Chapter 3

Francis got off the plane and looked at all the passing tourists. His eyes suddenly stopped wondering when he saw a a white haired man german and a smiling spaniard in deep conversation.

"Gilbert. Antonio," Francis waved to them "what are you doing here".

"That's exactly what I was asking the tomato freak" Gilbert pointed at Antonio all three of them laughed.

"It's been so long since we've seen each other amigos" he patted both his friends on the back.

"It's kind of strange don't you think", Francis stroked his chin "we all haven't seen each other in, what? 21 years and all of the sudden Alice invites us to her twins' weddings"

"That is kind of strange" Antonio looked at both of them.

"I don't think so" Glibert shrugged

They both looked at Gilbert, "I guess we should start heading to the inn then" Francis got his bags and started walking.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in" Emily called

Matthew walked in a little out of breath fom running "Emily. They're here, at the front door"

They both ran to the front almost bumping into their fathers.

"Bonjour" Francis smiled "you two must be Alice's children"

They looked at each other and back up at Francis "yes, um hi" they said at the same time both a little nervous.

"Is Alice here" Gilbert asked while looking around "Emily looked at all three of the the men in front of her and back at her brother "um she's out right now let me take you three to your room"
