyone can see them" she continued. "Father told me that they choose who will be able to see them"

"Can you see them –aru?" asked the brunet girl with the scarf and Isobel nodded.

"Oh so now Mei can talk too?" she said irritated only to get scolded again.

"Jeez you're just as weird as your dad" mumbled Richard just as the bell rung making them leave for recess.

"We'll continue when we get back"

oooooOOOOOooooo

On the playground Matilda and Luciana where looking for Isobel without a clue of where she could be. "Where did she go?" Matilda asked herself as Luciana looked around violently shaking her head.

"Please give it back!" they heard a familiar voice shout. They ran towards the voice only to find their friend being held back by a couple of third graders as Richard took her book. The other two boys were slightly taller than her. One had purple eyes and spiky blonde hair with a white cross holding his bangs away from his face while the other had long messy brown hair and one visible green eye as one was covered by half a mask.

"Why don't you ask your imaginary friends to help you?" he said as he and the other two boys laughed.

"Leave her alone!" shouted Luciana as Matilda threw a rock at one of the boys holding her.

"You little shrimp!" shouted the brunet holding his face. He let go of Isobel and grabbed Matilda by the shirt instead. The other pushed Isobel and held back Luciana which was about to charge at Richard. He, however, threw the book and left not before ordering the older boys to teach them a lesson.

"HEY!" shouted a voice causing them to turn around "why don't you mess with someone your own size!"

"Crap its Marco!"

"Let's get out of here" both boys let go of the girls causing them to fall on the ground.

"YOU COWARDS!" yelled Matilda waving a fist in the air with anger. "COME BACK AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!"

"Are you two okay?" he said kneeling down next to his cousins. Matilda only nodded.

"Sono così felice che tu sia qui Matilda ha quasi ucciso noi!" Luciana said tackling the blonde. Matilda rolled her eyes and stood up to walk towards Isobel. She was on her knees dusting her book which was thankfully not damaged.

"You okay Isobel?" she said helping her up.

"Yea…I'm fine"

"Why were those jerks doing what Richard wants?" she asked herself.

"Becaush he'sh shoing their homework for shem" he said as Luciana kept him trapped in a hug while squishing her cheek against his.

"Man this sucks" Matilda sighed as she brought her hand to her forehead. The bell rung and they returned to class, both the brunet and the albino being oblivious to their cousin sealing a glance at their friend.

oooooOOOOOooooo

Matilda sat in her seat with a grin on her face while Isobel and Luciana were growing concerned. The class finished their "show and tell" right before art class. The art teacher had let them have a free day and Matilda's grin only grew larger.

"Tilda what are you doing?" asked Isobel as Matilda carried various buckets of paint of different colors in her arms and a bag of balloons.

"We're the Bad Kiss Trio, daughters of the Bad Touch Trio are we not?" she asked with a scary glint in her violet eyes. The girls nodded. "And what is the thing they do the best?"

"Flirt with everything that moves?" asked Luciana as Isobel silently wondered what that was.

"Nein...well...ja…but besides that" the two girls thought for a moment only to be interrupted by an impatient albino "pranks!"

"We're pulling a prank on someone?!" said Luciana eagerly.

"Yup and I got the perfect victim…"

After art everyone was outside once again but this time eating their lunch, except for the trio. They were hiding up on the old tree house that nobody ever uses anymore and they waited patiently for their victim. They saw all the kids playing around but no sign of the ones they were looking for. They were about to give up until they spotted a certain raven haired boy sitting right underneath the tree. "This is perfect!" said Luciana in a loud whisper.

The boy sat unexpectedly under the tree when suddenly he felt something crash on his head, arms, legs and other parts as he was suddenly covered and dripping from head to toe in red, purple and green paint. He let out a cry of surprise and irritation as a blonde and a brunet approached him and started laughing.

"Richard you look so dumb!" the blonde said. While his friend was too busy rolling on the floor laughing.

The girls watched from above trying to contain their laughter. "If you think that's funny…"Matilda murmured "then you got another thing coming"

The laughing boys suddenly stopped as now they were the ones who were under attack by the girls also being completely covered in paint. This time the girls weren't able to contain their laughter.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS!" growled the boys as the girls quickly got down and ran for their lives still laughing.

oooooOOOOOooooo

"Ugh...why can't they clean up after themselves every once in a while, eh?" the Canadian was picking up clothes from the two albinos from the floor as he carried them to the laundry room. He was half way there when he heard the phone ringing. Grunting he set the basket down and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mattie, its Elizabeta" said the voice on the other side of the phone.

"Well this is a surprise, you don't usually call at this time of the day"

"Yea well I need you to come to the school…the principal wants to talk to you"


SUP PEOPLE DUCKLING HERE QUACK! So yea…Richard Is a bully…I didn't plan this from the start, it just…happened. ANYWAYS, it has come to my attention that the family tree is kind of confusing so allow me to explain… so Luciana is the daughter of Spain and Romano, Romano and Italy are brothers so Bruno and Marco are her cousins since they are the sons of Italy and Germany…so far so good? Ok. Germany and Prussia are brothers so that means that Marco and Bruno are also Matilda's cousins. Richard is also Matilda's cousin since he's America's son and Canada and America are related. You good? Ok. In this particular story France is Canada's cousin, Isobel and Matilda are distant cousins but I just refer to her as her friend to make things less confusing in the story.

Translations:

Sono così felice che tu sia qui Matilda ha quasi ucciso- I'm so glad you're here Matilda almost got us killed (Italian)

Nein- no (German)

Ja- yes (German)

I think that's it...DUCKLING OUT QUACK!
