     How did Matthew end up in here was the perfect question. The world meeting had just ended and he swore he only blinked for a second, so how did he get in this broom closet? Matthew noticed that another person was in there with him, most likely his captor.

     "Alfred..why are we in the broom closet?"

     "Mattie, it has come to my attention that Arthur and Francis need a push in a better direction. It's so obvious that they like each other but are just so old they won't admit it. So as the world's best match makers, we will give them that push," Alfred responded with such enthusiasm it kinda scared Matthew.

     "Wait...since when were we the "World's best match makers"?

     "Since right now. But enough of that. You are probably wondering why Arthur and Francis other than-"

     "I wasn't wondering that."

     "Shut up, I wasn't done. But technically we are brothers and so Arthur is technically my dad and Francis is technically your dad-"

     "Technically half of Europe are our parents Alfred," Matthew interrupted for the second time.

     "Did I ask for your smart ass comments?"

     "No," Matthew said with a sigh. He realized he was about to be roped into some crazy schemed plan made by Alfred that could possibly flop in the first few minutes.

     "I thought this out Mattie, I swear. This won't be like the Valentine's day incident, I SWEAR!" Matthew shuddered at the thought of that day being brought up again, that plan was a nightmare.

     "Fine, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to put Papa with someone. What's the plan Alfie?"

     "I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!" Alfred exclaimed loudly. They heard someone fall outside the door from the sudden outburst.

     "Maybe a little quieter?"

     "Right, but anyway, I call it Operation: Olive Garden," Alfred said while pulling out his folder of work papers and then pulling out a photo. The photo was of an Olive Garden and horribly edited in front of the Olive Garden was a picture of Francis and Arthur.

     "Why Olive Garden exactly?" Matthew asked while staring at the picture wondering when did he make this.

     "Have you ever been inside one before? That lighting will totally make them in the mood."

     "Alfie...for the love of Maple, why?"

     "Not gonna answer that. Anyway the plan is we put a reservation under my name. You'll tell Francis about it and I'll tell Arthur, but we don't tell them the other will be there. Now we will need to watch somehow so either we both become waiters or we watch from the bushes."

     "Wait, we could just walk on in and become waiters?"

     "Mattie...we're countries."

     "Okay fair point."

     With that the two brothers continued to discuss what they were to do. They decided to set it for next Saturday so that they had time to prepare...for the worst.
