NAT:.... *tensely quiet*

Mexico: okay final exams for college finished the third week of May! Where is admin!? She had no more excuses.

America: mex, stop sounding like a mom. Next thing you'll be hitting people with a chancla.

Mex: who says I don't use that on my own kids... in fact! I've used it on you, gringo.

America: mex....

Mex: and you ran away crying.

America: Mexico!

Canada and extra voice: *laughing*

Mexico: Wait a minute. Did you hear that?

America: yes actually...

Canada: she's behind the sofa.

Mexico: where could she be?

America: no she's behind the sofa.

Canada: *face palm*

Mexico: *has a chancla in his hand* admin...

Me: *comes out* fine.... I'm back from the dead.

Mexico: *goes to hit me* where have you been!?

Me: *dodges* mex, you are not my mom.

America and Canada: *laughing*

Mexico: shut up!

Me: anyway we have a question about Coco.

Mexico: yes!

America: sweet.

Canada: Alright.

Me: it's just for Mex.

Mex: even better!

America: awww...

Me: I already know the answer, but have you seen the movie Coco?

Mexico: ... of course! I mean it's amazing, about my culture, and premiered in me first!

Me: Who are your three favorite characters?

Mex: Héctor, Imelda, and Frida Kahlo.

Me: why are they your favorite?

Mex: Héctor is hilarious and he made me cry. Imelda cause she is an amazing singer and watching her slap Cruz with her boot was one of the best parts of the movie with saying "You killed the love of my life!" Then Frida becomes she was my adopted mom in real life and I love her!

America: he mourned like an entire year after she died.

Me: what's your favorite part of the movie?

Mex: *thinks a moment* that's so hard, but it's the flashback when hector sings...

Me, America, and Canada: no! Don't sing!

America: or we'll all start crying.

Mex: *has already magically pulled out his guitar*

Recuérdame
Hoy me tengo que ir mi amor
Recuérdame
No llores por favor
Te llevo en mi corazón y cerca me tendrás
A solas yo te cantaré soñando en regresar

Recuérdame
Aunque tenga que emigrar
Recuérdame
Si mi guitarra oyes llorar
Ella con su triste canto te acompañará
Hasta que en mis brazos tú estés
Recuérdame

Everyone: *crying like babies*

Me: why does it sound even sadder in Spanish!?

Canada and America: I don't know!

Mexico: cause Spanish is better at expressing emotion! It always has and always will!

Me: *wipes away tears* don't forget to ask and dare!

Mexico: or I'll play this again and make you all cry again. Adios!
