A/N: We are drawing to close...maybe one or two more chapters and we're done. I love that so many have alerted my this story...it makes me happy.

Two days later, Matthew was exploring the house he was in. Everything he saw gave him a sense of curiosity and he wanted to see what it was. On more that one occasion, he pulled an electrical cord out, stopping what Francis was watching or Arthur was cooking. Right now, he's trying to get to the top of the big black box. It has random holes in it and he often saw Arthur toying with it.

*RING*RING*

Matthew turned to the doorway of the living room and raced to it. The humans have put some type of barrier to cover it, thus trapping him in the room. He didn't mind but why did they have to do it when he was asleep as well? It freaked him out at night, feeling trapped.

Gilbert came stampeding into the house, a big yellow blob on top of his head. It moved slightly, altering people that it was alive. He walked up to the living room and stopped short.

"Why did you child proof the living room?"

"We have a guest over."

"Okay, where is the guest?"

Francis pointed down, near the bottom of the gate. Matthew stared up, before scampering away. He went back to contemplating on climbing the box.

"Arthur! Matthew is going near your amp!"

"Get him away! I do not want the same thing to happen twice," Arthur said from the laundry room. "God knows how he got up on the kitchen counter, never mind the fact that he pushed the radio into the sink," Arthur mumbled to himself.

Gilbert watched as the little guy tried to climb the amp. He turned to the kitchen where Francis was heading. He didn't feel the slight flutter of his hair where he put his bird. Nor did he feel when the bird left and landed on the other side of the gate. He did however hear the small chirping of his bird and a little giggle come from the living room. He shrugged his shoulders and continued to the kitchen where he could smell and taste the delicious food he knows is there.

The bird, who Matthew found out was named Gilbird, came bouncing towards him and landed with a soft thump. The little people have a canny ability to know what animals are saying even when they can't talk. So he listened to the bird tell a tale about its owner. He laughed at one part of the tale. He thought the human was funny. The bird was funny as well.

"Did that really happen, Gilbird?"

*CHIRP*CHIRP*

"Oh! Gilbert must have been really embarrassed, then."

*chirp*chirp*chirp*

Matthew chuckled. Then he looked up at the box behind him and thought for a second. "You could fly, right?" he asked the bird. The bird nodded his little head and lifted his wings. Gilbird is a canary so that doesn't make him that big of a bird but he can still carry the tiny person up to the top.

Matthew climbed up onto Gilbird, leaning to wrap his arms around the neck in front of him. Gilbird flapped his wings for some air and floated to the top of box. The higher they flew, the more Matthew saw of the room he was in. He could tell it's a big room from the ground but from this high up he saw that it's much bigger than he thought it would be.

They got to the top where there were some things that were big and some that were small. They landed on the top and peered down the side of the box. He smiled and jumped up.

"Let's explore what this is before we get in trouble for being here!"

Francis and Gilbert were getting the table ready, Gilbert sneaking in bits and pieces off of every plate.

"Francis!" Arthur screamed running into the kitchen, furious green eyes locking onto confused blue ones.

"Oui?"

"I told you to get him away from my amp!"

"Oui? What's the problem?"

"How did he get to the top!"

"…"

Gilbert then noticed that his little bird is missing from his head. He looked around, in search of the canary. Not finding the bird, he jumped up, about to have a panic attack.

"Where's Gilbird?"

*CHIRP*CHIRP*CHIRP*CHIRP*

They all stared at each other. They slowly walked to the living room and saw the yellow bird bouncing on the top of the amp. He was moving frantically, pointing with his beak to the side of the amp.

"Wait, where did Matthew go?"

The bird's frantic movements got every one's attention. They all followed the bird's pointing. Matthew was climbing down the side of the amp.

"Matthew, what are you doing?"

The little blonde looked up and waved at the humans. But since he was using both hands, he lost his footing and fell. Everything happened in slow motion; the falling, the screaming, the running and the light. Arthur looked up and saw that he had his wand in his hand and that in the middle of the living room was a blonde of average height, lying down in his back.

"Eh?" Everyone was staring at the blonde, who in turn was staring at the amp, which at the moment was not that big.

Alfred and Ana looked up when they heard something scream. They didn't know what it was but Alfred had a funny a feeling that it was probably his brother, but that's impossible. Matthew was tiny and no one but the rats can hear him. Mattie, where are you?

"Alfred, you go out and find your brother," Ana said, getting up and fixing a bag that Alfred would take with him.

"Are you sure?"

"Listen, your brother may be in danger and you are the only one that can help him." Ana handed the bag to Alfred and she cupped his chin in her hands. "Please, you have to bring him back. Please bring back my baby, please."

"Okay, ma, I will not fail you."

Off, Alfred went, to find his long lost brother and protect him no matter what.
