"Suspended! For three days! And you're telling me it wasn't anything bad!? Said Arthur as he was in the middle of an argument with his French partner. The other tried his best to calm him down as he didn't want Isobel to hear all the way to her room.

"Arthur please It's not like she got expelled or anything…"

"No but she got suspended and that's not any better than being expelled." He said once calmed down a bit. "Why did you have to tell her that story?"

"She wanted to know! Do you expect me to say now to a face like that?"

"I expect you to be responsible for once in your life!"

"Responsible? Arthur I've raised her every day since day one while you were off on your business trips and never once have I done anything wrong!" he said surprising the smaller blonde. "What makes this time any different? Arthur stayed silent, neither of them said a word as the silence continued to creep on the halls.

"I just don't want to lose her…" he finally said in a sort of whisper "I've missed so many moments of her life that…I don't want to see her grow up…" Arthur kept his head bowed as Francis closed the space between them and captured the other in a hug.

"She is growing…she's not going to be innocent forever"

"I know…" he said with a sigh as the French man smiled into his hair until he heard the other say, "you're still sleeping on the couch tonight.

oooooOOOOOooooo

"UGHH HIJO DE…" said the Spaniard as he felt a sharp pain I his stomach causing him to jolt awake but stopped mid-sentence as he noticed a pair of eyes like his.

"Luci, why did you wake me up like that?" he said as he rubbed his stomach in circles trying to get rid of the pain.

"Did papá send you to the couch because off me?" she said with watery eyes.

"Of course not" he said picking Lucianna and sitting her on his lap "He just got mad at me, that's all"

"But he's always mad at you and you never sleep on the couch"

"Why are you still awake," he said changing the subject "it's almost mid night and you have school tomorrow"

Lucianna shook her head "no, I can't go to school for three days"

"Oh, right…" he said scratching the back of his head. The two stayed in awkward silence for a while and Antonio noticed that Lucianna had a guilty look on her face.

"Luci-"

"IMSORRYWEBOMBEDRICHARDWITHPAINTBALLOONSBUTHESAREALJERKTOUSANDHEALMOSTMADEISOBELCRYONCEANDBESIDESWEWANTEDTOPLAYAPRANK ONSOMEONEBECAUSETHATSWHATYOUGUYSDIDANDITSREALLYFUNAND...we just want to be like you guys." she said slowing down in the last part with tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

Somehow Antonio was able to catch what she said, and captured her in a bear hug, both oblivious to the figure watching them from across the hall with a small smile on his face.

oooooOOOOOooooo

The three days eventually passed and everything went back to normal. Mathew, Lovino, and Arthur never once got a call from the principal or a teacher from then on and at first they had their suspicions but in the end they just shrugged it off and went on with their lives.

The three girls, along with the rest of the kids, grew and went on to high school. Matilda kept being her loud and enthusiastic self but became more responsible and eventually decided that pranks were childish and immature. Lucianna was, as always, a cheerful and giddy girl but matured and started acting according to her age. Isobel remained being as innocent as she was always and kept her love for magic but in a more conserved way. In conclusion they had the most perfect daughters anyone could ask for….or so they thought.

"Bye Gilbird, Later Mr. kuma!" said Matilda as she happily skipped out of the house on her way to school. Her cute outfit from 7 years ago was replaced by a white jacket with the Prussian eagle on the back a red shirt, jean shorts, and black combat boots. She wore proudly around her neck an iron cross and on her back the same red backpack with the maple leaf.

old girl stop. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

"Oh no…there's no way I'm making that mistake again" she said with a grin and her arms crossed "I'm gonna stay right here until papa walks out the door"

"This routine is getting annoying don't you think?" Matilda's eyes widened at the sound of his voice…again.

"PAPA!? B-BUT….YOU….I MEAN… HE…YOU….AAAGGGH!" she screamed in irritation as Mathew and Gilbert only laughed.

Mathew and Matilda walked to school just like they had done every day before that only this time it was Matilda's first day of high school and Mathew had a hard time accepting that his little girl was growing. When they got to the entrance of the school they saw Lovino and Lucianna. Luci had her hair in a side ponytail with her usual tomato hair clip keeping her bangs out-of-the-way. She was wearing a red skirt with a red and green striped top and green sneakers. Once she saw the Albino girl she ran up and locked her in a hug "Tilda! I missed you over the summer!"

"I missed you too!" she said hugging her back.

"I see you two are as lively as ever." Said a voice making them turn in the direction from which it came.

"Isobel!" they both said in unison as they saw the tall girl with slightly bushy eyebrows in front of them. She had her hair tied up in a complicated bun with a rose stuck in place, and wore an elegant purple blouse with an aqua skirt and ballerina flats. Both girls immediately had her in their arms as they haven't seen each other in three months.

"A charming reunion don't you agree?" said Arthur as he approached the other two men which nodded in response.

"They better not get in trouble…" said Lovino but was interrupted by the Canadian.

"Don't worry…they have been fine for seven years now…what could possibly happen?" he said as they all turned to face their respective daughters.

"Alright girls listen up," said Arthur "have fun in your first day but don't cause a commotion understood?"

"Don't worry father, we'll be fine" said Isobel speaking for everyone.

"You girls better not get in trouble" said Lovino with a scowl on his face.

"We won't, we promise!" said Lucianna. They all said goodbye and stood in the entrance until they saw them disappear out of view.

"LUCI LUCI LUCI LUCI!" Yelled a small blonde boy as he talked Lucianna to the ground.

"OW WHAT THE FUCK BRUNO! DON'T GO AROUND TACKING PEOPLE TO THE FUCKING GROUND YOU BASTARD!" she yelled as she got up.

"Holy crap that was awesome dude!" said Matilda ruffling Bruno's hair.

"VE! I MISSED YOU TILDA!" he said to his cousin "CAN YOU BELIEVE WE ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL NOW!"

"Wait" said Isobel "if you're here already then that means…" she turned her head around until she spotted a certain blonde teen. "Marco!"

Isobel ran up to the sixteen-year-old and captured him in a passionate kiss as she cupped her hands over his cheeks.

"So since you are a second year student you don't care about your cousins anymore?" said Matilda with sarcasm "I am deeply offended" she said bringing a hand up to her chest.

"Aww, getting jealous that your best friend is stealing your cousin already?" said Isobel with a mock tone still holding on to Marco's neck.

"You three haven't changed at all" he said with a sigh.

"Yea but you love us anyways!" said Lucianna who was now holding on to his arm for dear life. the stuff?" she asked raising and eyebrow.

"You bet I did…this is gonna be awesome!" she said with a grin.

"It's barely your first day and you are already planning a prank? Didn't your parents said not to get in trouble?" Asked Marco.

"You can't get in trouble if they can't catch you" said Isobel with a smile on her face.

"Yea besides, Matilda is practically invisible so we never get caught!"

"HEY!"

The late bell rang and they all ran to their respective classes eager to carry out their plan.
