Blueberry and i became close friends and her and i where almost never apart, just like minty and Big Brother. I am now fifteen and i still do everything i used to do. I still went to the woods to play with everyone, all the magical creatures. Big Brother and i continued to grow closer and so did Daddy and Mattie, I got closer and closer with them every year. Now something huge was happening and i wanted to be part of it. Someone was leaving England to go to something called the New World. It sounded like a lot of fun, and i would love to go and explore. Blue and i talked about it for days before finally one night at dinner with Big Brother, Daddy and Mattie, Blueberry and i decided to ask and i looked at them
"...Can i ask you something Big Brother and Daddy?"
they both looked at me and smiled
"Oui of course mon petit!"
"yes poppet, whats on your mind?"
"you know how that ship is leaving for the New World in a month?"
They both nod
"Poppet...what are you thinking?"
"I was wondering if Blue and i can go on the trip too, it sounds like fun and a great adventure!"
Big Brother looked at Daddy and they stepped away from the table.
Arthur POV
Once we where away from the table Francis looked at me
"Angleterre? what is wrong?"
"The New World is where Alfred is from...remember when his mother came when we found him? She was what she called a Native Indian...but she said she was not from the place near here called India...she was from over the sea...Should we let him go? I-"
Francis wrapped his arms around me
"Angleterre, you are more of family to Alfred then anyone could ever be, do you see how much he always smiles and how happy he is? Let him go. You know he loves to go and explore"
I nod softly and hug him tight
"But i dont want him to leave..."
"I know Ang...Arty love, i know, but remember, if you truely love someone you should let them fly."
I smiled softly, Francis knew how to cheer me up, Arty was his little nickname for me for certain times.
"You wont leave me will you?"
"You would have to throw me out..but even then i would not leave."
I smiled more as Francis kissed me deeply and held me close comforting me
"How about after the boys go to bed tonight, we go and relax and have some fun?"
I nod, it had been a while since we went to bed in that way, it would be nice. I gently placed my head on his chest over his heart and relaxed a bit more before we walked back into the dining room. I looked up and smiled looking at Alfred.
"Alright, we talked.." I looked at Francis and he put a comforting arm around my shoulders and nods and i look nack at Alfred "You can go...but keep in contact, i can show you how...And please come home"
Alfred had a huge smile on his face as he jumped from his seat and came and hugged us tightly
"I promise! i will write and i will come home! Thank you thank you thank you!"
I smiled and I stood there holding Alfred in my arms, but for some reason i had a bad feeling, something was going to happen
