: Pain Passing Feliciano :

     A young Feliciano rushed down the stairs and turned his attention to his nanny, Elizaveta, whom had called him down.

    "Mr.Feliciano," Elizaveta said softly. "your grandfather has sent you a package." She smiled, looking down at the box covered with brown paper, only supported by a hay string. Feliciano's eyes went wide as Romano came down from the stairs as well. "There is a note, I will keep it for you until you finish your lessons." She put the paper covering the box under her arm and the note under her other arm. She gave him a tin box and smiled at him.

       Feliciano looked up at her and down back at the box. He slowly opened the with a wax soldier. His mouth went wide with excitement and a smile fastly crept on to it. "Oh Grandpa!" He ran up the stairs happily with the tin box. Romano finished viewing this site and went down to Elizaveta.

          "Is there something for me?" He asked calmly.

         "No, but you could ask Mr.Feliciano if he would mind sharing with his brother, maybe next time?" And with that, Romano walked away sadly. Meanwhile, Feliciano jumped up and down on his bed smiling, admiring his new soldier doll. Afterwards, he went to his guardian/brother's office. He knocked on the door that said 'France's Study' waiting for a tall blond man to open the door. 

          "Ah, little Feliciano, what is it?" He smiled and cupped him in to his arms.

        "Could Michelle and Lucille(( Monaco )) come over? I am dearly bored and Romano and I have none, to play with!"

           "They come just about everyday.  Didn't you and Romano invite them for tea today?" He asked Feliciano. The young boy nodded. 

           "I just want somebody to see my new soldier doll!" and with that, he jumped out of Francis' grasp and went to his room. He opened the window and starred out of the chateau. Waiting. Waiting. And waiting. He spotted a little donkey carrying a wagon coming in to the entrance of the chateau. 'It's Lucille and Michelle!' he thought to himself running down the stairs, opening the door for him. His brothers, Francis and Romano, already greeting them.

          "Say 'hello', Feliciano." He whispered to them. Feliciano smiled and waved at the both of them.  

          "Hello Michelle and Lucille!" He continued to wave before they got in to distance. They hugged both Feliciano and Romano and gave Francis two boxes. 

           "This is for you, Mr.Bonnefoy." Michelle handed him a box decorated with pink and white wrapping paper. "Be sure to keep the paper once you open it, Mr.Bonnefoy." Next, Michelle handed Francis a box of candies with flavors of fruit.   

                   "It's for the tea party." She said quietly. And with that, they were excused in to the house. Feliciano bouned in front of them and escorted them in to his bed chamber. "Michelle, Lucille, Romano!" He said loudly, yet in a bubbly way. Once, he got everyone's attention, he showed the toy soldier, it was a girl.

                   "What's her name?" Michelle asked, reaching out to touch her blond curly hair.

                     "Dolly." He responded putting her on the window seal when everybody had their turn to inspect her. "Dolly needs sun, she's pale." He smiled and walked out with them in to the chateau's large outskirts. The children walked to the garden and found a empty area. "We'll make a pond right here, we could grow our own fruits to make candy."

                       "We brought candy." Lucille said. Michelle nodded while Romano just looked towards Feliciano

                        "Feliciano, don't tell me you wan-" Romano was soon interrupted.

                         "I need to go use the bathroom!" Feliciano ran towards the main house running over rocks and other items. Once in the house, he sneaked around the corridors, trying his hardest not to run in to a maid or staff of the house. He looked around corners of the house until getting in to the public parlor. He looked around in search of the candies. He found the little pantry in the corner of the public parlor, he jumped,but he couldn't reach. He saw a chair and mustered a  idea quickly. Once on the chair, he took the box of candies and brushed his hand across the rows of flavors.

                           'Lemon,' he picked one up nibbling on it before eating it completely. 'Oh, what if I like the orange, tangerine, or lime better?' he thought to himself while eating more and more.  The redhead found himself in a mess, he looked at the leftover row of grape. He had eaten every column of fruit except the grape. He tended to the purple pieces of candy quickly before jumping down. Little did he know, he had mud on his shoes. He went back out to the garden to see Francis and the gardener, Yekaterina, commenting on the little pond they made with rocks and their shovels. Well.. Francis was commenting on Yekaterina, it seems like. Afterwards, the children came in for tea and when Francis grabbed at the candies, he found that the box was empty. He gazed over at the children, the steam of the tea covering their innocent faces. Except one. Feliciano was red and smiling nervously.

                             "Feliciano.." Francis tapped his foot. "take your macaroon and go to your room. You will say good bye to you friends later."  Feliciano bowed, and walked sadly to his room. While in his room he looked over at his doll on her window seal. She was melting...
